Addition of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is a ubiquitous form of intracellular glycosylation catalyzed by the conserved O-linked GlcNAc transferase (OGT). OGT contains an N-terminal domain of tetratricopeptide (TPR) repeats that mediates the recognition of a broad range of target proteins. Components of the nuclear pore complex are major OGT targets, as OGT depletion by RNA interference (RNAi) results in the loss of GlcNAc modification at the nuclear envelope. To gain insight into the mechanism ...[more]
