O-linked N-acetylglucosamine linkage (O-GlcNAcylation) to serine or threonine residues regulates numerous biological processes; however, its role in DNA damage response remains elusive. Here, we found that O-GlcNAcylation is induced by DNA damage response. O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), the solo enzyme for O-GlcNAcylation, relocates to the sites of DNA damage and induces the O-GlcNAcylation of histone H2AX and mediator of DNA damage checkpoint 1 (MDC1). The O-GlcNAcylation negatively regulates DNA ...[more]
