Systematic investigation on the effect of O-GlcNAcylation on condensate formation under heat stress and recovery
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: O-GlcNAc is known to regulate the aggregation and condensate formation of several proteins, but how O-GlcNAc regulates protein solubilities globally has yet to be systematically investigated. Here, we employed a chemoproteomic workflow integrating selective enrichment and multiplex proteomics to quantify the solubilities of O-GlcNAcylated and non-modified proteins, as well as their role in RNA condensate formation. The solubilities were also quantified after heat stress and recovery to investigate the condensate formation during heat stress response. Surprisingly. we found O-GlcNAc leads to dramatic solubility decrease of the modified proteins, and the degree of solubility drop is related to the protein localization and functions. Site-specific analysis found the adjacent residues and secondary structures of the glycosites are pivotal for the effect of O-GlcNAc for solubility change, and the number of acidic residues is related to the different effect of O-GlcNAc in heat stress and recovery. Additionally, it was found that O-GlcNAc promotes the dissociation of RNA condensates during heat stress, while it enhances the formation of RNA condensates in the recovery phase. The glycosites that facilitate the dissociation or the formation of the RNA condensates are distinct, and the physiological properties of their surroundings residues are diverse. This work advances our understanding of the role of O-GlcNAc in regulating biomolecular condensates and will be a useful resource for future research in biomolecular condensates.
