A report, 'Regulation of the O-linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine transferase by insulin signaling,' is newly published data in Journal of Biological Chemistry. "O-Linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) catalyzes the addition of O-linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) onto serine and threonine residues in response to stimuli or stress analogous to phosphorylation by Ser/Thr-kinases. Like protein phosphatases, OGT appears to be targeted to myriad specific substrates by transiently interacting with specific targeting subunits," researchers in the United States report (see also Enzyme Research).
"Here, we show that OGT is activated by insulin ...
