Abstract
Proteins are intimately involved in executing and controlling virtually all cellular processes. To understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie plant phenotypes, it is essential to investigate protein expression, interactions, and modifications, to name a few. The proteome is highly dynamic in time and space, and a plethora of protein modifications, protein interactions, and network constellations are at play under specific conditions and developmental stages. Analysis of proteomes aims to characterize the entire protein complement of a particular cell type, tissue, or organism-a challenging task, given the dynamic nature of the proteome. Modern mass spectrometry-based proteomics technology can be used to address this complexity at a system-wide scale by the global identification and quantification of thousands of proteins. In this review, we present current methods and technologies employed in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and provide examples of dynamic changes in the plant proteome elucidated by proteomic approaches.

Abstract
The attachment of a single O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) to serine and threonine residues of numerous proteins in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria is a reversible post-translational modification (PTM) and plays an important role as a regulator of various cellular processes in both healthy and disease states. Advances in strategies and tools that allow for the detection of dynamic O-GlcNAcylation on cellular proteins have helped to enhance our initial and ongoing understanding of its dynamic effects on cellular stimuli and given insights into its link to the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases. Furthermore, chemical genetic strategies and related tools have been successfully applied to a myriad of biological systems with a new level of spatiotemporal and molecular precision. These strategies have started to be used in studying and controlling O-GlcNAcylation both in vivo and in vitro. In this minireview, overviews of recent advances in molecular tools being applied to the detection and identification of O-GlcNAcylation on cellular proteins as well as on individual proteins are provided. In addition, chemical genetic strategies that have already been applied or are potentially usable in O-GlcNAc functional are also discussed.

Abstract
In the mid-1980s, the identification of serine and threonine residues on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins modified by a N-acetylglucosamine moiety (O-GlcNAc) via an O-linkage overturned the widely held assumption that glycosylation only occurred in the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and secretory pathways. In contrast to traditional glycosylation, the O-GlcNAc modification does not lead to complex, branched glycan structures and is rapidly cycled on and off proteins by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA), respectively. Since its discovery, O-GlcNAcylation has been shown to contribute to numerous cellular functions, including signaling, protein localization and stability, transcription, chromatin remodeling, mitochondrial function, and cell survival. Dysregulation in O-GlcNAc cycling has been implicated in the progression of a wide range of diseases, such as diabetes, diabetic complications, cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. This review will outline our current understanding of the processes involved in regulating O-GlcNAc turnover, the role of O-GlcNAcylation in regulating cellular physiology, and how dysregulation in O-GlcNAc cycling contributes to pathophysiological processes.

Abstract
Despite its central importance as a regulator of cellular physiology, identification and precise mapping of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) post-translational modification (PTM) sites in proteins by mass spectrometry (MS) remains a considerable technical challenge. This is due in part to cleavage of the glycosidic bond occurring prior to the peptide backbone during collisionally activated dissociation (CAD), which leads to generation of characteristic oxocarbenium ions and impairs glycosite localization. Herein, we leverage CAD-induced oxocarbenium ion generation to trigger ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD), an alternate high-energy deposition method that offers extensive fragmentation of peptides while leaving the glycosite intact. Upon activation using UV laser pulses, efficient photodissociation of glycopeptides is achieved with production of multiple sequence ions that enable robust and precise localization of O-GlcNAc sites. Application of this method to tryptic peptides originating from O-GlcNAcylated proteins TAB1 and Polyhomeotic confirmed previously reported O-GlcNAc sites in TAB1 (S395 and S396) and uncovered new sites within both proteins. We expect this strategy will complement existing MS/MS methods and be broadly useful for mapping O-GlcNAcylated residues of both proteins and proteomes.

Abstract
Protein O-GlcNAcylation is a non-canonical glycosylation of nuclear, mitochondrial, and cytoplasmic proteins with the attachment of a single O-linked β-N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) moiety. Advances in labeling and identifying O-GlcNAcylated proteins have helped improve the understanding of O-GlcNAcylation at levels that range from basic molecular biology to cell signaling and gene regulation to physiology and disease. This review describes these advances in chemistry involving chemical reporters and their bioorthogonal reactions utilized for detection and construction of O-GlcNAc proteomes in a molecular mechanistic view. This detailed view will help better understand the principles of the chemistries utilized for biology discovery and promote continued efforts in developing new molecular tools and new strategies to further explore protein O-GlcNAcylation.

Abstract
Carbohydrate receptors with a chiral framework have been generated by combining a tetra-aminopyrene and a C3-symmetrical triamine via isophthalamide spacers bearing water-solubilising groups. These "synthetic lectins" are the first to show enantiodiscrimination in aqueous solution, binding N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) with 16 : 1 enantioselectivity. They also show exceptional affinities. GlcNAc is bound with Ka up to 1280 M-1, more than twice that measured for previous synthetic lectins, and three times the value for wheat germ agglutinin, the lectin traditionally employed to bind GlcNAc in glycobiological research. Glucose is bound with Ka = 250 M-1, again higher than previous synthetic lectins. The results suggest that chirality can improve complementarity to carbohydrate substrates and may thus be advantageous in synthetic lectin design.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation is the modification of serine and threonine residues with β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) on intracellular proteins. This dynamic modification is attached by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and removed by O-GlcNAcase (OGA) and is a critical regulator of various cellular processes. Furthermore, O-GlcNAcylation is dysregulated in many diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. However, the precise role of this modification and its cycling enzymes (OGT and OGA) in normal and disease states remains elusive. This is partially due to the difficulty in studying O-GlcNAcylation with traditional genetic and biochemical techniques. In this review, we will summarize recent progress in chemical approaches to overcome these obstacles. We will cover new inhibitors of OGT and OGA, advances in metabolic labeling and cellular imaging, synthetic approaches to access homogeneous O-GlcNAcylated proteins, and cross-linking methods to identify O-GlcNAc-protein interactions. We will also discuss remaining gaps in our toolbox for studying O-GlcNAcylation and questions of high interest that are yet to be answered.

Abstract
Addition of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) to the hydroxyl group of serine/threonine residues (O-GlcNAcylation) is a post-translational modification common to multicellular eukaryotes. O-GlcNAc plays an important role in the regulation of many biological processes including, but not limited to, cell cycle progression, transcription, translation, signal transduction, and stress response. Physiologically, it functions as a major stress sensor that inhibits the inflammatory response and cell apoptosis, reduces the amount of protein degradation, and adjusts the body's immunity. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the physiological significance of O-GlcNAcylation, as well as its correlation with inflammation and immunity.

Abstract
The combination of a pyrenyl tetraamine with an isophthaloyl spacer has led to two new water-soluble carbohydrate receptors ("synthetic lectins"). Both systems show outstanding affinities for derivatives of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) in aqueous solution. One receptor binds the methyl glycoside GlcNAc-β-OMe with Ka ≈20,000 m(-1), whereas the other one binds an O-GlcNAcylated peptide with Ka ≈70,000 m(-1). These values substantially exceed those usually measured for GlcNAc-binding lectins. Slow exchange on the NMR timescale enabled structural determinations for several complexes. As expected, the carbohydrate units are sandwiched between the pyrenes, with the alkoxy and NHAc groups emerging at the sides. The high affinity of the GlcNAcyl-peptide complex can be explained by extra-cavity interactions, raising the possibility of a family of complementary receptors for O-GlcNAc in different contexts.
