Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:4071-4082. [PMID: 38958703 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05352-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
The study of glycoproteomics presents a set of unique challenges, primarily due to the low abundance of glycopeptides and their intricate heterogeneity, which is specific to each site. Glycoproteins play a crucial role in numerous biological functions, including cell signaling, adhesion, and intercellular communication, and are increasingly recognized as vital markers in the diagnosis and study of various diseases. Consequently, a quantitative approach to glycopeptide research is essential. One effective strategy to address this need is the use of multiplex glycopeptide labeling. By harnessing the synergies of 15N metabolic labeling via the isotopic detection of amino sugars with glutamine (IDAWG) technique for glycan parts and tandem mass tag (TMT)pro labeling for peptide backbones, we have developed a method that allows for the accurate quantification and comparison of multiple samples simultaneously. The adoption of the liquid chromatography-synchronous precursor selection (LC-SPS-MS3) technique minimizes fragmentation interference, enhancing data reliability, as shown by a 97% TMT labeling efficiency. This method allows for detailed, high-throughput analysis of 32 diverse samples from 231BR cell lines, using both 14N and 15N glycopeptides at a 1:1 ratio. A key component of our methodology was the precise correction for isotope and TMTpro distortions, significantly improving quantification accuracy to less than 5% distortion. This breakthrough enhances the efficiency and accuracy of glycoproteomic studies, increasing our understanding of glycoproteins in health and disease. Its applicability to various cancer cell types sets a new standard in quantitative glycoproteomics, enabling deeper investigation into glycopeptide profiles.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is one of the most common and important post-translational modifications of proteins involved in regulating glycoprotein functions. The chemoenzymatic glycan labeling strategy allows rapid, efficient, and selective interrogation of glycoproteins. Glycoproteomics identifies protein glycosylation events at a large scale, providing information such as peptide sequences, glycan structures, and glycosylated sites. This review discusses the recent development of chemoenzymatic labeling strategies for glycoprotein analysis, mainly including glycoprotein and glycosite profiling. Furthermore, we highlight the chemoenzymatic enrichment approaches in mass spectrometry analysis for three classes of glycan modifications, including N-glycosylation, O-GlcNAcylation, and mucin-type O-glycosylation. Finally, we highlight the emerging trends in new tools and cutting-edge technologies available for glycoproteomic research.

Abstract
Protein lipidation dynamically controls protein localization and function within cellular membranes. A unique form of protein O-fatty acylation in Corynebacterium, termed protein O-mycoloylation, involves the attachment of mycolic acids─unusually large and hydrophobic fatty acids─to serine residues of proteins in these organisms' outer mycomembrane. However, as with other forms of protein lipidation, the scope and functional consequences of protein O-mycoloylation are challenging to investigate due to the inherent difficulties of enriching and analyzing lipidated peptides. To facilitate the analysis of protein lipidation and enable the comprehensive profiling and site mapping of protein O-mycoloylation, we developed a chemical proteomics strategy integrating metabolic labeling, click chemistry, cleavable linkers, and a novel liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method employing LC separation and complementary fragmentation methods tailored to the analysis of lipophilic, MS-labile O-acylated peptides. Using these tools in the model organism Corynebacterium glutamicum, we identified approximately 30 candidate O-mycoloylated proteins, including porins, mycoloyltransferases, secreted hydrolases, and other proteins with cell envelope-related functions─consistent with a role for O-mycoloylation in targeting proteins to the mycomembrane. Site mapping revealed that many of the proteins contained multiple spatially proximal modification sites, which occurred predominantly at serine residues surrounded by conformationally flexible peptide motifs. Overall, this study (i) discloses the putative protein O-mycoloylome for the first time, (ii) yields new insights into the undercharacterized proteome of the mycomembrane, which is a hallmark of important pathogens (e.g., Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis), and (iii) provides generally applicable chemical strategies for the proteomic analysis of protein lipidation.

Abstract
A novel fluorogenic alkyl diazirine photocrosslinker bearing an o-hydroxycinnamate moiety has been developed for identification of the targets of bioactive molecules. The o-hydroxycinnamate moiety can be converted to the corresponding 7-hydroxycoumarin derivative, which should be created on the interacting site within the photocaptured target protein. The label yield and fluorescence intensity have been immensely improved in comparison with our previous aromatic crosslinkers to facilitate target identification in small quantities.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic modulator of signaling pathways, equal in magnitude to the widely studied phosphorylation. With the rapid development of tools for its detection at the single protein level, the O-GlcNAc modification rapidly emerged as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target in human diseases. Yet, mapping the human O-GlcNAcome in various tissues is essential for generating relevant biomarkers. In this study, we used human banked tissue as a sample source to identify O-GlcNAcylated protein targets relevant to human diseases. Using human term placentas, we propose (1) a method to clean frozen banked tissue of blood proteins; (2) an optimized protocol for the enrichment of O-GlcNAcylated proteins using immunoaffinity purification; and (3) a bioinformatic workflow to identify the most promising O-GlcNAc targets. As a proof-of-concept, we used 45 mg of banked placental samples from two pregnancies to generate intracellular protein extracts depleted of blood protein. Then, antibody-based O-GlcNAc enrichment on denatured samples yielded over 2000 unique HexNAc PSMs and 900 unique sites using 300 μg of protein lysate. Due to efficient sample cleanup, we also captured 82 HexNAc proteins with high placental expression. Finally, we provide a bioinformatic tool (CytOVS) to sort the HexNAc proteins based on their cellular localization and extract the most promising O-GlcNAc targets to explore further. To conclude, we provide a simple 3-step workflow to generate a manageable list of O-GlcNAc proteins from human tissue and improve our understanding of O-GlcNAcylation's role in health and diseases.

Abstract
Cellular metabolism encompasses a complex array of interconnected biochemical pathways that are required for cellular homeostasis. When dysregulated, metabolism underlies multiple human pathologies. At the heart of metabolic networks are enzymes that have been historically studied through a reductionist lens, and more recently, using high throughput approaches including genomics and proteomics. Merging these two divergent viewpoints are chemical proteomic technologies, including activity-based protein profiling, which combines chemical probes specific to distinct enzyme families or amino acid residues with proteomic analysis. This enables the study of metabolism at the network level with the precision of powerful biochemical approaches. Herein, we provide a primer on how chemical proteomic technologies custom-built for studying metabolism have unearthed fundamental principles in metabolic control. In parallel, these technologies have leap-frogged drug discovery through identification of novel targets and drug specificity. Collectively, chemical proteomics technologies appear to do the impossible: uniting systematic analysis with a reductionist approach.

Abstract
The complexity and heterogeneity of protein glycosylation present an analytical challenge to the studies of characterization and quantitation. Various LC-MS-based quantitation strategies have emerged in recent decades. Metabolic stable isotope labeling has been developed to enhance the accurate LC/MS-based quantitation between different cell lines. Stable isotope labeling by amino acids in a cell culture (SILAC) is the most widely used metabolic labeling method in proteomic analysis. However, it can only label the peptide backbone and is thus limited in glycomic studies. Here, we present a metabolic isotope labeling strategy, named GlyProSILC (Glycan Protein Stable Isotope Labeling in Cell Culture), that can label both the glycan motif and peptide backbone from the same batch of cells. It was performed by feeding cells with a heavy medium containing amide-15N-glutamine, 13C6-arginine (Arg6), and 13C6-15N2-lysine (Lys8). No significant change of cell line metabolism after GlyProSILC labeling was observed based on transcriptomic, glycomic, and proteomic data. The labeling conditions, labeling efficiency, and quantitation accuracy were investigated. After quantitation correction, we simultaneously quantified 62 N-glycans, 574 proteins, and 344 glycopeptides using the same batch of mixed 231BR/231 cell lines. So far, GlyProSILC provides an accurate and effective quantitation approach for glycomics, proteomics, and glycoproteomics in a cell culture system.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation is a conserved post-translational modification that attaches N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) to myriad cellular proteins. In response to nutritional and hormonal signals, O-GlcNAcylation regulates diverse cellular processes by modulating the stability, structure, and function of target proteins. Dysregulation of O-GlcNAcylation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer, diabetes, and neurodegeneration. A single pair of enzymes, the O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA), catalyzes the addition and removal of O-GlcNAc on over 3,000 proteins in the human proteome. However, how OGT selects its native substrates and maintains the homeostatic control of O-GlcNAcylation of so many substrates against OGA is not fully understood. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human OGT and the OGT-OGA complex. Our studies reveal that OGT forms a functionally important scissor-shaped dimer. Within the OGT-OGA complex structure, a long flexible OGA segment occupies the extended substrate-binding groove of OGT and positions a serine for O-GlcNAcylation, thus preventing OGT from modifying other substrates. Conversely, OGT disrupts the functional dimerization of OGA and occludes its active site, resulting in the blocking of access by other substrates. This mutual inhibition between OGT and OGA may limit the futile O-GlcNAcylation cycles and help to maintain O-GlcNAc homeostasis.

Abstract
Activity-based proteome profiling (ABPP) is a powerful chemoproteomic technology for global profiling of protein activity and modifications. The tandem orthogonal proteolysis-ABPP (TOP-ABPP) strategy utilizes a clickable enrichment tag with cleavable linkers to enable direct identification of probe-labeled residue sites within the target proteins. However, such a site-specific chemoproteomic workflow requires a long operation time and complex sample preparation procedures, limiting its wide applications. In the current study, we developed a simplified and ultrafast peptide enrichment and release TOP-ABPP ("superTOP-ABPP") pipeline for site-specific quantitative chemoproteomic analysis with special agarose resins that are functionalized with azide groups and acid-cleavable linkers. The azide groups allow enrichment of peptides that are labeled by the alkynyl probe through a one-step click reaction, which can be conveniently released by acid cleavage for subsequent LC-MS/MS analysis. In comparison with the traditional TOP-ABPP method, superTOP-ABPP cuts down the averaged sample preparation time from 25 to 9 h, and significantly improves the sensitivity and coverage of site-specific cysteinome profiling. The method can also be seamlessly integrated with reductive dimethylation to enable quantitative chemoproteomic analysis with a high accuracy. The simplified and ultrafast superTOP-ABPP will become a valuable tool for site-specific quantitative chemoproteomic studies.

Abstract
The transport of proteins between the different cellular compartments and the cell surface is governed by the secretory pathway. Alternatively, unconventional secretion pathways have been described in mammalian cells, especially through multivesicular bodies and exosomes. These highly sophisticated biological processes rely on a wide variety of signaling and regulatory proteins that act sequentially and in a well-orchestrated manner to ensure the proper delivery of cargoes to their final destination. By modifying numerous proteins involved in the regulation of vesicular trafficking, post-translational modifications (PTMs) participate in the tight regulation of cargo transport in response to extracellular stimuli such as nutrient availability and stress. Among the PTMs, O-GlcNAcylation is the reversible addition of a single N-acetylglucosamine monosaccharide (GlcNAc) on serine or threonine residues of cytosolic, nuclear, and mitochondrial proteins. O-GlcNAc cycling is mediated by a single couple of enzymes: the O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) which catalyzes the addition of O-GlcNAc onto proteins, and the O-GlcNAcase (OGA) which hydrolyses it. Here, we review the current knowledge on the emerging role of O-GlcNAc modification in the regulation of protein trafficking in mammalian cells, in classical and unconventional secretory pathways.

O-GlcNAcylation promotes the cytosolic localization of the m 6A reader YTHDF1 and colorectal cancer tumorigenesis. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:104738. [PMID: 37086786 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/24/2023] Open
Abstract
O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is an emerging post-translation modification that couples metabolism with cellular signal transduction by crosstalk with phosphorylation and ubiquitination to orchestrate various biological processes. The mechanisms underlying the involvement of O-GlcNAc modifications in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulation are not fully characterized. Herein we show that O-GlcNAc modifies the m6A mRNA reader YTHDF1 and fine-tunes its nuclear translocation by the exportin protein Crm1. First we present evidence that YTHDF1 interacts with the sole O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). Second, we verified Ser196/Ser197/Ser198 as the YTHDF1 O-GlcNAcylation sites, as described in numerous chemoproteomic studies. Then we constructed the O-GlcNAc-deficient YTHDF1-S196A/S197F/S198A (AFA) mutant, which significantly attenuated O-GlcNAc signals. Moreover, we revealed that YTHDF1 is a nucleocytoplasmic protein, whose nuclear export is mediated by Crm1. Furthermore, O-GlcNAcylation increases the cytosolic portion of YTHDF1 by enhancing binding with Crm1, thus upregulating downstream target (e.g. c-Myc) expression. Molecular dynamics simulations suggest that O-GlcNAcylation at S197 promotes the binding between the nuclear export signal motif and Crm1 through increasing hydrogen bonding. Mouse xenograft assays further demonstrate that YTHDF1-AFA mutants decreased the colon cancer mass and size via decreasing c-Myc expression. In sum, we found that YTHDF1 is a nucleocytoplasmic protein, whose cytosolic localization is dependent on O-GlcNAc modification. We propose that the OGT-YTHDF1-c-Myc axis underlies colorectal cancer tumorigenesis.

Abstract
O-linked β-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) is a ubiquitous post-translation modification occurring in both animals and plants. Thousands of proteins along with their O-GlcNAcylation sites have been identified in various animal systems, yet the O-GlcNAcylated proteomes in plants remain poorly understood. Here, we report a large-scale profiling of protein O-GlcNAcylation in a site-specific manner in rice. We first established the metabolic glycan labelling (MGL) strategy with N-azidoacetylgalactosamine (GalNAz) in rice seedlings, which enabled incorporation of azides as a bioorthogonal handle into O-GlcNAc. By conjugation of the azide-incorporated O-GlcNAc with alkyne-biotin containing a cleavable linker via click chemistry, O-GlcNAcylated proteins were selectively enriched for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. A total of 1591 unambiguous O-GlcNAcylation sites distributed on 709 O-GlcNAcylated proteins were identified. Additionally, 102 O-GlcNAcylated proteins were identified with their O-GlcNAcylation sites located within serine/threonine-enriched peptides, causing ambiguous site assignment. The identified O-GlcNAcylated proteins are involved in multiple biological processes, such as transcription, translation and plant hormone signalling. Furthermore, we discovered two O-GlcNAc transferases (OsOGTs) in rice. By expressing OsOGTs in Escherichia coli and Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, we confirmed their OGT enzymatic activities and used them to validate the identified rice O-GlcNAcylated proteins. Our dataset provides a valuable resource for studying O-GlcNAc biology in rice, and the MGL method should facilitate the identification of O-GlcNAcylated proteins in various plants.

Abstract
Recent advances in analytical techniques provide the opportunity to quantify even low-abundance glycopeptides derived from complex biological mixtures, allowing for the identification of glycosylation differences between healthy samples and those derived from disease states. Herein, we discuss the sample preparation procedures and the mass spectrometry (MS) strategies that have facilitated glycopeptide quantification, as well as the standards used for glycopeptide quantification. For sample preparation, various glycopeptide enrichment methods are summarized including the columns used for glycopeptide separation in liquid chromatography separation. For MS analysis strategies, MS1 level-based quantification and MS2 level-based quantification are described, either with or without labeling, where we have covered isotope labeling, TMT/iTRAQ labeling, data dependent acquisition, data independent acquisition, multiple reaction monitoring, and parallel reaction monitoring. The strengths and weaknesses of these methods are compared, particularly those associated with the figures of merit that are important for clinical biomarker studies and the pathological and functional studies of glycoproteins in various diseases. Possible future developments for glycopeptide quantification are discussed.

Abstract
The enzymatic modification of protein serine or threonine residues by N-acetylglucosamine, namely O-GlcNAcylation, is a ubiquitous post-translational modification that frequently occurs in the nucleus and cytoplasm. O-GlcNAcylation is dynamically regulated by two enzymes, O-GlcNAc transferase and O-GlcNAcase, and regulates nearly all cellular processes in epigenetics, transcription, translation, cell division, metabolism, signal transduction and stress. Aberrant O-GlcNAcylation has been shown in a variety of diseases, including diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. Deciphering O-GlcNAcylation remains a challenge due to its low abundance, low stoichiometry and extreme lability in most tandem mass spectrometry. Separation or enrichment of O-GlcNAc proteins or peptides from complex mixtures has been of great interest because quantitative analysis of protein O-GlcNAcylation can elucidate their functions and regulatory mechanisms in disease. However, valid and specific analytical methods are still lacking, and efforts are needed to further advance this direction. Here, we provide an overview of recent advances in various analytical methods, focusing on chemical oxidation, affinity of antibodies and lectins, hydrophilic interaction, and enzymatic addition of monosaccharides in conjugation with these methods. O-GlcNAcylation quantification has been described in detail using mass-spectrometric or non-mass-spectrometric techniques. We briefly summarized dysregulated changes in O-GlcNAcylation in disease.

Investigation of in vitro histone H3 glycosylation using H3 tail peptides. Sci Rep 2022; 12:19251.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) on histone tails regulate eukaryotic gene expression by impacting the chromatin structure and by modulating interactions with other cellular proteins. One such PTM has been identified as serine and threonine glycosylation, the introduction of the ß-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) moiety on histone H3 tail at position Ser10 and Thr32. The addition of the ß-O-GlcNAc moiety on serine or threonine residues is facilitated by the O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), and can be removed by the action of O-GlcNAcase (OGA). Conflicting reports on histone tail GlcNAc modification in vivo prompted us to investigate whether synthetic histone H3 tail peptides in conjunction with other PTMs are substrates for OGT and OGA in vitro. Our enzymatic assays with recombinantly expressed human OGT revealed that the unmodified and PTM-modified histone H3 tails are not substrates for OGT at both sites, Ser10 and Thr32. In addition, full length histone H3 was not a substrate for OGT. Conversely, our work demonstrates that synthetic peptides containing the GlcNAc functionality at Ser10 are substrates for recombinantly expressed human OGA, yielding deglycosylated histone H3 peptides. We also show that the catalytic domains of human histone lysine methyltransferases G9a, GLP and SETD7 and histone lysine acetyltransferases PCAF and GCN5 do somewhat tolerate glycosylated H3Ser10 close to lysine residues that undergo methylation and acetylation reactions, respectively. Overall, this work indicates that GlcNAcylation of histone H3 tail peptide in the presence of OGT does not occur in vitro.

Abstract
Chemical proteomics methods, such as activity-based protein profiling, have emerged as powerful and versatile tools to annotate the protein functions and targets of bioactive small molecules in complex biological systems. Incorporated with mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics method, changes of protein activities could be captured and investigated with site-specific precision. However, the semi-stochastic nature of data-dependent acquisition and high cost of the isotopic-labeled reagents make it challenging for chemical biology research to systematically and reproducibly analyze a large number of samples in multidimensional analysis and high-throughput screening. In this chapter, we describe an efficient quantitative chemical proteomic strategy, termed DIA-ABPP, with good reproducibility and high quantification accuracy. Cysteinome profiling was used as a proof-of-concept example with the detailed protocol to demonstrate the workflow of the DIA-ABPP method, including dose-dependent analysis of cysteines that are sensitive to modification by a reactive metabolite, screening of a cysteine-reactive fragment library, and profiling of circadian cysteinome fluctuation. This quantitative chemoproteomic strategy would provide an opportunity for in-depth multi-dimensional chemical proteomic profiling and illuminate the function of bioactive small molecules and proteins in complex biological systems.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation is a post-translational modification which affects approximately 5000 human proteins. Its involvement has been shown in many if not all biological processes. Variations in O-GlcNAcylation levels can be associated with the development of diseases. Deciphering the role of O-GlcNAcylation is an important issue to (i) understand its involvement in pathophysiological development and (ii) develop new therapeutic strategies to modulate O-GlcNAc levels. Over the past 30 years, despite the development of several approaches, knowledge of its role and regulation have remained limited. This review proposes an overview of the currently available tools to study O-GlcNAcylation and identify O-GlcNAcylated proteins. Briefly, we discuss pharmacological modulators, methods to study O-GlcNAcylation levels and approaches for O-GlcNAcylomic profiling. This review aims to contribute to a better understanding of the methods used to study O-GlcNAcylation and to promote efforts in the development of new strategies to explore this promising modification.

Previously, we demonstrated that HPV16 oncogene E6 or E6/E7 transduction increases the abundance of O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT), but OGT substrates affected by this increase are unclear. Here, we focus on the effects of O-GlcNAcylation on HPV-positive HNSCCs. We found that upon HPV infection, Unc-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1), an autophagy-initiating kinase, is hyper-O-GlcNAcylated, stabilized, and linked with autophagy elevation. Through mass spectrometry, we identified that ULK1 is O-GlcNAcylated at Ser409, which is distinct from the previously reported Thr635/Thr754 sites. It has been demonstrated that PKCα mediates phosphorylation of ULK1 at Ser423, which attenuates its stability by shunting ULK1 to the chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) pathway. Using biochemical assays, we demonstrate that ULK1 Ser409Ser410 O-GlcNAcylation antagonizes its phosphorylation at Ser423. Moreover, mutations of Ser409A and its neighboring site Ser410A (2A) render ULK1 less stable by promoting interaction with the CMA chaperone HSC70 (heat shock cognate 70 kDa protein). Furthermore, ULK1-2A mutants attenuate the association of ULK1 with STX17, which is vital for the fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database reveals that ULK1 is upregulated in HPV-positive HNSCCs, and its level positively correlates with HNSCC patient survival. Overall, our work demonstrates that O-GlcNAcylation of ULK1 is altered in response to environmental changes. O-GlcNAcylation of ULK1 at Ser409 and perhaps Ser410 stabilizes ULK1, which might underlie the molecular mechanism of HPV-positive HNSCC patient survival.

Abstract
Chemoproteomics has emerged as a key technology to expand the functional space in complex proteomes for probing fundamental biology and for discovering new small-molecule-based therapies. Here we report a modification-centric computational tool termed pChem to provide a streamlined pipeline for unbiased performance assessment of chemoproteomic probes. The pipeline starts with an experimental setting for isotopically coding probe-derived modifications that can be automatically recognized by pChem, with masses accurately calculated and sites precisely localized. pChem exports on-demand reports by scoring the profiling efficiency, modification homogeneity and proteome-wide residue selectivity of a tested probe. The performance and robustness of pChem were benchmarked by applying it to eighteen bioorthogonal probes. These analyses reveal that the formation of unexpected probe-derived modifications can be driven by endogenous reactive metabolites (for example, bioactive aldehydes and glutathione). pChem is a powerful and user-friendly tool that aims to facilitate the development of probes for the ever-growing field of chemoproteomics.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) occur during or after protein biosynthesis and increase the functional diversity of proteome. They comprise phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, glycosylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation (among many other modifications), and influence all aspects of cell biology. Mass-spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is the most powerful approach for PTM analysis. Despite this, it is challenging due to low abundance and labile nature of many PTMs. Hence, enrichment of modified peptides is required for MS analysis. This review provides an overview of most common PTMs and a discussion of current enrichment methods for MS-based proteomics analysis. The traditional affinity strategies, including immunoenrichment, chromatography and protein pull-down, are outlined together with their strengths and shortcomings. Moreover, a special attention is paid to chemical enrichment strategies, such as capture by chemoselective probes, metabolic and chemoenzymatic labelling, which are discussed with an emphasis on their recent progress. Finally, the challenges and future trends in the field are discussed.

Abstract
To selectively enrich O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) peptides in their original form from complex samples, we report the first reversible chemoenzymatic labeling approach for proteomic analysis. In this strategy, the O-GlcNAc moieties are ligated with long N-glycans using an Endo-M mutant, which enables the enrichment of the labeled glycopeptides by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC). The attached glycans on the enriched glycopeptides are removed by wild-type Endo-M/S to restore the O-GlcNAc moiety. Compared with classic chemoenzymatic labeling, this approach enables the tag-free identification, and eliminates the interference of bulky tags in glycopeptide detection. This approach presents a unique avenue for the proteome-wide analysis of protein O-GlcNAcylation to promote its mechanism research.

Abstract
Metabolic labeling of glycans with clickable unnatural sugars has enabled glycan analysis in multicellular systems. However, cell-type-specific labeling of glycans in vivo remains challenging. Here we develop genetically encoded metabolic glycan labeling (GeMGL), a cell-type-specific strategy based on a bump-and-hole pair of an unnatural sugar and its matching engineered enzyme. N-pentynylacetylglucosamine (GlcNAl) serves as a bumped analog of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) that is specifically incorporated into glycans of cells expressing a UDP-GlcNAc pyrophosphorylase mutant, AGX2F383G. GeMGL with the 1,3-di-O-propionylated GlcNAl (1,3-Pr2GlcNAl) and AGX2F383G pair was demonstrated in cell cocultures, and used for specific labeling of glycans in mouse xenograft tumors. By generating a transgenic mouse line with AGX2F383G expressed under a cardiomyocyte-specific promoter, we performed specific imaging of cardiomyocyte glycans in the heart and identified 582 cardiomyocyte O-GlcNAcylated proteins with no interference from other cardiac cell types. GeMGL will facilitate cell-type-specific glycan imaging and glycoproteomics in various tissues and disease models.

Abstract
O-linked-β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) glycosylation is a ubiquitous protein post-translational modification of the emerging importance in metazoans. Of the thousands of O-GlcNAcylated proteins identified, many carry multiple modification sites with varied stoichiometry. To better match the scale of O-GlcNAc sites and their dynamic nature, we herein report an optimized strategy, termed isotopic photocleavable tagging for O-GlcNAc profiling (isoPTOP), which enables quantitative and site-specific profiling of O-GlcNAcylation with excellent specificity and sensitivity. In HeLa cells, ∼1500 O-GlcNAcylation sites were identified with the optimized procedures, which led to quantification of ∼1000 O-GlcNAcylation sites with isoPTOP. Furthermore, we apply isoPTOP to probe the O-GlcNAcylation dynamics in a pair of colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines, SW480 and SW620 cells, which represent primary carcinoma and metastatic cells, representatively. The stoichiometric differences of 625 O-GlcNAcylation sites are quantified. Of these quantified sites, many occur on important regulators involved in tumor progression and metastasis. Our results provide a valuable database for understanding the functional role of O-GlcNAc in CRC. IsoPTOP should be applicable for investigating O-GlcNAcylation dynamics in various pathophysiological processes.

Abstract
Post-translational modification with O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), a process referred to as O-GlcNAcylation, occurs on a vast variety of proteins. Mounting evidence in the past several decades has clearly demonstrated that O-GlcNAcylation is a unique and ubiquitous modification. Reminiscent of a code, protein O-GlcNAcylation functions as a crucial regulator of nearly all cellular processes studied. The primary aim of this review is to summarize the developments in our understanding of myriad protein substrates modified by O-GlcNAcylation from a systems perspective. Specifically, we provide a comprehensive survey of O-GlcNAcylation in multiple species studied, including eukaryotes (e.g., protists, fungi, plants, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, murine, and human), prokaryotes, and some viruses. We evaluate features (e.g., structural properties and sequence motifs) of O-GlcNAc modification on proteins across species. Given that O-GlcNAcylation functions in a species-, tissue-/cell-, protein-, and site-specific manner, we discuss the functional roles of O-GlcNAcylation on human proteins. We focus particularly on several classes of relatively well-characterized human proteins (including transcription factors, protein kinases, protein phosphatases, and E3 ubiquitin-ligases), with representative O-GlcNAc site-specific functions presented. We hope the systems view of the great endeavor in the past 35 years will help demystify the O-GlcNAc code and lead to more fascinating studies in the years to come.

Abstract
Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) has emerged as a powerful and versatile tool to enable annotation of protein functions and discovery of targets of bioactive ligands in complex biological systems. It utilizes chemical probes to covalently label functional sites in proteins so that they can be enriched for mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics analysis. However, the semistochastic nature of data-dependent acquisition and high cost associated with isotopically encoded quantification reagents compromise the power of ABPP in multidimensional analysis and high-throughput screening, when a large number of samples need to be quantified in parallel. Here, we combine the data-independent acquisition (DIA) MS with ABPP to develop an efficient label-free quantitative chemical proteomic method, DIA-ABPP, with good reproducibility and high accuracy for high-throughput quantification. We demonstrated the power of DIA-ABPP for comprehensive profiling of functional cysteineome in three distinct applications, including dose-dependent quantification of cysteines' sensitivity toward a reactive metabolite, screening of ligandable cysteines with a covalent fragment library, and profiling of cysteinome fluctuation in circadian clock cycles. DIA-ABPP will open new opportunities for in-depth and multidimensional profiling of functional proteomes and interactions with bioactive small molecules in complex biological systems.

Abstract
O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine modification (O-GlcNAcylation) at proteins with low-abundance expression level and species diversity, shows important roles in plenty of biological processes. O-GlcNAcylations with abnormal expression levels are associated with many diseases. Systematically profiling of O-GlcNAcylation at qualitative or quantitative level is vital for their function understanding. Recently, the combination of affinity enrichment, metabolic labeling or chemical tagging with mass spectrometry (MS) have made significant contributions to structure-function mechanism elucidating of O-GlcNAcylations in organisms. Herein, this review provides a comprehensive update of MS-based methodologies for quali-quantitative characterization of O-GlcNAcylation.

Abstract
Protein O-GlcNAcylation has been implicated in a broad range of cellular processes, while the functional research is still lagging behind other post-translational modification (PTMs), as a result of the low stoichiometry and limited enrichment efficiency. Herein, a strategy, named CHO-GlcNAc, was developed for O-GlcNAc glycopeptide enrichment. In this strategy, the O-GlcNAc glycopeptides were first enzymatically labeled with a Gal moiety, followed by chemical oxidation to efficiently introduce the aldehyde groups. The labeled O-GlcNAc glycopeptides could be efficiently enriched based on the equilibrium between the hydrazine and oxime bonds. Good specificity of the glycopeptide enrichment was observed from the mixtures of glycopeptide and non-glycopeptides using the CHO-GlcNAc method. Then, it was applied to analyze O-GlcNAcylation in the nucleus of HeLa cells, and 829 potential O-GlcNAcylation sites on 274 glycoproteins were identified, including the two readers of m6A (YTHDF1 and YTHDF3), which could provide clues for the mechanism of crosstalk between O-GlcNAcylation and other PTMs of proteins and RNA. Thus, this method could be a versatile tool for the proteomic analysis of O-GlcNAcylation.

Abstract
Pituitary adenomas have a staggering 16.7% lifetime prevalence and can be devastating in many patients because of profound endocrine and neurologic dysfunction. To date, no clear genomic or epigenomic markers correlate with their onset or severity. Herein, we investigate the impact of the O-GlcNAc posttranslational modification in their etiology. Found in more than 7000 human proteins to date, O-GlcNAcylation dynamically regulates proteins in critical signaling pathways, and its deregulation is involved in cancer progression and endocrine diseases such as diabetes. In this study, we demonstrated that O-GlcNAc enzymes were upregulated, particularly in aggressive adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-secreting tumors, suggesting a role for O-GlcNAcylation in pituitary adenoma etiology. In addition to the demonstration that O-GlcNAcylation was essential for their proliferation, we showed that the endocrine function of pituitary adenoma is also dependent on O-GlcNAcylation. In corticotropic tumors, hypersecretion of the proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived hormone ACTH leads to Cushing disease, materialized by severe endocrine disruption and increased mortality. We demonstrated that Pomc messenger RNA is stabilized in an O-GlcNAc-dependent manner in response to corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH). By affecting Pomc mRNA splicing and stability, O-GlcNAcylation contributes to this new mechanism of fast hormonal response in corticotropes. Thus, this study stresses the essential role of O-GlcNAcylation in ACTH-secreting adenomas' pathophysiology, including cellular proliferation and hypersecretion.

Abstract
Mammalian cell cycle is a central process for tissue growth and maintenance. Protein O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification has been found to occur on several important cell cycle regulators. However, the O-GlcNAcylated proteome has not been extensively profiled during cell cycle progression. Herein, we report a quantitative profiling of protein O-GlcNAcylation sites in cell proliferation, by using an O-GlcNAc chemoproteomic strategy. In HeLa cells, a total of 902, 439, and 872 high-confidence O-GlcNAcylation sites distributed on 414, 265, and 425 proteins are identified in the interphase, early mitosis, and mitotic exit stages, respectively. The identified O-GlcNAcylation events occur on a variety of important regulators, which are involved in the processes of cell division, DNA repair, and cell death. Furthermore, we show that O-GlcNAcylation is dynamically regulated in a cell cycle stage-dependent manner. Our results provide a valuable resource for investigating the functional roles of O-GlcNAc in the mammalian cell cycle.

Abstract
O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAcylation) is a ubiquitous post-translational modification of proteins that is essential for cell function. Perturbation of O-GlcNAcylation leads to altered cell-cycle progression and DNA damage response. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we develop a highly sensitive one-step enzymatic strategy for capture and profiling O-GlcNAcylated proteins in cells. Using this strategy, we discover that flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1), an essential enzyme in DNA synthesis, is a novel substrate for O-GlcNAcylation. FEN1 O-GlcNAcylation is dynamically regulated during the cell cycle. O-GlcNAcylation at the serine 352 of FEN1 disrupts its interaction with Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) at the replication foci, and leads to altered cell cycle, defects in DNA replication, accumulation of DNA damage, and enhanced sensitivity to DNA damage agents. Thus, our study provides a sensitive method for profiling O-GlcNAcylated proteins, and reveals an unknown mechanism of O-GlcNAcylation in regulating cell cycle progression and DNA damage response.

Abstract
As one of the major types of biomacromolecules in the cell, glycans play essential functional roles in various biological processes. Compared with proteins and nucleic acids, the analysis of glycans in situ has been more challenging. Herein we review recent advances in the development of methods and strategies for labeling, imaging, and profiling of glycans in cells and in vivo. Cellular glycans can be labeled by affinity-based probes, including lectin and antibody conjugates, direct chemical modification, metabolic glycan labeling, and chemoenzymatic labeling. These methods have been applied to label glycans with fluorophores, which enables the visualization and tracking of glycans in cells, tissues, and living organisms. Alternatively, labeling glycans with affinity tags has enabled the enrichment of glycoproteins for glycoproteomic profiling. Built on the glycan labeling methods, strategies enabling cell-selective and tissue-specific glycan labeling and protein-specific glycan imaging have been developed. With these methods and strategies, researchers are now better poised than ever to dissect the biological function of glycans in physiological or pathological contexts.

Abstract
The modification on proteins with O-linked N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine (O-GlcNAcylation) is essential for normal cell physiology. Dysregulation of O-GlcNAcylation leads to many human diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, the functional role of O-GlcNAcylation in different physiological states has been elucidated due to the booming detection technologies. Chemical approaches for the enrichment of O-GlcNAcylated proteins combined with mass spectrometry-based proteomics enable the profiling of protein O-GlcNAcylation in a system-wide level. In this review, we summarize recent progresses on the enrichment and proteomic profiling of protein O-GlcNAcylation.

Abstract
RNA-protein interactions play important roles in almost every step of the lifetime of RNAs, such as RNA splicing, transporting, localization, translation and degradation. Post-translational modifications, such as O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation, and their "cross-talk" (OPCT) are essential to the activity and function regulation of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). However, due to the extremely low abundance of O-GlcNAcylation and the lack of RBP-targeted enrichment strategies, large-scale simultaneous profiling of O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation on RBPs is still a challenging task. In the present study, we developed a tandem enrichment strategy combining metabolic labeling-based RNA tagging for selective purification of RBPs and HILIC-based enrichment for simultaneous O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation profiling. Benefiting from the sequence-independent RNA tagging by ethynyluridine (EU) labeling, 1115 RBPs binding to different types of RNAs were successfully enriched and identified by quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Further HILIC enrichment on the tryptic-digested RBPs and MS analysis led to the first large-scale identification of O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation in the RNA-binding proteome, with 461 O-GlcNAc peptides corresponding to 300 RBPs and 671 phosphopeptides corresponding to 389 RBPs. Interestingly, ∼25% RBPs modified by two PTMs were found to be related to multiple metabolism pathways. This strategy has the advantage of high compatibility with MS and provides peptide-level evidence for the identification of O-GlcNAcylated RBPs. We expect it will support simultaneous mapping of O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation on RBPs and facilitate further elucidation of the crucial roles of OPCT in the function regulation of RBPs.

Abstract
The use of photo-affinity reagents for the mapping of noncovalent small molecule-protein interactions has become widespread. Recently, several 'fully-functionalized' (FF) chemical tags have been developed wherein a photoactivatable capture group, an enrichment handle, and a functional group for synthetic conjugation to a molecule of interest are integrated into a single modular tag. Diazirine-based FF tags in particular are increasingly employed in chemical proteomic investigations; however, despite routine usage, their relative utility has not been established. Here, we systematically evaluate several diazirine-containing FF tags, including a terminal diazirine analog developed herein, for chemical proteomic investigations. Specifically, we compared the general reactivity of five diazirine tags and assessed their impact on the profiles of various small molecules, including fragments and known inhibitors revealing that such tags can have profound effects on the proteomic profiles of chemical probes. Our findings should be informative for chemical probe design, photo-affinity reagent development, and chemical proteomic investigations.

Abstract
Growing implications of glycosylation in physiological occurrences and human disease have prompted intensive focus on revealing glycomic perturbations through absolute and relative quantification. Empowered by seminal methodologies and increasing capacity for detection, identification, and characterization, the past decade has provided a significant increase in the number of suitable strategies for glycan and glycopeptide quantification. Mass-spectrometry-based strategies for glycomic quantitation have grown to include metabolic incorporation of stable isotopes, deposition of mass difference and mass defect isotopic labels, and isobaric chemical labeling, providing researchers with ample tools for accurate and robust quantitation. Beyond this, workflows have been designed to harness instrument capability for label-free quantification, and numerous software packages have been developed to facilitate reliable spectrum scoring. In this review, we present and highlight the most recent advances in chemical labeling and associated techniques for glycan and glycopeptide quantification.

Abstract
The essential human O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) is the sole enzyme responsible for modifying thousands of intracellular proteins with the monosaccharide O-GlcNAc. This unique modification plays crucial roles in human health and disease, but the substrate recognition of OGT remains poorly understood. Intriguingly, the only human enzyme reported to remove this modification, O-GlcNAcase (OGA), is O-GlcNAc modified. Here, we exploited a GlcNAc electrophilic probe (GEP1A) to rapidly screen OGT mutants in a fluorescence assay that can discriminate between altered OGT-sugar and -protein substrate binding to help elucidate the binding mode of OGT toward OGA protein substrate. Since OGT tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain plays a key role in OGT-OGA binding, we screened 30 OGT TPR mutants, which revealed 15 "ladder like" asparagine or aspartate residues spanning TPRs 3-7 and 10-13.5 that affect OGA O-GlcNAcylation. By applying a truncated OGA construct, we found that OGA's N-terminal region or pseudo histone acetyltransferase domain is not required for its O-GlcNAcylation, suggesting OGT functionally interacts with OGA through its catalytic and/or stalk domains. This work represents the first effort to systemically investigate each OGT TPR and our findings will facilitate the development of new strategies to investigate the role of substrate-specific O-GlcNAcylation.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation fundamentally impacts biological processes. Nontemplated biosynthesis introduces unparalleled complexity into glycans that needs tools to understand their roles in physiology. The era of quantitative biology is a great opportunity to unravel these roles, especially by mass spectrometry glycoproteomics. However, with high sensitivity come stringent requirements on tool specificity. Bioorthogonal metabolic labeling reagents have been fundamental to studying the cell surface glycoproteome but typically enter a range of different glycans and are thus of limited specificity. Here, we discuss the generation of metabolic 'precision tools' to study particular subtypes of the glycome. A chemical biology tactic termed bump-and-hole engineering generates mutant glycosyltransferases that specifically accommodate bioorthogonal monosaccharides as an enabling technique of glycobiology. We review the groundbreaking discoveries that have led to applying the tactic in the living cell and the implications in the context of current developments in mass spectrometry glycoproteomics.

Abstract
Facilitated by advances in the separation sciences, mass spectrometry and informatics, glycoproteomics, the analysis of intact glycopeptides at scale, has recently matured enabling new insights into the complex glycoproteome. While diverse quantitative glycoproteomics strategies capable of mapping monosaccharide compositions of N- and O-linked glycans to discrete sites of proteins within complex biological mixtures with considerable sensitivity, quantitative accuracy and coverage have become available, developments supporting the advancement of structure-focused glycoproteomics, a recognised frontier in the field, have emerged. Technologies capable of providing site-specific information of the glycan fine structures in a glycoproteome-wide context are indeed necessary to address many pending questions in glycobiology. In this review, we firstly survey the latest glycoproteomics studies published in 2018–2020, their approaches and their findings, and then summarise important technological innovations in structure-focused glycoproteomics. Our review illustrates that while the O-glycoproteome remains comparably under-explored despite the emergence of new O-glycan-selective mucinases and other innovative tools aiding O-glycoproteome profiling, quantitative glycoproteomics is increasingly used to profile the N-glycoproteome to tackle diverse biological questions. Excitingly, new strategies compatible with structure-focused glycoproteomics including novel chemoenzymatic labelling, enrichment, separation, and mass spectrometry-based detection methods are rapidly emerging revealing glycan fine structural details including bisecting GlcNAcylation, core and antenna fucosylation, and sialyl-linkage information with protein site resolution. Glycoproteomics has clearly become a mainstay within the glycosciences that continues to reach a broader community. It transpires that structure-focused glycoproteomics holds a considerable potential to aid our understanding of systems glycobiology and unlock secrets of the glycoproteome in the immediate future.

Abstract
O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a post-translational modification (i.e., O-GlcNAcylation) on the serine/threonine residues of proteins. As a unique intracellular monosaccharide modification, protein O-GlcNAcylation plays important roles in almost all biochemical processes examined. Aberrant O-GlcNAcylation underlies the etiologies of a number of chronic diseases. With the tremendous improvement of techniques, thousands of proteins along with their O-GlcNAc sites have been reported. However, until now, there are few databases dedicated to accommodate the rapid accumulation of such information. Thus, O-GlcNAcAtlas is created to integrate all experimentally identified O-GlcNAc sites and proteins. O-GlcNAcAtlas consists of two datasets (Dataset-I and Dataset-II, for unambiguously identified sites and ambiguously identified sites, respectively), representing a total number of 4571 O-GlcNAc modified proteins from all species studied from 1984 to 31 Dec 2019. For each protein, comprehensive information (including species, sample type, gene symbol, modified peptides and/or modification sites, site mapping methods and literature references) is provided. To solve the heterogeneity among the data collected from different sources, the sequence identity of these reported O-GlcNAc peptides are mapped to the UniProtKB protein entries. To our knowledge, O-GlcNAcAtlas is a highly comprehensive and rigorously curated database encapsulating all O-GlcNAc sites and proteins identified in the past 35 years. We expect that O-GlcNAcAtlas will be a useful resource to facilitate O-GlcNAc studies and computational analyses of protein O-GlcNAcylation. The public version of the web interface to the O-GlcNAcAtlas can be found at http://oglcnac.org/.

Abstract
Protein O-GlcNAcylation refers to the covalent binding of a single N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to the serine or threonine residue. This modification primarily occurs on proteins in the nucleus and the cytosol, and plays critical roles in many cellular events, including regulation of gene expression and signal transduction. Aberrant protein O-GlcNAcylation is directly related to human diseases such as cancers, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. In the past decades, considerable progress has been made for global and site-specific analysis of O-GlcNAcylation in complex biological samples using mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. In this review, we summarized previous efforts on comprehensive investigation of protein O-GlcNAcylation by MS. Specifically, the review is focused on methods for enriching and site-specifically mapping O-GlcNAcylated peptides, and applications for quantifying protein O-GlcNAcylation in different biological systems. As O-GlcNAcylation is an important protein modification for cell survival, effective methods are essential for advancing our understanding of glycoprotein functions and cellular events.

Abstract
The dynamic cycling of N-acetylglucosamine, termed as O-GlcNAcylation, is a post-translational modification of proteins and is involved in the regulation of fundamental cellular processes. It is controlled by two essential enzymes, O-GlcNAc transferase and O-GlcNAcase. O-GlcNAcylation serves as a modulator in placental tissue; furthermore, increased levels of protein O-GlcNAcylation have been observed in women with hyperglycemia during pregnancy, which may affect the short-and long-term development of offspring. In this review, we focus on the impact of O-GlcNAcylation on placental functions in hyperglycemia-associated pregnancies. We discuss the following topics: effect of O-GlcNAcylation on placental development and its association with hyperglycemia; maternal-fetal nutrition transport, particularly glucose transport, via the mammalian target of rapamycin and AMP-activated protein kinase pathways; and the two-sided regulatory effect of O-GlcNAcylation on inflammation. As O-GlcNAcylation in the placental tissues of pregnant women with hyperglycemia influences near- and long-term development of offspring, research in this field has significant therapeutic relevance.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) diversify the molecular structures of proteins and play essential roles in regulating their functions. Abnormal PTM status has been linked to a variety of developmental disorders and human diseases, highlighting the importance of studying PTMs in understanding physiological processes and discovering novel nodes and links with therapeutic intervention potential. Classical biochemical methods are suitable for studying PTMs on individual proteins; however, global profiling of PTMs in proteomes remains a challenging task. In this feature article, we start with a brief review of the traditional affinity-based strategies and shift the emphasis to summarizing recent progress in the development and application of chemical and computational proteomic strategies to delineate the global landscapes of functional PTMs. Finally, we discuss current challenges in PTM detection and provide future perspectives on how the field can be further advanced.

Abstract
Many intracellular proteins are modified by N-acetylglucosamine, a posttranslational modification termed O-GlcNAc. This modification is found on serine and threonine side-chains and has the potential to regulate signaling pathways through interplay with phosphorylation. Here, we discover and characterize one such example. We find that O-GlcNAc levels control the sensitivity of fibroblasts to actin contraction induced by the signaling lipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), culminating in the phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC) and cellular contraction. Specifically, O-GlcNAc modification of the phosphatase subunit MYPT1 inhibits this pathway by blocking MYPT1 phosphorylation, maintaining its activity and causing the dephosphorylation of MLC. Finally, we demonstrate that O-GlcNAc levels alter the sensitivity of primary human dermal fibroblasts in a collagen-matrix model of wound healing. Our findings have important implications for the role of O-GlcNAc in fibroblast motility and differentiation, particularly in diabetic wound healing.
