The O-GlcNAc modification is a quite different fro m conventional glycosylation in two aspects. First, it occurs in cytoplasm and nucleus and does not in endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus. Second, this is a single sugar modification and is not a long chain oligosaccharide modification. O-GlcNAc is covalently modified on hydroxyl group of serine and threonine and usually this modification affects or competes with phosphorylation. Thus this modification might modulate many cellular events due to inhibiting or sometimes accelerating phosphorylation. O-GlcNAc transferase and O-GlcNAcase are two important enzymes for modifying proteins with O-GlcNAc. More than 800 proteins have been identified as O-GlcNAcylated proteins. Today I am going to summarize results obtained last 10 years and discuss about future aspects in O-GlcNAc biology.
