The dynamic cycling of N-acetylglucosamine (termed O-GlcNAcylation) on serine or
threonine residues of nuclear or cytoplasmic proteins serves as a nutrient
sensor, both independently and also via its interplay with other
post-translational modifications, to regulate signaling, transcription, and
cellular physiology. Emerging evidence suggests that dysregulation of this
ubiquitous post-translational modification contributes to the etiology of some
the most important human chronic diseases.
