DESCRIPTION

Also known as OGT1_HUMAN, OGT. Catalyzes the transfer of a single N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-GlcNAc to a serine or threonine residue in cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins resulting in their modification with a beta-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) (PubMed:26678539, PubMed:23103939, PubMed:21240259, PubMed:21285374, PubMed:15361863). Glycosylates a large and diverse number of proteins including histone H2B, AKT1, ATG4B, EZH2, PFKL, KMT2E/MLL5, MAPT/TAU and HCFC1 (PubMed:19451179, PubMed:20200153, PubMed:21285374, PubMed:22923583, PubMed:23353889, PubMed:24474760, PubMed:26678539, PubMed:27527864). Can regulate their cellular processes via cross-talk between glycosylation and phosphorylation or by affecting proteolytic processing (PubMed:21285374). Probably by glycosylating KMT2E/MLL5, stabilizes KMT2E/MLL5 by preventing its ubiquitination (PubMed:26678539). Involved in insulin resistance in muscle and adipocyte cells via glycosylating insulin signaling components and inhibiting the 'Thr-308' phosphorylation of AKT1, enhancing IRS1 phosphorylation and attenuating insulin signaling (By similarity). Involved in glycolysis regulation by mediating glycosylation of 6-phosphofructokinase PFKL, inhibiting its activity (PubMed:22923583). Component of a THAP1/THAP3-HCFC1-OGT complex that is required for the regulation of the transcriptional activity of RRM1. Plays a key role in chromatin structure by mediating O-GlcNAcylation of 'Ser-112' of histone H2B: recruited to CpG-rich transcription start sites of active genes via its interaction with TET proteins (TET1, TET2 or TET3) (PubMed:22121020, PubMed:23353889). As part of the NSL complex indirectly involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 on several lysine residues (PubMed:20018852). O-GlcNAcylation of 'Ser-75' of EZH2 increases its stability, and facilitating the formation of H3K27me3 by the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex (PubMed:24474760). Regulates circadian oscillation of the clock genes and glucose homeostasis in the liver. Stabilizes clock proteins BMAL1 and CLOCK through O-glycosylation, which prevents their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Promotes the CLOCK-BMAL1-mediated transcription of genes in the negative loop of the circadian clock such as PER1/2 and CRY1/2 (PubMed:12150998, PubMed:19451179, PubMed:20018868, PubMed:20200153, PubMed:21285374, PubMed:15361863). O-glycosylates HCFC1 and regulates its proteolytic processing and transcriptional activity (PubMed:21285374, PubMed:28584052, PubMed:28302723). Regulates mitochondrial motility in neurons by mediating glycosylation of TRAK1 (By similarity). Glycosylates HOXA1 (By similarity). O-glycosylates FNIP1 (PubMed:30699359). Promotes autophagy by mediating O-glycosylation of ATG4B (PubMed:27527864)., The mitochondrial isoform (mOGT) is cytotoxic and triggers apoptosis in several cell types including INS1, an insulinoma cell line. Monomer; may exist in different oligomerization states in cells (PubMed:21240259). Homotrimer, oligomerizes via TPR repeats 6 and 7. Trimerization is not necessary for activity in vitro, however it increases affinity for UDP-GlcNAc (By similarity). Component of a THAP1/THAP3-HCFC1-OGT complex (PubMed:20200153). Component of the NSL complex at least composed of MOF/KAT8, KANSL1, KANSL2, KANSL3, MCRS1, PHF20, OGT1/OGT, WDR5 and HCFC1 (PubMed:20018852). Interacts directly with HCFC1; the interaction O-glycosylates HCFC1, regulates its proteolytic processing and transcriptional activity and, in turn, stabilizes OGT in the nucleus (PubMed:12670868, PubMed:20200153, PubMed:21285374, PubMed:23353889). Interacts (via TPRs 1-6) with SIN3A; the interaction mediates transcriptional repression in parallel with histone deacetylase (PubMed:12150998). Interacts (via TPR 5-6) with TET1, TET2 and TET3 (PubMed:23353889, PubMed:23222540). Interacts (via TPR repeats 6 and 7) with ATXN10 (By similarity). Interacts with histone H2B (PubMed:22121020). Interacts with BMAL1. Found in a complex composed of at least SINHCAF, SIN3A, HDAC1, SAP30, RBBP4, OGT and TET1. Interacts with SINHCAF (By similarity). Component of a complex composed of KMT2E/MLL5 (isoform 3), OGT (isoform 1) and USP7; the complex stabilizes KMT2E/MLL5, preventing KMT2E/MLL5 ubiquitination and proteosomal-mediated degradation (PubMed:26678539). Isoform 1 interacts (via TRP repeats) with isoform 3 KMT2E/MLL5 (via N-terminus) (PubMed:26678539, PubMed:23629655). Isoform 1 interacts with USP7 (PubMed:26678539). Interacts with TRAK1; this interaction is not required for glycosylation of TRAK1 by this protein. Found in a complex with KIF5B, RHOT1, RHOT2 and TRAK1 (PubMed:24995978). Interacts (via TPR repeats domain) with HOXA1; the interaction takes place mainly in the nucleus (By similarity). Interacts with NSD2 (By similarity).
