Background
The addition of the monosaccharide beta -N-acetyl-D-glucosamine to serine and threonine residues in proteins (O‑GlcNAc glycosylation) is a dynamic, intracellular, post‑translational modification that shares features with phosphorylation (1). Almost all major classes of intracellular proteins are modified with O‑GlcNAc glycosylation. O‑GlcNAc is known to regulate gene transcription, act as an energy sensor to desensitize insulin response, and coordinate phosphorylation to control protein activity (2, 3, 4, 5). In humans, O‑GlcNAc is introduced by a single O‑linked N‑acetylglucosamine transferase, OGT, and removed by a single glycosidase, OGA. Both OGT and OGA are cytosolic. Enzymes with high sequence homology to human OGA have been found in human pathogens and symbionts (6, 7, 8), where these enzymes are proposed to metabolize O‑GlcNAc in human proteins. OGA from the human gut symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and its human counterpart are very similar in structure and function, and both enzymes operate via an unusual 'substrate-assisted' catalytic mechanism (8, 9). Recombinant B. thetaiotaomicron OGA can be used as an enzymatic tool to investigate O‑GlcNAc glycosylation.
