Abstract: | In order to understand the importance of the cytosolic and nuclear-specific O-linked N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAc) on cell cycle regulation, we recently reported that inhibition of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) delayed or blocked Xenopus laevis oocyte germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). Here, we show that increased levels of the long OGT isoform (ncOGT) accelerate X. laevis oocyte GVBD. A N-terminally truncated isoform (sOGT) with a similar in vitro catalytic activity towards a synthetic CKII-derived peptide had no effect, illustrating the important role played by the N-terminal tetratrico-peptide repeats. ncOGT microinjection in the oocytes increases both the speed and extent of O-GlcNAc addition, leads to a quicker activation of the MPF and MAPK pathways and finally results in a faster GVBD. Microinjection of anti-OGT antibodies leads to a delay of the GVBD kinetics. Our results hence demonstrate that OGT is a key molecule for the timely progression of the cell cycle. |
