Abstract:
Highlights? The hexosamine/O-GlcNAc pathway regulates cellular clock oscillation ? OGT promotes expression of BMAL1/CLOCK target genes in cultured cells and liver ? Rhythmic O-GlcNAcylation stabilizes BMAL1 and CLOCK by inhibiting their ubiquitination ? Hepatic manipulation of OGT perturbs the diurnal rhythm of glucose homeostasis
