ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We have previously reported that ß-catenin is post-translationally modified with a single O-linked attachment of ß-N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc). We showed that O-GlcNAc regulated ß-catenin's subcellular localization and transcriptional activity.OBJECTIVE:
The objectives of this investigation were to identify the putative O-GlcNAc sites of ß-catenin and the relevance of identified sites in the regulation of ß-catenin's localization and transcriptional activity.METHOD:
Missense mutations were introduced to potential O-GlcNAc sites of pEGFP-C2-N-Terminal- or pEGFP-C2-Wild Type-ß-catenin by site-directed mutagenesis. We determined the levels of O-GlcNAc-ß-catenin, subcellular localization, interaction with binding partners and transcriptional activity of the various constructs.RESULTS:
Serine 23 of ß-catenin was determined as a site for O-GlcNAc modification which regulated its subcellular distribution, its interactions with cellular partners and consequently its transcriptional activity.SIGNIFICANCE:
O-GlcNAcylation of Serine 23 is a novel regulatory modification for ß-catenin's subcellular localization and transcriptional activity. This study is the first report to characterize site specific regulation of ß-catenin by the O-GlcNAc modification.Palabras clave
