“…The sugar nucleotide UDP-GlcNAc serves as a donor for O -GlcNAc addition to nucleocytoplasmic proteins whereas OGA removes the O -GlcNAc group from proteins (Mailleux et al, 2016 ). Numerous studies have demonstrated that O -GlcNAcylation is involved in many fundamental cellular processes, including gene transcription (Ha and Lim, 2015 ), cell signaling (Cassey, 1995 ), and apoptosis (Butkinaree et al, 2008 ). More than those, many transcriptional factors, tumor suppressors, oncogenes, and cell receptors have been found to be tightly associated with O -GlcNAcylation in tumorigenesis (Bond and Hanover, 2015 ; Charoensuksai et al, 2015 ).…”
