Structural insights into the substrate binding adaptability and specificity of human O-GlcNAcase

Abstract: The O-linked β-N-acetyl glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification dynamically regulates the functions of numerous proteins. A single human enzyme O-linked β-N-acetyl glucosaminase (O-GlcNAcase or OGA) hydrolyzes this modification. To date, it remains largely unknown how OGA recognizes various substrates. Here we report the structures of OGA in complex with each of four distinct glycopeptide substrates that contain a single O-GlcNAc modification on a serine or threonine residue. Intriguingly, these glycopeptides bind… Show more

“…Similar to OGT, the single OGA gene can encode two isoforms, namely a short isoform which appears inactive and the full length isoform [65]. Interestingly, OGA seems to form dimers and the intersubunit interactions differ between catalytically active and compromised OGA variants, indicating that the dimerization of OGA could also influence the binding of substrates and affect OGA activity [68][69][70][71]. In addition, full-length OGA contains a caspase-3 cleavage site, although cleavage at this site does not reduce the enzymatic activity of OGA [67,68].…”

“…Whereas less is known about how OGA is targeted to it substrates, several recent studies have defined its detailed structure. These studies have also elucidated the molecular mechanisms of the enzyme, and they have led to the development of highly specific and potent OGA inhibitors that work in living cells (43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53).…”

“…Intriguingly, a potential substrate‐binding cleft created by the dimerized OGA protein was discovered. In support of this, the structures of OGA in complex with each of five distinct glycopeptides demonstrate that all the peptide substrates are bound in the substrate‐binding cleft . The interactions of GlcNAc in the OGA catalytic pocket are highly conserved, whereas peptides are bound in a bidirectional yet generally similar V‐shaped conformation.…”
