Abstract
The essential human enzyme O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), known for modulating the functions of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins through Ser/Thr glycosylation, was unexpectedly implicated in the proteolytic maturation of the cell cycle regulator host cell factor-1 (HCF-1). Here we show that HCF-1 cleavage occurs via glycosylation of a glutamate side chain followed by on-enzyme formation of an internal pyroglutamate, which undergoes spontaneous backbone hydrolysis.
