O-GlcNAc is an abundant post-translational modification of serine and, threonine residues of nucleocytoplasmic proteins. This modification, found, only within higher eukaryotes, is a dynamic modification that is often, reciprocal to phosphorylation. In a manner analogous to phosphatases, a, glycoside hydrolase termed O-GlcNAcase cleaves O-GlcNAc from modified, proteins. Enzymes with high sequence similarity to human O-GlcNAcase are, also found in human pathogens and symbionts. We report the, three-dimensional structure of O-GlcNAcase from the human gut symbiont, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron both in its native form and in complex with a, mimic of the reaction intermediate. Mutagenesis and kinetics studies show, that the bacterial enzyme, very similarly to its human counterpart, operates . | O-GlcNAc is an abundant post-translational modification of serine and, threonine residues of nucleocytoplasmic proteins.
