| T1 |
0-106 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Mutations in N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase in patients with X-linked intellectual disability. |
| T2 |
107-248 |
Sentence |
denotes |
N-Acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) regulates protein O-GlcNAcylation, an essential and dynamic post-translational modification. |
| T3 |
249-423 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The O-GlcNAc modification is present on numerous nuclear and cytosolic proteins and has been implicated in essential cellular functions such as signaling and gene expression. |
| T4 |
424-549 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Accordingly, altered levels of protein O-GlcNAcylation have been associated with developmental defects and neurodegeneration. |
| T5 |
550-636 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, mutations in the OGT gene have not yet been functionally confirmed in humans. |
| T6 |
637-868 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here, we report on two hemizygous mutations in OGT in individuals with X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) and dysmorphic features: one missense mutation (p.Arg284Pro) and one mutation leading to a splicing defect (c.463-6T>G). |
| T7 |
869-976 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Both mutations reside in the tetratricopeptide repeats of OGT that are essential for substrate recognition. |
| T8 |
977-1172 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We observed slightly reduced levels of OGT protein and reduced levels of its opposing enzyme O-GlcNAcase in both patient-derived fibroblasts, but global O-GlcNAc levels appeared to be unaffected. |
| T9 |
1173-1293 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our data suggest that mutant cells attempt to maintain global O-GlcNAcylation by down-regulating O-GlcNAcase expression. |
| T10 |
1294-1464 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We also found that the c.463-6T>G mutation leads to aberrant mRNA splicing, but no stable truncated protein was detected in the corresponding patient-derived fibroblasts. |
| T11 |
1465-1758 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Recombinant OGT bearing the p.Arg284Pro mutation was prone to unfolding and exhibited reduced glycosylation activity against a complex array of glycosylation substrates and proteolytic processing of the transcription factor host cell factor 1, which is also encoded by an XLID-associated gene. |
| T12 |
1759-1913 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We conclude that defects in O-GlcNAc homeostasis and host cell factor 1 proteolysis may play roles in mediation of XLID in individuals with OGT mutations. |
