Abstract excerpt
Signal transduction from the insulin receptor to downstream effectors is attenuated by phosphorylation at a number of Ser/Thr residues of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) resulting in resistance to insulin action, the hallmark of type II diabetes. Ser/Thr residues can also be reversibly glycosylated by O-linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) monosaccharide, a dynamic posttranslational modification that...
