Abstract excerpt
In the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a number of proteins have been found to be hyperphosphorylated, including neurofilament proteins (NFs). In addition to protein phosphorylation, another important post-translational modification is O-glycosylation with β-N-acetylglucosamine residues (O-GlcNAc) and it has been found that O-GlcNAc can modify proteins competitively with protein...
