Abstract excerpt
O-GlcNAcylation is an abundant posttranslational modification in the brain implicated in human neurodegenerative diseases. We have exploited viable null alleles of the enzymes of O-GlcNAc cycling to examine the role of O-GlcNAcylation in well-characterized Caenorhabditis elegans models of neurodegenerative proteotoxicity. O-GlcNAc cycling dramatically modulated the severity of the phenotype in transgenic models...
