Genetically encoded green fluorescent biosensors for monitoring UDP-GlcNAc in live cells
2021-06-23
Abstract excerpt
Uridine diphosphate N -acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) is a nucleotide sugar used by glycosyltransferases to synthesize glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans, glycolipids, and glycoRNA. UDP-GlcNAc also serves as the donor substrate for the formation of O -GlcNAc, a dynamic intracellular protein modification involved in diverse signaling and disease processes. UDP-GlcNAc is thus a central metabolite connecting nutriti...
