Project : Study of O-GlcNAc glycosylation of FoxO1 the betapancreatic Cell O-GlcNAc glycosylation of cytosolic and nuclear proteins constitutes a reversible post-translational modification, analogous to phosphorylation, which now appears as a major player in the regulation of cell signalling. This modification depends on glucose concentrations, allowing a regulation of protein activities
according to the metabolic environment of the cell. O-GlcNAc modification could therefore participate in the deleterious effects associated with chronic hyperglycaemia observed in diabetes (glucotoxicty) .
