Structural basis of Notch O-glucosylation and O–xylosylation by mammalian protein–O-glucosyltransferase 1 (POGLUT1)
Abstract
POGLUT1 is a protein-O-glucosyltransferase that transfers glucose and xylose to the EGF-like domains of Notch and other signaling receptors. Here the authors report the structure of human POGLUT1 in complexes with 3 different EGF-like domains and donor substrates and shed light on the enzyme’s substrate specificity and catalytic mechanism
