Post-translational modifications of phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1), a glycoytic enzyme, contribute to cancer progression. Here, the authors show that PGK1 is O-GlcNAcylated at T255, which induces its translocation into mitochondria to suppress the tricarboxylic acid cycle for colorectal cancer growth.
