为探究衰老如何调节蛋白质翻译后修饰(PTMs)影响机体抗病毒防御能力,研究人员开展 STAT1 修饰相关研究。发现衰老影响 STAT1 的 Kbhb 和 O-GlcNAc 修饰,小分子化合物和果糖可干预。该研究为提升老年人抗病毒能力提供策略,值得一读。 2025年,中国科学院的研究 ...
The reversible attachment of an activated form of N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) acts as a molecular switch between the growth and arrest of cells, establishing a new role for cell surface glycans.
Additional experiments suggested that the lectin domain of normal GnT-IVa and GnT-IVb had little to do with the actual formation of the β1-4-GlcNAc branch on substrate glycoproteins. The team ...
