ABSTRACTGlycosylation of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins is an essential post-translational modification in mammals. O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), the sole enzyme responsible for this modification, glycosylates over a thousand unique nuclear and cytoplasmic substrates. How OGT selects its substrates is a fundamental question that must be answered to understand OGT’s unusual biology. OGT contains a long tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain that has been implicated in substrate selection, but there is almost no information about how changes to this domain affect glycosylation of individual substrates. Here, we used proteome-wide glycosylation profiling and probed glycosylation of selected purified substrates to show that asparagine and aspartate ladders that extend the full length of OGT’s TPR lumen control substrate glycosylation. We also found that substrates with glycosylation sites close to the C-terminus bypass lumenal binding. Our findings demonstrate that substrates can engage OGT in a variety of different ways for glycosylation.

FK506-binding protein35 of Plasmodium knowlesi (Pk-FKBP35) is a member of peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) and is considered as a promising avenue of antimalarial drug target development. This protein is organized into the N-terminal domain responsible for PPIase catalytic activity followed and the tetratricopeptide repeat domain for its dimerization. The protease-coupling and protease-free assays are known to be the common methods for investigating the catalytic properties of PPIase. Earlier, the protease-coupling assay was used to confirm the catalytic activity of Pk-FKBP35 in accelerating cis-trans isomerization of the peptide substrate. This report is aimed to re-assess the catalytic and substrate specificity of Pk-FKBP35 using an alternative method of a protease-free assay. The result indicated that while Pk-FKBP35 theoretically contained many possible cleavage sites of chymotrypsin, experimentally, the catalytic domain was relatively stable from chymotrypsin. Furthermore, under protease-free assay, Pk-FKBP35 also demonstrated remarkable PPIase catalytic activity with kcat/KM of 4.5 + 0.13 × 105 M−1 s−1, while the kcat/KM of active site mutant of D55A is 0.81 + 0.05 × 105 M−1 s−1. These values were considered comparable to kcat/KM obtained from the protease-coupling assay. Interestingly, the substrate specificities of Pk-FKBP35 obtained from both methods are also similar, with the preference of Pk-FKBP35 towards Xaa at P1 position was Leu>Phe>Lys>Trp>Val>Ile>His>Asp>Ala>Gln>Glu. Altogether, we proposed that protease-free and protease-coupling assays arereliable for Pk-FKBP35.
