title: O-GlcNAc modification of Sp1 inhibits the functional interaction between Sp1 and Oct1.
abstract: Sp1 is a ubiquitous transcription factor that is modified by multiple O-linked N-acetylglucosamines (O-GlcNAc). Previously, O-GlcNAcylation of a specific site of Sp1 was shown to inhibit Sp1 transcriptional activity. Yet, how O-GlcNAc on other modification sites affects Sp1 function and how O-GlcNAcylation of Sp1 affects the transcriptional regulation of a target gene remains unknown. Here we show that O-GlcNAc within the second serine/threonine-rich region of Sp1 interrupts a known interaction between Sp1 and Oct1, and inhibits the cooperative activation of the U2 snRNA gene by Sp1 and Oct1.
