From the Tau is a family of phosphoproteins that are
important in modulating microtubule stability in neurons. In
Alzheimer's disease tau is abnormally hyperphosphorylated, no longer
binds microtubules, and self-assembles to form paired helical filaments
that likely contribute to neuron death. Here we demonstrate that normal
bovine tau is multiply modified by Ser(Thr)-O-linked
N-acetylglucosamine, a dynamic and abundant
post-translational modification that is often reciprocal to
Ser(Thr)-phosphorylation. O-GlcNAcylation of tau was
demonstrated by blotting with succinylated wheat germ agglutinin and by
probing with bovine milk

(1,4)galactosyltransferase. Structural
analyses confirm the linkage and the saccharide structure. Tau splicing
variants are multiply O-GlcNAcylated at similar sites, with
an average stoichiometry of greater than 4 mol of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine/mol of tau. However, the number of
sites occupied appears to be greater than 12, suggesting
substoichiometric occupancy at any given site. A similar relationship
between average stoichiometry and site-occupancy has also been
described for the phosphorylation of tau. Site-specific or
stoichiometric changes in O-GlcNAcylation may not only
modulate tau function but may also play a role in the formation of
paired helical filaments.
