Abstract

Background: Nuclear membrane protein emerin binding to nuclear intermediate filaments (lamins) and BAF contributes to forming a nuclear "lamina" structure. Results: Emerin is O-GlcNAc-modified at eight sites: two (Ser-53 and Ser-54) influence further O-GlcNAcylation, and one (Ser-173) regulates association with BAF in the chromatin/lamin B "niche." Conclusion: O-GlcNAc transferase, a nutrient-responsive enzyme, regulates emerin. Significance: Emerin hyper-O-GlcNAcylation may contribute to cardiomyopathy and other conditions.
