catalytic centers of a number of glutamine-utilizing enzymes, such as

Gln:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT), which is a rate-limiting

Supplementary figure S1. Proposed model for the function of

GlcNAcylated H2B in the O-GlcNAc signaling pathway.

Glucose is metabolized to UDP-GlcNAc through the HBP, which branches off

from the glycolytic pathway. Because OGT activity depends on the

intracellular concentration of UDP-GlcNAc, the level of GlcNAcylation of

H2B S112 therefore reflects the availability of extracellular glucose. H2B

S112 GlcNAc is targeted by the BRE1 complex on the C-terminal α-helix of

H2B, facilitating ubiquitination of H2B K120. Hence, these coordinated
