Evidence for functional regulation of the KLHL3/WNK pathway by O-GlcNAcylation.

Journal Article Glycobiology · August 11, 2025 The 42-member Kelch-like (KLHL) protein family are adaptors for ubiquitin E3 ligase complexes, governing the stability of a wide range of substrates. KLHL proteins are critical for maintaining proteostasis in a variety of tissues and are mutated in human d ... Full text Link to item Cite

Dynamic regulation of Sec24C by phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation during cell cycle progression.

Journal Article J Biol Chem · August 2025 During mitosis, eukaryotic cells cease anterograde trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) toward the Golgi. This cessation corresponds with the dispersal of the COPII transport protein, Sec24C, from juxtanuclear ER exit sites (ERES) into a diffuse ... Full text Link to item Cite

Dynamic regulation of the COPII interactome and collagen trafficking by site-specific glycosylation of Sec24D.

Journal Article bioRxiv · June 13, 2025 Coat protein complex II (COPII) mediates anterograde trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). While the core COPII machinery is well-characterized, how cells regulate COPII to accommodate large cargoes, including collagens, remains incompletely und ... Full text Link to item Cite
