Characterization of O-GlcNAcylation in Starfish (Asterina pectinifera) Development from Fertilization to Bipinnaria Larva

Though O-linked β-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) of nucleocytoplasmic proteins has been found in many multicellular organisms, its presence or absence in Echinodermata is unknown. Here we report the occurrence of O-GlcNAcylation in starfish (Asterina pectinifera) oocytes and the apparen...

Zusammenfassung:Though O-linked β-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) of nucleocytoplasmic proteins has been found in many multicellular organisms, its presence or absence in Echinodermata is unknown. Here we report the occurrence of O-GlcNAcylation in starfish (Asterina pectinifera) oocytes and the apparent O-GlcNAcylation pattern in starfish early development. O-GlcNAcylation might participate in the regulation of starfish development at the mid-blastula stage and thereafter.
