Mitochondrial and nucleocytoplasmic targeting of O-linked GlcNAc transferase

O-linked GlcNAc transferase (OGT) mediates a novel glycan-dependent signaling pathway, but the intracellular targeting of OGT is poorly understood. We examined the localization of OGT by immunofluorescence microscopy, subcellular fractionation and immunoblotting using highly specific affinity-purified antisera. In addition to the expected nuclear localization, we found that OGT was highly concentrated in mitochondria. Since the mitochondrial OGT (103 kDa) was smaller than OGT found in other compartments (116 kDa) we reasoned that it was one of two predicted splice variants of OGT. The N-termini of these isoforms are unique; the shorter form contains a potential mitochondrial targeting sequence. We found that when epitope-tagged, the shorter form (mOGT; 103 kDa) concentrated in HeLa cell mitochondria, whereas the longer form (ncOGT; 116 kDa) localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm. The N-terminus of mOGT was essential for proper targeting. Although mOGT appears to be an active transferase, O-linked GlcNAc-modified substrates do not accumulate in mitochondria. Using immunoelectron microscopy and mitochondrial fractionation, we found that mOGT was tightly associated with the mitochondrial inner membrane. The differential localization of mitochondrial and nucleocytoplasmic isoforms of OGT suggests that they perform unique intracellular functions.
