International audience. The O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification is an abundant post-translational modification in eukaryotic cells. This dynamic glycosylation plays a fundamental role in the activity of many nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins and is associated with pathologies like type II diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease or some cancers. However the exact link between O-GlcNAc-modified proteins and their function in cells is largely undefined for most cases. Here we report a strategy based on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, called click chemistry, between unnatural N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) analogues (substituted with an azido or alkyne group) and the corresponding biotinylated probe to specifically detect, enrich and identify O-GlcNAc-modified proteins. This bio-orthogonal conjugation confirms that only azido analogue of GlcNAc is metabolized by the cell. Thanks to the biotin probe, affinity purification on streptavidin beads allowed us to identify 32 O-GlcNAc-azido-tagged proteins by LC-MS/MS analysis in an MCF-7 cellular model, 14 of which were previously unreported. This work illustrates the use of the click-chemistry-based strategy combined with a proteomic approach to get further insight into the pattern of O-GlcNAc-modified proteins and the biological significance of this post-translational modification.
