Hexosamine biosynthesis and related pathways, protein N-glycosylation and O-GlcNAcylation: their interconnection and role in plants
N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), a fundamental amino sugar moiety, is essential for protein glycosylation, glycolipid, GPI-anchor protein, and cell wall components. Uridine diphosphate-GlcNAc (UDP-GlcNAc), an active form of GlcNAc, is synthesized through the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP). Altho...
