H2A O-GlcNAcylation at serine 40 functions genomic protection in association with acetylated H2AZ or γH2AX

Abstract Background We have previously reported a novel O-GlcNAc modification at serine 40 (S40) of H2A (H2AS40Gc). S40-type H2A isoforms susceptible to O-GlcNAcylation are evolutionarily new and restricted to the viviparous animals; however, the biological function of H2AS40Gc is largely unknown. H...
