OGT contains 2 subunits: a 110 kDa and a 78kDa. The 110 kDa subunit contains a superhelical domain with 13 tetratricopeptide (TPR) repeats. The TPR motif consists of 34 amino acids and mediates protein-protein interactions. MurG:UDP-GlcNac is an OGT which forms glycosidic linkage between N-acetyl muramyl pentapeptide and N-acetyl glycosamine in the synthesis of bacterial cell wall[2]. For details see Human O-GlcNAc transferase. Structural highlights [3]. Water molecule is shown as red sphere.
