Epidermal growth factor (EGF) domain-specificO-GlcNAc transferase (EOGT) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident protein that modifies EGF repeats of Notch receptors and thereby regulates Delta-like ligand-mediated Notch signaling. SeveralEOGTmutations that may affect putativeN-glycosylation consensus sites are recorded in the cancer database, but the presence and function ofN-glycans in EOGT have not yet been characterized. Here, we identifiedN-glycosylation sites in mouse EOGT and elucidated their molecular functions. Three predictedN-glycosylation consensus sequences on EOGT are highly conserved among mammalian species. Within these sites, we found that Asn-263 and Asn-354, but not Asn-493, are modified withN-glycans. Lectin blotting, endoglycosidase H digestion, and MS analysis revealed that both residues are modified with oligomannoseN-glycans. Loss of an individualN-glycan on EOGT did not affect its endoplasmic reticulum (ER) localization, enzyme activity, and ability toO-GlcNAcylate Notch1 in HEK293T cells. However, simultaneous substitution of bothN-glycosylation sites affected both EOGT maturation and expression levels without an apparent change in enzymatic activity, suggesting thatN-glycosylation at a single site is sufficient for EOGT maturation and expression. Accordingly, a decrease inO-GlcNAc stoichiometry was observed in Notch1 co-expressed with an N263Q/N354Q variant compared with WT EOGT. Moreover, the N263Q/N354Q variant exhibited altered subcellular distribution within the ER in HEK293T cells, indicating thatN-glycosylation of EOGT is required for its ER localization at the cell periphery. These results suggest critical roles ofN-glycans in sustainingO-GlcNAc transferase function both by maintaining EOGT levels and by ensuring its proper subcellular localization in the ER.
