The monosaccharide O-GlcNAc is an essential and dynamic post-translational modification (PTM) that decorates thousands of nucleocytoplasmic proteins. Interrogating the role of O-GlcNAc on a target protein is crucial yet challenging to perform in cells. We recently reported a pair of methods to selectively install or remove O-GlcNAc on a target protein in cells using nanobody-fusions to an engineered O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) or split O-GlcNAcase (OGA). Target protein O-GlcNAcylation and de-O-GlcNAcylation complements methods to interrogate the role of O-GlcNAc on a global scale or at individual glycosites. Herein, we describe a protocol for utilizing the nanobody-OGT and -splitOGA systems to screen for O-GlcNAc functionality on a target protein. We additionally include associated protocols for the detection of O-GlcNAc and cloning procedures to adapt the method for the user’s target protein of interest.
