One of the dominant post-translational modifications in mammals is mucin-type (GalNAc-type) O-glycosylation initiated by polypeptide N-acetyl-galactosaminyltransferases (ppGalNAc-Ts), which is closely associated with many physiological and pathological conditions. An atomic-level understanding of the structural dynamics of one critical catalytic loop in ppGalNAc-Ts from an open to a closed state upon substrate binding, however, is still elusive. Here, by constructing a Markov state model based on extensive all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with an aggregated simulation time of ∼20 μs, we reveal, at atomistic resolution, the key metastable states of the catalytic loop in ppGalNAc-T2 during its closing/opening dynamics after donor substrate (UDP–GalNAc) binding. The overall catalytic-loop closing motion is estimated to take place at a timescale of ∼tens of μs, with the rate-limiting transition caused by some critical structural rearrangements within the catalytic loop region, coupled with the des...
