The liver #transcriptome is highly sensitive to metabolic cues. By characterizing nuclear protein #OGlcNAcylation in mouse #liver during the day, @joanna-chiu.bsky.social &co show how shifts in a nutrient-sensitive #PTM may shape transcriptional regulation @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3KuS7m1

Model describing how daily rhythmic O-GlcNAc proteome integrates environmental and metabolic signals to regulate transcriptomic and physiological rhythms. Environmental cues signaling through the molecular clock and metabolic cues from feeding–fasting cycles regulate daily rhythms in the O-GlcNAc proteome. Rhythmic O-GlcNAcylation can directly shape daily rhythmicity in transcriptome and physiology. In addition, rhythmic O-GlcNAcylation can also interact with rhythmic phosphorylation. Different forms of crosstalk between O-GlcNAc proteome and phosphoproteome are shown in the middle box. The red solid arrows indicate the regulations described in this study, while the dashed arrow indicates regulations discovered by previous studies. Figure created using BioRender.com.

For ESIs dealing with grants being rescinded: if an investigator’s 1st substantial independent research award is terminated within the first 3 years of the project period (not due to scientific misconduct ) they can request the reinstatement of ESI status

grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

My First Substantial Independent Research Award Was Terminated Early. Can My ESI Status Be Reinstated?
June 12, 2025
Investigators lose their Early Stage Investigator (ESI) eligibility when they successfully compete for and receive a substantial independent research award. In the event an investigator’s first substantial independent research award is terminated within the first three years of the project period, and this was not due to scientific misconduct or other disqualifying events, the investigator can request the reinstatement of ESI status, using the ESI Extensions request tool in eRA commons. See Requesting an Extension for instructions.

For more, see the Early Stage Investigators FAQ page.
