Abstract

Mounting evidence suggests that keratin post-translational modifications are crucial for many cellular processes. Now, keratin 18 modified by the addition of an O-linked N-acetylglucosamine residue is shown to be as a critical effector of stress-responsive Akt signalling, providing an important link between keratin glycosylation and cell survival.
