Many cellular components undergo biased segregation during stem cell division, but whether such order extends to the proteome has remained unknown. Using our real-time O-GlycoTracer, we find that O-GlcNAcylated proteins (the O-GlcNAcome) segregate asymmetrically during Drosophila neuroblast mitosis, predisposing the two daughters to distinct fates. The daughter that preserves stem cell identity inherits most of the O-GlcNAcome. This asymmetric partition requires putative O-GlcNAc readers, notably 14-3-3 proteins. We further identify the nuclear pore complex (NPC) as a major O-GlcNAc substrate in neuroblasts; Nup153, located in the nuclear basket, shows O-GlcNAc-dependent biased inheritance. Perturbing multiple steps in this segregation pathway disrupts neuroblast differentiation, reduces brain size, and causes adult learning deficits. These findings reveal a coordinated O-GlcNAc-driven mechanism for proteome-level asymmetric inheritance during neural stem cell division, with implications for neurodevelopmental disorders linked to OGT or 14-3-3 mutations.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
