Dolichol-phosphate mannosyltransferase

EC 2.4.1.83

Alternative name(s):

  • Dolichol-phosphate mannose synthase
    • Short name=DPM synthase
  • Dolichyl-phosphate beta-D-mannosyltransferase
  • Mannose-P-dolichol synthase
    • Short name=MPD synthase

Function

GDP-マンノースをドリコール一リン酸に転移してマンノース転移のドナーとなるドリコール一リン酸を合成する。N型糖鎖合成、糖化ホスファチジルイノシトール膜アンカー、O-マンノシルタンパク質合成に用いられる。
Transfers mannose from GDP-mannose to dolichol monophosphate to form dolichol phosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man) which is the mannosyl donor in pathways leading to N-glycosylation, glycosyl phosphatidylinositol membrane anchoring, and O-mannosylation of proteins.

Catalytic activity

GDP-mannose + dolichyl phosphate = GDP + dolichyl D-mannosyl phosphate.

Pathway

Protein modification; protein glycosylation.

Subcellular location

Endoplasmic reticulum.

Involvement in disease

Defects in DPM1 are the cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1E (CDG1E) [MIM:608799]. CDGs are metabolic deficiencies in glycoprotein biosynthesis that usually cause severe mental and psychomotor retardation. They are characterized by under-glycosylated serum glycoproteins. CDG1E is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by severe developmental delay, hypotnia, seizures, and dysmorphic features. Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family.
