Summary
LFNG (LFNG O-fucosylpeptide 3-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, HGNC:6560) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7p22.3, encoding Beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase lunatic fringe (Q8NES3). Glycosyltransferase that initiates the elongation of O-linked fucose residues attached to EGF-like repeats in the extracellular domain of Notch molecules.
This gene is a member of the glycosyltransferase 31 gene family. Members of this gene family, which also includes the MFNG (GeneID: 4242) and RFNG (GeneID: 5986) genes, encode evolutionarily conserved glycosyltransferases that act in the Notch signaling pathway to define boundaries during embryonic development. While their genomic structure is distinct from other glycosyltransferases, these proteins have a fucose-specific beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity that leads to elongation of O-linked fucose residues on Notch, which alters Notch signaling. The protein encoded by this gene is predicted to be a single-pass type II Golgi membrane protein but it may also be secreted and proteolytically processed like the related proteins in mouse and Drosophila (PMID: 9187150). Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive spondylocostal dysostosis 3.

All UniProt accessions (1): Q8NES3
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Glycosyltransferase that initiates the elongation of O-linked fucose residues attached to EGF-like repeats in the extracellular domain of Notch molecules. Modulates NOTCH1 activity by modifying O-fucose residues at specific EGF-like domains resulting in inhibition of NOTCH1 activation by JAG1 and enhancement of NOTCH1 activation by DLL1 via an increase in its binding to DLL1. Decreases the binding of JAG1 to NOTCH2 but not that of DLL1. Essential mediator of somite segmentation and patterning.
Subcellular location. Golgi apparatus. Golgi apparatus membrane.
Post-translational modifications. A soluble form may be derived from the membrane form by proteolytic processing.
Disease relevance. Spondylocostal dysostosis 3, autosomal recessive (SCDO3) [MIM:609813] A condition of variable severity associated with vertebral and rib segmentation defects. The main skeletal malformations include fusion of vertebrae, hemivertebrae, fusion of certain ribs, and other rib malformations. Deformity of the chest and spine (severe scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis and lordosis) is a natural consequence of the malformation and leads to a dwarf-like appearance. As the thorax is small, infants frequently have respiratory insufficiency and repeated respiratory infections resulting in life-threatening complications in the first year of life. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Cofactor. Manganese is the most effective. Can also use cobalt with lower efficiency. Has some activity with magnesium and calcium, but not zinc.
Similarity. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 31 family.
