Summary

PIGW (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class W, HGNC:23213) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q12, encoding Glucosaminyl-phosphatidylinositol-acyltransferase PIGW (Q7Z7B1). Acyltransferase that catalyzes the acyl transfer from an acyl-CoA at the 2-OH position of the inositol ring of a 6-(alpha-D-glucosaminyl)-1-(1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)-1D-myo-inositol (glucosaminyl phosphatidylinositol, GlcN-PI) to generate a 2-acyl-6-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-….

The protein encoded by this gene is an inositol acyltransferase that acylates the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol. This occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and is a step in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), which anchors many cell surface proteins to the membrane. Defects in this gene are a cause of the age-dependent epileptic encephalopathy West syndrome as well as a syndrome exhibiting hyperphosphatasia and cognitive disability (HPMRS5).

Function. Acyltransferase that catalyzes the acyl transfer from an acyl-CoA at the 2-OH position of the inositol ring of a 6-(alpha-D-glucosaminyl)-1-(1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)-1D-myo-inositol (glucosaminyl phosphatidylinositol, GlcN-PI) to generate a 2-acyl-6-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-1-(1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)-1D-myo-inositol (glucosaminyl acyl phosphatidylinositol, GlcN-(acyl)PI) and participates in the fourth step of GPI-anchor biosynthesis. Required for the transport of GPI-anchored proteins to the plasma membrane. Acylation during GPI-anchor biosynthesis is not essential for the subsequent mannosylation and is usually removed soon after the attachment of GPIs to proteins.

Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

Disease relevance. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis defect 11 (GPIBD11) [MIM:616025] An autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, tonic seizures associated with hypsarrhythmia, dysmorphic facial features, and elevated serum alkaline phosphatase. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Pathway. Glycolipid biosynthesis; glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis.

Similarity. Belongs to the PIGW family.
