Summary

POFUT1 (protein O-fucosyltransferase 1, HGNC:14988) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q11.21, encoding GDP-fucose protein O-fucosyltransferase 1 (Q9H488). Catalyzes the reaction that attaches fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to a conserved serine or threonine residue found in the consensus sequence C2-X(4,5)-[S/T]-C3 of EGF domains, where C2 and C3 are the second and third conserved cysteines.

This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase O-Fuc family. This enzyme adds O-fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to conserved serine or threonine residues in the epidermal growth factor-like repeats of a number of cell surface and secreted proteins. O-fucose glycans are involved in ligand-induced receptor signaling. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

GDP-fucose protein O-fucosyltransferase 1Q9H488 (reviewed: Q9H488)

Alternative names: Peptide-O-fucosyltransferase 1

All UniProt accessions (3): Q9H488, A0A9L9PX68, A0A9L9PY15

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Catalyzes the reaction that attaches fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to a conserved serine or threonine residue found in the consensus sequence C2-X(4,5)-[S/T]-C3 of EGF domains, where C2 and C3 are the second and third conserved cysteines. Specifically uses GDP-fucose as donor substrate and proper disulfide pairing of the substrate EGF domains is required for fucose transfer. Plays a crucial role in NOTCH signaling. Initial fucosylation of NOTCH by POFUT1 generates a substrate for FRINGE/RFNG, an acetylglucosaminyltransferase that can then extend the fucosylation on the NOTCH EGF repeats. This extended fucosylation is required for optimal ligand binding and canonical NOTCH signaling induced by DLL1 or JAGGED1. Fucosylates AGRN and determines its ability to cluster acetylcholine receptors (AChRs).

Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum.

Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas.

Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated.

Disease relevance. Dowling-Degos disease 2 (DDD2) [MIM:615327] An autosomal dominant genodermatosis. Affected individuals develop a postpubertal reticulate hyperpigmentation that is progressive and disfiguring, and small hyperkeratotic dark brown papules that affect mainly the flexures and great skin folds. Patients usually show no abnormalities of the hair or nails. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Pathway. Protein modification; protein glycosylation.

Similarity. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 65 family.
