Gene Details: DPAGT1
1 / 1
General Information
Gene Name: DPAGT1 (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine--dolichyl-phosphate N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase)
Synonym: DPAGT2
Short Names:
Alternative Names: GlcNAc-1-P transferase;N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase;
Notes:
- ALG7/DPAGT1 initiates the synthesis of 14 sugar Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 on dolichol pyrophosphate. This is a lipid linked oligosaccaride (LLO) where 7 monosaccharides are added in the cytoplasmic side and 7 in the ER lumen.
- ALG7 adds GlcNAc to dolichol phosphate (P-Dol) to generate GlcNAc-PP-Dol.
- Tunicamycin acts as a tight-binding competitive inhibitor of DPAGT1, presumably because it structurally resembles the donor nucleotide sugar.
- Mice lacking DPAGT1 are embyonic lethal in early days following implantation.
- CDG type I are a class of Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation that reduces site occupany of N-glycans. Enzymes causing CDG-I are commonly associated with deficiencies in LLO biosynthesis.
- ALG7/DPAGT1 Mutations in human results in CDG-Ij. It also causes Limb-Girdle congential myasthenic syndrome.
