- Glycoprotein 6-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase
In
enzymology , a glycoprotein 6-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase (EC number|2.4.1.68) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :GDP-L-fucose + N4-{N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->3)- [N- acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->6)] -beta-D- mannosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D- glucosaminyl}asparagine GDP + N4-{N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->3)- [N- acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->6)] -beta-D- mannosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)- [alpha-L- fucosyl-(1->6)] -N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl}asparagine
The 5 substrates of this enzyme are
GDP-L-fucose , [N4-{N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->3)- [N-] ,acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->6)] -beta-D- ,mannosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D- , andglucosaminyl}asparagine , whereas its 5 products are GDP, [N4-{N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->3)- [N-] ,acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->6)] -beta-D- , [mannosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)- [alpha-L-] , andfucosyl-(1->6)] -N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl}asparagine .This enzyme belongs to the family of
glycosyltransferase s, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is GDP-L-fucose:glycoprotein (L-fucose to asparagine-linked N-acetylglucosamine of N4-{N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->3)- [N-a cetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->6)] -beta-D-man nosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glu cosaminyl}asparagine) 6-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include GDP-fucose-glycoprotein fucosyltransferase, GDP-L-Fuc:N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide alpha1->6fucosyltransferase, GDP-L-fucose-glycoprotein fucosyltransferase, glycoprotein fucosyltransferase, guanosine diphosphofucose-glycoprotein fucosyltransferase, GDP-L-fucose:glycoprotein (L-fucose to asparagine-linked, N-acetylglucosamine of, 4-N-{N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->3)- [N-, acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->6)] -beta-D-, mannosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-, glucosaminyl}asparagine) 6-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase, and FucT. This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways:n-glycan biosynthesis ,keratan sulfate biosynthesis , andglycan structures - biosynthesis 1 .tructural studies
