GENERAL INFORMATION 
ORGANISM

COMMENTARY 
LITERATURE
malfunction
cells deleted for ALG2 are inviable. Mutant alg2 alleles display intraallelic complementation
metabolism
the fourth and fifth steps of lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) synthesis are catalyzed by Alg2, an unusual mannosyltransferase (MTase) with two different MTase activities
physiological function
additional information
the conserved C-terminal EX7E motif, N-terminal cytosolic tail, and 3G-rich loop motifs in Alg2 play crucial roles for these activities, both in vitro and in vivo. Alg2 immunoprecipitates from extracts of yeast microsomal membranes also displays both alpha1,3- and alpha1,6-mannosyltransferase (MTase) activities. The conserved Val62 residue is required for yeast Alg2 function. The first E (E335) and His-336 are partially required for alpha1,6-mannosylation, and importance of both E335 and E343 of the EX7E domain for Alg2 function in vivo. Identification of three conserved G-rich motifs in scAlg2, located in the N-terminal cytosolic short tail, in the middle of Alg2, and in the C-terminal domain. Residues G17, G19, and G20 are within the N-terminal cytosolic tail of Alg2, importance of this domain for Alg2 function
physiological function
asparagine (N)-linked glycosylation requires the ordered, stepwise synthesis of lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) precursor Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-diphosphate-dolichol (Glc3Man9Gn2-PDol) on the endoplasmic reticulum. The fourth and fifth steps of LLO synthesis are catalyzed by Alg2, an unusual mannosyltransferase (MTase) with two different MTase activities. Alg2 adds both an alpha1,3- and alpha1,6-mannose onto ManGlcNAc2-PDol to form the trimannosyl core Man3GlcNAc2-PDol. Alg2-dependent Man3GlcNAc2-PDol production relies on net-neutral lipids with a propensity to form bilayers
