FunFam 1: alpha-(1,3)-fucosyltransferase 9

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
3-galactosyl-N-acetylglucosaminide 4-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase. [EC: 2.4.1.65]
GDP-beta-L-fucose + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R = GDP + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-(alpha-L-fucosyl-(1->4))-N-acetyl-beta-D- glucosaminyl-R.
  • Product of the Lewis blood group gene.
  • Normally acts on a glycoconjugate where R (see CA line) is a glycoprotein or glycolipid.
  • Although it is a 4-fucosyltransferase, it has a persistent 3-fucosyltransferase activity toward the glucose residue in free lactose.
  • Fucosylates on O-4 of an N-acetylglucosamine that carries a galactosyl group on O-3, unlike EC 2.4.1.152 which fucosylates on O-3 of an N-acetylglucosamine that carries a galactosyl group on O-4.
  • Enzymes catalyzing the 4-alpha-fucosylation of the GlcNAc in beta-D- Gal-(1->3)-beta-GlcNAc sequences (with some activity also as 3-alpha- fucosyltransferases) are present in plants, where the function in vivo is the modification of N-glycans.
  • In addition, the fucTa gene of Helicobacter strain UA948 encodes a fucosyltransferase with both 3-alpha- and 4-alpha-fucosyltransferase activities.
