The biosynthesis of asparagine-linked glycoproteins utilizes a dolichyl diphosphate-linked glycosyl donor, which is assembled by the series of membrane-bound glycosyltransferases that comprise the dolichol pathway. Alg2 mannosyltransferase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae carries out an alpha1,3-mannosylation (cf. EC 2.4.1.132) of beta-D-Man-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->4)-alpha-D-GlcNAc-diphosphodolichol, followed by an alpha1,6-mannosylation, to form the first branched pentasaccharide intermediate of the dolichol pathway [1,2].

in eukaryotes, biosynthesis of N-glycans starts with the assembly of the common core oligosaccharide precursor Glc3Man9 GlcNAc2-PP-Dol, the glycan moiety of which is subsequently transferred onto selected Asn-Xaa-(Ser/Thr) acceptor sites of the nascent polypeptide chain by the oligosaccharyl-transferase complex
the biosynthesis of asparagine-linked glycoproteins utilizes a dolichylpyrophosphate-linked glycosyl donor, which is assembled by the series of membrane-bound glycosyltransferases that comprise the dolichol pathway. Alg2 carries out an alpha1,3-mannosylation of D-Man-beta-(1-4)-D-GlcNAc-beta-(1-4)-D-GlcNAc-diphosphodolichol, followed by an alpha1,6-mannosylation, to form the first branched pentasaccharide intermediate of the dolichol pathway

Alg2 is able to catalyze both the addition of the alpha1,3- and alpha1,6-linked mannose residue to Man1GlcNAc2-PP-Dol, forming Man2GlcNAc2-PP-Dol (cf. EC 2.4.1.132) and subsequently to Man3GlcNAc2-PP-Dol

mutational analysis of Alg2 and identification of amino acids required for its activity. None of the four domains (predicted as transmembrane-spanning helices) is essential for transferase activity because truncated Alg2 variants can exert their function as long as Alg2 is associated with the endaplasmic reticulum by either its N- or C-terminal hydrophobic regions

LITERATURE
overexpression in Escherichia coli. Two Alg2 constructs are expressed and isolated, one with the N-terminal TRX domain and C-terminal His and V5 epitope tags and the other with only an N-terminal His tag
engineering of a synthetic pathway in Escherichia coli for the production of eukaryotic trimannosyl chitobiose glycans and the transfer of these glycans to specific asparagine residues in target proteins. Glycan biosynthesis is enabled by four eukaryotic glycosyltransferases, including the yeast uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine transferases Alg13 and Alg14 and the mannosyltransferases Alg1 and Alg2. By including the bacterial oligosaccharyltransferase PglB from Campylobacter jejuni, glycans are successfully transferred to eukaryotic proteins
