Other name(s):

GDP-Man:Man₂GlcNAc₂-PP-Dol α-1,6-mannosyltransferase; Alg2 mannosyltransferase (ambiguous); ALG2 (gene name, ambiguous); GDP-Man:Man₁GlcNAc₂-PP-dolichol mannosyltransferase (ambiguous); GDP-D-mannose:D-Man-α-(1→3)-D-Man-β-(1→4)-D-GlcNAc-β-(1→4)-D-GlcNAc-diphosphodolichol α-6-mannosyltransferase

Systematic name:

GDP-α-D-mannose:α-D-Man-(1→3)-β-D-Man-(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→4)-α-D-GlcNAc-diphosphodolichol 6-α-D-mannosyltransferase (configuration-retaining)

Comments:

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 α1,3-mannosylation (cf. EC 2.4.1.132) of β-D-Man-(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→4)-α-D-GlcNAc-diphosphodolichol, followed by an α1,6-mannosylation, to form the first branched pentasaccharide intermediate of the dolichol pathway [1,2].
