Background: N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase I/MGAT1

Mannosylglycoprotein N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase 1 (MGAT1), also known as GnT I, is a type II transmembrane Golgi enzyme that regulates the branching of N-glycans. By transferring a GlcNAc residue to the alpha3-linked mannose of the trimannosyl core of N-linked oligosaccharides, MGAT1 initiates the formation of complex and hybrid N-linked carbohydrates (1). Mice lacking MGAT1 activity die at mid-gestation, revealing an essential role for these carbohydrates (2). Branched N-glycans on cell surface proteins bind to galectins and allow the formation of a multivalent lattice thereby enhancing cell surface residency of growth factor receptors and focal adhesion proteins. Because of its key role in N-glycan synthesis, MGAT1 is a potential target for anti-cancer therapy (3). Enzymatic activity of the recombinant human MGAT1 was determined using a phosphatase coupled glycosyltransferase assay (4).
