Background: Polypeptide GalNAc Transferase 12/GALNT12

O-glycosylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification present in secreted and membrane-bound proteins. Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GALNTs) catalyze the initial step for O-glycosylation by transferring GalNAc to Thr or Ser residues (GalNAc alpha1-O-Ser/Thr) in the Golgi compartment. Structurally, the GALNTs consist of an N-terminal catalytic domain tethered by a short linker to a C-terminal ricin-like lectin domain containing three potential carbohydrate-binding sites (1, 2). Twenty distinct GALNT isoforms have been detected in humans. These isoforms display both unique and overlapping substrate specificities (3, 4, 5) with no known universal consensus glycosylation sequence. Glycosylation of mucins results from the successive, often hierarchical, action of several specific GALNTs (6). GALNT12 has activity toward non-glycosylated mucin peptides such as Muc5AC, Muc1a and EA2, and displays enzymatic activity toward mono-GalNAc-glycosylated Muc5AC glycopeptide, but no detectable activity to mono-GalNAc-glycosylated Muc1a, Muc2, Muc7 and EA2. It may play an important role in the initial step of mucin-type oligosaccharide biosynthesis in digestive organs (7). The enzymatic activity of recombinant human GALNT12 was determined using a phosphatase-coupled assay (8).
