Background: Polypeptide GalNAc Transferase 13/GALNT13

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). GALNT13 is highly homologous to ubiquitously expressed GALNT1, but is restrictively expressed in the brain (7). In addition, GALNT13 is able to form trimeric Tn antigen, three consecutive GalNAc-Ser/Thr structures, on syndecans, which may further enhances cancer metastasis (7, 8). The enzymatic activity of recombinant human GALNT1 was determined using a phosphatase-coupled assay (9).
