Background: Polypeptide GalNAc Transferase 3/GALNT3

O-glycosylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification present in secreted and membrane‑bound proteins. Polypeptide N‑acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GALNTs) calalyze 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). Expression of GALNT3 appears to be highly regulated and mainly found in pancreas and testis (7). Using a peptide library screening approach, GALNT3 was classified as an intermediate transferase that increases the density of O-linked glycans within the mucin domain following glycosylation with early transferases (5). The enzymatic activity of recombinant human GALNT3 was determined using a phosphatase‑coupled assay (8).
