Background: Polypeptide GalNAc Transferase 7/GALNT7

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). GALNT7 has a restricted preference for glycopeptides, i.e. requiring substrates that have been already decorated with GalNAc by other GALNTs, and has little redundant activity from the other family members (7, 8). Human GALNT7 is expressed in uterus, retina, kidney, small intestine, stomach and central nervous system (8). Recently, GALNT7 was identified as an oncogenic target in cervical cancer (9). The enzymatic activity of recombinant human GALNT7 was determined using a phosphatase-coupled assay (10).
