Background: POMGNT1

Protein O-mannose beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (POMGNT1) is a Golgi-resident type II transmembrane protein that participates in O-mannosyl glycosylation (1, 2). In particular, POMGNT1 is involved in the synthesis of the GlcNAc beta1-2Man alpha1-O-Ser/Thr moiety present on alpha-dystroglycan and other O‑mannosylated proteins (3). A phosphorylated O‑mannosyl glycan is identified as a laminin-binding ligand of alpha-dystroglycan (4) that functions as part of the transmembrane linkage between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton in skeletal muscle. POMGNT1 is widely expressed in all tissues, with the highest levels found in skeletal muscle and the heart (1, 2). Mutations of POMGNT1 are associated with muscle-eye-brain (MEB) disease (5, 6, 7). MEB is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy, ocular abnormalities, cobblestone lissencephaly and cerebellar hypoplasia. The enzymatic activity of the recombinant human POMGNT1 was determined using methyl-alpha -D-mannopyranoside as the acceptor substrate with a phosphatase-coupled glycosyltransferase assay (7).
