Supplementary information

B3GNT also known as Beta-13-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase is an enzyme that facilitates the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-GlcNAc to various substrates. It often involves the synthesis of poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains. B3GNT family proteins weigh around 45 kDa although variations might exist. This enzyme mostly expresses in tissues such as the liver spleen and lungs. During mechanical processes B3GNT operates in the Golgi apparatus and actively participates in glycosylation processes.
Biological function summary

B3GNT enzymes play an important role in creating and modifying glycan structures on glycoproteins and glycolipids. Complex assemblies form with other glycosyltransferases for the efficient construction and regulation of glycan chains. These glycan structures are important for cellular processes like cell adhesion migration and signal transduction. By shaping these vital cellular events B3GNT contributes to fundamental biological functions and cell interactions.

Pathways

B3GNT performs essential functions in the glycosphingolipid biosynthesis and Notch signaling pathways. These pathways govern cell fate determination morphogenesis and differentiation. B3GNT interacts with various proteins including fucosyltransferases and sialyltransferases during the synthesis of complex glycan structures. The Notch signaling pathway also involves proteins such as Notch receptors and ligands where B3GNT influences receptor-ligand interactions through glycosylation modifications impacting the signaling outcomes.

B3GNT dysfunction correlates with conditions like cancer and congenital disorders of glycosylation. Changes in glycan structures due to altered B3GNT activity often link with tumorigenesis and cancer metastasis. B3GNT's relationship with proteins like E-cadherin in cancer can affect E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion promoting invasive behavior. In congenital disorders of glycosylation irregularities in glycan structures reflect defects in early developmental processes leading to multisystemic symptoms. These conditions emphasize the importance of B3GNT in maintaining normal cellular functions.

Target data

Beta-1,4-glucuronyltransferase involved in O-mannosylation of alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1) (PubMed : 19587235, PubMed : 23359570, PubMed : 25279697, PubMed : 25279699). Transfers a glucuronic acid (GlcA) residue onto a xylose (Xyl) acceptor to produce the glucuronyl-beta-1,4-xylose-beta disaccharide primer, which is further elongated by LARGE1, during synthesis of phosphorylated O-mannosyl glycan (PubMed : 25279697, PubMed : 25279699). Phosphorylated O-mannosyl glycan is a carbohydrate structure present in alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1), which is required for binding laminin G-like domain-containing extracellular proteins with high affinity (PubMed : 25279697, PubMed : 25279699). Required for axon guidance; via its function in O-mannosylation of alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1) (By similarity).
