Function

OFUT1_MOUSE Catalyzes the reaction that attaches fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to a conserved serine or threonine residue found in the consensus sequence C2-X(4,5)-[S/T]-C3 of EGF domains, where C2 and C3 are the second and third conserved cysteines. Specifically uses GDP-fucose as donor substrate and proper disulfide pairing of the substrate EGF domains is required for fucose transfer. Plays a crucial role in NOTCH signaling. Initial fucosylation of NOTCH by POFUT1 generates a substrate for FRINGE/RFNG, an acetylglucosaminyltransferase that can then extend the fucosylation on the NOTCH EGF repeats. This extended fucosylation is required for optimal ligand binding and canonical NOTCH signaling induced by DLL1 or JAGGED1. Fucosylates AGRN and determines its ability to cluster acetylcholine receptors (AChRs).^[1] ^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Protein O-fucosyltransferase 1 (POFUT1) fucosylates the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains found in cell-surface and secreted glycoproteins including Notch and its ligands. Although Notch fucosylation is critical for development, and POFUT1 deficiency leads to human disease, how this enzyme binds and catalyzes the fucosylation of its diverse EGF-like domain substrates has not been determined. Reported here is the X-ray crystal structure of mouse POFUT1 in complex with several EGF-like domains, including EGF12 and EGF26 of Notch. Overall shape complementarity, interactions with invariant atoms of the fucosylation motif and flexible segments on POFUT1 all define its EGF-like-domain binding properties. Using large-scale structural and sequence analysis, we also show that POFUT1 binds EGF-like domains of the hEGF type and that the highly correlated presence of POFUT1 and fucosylatable hEGFs has accompanied animal evolution.
