Fucosylation of Pre-Notch by POFUT1
In the endoplasmic reticulum, Notch receptor precursors are fucosylated on conserved serine and threonine residues in their EGF repeats. The consensus fucosylation site sequence is C2-X(4-5)-S/T-C3, where C2 and C3 are the second and third cysteine residue within the EGF repeat, and X(4-5) is four to five amino acid residues of any type. Only those fucosylation sites that are conserved between human, mouse and rat Notch isoforms are annotated. Fucosylation is performed by the endoplasmic reticulum resident O-fucosyl transferase POFUT1. Fucosylation by POFUT1, initially discovered in Drosophila, is considered to be an essential step in Notch processing and production of a fully functional receptor. Fucosylation of mammalian Notch proteins was studied by exogenously expressing mouse Notch1 in Chinese hamster ovary cell lines.
