Biological context of Gdp fucose

  • We report here that mice with an induced null mutation in the FX locus, which encodes an enzyme in the de novo pathway for GDP-fucose synthesis, exhibit a virtually complete deficiency of cellular fucosylation, and variable frequency of intrauterine demise determined by parental FX genotype [11].
  • While both enzymatic activities exhibit similar affinities for a synthetic alpha-(1-3) acceptor and GDP-fucose, they differ with respect to divalent cation requirements, N-ethylmaleimide inhibition, and glycoprotein substrate specificity [12].
  • GDP-fucose synthetase from E. coli is a novel dual function enzyme in that it catalyzes epimerizations and a reduction reaction at the same active site [1].
  • We have described previously a gene transfer system for the isolation of human DNA sequences that determine expression of a mammalian GDP-fucose: beta-D-galactoside-2-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase (alpha-(1,2)-fucosyltransferase) (Ernst, L. K., Rajan, V. P., Larsen, R. D., Ruff, M. M., and Lowe, J. B. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 3436-3447) [13].
  • In our patient the saturable high affinity import of GDP-fucose was deficient, while import of UDP-galactose and the activity of GDPase, which generates the nucleoside phosphate required for antiport of GDP-fucose, were normal [2].
 

Anatomical context of Gdp fucose

  • A defect in GDP-fucose transport into the lumen of the Golgi apparatus has been recently identified in a patient affected by leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II syndrome (Lubke, T., Marquardt, T., von Figura, K., and Korner, C. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 25986-25989) [14].
  • Pea microsomes contain an alpha-fucosyltransferase that incorporates fucose from GDP-fucose into xyloglucan, adding it preferentially to the 2-O-position of the galactosyl residue closest to the reducing end of the repeating subunit [15].
  • Both mutant and normal cytosols are also able to alpha-fucosylate a type 1 glycolipid substrate (8-methoxycarbonyloctyl-Gal beta 1-3 beta GlcNAc), but not related substrates, with Km values for the type 1 glycolipid of 0.99 mM and for GDP-fucose of 1.6 microM [16].
  • The enzyme that adds O-fucose to epidermal growth factor-like repeats, GDP-fucose protein O-fucosyltransferase (O-FucT-1), was purified previously from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells [17].
  • We have found that a readily accessible, partially purified Le-FucT from human milk, which normally uses GDP-fucose (a 6-deoxy sugar) as the donor for the transfer of a single fucose residue, will also transfer a fucose residue substituted on C-6 by a very large sterically demanding structure, in this instance, a synthetic blood group antigen [18].
