EC 2.4.2.61

Accepted name: α-dystroglycan β1,4-xylosyltransferase

Reaction: UDP-α-D-xylose + 3-O-[Rib-ol-P-Rib-ol-P-3-β-D-GalNAc-(1→3)-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→4)-O-6-P-α-D-Man]-Ser/Thr-[protein] = UDP + 3-O-[β-D-Xyl-(1→4)-Rib-ol-P-Rib-ol-P-3-β-D-GalNAc-(1→3)-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→4)-O-6-P-α-D-Man]-Ser/Thr-[protein]

Other name(s): TMEM5 (gene name)

Systematic name: UDP-α-D-xylose:3-O-[Rib-ol-P-Rib-ol-P-3-β-D-GalNAc-(1→3)-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→4)-O-6-P-α-D-Man]-Ser/Thr-[protein] xylosyltransferase

Comments: This eukaryotic enzyme catalyses a step in the biosynthesis of the glycan moiety of the membrane protein α-dystroglycan. It is specific for the second ribitol 5-phosphate in the nascent glycan chain as acceptor.
