IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 2.4.1.401

Accepted name: tryptophan C-mannosyltransferase

Reaction: dolichyl β-D-mannosyl phosphate + L-tryptophyl-[protein] = dolichyl phosphate + 2-C-(α-D-mannosyl)-L-tryptophyl-[protein]

Other name(s): Dpy-19; dumpy-19; DPY19L1; DPY19L3

Systematic name: dolichyl β-D-mannosyl-phosphate:L-tryptophyl-[protein] 2-C-D-mannosyltransferase (configuration-inverting)

Comments: This enzyme transfers a mannose to the first tryptophan in a WxxW or WxxC consensus sequon of acceptor proteins and is related to the oligosaccharyltransferase family involved in protein N-glycosylation, which utilizes a dolichol diphosphate-linked oligosaccharide as the donor (EC 2.4.99.18, dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide—protein glycotransferase). Enzymes from Caenorhabditis elegans and mammals have been characterized.
