Gene Description

alg-2 encodes an endoplasmic-reticulum membrane GT4-family GDP-mannose-dependent mannosyltransferase. By orthology to characterized fungal and human ALG2 proteins, it is expected to act during the cytoplasmic phase of dolichol-linked oligosaccharide assembly for N-linked glycosylation, adding the alpha-1,3-linked second mannose to Man1GlcNAc2-PP-dolichol and the alpha-1,6-linked third mannose to Man2GlcNAc2-PP-dolichol.

Summary: The PTHR45918 PAINT node correctly places Neurospora alg-2 in the conserved ALG2 bifunctional mannosyltransferase clade, but this parent-level alpha-1,3-mannosyltransferase term should be refined to the dolichol-linked, Man1GlcNAc2-PP-Dol-specific reaction.
Reason: GO:0000033 is true but generic. The same protein is also annotated to GO:0004378, which names the acceptor used in ALG2's alpha-1,3 mannosyltransferase reaction.

The PAINT node is correctly scoped to the ALG2 clade; only the GO term granularity is too broad for the Man1GlcNAc2-PP-Dol reaction.

Summary: Combined automated transfer of the EC 2.4.1.132/RHEA:29515 ALG2 reaction. This is the first of alg-2's two core mannosyltransferase activities and matches the UniProt catalytic annotation inferred from S. cerevisiae Alg2.

Summary: Manual similarity transfer from S. cerevisiae Alg2 of the Man1GlcNAc2-PP-Dol alpha-1,3-mannosyltransferase activity. Neurospora alg-2 falls in the same PANTHER ALG2 subfamily and UniProt assigns the same conserved reaction from the yeast protein.

Summary: PAINT inference to the endomembrane system. alg-2 does act in the endomembrane system, but the propagated location is too general for an ER membrane mannosyltransferase.
Reason: The IBA location should be refined to GO:0005789, matching the ER membrane localization transferred from S. cerevisiae and the UniProt subcellular-location mapping.

The PAINT node is correct for the ALG2 clade, but the endomembrane term is a broad ancestor of the ER membrane localization.
