Gene Description

alg3 (SPAC7D4.06c; UniProt Q9Y7I4) encodes the Dol-P-Man:Man5GlcNAc2-PP-Dol alpha-1,3-mannosyltransferase Alg3, which adds the first lumenal mannose after the Man5 intermediate is flipped. alg3 deletion in an och1 background produces truncated N-glycans, a strain used for humanised glycoprotein production. In the lumenal phase of dolichol-linked oligosaccharide (Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-PP-Dol) assembly on the ER membrane, it adds the next sugar to the growing precursor that oligosaccharyltransferase transfers to nascent glycoproteins. Function is assigned by orthology to the S. cerevisiae ALG enzymes.

GO_REF:0000002
TOO GENERAL
Summary: Generic mannosyltransferase; the specific activity is annotated.
Reason: True but entailed by GO:0052925 (Dol-P-Man:Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol alpha-1,3-mannosyltransferase activity), accepted elsewhere in this review. The specific step is assigned by similarity to S. cerevisiae ALG3 (UniProt FUNCTION, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P38179) and is consistent with the S. pombe alg3 deletion, whose N-glycans are truncated to Man5-based M5B structures (PMID:20854854).

Summary: PAINT inference.
Reason: The ER claim holds: UniProt places alg3 in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane by similarity to S. cerevisiae Alg3 (ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P38179), with predicted multi-pass transmembrane helices (ECO:0000255); the ORFeome HDA row independently localizes it to the ER. The organelle term is kept alongside the ER-membrane rows.

Summary: Broad parent of the protein N-linked glycosylation annotated in this review.
Reason: True but entailed by GO:0006487 (protein N-linked glycosylation), accepted elsewhere in this review on S. pombe mutant evidence. The alg3 deletion alters the N-linked oligosaccharides of S. pombe glycoproteins (PMID:20854854), and by similarity to S. cerevisiae ALG3 the enzyme builds the dolichol-linked precursor used in protein N-glycosylation.

Reason: Curated UniProt FUNCTION text, by similarity to S. cerevisiae Alg3 (ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P38179), assigns alpha-1,3 transfer of the first Dol-P-Man-derived mannose onto Man5GlcNAc2-PP-Dol. In S. pombe, deletion of alg3 in an och1 background leaves glycoproteins carrying M5B-based N-glycans (PMID:20854854), the structure expected when this step is missing; that is phenotypic support, not an enzyme assay.
