Gene Description

ALG9 is a Dol-P-Man-dependent alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase of the glycosyltransferase 22 (GT22) family that acts in the assembly of the dolichol-linked oligosaccharide (LLO), the 14-sugar glycan precursor used for protein N-linked glycosylation. It is a multi-pass endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein whose catalytic mannose-transfer steps occur on the lumenal side of the ER membrane. Using dolichyl-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man, not GDP-mannose) as the mannose donor, ALG9 catalyses two sequential lumenal reactions in LLO assembly. It adds the seventh alpha-1,2-linked mannose onto Man(6)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol (EC 2.4.1.259) and the ninth alpha-1,2-linked mannose onto Man(8)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol (EC 2.4.1.261). Loss of ALG9 function causes intracellular accumulation of GlcNAc(2)Man(6) and GlcNAc(2)Man(8) lipid-linked intermediates and hypoglycosylation of serum glycoproteins. Biallelic pathogenic variants cause ALG9-CDG (congenital disorder of glycosylation type Il, CDG-Il) and the severe skeletal dysplasia Gillessen-Kaesbach-Nishimura syndrome.

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) assignment of the parent alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase molecular function. This is correct but general; ALG9's two experimentally defined activities are the more specific Dol-P-Man Man(6/8)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol terms (GO:0052926, GO:0052918).
Reason: The activity is correct for ALG9 but is the generic parent of the two EC-specific terms it actually catalyses. The specific terms capture the exact substrate and donor and are the core molecular functions; this broad term is retained as accurate-but-general.

Summary: ALG9 is a multi-pass ER membrane protein and is active in the ER membrane, consistent with the phylogenetic assignment and with UniProt subcellular location.
Reason: ER membrane localization is well supported. UniProt records the subcellular location as ER membrane, multi-pass membrane protein, and the topology assigns seven transmembrane helices; the IBA assignment is at the correct level.

ACCEPT
Summary: ALG9 builds the LLO glycan precursor that is transferred en bloc to nascent proteins, so it is involved in protein N-linked glycosylation. Correct but broader than the LLO biosynthetic-process term.
Reason: The LLO that ALG9 helps assemble is the substrate for protein N-glycosylation, and ALG9 deficiency causes hypoglycosylation of serum glycoproteins (CDG). The IBA assignment is appropriate at this level.

Summary: InterPro2GO mapping to the generic glycosyltransferase activity from the GT22 and Glyco_transf_22 domain (IPR005599). Correct but very general.
Reason: The domain-based mapping is accurate (ALG9 is a glycosyltransferase) but is a broad grandparent of the specific mannosyltransferase activities ALG9 actually catalyses. Kept as accurate-but-general rather than removed.

Summary: Electronic (RHEA/EC) assignment of the activity that adds the ninth mannose onto Man(8)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol (EC 2.4.1.261, RHEA 29539). This is one of the two core catalytic activities of ALG9 and is independently supported experimentally.
Reason: EC 2.4.1.261 is one of ALG9's two experimentally established catalytic activities (UniProt CATALYTIC ACTIVITY, ECO 0000269 PubMed 15148656 and PubMed 15945070); the RHEA/EC electronic mapping correctly assigns this specific term.

Summary: Curator inference (IC) that ALG9 is active on the lumenal side of the ER membrane. The Dol-P-Man-dependent mannose additions catalysed by ALG9 occur in the ER lumen, so this refinement of the ER membrane location is well justified.
Reason: LLO assembly finishes in the ER lumen, and ALG9's mannose-transfer reactions are lumenal (UniProt FUNCTION; Reactome). This IC annotation appropriately specifies the lumenal side of the ER membrane as the site of catalysis.

Summary of verified biology

ALG9 is an ER-lumenal alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase in the dolichol-linked oligosaccharide (LLO)
assembly pathway for protein N-glycosylation. It catalyses two sequential lumenal steps using
Dol-P-Man (dolichyl-phosphate-mannose, NOT GDP-Man) as the mannose donor:

  • Adds the 7th mannose onto Man(6)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol → EC 2.4.1.259 → GO:0052926
    (RHEA:29531). Reactome R-HSA-446215.
  • Adds the 9th mannose onto Man(8)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol → EC 2.4.1.261 → GO:0052918
    (RHEA:29539). Reactome R-HSA-446216.

Multi-pass ER membrane protein (7 TM helices per UniProt topology); catalytic mannose transfer
occurs on the lumenal side of the ER membrane. GT22 family (CAZy), Glyco_transf_22 Pfam,
InterPro IPR005599.

Disease

  • ALG9-CDG (CDG-Il / CDG type IL), MIM:608776. Frank et al. 2004 (PMID:15148656, E523K) and
    Weinstein et al. 2005 (PMID:15945070, p.Y286C in the abstract's numbering). LLO profiling
    shows accumulation of GlcNAc2Man6 and GlcNAc2Man8 lipid-linked structures — exactly the two
    substrates whose downstream mannose is missing when ALG9 is defective.
  • Gillessen-Kaesbach-Nishimura syndrome (GIKANIS), MIM:263210 — Tham et al. 2016
    (PMID:25966638), severe skeletal dysplasia / polycystic kidney disease.
  • DIBD1 / bipolar association (PMID:12030331 translocation) was later refuted (PMID:16859551).

Annotation review decisions

  • GOA carries BOTH EC-specific MF terms (GO:0052926 Man6→7th; GO:0052918 Man8→9th) plus the
    parent GO:0000026 (alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase activity). The two specific terms are the
    core MFs; GO:0000026 (parent) and GO:0016757 (glycosyltransferase activity, generic) are
    correct-but-general.
  • BP: GO:0006488 (dolichol-linked oligosaccharide biosynthetic process) is the most precise
    core BP; GO:0006487 (protein N-linked glycosylation) is the correct broader outcome.
  • CC: GO:0005789 (ER membrane) core; GO:0098553 (lumenal side of ER membrane) is a precise
    IC-supported refinement consistent with lumenal catalysis; GO:0016020 (membrane) HDA is
    correct but general (over-annotation).

description: >-
  ALG9 is a Dol-P-Man-dependent alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase of the glycosyltransferase 22
  (GT22) family that acts in the assembly of the dolichol-linked oligosaccharide (LLO), the
  14-sugar glycan precursor used for protein N-linked glycosylation. It is a multi-pass
  endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein whose catalytic mannose-transfer steps occur on the
  lumenal side of the ER membrane. Using dolichyl-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man, not GDP-mannose)
  as the mannose donor, ALG9 catalyses two sequential lumenal reactions in LLO assembly. It adds
  the seventh alpha-1,2-linked mannose onto Man(6)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol (EC 2.4.1.259) and the
  ninth alpha-1,2-linked mannose onto Man(8)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol (EC 2.4.1.261). Loss of ALG9
  function causes intracellular accumulation of GlcNAc(2)Man(6) and GlcNAc(2)Man(8) lipid-linked
  intermediates and hypoglycosylation of serum glycoproteins. Biallelic pathogenic variants cause
  ALG9-CDG (congenital disorder of glycosylation type Il, CDG-Il) and the severe skeletal
  dysplasia Gillessen-Kaesbach-Nishimura syndrome.

      N-glycosylation IMP annotations.
