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.

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: Electronic (RHEA/EC) assignment of the activity that adds the seventh mannose onto
Man(6)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol (EC 2.4.1.259, RHEA 29531). This is the second core catalytic
activity of ALG9 and is independently supported experimentally.
action: ACCEPT
reason: EC 2.4.1.259 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: Reactome traceable assignment placing ALG9 in the biosynthesis of the dolichol
lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) N-glycan precursor. This is the most precise core
biological process for ALG9.

review:
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.
action: ACCEPT
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.
