Gene Description

DPAGT1 (GlcNAc-1-P transferase, GPT; EC 2.7.8.15) is a polytopic (10-transmembrane) endoplasmic reticulum membrane enzyme that catalyzes the first and committed step of dolichol-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) assembly for protein N-linked glycosylation. On the cytoplasmic face of the ER membrane it transfers N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate (GlcNAc-1-P) from cytosolic UDP-GlcNAc onto the carrier lipid dolichyl phosphate (Dol-P), yielding GlcNAc-PP-dolichol (Dol-PP-GlcNAc), the membrane-anchored precursor onto which further sugars are added to build the 14-sugar N-glycan that is subsequently transferred to nascent proteins by oligosaccharyltransferase. The enzyme requires Mg2+, functions as a homodimer, and is a member of the polyprenyl-phosphate N-acetylhexosamine-1-phosphate transferase (PNPT) / glycosyltransferase family 4. It is the eukaryotic target of the nucleoside antibiotic tunicamycin, which acts as a competitive inhibitor mimicking UDP-GlcNAc. Loss-of-function variants cause DPAGT1-congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ij (CDG1J) and a limb-girdle form of congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS13, with tubular aggregates); DPAGT1 overexpression contributes to aberrant N-glycosylation in oral cancer.

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) assignment of the defining GlcNAc-1-P transferase molecular function. This is the correct, well-supported core catalytic activity of DPAGT1/GPT and matches abundant experimental evidence in human and orthologs.
Reason: This is the core molecular function of DPAGT1, confirmed enzymatically and structurally in human and by cross-species conservation. The IBA is at the correct level of specificity.

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MODIFY
Summary: Phylogenetic assignment placing DPAGT1 activity in a membrane. Correct but generic; DPAGT1 is specifically a multi-pass endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein.
Reason: The essence (membrane-embedded catalysis) is correct, but 'membrane' is a high-level term. The informative location is the ER membrane (GO:0005789), where the enzyme is a multi-pass integral membrane protein acting on the cytosolic leaflet.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: IntAct IPI annotation from a large-scale neurodegenerative-disease interactome (yeast two-hybrid) screen, recording a single interaction with huntingtin (HTT, UniProtKB:P42858). 'Protein binding' conveys no specific molecular function for DPAGT1.
Reason: Per curation guidelines, bare 'protein binding' is uninformative and should be avoided as a function term. The interaction derives from a high-throughput ND-focused interactome screen and does not establish a specific molecular function or a validated biological role for DPAGT1. Retained (not removed) as an IPI-supported interaction record but flagged as over-annotation.

Summary: Sequence-similarity transfer of identical (self) protein binding. DPAGT1 is a homodimer, so self-association is real, but this describes a quaternary/ structural property rather than the catalytic core function.
Reason: Homodimerization is experimentally supported (crystallized as a homodimer; UniProt SUBUNIT: Homodimer), so 'identical protein binding' is valid. It is retained as a non-core structural feature rather than the defining function.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Annotation to the UDP-GlcNAc:LYSOSOMAL-ENZYME GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase activity, citing Varki et al. 1982 on I-cell disease (mucolipidosis II) and pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy heterozygote enzyme assays. That activity belongs to the distinct lysosomal-enzyme-targeting phosphotransferase (encoded by GNPTAB/GNPTG), not to DPAGT1. DPAGT1 transfers GlcNAc-1-P to the lipid dolichyl phosphate, not to lysosomal enzymes (mannose-6-phosphate marker formation).
Reason: This molecular function (GO:0003976) is a different enzyme's activity; the cited paper is entirely about I-cell disease / pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy (mucolipidosis II/III), which are caused by GNPTAB/GNPTG deficiency, not DPAGT1. The annotation conflates two similarly named but mechanistically distinct GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferases (lipid-acceptor DPAGT1 vs protein/lysosomal-enzyme acceptor GNPTAB). Per policy this experimental annotation is flagged as an over-annotation of a function that is not DPAGT1's rather than removed.

  yielding GlcNAc-PP-dolichol (Dol-PP-GlcNAc), the membrane-anchored precursor onto which
  further sugars are added to build the 14-sugar N-glycan that is subsequently transferred
  to nascent proteins by oligosaccharyltransferase. The enzyme requires Mg2+, functions as
  a homodimer, and is a member of the polyprenyl-phosphate N-acetylhexosamine-1-phosphate
  transferase (PNPT) / glycosyltransferase family 4. It is the eukaryotic target of the
  nucleoside antibiotic tunicamycin, which acts as a competitive inhibitor mimicking
  UDP-GlcNAc. Loss-of-function variants cause DPAGT1-congenital disorder of glycosylation
  type Ij (CDG1J) and a limb-girdle form of congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS13, with
  tubular aggregates); DPAGT1 overexpression contributes to aberrant N-glycosylation in
  oral cancer.
