Gene Description

PIGV (GPI alpha-1,6-mannosyltransferase 2; GPI mannosyltransferase II, GPI-MT-II) is a multi-pass endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein that catalyzes transfer of the second mannose, via an alpha-1,6 linkage, from dolichyl-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) onto the growing glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) intermediate (Man1-GlcN-(acyl)PI to Man2-GlcN-(acyl)PI). This is one of four Dol-P-Man-dependent mannosyltransferase steps in GPI-anchor biosynthesis, occurring on the lumenal face of the ER membrane; the resulting GPI anchor is used to attach many proteins to the cell surface. PIGV belongs to CAZy glycosyltransferase family GT76 (Pfam Mannosyl_trans2 / InterPro PIG-V/Gpi18) and is conserved across eukaryotes, with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ortholog GPI18/YBR004C. Loss-of-function variants cause hyperphosphatasia with impaired intellectual development syndrome 1 (HPMRS1, Mabry syndrome), characterized by elevated serum alkaline phosphatase, intellectual disability, seizures, hypotonia, and facial dysmorphism.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0005789 endoplasmic reticulum membrane
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) localization of PIGV activity to the ER membrane. PIGV is a multi-pass ER membrane enzyme whose GPI-MT-II activity acts on the lumenal face of the ER, so ER membrane is the correct site of action. Consistent with direct experimental localization (PMID:15623507) and UniProt subcellular location.
Reason: Correct and specific cellular component for this ER-resident GPI biosynthetic enzyme; supported by direct experimental evidence in addition to the IBA inference.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15623507
Human PIG-V encodes a 493-amino acid, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident protein with eight putative transmembrane regions.
GO:0120563 dol-P-Man:Man(1)GlcN-acyl-PI alpha-1,6-mannosyltransferase activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) assignment of the specific GPI-MT-II catalytic activity, the transfer of the second mannose via an alpha-1,6 bond from Dol-P-Man onto the Man1-GlcN-(acyl)PI GPI intermediate. This is the exact enzymatic activity of PIGV and the most informative molecular function term available; it is corroborated by direct human experimental work (PMID:15623507) and yeast/human complementation (PMID:15720390).
Reason: This is the core molecular function of PIGV, at the correct level of specificity.

GO:0031501 mannosyltransferase complex
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) assignment of PIGV to a mannosyltransferase complex. Mammalian GPI-MT-II activity is attributed to PIG-V acting as the catalyst or as a component of the catalytic complex, so complex membership is plausible. However, the composition of a distinct PIGV mannosyltransferase complex in human is not experimentally well established here, so this is retained as a supporting (non-core) annotation rather than a defining function.
Reason: Reasonable at the phylogenetic level and consistent with GPI-MT-II being a component of a catalytic assembly, but it is a supporting structural annotation, not the core catalytic/process function of the gene.
Supporting Evidence:

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) assignment to GPI anchor biosynthesis. PIGV catalyzes the seventh step of the GPI-anchor biosynthetic pathway (second-mannose addition), so this is the correct core biological process.
Reason: Core biological process of PIGV; strongly supported by experimental (PMID:15623507, PMID:15720390) and pathway evidence.

IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: InterPro2GO (IEA) mapping from the PIG-V/Gpi18 domain (IPR007315) to alpha-1,6-mannosyltransferase activity. This is a correct but less specific parent of the exact PIGV activity (GO:0120563); PIGV forms the alpha-1,6 mannosyl linkage.
Reason: Accurate parent molecular-function term; consistent with the specific GPI-MT-II activity but broader. Kept as a correct (non-core) generalization.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Bare 'protein binding' from a large-scale yeast two-hybrid neurodegenerative-disease interactome screen (interactions reported with TGFBR2, CBX5, and SERPINH1). The term is uninformative about molecular function and the proposed partners are not expected physiological interactors of an ER-lumenal GPI biosynthetic enzyme.
Reason: Bare protein binding provides no functional insight and derives from a high-throughput Y2H screen; per curation policy this is marked as over-annotated rather than removed.
