PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • N-terminal region of ALG14 is required for direct interaction with ALG7
  • C-terminal three AAs of ALG14 are required for maintaining the integrity of ALG13/ALG14 complex, and this depends on their hydrophobicity
  • secondary structure
  • conserved alpha-helix involved in the second membrane association site that contributes to an integral interaction and protein stability

    text
  • concentrated at the muscle motor endplates
  • ALG14 recruits cytosolic ALG13 to the ER membrane through interaction between their C-termini
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may function as a membrane anchor that recruits ALG13 to the cytosolic face of the ER
  • membrane protein that recruits the soluble ALG13 catalytic subunit from the cytosol to the face of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane where this reaction occurs
  • second step of eukaryotic N-linked glycosylation in endoplasmic reticulum is catalyzed by an UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transferase that is comprised of two subunits, ALG13 and ALG14
  • organizes the formation of a multiglycosyltransferase complex involved in initiation of lipid-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis

  • interaction between ALG13 and 14 is crucial for UDP-GlcNAc transferase activity, so formation of the ALG13/14 complex is likely to play a key role in the regulation of N-glycosylation
