Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Catalyzes the addition of fucose in alpha 1-6 linkage to the first GlcNAc residue, next to the peptide chains in N-glycans (PubMed:15604090). The addition is prevented if the GlcNAc residue is already fucosylated (PubMed:15604090). Involved in susceptibility to the nematotoxic C.cinerea galectin Cgl2, likely by contributing to the synthesis of core alpha-1,6-fucosylated N-glycans to which Cgl2 binds (PubMed:20062796).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N(4)-{beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-beta-D-Man-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc}-L-asparaginyl-[protein] + GDP-beta-L-fucose = an N(4)-{beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-beta-D-Man-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->4)-[alpha-L-Fuc-(1->6)]-beta-D-GlcNAc}-L-asparaginyl-[protein] + GDP + H(+)COFACTOR May also use Ca(2+). The enzyme has substantial activity without divalent cations.ACTIVITY REGULATION Inhibited by Fe(3+), Ni(2+) and Cu(2+).BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Optimum pH is 6-7.5.PATHWAY Protein modification; protein glycosylation.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Membrane-bound form in trans cisternae of Golgi.SIMILARITY Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 23 family.
