Application

Application Comment Organism
molecular biology O-fucosylation is dispensable for many Notch signaling events during Drosophila development Drosophila melanogaster

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
R254A expression of a mutant, Ofut1R245A, lacking fucosyltransferase activity, rescues the requirement for Ofut1 in embryonic neurogenesis. Lack of requirement for O-fucosylation is further supported by the absence of embryonic phenotypes in Gmd mutants, which lack all forms of fucosylation. Requirements for O-fucose during imaginal development are evaluated by characterizing clones of cells expressing only Ofut1R245A. These clones phenocopy fringe mutant clones, indicating that the absence of O-fucose is functionally equivalent to the absence of elongated O-fucose Drosophila melanogaster
