Abstract

Background: The Golgi docking mechanisms for transport vesicles carrying glycosyltransferases are largely unknown. Results: C1GalT1 utilizes GM130-GRASP65 when GRASP65 is available but GM130-Giantin without GRASP65, whereas C2GnT-M employs Giantin for Golgi targeting. Conclusion: The Golgi-targeting mechanism is glycosyltransferase-specific. Significance: Understanding the Golgi-targeting mechanisms of glycosyltransferases may help uncover altered glycosylation in some diseases.
