UniProt functional annotation for Q8T045

UniProt code: Q8T045.

Organism: Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha; Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila; Sophophora.
 
Function: Protein O-glucosyltransferase. Catalyzes the reaction that attaches glucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to a conserved serine residue found in the consensus sequence C-X-S-X-[PA]-C in epidermal growth factor-like repeats (PubMed:27428513). Regulates Notch signaling by glucosylating Notch in the ER, glucosylation is required for the correct folding and cleavage of Notch. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18243100, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27428513}.
 
Pathway: Protein modification; protein glycosylation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27428513}.
Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum lumen {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10138, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18243100}.
Developmental stage: Expressed both maternally and zygotically. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18243100}.
Disruption phenotype: Flies exhibit a temperature-dependent loss of Notch signaling, resulting in bristle loss (PubMed:18243100). Defects in muscle development (PubMed:27807076). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18243100, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27807076}.
Similarity: Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 90 family. {ECO:0000305}.
