The Drosophila melanogaster brainiac protein is a glycolipid-specific beta 1,3N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 6 Sept 2002

Müller Reto, Altmann Friedrich, Zhou Dapeng, Hennet Thierry

Abstract excerpt

Mutations at the Drosophila melanogaster brainiac locus lead to defective formation of the follicular epithelium during oogenesis and to neural hyperplasia. The brainiac gene encodes a type II transmembrane protein structurally similar to mammalian beta1,3-glycosyltransferases. We have cloned the brainiac gene from D. melanogaster genomic DNA and expressed it as a FLAG-tagged recombinant protein in Sf9 insect...
