Isolation of null alleles of the Caenorhabditis elegans gly-12, gly-13 and gly-14 genes, all of which encode UDP-GlcNAc: alpha-3-D-mannoside beta1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I activity.

Abstract excerpt
UDP-GlcNAc: alpha-3-D-mannoside beta1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GnT I) is a Golgi-resident enzyme which transfers a GlcNAc residue in beta1,2 linkage to the Manalpha1,3Manbeta-terminus of (Manalpha1,6(Manalpha1,3)Manalpha1,6)(Manalpha1,3)Manbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,4GlcNAc-Asn-protein, thereby initiating the synthesis of hybrid N-glycans. Three Caenorhabditis elegans genes homologous to mammalian GnT I...
