Abstract excerpt
A defect of protein O-mannosylation causes congenital muscular dystrophy with brain malformation and structural eye abnormalities, so-called Walker-Warburg syndrome. Protein O-mannosylation is catalyzed by protein O-mannosyltransferase 1 (POMT1) and its homologue, POMT2. Coexpression of POMT1 and POMT2 is required to show O-mannosylation activity. Here we have shown that POMT1 forms a complex with POMT2 and the...
