Abstract excerpt
ALG2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes the glycosyltransferase that mannosylates Man2GlcNAc2-dolichol diphosphate (PP-Dol) and Man1GlcNAc2-PP-Dol to form Man3GlcNAc2-PP-Dol. The genomic DNA and cDNA encoding an ALG2 homologue were cloned from the zygomycete fungus, Rhizomucor pusillus, and their nucleotide sequences were determined. The cloned cDNA under the control of the yeast GAL1 promoter complemented the...
