General annotation (Comments)

Function

Has both beta-1,3-glucuronic acid and beta-1,4-N-acetylgalactosamine transferase activity. Transfers glucuronic acid (GlcUA) from UDP-GlcUA and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to the non-reducing end of the elongating chondroitin polymer By similarity. Sqv-5 and pfc-1 are indispensable for the biosynthesis of chondroitin. Chondroitin is involved in the organogenesis of the vulva and maturation of the gonad and may be involved in distal tip cell migration and neural development. Glycosyltransferase activity is weak. Ref.1

Catalytic activity

UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine + beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminyl-proteoglycan = UDP + N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminyl-proteoglycan.

UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate + N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucuronosyl-proteoglycan = UDP + beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucuronosyl-proteoglycan.

Cofactor

Divalent cations By similarity.

Subcellular location

Golgi apparatusGolgi stack membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein Probable.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in seam cells. Also in vulva and distal tip cells of the growing gonad arms from L3 through to the young adult stage. Ref.1

Disruption phenotype

Reversion of cytokinesis. Ref.1

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase family.
