Description
  • Dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase (DPM), a heterotrimeric protein embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, mediates the transfer of mannose (from cytosolic GDP-mannose) to dolichyl phosphate (DOLP) to form dolichyl-phosphate-mannose (DOLPman). The first subunit of the heterotrimer (DPM1) appears to be the actual catalyst, and the other two subunits (DPM2 and 3) appear to stabilise it (Maeda et al. 2000). Defects in DPM3 can cause congenital disorder of glycosylation 1o (DPM3-CDG, CDG1o; MIM:612937), a multisystem disorder caused by a defect in glycoprotein biosynthesis and characterised by under-glycosylated serum glycoproteins. CDG type 1 diseases result in a wide variety of clinical features, such as defects in the nervous system development, psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic features, hypotonia, coagulation disorders, and immunodeficiency (Lefeber et al. 2009).

    Four biosynthetic pathways depend on DOLPman; N-glycosylation, O-mannosylation, C-Mannosylation and GPI-anchor biosynthesis. A defect in DPM3 strongly reduces O-mannosylation of alpha-dystroglycan, explaining the clinical phenotype of muscular dystrophy and linking the congenital disorders of glycosylation with the dystroglycanopathies (Lefeber et al. 2009).
