Reaction catalysed
GDP-beta-L-fucose + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R <=> GDP + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-(alpha-L-fucosyl-(1->4))-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-R
Comment(s)
  • Product of the Lewis blood group gene.
  • Normally acts on a glycoconjugate where R (see CA line) is a glycoprotein or glycolipid.
  • Although it is a 4-fucosyltransferase, it has a persistent 3-fucosyltransferase activity toward the glucose residue in free lactose.
  • Fucosylates on O-4 of an N-acetylglucosamine that carries a galactosyl group on O-3, unlike EC 2.4.1.152 which fucosylates on O-3 of an N-acetylglucosamine that carries a galactosyl group on O-4.
  • Enzymes catalyzing the 4-alpha-fucosylation of the GlcNAc in beta-D- Gal-(1->3)-beta-GlcNAc sequences (with some activity also as 3-alpha- fucosyltransferases) are present in plants, where the function in vivo is the modification of N-glycans.
  • In addition, the fucTa gene of Helicobacter strain UA948 encodes a fucosyltransferase with both 3-alpha- and 4-alpha-fucosyltransferase activities.
