Alpha 1,6-fucosyltransferase (Fut8) transfers a fucose moiety from GDP-fucose to the reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine of the core structure of Asn-linked oligosaccharides, in a process termed core fucosylation. Core fucosylation is essential for the function of growth factor receptors. O-fucosyltransferase-like proteins are GDP-fucose dependent enzymes with similarities to the family 1 glycosyltransferases (GT1). They are soluble ER proteins that may be proteolytically cleaved from a membrane-associated preprotein, and are involved in the O-fucosylation of protein substrates, the core fucosylation of growth factor receptors, and other processes.

>PF10250 O-FucT: GDP-fucose protein O-fucosyltransferase; InterPro: IPR019378 This is a family of conserved proteins representing the enzyme responsible for adding O-fucose to EGF (epidermal growth factor-like) repeats
Six highly conserved cysteines are present as well as a DXD-like motif (ERD), conserved in mammals, Drosophila, and Caenorhabditis elegans. Both features are characteristic of several glycosyltransferase families. The enzyme is a membrane-bound protein released by proteolysis and, as for most glycosyltransferases, is strongly activated by manganese []. ; PDB: 3ZY6_A 3ZY3_A 3ZY5_A 3ZY2_A 3ZY4_A.
>PF05830 NodZ: Nodulation protein Z (NodZ); InterPro: IPR008716 The nodulation genes of Rhizobia are regulated by the nodD gene product in response to host-produced flavonoids and appear to encode enzymes involved in the production of a lipo-chitose signal molecule required for infection and nodule formation
NodZ is required for the addition of a 2-O-methylfucose residue to the terminal reducing N-acetylglucosamine of the nodulation signal. This substitution is essential for the biological activity of this molecule. Mutations in nodZ result in defective nodulation. nodZ represents a unique nodulation gene that is not under the control of NodD and yet is essential for the synthesis of an active nodulation signal [].; GO: 0016758 transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups, 0009312 oligosaccharide biosynthetic process, 0009877 nodulation; PDB: 3SIX_A 2HLH_A 2HHC_A 3SIW_A 2OCX_A.
>PF03254 XG_FTase: Xyloglucan fucosyltransferase; InterPro: IPR004938 Plant cell walls are crucial for development, signal transduction, and disease resistance in plants
Cell walls are made of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectins. Xyloglucan (XG), the principal load-bearing hemicellulose of dicotyledonous plants, has a terminal fucosyl residue. This fucosyltransferase adds this residue []. ; GO: 0008107 galactoside 2-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase activity, 0042546 cell wall biogenesis, 0016020 membrane
