phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosyltransferase. This family is most closely related to the GT4 family of glycosyltransferases and named after PimA in Propionibacterium freudenreichii, which is involved in the biosynthesis of phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosides (PIM) which are early precursors in the biosynthesis of lipomannans (LM) and lipoarabinomannans (LAM), and catalyzes the addition of a mannosyl residue from GDP-D-mannose (GDP-Man) to the position 2 of the carrier lipid phosphatidyl-myo-inositol (PI) to generate a phosphatidyl-myo-inositol bearing an alpha-1,2-linked mannose residue (PIM1). Glycosyltransferases catalyze the transfer of sugar moieties from activated donor molecules to specific acceptor molecules, forming glycosidic bonds. The acceptor molecule can be a lipid, a protein, a heterocyclic compound, or another carbohydrate residue. This group of glycosyltransferases is most closely related to the previously defined glycosyltransferase family 1 (GT1). The members of this family may transfer UDP, ADP, GDP, or CMP linked sugars. The diverse enzymatic activities among members of this family reflect a wide range of biological functions. The protein structure available for this family has the GTB topology, one of the two protein topologies observed for nucleotide-sugar-dependent glycosyltransferases. GTB proteins have distinct N- and C- terminal domains each containing a typical Rossmann fold. The two domains have high structural homology despite minimal sequence homology. The large cleft that separates the two domains includes the catalytic center and permits a high degree of flexibility. The members of this family are found mainly in certain bacteria and archaea.

Bordetella parapertussis WlbH and similar proteins. This family is most closely related to the GT4 family of glycosyltransferases. Staphylococcus aureus CapJ may be involved in capsule polysaccharide biosynthesis. WlbH in Bordetella parapertussis has been shown to be required for the biosynthesis of a trisaccharide that, when attached to the B. pertussis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) core (band B), generates band A LPS.

GT4_CapM-like capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis glycosyltransferase CapM and similar proteins. This family is most closely related to the GT4 family of glycosyltransferases. CapM in Staphylococcus aureus is required for the synthesis of type 1 capsular polysaccharides.

Glycosyl transferases group 1. Mutations in this domain of PIGA lead to disease (Paroxysmal Nocturnal haemoglobinuria). Members of this family transfer activated sugars to a variety of substrates, including glycogen, Fructose-6-phosphate and lipopolysaccharides. Members of this family transfer UDP, ADP, GDP or CMP linked sugars. The eukaryotic glycogen synthases may be distant members of this family.

GtrA-like protein. Members of this family are predicted to be integral membrane proteins with three or four transmembrane spans. They are involved in the synthesis of cell surface polysaccharides. The GtrA family are a subset of this family. GtrA is predicted to be an integral membrane protein with 4 transmembrane spans. It is involved is in O antigen modification by Shigella flexneri bacteriophage X (SfX), but does not determine the specificity of glucosylation. Its function remains unknown, but it may play a role in translocation of undecaprenyl phosphate linked glucose (UndP-Glc) across the cytoplasmic membrane. Another member of this family is a DTDP-glucose-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose reductase, which catalyzes the conversion of dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose to dTDP-D-fucose, which is involved in the biosynthesis of the serotype-specific polysaccharide antigen of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans Y4 (serotype b). This family also includes the teichoic acid glycosylation protein, GtcA, which is a serotype-specific protein in some Listeria innocua and monocytogenes strains. Its exact function is not known, but it is essential for decoration of cell wall teichoic acids with glucose and galactose.
