    Background

    Notch signaling is essential for lymphocyte development and myelopoiesis (1,2,4,6). Notch receptors are modified by O-fucosylation catalyzed by the enzyme protein O-fucosyltransferase 1 (POFUT1) (1,2,4). POFUT1 fucosylates epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains found at the cell surface and in secreted glycoproteins, including Notch and its ligands. POFUT1 catalyzes the reaction attaching fucose via O-glycosidic linkage to conserved serine or threonine residues in EGF-like domains (2,7). This particular Notch modification is critical for development and cell fate; POFUT1 deficiency leads to aberrant signaling and human disease (3,5,8,9). In addition, mouse embryonic stem cells lacking POFUT1 have normal levels of Notch receptors at the cell surface, but these receptors do not bind Notch ligands or display proper Notch signaling (4,6).
