GDP-fucose protein O-fucosyltransferase and related proteins. 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.

Alpha 1,6-fucosyltransferase similar to Bradyrhizobium NodZ. Bradyrhizobium NodZ is an alpha 1,6-fucosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of the nodulation factor, a lipo-chitooligosaccharide formed by three-to-six beta-1,4-linked N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) residues and a fatty acid acyl group attached to the nitrogen atom at the non-reducing end. NodZ transfers L-fucose from the GDP-beta-L-fucose donor to the reducing residue of the chitin oligosaccharide backbone, before the attachment of a fatty acid group.

Xyloglucan fucosyltransferase. 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.
