Gene Ontology
GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code. SGD has manually curated and high-throughput GO Annotations, both derived from the literature, as well as computational, or predicted, annotations.

Pathways
Phenotype
Phenotype annotations for a gene are curated single mutant phenotypes that require an observable (e.g., "cell shape"), a qualifier (e.g., "abnormal"), a mutant type (e.g., null), strain background, and a reference. In addition, annotations are classified as classical genetics or high-throughput (e.g., large scale survey, systematic mutation set). Whenever possible, allele information and additional details are provided.

- Summary
- ALG1 encodes a beta-1,4-mannosyltransferase involved in the first step of N-linked glycosylation of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) - the assembly of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO), which then serves as a donor in the second step - the transfer of the oligosaccharide to asparagine residues of nascent polypeptides. The lipid component that anchors the LLO in the ER membrane is dolichol (Dol), a polyisoprenoid molecule composed in yeast of 15-16 isoprene units. The LLO assembly involves sequential additions of two N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), nine mannose (Man), and three glucose (Glc) residues. Alg1p catalyzes the third step in this process, the addition of the first Man molecule to Dol-PP-GlcNAc2, the product of two earlier steps catalyzed by UDP-GlcNAc transferases Alg7p and Alg13p-Alg14p. The subsequent steps involve the addition of two branching Man residues by an alpha-1,3- and alpha-1,6-mannosyltransferase Alg2p, followed by two consecutive additions of Man by an alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase Alg11p. All these steps take place on the cytoplasmic side of the ER membrane and the product, Dol-PP-GlcNAc2-Man5, is then flipped to the ER lumen by an unknown flippase. In the ER lumen, the oligosaccharide chain is elongated by four more Man residues, catalyzed by mannosyltransferases Alg3p, Alg12p and Alg9p, and three Glc residues, catalyzed by glucosyltransferases Alg6p, Alg8p and Alg10p. The final product delivers the 14 glycan molecule to the hetero-oligomeric oligosaccharyltransferase (Ost) complex (Ost1p, Ost2p, Ost3p, Ost4p, Ost5p, Ost6p, Stt3p, Swp1p, and Wbp1p), which transfers the entire oligosaccharide chain to asparagine side chains in polypeptides. The entire process that leads to the assembly of the LLO must be strictly ordered and the order appears to be ensured by high substrate specificities of all the participating ALG enzymes. The regulation of the activities appears to occur at the level of substrate availability, and the rate-limiting factor may be the amount of Dol-P on the cytoplasmic side of the ER membrane, which seems to be primarily affected by recycling of Dol-PP released by the Ost complex. The initial steps of protein N-glycosylation are remarkably conserved in evolution and most of the yeast genes involved in this process have their known homologs in humans, many of which are implicated in severe disorders such as the CDG syndrome (congenital disorders of glycosylation) as well as congenital muscular dystrophies.

Expression
Expression data are derived from records contained in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and are first log2 transformed and normalized. Referenced datasets may contain one or more condition(s), and as a result there may be a greater number of conditions than datasets represented in a single clickable histogram bar. The histogram division at 0.0 separates the down-regulated (green) conditions and datasets from those that are up-regulated (red).
