Pea microsomes contain an alpha-fucosyltransferase that incorporates fucose from GDP-fucose into xyloglucan, adding it preferentially to the 2-O-position of the galactosyl residue closest to the reducing end of the repeating subunit, This enzyme was solubilized with detergent and purified by affinity chromatography on GDP-hexanolamine-agarose followed by gel filtration. By utilizing peptide sequences obtained from the purified enzyme, a cDNA clone was isolated that encodes a 565-amino acid protein with a predicted molecular mass of 64 kDa and shows 62.3% identity to its Arabidopsis homolog. The purified transferase migrates at similar to 63 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis but elutes from the gel filtration column as an active protein of higher molecular weight (similar to 250 kDa), indicating that the active form is an oligomer, The enzyme is specific for xyloglucan and is inhibited by xyloglucan oligosaccharides and by the by-product GDP, The enzyme has a neutral pH optimum and does not require divalent ions. Kinetic analysis indicates that GDP-fucose and xyloglucan associate with the enzyme in a random order. N-Ethylmaleimide, a cysteine-specific modifying reagent, had little effect on activity, although several other amino acid-modifying reagents strongly inhibited activity.
