This is a family of Dolichyl-phosphate-mannose-protein mannosyltransferase proteins EC:2.4.1.109. These proteins are responsible for O-linked glycosylation of proteins, they catalyse the reaction:- Dolichyl phosphate D-mannose + protein <=> dolichyl phosphate + O-D-mannosyl-protein. Also in this family is Swiss:Q94891 Drosophila rotated abdomen protein which is a putative mannosyltransferase [2]. This family appears to be distantly related to Pfam:PF02516 (A Bateman pers. obs.). This family also contains sequences from ArnTs (4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose lipid A transferase). They catalyse the addition of 4-amino-4-deoxy-l-arabinose (l-Ara4N) to the lipid A moiety of the lipopolysaccharide [4]. This is a critical modification enabling bacteria (e.g. Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium) to resist killing by antimicrobial peptides such as polymyxins [5]. Members such as Swiss:O52327 are predicted to have 12 trans-membrane regions. The N-terminal portion of these proteins is hypothesised to have a conserved glycosylation activity which is shared between distantly related oligosaccharyltransferases ArnT and PglB families [4].

ArnT family glycosyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of saccharide moieties from a donor to an acceptor to form glycosidic bonds; ArnT is an integral membrane lipid-to-lipid glycosyltransferase and the last enzyme in the aminoarabinose biosynthetic pathway of Gram-negative bacteria
