Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsrf-3 encodes a nucleotide sugar transporter (NST) most similar to the subfamily of UDP-galactose and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine transporters; SRF-3 can function as a nucleotide sugar transporter in heterologous in vitro and in vivo systems using UDP-galactose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine as substrates; mutations in srf-3 alter the surface antigenicity of the cuticle in C. elegans; srf-3 mutations show altered binding to antibodies raised against the cuticles of wild-type worms, and lectins like wheat germ agglutinin; srf-3 mutants are resistant to infection by the nematode-specific pathogen, Microbacterium nematophilum, and to the adherence of bacteria like Yersinia pseudotuberculosis which form biofilms; this resistance is most likely due to an altered glycoconjugate surface composition; srf-3 mutants also show an altered response in the form of increased susceptibility to nematophagous fungi; srf-3 mutants seem to have fragile cuticles compared to wild-type; srf-3 is expressed in seam cells, glandular cells g1/g2 and the spermatheca.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001576

Automated_descriptionEnables UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transmembrane transporter activity and UDP-galactose transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transmembrane transport and UDP-galactose transmembrane transport. Located in Golgi membrane and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Expressed in pharyngeal gland cell; seam cell; spermatheca; and vas deferens. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIm. Is an ortholog of human SLC35A2 (solute carrier family 35 member A2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceC. elegans is used as a model system to study bacterial adherence via biofilm formation and to identify genes in the infectious agent as well as the host that are required for infection; elegans srf genes are required for cuticle surface properties like binding to antigens, and for the adherence of bacterial pathogens like Yersinia pseduotuberculosis and Yersinia pestis via biofilms.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00001706
