The identification of SRD5A3, a causative gene for congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs), together with its yeast ortholog DFG10, established the prevailing model that dolichol is synthesized from polyprenol in a single step. Subsequently, a recent discovery of DHRSX in CDG patients revised this view and led to the proposal of a three-step detour pathway for dolichol biosynthesis. However, it remains unclear whether this pathway represents a conserved mechanism or reflects evolutionary diversity in eukaryotes. Here, we identified TDA5 as a yeast ortholog of DHRSX. Deletion of TDA5 caused glycosylation defects, reduced dolichol levels, and accumulated polyprenol. All these phenotypes were rescued by expression of DHRSX, but not by DFG10 or SRD5A3. These findings show that Tda5 serves the same function as DHRSX in yeast, thereby demonstrating conservation of the three-step detour pathway in yeast and supporting a broader eukaryotic framework for dolichol biosynthesis.
