Abstract excerpt
The final step in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring of cell surface proteins consists of a transamidation reaction, in which preassembled GPI donors are substituted for C-terminal signal sequences in nascent polypeptides. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae GPI8 gene (ScGPI8) encodes a protein which is involved in the GPI transamidation reaction. We have cloned and isolated the Schizosaccharomyces pombe GPI8...
