Abstract excerpt
Mammalian glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) is capable of releasing GPI-anchored proteins by cleavage of the GPI moiety. A previous study indicated that overexpression of GPI-PLD in mouse RAW 264.7 monocytes/macrophages could be cytotoxic, since survivors of stable transfections had enzymic activity no higher than untransfected cells [Du and Low (2001) Infect. Immun. 69,...
