Abstract excerpt
Many eukaryotic proteins are tethered to the plasma membrane via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). GPI transamidase is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and mediates post-translational transfer of preformed GPI to proteins bearing a carboxyl-terminal GPI attachment signal. Mammalian GPI transamidase is a multimeric complex consisting of at least five subunits. Here we report that two subunits of mammalian...
