Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gpi3p is the UDP-GlcNAc-binding and presumed catalytic subunit of the enzyme that forms GlcNAc-phosphatidylinositol in glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis. It is an essential protein with an EX7E motif that is conserved in four families of retaining glycosyltransferases. All Gpi3ps contain a cysteine residue four residues C-terminal to EX7E. To test their importance for Gpi3p...
