Abstract excerpt
In humans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae the free glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipid precursor contains several ethanolamine phosphate side chains, but these side chains had been found on the protein-bound GPI anchors only in humans, not yeast. Here we confirm that the ethanolamine phosphate side chain added by Mcd4p to the first mannose is a prerequisite for the addition of the third mannose to the GPI...
