Abstract excerpt
Glycosylphoshatidylinositol (GPI) anchors are remodeled during their transport to the cell surface. Newly synthesized proteins are transferred to a GPI anchor, consisting of diacylglycerol with conventional C16 and C18 fatty acids, whereas the lipid moiety in mature GPI-anchored proteins is exchanged to either diacylglycerol containing a C26:0 fatty acid in the sn-2 position or ceramide in Saccharomyces...
