Abstract excerpt
The glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors that attach certain proteins to membranes are preassembled by sequential addition of glycan components to phosphatidylinositol (PI) before being transferred to nascent polypeptide. A cell-free system consisting of trypanosome membranes has been reported to catalyze GPI biosynthesis (Masterson, W. J., Doering, T. L., Hart, G. W., and Englund, P. T. (1989) Cell 56,...
