Abstract excerpt
A number of eukaryotic proteins are anchored to the membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), of which the core structure is conserved from protozoan to mammalian cells. Here, we used a panel of thymoma mutants, which synthesize Thy-1 but cannot express it on the cell surface, to study the GPI biosynthetic pathway in mammalian cells. These mutants have been assigned into six complementation classes (A, B,...
