Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, three classes of sphingolipids contain myo-inositol--inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC), mannosylinositol phosphorylceramide (MIPC) and mannosyldiinositol phosphorylceramide [M(IP)(2)C]. No fission yeast equivalent of Ipt1p, the inositolphosphotransferase that synthesizes M(IP)(2)C from MIPC, has been found in the Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome. Analysis of the sphingolipid...
