Abstract excerpt
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins play important roles in cell wall biogenesis/assembly and the formation of lipid microdomains. The lipid moieties of mature GPI-anchored proteins in yeast typically contain either ceramide moieties or diacylglycerol. Recent studies have identified that the GPI phospholipase A2 Per1p and O-acyltransferase Gup1p play...
