Abstract excerpt
Attachment of glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) to the C-termini of proteins is one of the most common posttranslational modifications in eukaryotic cells. GPI8/PIG-K is the catalytic subunit of the GPI transamidase complex catalyzing the transfer en bloc GPI to proteins. In this study, a T-DNA insertional mutant of rice with temperature-dependent drooping and fragile (df) shoots phenotype was isolated. The...
