Abstract excerpt
Cloning genes for glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis is important to further understand its mechanisms and regulation. We have been using expression cloning methods in which a cDNA library was transfected into GPI-anchor-deficient mutant cells. The transfectants which restored surface expression of GPI-anchored proteins were isolated and the plasmids were rescued. In this way we previously...
