Abstract excerpt
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exist with two types of lipid moiety--diacylglycerol or ceramide--both of which contain 26:0 fatty acids. To understand at which stage of biosynthesis these long-chain fatty acids become incorporated into diacylglycerol anchors, we compared the phosphatidylinositol moieties isolated from myo-[2-(3)H]inositol-labelled protein...
