Biological studies of GPI-anchoring in Trypanosoma cruzi
… membrane by\r\nglycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors and play roles in host cell attachment and\r\ninvasion, and in parasite differentiation and replication. In other organisms, a\r\ntransamidase, GPI8, is involved in this anchoring process. This study investigated the\r\neffects of …

Isolation and molecular genetic analysis of conditionally lethal yeast mutants in glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchoring
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors are a recently described class of glycolipids attached through covalent linkage to protein. To explore the functions of GPIs, I investigated the effects of GPI anchoring deficiencies in the unicellular eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Complexity of the Late Stages of GPI Anchor Biosynthesis in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
… to the third mannose of the mammalian GPI anchor. Genetic disruption of the yeast PIG-F gene (termed GPI11), demonstrated that it is essential for vegetative growth. Yeast gpi11 mutants in which the Gpi11 protein (Gpi11p) could be conditionally depleted were constructed and tested for …
