Biomedical applications of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) use a unique posttranslational modification to link proteins to lipid bilayer membranes. The anchoring structure consists of both a lipid and carbohydrate portion and is highly conserved in eukaryotic organisms regarding its basic characteristics, yet highly variable in its molecular details. The strong membrane targeting property h...
متن کاملProteomic analysis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane proteins.
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) are a functionally and structurally diverse family of post-translationally modified membrane proteins found mostly in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane in a variety of eukaryotic cells. Although the general role of GPI-APs remains unclear, they have attracted attention because they act as enzymes and receptors in cell adhesion, dif...
متن کاملMetabolism of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins in Arabidopsis.
Although glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins have now been found in several plants, very little is known regarding their metabolism there. This report describes studies of the biosynthesis and turnover of arabinogalactan proteins, a class of abundant GPI-anchored proteins secreted by cultured Arabidopsis cells.
متن کاملCholesterol-dependent retention of GPI-anchored proteins in endosomes.
Several cell surface eukaryotic proteins have a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) modification at the Cterminal end that serves as their sole means of membrane anchoring. Using fluorescently labeled ligands and digital fluorescence microscopy, we show that contrary to the potocytosis model, GPI-anchored proteins are internalized into endosomes that contain markers for both receptor-mediated up...
متن کاملGPIomics: global analysis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored molecules of Trypanosoma cruzi
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring is a common, relevant posttranslational modification of eukaryotic surface proteins. Here, we developed a fast, simple, and highly sensitive (high attomole-low femtomole range) method that uses liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS(n)) for the first large-scale analysis of GPI-anchored molecules (i.e., the GPIome) of a eukaryote, Tryp...
