Tolerance of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific phospholipase D overexpression by Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants with aberrant GPI biosynthesis.
Mammalian glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) is capable of releasing GPI-anchored proteins by cleavage of the GPI moiety. A previous study indicated that overexpression of GPI-PLD in mouse RAW 264.7 monocytes/macrophages could be cytotoxic, since survivors of stable transfections had enzymic activity no higher than untransfected cells [Du and Low (2001) Infect...
متن کاملPlasma glycosylphosphatidylinositol phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Recent reviews state that a circulating biomarker predicting aortic rupture risk would be a powerful tool to stratify patients with small screen-detected abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In a current proteomic pilot-study elevated levels of the enzyme Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) was shown in patients with small AAA compared with controls without aneurysm. In ...
متن کاملA glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-negative phenotype produced in Leishmania major by GPI phospholipase C from Trypanosoma brucei: topography of two GPI pathways
The major surface macromolecules of the protozoan parasite Leishmania major, gp63 (a metalloprotease), and lipophosphoglycan (a polysaccharide), are glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored. We expressed a cytoplasmic glycosylphosphatidylinositol phospholipase C (GPI-PLC) in L. major in order to examine the topography of the protein-GPI and polysaccharide-GPI pathways. In L. major cells expr...
متن کاملSecretion of cryptococcal phospholipase B1 (PLB1) is regulated by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor.
The secreted, multifunctional enzyme PLB1 (phospholipase B1 protein encoded by the PLB1 gene) is a virulence determinant of the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans, but the mechanism of its secretion is unknown. The cryptococcal PLB1 gene encodes putative, N-terminal LP (leader peptide) and C-terminal GPI (glycosylphosphatidylinositol) anchor attachment motifs, suggesting that PLB1 is GPI...
متن کاملSynthesis of non-hydrolysable mimics of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors.
Synthesis of first generation non-hydrolysable C-phosphonate GPI analogs, viz., 6-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranosyl)-d-myo-inositol-1-O-(sn-3,4-bis(palmitoyloxy)butyl-1-phosphonate) and 6-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranosyl)-d-myo-inositol-1-O-(sn-2,3-bis(palmitoyloxy)propyl-1-phosphonate) 23b, is reported. The target compounds were synthesized by the coupling of α-pseudodisaccharide 21 w...
