| T1 |
0-97 |
Sentence |
denotes |
GPI7 is the second partner of PIG-F and involved in modification of glycosylphosphatidylinositol. |
| T2 |
98-204 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Many eukaryotic cell surface proteins are anchored to the membrane via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). |
| T3 |
205-313 |
Sentence |
denotes |
GPI is synthesized from phosphatidylinositol by stepwise reactions and attached en bloc to nascent proteins. |
| T4 |
314-393 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In mammalian cells, the major GPI species transferred to proteins is termed H7. |
| T5 |
394-604 |
Sentence |
denotes |
By attachment of an additional ethanolamine phosphate (EtNP) to the second mannose, H7 can be converted to H8, which acts as a minor type of protein-linked GPI and also exists as a free GPI on the cell surface. |
| T6 |
605-741 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Yeast GPI7 is involved in the transfer of EtNP to the second mannose, but the corresponding mammalian enzyme has not yet been clarified. |
| T7 |
742-876 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here, we report that the human homolog of Gpi7p (hGPI7) forms a protein complex with PIG-F and is involved in the H7-to-H8 conversion. |
| T8 |
877-978 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We knocked down hGPI7 by RNA interference and found that H7 accumulated with little production of H8. |
| T9 |
979-1153 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that hGPI7 was associated with and stabilized by PIG-F, which is known to bind to and stabilize PIG-O, a protein homologous to hGPI7. |
| T10 |
1154-1261 |
Sentence |
denotes |
PIG-O is a transferase that adds EtNP to the third mannose, rendering GPI capable of attaching to proteins. |
| T11 |
1262-1418 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We further found that the overexpression of hGPI7 decreased the level of PIG-O and, therefore, decreased the level of EtNP transferred to the third mannose. |
| T12 |
1419-1597 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Finally, we propose a mechanism for the regulation of GPI biosynthesis through competition between the two independent enzymes, PIG-O and hGPI7, for the common stabilizer, PIG-F. |
