“…By comparison, the GPI membrane anchor of human PLAP is made of 1- O -alkyl-2- O -acylglycerol, essentially 1- O -(C 18:0 )-alkyl-2- O -(C 18:1 ) acylglycero-3-phosphoinositol and 1- O -(C 16:0 )-alkyl-2- O -(C 18:0 ) acylglycero-3-phosphoinositol, and the existence of an anchor with three fatty acid residues has not been reported. Assuming that BIAP occupies an area of ∼45 nm 2 , at the surface of the bilayer and that each DPPC molecule in the gel phase occupies ∼47 Å 2 , each BIAP dimer would cover ∼95 DPPC molecules. Considering the acyl composition, it seems also reasonable to assume that the area occupied by each glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor in the bilayer is comparable to that of DPPC.…”

“…Shortly after the first description of membrane anchorage of cell surface proteins by glycolipidic anchors and elucidation of their detailed structure [5,6,97,98], the possibility of their spontaneous release from and insertion into PM of donor and acceptor cells, respectively, has been raised [99][100][101]. Subsequently, both the release [102][103][104][105][106][107] and insertion [108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115] of GPI-APs were substantiated by cell biological findings that, however, did not address putative (patho)physiological implications for the cells and tissues involved.…”

“…The presence of a hydrophobic moiety in the GPI-anchor gives an amphiphilic character to the enzyme, providing an interesting parameter to investigate the behavior of the enzyme at the air-water interface. Moreover, model membranes such as lipid Langmuir monolayers [3][4][5][6][7][8][9], lipid Langmuir-Blodgett films [10][11][12][13][14] and liposomes [15][16][17][18][19][20] have been applied to catalytic studies, and molecular organization of GPI-enzymes. In this context, it is worthwhile to investigate the role of the anchor in the enzyme stability in terms of its secondary structure when the enzyme is spread and compressed at the air-water interface.…”
