Mammalian GPI-anchor modifications and the enzymes involved

Abstract: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a glycolipid added to the C-terminus of a large variety of proteins in eukaryotes, thereby anchoring these proteins to the cell surface. More than 150 different human proteins are modified with GPI, and GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) play critical roles in embryogenesis, neurogenesis, immunity, and fertilization. GPI-APs are biosynthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transported to the plasma membrane via the Golgi apparatus. During transport, GPI-APs undergo st… Show more

“…In the biosensor the interaction between the biological molecules take place that may be kid of enzyme and the receptors which is really dangerous for the health. The heavy metals which are highly stabilized make the complex of the metals cannot be recognized by the biological molecule are really harmed for the living organism and mostly bound are present [30,31].…”

“…Like in the case of the N- glycans, GSL glycans are generated and extended in the lumen of the ER and Golgi, leading to a topological distribution of GSL on the extracellular side of the plasma membrane [ 64 ]. Another lipid class that contains a glycan core are the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchors [ 65 , 66 ]. Those are assembled on phosphatidylinositol moieties with the sequential addition of one Glc N Ac and four mannoses (Man), but also ethanolamine groups, in the ER lumen [ 65 ].…”

“…The conserved GPI moiety is composed of ethanolamine phosphate (EtNP), a conserved core glycan and phosphatidylinositol. The core glycan consists of three mannoses (Man) and one glucosamine (GlcN) residue that are linked to EtNP and phosphatidylinositol forming the GPI backbone structure EtNP-6Manα1-2Manα1-6Manα1-4GlcNα1-6myo-inositol-phospholipid (Kinoshita and Fujita, 2016;Liu and Fujita, 2020; Figure 1). Proteins destined to be GPI-anchored are translocated into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the GPI attachment signal peptide at the C-terminus is cleaved off and the preassembled GPI is transferred en bloc to the last amino acid of the C-terminus called the ω site.…”
