TLDR
Overexpression of PIGV, which encodes GPI mannosyltransferase II, restored the surface expression of CD59 and normalized the accumulation of GPI intermediates in the mutant cells, suggesting that GPIMannosyl transferase II is the rate-limiting enzyme in GPI biosynthesis under limited dolichol-phosphate mannose availability.
Abstract
Although the genes involved in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) are well characterized, the regulation of GPI biosynthesis remains unclear. We isolated and characterized a mutant cell line showing decreased surface expression of CD59 and the accumulation of GPI intermediates. The mutant cell line was partially defective in MPDU1, which encodes a protein required for the utilization of dolichol-phosphate mannose. Overexpression of PIGV, which encodes GPI mannosyltransferase II, restored the surface expression of CD59 and normalized the accumulation of GPI intermediates in the mutant cells. Among all known genes involved in GPI biosynthetic pathway, only PIGV had such suppressive activity. PIGV, however, did not restore the abnormality of N-glycosylation caused by MPDU1 mutation. Our results suggest that GPI mannosyltransferase II is the rate-limiting enzyme in GPI biosynthesis under limited dolichol-phosphate mannose availability.

Identification of a Golgi GPI-N-acetylgalactosamine transferase with tandem transmembrane regions in the catalytic domain.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a juxtamembrane region of PGAP4 accommodates various GPI-anchored proteins, presenting their acceptor residue toward the catalytic center, and elucidate the initial step of G PI-GalNAc biosynthesis.

SR alpha promoter: an efficient and versatile mammalian cDNA expression system composed of the simian virus 40 early promoter and the R-U5 segment of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 long terminal repeat.

TL;DR: The SR alpha expression system was 1 or 2 orders of magnitude more active than the SV40 early promoter in a wide variety of cell types, including fibroblasts and lymphoid cells, and was capable of promoting a high level of expression of various lymphokine cDNAs.

Fatty Acid Remodeling of GPI-anchored Proteins Is Required for Their Raft Association

TL;DR: It is reported that GPI-APs, with two saturated fatty chains, are generated from those bearing an unsaturated chain by fatty acid remodeling that occurs most likely in the Golgi and requires post-GPI-attachment to proteins (PGAP)2 and PGAP3 and shows that the remodeling requires the preceding PGAP1-mediated deacylation from inositol of GPI -APs in the endoplasmic reticulum.
