Popis: The final step in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring of cell surface proteins consists of a transamidation reaction, in which preassembled GPI donors are substituted for C-terminal signal sequences in nascent polypeptides. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae GPI8 gene (ScGPI8) encodes a protein which is involved in the GPI transamidation reaction. We have cloned and isolated the Schizosaccharomyces pombe GPI8 homologous gene (SpGPI8). The SpGPI8 gene encodes a protein of 411 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of about 47 kDa. It shows 53.5% identity with the ScGPI8 and complements a S. cerevisiae GPI8 anchoring mutant.
