Abstract:"The yeast mating pheromone precursor prepro-alpha factor was fused to C-terminal signals for glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor attachment, based on the sequence of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein Gas1p. Maturation of fusion proteins expressed in vivo required the presence of both a functional GPI attachment site and the synthesis of GPI precursors. Constructs were translated in vitro for use in cell-free studies of glycolipid attachment. The radiolabelled polypeptides were post-translationally translocated into yeast microsomes, where at least one third of the molecules received a GPI anchor. This approach offers distinct advantages over anchor attachment reactions that require co-translational translocation of secretory peptide substrates"
