Abstract:
Cleavage by the GPI-PLD provides definitive evidence of a minimal GPI structure: glucosamine-phosphatidylinositol. Unlike the case for PI-PLC, cleavage by the GPI-PLD is unaffected by acylation of the inositol ring. Thus the GPI-PLD provides an excellent simple enzymatic tool for analyzing the basic core structure of GPI anchors.
