GPI anchoring is an essential post-translational modification in eukaryotes that links proteins to the plasma membrane. In this issue, Liu et al. (2023. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202208159) suggest, for the first time, a regulation on demand of the GPI glycolipid precursor biosynthesis.
糖基磷脂酰肌醇(GPI)锚定是真核生物中一种重要的翻译后修饰过程,它将蛋白质与质膜连接在一起。在本期中,Liu 等人(2023. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202208159)首次提出了一种对 GPI 糖脂前体生物合成的按需调节机制。
