GPI anchors: Regulated as needed

Auxiliadora Aguilera-Romero et al. J Cell Biol. .

Abstract

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.
