Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) attachment to the C-terminus of proteins is a prevalent posttranslational modification in eukaryotic species, and GPIs help anchor proteins to the cell surface. GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) play a key role in various biological events. However, GPI-APs are difficult to access and investigate. To tackle the problem, chemical and chemoenzymatic methods have been explored for the preparation of GPI-APs, as well as GPI probes that facilitate the study of GPIs on live cells. Substantial progress has also been made regarding GPI-AP biosynthesis, which is helpful for developing new synthetic methods for GPI-APs. This article reviews the recent advancements in the study of GPI-AP biosynthesis, GPI-AP synthesis, and GPI interaction with the cell membrane utilizing synthetic probes.
