The PIG-W gene encodes acyltransferase. (A) FLAG-PIG-W-FLAG-HAT (lanes 1 and 4), FLAG-PIG-W-GST (lanes 2 and 5), and PIG-LGST-FLAG (lanes 3 and 6) were isolated by two-step affinity purification from the lysates of transfected JY25 cells. M, molecular size markers; lanes 1–3, silver staining; lanes 4–6, Western blotting with anti-FLAG antibody. (B) The purified FLAG-PIG-W-GST (lanes 1 and 3) and PIG-L-GST-FLAG (lane 2) proteins were incubated with [3H]palmitoyl-CoA in the presence (lanes 1 and 2) or absence (lane 3) of GlcN-PI(C8). After 10-min-incubation, lipids were analyzed by TLC with a solvent system of chloroform/methanol/0.25% KCl (55:45:10). GlcN-acylPI(C8) generated (asterisk) was treated overnight with GPI-PLD (lane 4), buffer for GPI-PLD (lane 5), PI-PLC (lane 6), or buffer for PI-PLC (lane 7), extracted again, and analyzed by TLC.
