Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are membrane anchors of many eukaryotic cell surface proteins. Biosynthesis of GPIs is initiated at the cytosolic face of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the second intermediate, glucosaminyl-phosphatidylinositol (GlcN-PI), is translocated across the membrane to the lumenal face for later biosynthetic steps and attachment to proteins. The mechanism of the lumenal translocation of GlcN-PI is unclear. We report that Cleft lip and palate transmembrane protein 1-like protein (CLPTM1L), an ER membrane protein of unknown function, is a lipid scramblase involved in GPI biosynthesis. Purified CLPTM1L scrambles GlcN-PI, PI, and several other phospholipids in vitro. Knockout of CLPTM1L gene in mammalian cultured cells partially decreased GPI-anchored proteins due to impaired usage of GlcN-PI, suggesting a major role of CLPTM1L in lumenal translocation of GlcN-PI. One-Sentence SummaryCLPTM1L translocates glucosaminyl-phosphatidylinositol across the membrane during glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
