Abstract
While proteins modified at their COOH-terminal end by a glycosylphosph atidylinositol (GPI) membrane anchor have been found as minor componen ts in many eukaryotic cells,they dominate surface constituents of seve ral parasitic protozoa. In this article, GPI-anchored proteins of Tryp anosoma brucei are discussed.
