    GPI mannosyltransferase I (GPI-MT-I) transfers the first mannose to a GPI-anchor precursor, glucosamine-(acyl)phosphatidylinositol [GlcN-(acyl)PI]. Mammalian GPI-MT-I consists of two components, PIG-M and PIG-X, which are homologous to Gpi14p and Pbn1p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, respectively. In the present study, we disrupted yeast GPI14 and analysed the phenotype of gpi14 yeast. The gpi14 haploid cells were inviable and accumulated GlcN-(acyl)PI. We cloned PIG-M homologues from human, Plasmodium falciparum (PfPIG-M) and Trypanosoma brucei (TbGPI14), and tested whether they could complement gpi14-disrupted yeast. None of them restored GPI-MT-I activity and cell growth in gpi14-disrupted yeast. However, gpi14-disrupted yeast cells with human PIG-M, but not with PfPIG-M or TbGPI14, grew slowly but significantly when they were supplemented with rat PIG-X. This suggests that the association of PIG-X and PIG-M for GPI-MT-I activity is not interchangeable between mammals and the other lower eukaryotes.
