The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins are subjected to lipid remodeling during their biosynthesis. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the mature GPI-anchored proteins contain mainly ceramide or diacylglycerol with a saturated long-fatty acid, whereas conventional phosphatidylinositol (PI) used for GPI biosynthesis contains an unsaturated fatty acid. Here, we report that S. cerevisiae Cwh43p, whose N-terminal region contains a sequence homologous to mammalian PGAP2, is involved in the remodeling of the lipid moiety of GPI anchors to ceramides. In cwh43 disruptant cells, the PI moiety of the GPI-anchored protein contains a saturated long fatty acid and lyso-PI but not inositolphosphorylceramides, which are the main lipid moieties of GPI-anchored proteins from wild-type cells. Moreover, the C-terminal region of Cwh43p (Cwh43-C), which is not present in PGAP2, is essential for the ability to remodel GPI lipids to ceramides. The N-terminal region of Cwh43p (Cwh43-N) is associated with Cwh43-C, and it enhanced the lipid remodeling to ceramides by Cwh43-C. Our results also indicate that mouse FRAG1 and C130090K23, which are homologous to Cwh43-N and -C, respectively, share these activities.
