While proteins modified at their COOH-terminal end by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) membrane anchor have been found as minor components in many eukaryotic cells, they dominate surface constituents of several parasitic protozoa. In this article, GPI-anchored proteins of Trypanosoma brucei are discussed.
