everal leukocyte surface proteins are anchored in the membrane via the glycolipid glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) 1 (Fig. 1). A striking feature of these structurally diverse proteins (see Box 1) is that their ligation on the cell surface by suitable antibodies results in signal transduction that

## Abstract Every protein fated to receive the glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor postโtranslational modification has a Cโterminal GPIโanchor attachment signal sequence. This signal peptide varies with respect to length, content, and hydrophobicity. With the exception of predictions based on an
Adaptor molecules, proteins that possess no intrinsic enzymatic function, but which mediate protein-protein interactions, have a critical role in integrating signal transduction pathways following engagement of cell-surface receptors. Several newly described adaptor molecules have been shown to serv
he initial signaling event following the engagement of T and B cell antigen receptors (TCR and BCR, respectively) is the activation of Src family protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) such as Lck and Fyn in T cells and Lyn in B cells (reviewed in Refs. 1, 2). These PTKs phosphorylate tyrosine-containing i
