Schematic diagram of L. enriettii LPGs. The central portion of the structure is Gal(α1,6)Gal(α1,3)Galf(α1,3)[Glc(α1-PO4)-6]Man(α1,3)Man(α1,4)GlcN(α1:6), attached lipid anchor to alkyl-2-lyso-1-O phosphatydylinositol (PI). The repeat units are 6-Gal(β1,4)Man(α1)-PO4. The precise numbers of the repeat units in the L. enriettii LPGs and the CAP constitution are not known. P = phosphate.
