Description:
Yeast is a widely used recombinant protein expression system. We expanded its utility by engineering the yeast Pichia pastoris to secrete human glycoproteins with fully complex terminally sialylated N-glycans. After the knockout of four genes to eliminate yeast-specific glycosylation, we introduced 14 heterologous genes, allowing us to replicate the sequential steps of human glycosylation. The reported cell lines produce complex glycoproteins with greater than 90% terminal sialylation. Finally, to demonstrate the utility of these yeast strains, functional recombinant erythropoietin was produced.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hamilton, Stephen R -- Davidson, Robert C -- Sethuraman, Natarajan -- Nett, Juergen H -- Jiang, Youwei -- Rios, Sandra -- Bobrowicz, Piotr -- Stadheim, Terrance A -- Li, Huijuan -- Choi, Byung-Kwon -- Hopkins, Daniel -- Wischnewski, Harry -- Roser, Jessica -- Mitchell, Teresa -- Strawbridge, Rendall R -- Hoopes, Jack -- Wildt, Stefan -- Gerngross, Tillman U -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Sep 8;313(5792):1441-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉GlycoFi Inc., 21 Lafayette Street, Suite 200, Lebanon, NH 03766, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16960007" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
