Abstract:
Method and system for expression systems, based on ade1 and ade2 auxotrophic strains of yeast and fungi, including P. pastoris are disclosed. The expression systems are useful for increased cellular productivity of transformed cell lines and for production of recombinant glycoproteins at industrial scale.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to eukaryotic host cells, especially lower eukaryotic host cells, having modified oligosaccharides which may be modified further by heterologous expression of a set of glycosyltransferases, sugar and sugar nucleotide transporters to become host-strains for the production of mammalian, e.g., human therapeutic glycoproteins. The process provides an engineered host cell which can be used to express and target any desirable gene(s) involved in glycosylation. Host cells with modified lipid-linked oligosaccharides are created or selected. N-glycans made in the engineered host cells exhibit GnTIII, GnTIV, GnTV, GnT VI or GnTIX activity, which produce bisected and/or multiantennary N-glycan structures and may be modified further by heterologous expression of one or more enzymes, e.g., glycosyltransferases, sugar, sugar nucleotide transporters, to yield human-like glycoproteins. For the production of therapeutic proteins, this method may be adapted to engineer cell lines in which any desired glycosylation structure may be obtained.
Abstract:
Lower eukaryotic host cells have been recombinantly engineered to produce glycoprotein having human-like O-glycosylation. The glycoproteins are useful for the production of glycoprotein compositions with advantages for the production of human therapeutics.
Abstract:
Disclosed are the URA1, URA2, URA4, and URA6 genes encoding various enzymes in the uracil biosynthesis pathway of Pichia pastoris. The loci in the Pichia pastoris genome encoding these enzymes are useful sites for stable integration of heterologous nucleic acid molecules into the Pichia pastoris genome. The genes or gene fragments encoding the particular enzymes may be used as selection markers for constructing recombinant Pichia pastoris.
Abstract:
Novel genes encoding P. pastoris ARG1, ARG2, ARG3, HIS1, HIS2, HIS5 and HIS6 are disclosed. A method for inactivating alternately at least two biosynthetic pathways in a methylotrophic yeast is provided. A method for producing and selecting yeast strains characterized as being capable of genetic integration of heterologous sequences into the host genome using the genes involved in the biosynthetic pathways is also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to eukaryotic host cells having modified oligosaccharides which may be modified further by heterologous expression of a set of glycosyltransferases, sugar transporters and mannosidases to become host-strains for the production of mammalian, e.g., human therapeutic glycoproteins. The invention provides nucleic acid molecules and combinatorial libraries which can be used to successfully target and express mammalian enzymatic activities such as those involved in glycosylation to intracellular compartments in a eukaryotic host cell. The process provides an engineered host cell which can be used to express and target any desirable gene(s) involved in glycosylation. Host cells with modified oligosaccharides are created or selected. N-glycans made in the engineered host cells have a Man5GlcNAc2 core structure which may then be modified further by heterologous expression of one or more enzymes, e.g., glycosyltransferases, sugar transporters and mannosidases, to yield human-like glycoproteins. For the production of therapeutic proteins, this method may be adapted to engineer cell lines in which any desired glycosylation structure may be obtained.
Abstract:
Methods and materials are provided for integrating heterologous nucleic acids into the genome of a cell or virus without disrupting expression of genes adjacent to the insertion site.
Abstract:
Methods and materials are provided for the production of compositions of erythropoietin protein, wherein said compositions comprise a pre-selected N-linked glycosylation pattern as the predominant N-glycoform.
