    2.4.1.267 | synthesis |
genetic engineering of N-glycan biosynthesis in Yarrowia lipolytica so that it produces Man(3)GlcNAc(2) structures on its glycoproteins. Disruption of the ALG3 gene, EC 2.4.1.258, results in modification of proteins mainly with Man(5)GlcNAc(2) and GlcMan(5)GlcNAc(2) glycans, and to a lesser extent with Glc(2)Man(5)GlcNAc(2) glycans. To avoid underoccupancy of glycosylation sites, Alg6, EC 2.4.1.267, is concomitantly overexpressed. Overexpression of the heterodimeric Aspergillus niger glucosidase II results in removal the terminal glucose residues. Overexpression of an alpha-1,2-mannosidase leads to Man(3)GlcNAc(2) structures, which are substrates for the synthesis of complex-type glycans. The final Yarrowia lipolytica strain produces proteins glycosylated with the trimannosyl core N-glycan (Man(3)GlcNAc(2)), which is the common core of all complex-type N-glycans |
