| 20080299616 | Malate Synthase Regulatory Sequences for Heterologous Gene Expression in Pichia - The present invention relates to the isolation of DNA regulatory regions of the malate synthase 1 gene (MLS1) from the yeast, | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090155847 | Combinatorial DNA library for producing modified N-glycans in lower eukaryotes - 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 Man | 06-18-2009 |

| 20100016555 | N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase III Expression in Lower Eukaryotes - 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 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 activity, which produce bisected N-glycan structures and may 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. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20100311122 | VECTORS AND YEAST STRAINS FOR PROTEIN PRODUCTION - Lower eukaryote host cells in which the function of at least one endogenous gene encoding a chaperone protein, such as a Protein Disulphide Isomerase (PDI), has been reduced or eliminated and at least one mammalian homolog of the chaperone protein is expressed are described. In particular aspects, the host cells further include a deletion or disruption of one or more O-protein mannosyltransferase genes, and/or overexpression of an endogenous or exogenous Ca2 | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110053214 | PRODUCTION OF GALACTOSYLATED GLYCOPROTEINS IN LOWER EUKARYOTES - The present invention provides a novel lower eukaryotic host cell producing human-like glycoproteins characterized as having a terminal β-galactose residue and essentially lacking fucose and sialic acid residues. The present invention also provides a method for catalyzing the transfer of a galactose residue from UDP-galactose onto an acceptor substrate in a recombinant lower eukaryotic host cell, which can be used as a therapeutic glycoprotein. | 03-03-2011 |
