摘要:
The invention is directed to methods for optimizing glycan processing in organisms (and in particular, plants) so that a glycoprotein having complex type bi-antennary glycans and thus 5 containing galactose residues on both arms and which are devoid of (or reduce in) xylose and fucose can be obtained. The invention is further directed to said glycoprotein obtained and host system comprising said protein.
摘要:
The invention relates to the field of transforming plant cells and the modification of plant genomes. The invention provides a method for transforming a plant cell comprising providing said cell with site-specific recombinase activity.
摘要:
The invention comprises a method to produce a Lewis X epitope on N-linked glycans on glycoproteins in a plant, plant part or plant cells, comprising expression of a nucleotide sequence encoding a galactosyltransferase, which catalyzes the addition of galactose in β1,4-linkage to N-linked glycans, and expression of a nucleotide sequence encoding a fucosyltransferase, which catalyzes the addition of fucose in α1,3-linkage to the N-acetylglucosamine of Galβ1-4GlcNAc structures on N-linked glycans, and expression of one or more nucleotide sequences encoding one or more glycoproteins, which are able to be provided with an N-linked glycan, in said plant, plant part or plant cell. The fucosyltransferase comprises preferably the catalyticaal active domain of FUT9 from T. nigroviridis. Also part of the invention are hybrid enzymes with said domain and an N-terminal part which confers expression in the Golgi apparatus.
