摘要:
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.
摘要:
Cell lines having genetically modified glycosylation pathways that allow them to carry out a sequence of enzymatic reactions, which mimic the processing of glycoproteins in humans, have been developed. Recombinant proteins expressed in these engineered hosts yield glycoproteins more similar, if not substantially identical, to their human counterparts. The lower eukaryotes, which ordinarily produce high-mannose containing N-glycans, including unicellular and multicellular fungi are modified to produce N-glycans such as Man5GlcNAc2 or other structures along human glycosylation pathways. This is achieved using a combination of engineering and/or selection of strains which: do not express certain enzymes which create the undesirable complex structures characteristic of the fungal glycoproteins, which express exogenous enzymes selected either to have optimal activity under the conditions present in the fungi where activity is desired, or which are targeted to an organelle where optimal activity is achieved, and combinations thereof wherein the genetically engineered eukaryote expresses multiple exogenous enzymes required to produce “human-like” glycoproteins.
摘要:
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.

摘要:
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) that contains a pyrogen such as endotoxin due to a process of producing the PHA is treated to remove the pyrogen by a process that does not affect the inherent chemical and physical properties of the PHA to obtain a biocompatible PHA. PHA produced by fermentation with a Gram negative bacteria can be treated with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or benzoyl peroxide to reduce the endotoxin content to less than 20 endotoxin units/gram of PHA to produce PHA that does not elicit an acute inflammatory response when implanted in an animal. The PHA may have a melting point or glass transition temperature less than 136° C., and can be chemically modified or derivatized such as by covalently coupling an attachment or targeting molecule. The PHA may be used to form various medical devices, and can be used for in vivo applications including tissue coatings, stents, sutures, tubing, bone and other prostheses, bone and tissue cements, tissue regenerating devices, wound dressings, drug delivery, and for diagnostic and prophylactic uses.
