摘要:
Provided herein are fungi, such as Aspergillus niger, having a dolichyl-P-Man:Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichyl mannosyltransferase (Alg3) gene genetic inactivation, increased expression of a loss of aflR expression A (Lae), or both. In some examples, such mutants have several phenotypes, including an increased production of citric acid relative to the parental strain. Methods of using the disclosed fungi to make citric acid are also provided, as are compositions and kits including the disclosed fungi.

摘要:
The present invention provides recombinant cells that contain a genetic modification to at least one mannosyl transferase gene. As a result of the modification the cells produce a glycoprotein or glycopeptide that has an N-linked glycan profile that is simplified or more easily humanized. The glycoprotein or glycopeptide can have at least 25% fewer high mannose structures on than the glycoprotein or glycopeptide produced by a reference cell. In some embodiments the modification is a deletion or disruption of a mannosyl transferase gene, which can be in an alg3 gene. Therefore, the proteins produced are more useful for the production of therapeutic glycoproteins than those produced by species having foreign or plant-like patterns of glycosylation. The invention also provides compositions of the glycoproteins or glycopeptides and methods of making them.
摘要:
The present invention provides recombinant cells that contain a modification causing altered expression or function of at least one mannosyl transferase enzyme. As a result of the modification the cells produce a glycoprotein or glycopeptide that has an N-linked glycan profile that is simplified or humanized. The glycoprotein or glycopeptide can have at least 25% fewer high mannose structures on than the glycoprotein or glycopeptide produced by a cell that does not have the modification. In some embodiments the modification is a deletion, knock out, or disruption of a gene encoding a mannosyl transferase, which can be in an Alg3 gene. Therefore, the proteins produced avoid many of the problems associated with the therapeutic use of glycoproteins from species having foreign or plant-like patterns of glycosylation. The invention also provides compositions of the glycoproteins or glycopeptides and methods of making them.
