Engineering complex-type N-glycosylation in Pichia pastoris using GlycoSwitch technology (2009)

Jacobs, Pieter P., Geysens, Steven, Vervecken, Wouter, Contreras, Roland, Callewaert, Nico

Here we provide a protocol for engineering the N-glycosylation pathway of the yeast Pichia pastoris. The general strategy consists of the disruption of an endogenous glycosyltransferase gene (OCH1)...

Genome sequencing and analysis of the versatile cell factory Aspergillus niger CBS 513.88 (2007)

Coutinho, Pedro M., Cornell, Michael, Contreras, Roland, Caddick, Mark X., Breestraat, Stefaan, Berg, Marco Van Den, ...

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is widely exploited by the fermentation industry for the production of enzymes and organic acids, particularly citric acid. We sequenced the 33.9-megabase...

Clearance mechanism of a mannosylated antibody-enzyme fusion protein used in experimental cancer therapy (2007)

Kogelberg, Heide, Tolner, Berend, Sharma, Surinder K., Lowdell, Mark W, Qureshi, Uzma, Robson, Mathew, ...

MFECP1 is a mannosylated antibody–enzyme fusion protein used in antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT). The antibody selectively targets tumor cells and the targeted enzyme converts a...

In Vivo Synthesis of Mammalian-Like, Hybrid-Type N-Glycans in Pichia pastoris

Vervecken, Wouter, Kaigorodov, Vladimir, Callewaert, Nico, Geysens, Steven, De Vusser, Kristof, Contreras, Roland

The Pichia pastoris N-glycosylation pathway is only partially homologous to the pathway in human cells. In the Golgi apparatus, human cells synthesize complex oligosaccharides, whereas Pichia cells...

Contribution of Galactofuranose to the Virulence of the Opportunistic Pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus▿

Schmalhorst, Philipp S., Krappmann, Sven, Vervecken, Wouter, Rohde, Manfred, Müller, Meike, Braus, Gerhard H., ...

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is responsible for a lethal disease called invasive aspergillosis that affects immunocompromised patients. This disease, like other human fungal diseases,...
