  • Publication number: 20170129932
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a recombinant cell line producing recombinant glycoproteins having a high sialic acid content by inhibiting glycosphingolipid (GSL) biosynthesis pathway in a cell line producing recombinant glycoproteins. Particularly, the present invention produces erythropoietin (EPO), containing a high content of sialic acid in a cell, from a cell line, which induces CGT inhibition by using siRNA and miRNA specifically binding to ceramide glucosyltransferase (CGT), thereby increasing the in vivo half-life of a recombinant therapeutic protein, and thus can be useful in the treatment of disease using the same.

  • Patent number: 8343736
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an efficient production method of xylitol by using the xylitol producing microorganism introduced with arabinose metabolic pathway to inhibit the production of arabitol, the byproduct, and instead to use arabinose only for cell metabolism in xylose/arabinose mixed medium. More precisely, to express efficiently L-arabinose isomerase (araA), L-ribulokinase (araB) and L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase (araD) in Candida tropicalis, codon optimization was performed. Then, each gene was inserted in the gene expression cassette containing the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter and the selection marker URA3, which was introduced into Candida sp. microorganism. As a result, arabitol, the byproduct interrupting the purification and crystallization of xylitol could be inhibited, making the production method of xylitol of the present invention more efficient.
