  • Publication number: 20210189002
    Abstract: The invention provides a recombinant Thraustochytriaceae cell for the production of a glycomolecule. The cell comprises a nucleic acid encoding a heterologous glycomolecule, and a sequence encoding a heterologous oligosaccharyltransferase. The cell produces the heterologous glycomolecule having a higher glycan occupancy compared to the same heterologous glycomolecule produced by a corresponding cell not comprising the heterologous oligosaccharyltransferase. The glycan occupancy can be more than 25%. The cells advantageously produce and, optionally secrete, the heterologous glycomolecule. Thus, the invention provides recombinant organisms that provide glycomolecules having a glycosylation profile that is more similar to the glycosylation profile produced in a manunalian cell.

  • Publication number: 20200399649
    Abstract: The invention provides recombinant organisms containing a nucleic acid encoding a heterologous glycomolecule that has a low sulfation profile or that is unsulfated. In one embodiment the heterologous glycomolecule is an immunoglobulin molecule. The recombinant organisms have a genetic modification to at least one sulfotransferase gene, such as a deletion, disruption, or other genetic modification. The cells advantageously produce and, optionally secrete, the heterologous glycomolecule. Thus, the invention provides recombinant organisms that provide glycomolecules having a glycosylation profile that is more similar to the glycosylation profile produced in a mammalian cell, and therefore may be safer and more effective for use as a therapeutic in humans or animals. The glycomolecules can be a glycoprotein, glycopeptide, or a glycolipid.
