  • Patent number: 9707276
    Abstract: Compositions and formulations comprising insulin or insulin analogs comprising a carboxy terminal portion (CTP) peptide comprising amino acids 112-118 to 145 of the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG?) or a partial variant thereof that includes at least one O-glycosylation site of the CTP peptide, wherein the CTP peptide of the CTP peptide-based insulin or insulin analog is O-glycosylated are described. In particular embodiments, the O-glycosylated insulin analogs are produced in vivo and in further embodiments, the O-glycosylated CTP-based insulin analogs comprise predominantly mannotriose and mannotetrose O-glycans or predominantly mannose O-glycans.

  • Publication number: 20160289290
    Abstract: Compositions and formulations comprising N-glycosylated insulin analogues are described. In particular embodiments, the glycosylated insulin analogues are produced in vivo and comprise one or more the N-linked N-glycans selected from high mannose or fucosylated or non-fucosylated hybrid, paucimannose, or complex N-glycans. In other embodiments, the N-glycan comprising the high mannose or fucosylated or non-fucosylated hybrid, paucimannose, or complex N-glycan is attached to the insulin analogue in vitro. Examples of N-glycans include but are not limited to a molecule having a structure selected from N-glycans in the group consisting of Man(1-9)GlcNAc2; or selected from N-glycans in the group consisting of GlcNAc(1-4)Man3GlcNAc2; or selected from N-glycans in the group consisting of Gal(1-4)GlcNAc(1-4)Man3GlcNAc2; or selected from N-glycans in the group consisting of NANA(1-4)Gal(1-4)GlcNAc(1-4)Man3GlcNAc2.

  • Publication number: 20140227290
    Abstract: Described is a method for increasing the N-glycosylation site occupancy of a therapeutic glycoprotein produced in recombinant host cells modified as described herein and genetically engineered to express the glycoprotein compared to the N-glycosylation site occupancy of the therapeutic glycoprotein produced in a recombinant host cell not modified as described herein. In particular, the method provides recombinant host cells that overexpress a heterologous single-subunit oligosaccharyltransferase, which in particular embodiments is capable of functionally suppressing the lethal phenotype of a mutation of at least one essential protein of the yeast oligosaccharyltransferase (OTase) complex, for example, the Leishmania major STT3D protein, in the presence of expression of the host cell genes encoding the endogenous OTase complex.

  • Publication number: 20130011875
    Abstract: The present invention is related to methods and for producing higher titers of recombinant protein in a modified yeast host cell, for example Pichia pastoris, wherein the modified yeast cell lacks vacuolar sorting activity or has decreased vacuolar sorting activity relative to an unmodified yeast host cell of the same species. In particular embodiments vacuolar sorting activity is reduced or eliminated by deletion or disruption of a gene encoding Vps10 or a Vps10 homolog. The invention is also related to the modified yeast cells which are modified in accordance with the methods disclosed herein.
