Abstract

This study compares N-glycosylation of two model enzymes, β-glucosidase and phosphatase, between wildtype yeast strains and heterologous hosts, Pichia pastoris and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. It also tries to correlate glycosylation differences to enzyme catalytic properties and to distinguish which part of glycosylation could be attributed to the nature of microorganism or to the glycoprotein itself (sequence, number of glycosylation sites...).

Highlights

  • Open AccessN-glycosylation differences between wild-type and recombinant strains affect catalytic properties of two model enzymes: β-glucosidase and phosphatase

  • Glycosylation is involved in many proteins' properties and functions such as conformation, thermostability, solubility, protection against proteolysis, intra-cellular migration, secretion
