摘要: The N-glycosylation process that occurs in the Pichia pastoris protein expression system can have a significant effect on the yield of heterologous glycoproteins secreted from the yeast. The basis of the effect of N-glycosylation on yield, however, has not been elucidated. In order to investigate the effect of N-glycosylation on heterologous protein production, site-directed mutation was performed on five potential N-glycosylation sites of the tetanus toxin fragment C (TetC). Unaltered TetC (wild-TetC) and eight mutants, in which different numbers and locations of N-glycosylation sites were altered, were expressed in P. pastoris GS115. The recombinant target proteins presented different levels of N-glycosylation. The wild Tet-C and 4 mutations sites of putative N-glycosylation (4Gly mutant: N280Q) had the highest level of secreted protein, while 1 mutation of putative N-glycosylation sites (1Gly mutant: N39/64/85/205Q) had the highest level of intracellular, non-secreted heterologous protein. Reducing the number of native N-glycosylation sites decreased the level of glycosylation, as well as the level of secretion. Introduction of a N-glycosylation site at position 320, however, also reduced the level of expression and secretion of recombinant protein. These results indicate that the number and location of N-glycosylation sites jointly have an effect on the expression and secretion of heterologous glycoproteins in P. pastoris.
