Latest Patents
One of Geysens' latest patents focuses on protein glycosylation modification in methylotrophic yeast. This invention provides genetically engineered strains of methylotrophic yeast that are capable of producing proteins with reduced or modified glycosylation. The methods outlined in this patent include the production of glycoproteins using these genetically engineered strains. Additionally, the invention contemplates vectors that comprise coding sequences for α-1,2-mannosidase I, glucosidase II, GlcNAc-transferase I, and mannosidase II, as well as OCH1 disrupting sequences for transforming methylotrophic yeasts. A kit for providing the contemplated vectors is also included in this invention.
Another patent by Geysens also addresses protein glycosylation modification in methylotrophic yeast. This invention emphasizes genetically engineered strains capable of producing proteins with reduced glycosylation. The strains can express either or both of an α-1,2-mannosidase and glucosidase
