Recombinant pectate lyase from Aspergillus niger was overexpressed in Aspergillus nidulans. The two recombinant proteins produced differed in molecular mass by 1200 Da, which suggested that the larger molecular weight protein was glycosylated. The deduced amino acid sequence was searched for potenti

Abstract
N__βglycosylation is important for the folding and quality control of membrane and secretory proteins. We used mutagenesis to introduce Nβglycosylation sequons in recombinant proteins to improve their secretion in HEK293 cells. Seven recombinant proteins, with or without endogenous Nβglycosylation sequons, were tested by this method. Our results indicate that Nβglycosylation sequons located at the Nβ__ or Cβterminal are glycosylated at high rates and thus the N__β__ and Cβterminal may be convenient sites for effectively attaching oligosaccharide chains. More importantly, introduction of oligosaccharide chains at such positions has been found to improve the secretion levels for the majority of the recombinant proteins in our studies, regardless of endogenous N__β__glycosylation, presumably by improving their folding in the endoplasmic reticulum.

A series of mass spectrometric experiments was performed to characterize the carbohydrate chains attached to endopolygalacturonase II (EPG-II) overexpressed in Aspergillus niger. First, an aliquot of trypsin-digested EPG-II was analyzed by capillary high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coup
Strategies that prevent the attachment of N-linked carbohydrates to nascent glycoproteins often impair intracellular transport and secretion. In the present study, we describe a method to rescue the intracellular transport and secretion of glycoproteins mutagenized to delete N-linked glycosylation s
Increased production of secreted proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was achieved by overexpressing the yeast syntaxins, Sso1 or Sso2 protein, the t-SNAREs functioning at the targeting/fusion of the Golgi-derived secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane. Up to four-or six-fold yields of a heterolo
