Abstract
Yeasts are widely used and established production hosts for biopharmaceuticals. Despite of tremendous advances on creating human-type N-glycosylation, N-glycosylated biopharmaceuticals manufactured with yeasts are missing on the market. The N-linked glycans fulfill several purposes. They are essential for the properties of the final protein product for example modulating half-lives or interactions with cellular components. Still, while the protein is being formed in the endoplasmic reticulum, specific glycan intermediates play crucial roles in the folding of or disposal of proteins which failed to fold. Despite of this intricate interplay between glycan intermediates and the cellular machinery, many of the glycoengineering approaches are based on modifications of the N-glycan processing steps in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These N-glycans deviate from the canonical structures required for interactions with the lectins of the ER quality control system. In this review we provide a concise overview on the N-glycan biosynthesis, glycan-dependent protein folding and quality control systems and the wide array glycoengineering approaches. Furthermore, we discuss how the current glycoengineering approaches partially or fully by-pass glycan-dependent protein folding mechanisms or create structures that mimic the glycan epitope required for ER associated protein degradation.Description
