Abstract


We have compared the function of homologous and heterologous secretion leaders to mediate production of human beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase (Gal-Tf) in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although all genes encoding leader/Gal-Tf fusions were transcribed by strong yeast promoters, only low production levels were obtained for full-length Gal-Tf containing the human membrane-anchor region. In contrast, a gene fusion encoding the membrane-anchor region of the yeast alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase (Mnt1) fused to soluble Gal-Tf yielded high mRNA and intracellular protein levels. Gal-Tf could also be produced extracellularly using a fusion of the pre-pro region of the yeast Mf alpha 1 precursor (MF alpha 1) to soluble Gal-Tf; a fusion containing only the pre-region of Mf alpha 1 was synthesized intracellularly, but did not lead to Gal-Tf activity in the culture medium. All yeast-produced Gal-Tf proteins were enzymatically active. These results demonstrate that yeast secretion leaders are advantageous to achieve efficient production of active Gal-Tf in S. cerevisiae.
