| Research Abstract |
Mammalian cells are used for producing recombinant proteins whose post-translational modifications are important for their therapeutic efficacy. The manufacture of recombinant proteins is complicated by the need for both high levels of expression and appropriate processing of the nascent polypeptide, especially in glycoproteins, because the capacity of glycosylation in the secretory pathway is limited in the cells. In this study, we tried to improve the strategy for producing recombinant glycoproteins by identify metal transporters that supply metal such as zinc and manganese to glycosyltransferases in the secretory pathway because these metals are functional as cofactors of the enzymes. We found a homologue of Pmr1 that is a functional as calcium cannel in yeast is important for manganese transport and likely functional in glycosylation reaction in the secretory pathway, which may lead to the improvement of the secretion capacities of recombinant cells.
