Abstrakt: Expression of recombinant full length human α2,6(N)sialyltransferase has been scaled-up in S. cerevisiaein a 150-1 bioreactor yielding 47 U at a concentration of 0.31 U/l. The protein specific activity as measured in reconstituted yeast lyophilisate was 0.8 mU/mg protein. The recombinant enzyme exhibited similar Michaelis constants as previously determined for the native rat enzyme. By immunoblotting the enzyme was shown to be heterogeneous by size (44-48 kD) and N-glycosylated. We conclude that recombinant α2,6(N)sialyltransferase expressed in S. cerevisiaeis retained in the endoplasmic reticulum as a fully active enzyme.
