摘要 |
The present disclosure is directed to glycosyltransferase variants having N-terminal truncation deletions. Contrary to previous findings certain truncations comprising the conserved amino acid motif ("QVWxKDS") were found to be compatible with glycosyltransferase enzymatic activity, particularly in a human sialyltransferase (hST6Gal-I). Thus, disclosed are variants of mammalian glycosyltransferase, nucleic acids encoding the same, methods and means for recombinantly producing the variants of mammalian glycosyltransferase and use thereof, particularly for sialylating terminal acceptor groups of glycan moieties being part of glycoproteins such as immunoglobulins. |
