PRODUCTION OF HIGH MANNOSE GLYCOSYLATED PROTEINS STORED IN THE PLASTID OF MICROALGAE

摘要

The present invention concerns a transformed microalga producing a protein harboring a "high mannose" pattern of glycosylation in the plastid of said transformed microalga, wherein 1) said transformed microalga has a Chloroplast Endoplasmic Reticulum (CER); 2) said microalga has been transformed with a nucleic acid sequence operatively linked to a promoter, said nucleic acid sequence encoding an amino acid sequence comprising (i) an amino-terminal bipartite topogenic signal (BTS) sequence composed of at least a signal peptide followed by a transit peptide; and (ii) The sequence of said protein, 3) the xylosyltransferases and fucosyltransferases of said microalga have not been inactivated; 4) the N-acetylglycosyltransferase I of said microalga has not been inactivated, preferably the N-acetylglycosyltranferases II, III, IV, V and VI, mannosidase II and glycosyltransferases of said microalga have not been inactivated.
