HYBRID GLYCOSYLATED PRODUCTS AND THEIR PRODUCTION AND USE

摘要

Hybrid glycosylated products such as polyketides and peptides are produced by transforming a host cell with (a) a gene cassette for synthesising an activated sugar and (b) nucleic acid encoding a glycosyltransferase (GT). The cell also produces or is supplied with an aglycone template. At least some of the components (sugar, aglycone, GT, sugar synthesis genes, cells) are mutually heterologous.
