Expression of proteins on the surface of yeasts has a wide range of applications in biotechnology, such as directed evolution of proteins for increased affinity and thermal stability, screening of antibody libraries, epitope mapping, and use as whole-cell biocatalysts. However, hyperglycosylation can interfere with overall protein accessibility on the surface. Therefore, the less elaborate hyperglycosylation in wild type Pichia pastoris and the availability of glycoengineered strains make this yeast an excellent alternative for surface display of glycoproteins. Here, we report the implementation of the well-established a-agglutinin-based yeast surface display technology in P. pastoris. Four heterologous proteins were expressed on the surface of a wild type and a glycoengineered strain. Surface display levels were monitored by Western blot, immunofluorescence microscopy, and FACS analysis. The availability of glycoengineered strains makes P. pastoris an excellent alternative for surface display of glycoproteins and paves the way for new applications.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
