Abstract:
SUMMARY:Compared with other plant expression systems used for pharmaceutical protein production, alfalfa offers the advantage of very homogeneous N-glycosylation. Therefore, this plant was selected for further attempts at glycoengineering. Two main approaches were developed in order to humanize N-glycosylation in alfalfa. The first was a knock-down of two plant-specific N-glycan maturation enzymes, beta1,2-xylosyltransferase and alpha1,3-fucosyltransferases, using sense, antisense and RNA interference strategies. In a second approach, with the ultimate goal of rebuilding the whole human sialylation pathway, human beta1,4-galactosyltransferase was expressed in alfalfa in a native form or in fusion with a targeting domain from N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I, a glycosyltransferase located in the early Golgi apparatus in Nicotiana tabacum. Both knock-down and knock-in strategies strongly, but not completely, inhibited the biosynthesis of alpha1,3-fucose- and beta1,2-xylose-containing glycoepitopes in transgenic alfalfa. However, recombinant human beta1,4-galactosyltransferase activity in transgenic alfalfa completely prevented the accumulation of the Lewis a glycoepitope on complex N-glycans.
