Gene and protein sequence optimization for high-level production of fully active and aglycosylated lysostaphin in Pichia pastoris.

abstract：:Nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) is critical for genome stability because of its roles in double-strand break repair. Ku and ligase D (LigD) are the crucial proteins in this process, and strains expressing Ku and LigD can cyclize linear DNA in vivo Here, we established a proof-of-concept single-homology-arm linear DNA...
