Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing recombinant glycoproteins with high sialic acid content. More specifically, for UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase/ManNAc kinase (GNE/MNK) enzyme where point mutation was induced by substituting arginine at position 263 by leucine only or by further substituting arginine at position 266 by glutamine, epimerase activity is constantly maintained, and overexpressed cells thereof experience an increase in intracellular cytidine monophosphate (CMP)-sialic acid content, irrespective of CMP-sialic acid concentration.,Particularly, since in an glycoprotein(such as, erythropoietin and thrombopoietin)-producing host cell where point mutationinduced GNE/MNK, human alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase and a CMP-sialic acid transporter gene are simultaneously overexpressed, intracellular content of CMP-sialic acid and sialic acid in glycoprotein increases in cells, overexpression in a host cell producing a sialylated recombinant glycoprotein the three genes above may be useful for preparing glycoprotein with increased sialic acid content.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to methods of preparing recombinant glycoproteins with high sialic acid content. Background technique [0002] Sialic acid (Sia, NeuAc, NeuGc) is a general term for the acyl derivatives of neuraminic acid (Neu). Sialic acid, first isolated by Blix in 1936 from the mucin of the bovine salivary gland, is an acidic sugar containing 9 carbons with a COOH group. According to the difference of substituting groups, 50 kinds of sialic acids have been reported (Angata, T. and Varki, A., Chem.Rev, 102, 439-469, 2002), and these 50 kinds of sialic acids are known in different species and Tissue-specific distribution. In higher animals, sialic acid is connected to Gal, GlcNAc, GalNAc and sialic acid of glycoproteins, glycolipids and oligosaccharides through α-glycosidic bonds through the reaction of their respective specific sialyltransferases. [0003] Since the sialic acid of glycoconjugated glycans is located at the terminus o...
