Use of combinatorial genetic libraries to humanize N-linked glycosylation in the yeast Pichia pastoris. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100 (2003) 5022-5027. This paper describes the first stages in the humanization of the N-linked glycosylation pathway of Pichia pastoris. Following the elimination of endogenous hyper-mannosylation, combinatorial libraries of mannosidase I and GnTI are used to produce the first in vivo hybrid N-glycan structures in yeast.

Humanization of yeast to produce complex terminally sialylated glycoproteins. Science 313 (2006) 1441-1443. Here the authors demonstrate the first production of sialylated complex N-glycans in yeast. By introducing three enzymes required for the synthesis of CMP-sialic acid, a CMP-sialic acid transporter and a sialyltransferase, the production of sialylated recombinant erythropoietin was demonstrated in humanized P. pastoris.

Nat Biotechnol 24 (2006) 210-215. This report describes the use of genetically engineered yeast strains to produce antibodies possessing distinct glycoforms. In doing so, they demonstrate the ability of specific glycoforms to enhance antibody-mediated effector functions.
