Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date December 2006 Arming yeast cells are budding yeast cells covered with protein s, the Genomics gene sequences for which have been determined. Proteins are displayed on the surface of budding yeast cells genetically as fusion protein s with the C terminal half of alpha agglutinin agglutinin . This yeast is called arming yeast . agglutinin is the most outer surface protein and is fixed to the cell walls by addition of beta 1,6 glucan 1,6 glucan , which is the main component of cell walls, to a GPI anchor , which is an anchor to connect 1,6 glucan with the cell. As a result, the displayed proteins are the most outer surface proteins. The biological process is as follows. Firstly, the vectors, which have the genes of proteins with the C terminal half of agglutinins, are added to yeast cells. Second, the Cell nucleus nucleus makes the proteins with the C terminal half of the agglutinins. Next, secretory vesicle biology vesicles with the proteins are carried to the cell membrane and exocytosis occurs. Then the GPI anchor is fixed to the cell membrane and is released. Finally, the agglutinins are connected to the cell wall and the displayed proteins face out. In previous research, proteins were studied with destructive methods and the purification of the proteins was necessary. By using arming yeast cells, the displayed proteins on the cells can be measured directly. Category Genetically modified organisms Category Yeasts ... more details
