Disruption of genes involved in CORVET complex leads to enhanced secretion of heterologous carboxylesterase only in protease deficient Pichia pastoris

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris ( Komagataella spp.) is a popular microbial host for the production of recombinant proteins. Previous studies have shown that mis‐sorting to the vacuole can be a bottleneck during production of recombinant secretory proteins in yeast, however, no information was available for P. pastoris . In this work the authors have therefore generated vps (vacuolar protein sorting) mutant strains disrupted in genes...
