Glycosylation by Pichia pastoris decreases the affinity of a family 2a carbohydrate-binding module from Cellulomonas fimi: a functional and mutational analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
When produced by Pichia pastoris, three of the five Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr sequences (corresponding to Asn-24, Asn-73 and Asn-87) in the carbohydrate-binding module CBM2a of xylanase 10A from Cellulomonas fimi are glycosylated. The glycans are of the high-mannose type, ranging in size from GlcNAc(2)Man(8) to GlcNAc(2)Man(14). The N-linked glycans block the binding of CBM2a to cellulose. Analysis of mutants of CBM2a shows that glycans on Asn-24 decrease the association constant (K(a)) for the binding of CBM2a to bacterial microcrystalline cellulose approx. 10-fold, whereas glycans on Asn-87 destroy binding. The K(a) of a mutant of CBM2a lacking all three N-linked glycosylation sites is the same when the polypeptide is produced by either Escherichia coli or P. pastoris and is approx. half that of wild-type CBM2a produced by E. coli.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
