Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides genetically engineered strains of Pichia capable of producing proteins with reduced glycosylation. In particular, the genetically engineered strains of the present invention are capable of expressing either or both of an agr;-1,2-mannosidase and glucosidase II. The genetically engineered strains of the present invention can be further modified such that the OCH1 gene is disrupted. Methods of producing glycoprotiens with reduced glycosylation using such genetically engineered stains of Pichia are also provided. La presente invencion proporciona cepas geneticamente disenadas de Pichia capaces de producir proteinas con glicosilacion reducida. En particular, las cepas geneticamente disenadas de la presente invencion son capaces de expresar cualquiera o ambas de a-1,2- manosidasa y glucosidasa II. Las cepas geneticamente disenadas de la presente invencion pueden ademas modificarse de tal forma que el OCH1 se rompe. Tambien se proporcionan los metodos para producir glicoproteinas con glicosilacion reducida utilizando tales cepas geneticamente disenadas de Pichia.
