Pichia pastoris is a recombinant protein production system that was described in the 1998 first edition. This second edition is intended to be not so much a replacement of the first as an extension, focusing on information that has emerged over the past decade, particularly the increased range of proteins that can be made in useful amounts using the system. Researchers set out laboratory procedures step-by-step for such activities as saturating the secretory pathway by over-expressing a hookworm protein, and the heavy labeling of recombinant proteins.

This book focuses on recent developments of Pichia pastoris as a recombinant protein production system. Highlighted topics include a discussion on the use of fermentors to grow Pichia pastoris, information on the O- and N-linked glycosylation, methods for labeling Pichia pastoris expressed proteins for structural studies, and the introduction of mutations in Pichia pastoris genes by the methods of restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI). Each chapter presents cutting-edge and cornerstone protocols for utilizing P. pastoris as a model recomibinant protein production system. This volume fully updates and expands upon the first edition.
