Described herein are methods and genetically engineered fungal cells useful for producing target molecules containing mammalian-like complex N-glycans or containing intermediates in a mammalian glycosylation pathway.

Variant B4GALT1 genomic, mRNA, and cDNA nucleic acid molecules, and polypeptides, methods of detecting the presence of these molecules, methods of modulating endogenous B4GALT1 genomic, mRNA, and cDNA nucleic acid molecules, and polypeptides, methods of ascertaining the risk of developing cardiovascular conditions by detecting the presence or absence of the variant B4GALT1 genomic, mRNA, and cDNA nucleic acid molecules, and polypeptides, and methods of treating cardiovascular conditions are provided herein.

Described herein are methods and genetically engineered fungal cells useful for producing target molecules containing mammalian-like complex N-glycans or containing intermediates in a mammalian glycosylation pathway.

Methods for making a site-specific modification of a glycoprotein are provided which preserve the charge and glycoform of the glycoprotein. One or more glycans are trimmed from the glycoprotein, while keeping a core glycan attached to the glycoprotein. The removal of the one or more glycans provides access to a targeted amino acid for a site-specific reaction. The attached core glycan can optionally be utilized for modulation of the glycoprotein, or one or more glycans or reagents can be attached to the core.
