Abstract

Trichoderma reesei is known as a good producer of industrial proteins but has hitherto been less successful in the production of therapeutic proteins. In order to elucidate the bottlenecks of heterologous protein production, human α-galactosidase A (GLA) was chosen as a model therapeutic protein. Fusion partners were designed to compare the effects of secretion using a cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI) carrier and intracellular production using a gamma zein peptide from maize (ZERA) which accumulates inside the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The two strategies were compared on the basis of expression levels, purification performance, enzymatic activity, bioreactor cultivations, and transcriptional profiling.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 October 2014.
All research outputs
#4,167,028
of 22,768,097 outputs
Outputs from BMC Biotechnology
#213
of 935 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#48,564
of 260,282 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Biotechnology
#15
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,768,097 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 935 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 260,282 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
