Abstract

Molecular display systems using yeast have been developed for industrial, medical, pharmaceutical, and biological studies. Although several host cells are available to construct a molecular display system, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a well-established and convenient organism in eukaryotes. A wide variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins have been displayed on yeast cell surfaces. In addition, functional analyses and applications to bioconversion have been performed on the cell surface, and cells are conveniently engineered by molecular display systems. In this review, we focus on the yeast molecular display system with regard to therapeutic proteins, several enzymes, and food ingredients. In addition, recent patents on molecular display using yeast cell for production of those compounds, screening technology and related techniques are introduced. Development of devices for functional analysis of created and modified proteins in the yeast display system is also described.
