Arming yeast

Arming yeast cells are budding yeast cells covered with proteins, the gene sequences for which have been determined. Proteins are displayed on the surface of budding yeast cells genetically as fusion proteins with the C-terminal half of α-agglutinin. This yeast is called arming yeast. α-agglutinin is the most outer surface protein and is fixed to the cell walls by addition of β-1,6-glucan, which is the main component of cell walls, to a GPI anchor, which is an anchor to connect β-1,6-glucan with the cell. As a result, the displayed proteins are the most outer surface proteins.
