Abstract Five different secretion vectors were constructed by varying the signal sequences and α-antitrypsin (α1-AT) a numan secretory protein, was produced from yeast cells. The signal sequences used are those of acid phosphatase (PH05) and α-factor (Mfα1) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, glucoamylase (STA1) of Saccharomyces diastaticus, and human α1-AT. Four vectors directed the efficient secretion of α1-AT ito the culture media. The secretion vector carrying the glucoamylase signal sequence (pGAT11) showed the highest efficiency of secretion. About 70% of α1-AT produce dwere secreted into the media. The endo H treatment of partially purified α1-AT indicates that the secreted α1-AT appeared to be glycosylated. This glycosylation pattern was altered when amino acid substitution mutations were introduced at the three glycosylation sites of α1-AT.
