Dear Alan,

I'm aware of two other recent studies on Pichia glycoproteins.  They are:

Grinna, L. S. and Tschopp, J. F. (1989).  Size distribution and general
structural features of N-linked oligosaccharides from the methylotrophic
yeast, Pichia pastoris.  Yeast 5, 107-115.

Trimble, R. B., Atkinson, P. H., Tschopp, J. F., Townsend, R. R. and Maley,
F. (1991).  Structure of oligosaccharides on Saccharomyces SUC2 invertase
secreted by the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris.  J Biol Chem 266,
22807-22817.

Good luck.
