The role of N-glycosylation in the secretion and activity of a Pichia anomala killer toxin was studied using tunicamycin. Secretion of the yeast toxin was localized using a specific monoclonal antibody. Preservation of the toxin killer effect was evaluated with two sensitive yeast strains. Tunicamycin did not affect the secretion of active toxin, suggesting that N-glycosylation does not appear to be involved in either toxin secretion or in killer activity.
