[0978] Activation of BBI by thiol reduction / oxidant

[0979] After growth, the activity of BBI (inhibition by trypsin or chymotrypsin) is usually 5-20 times lower than that expected from the BCE103 cellulase measured in the cell-free supernatant (in the fusion protein, both molecules should be present in a 1:1 molar ratio). Increases in BBI activity in BCE103-BBI fusion proteins can be routinely obtained by adding βME, typically at a concentration of 1-4 mM, to MBD growth media approximately 14 hours after inoculation (measured by trypsin or chymotrypsin activity). inhibition). The trypsin or chymotrypsin inhibitory activity of the BBI in the fusion protein was also lower than expected when the binding peptide (eg, VegF binding peptide CK37281) replaced the trypsin or chymotrypsin reactive site loop, respectively. As in the wild-type BBI, the inhibitory activity can be increased by treatment with βME. Unexpectedly, in these experiments, other thiol reducing agents (e.g., ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to modified variant Bowman Birk Protease Inhibitor proteins (BBPIs) that comprise peptides that bind target proteins, and that are further modified to have greater protease inhibitory activity and / or be produced at greater yields than the unmodified BBPIs. The invention encompasses polynucleotide constructs and expression vectors containing polynucleotide sequences that encode the modified variant BBPIs, the transformed host cells that express and produce the modified variant BBPIs, the modified variant BBPI proteins, the compositions comprising the modified variant BBPIs, and the methods for making and using the modified variant BBPIs in personal care.

Description

1. Field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to modified variant BOWMAN BIRK protease inhibitor proteins (BBPIs) comprising peptides that bind a target protein and further modified to have greater protease inhibitory activity than unmodified BBPI and / or to Greater yield production. The invention encompasses polynucleotide constructs and expression vectors comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a modified variant BBPI, transformed host cells expressing and producing said modified variant BBPI, modified variant BBPI proteins, Compositions comprising the modified variant BBPI, and methods for making and using the modified variant BBPI in personal care. 2. Background of the invention [0002] Proteases are involved in a variety of biological processes. Disruption of the balance between proteases and protease inhibitors is often associated with pathological tissue destruction. [0003] Various studies have focused on the role of proteases in tissue damage,...
