Embodiment 1

[0190] Example 1: Construction of a mutant Lcn2 phage display library

[0191] A combinatorial library of Lcn2 variants was generated based on cloned cDNA (Breustedt et al. (2006) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1764, 161-173) carrying the amino acid substitution Cys87Ser to remove a single unpaired thiol side chain (Goetz et al. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 1935-1941 ) and Gln28His to introduce a second BstXI restriction site. Mutations in this region and polymerase Chain reaction (PCR) assembly, at this time using such as in figure 1 One-pot amplification reaction of oligodeoxynucleotides (SEQ ID NO: 1-10). Oligodeoxynucleotides are designed such that primers having SEQ ID NO: 1-4 correspond to the coding strand and are at amino acid positions 36, 40, 41, 49, 52 or 68, 70, 72, 73, 77, 79, 81 or 96, respectively , 100, 103, 106 or 125, 127, 132, 134 carried degenerate codons, while primers with SEQ ID NO: 5-8 corresponded to the non-coding strand and carried no degenerate codons or a...

Embodiment 2

[0197] Example 2: Preparation of different forms of Aβ targets

[0198] The Aβ40 peptide (SEQ ID NO: 29) corresponding to amino acids 1 to 40 of the mature β-amyloid sequence (Dodel et al. (2003) Lancet Neurology 2, 215-220) was purchased as a synthetic lyophilized peptide with Lysine spacer-linked C-terminal biotin groups (Peptide Speciality Laboratory, Heidelberg, Germany) or in unlabeled form (W.M. Keck Laboratory, New Haven, USA). Obtained by dissolving up to 5 mg of the peptide in 0.5 mL of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP; Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) for at least 0.5 h at room temperature A homogeneous monomeric Aβ40 was obtained. Afterwards, HFIP was evaporated in a SpeedVac concentrator, and Aβ40 was dissolved in an appropriate volume of distilled water, followed by sonication (Bandelin, Sonorex, RK100, Germany) in cold water for 15 minutes. After filtration with a 0.22 μm filter (Spin-X centrifuge tube filter; Corning, USA), by using the calculated e...

Embodiment 3

[0207] Example 3: Selection of Lcn2 muteins with affinity for Aβ40 peptide by phage display

[0208] For each panning cycle, 2% (w / v) in PBS / T (PBS containing 0.1% (v / v) Tween20 [polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate; AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany]) ) BSA blocked PBS (4mMKH 2 PO 4 ,16mMNa 2 HPO 4 , 115mMNaCl, pH7.4) about 10 12 A recombinant phagemid for 1 hour. 50 μL and 25 μL of multiple streptavidin-coated magnetic bead suspensions (Dynabeads M-280 Streptavidin; DynalBiotech, Invitrogen, Karlsruhe, Germany and Streptavidin Magnetic Particles; Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) were washed with PBS / T, respectively, and then washed with PBS / T Block with 2% (w / v) BSA in T for 1 hr. 25 μL of blocked beads were used to pre-adsorb blocked phagemids to remove phagemids specific to the column, 50 μL was used afterwards for the first selection cycle.

[0209] Blocked phagemids were incubated with 25 μL of washed and blocked streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. The beads w...

Abstract

The present invention relates to novel libraries for generating muteins and novel muteins derived from human lipocalin 2 (Lcn2, hNGAL) and related proteins that bind a given target with detectable affinity. The invention also relates to corresponding nucleic acid molecules encoding such muteins and methods for producing said nucleic acid molecules. The invention further relates to methods for producing such muteins. For example, such mutant proteins could be used to bind and deplete disease-causing forms of natural biomolecules, such as amyloid-beta peptide in Alzheimer's disease, or to extraneously bind fibronectin, which is associated with tumor angiogenesis. Domain B is targeting.

Description

[0001] overview [0002] The present invention relates to novel libraries for generating muteins and novel muteins derived from human lipocalin 2 (Lcn2, hNGAL) and related proteins that bind a given target with detectable affinity. The invention also relates to corresponding nucleic acid molecules encoding such muteins and methods for producing said nucleic acid molecules. The invention further relates to methods for producing such muteins. Furthermore, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such lipocalin muteins as well as various uses of said muteins. [0003] The Lcn2 muteins according to the invention show potential as therapeutic and / or diagnostic reagents in several disease areas. For example, they can be used to bind and deplete disease-causing forms of natural biomolecules, such as amyloid beta peptide in Alzheimer's disease. In another embodiment, they can be used to specifically target various markers or toxins to disease-associate...
