Embodiment 1

[1339] Example 1 - Mutations can be independently combined to modulate stability

[1340] The following mutations were made relative to SEQ ID NO: 1:

[1341]

[1342] These all increased the Tm of hSteA Y35W.

[1343] This suggests that the order of mutations does not matter. In other words, this demonstrates that stability (eg, Tm) modulating mutations taught herein can be independently made or independently combined.

[1344] An advantage of the present invention is that the specific stability-modulating mutations taught herein are independent of each other to achieve their respective effects.

Embodiment 2

[1345] Example 2: Heterologous Peptide Inserts

[1346] Testing the heterologous peptide GGSGGSGGS inserted into L2 and L4

[1347] 3 different positions per ring (9 combinations)

[1348] Measuring Thermal Stability on Optim 2

[1349] 3r2 measured without denaturant but stability out of range

[1350] 3r2 was measured again in the presence of 1M GuHCl to bring the Tm in range

[1351] 3t4 was measured in the presence of SYPRO Orange since there is no intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence in this peptide

[1352] In summary, the options for various examples are shown below:

[1353] SQT (SEQ ID NO: 24 of WO 2009 / 136182)

[1354]

[1355] 3r2 (SEQ ID NO: 19)

[1356]

[1357] 3t4 (SEQ ID NO: 23)

[1358]

[1359] 3r2 (SEQ ID NO: 19) / t4 (SEQ ID NO: 23)

[1360]

[1361] 3r2 (SEQ ID NO: 19) / t4 (SEQ ID NO: 23)

[1362]

[1363] 3r2 (SEQ ID NO: 19) / t4 (SEQ ID NO: 23)

[1364]

[1365] The result is as figure 1 shown.

[1366] This indicates that insertio...

Embodiment 3

[1379] 3r2-hSteA Y35W N32G V48D M65I Q42E T51L (A59V G60NΔD61N62G) (E29K K30EE33K) (SEQ ID NO: 19)

Description

[0001] Background of the invention [0002] WO 2009 / 136182 discloses mutations of prior art scaffold STMs using D48L and G50S which are disclosed to result in increased expression in bacterial systems (page 22, lines 12-13). [0003] Both WO 2009 / 136182 and WO 2006 / 131749 have previously disclosed that mutations at the V48 site of wild-type cystatin A, particularly V48D, can be used to eliminate domain switching dimerization (WO 2006 / 131749, pp. 35, line 25). [0004] In WO 2009 / 136182 simultaneous mutations of E78A and L80R of the scaffold SQT have been disclosed, as well as simultaneous mutations of L82R and T83S in the SQM scaffold (seam-riding paragraph on pages 22 to 23 of WO 2009 / 136182). These simultaneous mutant pairs have been disclosed to exhibit high expression in E. coli. [0005] WO 2009 / 136182 discloses modified Stefin A scaffold proteins. In particular, the disclosure in this document focuses on the "position 4 mutation", which corresponds to the G4 site of cys...
