Single-chain cd27-receptor agonist proteins

a single-chain, receptor-like technology, applied in the direction of peptide/protein ingredients, immunological disorders, metabolism disorders, etc., can solve the problems of difficult preparation of trimeric complexes of tnf superfamily cytokines from recombinant monomeric units, large molecular weight of trimerization domains, and inefficient trimerization, etc., to achieve short in vivo half-life and low proteolytic degradation

Benefits of technology

The invention provides proteins that can mimic the interaction between CD27 and CD27L in the body. These proteins are less likely to break down in the body and have a shorter lifespan compared to traditional monoclonal antibodies.

Problems solved by technology

Trimeric complexes of TNF superfamily cytokines, however, are difficult to prepare from recombinant monomeric units.
A disadvantage of these fusion proteins is, however, that the trimerization domain usually has a large molecular weight and / or that the trimerization is rather inefficient.
It was found, however, that the orientation of the polypeptide chains to each other, e.g. parallel or antiparallel orientation, can hardly be predicted.
Further, the optimal number of heptad-repeats in the coiled-coil zipper motif are difficult to determine.
In addition, coiled-coil structures have the tendency to form macromolecular aggregates after alteration of pH and / or ionic strength.
Recent experiments, however, have shown that these single-chain fusion polypeptides show undesired aggregation.

Expression and Purification

[0165]2.1 Cloning, Expression and Purification of Fusion Polypeptides

[0166]The aforementioned fusion proteins are expressed recombinantly in two different eukaryotic host cells employing the methods described below:

[0167]Method for Small Scale Expression of of CD27 Receptor Agonist Fusion Proteins:

[0168]For initial analysis of aforementioned CD27 receptor agonist fusion proteins, Hek293 cells grown in DMEM+GlutaMAX (GibCo) supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 units / ml Penicillin and 100 [mu]g / ml Streptomycin are transiently transfected with a plasmid containing an expression cassette for a fusion polypeptide and an appropriate selection marker, e.g. a functional expression cassette comprising a blasticidine, puromycin or hygromycin resistence gene. In those cases, where a plurality of polypeptide chains is necessary to achieve the final product, the expression cassettes will be either combined on one plasmid or positioned on different plasm ids during the transf...

SDS-PAGE Results of Dimer Proteins Expressed from Protein A

[0179]To determine if the homodimer of Protein A is covalently linked, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) experiments were performed under reducing and non-reducing conditions. The size of the main band under reducing conditions is only about half of the size as observed under non-reducing conditions. This indicates that the homodimer is covalently linked by disulfide bridges (see also FIG. 7).
