Abstract
Description
Fusion protein comprising dual functional domains and uses thereof
[0001] The present invention relates to a fusion protein comprising a dual functional domain and uses thereof. Specifically, the fusion protein comprises a first domain comprising a site that specifically binds to a first target; and a second domain comprising a site that specifically binds to an immune modulator or a second target; wherein the first target is a protein overexpressed in vascular cells or basal cells at a disease site, and the second target comprises a protein overexpressed or secreted on the surface of cancer cells or immune cells.
[0002] Antibody-based therapeutics are widely used in various fields, including cancer, inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, and immune disorders. However, clinical trials have shown limitations, including reduced efficacy due to low drug delivery rates and adverse effects caused by drug activity in normal tissues rather than the diseased site. To overcome these issues, extensive research is currently underway to develop drugs that are specifically delivered and activated at the site of disease.
[0003] Among these, research is actively being conducted to develop a system to overcome side effects caused by drug activity in non-diseased areas through disease-specific delivery and activity of drugs by binding to proteins overexpressed in vascular cells around the diseased area.
[0004] However, despite these efforts, a visible disease-specific drug delivery system and activation technology have not yet been developed, and further research is needed.
[0005] Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention have conducted repeated studies to increase the drug delivery efficiency specifically to the diseased site without affecting normal tissues, and as a result, they have confirmed that a fusion protein of a dual domain structure including a first domain that binds to a protein specifically overexpressed in vascular cells or basal cells of the diseased site and a second domain that binds to a protein specifically expressed in disease target cells accumulates specifically at the diseased site and exhibits drug activity specifically at the diseased site, thereby completing the present invention.
[0006] To achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention provides a fusion protein comprising a first domain including a site that specifically binds to a first target; and a second domain including a site that specifically binds to an immune modulator or a second target; and a fusion protein dimer comprising the same. In this case, the first target may be a protein overexpressed in vascular cells or basal cells at a disease site, and the second target may be a protein overexpressed or secreted on the surface of cancer cells or immune cells.
[0007] Another aspect of the present invention provides a polynucleotide encoding the fusion protein or a fusion protein dimer comprising the same, a vector comprising the polynucleotide, and a cell transformed with the vector.
[0008] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing a fusion protein or a fusion protein dimer, comprising the steps of culturing the transformed cell and obtaining the fusion protein or a fusion protein dimer comprising the fusion protein from the culture medium.
[0009] Another aspect of the present invention provides the fusion protein, a fusion protein dimer comprising the fusion protein, or a drug conjugate thereof (fusion protein-drug conjugate, fusion protein dimer-drug conjugate), and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a disease comprising the fusion protein as an active ingredient.
[0010] Another aspect of the present invention provides a cleavable peptide comprising any one amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 159, 160, 173 to 176 and combinations thereof.
[0011] Another aspect of the present invention provides a use of the fusion protein, a fusion protein dimer comprising the fusion protein, or a drug conjugate thereof (fusion protein-drug conjugate, fusion protein dimer-drug conjugate) for the prevention or treatment of a disease.
[0012] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for preventing or treating a disease, comprising administering to a subject the fusion protein, a fusion protein dimer comprising the fusion protein, or a drug conjugate thereof (fusion protein-drug conjugate, fusion protein dimer-drug conjugate).
[0013] ReleaDome (Fig. 1), a dual-functional domain construct according to the present invention, has a structure in which a first domain and a second domain are connected via a linker. At this time, the first domain binds to a protein specifically expressed or exposed in vascular cells or basal cells at the disease site, and the second domain can bind to a protein overexpressed in target cells at the disease site. In addition, the linker includes a substrate sequence that can be cleaved by a specific protease specifically expressed in the microenvironment of the disease site. Therefore, the construct is a novel construct that can be specifically activated at the disease site and thus can efficiently exert a therapeutic effect. In addition, a multi-specific fusion protein comprising the dual-functional domain construct can be designed to include various functions in various forms. Therefore, the dual-functional domain construct according to the present invention and the multi-specific fusion protein comprising the same can be utilized for various purposes as a substitute for conventional antibodies.

VEGFR1 binds to VEGF-A, VEGF-B, or PDGF, VEGFR2 binds to VEGF-A, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, or VEGF-E, and VEGFR3 binds to VEGF-C or VEGF-D. Each of the above VEGF receptors is activated through autophosphorylation with the receptor dimer when VEGF binds.

[0235] As used herein, the term "HER2", also known as ErbB-2 or CD340, refers to a protein belonging to the ErbB (HER / EGFR / ERBB) family. The ErbB family consists of four types of binding receptor tyrosine kinase subfamilies: ErbB-1 (HER1, EGFR), ErbB-2 (HER2 / neu), ErbB-3 (HER3), and ErbB-4 (HER4). All four types of receptors comprise an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain. The intracellular domain interacts with a number of signaling molecules in a ligand-dependent or -independent manner. In particular, the ligand for HER2 is not yet known. HER2 is known to function by forming a heterodimer with one of the other three types of receptors. The ErbB family of receptors is known to be involved in regulating cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation in addition to cell proliferation and survival. In particular, HER2 is known to be the most potent oncoprotein in breast cancer. When HER2 is at normal levels, it participates in the growth and development of normal mammary tissue. However, when HER2 is abnormally overexpressed or amplified, normal cell regulation is disrupted, leading to the formation of aggressive cancer cells in the mammary tissue. HER2 overexpression occurs in approximately 20-30% of invasive breast cancers, and overexpression is known to be associated with a poor prognosis of breast cancer, with a higher malignancy rate and more aggressive cancer.
[0236] In the present invention, HER2 may be included without limitation as long as it is derived from mammals, including humans, primates such as monkeys, and rodents such as rats and mice. In addition, the HER2 protein may include both a native or mutant HER2 protein, but is not limited thereto.

[0309] As used herein, the term "PD-L1" refers to a protein expressed on the surface of tumor cells or hematopoietic cells. It is also known as CD274 or B7H1. PD-L1 is a ligand for PD-1. When PD-L1 and PD-1 bind, they induce apoptosis of T cells, thereby weakening their immune activity.
[0310] In the present invention, PD-L1 may be included without limitation as long as it is derived from mammals, including humans, primates such as monkeys, and rodents such as rats and mice. In addition, the PD-L1 protein may include both a native or mutant PD-L1 protein, but is not limited thereto. The native PD-L1 protein generally refers to a polypeptide including the amino acid sequence of the native PD-L1 protein. The amino acid sequence and polynucleotide sequence for the PD-L1 protein can be obtained from known databases such as the GenBank of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the United States, and preferably may include the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 157.
[0311] In addition, it may be composed of a sequence in which one or more amino acids of the protein are added, deleted, or substituted, as long as it has the same activity as the protein or the gene location encoding the PD-L1 on the chromosome is the same. Specifically, PD-L1 may comprise or consist of an amino acid sequence having about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, or about 99% identity, or 100% identity, with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 157.
[0312] In one specific example, the second domain may include a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region of the anti-PD-L1 antibody Atezolizumab. Specifically, it may include a heavy chain variable region comprising HCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 895, HCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 898, and HCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 900, and a light chain variable region comprising LCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 982, LCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 680, and LCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 984. In this case, the heavy chain variable region may include the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 230, and the light chain variable region may include the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 231 (C28). Alternatively, the heavy chain variable region may include the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 237, and the light chain variable region may include the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 236. At this time, the second domain heavy chain variable region may be located in the light chain and the light chain variable region may be located in the heavy chain, or a fragment thereof (C31).
[0313] - Amyloid beta protofibrils
[0314] More specifically, the second domain may be an antibody or fragment thereof that binds to amyloid beta protofibrils (Aβ protofibrils).
[0315] As used herein, the term "Amyloid beta (Aβ) protofibrils" refers to an intermediate form of Aβ aggregates that are generated in the cascade of aggregation types from Aβ monomers to Aβ plaques. Although amyloid plaques composed of fibrillar deposits of Aβ are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, soluble Aβ, particularly oligomers and protofibrils, measured in the brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid of postmortem Alzheimer's patients are more associated with disease progression and are reported to be detrimental to synapses and neurons.
[0316] In the present invention, Aβ protofibrils may be included without limitation as long as they are derived from mammals, including primates such as humans and monkeys, and rodents such as rats and mice.
[0317] The amino acid sequence and polynucleotide sequence for the above Aβ protofibril can be obtained from a known database such as the GenBank of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the United States, and preferably includes the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 158.
[0318] Additionally, it may be composed of a sequence in which one or more amino acids of the protein are added, deleted, or substituted, as long as it has the same activity as the protein or has the same gene location encoding the amyloid beta on the chromosome. Specifically, the amyloid beta may comprise or consist of an amino acid sequence having about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, or about 99% identity, or 100% identity, with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 158.
[0319] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the second domain may include a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region of Lecanemab, an anti-Aβ protofibril antibody. Specifically, it may include a heavy chain variable region including HCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 908, HCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 910, and HCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 912, and a light chain variable region including LCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 986, LCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 920, and LCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 989. In this case, the heavy chain variable region may include the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 239, and the light chain variable region may include the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 240 (C33).
[0320] In the present invention, the immune modulator, antibody or fragment thereof, or antigen binding site forming the second domain is named “UNIT2.”
[0321] Linker
[0322] In the present invention, the first domain and the second domain of the fusion protein may be connected by a linker. In this case, the linker may be a first linker. Preferably, it may be a type 1 cleavable linker.
[0323] The ReleaDome of the present invention can exist in an inactive state at a non-disease site by having the first domain and the second domain connected by the first-type cleavable linker, whereby the binding affinity of the second domain is shielded by the first domain. In addition, when the ReleaDome is located at a disease site to which the first domain specifically binds, the cleavable linker is cleaved by a protease specifically expressed at the disease site, thereby dissociating the first domain and allowing the second domain to bind to the target, thereby exhibiting a pharmacological effect.
[0324] First linker
[0325] The first linker may be a peptide linker. Furthermore, the first linker may be a cleavable linker or a non-cleavable linker. Hereinafter, the cleavable linker of the first linker is referred to as a "type 1 cleavable linker," and the non-cleavable linker is referred to as a "type 1 non-cleavable linker." Furthermore, the first linker is often used interchangeably with "second component" or "B" in the present specification.
[0326] As used herein, the term "peptide linker" refers to a peptide composed of one or more amino acids. Typically, the peptide may be composed of 1 to 100 consecutive amino acids, 1 to 50 consecutive amino acids, 3 to 30 consecutive amino acids, or 5 to 15 amino acids. Peptide linkers are known in the art or described herein.
[0327] - Type 1 cleavable linker
[0328] As used herein, the term "type 1 cleavable linker" refers to a polypeptide linker comprising a cleavable peptide. The cleavable peptide is a polypeptide comprising a protease cleavage site, and can be specifically cleaved by a protease. As used herein, the "cleavable peptide" may be described interchangeably with the "substrate peptide." The protease is an enzyme that hydrolyzes a peptide bond between two specific amino acid residues within a target substrate protein. Accordingly, the "cleavage site" refers to an amino acid sequence within a target substrate protein that is recognized and cleaved by a protease, and the cleavable peptide may comprise the amino acid sequence of such a protease cleavage site (substrate sequence). The cleavable peptide is generally cleaved by an enzyme, typically a peptidase, protease, nuclease, lipase, or the like. Additionally, cleavable peptides can be cleaved by changes in environmental signals, such as temperature, pH, salt concentration, etc.
[0329] In the present invention, the cleavable peptide may include an amino acid sequence of a cleavage site that is cleaved by a protein decomposition enzyme that is specifically overexpressed or overactivated in a diseased site compared to a non-diseased site.
[0330] In one specific example, the cleavable peptide may comprise an amino acid sequence of a tumor-associated protease cleavage site. The tumor-associated protease may be a protease overexpressed in a tumor cell or tumor environment.
[0331] In one specific example, the cleavable peptide may comprise an amino acid sequence of a cleavage site of a protease associated with a degenerative brain disease (e.g., Alzheimer's disease). Here, the degenerative brain disease-associated protease may be a protease that is overexpressed in an environment where a degenerative brain disease has developed.
[0332] In the present invention, the masking effect of the first domain (first component) that shields the second domain (third component) may vary depending on the length of the cleavable peptide and the amino acid composition and arrangement.
[0333] The above cleavable peptides may exhibit different cleavage efficiencies and may not be cleaved or may exhibit very weak cleavage efficiencies at non-diseased sites.
[0334] Specifically, the protein-degrading enzymes specifically expressed in the disease site include human Matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-4, MMP-5, MMP-6, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-11, MMP-12, MMP-13, MMP-14, MMP-15, MMP-16, MMP-17, MMP-18, MMP-19, MMP-20, MMP-21, MMP-22, MMP-23, MMP-24, MMP-25, MMP-26, MMP-27, MMP-28, human Cathepsin A, Cathepsin B, Cathepsin C, Cathepsin D, Cathepsin E, Cathepsin F, Cathepsin G, Cathepsin H, Cathepsin K, Cathepsin L1, Cathepsin V, Cathepsin O, Cathepsin S, Cathepsin W, Cathepsin Z, human Eenterokinase (EK), human Thrombin (Thr), human tPA (, tissue plasminogen activator), human Granzyme BGrB), human uPA (urokinase-type plasminogen activator), human ADAMTs-5 (A disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type1 motif 5, A5), Kallikreins, human K1, human K10, human Plasmin, Collagenase, Type IV collagenase, Sromelysin, Factor Mirl CP, Papain, HIV-1 protease,It may be any one selected from the group consisting of HSV protease, CMV protease, Chymosin, Renin, Pepsin, Matriptase, Legumain, Plasmepsin, Nepenthesin, Metalloexopeptidases, Metalloendopeptidases, Prostate specific antigen (PSA / hK3), Interleukin-1β converting enzyme, Thrombin, FAPα, Dipeptidyl peptidase, Type II transmembrane serine proteases (TTSP), Neutrophil serine protease, Proteinase 3, Neutrophil serine protease4, Mast cell chymase, Mast cell tryptases, and combinations thereof, but is not limited thereto.
[0335] The above cleavable peptide may be composed of 2 to 20 consecutive amino acids. Specifically, the above cleavable peptide may be composed of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 consecutive amino acids.
[0336] Additionally, in the present invention, the cleavable peptide may include a variant. In this case, the variant (or PRS variant) refers to a cleavable peptide comprising a substrate sequence for one or more proteolytic enzymes. In this case, the composition and arrangement of the substrate sequences of each included proteolytic enzyme may be combined differently. Accordingly, the proteolytic enzyme that recognizes the cleavable peptide variant may be one or more types, and the cleavage efficiency of the substrate peptide may vary depending on the substrate sequence and the proteolytic enzyme.

[0416] Lilydom containing the seventh component
[0417] In the present invention, the fusion protein may additionally include a payload. In this case, the fusion protein and the payload may be linked via a linker. Specifically, the payload may be linked to the fusion protein via a linker at the C-terminus of the light chain constant region of the second domain of the fusion protein. The payload may be an anticancer agent, and the linker may be a second linker.
[0418] In this specification, the second linker and payload are referred to as the "seventh component" and are described interchangeably with "UNIT3." In addition, a fusion protein comprising the seventh component is described interchangeably with the term "fusion protein-drug conjugate."
[0419] Additionally, the fusion protein may further comprise a peptide motif to enhance binding with the seventh component. In this case, the fusion protein and the peptide motif may be linked via a first non-cleavable linker, and the peptide motif may bind to the seventh component via an enzymatic reaction.
[0420] In one specific example, the second domain of the fusion protein may comprise a type 1 non-cleavable linker and a peptide motif at the C-terminus of the light chain constant region (CL), wherein the peptide motif can bind to the seventh component through an enzymatic reaction.
[0421] - Peptide motif
[0422] The term "peptide motif" as used herein refers to an amino acid motif that can be recognized by an enzyme. In this case, the enzyme may be, but is not limited to, sortase, formylglycine generating enzyme (FGE), transglutaminase (TG), or isoprenoid transferase.
[0423] The above "sortase" is an enzyme derived from Gram-positive bacteria that recognizes the amino acid sequence 'LPXTG' and catalyzes the replacement of the terminal glycine (Gly) with a conjugation partner comprising an N-terminal glycine residue. Therefore, a fusion protein comprising the above amino acid motif at the C-terminus can be conjugated with a glycine-functionalized payload to form various fusion protein-drug conjugates. The amino acid motif can be LPXTG, LPXAG, LPXSG, LAXTG, LPXTG, LPXTA or NPQTG (wherein X is any amino acid, and preferably X is E or Q).
[0424] The above "FGE" recognizes the amino acid sequence of the amino acid motif "LCXPXR" (wherein X is serine (Ser), threonine (Thr), alanine (Ala), or glycine (Gly)) and oxidizes and converts cysteine (Cys) in the sequence into formyl-glycine having an aldehyde group. Therefore, a fusion protein including the above amino acid motif can form a Hydrazino-iso-Pictet-Spengler (HIPS) ligation to selectively form a fusion protein-drug conjugate at various positions.
[0425] The above "transglutaminase" generally catalyzes the formation of an amide bond between a glutamine (Gln) side chain and a primary amine in a finite small molecule. Among the above enzymes, the transglutaminase from Streptoverticillium mobaraense recognizes glutamine (Gln) within the "LLQG" amino acid sequence. Therefore, a fusion protein comprising the above amino acid motif can selectively form a fusion protein-drug conjugate at various positions.
[0426] The above "isoprenoid transferase" refers to an enzyme that can recognize a specific amino acid motif at or near the C-terminus of a protein and can selectively alkylate the thiol position of cysteine (Cys) residue(s) of the specific amino acid motif by adding isoprenoid unit(s) to the protein having the specific amino acid motif. Examples of the above isoprenoid transferase may include farnesyl transferase (FTase) and geranylgeranyl transferase (GGTase). Each of the above enzymes involves the transfer of a farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl residue to the C-terminal cysteine(s) of the target protein, respectively. At this time, the protein to which the C-terminal cysteine of the target protein is transferred as described above is called a functionalized protein. GGTase can be classified into GGTase I and GGTase II. FTase and GGTase I can recognize the CAAX motif, and GGTase II can recognize the XXCC, XCXC, or CXX motif (wherein C is cysteine, A is an aliphatic amino acid, and X is an amino acid that determines the substrate specificity of the isoprenoid transferase). In addition, isoprenoid transferase can recognize not only substrates but also isosubstrates. An isosubstrate refers to a substrate analog that has a modification in the substrate. A fusion protein containing the above amino acid motif at the C-terminus can be conjugated to a payload to form various fusion protein-drug conjugates.
[0427] In one specific example, the peptide motif may comprise a CAAX motif, and more specifically, may comprise the amino acid sequence CVIM (SEQ ID NO: 267). In this case, the first type non-cleavable linker may be GGGGGGG (SEQ ID NO: 266).
[0428] - Payload
[0429] In this specification, the term "payload" refers to a substance that is bound to a fusion protein and transported together with the fusion protein. The payload may be, but is not limited to, a drug, a toxin, a fluorescent substance, an affinity ligand, a diagnostic substance, or a detection probe.
[0430] In one specific example, the payload may be a fluorescent substance. Examples of the fluorescent substance include, but are not limited to, FITC, GFP, YFP, CFP, IRDye® 800CW, and the like.
[0431] In one specific example, the payload may be a drug.
[0432] More specifically, the drug may be an anticancer agent.
[0433] As used herein, the term "anticancer agent" collectively refers to all drugs effective in treating cancer. In the present invention, the anticancer agent may include any anticancer agent that can be used as the payload of the fusion protein-drug conjugate of the present invention.
[0434] More specifically, it may be Camptothecin, Cryptophycins, Duocarmycin (including synthetic analogues, KW-2189 and CB1-TM1), Calicheamycin, Adrlimycin, Doxorubicin, Maytansinoids, Taxoids, Taxotrer, Doxetaxel, Chloranbucil, Gemcitabine, Platinum analog auristatin, Geldanamycin, Vindesine, Dolastatin, Dolastatin analog's auristatin, PBD (Pyrrolobenzodiazepine) derivatives, α-amanitin, β-amanitin, etc. In addition, it may include, but is not limited to, compounds that bind to tubulin binding, DNA binding, polymerase, topoisomerases, kinases, and exhibit cell growth inhibition and toxicity, immune function modulating drugs (e.g., TLR (Toll-like receptor) 7, TLR8 antagonists, STING antagonists, etc.), and targeted protein degraders (e.g., PROTAC (Proteolysis-targeting chimera)).
[0435] In one specific example, the anticancer agent may be MMAF or MMAE.
[0436] Table 8 below illustrates examples of linkers and drugs that may be included in drug conjugates provided herein. Fusion protein-drug conjugates according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention may include these seventh components.

[0440] Specifically, the fusion protein according to the present invention may further include an Fc region or a variant thereof (fourth component) and / or an antigen binding site (seventh component), or an Fc region or a variant thereof (fourth component) and a linker-payload (seventh component) in ReleaDome, which is the minimum unit of the fusion protein of the present invention. In the present invention, the ReleaDome to which each of the above components is added is called a "multi-specific fusion protein." The ReleaDome and Each component is It can be connected via a linker. In this case, the linker used is the third linker, which is the same as described above.
[0441] The above multi-specific fusion protein may bind to at least one target or antigen.

[0443] In one specific example, the fusion protein may further comprise an Fc region or a variant thereof (fourth component). In this case, the fusion protein may be ReleaDome. ReleaDome is the same as described above.
[0444] In the present invention, the multi-antibody assembly rate, drug half-life (Pk), and effector functions of the multi-specific fusion proteins of the present invention can be controlled through the Fc region or a variant thereof, and multi-specific fusion proteins of various modality structures can be produced.
[0445] Hereinafter, the Fc region or its variant is described interchangeably with “fourth component” or “D”.
[0446] - Fc region and its variants
[0447] As used herein, the term "Fc region" refers to the Fc region of an immunoglobulin. The Fc region refers to a protein that includes the heavy chain constant region 2 (CH2) and the heavy chain constant region 3 (CH3) of an immunoglobulin, but does not include the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of the immunoglobulin, the heavy chain constant region 1 (CH1), and the light chain constant region (CL).
[0448] The Fc region of the above immunoglobulin may be a wild-type Fc domain or an Fc domain fragment. For example, the fragment of the Fc region may have lysine (K) deleted from the C-terminus. Alternatively, the fragment of the Fc region may contain only CH3. The immunoglobulin may be IgG, IgA, IgE, IgD, or IgM. Additionally, it may be IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4, which are subclasses of IgG, or IgA1 or IgA2, which are subclasses of IgA.
[0449] As used herein, the term "Fc region variant" refers to a variant that has a different glycosylation pattern than the wild-type Fc region, or may have increased glycosylation compared to the wild-type Fc region, decreased glycosylation compared to the wild-type Fc region, or a deglycosylated form. An aglycosylated Fc region is also included. The Fc region or variant may have a modified number of sialic acid, fucosylation, or glycosylation through culture conditions or genetic manipulation of the host.
[0450] Additionally, the sugar chains of the Fc region of the immunoglobulin can be modified by conventional methods, such as chemical methods, enzymatic methods, and genetic engineering methods using microorganisms. In addition, the Fc domain variant may be a mixed form of the Fc regions of the immunoglobulin IgG, IgA, IgE, IgD, or IgM. In addition, the Fc region variant may be a form in which some amino acids of the Fc region are substituted.
[0451] The “amino acid” introduced by the above substitution and / or addition may be any one selected from the group consisting of lysine (K), alanine (A), arginine (R), asparagine (N), aspartic acid (D), cysteine (C), glutamine (Q), glutamic acid (E), glycine (G), histidine (H), isoleucine (I), leucine (L), methionine (M), phenylalanine (F), proline (P), serine (S), threonine (T), tryptophan (W), tyrosine (Y), and valine (V).
[0452] Additionally, the Fc region variant may have a new linker introduced or a new domain substituted.
[0453] Additionally, the Fc region variant may include a knob structure or a hole structure.
[0454] "Knob-into-hole" is a design strategy for creating antibodies that bind specifically to different domains, such as bispecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies, or heterodimers. Generally, this technique involves introducing a knob at the interface of a first polypeptide chain (e.g., the first CH3 domain of a first antibody heavy chain) and a corresponding hole at the interface of a second polypeptide chain (e.g., the second CH3 domain of a second antibody heavy chain), such that the knob is positioned within the hole to promote heterodimer formation and prevent homodimer formation.
[0455] The 'knobs' are constructed by replacing small amino acid side chains from the interface of the first polypeptide (e.g., the first CH3 domain of the first antibody heavy chain) with larger side chains (e.g., arginine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, or tryptophan). Complementary 'holes' of the same or similar size to the knobs are created by replacing large amino acid side chains with smaller side chains (e.g., alanine, serine, valine, or threonine) at the interface of the second polypeptide (e.g., the second CH3 domain of the second antibody heavy chain). The knobs and holes can be created, for example, by site-specific mutagenesis of the nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide, or by alterations made during peptide synthesis.
[0456] Examples of knob-into-hole technology in the Fc region include mutations described in WO2014084607A1 and WO2018059502A1, etc. The disclosures of WO2014084607A1 and WO2018059502A1 are incorporated herein by reference. WO2014084607A1 discloses, for example, a binding of a tryptophan (W) substituted at Lys409 in one CH3 domain to a valine (V) substituted at Asp399 in another CH3 domain and a threonine (T) substituted at Phe405 in the CH3 domain (a-1); And (a-2) a binding of a serine (S) substituted at Tyr349 of one CH3 domain and a tryptophan (W) substituted at Glu357 of another CH3 domain, and further comprising (b-1) a binding of a glutamic acid (E) substituted at Lys360 of one CH3 domain and an arginine (R) substituted at Gln347 of another CH3 domain; and (b-2) a binding of a glutamic acid (E) substituted at Gln347 of one CH3 domain and a glutamic acid substituted at Lys360 and an arginine (R) substituted at Gln347 of another CH3 domain. Herein, the positions of the amino acid residues are according to the EU index. WO2018059502A1 describes, for example, a mutation of the Fc domain comprising one or more mutations selected from each of the following a)-e): a) L351G, L351Y, L351V, L351P, L351D, L351E, L351K, or L351W; b) T366L, T366P, T366W, or T366V; c) D399C, D399N, D399I, D399G, D399R, D399T, or D399A; d) Y407L, Y407A, Y407P, Y407F, Y407T, or Y407H; and e) K409C, K409P, K409S, K409F, K409V, K409Q, or K409R.Here, the positions of the amino acid residues are according to the EU index.
