[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 559,342, filed February 29, 2024, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.SUBMISSION OF SEQUENCE LISTING
[0002] The content of the following Sequence Listing XML is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety: file name: 10674-W001-SEC_Seqlisting, date created: February 21, 2025; size: 1,917,591 bytes.FIELD
[0003] The present disclosure provides polypeptides that agonize a glucagon receptor (“GCGR”), molecules comprising such polypeptides and a half-life extending domain (e.g., an Fc-containing polypeptide), including molecules comprising a polypeptide that agonizes a GCGR and an antibody that specifically binds to a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (“GIPR”), pharmaceutical compositions comprising such polypeptides and molecules, and methods of using such polypeptides, molecules, and pharmaceutical compositions in weight management and the treatment of obesity.BACKGROUND
[0004] Obesity is a chronic, heterogeneous, neurometabolic disease that has grown into an extremely prevalent public health problem. Obesity is projected to affect nearly a quarter of the world’s population by 2035 (World Obesity Federation’s World Obesity Atlas 2023), and obesity-associated morbidity has exerted a tremendous burden on patients and the healthcare system globally.
[0005] Incretin-based therapeutics have transformed type 2 diabetes management, with some recently developed agents, such as the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist semaglutide and the GLP-l / glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) dual agonist tirzepatide, also promoting notable weight reductions in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. GLP-1 and GIP are endogenous, gut-derived incretin hormones that regulate weight through theirreceptors. These incretins augment glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and play important roles in weight regulation. For example, GIP promotes fat storage in adipocytes, as well as pancreatic islet P-cell function and glucose-dependent insulin secretion, while GLP-1 promotes satiety.
[0006] GIP, formerly known as gastric inhibitory polypeptide, is a single 42-amino acid peptide secreted from K-cells in the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum). Food ingestion induces GIP secretion. Human GIP is derived from the processing of proGIP, a 153-amino acid precursor that is encoded by a gene localized to chromosome 17q. (Inagaki et al., Mol Endocrinol 1989, 3: 1014-1021; Fehmann et al. Endocr Rev. 1995; 16:390-410.)
[0007] The GIP receptor (GIPR) is a member of the secretin-glucagon family of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). GIPR is expressed in a number of tissues, including the pancreas, gut, adipose tissue, heart, pituitary, adrenal cortex, and brain. (Usdin et al., Endocrinology, 1993, 133:2861-2870.) GIPR knockout mice (Gipr'A) are resistant to high fat diet-induced weight gain and have improved insulin sensitivity and lipid profiles. (Yamada et al., Diabetes, 2006, 55:S86; Miyawaki et al., Nature Med., 2002, 8:738-742.)
[0008] GLP-1 is a 31 -amino acid peptide derived from the proglucagon gene. It is secreted by intestinal L-cells and released in response to food ingestion to induce insulin secretion from pancreatic P-cells. (Baggio et al., Diabetes, 2004, 53(S3): S205-S214.) In addition to its incretin effects, GLP-1 also decreases glucagon secretion, delays gastric emptying, and reduces caloric intake. (Drucker, Diabetes Care, 2003, 26(10): 2929-2940.) GLP-1 exerts its effects by activating the GLP-1 receptor, which belongs to a class B G-protein-coupled receptor. GLP-1 is rapidly degraded by the DPP-IV enzyme, resulting in a physiological halflife of approximately two minutes. Recently, long-lasting GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) such as exenatide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, and semaglutide have been developed and are now being used clinically to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
[0009] While incretin-based therapeutics have transformed the obesity treatment landscape, not all patients are able to tolerate GLP-1 -based therapies, which have been associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal adverse events (e.g., biliary disease, pancreatitis, bowel obstruction, and gastroparesis) in some patients. (Sodhi et al., JAMA, 2023,330(18): 1795-1797.) Moreover, some patients hit a weight loss plateau on GLP-l-based therapies but still need to further reduce their body weight. Accordingly, there remains a need for alternative therapeutic agents for use in weight management and the treatment or amelioration of obesity.SUMMARY
[0010] Glucagon is a 29-amino acid peptide hormone (HSQGT FTSDY SKYLD SRRAQ DFVQW LMNT (SEQ ID NO: 1576)) secreted by a-cells of the islet of Langerhans in the pancreas. Glucagon is involved in glucose homeostasis, lipolysis, and amino acid catabolism. Under normal physiological conditions, glucagon levels increase when blood glucose falls, which causes glycogen in the liver to be broken down into glucose for release into the bloodstream. Acute glucagon administration has been associated with increased energy expenditure and circulating insulin and glucose concentrations in adults without diabetes. (Frampton et al., IJO, 2022, 48: 1948-1959.)

[0136] The following definitions are provided to assist in understanding the scope of this disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs.
[0137] As used herein, the terms “a” and “an” mean “one or more” unless specifically indicated otherwise. Additionally, “one or more” and “at least one” are used interchangeably herein. Furthermore, unless otherwise required by context, singular terms shall include pluralities, and plural terms shall include the singular.
[0001] Where a range of values is provided, it is understood that each intervening value, to the tenth of the unit of the lower limit unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, between the upper and lower limit of that range and any other stated or intervening value in that stated range is encompassed within the disclosure. The upper and lower limits of these smaller ranges may independently be included in the smaller ranges also encompassed within the disclosure, subject to any specifically excluded limit in the stated range. Unless otherwise required by context, numeric ranges are inclusive of the numbers defining the range (i.e., the endpoints). Where the stated range includes one or both of the limits, ranges excluding either or both of those included limits are also included in the disclosure.
[0002] Other than in the Examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities (e.g., of ingredients or reaction conditions) used herein should be understood as modified in all instances by the term “about.” As used herein, “about,” when used in connection with a measurable numerical variable, refers to the indicated value of the variable and to all values of the variable that are within the experimental error of the indicated value (e.g., within the 95% confidence interval for the mean) or ± 10% of the indicated value, whichever is greater.
[0138] Generally, nomenclatures used in connection with, and techniques of, cell and tissue culture, molecular biology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, and protein and nucleic acid chemistry and hybridization described herein are those well-known and commonly used in the art. For example, the methods and techniques of the present application (e.g., recombinant polypeptide and nucleic acid methods) are generally performed according to conventional methods well-known in the art and as described in various general and morespecific references that are cited and discussed throughout the present specification unless otherwise indicated. See, e.g., Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 3rd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (2001), Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Greene Publishing Associates (1992), and Harlow and Lane Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1990), which are incorporated herein by reference. Illustratively, protein purification methods that can be employed to isolate a polypeptide, as well as associated materials and reagents, are known in the art, and additional purification methods that may be useful for isolating a polypeptide can be found in references such as Bootcov MR, 1997, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94: 11514-9, Fairlie WD, 2000, Gene 254: 67-76. Enzymatic reactions and purification techniques are performed according to manufacturer's specifications, as commonly accomplished in the art or as described herein. The terminology used in connection with, and the laboratory procedures and techniques of, analytical chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, and medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry described herein are those well-known and commonly used in the art. Illustratively, standard techniques can be used for chemical syntheses, chemical analyses, pharmaceutical preparation, formulation, and delivery, and treatment of patients. It should be understood that the subject matter of this disclosure is not limited to the particular methodology, protocols, and reagents, etc., described herein and as such may vary.
[0139] The term “naturally occurring,” as used herein in connection with biological materials such as polypeptides, nucleic acids, host cells, and the like, refers to materials which are found in nature.
[0140] As used herein, a “recombinant protein” is a protein made using recombinant techniques, i.e., through the expression of a recombinant nucleic acid, as described herein. Methods and techniques for the production of recombinant proteins are well-known in the art.
[0141] As used herein, the terms “amino acid” and “residue” are used interchangeably and, when used in the context of a polypeptide, refer to both naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs, amino acid mimetics, and non-naturally occurring amino acids that are chemically similar to the naturally occurring amino acids.
[0142] As used herein, a “naturally occurring amino acid” is an amino acid that is encoded by the genetic code, as well as those amino acids that are encoded by the genetic code that are modified after synthesis, such as, e.g., hydroxyproline, y-carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine. An amino acid analog is a compound that has the same basic chemicalstructure as a naturally occurring amino acid, i.e., an a carbon that is bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group, e.g., homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, or methionine methyl sulfonium. Such analogs can have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but will retain the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid.
[0143] Naturally occurring residues can be divided into classes based on common side chain properties:1) hydrophobic: norleucine, Met, Ala, Vai, Leu, He;2) neutral hydrophilic: Cys, Ser, Thr;3) acidic: Asp, Glu;4) basic: Asn, Gin, His, Lys, Arg;5) residues that influence chain orientation: Gly, Pro; and6) aromatic: Trp, Tyr, Phe.
[0144] Additional groups of amino acids can also be formulated using the principles described in, e g., Creighton (1984) PROTEINS: STRUCTURE AND MOLECULAR PROPERTIES (2d Ed. 1993), W.H. Freeman and Company. In some instances, it can be useful to further characterize substitutions based on two or more of such features (e.g., substitution with a “small polar” residue, such as a Thr residue, can represent a highly conservative substitution in an appropriate context).
[0145] As used herein, a “conservative amino acid substitution” can involve a substitution of a native amino acid residue (i.e., a residue found in a given position of a reference polypeptide sequence) with a non-native residue (i.e., a residue that is not found in a given position of the reference sequence) such that there is little or no effect on the polarity or charge of the amino acid residue at that position. Conservative amino acid substitutions also encompass non-naturally occurring amino acid residues that are typically incorporated by chemical peptide synthesis rather than by synthesis in biological systems. These include peptidomimetics, and other reversed or inverted forms of amino acid moieties.
[0146] Conservative substitutions can involve the exchange of a member of one of these classes for another member of the same class. Non-conservative substitutions can involve the exchange of a member of one of these classes for a member from another class.
[0147] Synthetic, rare, or modified amino acid residues having known similar physiochemical properties to those of an above-described grouping can be used as a “conservative” substitute for a particular amino acid residue in a sequence. For example, a D-Arg residue may serve as a substitute for a typical L-Arg residue. It also can be the case that a particular substitution can be described in terms of two or more of the above described classes (e.g., a substitution with a small and hydrophobic residue means substituting one amino acid with a residue(s) that is found in both of the above-described classes or other synthetic, rare, or modified residues that are known in the art to have similar physiochemical properties to such residues meeting both definitions).
[0148] Conservative substitutions can be determined by considering the hydropathic index of amino acids. The hydropathic profile of a protein is calculated by assigning each amino acid a numerical value (“hydropathy index”) and then repetitively averaging these values along the peptide chain. Each amino acid has been assigned a hydropathic index on the basis of its hydrophobicity and charge characteristics, e.g.: isoleucine (+4.5); valine (+4.2); leucine (+3.8); phenylalanine (+2.8); cysteine / cystine (+2.5); methionine (+1.9); alanine (+1.8); glycine (-0.4); threonine (-0.7); serine (-0.8); tryptophan (-0.9); tyrosine (-1.3); proline (-1.6); histidine (-3.2); glutamate (-3.5); glutamine (-3.5); aspartate (-3.5); asparagine (-3.5); lysine (-3.9); and arginine (-4.5).
[0149] The importance of the hydropathic profile in conferring interactive biological function on a protein is understood in the art (see, e.g., Kyte et al., 1982, J. Mol. Biol. 157:105-131). It is known that certain amino acids may be substituted for other amino acids having a similar hydropathic index or score and still retain a similar biological activity. In making changes based upon the hydropathic index, in certain embodiments, the substitution of amino acids whose hydropathic indices are within ±2 is included. In some embodiments, those which are within ±1 are included, and in some embodiments, those within ±0.5 are included.
[0150] It is also understood in the art that the substitution of like amino acids can be made effectively on the basis of hydrophilicity, particularly where the biologically functional protein or peptide thereby created is intended for use in immunological embodiments. In some embodiments, the greatest local average hydrophilicity of a protein, as governed by the hydrophilicity of its adjacent amino acids, correlates with its immunogenicity and antigenbinding or immunogenicity, that is, with a biological property of the protein.
[0151] The following hydrophilicity values have been assigned to these amino acid residues: arginine (+3.0); lysine (+3.0); aspartate (+3.0+1); glutamate (+3.0+1); serine (+0.3); asparagine (+0.2); glutamine (+0.2); glycine (0); threonine (-0.4); proline (-0.5+1); alanine (- 0.5); histidine (-0.5); cysteine (-1.0); methionine (-1.3); valine (-1.5); leucine (-1.8); isoleucine (-1.8); tyrosine (-2.3); phenylalanine (-2.5) and tryptophan (-3.4). In makingchanges based upon similar hydrophilicity values, in certain embodiments, the substitution of amino acids whose hydrophilicity values are within ±2 is included, in other embodiments, those which are within ±1 are included, and in still other embodiments, those within ±0.5 are included. In some instances, one may also identify epitopes from primary amino acid sequences on the basis of hydrophilicity. These regions are also referred to as “epitopic core regions.”
[0152] Non-limiting examples of conservative amino acid substitutions are set forth in Table 1.Table 1. Non-Limiting Example Conservative Amino Acid Substitutions
[0153] As used herein, an “amino acid mimetic” is a chemical compound that has a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid but that functions in a manner similar to a naturally occurring amino acid. Examples include, but are not limited to, a methacryloyl or acryloyl derivative of an amide, P-, y-, 5-imino acids (such as, e.g., piperidine-4-carboxylic acid), and the like.
[0154] As used herein, a “non-naturally occurring amino acid” is a compound that has the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid but is not incorporated into a growing polypeptide chain by the translation complex. “Non-naturally occurring amino acid” also refers to, but is not limited to, amino acids that occur by modification (e.g., post-translational modification(s)) of a naturally encoded amino acid (including but not limited to, the 20 common amino acids) but are not themselves naturally incorporated into a growing polypeptide chain by the translation complex. A non-limiting list of examples of non-naturally occurring amino acids that can be inserted into a polypeptide sequence or substituted for a wild-type residue in a polypeptide sequence include P-amino acids, homoamino acids, cyclic amino acids, and amino acids with derivatized side chains.Examples include (in the L-form or D-form; abbreviated as in parentheses) but are not limited to: citrulline (Cit), homocitrulline (hCit), Na-methylcitrulline (NMeCit), Na-methylhomocitrulline (Na-MeHoCit), ornithine (Om), Na-Methylomithine (Na-MeOm or NMeOrn), sarcosine (Sar), homolysine (hLys or hK), homoarginine (hArg or hR), homoglutamine (hQ), Na-methylarginine (NMeR), Na-methylleucine (Na-MeL or NMeL), N-methylhomolysine (NMeHoK), Na-m ethylglutamine (NMeQ), norleucine (Nle), norvaline (Nva), 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (Tic), Octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid (Oic), 3-(l- naphthyl)alanine (1-Nal), 3-(2-naphthyl)alanine (2-Nal), 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (Tic), 2-indanylglycine (Igl), para-iodophenylalanine (pl-Phe), para-aminophenylalanine (4AmP or 4-Amino-Phe), 4-guanidino phenylalanine (Guf), glycyllysine (abbreviated “K(Ns-glycyl)” or “K(glycyl)” or “K(gly)”), nitrophenylalanine (nitrophe), aminophenylalanine (aminophe or Amino-Phe), benzylphenylalanine (benzylphe), y-carb oxy glutamic acid (y-carboxyglu), hydroxyproline (hydroxypro), p-carboxyl-phenylalanine (Cpa), a-aminoadipic acid (Aad), Na-methyl valine (NMeVal), N-a-methyl leucine (NMeLeu), Na-methylnorleucine (NMeNle), cyclopentylglycine (Cpg), cyclohexylglycine (Chg), acetylarginine (acetylarg), a, P-diaminopropionoic acid (Dpr), a, y-diaminobutyric acid (Dab), diaminopropionic acid (Dap), cyclohexylalanine (Cha), 4-methyl-phenylalanine (MePhe), P, P-diphenyl-alanine (BiPhA), aminobutyric acid (Abu), 4-phenyl-phenylalanine (or biphenylalanine; 4Bip), a- amino-isobutyric acid (Aib), beta-alanine, beta-aminopropionic acid, piperidinic acid, aminocaprioic acid, aminoheptanoic acid, aminopimelic acid, desmosine, diaminopimelic acid, N-ethylglycine, N-ethylaspargine, hydroxylysine, allo-hydroxylysine, isodesmosine, allo-isoleucine, N-methylglycine, N-methylisoleucine, N-methylvaline, 4-hydroxyproline (Hyp), y-carboxyglutamate, £-N,N,N-trimethyllysine, £-N-acetyllysine, O-phosphoserine, N-acetylserine, N-formylmethionine, 3-methylhistidine, 5-hydroxylysine, co-methylarginine, 4- amino-O-phthalic acid (4APA), and other similar amino acids, and derivatized forms of any of those specifically listed.
[0155] As used herein, the term “antigen” refers to a molecule or a portion of a molecule capable of being bound by a selective binding agent, such as an antigen binding protein (including, e.g., an antibody), and additionally capable of being used in an animal to produce antibodies capable of binding to that antigen. An antigen may possess one or more epitopes that are capable of interacting with different antigen binding proteins, e.g., antibodies.
[0156] As used herein, an “antigen-binding region” refers to a protein, or a portion of a protein, that specifically binds a specified antigen. For example, that portion of an antigen-binding protein that contains the amino acid residues that interact with an antigen and confer on the antigen-binding protein its specificity and affinity for the antigen is referred to as “antigen binding region.” An antigen-binding region typically includes one or more “complementary binding regions” (“CDRs”) of an immunoglobulin, single-chain immunoglobulin, or camelid antibody. Certain antigen binding regions also include one or more “framework” regions. A “CDR” is an amino acid sequence that contributes to antigen binding specificity and affinity. “Framework” regions can aid in maintaining the proper conformation of the CDRs to promote binding between the antigen-binding region and an antigen.
[0157] As used herein, the term “polypeptide” refers to a polymer of amino acid residues. Polypeptides comprising between two and fifty amino acids may also be referred to as “peptides” herein. “Polypeptide” further encompasses an amino acid polymer in which one or more amino acid residues is an analog or mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, as well as to naturally occurring amino acid polymers. The term can also encompass an amino acid polymer that have been modified, e.g., by the addition of carbohydrate residues to form glycoproteins, or phosphorylated. Polypeptides can be produced by a naturally-occurring and non-recombinant cell, or polypeptides can be produced by a genetically-engineered or recombinant cell, and comprise molecules having the amino acid sequence of the native protein, or molecules having deletions from, additions to, and / or substitutions of one or more amino acids of the native sequence. The terms “polypeptide” and “protein” are used interchangeably herein.
[0158] As used herein, the term “polypeptide fragment” refers to a polypeptide that has an amino-terminal deletion, a carboxyl-terminal deletion, and / or an internal deletion ascompared with a reference polypeptide. Such fragments may also contain modified amino acids as compared with the reference polypeptide. In certain embodiments, fragments are five to 500 amino acids long. For example, fragments may be at least 5, 6, 8, 10, 14, 20, 50, 70, 100, 110, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, or 450 amino acids long.
[0159] As used herein, a “variant” of a polypeptide (e.g., an antigen-binding protein such as an antibody) comprises an amino acid sequence wherein one or more amino acid residues are inserted into, deleted from and / or substituted into the amino acid sequence relative to a reference polypeptide sequence. Variants include fusion proteins.
[0160] As used herein, a “derivative” of a polypeptide is a polypeptide (e.g., an antigen binding protein such as an antibody) that has been chemically modified in some manner distinct from insertion, deletion, or substitution variants, such as, e.g., via conjugation to another chemical moiety.
[0161] As used herein, the terms “chemical derivative” or “chemically derivatized,” with respect to a polypeptide, refer to a polypeptide that comprises one or more residues that have been chemically derivatized by reaction of a functional side group. Such derivatized molecules include, for example, those molecules in which free amino groups have been derivatized to form amine hydrochlorides, p-toluene sulfonyl groups, carbobenzoxy groups, t- butyloxy carbonyl groups, chloroacetyl groups, or formyl groups. For example, free carboxyl groups can be derivatized to form salts, methyl and ethyl esters, or other types of esters or hydrazides. Additionally, free hydroxyl groups can be derivatized to form O-acyl or O-alkyl derivatives, and the imidazole nitrogen of histidine can be derivatized to form Nim- benzylhistidine.
[0162] Non-limiting examples of derivatizations also include the following:
[0163] Chemical modification of the amino terminal of the polypeptide: In some embodiments, the N-terminus can be acylated or modified to a substituted amine, or derivatized with another functional group, such as an aromatic moiety (e.g., an indole acid, benzyl (Bzl or Bn), dibenzyl (DiBzl or Bn?), or benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz or Z)), N,N- dimethylglycine, or creatine). For example, in some embodiments, an acyl moiety, such as, but not limited to, a formyl, acetyl (Ac), propanoyl, butanyl, heptanyl, hexanoyl, octanoyl, or nonanoyl, can be covalently linked to the N-terminal end of the polypeptide. Other example N-terminal derivative groups include, but are not limited to, -NRR1(other than -NH2), - NRC(O)RJ, -NRC(O)ORJ, -NRS(O)2R1, -NHC(O)NHR1, succinimide, or benzyloxycarbonyl-NH- (Cbz-NH-), wherein R and R1are each independently hydrogen orCi-4 alkyl and wherein the phenyl ring may be substituted with 1 to 3 substituents independently selected from Ci-4 alkyl, Ci-4 alkoxy, chloro, and bromo.
[0164] Bond substitutions: In some embodiments, one or more peptidyl [-C(O)NR-] linkages (bonds) between amino acid residues can be replaced by a non-peptidyl linkage. Example non-peptidyl linkages include, but are not limited to, -CEk-carbamate [-CH2-OC(O)NR-], phosphonate, -CEE-sulfonamide [-CH2-S(O)2NR-], urea [-NHC(O)NH-], -CEE-secondary amine, and alkylated peptide [-C(O)NR6-, wherein R6is Ci-4 alkyl],
[0165] Derivatization of one or more individual amino acid residues: In some embodiments, lysinyl residues and amino terminal residues can be reacted with succinic or other carboxylic acid anhydrides, which reverse the charge of the lysinyl residues. Other suitable reagents for derivatizing alpha-amino-containing residues include, but are not limited to, imidoesters such as methyl picolinimidate; pyridoxal phosphate; pyridoxal; chloroborohydride; trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid; O-methylisourea; 2,4 pentanedione; and transaminase-catalyzed reaction with glyoxylate.
[0166] In some embodiments, arginyl residues can be modified by reaction with any one or more of several conventional reagents, including phenylglyoxal, 2,3-butanedione, 1,2- cyclohexanedione, and ninhydrin. Derivatization of arginyl residues requires that the reaction be performed in alkaline conditions because of the high pKa of the guanidine functional group. Furthermore, these reagents can react with the groups of lysine as well as the arginine epsilon-amino group.
[0167] Specific modification of tyrosyl residues has been studied extensively, with particular interest in introducing spectral labels into tyrosyl residues by reaction with aromatic diazonium compounds or tetranitromethane. Most commonly, N-acetylimidizole and tetranitromethane are used to form O-acetyl tyrosyl species and 3 -nitro derivatives, respectively.
[0168] In some embodiments, carboxyl sidechain groups (aspartyl or glutamyl) can be selectively modified by reaction with carbodiimides (R'-N=C=N-R') such as l-cyclohexyl-3- (2-morpholinyl-(4-ethyl) carbodiimide or l-ethyl-3-(4-azonia-4,4-dimethylpentyl) carbodiimide. Furthermore, in some embodiment, aspartyl and glutamyl residues can be converted to asparaginyl and glutaminyl residues by reaction with ammonium ions.
[0169] In some embodiments, glutaminyl and asparaginyl residues can be deamidated to the corresponding glutamyl and aspartyl residues. In alternative embodiments, these residues are deamidated under mildly acidic conditions.
[0170] In some embodiments, cysteinyl residues can be replaced by amino acid residues or other moieties either to eliminate disulfide bonding or, conversely, to stabilize cross-linking. (See, e.g., Bhatnagar et al., J. Med. Chem., 39:3814-3819 (1996)).
[0171] Other possible modifications include, but are not limited to, hydroxylation of proline and lysine, phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups of seryl or threonyl residues, oxidation of the sulfur atom in Cys, methylation of the alpha-amino groups of lysine, arginine, and histidine side chains. Creighton, Proteins: Structure and Molecule Properties (W. H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco), 79-86 (1983).
[0172] As used herein, the term “alkyl” refers to a saturated straight chain hydrocarbon or saturated branched chain hydrocarbon containing the indicated number of carbon atoms. For example, C3 alkyl means an alkyl group that has 3 carbon atoms (e.g., n-propyl or isopropyl). For example, a C1-6 alkyl refers to an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Where a range is indicated, all members of that range and all subgroups within that range are envisioned. For example, a C1-6 alkyl includes alkyl groups having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 carbon atoms (or any combination of the foregoing), as well as all subgroups in the indicated range (e.g., 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, 3-4, 3-5, 3-6, 4-5, 4-6, or 5-6 carbon atoms, or any combination of the foregoing ranges)). A “Ci-4 alkyl” includes, for example, methyl, ethyl, n- propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, or t-butyl. Nonlimiting examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, n- pentyl, and n-hexyl.
[0173] A molecule of the present disclosure that includes a polypeptide which is covalently linked, attached, or bound, either directly or indirectly through a linker moiety (e.g., a linker polypeptide), to another polypeptide, such as, e.g., an anti-GIPR antibody of the present disclosure, may be described herein as a “conjugate.”
[0174] As used herein, the term “thiol” refers to a — SH group.
[0175] As used herein, the terms “alkoxy” and “alkoxyl” are interchangeable and refer to an — O-alkyl group, where the alkyl group is as defined elsewhere herein. For example, a Cialkoxy group means the alkoxy group has 3 carbon atoms (e.g., OCH2CH2CH3). Where a range is indicated, all members of that range and all subgroups within that range are envisioned. For example, a Ci-ealkoxy includes alkoxy groups having 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 carbon atoms, or any combination of the foregoing, as well as all subgroups in the indicated range (e.g., 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, 3-4, 3-5, 3-6, 4-5, 4-6, and 5-6 carbon atoms, or any combination ofthe foregoing). Nonlimiting examples of alkoxy groups include methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, 1 -methylethyloxy (iso-propoxy), n-butoxy, isobutoxy, sec-butoxy, and tert-butoxy.
[0176] As used herein, the term “linker moiety” refers to a biologically acceptable peptidyl or non-peptidyl organic group that is covalently bound to a first molecule (e.g., a first polypeptide) and covalently joins or conjugates the molecule to a second molecule (e.g., a second polypeptide). Where the linker moiety consists of a polypeptide or a polypeptide derivative (e.g., a polypeptide that has been chemically modified at one or both of the N- terminus and C-terminus to incorporate a functional group that permits conjugation to the first or second molecule), it may be referred to as a “linker polypeptide” herein. For example, in some embodiments, a linker polypeptide may comprise an acetylated N-terminus (e.g., when a thiol-bromoacetyl reaction was used to conjugate the derivatized N-terminus of the linker polypeptide to a cysteine residue of a polypeptide by forming a thioether linkage that comprises a sulfur atom of the cysteine residue).
[0177] As used herein, the term “isolated polypeptide” refers to a polypeptide that has been separated from at least about 50 percent of polypeptides, lipids, carbohydrates, polynucleotides, or other materials with which the polypeptide is naturally found when isolated from a source cell. In some embodiments, the isolated polypeptide is substantially free from any other contaminating polypeptides or other contaminants that are found in its natural environment that would interfere with its therapeutic, diagnostic, prophylactic, or research use.
[0178] As used herein, the term “antigen-binding protein” refers to any protein that specifically binds a specified target antigen, such as a GIPR polypeptide (e.g., a human GIPR polypeptide such as those provided in SEQ ID NOs: 1577, 1578, or 1579). The term encompasses intact antibodies that comprise at least two full-length heavy chains and two full-length light chains, as well as derivatives, variants, fragments, and mutations thereof. An antigen-binding protein also includes domain antibodies such as nanobodies and scFvs as described further below.
[0179] An antigen-binding protein, such as, e.g., an anti-GIPR polypeptide, is said to “specifically bind” its target antigen when the antigen binding protein exhibits essentially background binding to non-target antigen molecules. An antigen binding protein that specifically binds a target antigen may, however, cross-react with target antigens from different species. Typically, an antigen binding protein specifically binds its target antigen when the dissociation constant (KD) is <10'7M as measured via a surface plasma resonancetechnique (e.g., BIACore, GE-Healthcare Uppsala, Sweden) or Kinetic Exclusion Assay (KinExA, Sapidyne, Boise, Idaho). An antigen-binding protein specifically binds its target antigen with “high affinity” when the KD is <5x 10'9M, and with “very high affinity” when the KD is <5x IO'10M, as measured using methods described.
[0180] As used herein, the term “epitope” is the portion of a molecule that is bound by an antigen-binding protein (e.g., an antibody). The term includes any determinant capable of specifically binding to an antigen-binding protein, such as an antibody. An epitope can be contiguous or non-contiguous (discontinuous) (e.g., amino acid residues that are not contiguous to one another in an amino acid sequence but that within in context of the molecule are bound by the antigen-binding protein). A conformational epitope is an epitope that exists within the conformation of an active protein but is not present in a denatured protein. In some embodiments, epitopes may be mimetic in that they comprise a three dimensional structure that is similar to an epitope used to generate the antigen-binding protein, yet comprise none or only some of the amino acid residues found in that epitope used to generate the antigen binding protein. More often, epitopes reside on proteins, but in some instances may reside on other kinds of molecules, such as nucleic acids. Epitope determinants may include chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids, sugar side chains, phosphoryl or sulfonyl groups, and may have specific three dimensional structural characteristics, and / or specific charge characteristics. Generally, antigen-binding proteins specific for a particular target antigen will preferentially recognize an epitope on the target antigen in a complex mixture of proteins and / or macromolecules.
[0181] As used herein, a “bivalent antigen-binding protein” (e.g., a bivalent antibody) comprises two antigen binding regions. In some instances, the two binding regions have the same antigen specificities. Bivalent antigen binding proteins and bivalent antibodies may be bispecific.
[0182] As used herein, a “multispecific antigen-binding protein” (e.g., a multispecific antibody) is an antigen-binding protein that targets more than one antigen or epitope.
[0183] As used herein, a “bispecific,” “dual-specific” or “bifunctional” antigen-binding protein (e.g., antibody) is a hybrid antigen-binding protein having two different antigen binding sites. Bispecific antigen-binding proteins are a subclass of multispecific antigen-binding proteins and may be produced by a variety of methods including, but not limited to, fusion of hybridomas or linking of Fab' fragments. See, e.g., Songsivilai and Lachmann, 1990, Clin. Exp. Immunol. 79:315-321; Kostelny et al., 1992, J. Immunol.148: 1547-1553. The two binding sites of a bispecific antigen binding protein will bind to two different epitopes, which may reside on the same or different protein targets.
[0184] As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to an intact immunoglobulin of any isotype, and includes, for instance, chimeric, humanized, fully human, and bispecific antibodies. An “antibody” as such is a species of an antigen-binding protein. An antibody generally comprises two full-length heavy chains and two full-length light chains. Antibodies may be derived solely from a single source, or may be “chimeric,” that is, different portions of the antibody may be derived from two different antibodies as described further below.
[0185] As used herein, the term “light chain” or “immunoglobulin light chain” refers to a polypeptide comprising, from amino terminus (N-terminus) to carboxyl terminus (C-terminus), a single immunoglobulin light chain variable region (VL) and a single immunoglobulin light chain constant domain (CL). The immunoglobulin light chain constant domain (CL) can be a human kappa (K) or human lambda (A) constant domain.
[0186] As used herein, the term “heavy chain” or “immunoglobulin heavy chain” refers to a polypeptide comprising, from amino terminus (N-terminus) to carboxyl terminus (C-terminus), a single immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (VH), an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant domain 1 (CHI), an immunoglobulin hinge region, an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant domain 2 (CH2), an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant domain 3 (CH3), and optionally an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant domain 4 (CH4). Heavy chains are classified as mu (p), delta (A), gamma (y), alpha (a), and epsilon (a), and define the antibody's isotype as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. The IgG-class and IgA-class antibodies are further divided into subclasses, namely, IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, and IgAl and IgA2, respectively. The heavy chains in IgG, IgA, and IgD antibodies have three constant domains (CHI, CH2, and CH3), whereas the heavy chains in IgM and IgE antibodies have four constant domains (CHI, CH2, CH3, and CH4). The immunoglobulin heavy chain constant domains can be from any immunoglobulin isotype, including subtypes. The antibody chains are linked together via inter-polypeptide disulfide bonds between the CL domain and the CHI domain (i.e. between the light and heavy chain) and between the hinge regions of the two antibody heavy chains.
[0187] Variable regions of immunoglobulin chains generally exhibit the same overall structure, comprising relatively conserved framework regions (FR) joined by three hypervariable regions, more often called “complementarity determining regions” or CDRs. The CDRs from the two chains of each heavy chain and light chain pair typically are alignedby the framework regions to form a structure that binds specifically to a specific epitope on the target protein. From N-terminus to C-terminus, naturally-occurring light and heavy chain variable regions both typically conform with the following order of these elements: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. A numbering system has been devised for assigning numbers to amino acids that occupy positions in each of these domains. This numbering system is defined in Kabat Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (1987 and 1991, NIH, Bethesda, MD), or Chothia & Lesk, 1987, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917; Chothia et al., 1989, Nature 342:878-883. The CDRs and FRs of a given antibody may be identified using this system. Other numbering systems for the amino acids in immunoglobulin chains include IMGT® (the international ImMunoGeneTics information system; Lefranc et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol. 29: 185-203; 2005) and AHo (Honegger and Pluckthun, J. Mol. Biol. 309(3):657-670; 2001).
[0188] As used herein, the term “immunologically functional fragment” (or simply “fragment” or “functional fragment”) of an antibody is an antigen-binding protein comprising a portion (regardless of how that portion is obtained or synthesized) of an antibody that lacks at least some of the amino acids present in a full-length chain but which is capable of specifically binding to the same antigen at the same epitope as the antibody. Such fragments are biologically active in that they bind specifically to the target antigen and can compete with other antigen binding proteins, including intact antibodies, for specific binding to a given epitope. These biologically active fragments may be produced by recombinant DNA techniques, or may be produced by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of antigen binding proteins, including intact antibodies. Immunologically functional immunoglobulin fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab', and F(ab')2 fragments.
[0189] Papain digestion of antibodies produces two identical antigen-binding proteins, called “Fab” fragments, each with a single antigen-binding site, and a residual “Fc” fragment which contains all but the first domain of the immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region. The Fab fragment contains the variable domains from the light and heavy chains, as well as the constant domain of the light chain and the first constant domain (CHI) of the heavy chain. Thus, a “Fab fragment” is comprised of one immunoglobulin light chain (light chain variable region (VL) and constant region (CL)) and the CHI domain and variable region (VH) of one immunoglobulin heavy chain. The heavy chain of a Fab molecule cannot form a disulfide bond with another heavy chain molecule. The “Fd fragment” comprises the VH and CHIdomains from an immunoglobulin heavy chain. The Fd fragment represents the heavy chain component of the Fab fragment.
[0190] As used herein, a “Fc fragment” or “Fc region” of an immunoglobulin generally comprises two constant domains, a CH2 domain and a CH3 domain, and optionally comprises a CH4 domain. The Fc region may be an Fc region from an IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 immunoglobulin. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises CH2 and CH3 domains from a human IgGl or human IgG2 immunoglobulin. The Fc region may retain effector function, such as Clq binding, complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), and phagocytosis. In other embodiments, the Fc region may be modified to reduce or eliminate effector function.
[0191] As used herein, a “Fab1fragment” contains one light chain and a portion of one heavy chain that contains the VH domain and the CHI domain and also the region between the CHI and CH2 domains, such that an interchain disulfide bond can be formed between the two heavy chains of two Fab' fragments to form an F(ab')2 molecule.
[0192] As used herein, a “F(ab')2 fragment” contains two light chains and two heavy chains containing a portion of the constant region between the CHI and CH2 domains, such that an interchain disulfide bond is formed between the two heavy chains. A F(ab')2 fragment thus is composed of two Fab' fragments that are held together by a disulfide bond between the two heavy chains.
[0193] As used herein, a “Fv region” comprises the variable regions from both the heavy and light chains, but lacks the constant regions. The “Fv” fragment is the minimum fragment that contains a complete antigen recognition and binding site from an antibody. This fragment consists of a dimer of one immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (VH) and one immunoglobulin light chain variable region (VL) in tight, non-covalent association. It is in this configuration that the three CDRs of each variable region interact to define an antigen binding site on the surface of the VH-VL dimer. A single light chain or heavy chain variable region (or half of an Fv fragment comprising only three CDRs specific for an antigen) has the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although at a lower affinity than the entire binding site comprising both VH and VL.
[0194] As used herein, a “single-chain variable fragment” or “scFv fragment” comprises the VH and VL regions of an antibody, wherein these regions are present in a single polypeptide chain, and optionally comprising a peptide linker between the VH and VL regions thatenables the Fv to form the desired structure for antigen binding (see e.g., Bird et al., Science, Vol. 242:423-426, 1988; and Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 85:5879-5883, 1988).
[0195] As used herein, a “nanobody” is the heavy chain variable region of a heavy-chain antibody. Such variable domains are the smallest fully functional antigen-binding fragment of such heavy-chain antibodies with a molecular mass of only 15 kDa. See Cortez -Retamozo et al., Cancer Research 64:2853-57, 2004. Functional heavy-chain antibodies devoid of light chains are naturally occurring in certain species of animals, such as nurse sharks, wobbegong sharks, and Camelidae, such as camels, dromedaries, alpacas and llamas. The antigen-binding site is reduced to a single domain, the VHH domain, in these animals. These antibodies form antigen-binding regions using only heavy chain variable region, i.e., these functional antibodies are homodimers of heavy chains only having the structure H2L2 (referred to as “heavy-chain antibodies” or “HCAbs”). Camelized VHH reportedly recombines with IgG2 and IgG3 constant regions that contain hinge, CH2, and CH3 domains and lack a CHI domain. Camelized VHH domains have been found to bind to antigen with high affinity (Desmyter et al., J. Biol. Chem., Vol. 276:26285-90, 2001) and possess high stability in solution (Ewert et al., Biochemistry, Vol. 41 :3628-36, 2002). Methods for generating antibodies having camelized heavy chains are described in, for example, U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 2005 / 0136049 and 2005 / 0037421. Alternative scaffolds can be made from human variable-like domains that more closely match the shark V-NAR scaffold and may provide a framework for a long penetrating loop structure.
[0196] As used herein, the term “heavy chain-only antibody” refers to an immunoglobulin protein consisting of two heavy chain polypeptides (such as, e.g., heavy chain polypeptides that are about 50-70 kDa each). A “heavy chain-only antibody” lacks the two light chain polypeptides found in a conventional antibody. Heavy-chain antibodies constitute about one-fourth of the IgG antibodies produced by the camelids, e.g., camels and llamas (Hamers-Casterman C., et al. Nature. 363, 446-448 (1993)). These molecules are formed by two heavy chains but are devoid of light chains. As a consequence, the variable antigen binding part is referred to as the VHH domain, and it represents the smallest naturally occurring, intact, antigen-binding site, being only around 120 amino acids in length (Desmyter, A., et al. J. Biol. Chem. 276, 26285-26290 (2001)). Heavy chain antibodies with a high specificity and affinity can be generated against a variety of antigens through immunization (van der Linden, R. H., et al. Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1431, 37-46 (1999)),and the VHH portion can be readily cloned and expressed in yeast (Frenken, L. G. J., et al. J. Biotechnol. 78, 11-21 (2000)). Their levels of expression, solubility and stability are significantly higher than those of classical F(ab) or Fv fragments (Ghahroudi, M. A. et al. FEBS Lett. 414, 521-526 (1997)). Sharks have also been shown to have a single VH-like domain in their antibodies, termed VNAR. (Nuttall et al. Eur. J. Biochem. 270, 3543-3554 (2003); Nuttall et al. Function and Bioinformatics 55, 187-197 (2004); Dooley et al., Molecular Immunology 40, 25-33 (2003).)
[0197] In some embodiments, a “heavy chain-only antibody” is a dimeric antibody comprising a VH antigen-binding domain and the CH2 and CH3 constant domains, in the absence of the CHI domain. In some embodiments, a heavy chain-only antibody is composed of a variable region antigen-binding domain composed of framework 1, CDR1, framework 2, CDR2, framework 3, CDR3, and framework 4. In some embodiments, a heavy chain-only antibody is composed of an antigen-binding domain, at least part of a hinge region, and CH2 and CH3 domains. In some embodiments, a heavy chain-only antibody is composed of an antigen-binding domain, at least part of a hinge region, and a CH2 domain. In some embodiments, a heavy chain-only antibody is composed of an antigen-binding domain, at least part of a hinge region, and a CH3 domain.
[0198] Heavy chain-only antibodies in which the CH2 and / or CH3 domain is truncated are also included herein. The heavy chain-only antibodies described herein may belong to the IgG subclass, but heavy chain-only antibodies belonging to other subclasses, such as IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE subclass, are also included herein. In some embodiments, a heavy chain- only antibody may belong to the IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 subtype, e.g., the IgGl or IgG4 subtype. In some embodiments, a heavy chain antibody-only is of the IgGl or IgG4 subtype, wherein one or more of the CH domains is modified to alter an effector function of the antibody. In some embodiments, a heavy chain-only antibody is of the IgG4 subtype, wherein one or more of the CH domains is modified to alter an effector function of the antibody. In some embodiments, a heavy chain-only antibody is of the IgGl subtype, wherein one or more of the CH domains is modified to alter an effector function of the antibody. Modifications of CH domains that alter effector function are further described herein. Non-limiting examples of heavy-chain-only antibodies are described, for example, in W02018 / 039180, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference herein in its entirety.
[0199] As used herein, the term “three-chain antibody like molecule” or “TCA” refers to an antibody-like molecule comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of threepolypeptide subunits, two of which comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of one heavy and one light chain of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragments of such antibody chains, comprising an antigen-binding region and at least one CH domain. This heavy chain / light chain pair has binding specificity for a first antigen. The third polypeptide subunit comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of a heavy-chain only antibody comprising an Fc portion comprising CH2 and / or CH3 and / or CH4 domains, in the absence of a CHI domain, and one or more antigen binding domains (such as, e.g., two antigen binding domains) that binds an epitope of a second antigen or a different epitope of the first antigen, where such binding domain is derived from or has sequence identity with the variable region of an antibody heavy or light chain. Parts of such variable region may be encoded by VH and / or VL gene segments, D and JH gene segments, or JL gene segments. The variable region may be encoded by rearranged VHDJH, VLDJH, VHJL, or VLJL gene segments.
[0200] As used herein, the term “identical,” in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same.
[0201] As used herein, “percent identity” means the percent of identical residues between the amino acids or nucleotides in compared molecules and is calculated based on the size of the smallest of the molecules being compared. For these calculations, gaps in alignments (if any) can be addressed by a particular mathematical model or computer program (i.e., an “algorithm”). Methods that can be used to calculate the identity of the aligned nucleic acids or polypeptides include those described in Computational Molecular Biology, (Lesk, A. M., ed.), (1988) New York: Oxford University Press; Biocomputing Informatics and Genome Projects, (Smith, D. W., ed.), 1993, New York: Academic Press; Computer Analysis of Sequence Data, Part I, (Griffin, A. M., and Griffin, H. G., eds.), 1994, New Jersey: Humana Press; von Heinje, G., (1987) Sequence Analysis in Molecular Biology, New York: Academic Press; Sequence Analysis Primer, (Gribskov, M. and Devereux, J., eds.), 1991, New York: M. Stockton Press; and Carillo et al., (1988) SIAM J. Applied Math. 48: 1073.
[0202] In calculating percent identity, the sequences being compared are aligned in a way that gives the largest match between the sequences. The computer program used to determine percent identity is the GCG program package, which includes GAP (Devereux et al., (1984) Nucl. Acid Res. 12:387; Genetics Computer Group, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI). The computer algorithm GAP is used to align the two polypeptides or polynucleotides for which the percent sequence identity is to be determined. The sequences are aligned for optimal matching of their respective amino acid or nucleotide (the “matched span”, asdetermined by the algorithm). A gap opening penalty (which is calculated as 3x the average diagonal, wherein the “average diagonal” is the average of the diagonal of the comparison matrix being used; the “diagonal” is the score or number assigned to each perfect amino acid match by the particular comparison matrix) and a gap extension penalty (which is usually 1 / 10 times the gap opening penalty), as well as a comparison matrix such as PAM 250 or BLOSUM 62 are used in conjunction with the algorithm. In some embodiments, a standard comparison matrix (see, Dayhoff et al., (1978) Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure 5:345-352 for the PAM 250 comparison matrix; Henikoff et al., (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89: 10915-10919 for the BLOSUM 62 comparison matrix) is also used by the algorithm.
[0203] Recommended parameters for determining percent identity for polypeptides or nucleotide sequences using the GAP program are the following:• Algorithm: Needleman et al., 1970, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443-453;• Comparison matrix: BLOSUM 62 from Henikoff et al., 1992, supra;• Gap Penalty: 12 (but with no penalty for end gaps)• Gap Length Penalty: 4• Threshold of Similarity: 0
[0204] Certain alignment schemes for aligning two amino acid sequences can result in matching of only a short region of the two sequences, and this small, aligned region can have very high sequence identity even though there is no significant relationship between the two full-length sequences. Accordingly, the selected alignment method (e.g., the GAP program) can be adjusted if so desired to result in an alignment that spans at least 50 contiguous amino acids of the target polypeptide.
[0205] As used herein, the terms “GIP,” “gastric inhibitory polypeptide,” “glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide,” and “GIP ligand” are used interchangeably and refer to a naturally-occurring wild-type polypeptide expressed in a mammal, such as a human or a mouse, and include naturally occurring alleles (e.g., naturally occurring allelic forms of human GIP protein). For the purposes of this disclosure, the term “GIP” can be used interchangeably to refer to any mature GIP polypeptide.
[0206] The 42 amino acid sequence of mature human GIP is: YAEGTFISDY SIAMDKIHQQ DFVNWLLAQK GKKNDWKHNI TQ (SEQ ID NO: 1582).
[0207] The 42 amino acid sequence of mature murine GIP is:YAEGTFISDY SIAMDKIRQQ DFVNWLLAQR GKKSDWKHNI TQ (SEQ ID NO: 1583).
[0208] The 42 amino acid sequence of mature rat GIP is:YAEGTFISDY SIAMDKIRQQ DFVNWLLAQK GKKNDWKHNL TQ (SEQ ID NO: 1584).
[0209] Additionally, as used herein, the terms “GIPR polypeptide” and “GIPR protein” are used interchangeably and refer to a naturally-occurring wild-type polypeptide expressed in a mammal, such as a human or a mouse, and include naturally occurring alleles (e.g., naturally occurring allelic forms of human GIPR protein). For the purposes of this disclosure, the term “GIPR polypeptide” can be used interchangeably to refer to any full-length GIPR polypeptide, e.g., SEQ ID NO: 1577, which consists of 466 amino acid residues, or SEQ ID NO: 1578, which consists of 430 amino acid residues, or SEQ ID NO: 1579, which consists of 493 amino acid resides, or SEQ ID NO: 1580, which consists of 460 amino acids residues, or SEQ ID NO: 1581, which consists of 230 amino acids residues.

[0215] As stated herein, the term “GIPR polypeptide” encompasses naturally occurring GIPR polypeptide sequences, e.g., human amino acid sequences SEQ ID NOs: 1577, 1578, or 1579. The term “GIPR polypeptide,” however, also encompasses polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence that has been modified relative to the amino acid sequence of a naturally occurring GIPR polypeptide sequence, e.g., SEQ ID NOs: 1577, 1578, or 1579, by one or more amino acids, such that the sequence is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NOs: 1577, 1578, or 1579. Such modifications include, but are not limited to, one or more amino acid substitutions, including substitutions with non-naturally occurring amino acids, non- naturally-occurring amino acid analogs, and amino acid mimetics. For example, GIPR polypeptides can be generated by introducing one or more amino acid substitutions, either conservative or non-conservative and using naturally or non-naturally occurring amino acids, at particular positions of the GIPR polypeptide.
[0216] In some embodiments, a GIPR polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90 percent identical to a naturally-occurring GIPR polypeptide (e.g., SEQ ID NOs: 1577, 1578, or 1579). In some embodiments, a GIPR polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 95, at least 96, at least 97, at least 98, or at least 99 percent identical to a naturally-occurring GIPR polypeptide amino acid sequence (e.g., SEQ ID NOs: 1577, 1578, or 1579). Such GIPR polypeptides preferably, but need not, possess at least one activity of a wild-type GIPR polypeptide, such as the ability to bind GIP. The present disclosure also encompasses nucleic acid molecules encoding such GIPR polypeptide sequences.
[0217] As used herein, the term “GIPR activity assay” (also referred to as a “GIPR functional assay”) means an assay that can be used to measure GIP or a GIP binding protein activity in a cellular setting. In some embodiments, the “activity assay” or “functional assay” can be a cAMP assay in GIPR-expressing cells, in which GIP can induce cAMP signal, and the activity of a GIP / GIPR binding protein could be measured in the presence / absence of GIP ligand, in which ICsoZECso and degree of inhibition / activation can be obtained (Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (2002) 290: 1420-1426). In other embodiments, the “activity assay” or “functional assay” can be an insulin secretion assay in pancreatic beta cells, in which GIP can induce glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and the activity of aGIP / GIPR binding protein could be measured in the presence / absence of GIP ligand, in which IC50 / EC50 and degree of inhibition / activation can be obtained (Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (2002) 290: 1420-1426).
[0218] As used herein, the term “GIPR binding assay” refers to an assay that can be used to measure binding of GIP to GIPR. In some embodiments, a “GIPR binding assay” can be an assay using Fluorometric Microvolume Assay Technology (“FMAT”) or Fluorescence- Activated Cell Sorting (“FACS”) that measures fluorescence-labeled GIP binding to GIPR expression cells, and GIP / GIPR binding protein’s activity can be measured for displacing fluorescence-labeled GIP binding to GIPR expression cells. In other embodiments, a “GIPR binding assay” can be an assay that measures radioactive-labeled GIP binding to GIPR expression cells, and GIP / GIPR binding protein’s activity can be measured for displacing radioactive labeled GIP binding to GIPR expression cells (Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (2001) 1547: 143-155).
[0219] As used herein, a “GIPR antagonist” refers to a molecule that reduces or inhibits GIP activation of GIPR. Such antagonists include chemically synthesized small molecules and antigen binding proteins. In some embodiments, a GIPR antagonist may reduce or inhibit GIP activation of GIPR by preventing binding of GIP to GIPR.
[0220] As used herein, the term “compete,” when used in the context of antigen-binding proteins (e.g., antibodies), means competition between antigen-binding proteins is determined by an assay in which the tested antigen-binding protein (e.g., antibody or immunologically functional fragment thereof) prevents or inhibits specific binding of a reference antigen-binding protein to a common antigen (e.g., GIPR or a fragment thereof). Numerous types of competitive binding assays can be used, for example: solid phase direct or indirect radioimmunoassay (RIA); solid phase direct or indirect enzyme immunoassay (EIA); sandwich competition assay (see, e.g., Stahli et al., 1983, Methods in Enzymology 9:242- 253); solid phase direct biotin-avidin EIA (see, e.g., Kirkland et al., 1986, J. Immunol. 137:3614-3619); solid phase direct labeled assay; solid phase direct labeled sandwich assay (see, e.g., Harlow and Lane, 1988, Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press); solid phase direct label RIA using 1-125 label (see, e.g., Morel et al., 1988, Molec. Immunol. 25:7-15); solid phase direct biotin-avidin EIA (see, e.g., Cheung, et al., 1990, Virology 176:546-552); and direct labeled RIA (Moldenhauer et al., 1990, Scand. J.Immunol. 32:77-82). Typically, such an assay involves the use of purified antigen bound to a solid surface or cells bearing either of these, an unlabeled test antigen binding protein, and alabeled reference antigen binding protein. Competitive inhibition is measured by determining the amount of label bound to the solid surface or cells in the presence of the test antigen binding protein. Usually, the test antigen-binding protein is present in excess. Commonly, when a competing antigen binding protein is present in excess, it will inhibit specific binding of a reference antigen binding protein to a common antigen by at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, or at least 75%. In some instances, binding is inhibited by at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 97%.
[0221] As used herein, the term “encoding” refers to a polynucleotide sequence encoding one or more amino acids. The term does not require a start or stop codon.
[0222] As used herein, the term “polynucleotide” or “nucleic acid” includes both singlestranded and double-stranded nucleotide polymers. The nucleotides comprising the polynucleotide can be ribonucleotides or deoxyribonucleotides or a modified form of either type of nucleotide. The modifications include base modifications such as bromouridine and inosine derivatives, ribose modifications such as 2’, 3 ’-dideoxyribose, and internucleotide linkage modifications such as phosphorothioate, phosphorodithioate, phosphoroselenoate, phosphorodiselenoate, phosphoroanilothioate, phoshoraniladate, and phosphoroamidate.
[0223] As used herein, the term “oligonucleotide” means a polynucleotide comprising 200 or fewer nucleotides. In some embodiments, oligonucleotides are 10 to 60 bases in length. In other embodiments, oligonucleotides are 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 to 40 nucleotides in length. Oligonucleotides may be single stranded or double stranded, e.g., for use in the construction of a mutant gene. Oligonucleotides may be sense or antisense oligonucleotides. An oligonucleotide can include a label, including a radiolabel, a fluorescent label, a hapten or an antigenic label, for detection assays. Oligonucleotides may be used, for example, as PCR primers, cloning primers, or hybridization probes.
[0224] Unless specified otherwise, the left-hand end of any single-stranded polynucleotide sequence discussed herein is the 5' end; the left-hand direction of double-stranded polynucleotide sequences is referred to as the 5' direction. The direction of 5' to 3' addition of nascent RNA transcripts is referred to as the transcription direction; sequence regions on the DNA strand having the same sequence as the RNA transcript that are 5' to the 5' end of the RNA transcript are referred to as “upstream sequences;” sequence regions on the DNA strand having the same sequence as the RNA transcript that are 3' to the 3' end of the RNA transcript are referred to as “downstream sequences.”
[0225] As used herein, the term “control sequence” refers to a polynucleotide sequence that can affect the expression and processing of coding sequences to which it is ligated. The nature of such control sequences may depend upon the host organism. In some embodiments, control sequences for prokaryotes may include a promoter, a ribosomal binding site, and a transcription termination sequence. For example, control sequences for eukaryotes may include promoters comprising one or a plurality of recognition sites for transcription factors, transcription enhancer sequences, and transcription termination sequences. “Control sequences” can include leader sequences and / or fusion partner sequences.
[0226] As used herein, the term “isolated nucleic acid molecule” refers to a single- or doublestranded polymer of deoxyribonucleotide or ribonucleotide bases read from the 5’ to the 3’ end, or an analog thereof, that has been separated from at least about 50 percent of polypeptides, peptides, lipids, carbohydrates, polynucleotides, or other materials with which the nucleic acid is naturally found when total nucleic acid is isolated from the source cells. In some embodiments, an isolated nucleic acid molecule is substantially free from any other contaminating nucleic acid molecules or other molecules that are found in the natural environment of the nucleic acid that would interfere with its use in polypeptide production or its therapeutic, diagnostic, prophylactic, or research use.
[0227] Polypeptides described herein can be engineered and / or produced using standard molecular biology methodology. For example, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a GIPR, which can comprise all or a portion of SEQ ID NOs: 1577, 1578, or 1579, can be isolated and / or amplified from genomic DNA, or cDNA using appropriate oligonucleotide primers. Primers can be designed based on the nucleic and amino acid sequences provided herein according to standard (RT)-PCR amplification techniques. The amplified GIPR nucleic acid can then be cloned into a suitable vector and characterized by DNA sequence analysis.
[0228] Oligonucleotides for use as probes in isolating or amplifying all or a portion of the amino acid sequences provided herein can be designed and generated using standard synthetic techniques, e.g., automated DNA synthesis apparatus, or can be isolated from a longer sequence of DNA.
[0229] As used herein, the term “host cell” means a cell that has been transformed with a nucleic acid sequence and thereby expresses a gene of interest. The term includes the progeny of the parent cell, whether or not the progeny is identical in morphology or in genetic makeup to the original parent cell, so long as the gene of interest is present. In some embodiments, the host cell is a mammalian, non-human host cell. Representative host cells include, but arenot limited to, those hosts typically used for cloning and expression, including Escherichia coli strains TOP10F', TOPIO, DH10B, DH5a, HB101, W3110, BL21(DE3) and BL21 (DE3)pLysS, BLUESCRIPT (Stratagene), mammalian cell lines CHO, CHO-K1, HEK293, 293-EBNA pIN vectors (Van Heeke & Schuster, J. Biol. Chem. 264: 5503-5509 (1989); pET vectors (Novagen, Madison Wis.).
[0230] In some embodiments, host cells comprising vectors disclosed herein are provided. In some embodiments, a vector or nucleic acid is integrated into the host cell genome; in other embodiments, the vector is extra-chromosomal.
[0231] As used herein, the term “vector” means any molecule or entity (e.g., nucleic acid, plasmid, bacteriophage, or virus) used to transfer protein coding information into a host cell. A “vector” refers to a delivery vehicle that (a) promotes the expression of a polypeptide- encoding nucleic acid sequence; (b) promotes the production of the polypeptide therefrom; (c) promotes the transfection / transformation of target cells therewith; (d) promotes the replication of the nucleic acid sequence; (e) promotes stability of the nucleic acid; (f) promotes detection of the nucleic acid and / or transformed / transfected cells; and / or (g) otherwise imparts advantageous biological and / or physiochemical function to the polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid. A vector can be any suitable molecule or entity, including chromosomal, non-chromosomal, and synthetic nucleic acid vectors (a nucleic acid sequence comprising a suitable set of expression control elements). Non-limiting examples of vectors include derivatives of SV40, bacterial plasmids, phage DNA, baculovirus, yeast plasmids, vectors derived from combinations of plasmids and phage DNA, and viral nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) vectors.
[0232] As used herein, the term “expression vector” or “expression construct” refers to a vector that is suitable for transformation of a host cell and contains nucleic acid sequences that direct and / or control (in conjunction with the host cell) expression of one or more heterologous coding regions operatively linked thereto. An expression construct may include, but is not limited to, sequences that affect or control transcription, translation, and, if introns are present, affect RNA splicing of a coding region operably linked thereto.
[0233] In order to express a polypeptide provided herein, the appropriate coding sequence(s) can be cloned into a suitable vector and after introduction in a suitable host, the sequence can be expressed to produce the encoded polypeptide according to standard cloning and expression techniques, which are known in the art (e.g., as described in Sambrook, J., Fritsh, E. F., and Maniatis, T. Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual 2nd, ed., Cold SpringHarbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., 1989). In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides such vectors comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an amino acid sequence described herein.
[0234] A recombinant expression vector can be designed for expression of a protein in prokaryotic (e.g., E. coli) or eukaryotic cells (e.g., insect cells, using baculovirus expression vectors, yeast cells, or mammalian cells). Alternatively, a recombinant expression vector can be transcribed and translated in vitro, for example, using T7 promoter regulatory sequences and T7 polymerase and an in vitro translation system. In some embodiments, the vector contains a promoter upstream of the cloning site containing the nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide. Examples of promoters, which can be switched on and off, include, but are not limited to, the lac promoter, the T7 promoter, the trc promoter, the tac promoter, and the trp promoter.
[0235] A vector can comprise or be associated with any suitable promoter, enhancer, and other expression-facilitating elements. Examples of such elements include strong expression promoters (e.g., a human CMV IE promoter / enhancer, an RSV promoter, SV40 promoter, SL3-3 promoter, MMTV promoter, or HIV LTR promoter, EFl alpha promoter, CAG promoter), effective poly (A) termination sequences, an origin of replication for plasmid product in E. coli, an antibiotic resistance gene as a selectable marker, and / or a convenient cloning site (e.g., a polylinker). Vectors also can comprise an inducible promoter as opposed to a constitutive promoter such as CMV IE. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid comprising an amino acid sequence described herein which is operably linked to a tissue-specific promoter which promotes expression of the sequence in a metabolically-relevant tissue, such as liver or pancreatic tissue, is provided.
[0236] In some embodiments, a nucleic acid can be positioned in and / or delivered to a host cell or host animal via a viral vector. Any suitable viral vector can be used in this capacity. A viral vector can comprise any number of viral polynucleotides, alone or in combination with one or more viral proteins, which facilitate delivery, replication, and / or expression of the nucleic acid of the present disclosure in a desired host cell. The viral vector can be a polynucleotide comprising all or part of a viral genome, a viral protein / nucleic acid conjugate, a virus-like particle (VLP), or an intact virus particle comprising viral nucleic acids and a GIPR polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid. A viral particle viral vector can comprise a wild-type viral particle or a modified viral particle. The viral vector can be a vector which requires the presence of another vector or wild-type virus for replication and / orexpression (e.g., a viral vector can be a helper-dependent virus), such as an adenoviral vector amplicon. Typically, such viral vectors consist of a wild-type viral particle, or a viral particle modified in its protein and / or nucleic acid content to increase transgene capacity or aid in transfection and / or expression of the nucleic acid (examples of such vectors include the herpes virus / AAV amplicons). Typically, a viral vector is similar to and / or derived from a virus that normally infects humans. Suitable viral vector particles in this respect, include, but are not limited to, adenoviral vector particles (including any virus of or derived from a virus of the adenoviridae), adeno-associated viral vector particles (AAV vector particles) or other parvoviruses and parvoviral vector particles, papillomaviral vector particles, flaviviral vectors, alphaviral vectors, herpes viral vectors, pox virus vectors, retroviral vectors, including lentiviral vectors.
[0237] As used herein, “operably linked” means that the components to which the term is applied are in a relationship that allows them to carry out their inherent functions under suitable conditions. For example, a control sequence in a vector that is "operably linked" to a protein coding sequence is ligated thereto so that expression of the protein coding sequence is achieved under conditions compatible with the transcriptional activity of the control sequences.
[0238] As used herein, the terms “glucagon agonist” and “glucagon receptor (GCGR) agonist” are used interchangeably and refer to a molecule that mimics a biological activity of a glucagon molecule with respect to a glucagon receptor.
[0239] As used herein, the term “glucagon analog” refers to a molecule which elicits a biological activity similar to that of glucagon, when evaluated by art-known measures such as receptor binding assays or in vivo blood glucose assays as described, e.g., by Hargrove et al., Regulatory Peptides, 141 : 113-119 (2007), the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
