[0005] The examples provided herein relate to polypeptides comprising a polypeptide having protease activity and an Fc portion, and compositions comprising the polypeptides. Background Art

[0006] The immunoglobulin G degrading enzyme (IdeS) of Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes) is an extracellular cysteine ​​protease produced by the human pathogen S. pyogenes. IdeS has extremely high substrate specificity, with its only identified substrate being immunoglobulin G (IgG). IdeS catalyzes a single proteolytic cleavage in the lower hinge region of the heavy chain of all subclasses of human IgG. IdeS also catalyzes equivalent cleavages of the heavy chains of some subclasses of IgG in various animals. IdeS efficiently cleaves IgG into Fc and F(ab')2 fragments. IdeS is a virulence factor of S. pyogenes, responsible for common infections such as tonsillitis and strep throat. To date, no IdeS-Fc molecule has been shown to be resistant to self-cleavage. Pathogenic IgG antibodies are a major clinical problem that contributes to the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases and acute transplant rejection. Therefore, being able to effectively reduce or eliminate these antibodies is a significant clinical challenge. The embodiments provided herein address this need and others. Summary of the Invention

Thus, "treatment of an autoimmune disorder" or "treating an autoimmune disease" refers to the act of alleviating or ameliorating any primary or secondary symptoms associated with an autoimmune disorder or other disorders described herein when the terms "treat," "treated," or treating are used in connection with such a disorder.

[0042] As used herein, the terms "variant," "molecule," "therapeutic agent," "therapeutic compound," "compound," "polypeptide," or "protein" are used interchangeably and refer to the variants, molecules, therapeutic agents, therapeutic compounds, compounds, polypeptides, and proteins disclosed herein.

[0043] Variant Fc molecules

[0044] As used herein, "isotype" refers to the immunoglobulin class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM, IgA1, IgA2, IgD, and IgE antibodies) encoded by the heavy chain constant domain gene. The full-length amino acid sequence of each wild-type human IgG constant region (including all domains, i.e., CH1 domain, hinge, CH2 domain, and CH3 domain) is cataloged in the UniProt database available online as, e.g., P01857 (IgG1), P01859 (IgG2), P01860 (IgG3), and P01861 (IgG4), or different allotypes thereof (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively). As used herein, a domain (e.g., a hinge) of a heavy chain constant region is of "IgG1 isotype," "IgG2 isotype," "IgG3 isotype," or "IgG4 isotype" if the domain comprises the amino acid sequence of the corresponding domain of the corresponding isotype, or a variant thereof that is more homologous to the corresponding domain of the corresponding isotype than to corresponding domains of other isotypes.

[0045] "Isotype" refers to naturally occurring variants within a particular isotype group that differ in a few amino acids (see, e.g., Jefferies et al. (2009) mAbs 1:1). The molecules described herein can be any allotype.

[0046] A "wild-type" protein or portion thereof refers to the form of the protein found in nature. The amino acid sequence of a wild-type protein (e.g., a heavy chain constant region) is the amino acid sequence of the protein found in nature. Due to allotypic differences, there may be more than one amino acid sequence for a wild-type protein. For example, there are several naturally occurring allotypes of the human IGg1 heavy chain constant region (e.g., Jeffries et al. (2009) mAbs 1:1).

[0047] Immunoglobulins can be from any commonly known isotype, including but not limited to IgA, secretory IgA, IgG, and IgM. IgG isotypes are divided into multiple subclasses in certain species: humans are divided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, while mice are divided into IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3. In certain embodiments, the antibodies described herein are of human IgG1 or IgG2 subtypes. Immunoglobulins (e.g., human IgG1) exist in several allotypes, with only a few amino acid differences between them.

[0048] In some embodiments, the IgG protein (with the hinge region underlined) is as provided in Table 1.

[0049]

[0050]

[0051] "Fc region" (fragment crystallizable region) or "Fc polypeptide" or "Fc" refers to the C-terminal region of the heavy chain of an antibody that mediates the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including binding to Fc receptors located on various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) or binding to the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. Thus, the Fc region of an antibody of the IgG isotype comprises the heavy chain constant region of the antibody in addition to the first constant region immunoglobulin domain (CH1). In the IgG, IgA, and IgD antibody isotypes, the Fc region comprises the CH2 and CH3 constant domains in each of the two heavy chains of the antibody; the IgM and IgE Fc regions comprise three heavy chain constant domains (CH domains 2 to 4) in each polypeptide chain. For IgG, the Fc region comprises the immunoglobulin domains consisting of the hinge, CH2, and CH3. For purposes herein, the Fc region is defined as starting at amino acid 216 and ending at amino acid 447, wherein numbering is according to the EU index as in Kabat, Kabat et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, and according to U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2008 / 0248028. Figure 3 c to 3f. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises a hinge region. Fc can be a native (or naturally occurring or wild-type) Fc, including any isotype variant or variant Fc (e.g., non-naturally occurring Fc), comprising, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 to 5, 1 to 10 or 5 to 10 or more amino acid mutations, e.g., substitutions, additions or deletions. For example, the variant Fc may comprise an amino acid sequence that is at least 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the wild-type Fc. The modified or mutated Fc may have enhanced or reduced effector function and / or half-life. Fc may refer to this region alone or in the context of an Fc protein polypeptide, such as a "binding protein comprising an Fc region," which is also referred to as an "Fc fusion protein" (e.g., an antibody or immunoadhesin). In some embodiments, the modified or mutated Fc molecule has enhanced binding to FcyRIIb.

[0052] "Hinge", "hinge domain" or "hinge region" or "antibody hinge region" refers to the domain of the heavy chain constant region that connects the CH1 domain to the CH2 domain and includes the upper, middle and lower parts of the hinge (Roux et al. J. Immunol. 1998 161: 4083). The hinge provides varying degrees of flexibility between the binding region and the effector region of the antibody and also provides a site for intermolecular disulfide bonding between the two heavy chain constant regions. The term "hinge" includes wild-type hinges (such as those listed in Table 3) and variants thereof (e.g., non-naturally occurring hinges or modified hinges). For example, the term "IgG1 hinge" includes wild-type IgG1 hinges as shown below, and variants having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 to 3, 1 to 5, 3 to 5 and / or a maximum of 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 mutations (e.g., substitutions, deletions or additions). In some embodiments, the hinge region is as provided in Table 2.

[0053]

[0054] The term "CH1 domain" refers to the heavy chain constant region that connects the variable domain to the hinge in the heavy chain constant domain. As used herein, the term "CH1 domain" includes wild-type CH1 domains and variants thereof (e.g., non-naturally occurring CH1 domains or modified CH1 domains). For example, the term "CH1 domain" includes wild-type CH1 domains and variants thereof having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 to 3, 1 to 5, 3 to 5 and / or a maximum of 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 mutations (e.g., substitutions, deletions or additions).

[0055] The term "CH2 domain" refers to the heavy chain constant region that connects the hinge to the CH3 domain in the heavy chain constant domain. As used herein, the term "CH2 domain" includes wild-type CH2 domains and variants thereof (e.g., non-naturally occurring CH2 domains or modified CH2 domains). For example, the term "CH2 domain" includes wild-type CH2 domains and variants thereof having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 to 3, 1 to 5, 3 to 5, and / or up to 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 mutation (e.g., substitution, deletion, or addition).

[0056] The term "CH3 domain" refers to the heavy chain constant region located at the C-terminus of the CH2 domain in the heavy chain constant domain. As used herein, the term "CH3 domain" includes wild-type CH3 domains and variants thereof (e.g., non-naturally occurring CH3 domains or modified CH3 domains). For example, the term "CH3 domain" includes wild-type CH3 domains and variants thereof having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 to 3, 1 to 5, 3 to 5, and / or up to 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 mutation (e.g., substitution, deletion, or addition).

[0057] Provided herein are variant Fc polypeptides comprising variant Fc polypeptides, e.g., Fc polypeptides having mutated sequence regions relative to a wild-type Fc polypeptide. Exemplary variant Fc molecules comprising variant Fc polypeptides comprise an IgG1 hinge, a CH1 domain, a CH2 domain, and a CH3 domain, wherein at least one of these constant domains comprises a residue that is not a wild-type residue relative to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, or 4. The variant Fc polypeptides can have effector functions similar to those of wild-type IgG, or can be engineered to have enhanced effector functions relative to wild-type IgG. The variant Fc polypeptide may comprise a wild-type CHI, hinge, CH2 and / or CH3 domain or a variant thereof, e.g., a CHI, hinge, CH2 and / or CH3 domain having one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions or additions relative to the corresponding wild-type domain and / or having an amino acid sequence that is at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98% or at least 99% or more identical to the corresponding wild-type sequence.

[0085] The present disclosure provides polypeptides, molecules, compounds, therapeutic agents and compositions comprising a polypeptide having protease activity that can be covalently or non-covalently linked to an Fc polypeptide domain (such as an Fc polypeptide domain provided herein). In some embodiments, the polypeptide having protease activity is IdeS, IdeSsuis, IdeZ, IdeE, IdeE2, IdeZ2 or IdeC.

[0086] Streptococcus pyogenes is an important bacterial pathogen that secretes two enzymes with remarkable specificity for IgG: EndoS and IdeS. EndoS, an endoglycosidase in S. pyogenes, specifically hydrolyzes functionally important N-linked glycans of IgG, and treatment with EndoS abolishes the pathogenic activity of IgG in mouse models of autoimmune disease. (Collin M, Olsén A. EndoS, a novel secreted protein from Streptococcus pyogenes with endoglycosidase activity on human IgG. Embo J. 2001; 20: 3046–3055; Nandakumar KS, Collin M, Olsén A, Nimmerjahn F, Blom AM, et al. Endoglycosidase treatment abrogates IgG arthritogenicity: importance of IgG glycosylation in arthritis. Eur J Immunol. 2007; 37: 2973–2982) IdeS (immunoglobulin G-degrading enzyme from Streptococcus pyogenes) is a cysteine ​​protease that cleaves IgG at the hinge region with unique specificity. (Wenig K, Chatwell L, von Pawel-Rammingen U, L, Huber R et al. (Structure of the streptococcal endopeptidase IdeS, an acysteine ​​proteinase with strict specificity for IgG. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2004;101:17371–17376). IdeS has a strong specificity for IgG, hydrolyzing both heavy chains in the hinge region after glycine residue 236 to generate an F(ab′)2 and two monomeric Fc fragments. IdeE is a homolog of the secreted IgG-specific protease IdeS / Mac from Streptococcus pyogenes. The activity of IdeE is comparable to that of IdeZ, the corresponding enzyme from the closely related Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus.

[0087] The complete sequence of IdeS is publicly available as NCBI reference sequence number WP_010922160.1 and is provided herein as SEQ ID NO: 35:
