Method for making heteromultimeric polypeptides

The invention relates to a method of preparing heteromultimeric polypeptides such as bispecific antibodies, bispecific immunoadhesins and antibody-immunoadhesin chimeras. The invention also relates to the heteromultimers prepared using the method. Generally, the method involves introducing a protuberance at the interface of a first polypeptide and a corresponding cavity in the interface of a second polypeptide, such that the protuberance can be positioned in the cavity so as to promote heteromultimer formation and hinder homomultimer formation. “Protuberances” are constructed by replacing small amino acid side chains from the interface of the first polypeptide with larger side chains (e.g. tyrosine or tryptophan). Compensatory “cavities” of identical or similar size to the protuberances are created in the interface of the second polypeptide by replacing large amino acid side chains with smaller ones (e.g. alanine or threonine). The protuberance and cavity can be made by synthetic means such as altering the nucleic acid encoding the polypeptides or by peptide synthesis.

Cyclic peptide tube

Cyclic homodetic peptides having a repeating D-L-chirality motif are shown to have a stable disk conformation with the amino acid side chains extending radially outward and the carbonyl and amino groups extending axially upward or downward. Such cyclic peptides can be employed as subunits in the assembly of molecular tubes. Cyclic peptides having a repeating D-L-chirality motif and lacking mutually repulsive side-chains are shown to stack atop one another in an anti-parallel fashion and are shown to be held together by the formation of β-sheet hydrogen bonding. The stacked cyclic peptides form a molecular tube having a central channel. The diameter of the channel is determined by the size cyclic peptide. If the cyclic peptide includes ionizable amino acid residues, e.g. glutamic acid or lysine, assembly and disassembly of the molecular tubes can be controlled by varying the pH. If the cyclic peptide includes hydrophobic amino acid residues, the molecular tube will insert into a lipid membrane. In such instances, the molecular tube provides a transmembrane channel. The channel can be gated or ungated. Molecular tubes can be terminated with a terminal cyclic peptide having methylated amino groups in one orientation. Molecular tubes may be employed as drug carriers, molecular sieves, reaction vessels, membrane channels, and other uses.
