The present invention relates to an antibody-like protein based on the tenth fibronectin type III domain (¹⁰Fn3) that binds to serum albumin. The invention further relates to fusion molecules comprising a serum albumin-binding ¹⁰Fn3 joined to a heterologous protein for use in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

PSMA binding FN3 domains, their conjugates, isolated nucleotides encoding the molecules, vectors, host cells, and methods of making thereof are useful in the generation of therapeutic molecules and treatment and diagnosis of diseases and disorders.

The invention belongs to the field of biotechnologies, and relates to a method for applying recombinant expression separated and purified human-derived protein Fn3 (fibronectin type III domain) mutants as N-glycosylation efficiency detection model proteins. The method includes steps of constructing Fn3-Gly-loop recombinant protein gene expression vectors of the Fn3 mutants; jointly transforming the constructed expression vectors into Escherichia coli engineering strains CLM37 by means of electric shock processes; screening the expression vectors by the aid of antibiotics to obtain positive clones. Recombinant proteins contain Fn3-Gly-loop proteins which are about to be modified by recombinant glycosyl, and the Fn3-Gly-loop fusion protein glycosylation efficiency can be detected by the aid of Western Blot processes. The method has the advantages that the skeleton proteins Fn3 in Escherichia coli are used as receptor proteins, accordingly, the model receptor proteins suitable for N-glycosylation modification efficiency research can be constructed, and the recombinant protein glycosylation efficiency can be easily, quickly and efficiently detected in the Escherichia coli.

The present invention discloses a method for preparing an antigen substitute by using human fibronectin type III domain (Fn3) to display two antigenic epitopes. According to the method, through gene recombination, base sequences for encoding two antigenic epitopes are respectively recombined at the FG loop region and the 3' terminal of the sequence encoding Fn3 gene to from an Fn3 and double antigenic epitope fusion gene; and the fusion protein displaying the double antigenic epitope is efficiently and rapidly expressed and prepared with an Escherichia coli expression system. According to thepresent invention, the antigen substitute displaying the double antigenic epitopes can be simply, rapidly and efficiently prepared so as to establish the technical platform for the production of the corresponding immunological assay.
