Abstract

Methods for producing heterologous multi-subunit proteins in transformed cells are disclosed. In particular, the present disclosure provides improved methods of producing multi-subunit proteins, including antibodies and other multi-subunit proteins, which may or may not be secreted, with a higher yield and decreased production of undesired side-products. In exemplary embodiments, the transformed cells are a yeast, e.g., methylotrophic yeast such as Pichia pastoris.

Description

The present invention contemplates the use of haploid yeast, as well as diploid or other polyploid yeast cells produced, for example, by mating or fusion (e.g., spheroplast fusion).
[00186] In one embodiment of the invention, the mating competent yeast is a member of the Saccharomycetaceae family, which includes the genera Arxiozyma', Ascobotryozyma; Citeromyces; Debaryomyces; Dekkera; Eremothecium; Issatchenkia; Kazachstania; Kluyveromyces; Kodamaea; Lodderomyces; Pachysolen; Pichia', Saccharomyces', Saturnispora', Tetrapisispora', Torulaspora', Williopsis', and Zy go saccharomyces. Other types of yeast potentially useful in the invention include Yarrowia; Rhodosporidiunv, Candida', Hansenula', Filobasiunv, Sporidiobolus', Bullera', Leucosporidium and Filobasidella.
[00187] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mating competent yeast is a member of the genus Pichia or is another methylotroph. In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the mating competent yeast of the genus Pichia is one of the following species: Pichia pastoris, Pichia methanolica, and Hansenula polymorpha (Pichia angusta). In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the mating competent yeast of the genus Pichia is the species Pichia pastoris.
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00188] Haploid Yeast Cell·. A cell having a single copy of each gene of its normal genomic (chromosomal) complement.
[00189] Polyploid Yeast Cell· A cell having more than one copy of its normal genomic (chromosomal) complement.
[00190] Diploid Yeast Cell· A cell having two copies (alleles) of essentially every gene of its normal genomic complement, typically formed by the process of fusion (mating) of two haploid cells.
[00191] Tetraploid Yeast Cell· A cell having four copies (alleles) of essentially every gene of its normal genomic complement, typically formed by the process of fusion (mating) of two diploid cells. Tetraploids may carry two, three, four, or more different expression cassettes. Such tetraploids might be obtained in S. cerevisiae by selective mating homozygotic heterothallic a/a and alpha/alpha diploids and in Pichia by sequential mating of haploids to obtain auxotrophic diploids. For example, a [met his] haploid can be mated with [ade his] haploid to obtain diploid [his]; and a [met arg] haploid can be mated with [ade arg] haploid to obtain diploid [arg]; then the diploid [his] can be mated with the diploid [arg] to obtain a tetraploid prototroph. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that reference to the benefits and uses of diploid cells may also apply to tetraploid cells.
[00192] Yeast Mating·. The process by which two yeast cells fuse to form a single yeast cell. The fused cells may be haploid cells or cells of higher ploidy (e.g., mating two diploid cells to produce a tetraploid cell).
[00193] Meiosis'. The process by which a diploid yeast cell undergoes reductive division to form four haploid spore products. Each spore may then germinate and form a haploid vegetatively growing cell line.
[00194] Selectable Marker. A selectable marker is a gene or gene fragment that confers a growth phenotype (physical growth characteristic) on a cell receiving that gene as, for example through a transformation event. The selectable marker allows that cell to survive and grow in a selective growth medium under conditions in which cells that do not receive that selectable marker gene cannot grow. Selectable marker genes generally fall into several types, including
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 positive selectable marker genes such as a gene that confers on a cell resistance to an antibiotic or other drug, temperature when two temperature sensitive (“ts”) mutants are crossed or a ts mutant is transformed; negative selectable marker genes such as a biosynthetic gene that confers on a cell the ability to grow in a medium without a specific nutrient needed by all cells that do not have that biosynthetic gene, or a mutagenized biosynthetic gene that confers on a cell inability to grow by cells that do not have the wild type gene; and the like. Suitable markers include but are not limited to: ZEO; NEO (G418); LYS3; MET1; MET3a; ADE1; ADE3; URA3; and the like.
[00195] Integrated'. A genetic element (typically a heterologous genetic element) that are covalently joined into a chromosome of an organism.
[00196] Tandemly integrated'. Two or more copies of a genetic element that are integrated in adjacent locations in a chromosome. The two or more copies do not necessarily have the orientation; e.g., for transcribed genes, some copies may be transcribed from the Watson strand and others from the Crick strand.
[00197] Host cell: In the context of the present disclosure, the term host cell refers to a cell (e.g., a eukaryotic cell, such as a Pichia cell) which contains a heterologous gene. For example, the heterologous gene may provide for the expression of a subunit of a desired multisubunit complex, a gene involved in protein folding (e.g., a chaperone), expression, or secretion, and/or another desired gene. The heterologous gene may be integrated into the genome of the eukaryotic cell or contained in extrachromosomal element such as a plasmid or artificial chromosome.
[00198] Expression Vector. These DNA vectors contain elements that facilitate manipulation for the expression of a foreign protein within the target host cell. Conveniently, manipulation of sequences and production of DNA for transformation is first performed in a bacterial host, e.g. E. coli, and usually vectors will include sequences to facilitate such manipulations, including a bacterial origin of replication and appropriate bacterial selection marker. Selection markers encode proteins necessary for the survival or growth of transformed host cells grown in a selective culture medium. Host cells not transformed with the vector containing the selection gene will not survive in the culture medium. Typical selection genes
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 encode proteins that (a) confer resistance to antibiotics or other toxins, (b) complement auxotrophic deficiencies, or (c) supply critical nutrients not available from complex media. Exemplary vectors and methods for transformation of yeast are described, for example, in Burke, D., Dawson, D., & Steams, T. (2000). Methods in yeast genetics: a Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory course manual. Plainview, N.Y.: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
[00199] Expression vectors for use in the methods of the invention may further include yeast specific sequences, including a selectable auxotrophic or drug marker for identifying transformed yeast strains. A drug marker may further be used to select for amplification of copy number of the vector in a yeast host cell.
[00200] The polypeptide coding sequence of interest is typically operably linked to transcriptional and translational regulatory sequences that provide for expression of the polypeptide in yeast cells. These vector components may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: an enhancer element, a promoter, and a transcription termination sequence. Sequences for the secretion of the polypeptide may also be included, e.g. a signal sequence, and the like. A yeast origin of replication is optional, as expression vectors are often integrated into the yeast genome.
[00201] Though optional, in one embodiment of the invention, one or more subunit of the multi-subunit complex is operably linked, or fused, to a secretion sequence that provides for secretion of the expressed polypeptide into the culture media, which can facilitate harvesting and purification of the heterologous multi-subunit complex. Even more preferably, the secretion sequences provide for optimized secretion of the polypeptide from the host cells (e.g., yeast diploid cells), such as through selecting preferred codons and/or altering the percentage AT through codon selection. It is known in the art that secretion efficiency and / or stability can be affected by the choice of secretion sequence and the optimal secretion sequence can vary between different proteins (see, e.g., Koganesawa et al., Protein Eng. 2001 Sep;14(9):705-10, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Many potentially suitable secretion signals are known in the art and can readily be tested for their effect upon yield and/or purity of a particular heterologous multi-subunit complex. Any secretion sequences may potentially be
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 used, including those present in secreted proteins of yeasts and other species, as well as engineered secretion sequences. Exemplary secretion sequences that may be utilized include: chicken lysozyme (CLY) signal peptide (MRSLLILVLCFLPLAALG (SEQ ID NO:414)), CLYL8 (MRLLLLLLLLPLAALG (SEQ ID NO:415)), S. cerevisiae invertase (SUC2) signal peptide (MLLQAFLFLLAGFAAKISA (SEQ ID NO:416)), MF-alpha (Prepro) (MRFPSIFTAVLFAASSALA-APVNTTTE-EGVSLEKR (SEQ ID NO:417)), MF-alpha (Pre)apv (MRFPSIFTAVLFAASSALA-APV (SEQ ID NO:418)), MF-alpha (Pre)-apv-SLEKR (MRFPSIFTAVLFAASSALA-APVSLEKR (SEQ ID NO:419)), MF-alpha (Prepro)-(EA)3 (MRFPSIFTAVLFAASSALA-APVNTTTE-EGVSLEKR-EAEAEA (SEQ ID NO:420)), aF signal peptide (MRFPSIFTAVLFAASSALA-APVNTTTEDETAQIPAEAVIGYSDLEGDFDVAVLPFSNSTNNGLLFINTTIASIAAKE-EGVSLEKR (SEQ ID NO:421)), KILM1 signal peptide (MTKPTQVLVRSVSILFFITLLHLVVALNDVAGPAETAPVSLLPR (SEQ ID NO :422)), repressible acid phosphatase (PHO1) signal peptide (MFSPILSLEIILALATLQSVFA (SEQ ID NO:423)), A. niger GOX signal peptide (MQTLLVSSLVVSLAAALPHYIR (SEQ ID NO:424)), Schwanniomyces occidentalis glucoamylase gene (GAM1) signal peptide (MIFLKLIKSIVIGLGLVSAIQA (SEQ ID NO:425)), human serum albumin (HSA) signal peptide with pro-sequence (MKWVTFISLLFLFSSAYSRGVFRR (SEQ ID NO:426)), human serum albumin (HSA) signal peptide without pro-sequence (MKWVTFISLLFLFSSAYS (SEQ ID NO:427)), ISN signal peptide (MALWMRLLPLLALLALWGPDPAAA (SEQ ID NO:428)), IFN signal peptide (MKYTSYILAFQLCIVLGSLGCDLP (SEQ ID NO:429)), HGH signal peptide (MAADSQTPWLLTFSLLCLLWPQEPGA (SEQ ID NO:430)), phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) (MKKNRMMMMIWSVGVVWMLLLVGGSYG (SEQ ID NO:431)), Silkworm lysozyme (MQKLIIFALVVLCVGSEA (SEQ ID NO:432)), Human lysozyme (LYZ1) (MKALIVLGLVLLSVTVQG (SEQ ID NO:433)), activin receptor type-1 (MVDGVMILPVLIMIALPSPS (SEQ ID NO:434)), activin type II receptor (MGAAAKLAFAVFLISCSSG (SEQ ID NO:435)), P. pastoris immunoglobulin binding protein (PpBiP) (MLSLKPSWLTLAALMYAMLLVVVPFAKPVRA (SEQ ID NO:436)), and human antibody 3D6 light chain leader (MDMRVPAQLLGLLLLWLPGAKC (SEQ ID NO:437)). See Hashimoto et al., Protein Engineering vol. 11 no. 2 pp.75-77, 1998; Oka et al., Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 1999 Nov; 63(11): 1977-83; Gellissen et al., FEMS Yeast Research 5 (2005) 107940

1096; Ma et al., Hepatology. 2005 Dec;42(6): 1355-63; Raemaekers et al., Eur J Biochem. 1999 Oct l;265(l):394-403; Koganesawa et al., Protein Eng. (2001) 14 (9): 705-710; Daly et al., Protein Expr Purif. 2006 Apr;46(2):456-67 ; Damasceno et al., Appl Microbiol Biotechnol (2007) 74:381-389; and Felgenhauer et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 1990 Aug 25;18(16):4927, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). The multi-subunit complex may also be secreted into the culture media without being operably linked or fused to a secretion signal. For example, it has been demonstrated that some heterologous polypeptides are secreted into the culture media when expressed in P. pastoris even without being linked or fused to a secretion signal. Additionally, the multi-subunit complex may be purified from host cells (which, for example, may be preferable if the complex is poorly secreted) using methods known in the art.
[00202] Media or cells comprising a desired multi-subunit complex may be recovered from the culture. Optionally, the secreted proteins may be purified. For example, cells comprising a desired multi-subunit complex may be lysed using mechanical, chemical, enzymatic, and/or osmotic methods (e.g., freezing with liquid nitrogen, using a homogenizer, spheroplasting, sonication, agitation in the presence of glass beads, using detergents, etc.). The desired multi-subunit complex may be concentrated, filtered, dialyzed, etc., using methods known in the art. The desired multi-subunit complex may be purified based on, for example, its molecular mass (e.g., size exclusion chromatography), isoelectric point (e.g., isoelectric focusing), electrophoretic mobility (e.g., gel electrophoresis), hydrophobic interaction chromatography (e.g., HPLC), charge (e.g., ion exchange chromatography), affinity (e.g., in the case of an antibody, binding to protein A, protein G, and/or an epitope to which the desired antibody binds), and/or glycosylation state (e.g., detected by lectin binding affinity). Multiple purification steps may be performed to obtain the desired level of purity. In an exemplary embodiment, the desired multi-subunit complex may be comprise an immunoglobulin constant domain and may be purified using protein A or protein G affinity, size exclusion chromatography, and lack of binding to lectin (to remove glycosylated forms). Optionally the A protease inhibitor, such as phenyl methyl sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) may be added to inhibit proteolytic degradation during purification.
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00203] Nucleic acids are operably linked when placed into a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, DNA for a signal sequence is operably linked to DNA for a polypeptide if it is expressed as a preprotein that participates in the secretion of the polypeptide; a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the sequence. Generally, operably linked means that the DNA sequences being linked are contiguous, and, in the case of a secretory leader, contiguous and in reading frame. However, enhancers do not have to be contiguous. Linking may be accomplished by ligation at convenient restriction sites or alternatively via a PCR/recombination method familiar to those skilled in the art (Gateway® Technology; Invitrogen, Carlsbad Calif.). If such sites do not exist, the synthetic oligonucleotide adapters or linkers may be used in accordance with conventional practice. Desired nucleic acids (including nucleic acids comprising operably linked sequences) may also be produced by chemical synthesis.
[00204] Promoters are untranslated sequences located upstream (5') to the start codon of a structural gene (generally within about 100 to 1000 bp) that control the transcription and translation of particular nucleic acid sequences to which they are operably linked. Such promoters fall into several classes: inducible, constitutive, and repressible promoters (that increase levels of transcription in response to absence of a repressor). Inducible promoters may initiate increased levels of transcription from DNA under their control in response to some change in culture conditions, e.g., the presence or absence of a nutrient or a change in temperature.
[00205] The yeast promoter fragment may also serve as the site for homologous recombination and integration of the expression vector into the same site in the yeast genome; alternatively a selectable marker is used as the site for homologous recombination. Pichia transformation is described in Cregg et al. (1985) Mol. Cell. Biol. 5:3376-3385, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
[00206] Examples of suitable promoters from Pichia include the CUP1 (induced by the level of copper in the medium), tetracycline inducible promoters, thiamine inducible promoters, AOX1 promoter (Cregg et al. (1989) Mol. Cell. Biol. 9:1316-1323); ICL1 promoter (Menendez et al. (2003) Yeast 20(13): 1097-108); glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 (GAP) (Waterham et al. (1997) Gene 186(l):37-44); and FLD1 promoter (Shen et al. (1998)
Gene 216(1):93-102). The GAP promoter is a strong constitutive promoter and the CUP1, AOX and FLD1 promoters are inducible. Each foregoing reference is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
[00207] Other yeast promoters include ADH1, alcohol dehydrogenase II, GAL4, PHO3, PHO5, Pyk, and chimeric promoters derived therefrom. Additionally, non-yeast promoters may be used in the invention such as mammalian, insect, plant, reptile, amphibian, viral, and avian promoters. Most typically the promoter will comprise a mammalian promoter (potentially endogenous to the expressed genes) or will comprise a yeast or viral promoter that provides for efficient transcription in yeast systems.
[00208] The polypeptides of interest may be produced recombinantly not only directly, but also as a fusion polypeptide with a heterologous polypeptide, e.g. a signal sequence or other polypeptide having a specific cleavage site at the N-terminus of the mature protein or polypeptide. In general, the signal sequence may be a component of the vector, or it may be a part of the polypeptide coding sequence that is inserted into the vector. The heterologous signal sequence selected preferably is one that is recognized and processed through one of the standard pathways available within the host cell. The S. cerevisiae alpha factor pre-pro signal has proven effective in the secretion of a variety of recombinant proteins from P. pastoris. Other yeast signal sequences include the alpha mating factor signal sequence, the invertase signal sequence, and signal sequences derived from other secreted yeast polypeptides. Additionally, these signal peptide sequences may be engineered to provide for enhanced secretion in diploid yeast expression systems. Other secretion signals of interest also include mammalian signal sequences, which may be heterologous to the protein being secreted, or may be a native sequence for the protein being secreted. Signal sequences include pre-peptide sequences, and in some instances may include propeptide sequences. Many such signal sequences are known in the art, including the signal sequences found on immunoglobulin chains, e.g., K28 preprotoxin sequence, PHA-E, FACE, human MCP-1, human serum albumin signal sequences, human Ig heavy chain, human Ig light chain, and the like. For example, see Hashimoto et. al. Protein Eng 11(2) 75 (1998); and Kobayashi et. al. Therapeutic Apheresis 2(4) 257 (1998), each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00209] Transcription may be increased by inserting a transcriptional activator sequence into the vector. These activators are cis-acting elements of DNA, usually about from 10 to 300 bp, which act on a promoter to increase its transcription. Transcriptional enhancers are relatively orientation and position independent, having been found 5' and 3' to the transcription unit, within an intron, as well as within the coding sequence itself. The enhancer may be spliced into the expression vector at a position 5' or 3' to the coding sequence, but is preferably located at a site 5' from the promoter.
[00210] Expression vectors used in eukaryotic host cells may also contain sequences necessary for the termination of transcription and for stabilizing the mRNA. Such sequences are commonly available from 3’ to the translation termination codon, in untranslated regions of eukaryotic or viral DNAs or cDNAs. These regions contain nucleotide segments transcribed as polyadenylated fragments in the untranslated portion of the mRNA.
[00211] Construction of suitable vectors containing one or more of the above-listed components employs standard ligation techniques or PCR/recombination methods. Isolated plasmids or DNA fragments are cleaved, tailored, and re-ligated in the form desired to generate the plasmids required or via recombination methods. For analysis to confirm correct sequences in plasmids constructed, the ligation mixtures are used to transform host cells, and successful transformants selected by antibiotic resistance (e.g. ampicillin or Zeocin) where appropriate. Plasmids from the transformants are prepared, analyzed by restriction endonuclease digestion and/or sequenced.
[00212] As an alternative to restriction and ligation of fragments, recombination methods based on att sites and recombination enzymes may be used to insert DNA sequences into a vector. Such methods are described, for example, by Landy (1989) Ann. Rev. Biochem. 58:913949; and are known to those of skill in the art. Such methods utilize intermolecular DNA recombination that is mediated by a mixture of lambda and E. coli-encoded recombination proteins. Recombination occurs between specific attachment (att) sites on the interacting DNA molecules. For a description of att sites see Weisberg and Landy (1983) Site-Specific Recombination in Phage Lambda, in Lambda II, Weisberg, ed. (Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.: Cold Spring Harbor Press), pp. 211-250. The DNA segments flanking the recombination sites are
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 switched, such that after recombination, the att sites are hybrid sequences comprised of sequences donated by each parental vector. The recombination can occur between DNAs of any topology. Each foregoing reference is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
[00213] Att sites may be introduced into a sequence of interest by ligating the sequence of interest into an appropriate vector; generating a PCR product containing att B sites through the use of specific primers; generating a cDNA library cloned into an appropriate vector containing att sites; and the like.
[00214] Monocistronic andpolycistronic genes. A monocistronic gene encodes an RNA that contains the genetic information to translate only a single protein. A polycistronic gene encodes an mRNA that contains the genetic information to translate more than one protein. The proteins encoded in a polycistronic gene may have the same or different sequences or a combination thereof. Dicistronic or bicistronic refers to a polycistronic gene that encodes two proteins. Polycistronic genes optionally include one or more internal ribosome entry site (IRES) elements to facilitate cap-independent initiation of translation, which may be situated at a location that can drive translation of the downstream protein coding region independently of the 5'-cap structure bound to the 5' end of the mRNA molecule. Any known IRES sequence (e.g., viral, eukaryotic, or artificial in origin) may be used. For example, the cricket paralysis virus IRES sequence in the intergenic region (IGR) may be used, as described in Thompson et al. (2001) PNAS 98:12972-12977. Optionally, IRES function may be potentiated by genetic alteration, e.g., by causing constitutive expression of eIF2 kinase GCN2 or disrupting two initiator tRNA(met) genes disrupted (id.).
[00215] Folding, as used herein, refers to the three-dimensional structure of polypeptides and proteins, where interactions between amino acid residues act to stabilize the structure. While non-covalent interactions are important in determining structure, usually the proteins of interest will have intra- and/or intermolecular covalent disulfide bonds formed by two cysteine residues. For naturally occurring proteins and polypeptides or derivatives and variants thereof, the proper folding is typically the arrangement that results in optimal biological activity, and can conveniently be monitored by assays for activity, e.g. ligand binding, enzymatic activity, etc.
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00216] In some instances, for example where the desired product is of synthetic origin, assays based on biological activity will be less meaningful. The proper folding of such molecules may be determined on the basis of physical properties, energetic considerations, modeling studies, and the like.
[00217] The expression host may be further modified by the introduction of sequences encoding one or more enzymes that enhance folding and disulfide bond formation, i.e. foldases, chaperoning, etc. Such sequences may be constitutively or inducibly expressed in the yeast host cell, using vectors, markers, etc. as known in the art. Preferably the sequences, including transcriptional regulatory elements sufficient for the desired pattern of expression, are stably integrated in the yeast genome through a targeted methodology.
[00218] For example, the eukaryotic PDI is not only an efficient catalyst of protein cysteine oxidation and disulfide bond isomerization, but also exhibits chaperone activity. Coexpression of PDI can facilitate the production of active proteins having multiple disulfide bonds. Also of interest is the expression of BIP (immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein); cyclophilin; and the like. In one embodiment of the invention, the multi-subunit complex may be expressed from a yeast strain produced by mating, wherein each of the haploid parental strains expresses a distinct folding enzyme, e.g. one strain may express BIP, and the other strain may express PDI or combinations thereof.
[00219] The terms desired protein or target protein are used interchangeably and refer generally to a heterologous multi-subunit protein such as an antibody (e.g., a humanized antibody) or a binding portion thereof described herein.
[00220] The term antibody includes any polypeptide chain-containing molecular structure with a specific shape that fits to and recognizes an epitope, where one or more noncovalent binding interactions stabilize the complex between the molecular structure and the epitope. The archetypal antibody molecule is the immunoglobulin, and all types of immunoglobulins, IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, IgD, etc., from all sources, e.g. human, rodent, rabbit, cow, sheep, pig, dog, other mammals, chicken, other avians, etc., are considered to be antibodies. A preferred source for producing antibodies useful as starting material according to the invention is rabbits. Numerous antibody coding sequences have been described; and others
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 may be raised by methods well-known in the art. Examples thereof include chimeric antibodies, human antibodies and other non-human mammalian antibodies, humanized antibodies, single chain antibodies such as scFvs, camelbodies, nanobodies, IgNAR (single-chain antibodies derived from sharks), small-modular immunopharmaceuticals (SMIPs), and antibody fragments such as Fabs, Fab', F(ab')2 and the like. See Streltsov V A, et al., Structure of a shark IgNAR antibody variable domain and modeling of an early-developmental isotype, Protein Sci. 2005 November; 14(11):2901-9. Epub 2005 Sep. 30; Greenberg A S, et al., A new antigen receptor gene family that undergoes rearrangement and extensive somatic diversification in sharks,

Epub 2006 Oct. 19. Each foregoing reference is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
[00221] For example, antibodies or antigen binding fragments may be produced by genetic engineering. In this technique, as with other methods, antibody-producing cells are sensitized to the desired antigen or immunogen. The messenger RNA isolated from antibody producing cells is used as a template to make cDNA using PCR amplification. A library of vectors, each containing one heavy chain gene and one light chain gene retaining the initial antigen specificity, is produced by insertion of appropriate sections of the amplified immunoglobulin cDNA into the expression vectors. A combinatorial library is constructed by combining the heavy chain gene library with the light chain gene library. This results in a library of clones which co-express a heavy and light chain (resembling the Fab fragment or antigen binding fragment of an antibody molecule). The vectors that carry these genes are co-transfected into a host cell. When antibody gene synthesis is induced in the transfected host, the heavy and light chain proteins self-assemble to produce active antibodies that can be detected by screening with the antigen or immunogen.
[00222] Antibody coding sequences of interest include those encoded by native sequences, as well as nucleic acids that, by virtue of the degeneracy of the genetic code, are not identical in sequence to the disclosed nucleic acids, and variants thereof. Variant polypeptides can include
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 amino acid (aa) substitutions, additions or deletions. The amino acid substitutions can be conservative amino acid substitutions or substitutions to eliminate non-essential amino acids, such as to alter a glycosylation site, or to minimize misfolding by substitution or deletion of one or more cysteine residues that are not necessary for function. Variants can be designed so as to retain or have enhanced biological activity of a particular region of the protein (e.g., a functional domain, catalytic amino acid residues, etc). Variants also include fragments of the polypeptides disclosed herein, particularly biologically active fragments and/or fragments corresponding to functional domains. Techniques for in vitro mutagenesis of cloned genes are known. Also included in the subject invention are polypeptides that have been modified using ordinary molecular biological techniques so as to improve their resistance to proteolytic degradation or to optimize solubility properties or to render them more suitable as a therapeutic agent.
[00223] Chimeric antibodies may be made by recombinant means by combining the variable light and heavy chain regions (Vl and Vh), obtained from antibody producing cells of one species with the constant light and heavy chain regions from another. Typically chimeric antibodies utilize rodent or rabbit variable regions and human constant regions, in order to produce an antibody with predominantly human domains. The production of such chimeric antibodies is well known in the art, and may be achieved by standard means (as described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 5,624,659, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). It is further contemplated that the human constant regions of chimeric antibodies of the invention may be selected from IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgG5, IgG6, IgG7, IgG8, IgG9, IgGlO, IgGl 1, IgG12, IgG13, IgG14, IgG15, IgG16, IgG17, IgG18 or IgG19 constant regions.
[00224] Humanized antibodies are engineered to contain even more human-like immunoglobulin domains, and incorporate only the complementarity-determining regions of the animal-derived antibody. This is accomplished by carefully examining the sequence of the hyper-variable loops of the variable regions of the monoclonal antibody, and fitting them to the structure of the human antibody chains. Although facially complex, the process is straightforward in practice. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,187,287, incorporated fully herein by reference. Methods of humanizing antibodies have been described previously in issued U.S. Patent No. 7935340, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
In some instances, a determination of whether additional rabbit framework residues are required
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 to maintain activity is necessary. In some instances the humanized antibodies still requires some critical rabbit framework residues to be retained to minimize loss of affinity or activity. In these cases, it is necessary to change single or multiple framework amino acids from human germline sequences back to the original rabbit amino acids in order to have desired activity. These changes are determined experimentally to identify which rabbit residues are necessary to preserve affinity and activity.
[00225] In addition to entire immunoglobulins (or their recombinant counterparts), immunoglobulin fragments comprising the epitope binding site (e.g., Fab', F(ab')2, or other fragments) may be synthesized. Fragment, or minimal immunoglobulins may be designed utilizing recombinant immunoglobulin techniques. For instance Fv immunoglobulins for use in the present invention may be produced by synthesizing a fused variable light chain region and a variable heavy chain region. Combinations of antibodies are also of interest, e.g. diabodies, which comprise two distinct Fv specificities. In another embodiment of the invention, SMIPs (small molecule immunopharmaceuticals), camelbodies, nanobodies, and IgNAR are encompassed by immunoglobulin fragments.
[00226] Immunoglobulins and fragments thereof may be modified post-translationally, e.g. to add effector moieties such as chemical linkers, detectable moieties, such as fluorescent dyes, enzymes, toxins, substrates, bioluminescent materials, radioactive materials, chemiluminescent moieties and the like, or specific binding moieties, such as streptavidin, avidin, or biotin, and the like may be utilized in the methods and compositions of the present invention. Examples of additional effector molecules are provided infra.
[00227] Product-associated variant', a product other than the desired product (e.g., the desired multi-subunit complex) which is present in a preparation of the desired product and related to the desired product. Exemplary product-associated variants include truncated or elongated peptides, products having different glycosylation than the desired glycosylation (e.g., if an aglycosylated product is desired then any glycosylated product would be considered to be a product-associated variant), complexes having abnormal stoichiometry, improper assembly, abnormal disulfide linkages, abnormal or incomplete folding, aggregation, protease cleavage, or other abnormalities. Exemplary product-associated variants may exhibit alterations in one or
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 more of molecular mass (e.g., detected by size exclusion chromatography), isoelectric point (e.g., detected by isoelectric focusing), electrophoretic mobility (e.g., detected by gel electrophoresis), phosphorylation state (e.g., detected by mass spectrometry), charge to mass ratio (e.g., detected by mass spectrometry), mass or identity of proteolytic fragments (e.g., detected by mass spectrometry or gel electrophoresis), hydrophobicity (e.g., detected by HPLC) , charge (e.g., detected by ion exchange chromatography), affinity (e.g., in the case of an antibody, detected by binding to protein A, protein G, and/or an epitope to which the desired antibody binds), and glycosylation state (e.g., detected by lectin binding affinity). Where the desired protein is an antibody, the term product-associate variant may include a glyco-heavy variant and/or half antibody species (described below).
[00228] Exemplary product-associated variants include variant forms that contain aberrant disulfide bonds. For example, most IgGl antibody molecules are stabilized by a total of 16 intrachain and inter-chain disulfide bridges, which stabilize the folding of the IgG domains in both heavy and light chains, while the inter-chain disulfide bridges stabilize the association between heavy and light chains. Other antibody types likewise contain characteristic stabilizing intrachain and inter-chain disulfide bonds. Further, some antibodies (including Ab-A and Ab-B disclosed herein) contain additional disulfide bonds referred to as non-canonical disulfide bonds. Thus, aberrant inter-chain disulfide bonds may result in abnormal complex stoichiometry, due to the absence of a stabilizing covalent linkage, and/or disulfide linkages to additional subunits. Additionally, aberrant disulfide bonds (whether inter-chain or intra-chain) may decrease structural stability of the antibody, which may result in decreased activity, decreased stability, increased propensity to form aggregates, and/or increased immunogenicity. Product-associated variants containing aberrant disulfide bonds may be detected in a variety of ways, including nonreduced denaturing SDS-PAGE, capillary electrophoresis, cIEX, mass spectrometry (optionally with chemical modification to produce a mass shift in free cysteines), size exclusion chromatography, HPLC, changes in light scattering, and any other suitable methods known in the art. See, e.g., The Protein Protocols Handbook 2002, Part V, 581-583, DOE 10.1385/1-59259169-8:581;
[00229] Half antibody, half-antibody species, or HILI refer to a protein complex that includes a single heavy and single light antibody chain, but lacks a covalent linkage to a second
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 heavy and light antibody chain. Two half antibodies may remain non-covalently associated under some conditions (which may give behavior similar to a full antibody, e.g., apparent molecular weight determined by size exclusion chromatography). Similarly, H2L1 refers to a protein complex that includes two heavy antibody chains and single light antibody chain, but lacks a covalent linkage to a second light antibody chain; these complexes may also noncovalently associate with another light antibody chain (and likewise give similar behavior to a full antibody). Like full antibodies, half antibody species and H2L1 species can dissociate under reducing conditions into individual heavy and light chains. Half antibody species and H2L1 species can be detected on a non-reduced SDS-PAGE gel as a species migrating at a lower apparent molecular weight than the full antibody, e.g., HILI migrates at approximately half the apparent molecular weight of the full antibody (e.g., about 75 kDa).
[00230] Glyco-heavy variant refers to a glycosylated product-associated variant sometimes present in antibody preparations and which contains at least a partial Fc sequence. The glyco-heavy variant is characterized by decreased electrophoretic mobility observable by SDS-PAGE (relative to a normal heavy chain), lectin binding affinity, binding to an anti-Fc antibody, and apparent higher molecular weight of antibody complexes containing the glycoheavy variant as determined by size exclusion chromatography. See U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/525,307 (Atty. Docket No. 67858.730200), filed August 31, 2011 which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
[00231] The term polyploid yeast that stably expresses or expresses a desired secreted heterologous polypeptide for prolonged time refers to a yeast culture that secretes said polypeptide for at least several days to a week, more preferably at least a month, still more preferably at least 1-6 months, and even more preferably for more than a year at threshold expression levels, typically at least 50-500 mg/liter (after about 90 hours in culture) and preferably substantially greater.
[00232] The term polyploidal yeast culture that secretes desired amounts of recombinant polypeptide refers to cultures that stably or for prolonged periods secrete at least at least 50-500 mg/liter, and most preferably 500-1000 mg/liter or more.
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00233] A polynucleotide sequence corresponds to a polypeptide sequence if translation of the polynucleotide sequence in accordance with the genetic code yields the polypeptide sequence (i.e., the polynucleotide sequence encodes the polypeptide sequence), one polynucleotide sequence corresponds to another polynucleotide sequence if the two sequences encode the same polypeptide sequence.
[00234] A heterologous region or domain of a DNA construct is an identifiable segment of DNA within a larger DNA molecule that is not found in association with the larger molecule in nature. Thus, when the heterologous region encodes a mammalian gene, the gene will usually be flanked by DNA that does not flank the mammalian genomic DNA in the genome of the source organism. Another example of a heterologous region is a construct where the coding sequence itself is not found in nature (e.g., a cDNA where the genomic coding sequence contains introns, or synthetic sequences having codons different than the native gene). Allelic variations or naturally-occurring mutational events do not give rise to a heterologous region of DNA as defined herein.
[00235] A coding sequence is an in-frame sequence of codons that (in view of the genetic code) correspond to or encode a protein or peptide sequence. Two coding sequences correspond to each other if the sequences or their complementary sequences encode the same amino acid sequences. A coding sequence in association with appropriate regulatory sequences may be transcribed and translated into a polypeptide. A polyadenylation signal and transcription termination sequence will usually be located 3' to the coding sequence. A promoter sequence is a DNA regulatory region capable of binding RNA polymerase in a cell and initiating transcription of a downstream (3' direction) coding sequence. Promoter sequences typically contain additional sites for binding of regulatory molecules (e.g., transcription factors) which affect the transcription of the coding sequence. A coding sequence is under the control of the promoter sequence or operatively linked to the promoter when RNA polymerase binds the promoter sequence in a cell and transcribes the coding sequence into mRNA, which is then in turn translated into the protein encoded by the coding sequence.
[00236] Vectors are used to introduce a foreign substance, such as DNA, RNA or protein, into an organism or host cell. Typical vectors include recombinant viruses (for polynucleotides)
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 and liposomes (for polypeptides). A DNA vector is a replicon, such as plasmid, phage or cosmid, to which another polynucleotide segment may be attached so as to bring about the replication of the attached segment. An expression vector is a DNA vector which contains regulatory sequences which will direct polypeptide synthesis by an appropriate host cell. This usually means a promoter to bind RNA polymerase and initiate transcription of mRNA, as well as ribosome binding sites and initiation signals to direct translation of the mRNA into a polypeptide(s). Incorporation of a polynucleotide sequence into an expression vector at the proper site and in correct reading frame, followed by transformation of an appropriate host cell by the vector, enables the production of a polypeptide encoded by said polynucleotide sequence.
[00237] Amplification of polynucleotide sequences is the in vitro production of multiple copies of a particular nucleic acid sequence. The amplified sequence is usually in the form of DNA. A variety of techniques for carrying out such amplification are described in the following review articles, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety: Van Brunt 1990, Bio/Technol., 8(4):291-294; and Gill and Ghaemi, Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2008 Mar;27(3):224-43. Polymerase chain reaction or PCR is a prototype of nucleic acid amplification, and use of PCR herein should be considered exemplary of other suitable amplification techniques.
[00238] The general structure of antibodies in most vertebrates (including mammals) is now well understood (Edelman, G. M., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 190: 5 (1971)). Conventional antibodies consist of two identical light polypeptide chains of molecular weight approximately 23,000 daltons (the light chain), and two identical heavy chains of molecular weight 53,00070,000 (the heavy chain). The four chains are joined by disulfide bonds in a Y configuration wherein the light chains bracket the heavy chains starting at the mouth of the Y configuration. The branch portion of the Y configuration is designated the Fab region; the stem portion of the Y configuration is designated the Fc region. The amino acid sequence orientation runs from the N-terminal end at the top of the Y configuration to the C-terminal end at the bottom of each chain. The N-terminal end possesses the variable region having specificity for the antigen that elicited it, and is approximately 100 amino acids in length, there being slight variations between light and heavy chain and from antibody to antibody.
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00239] The variable region is linked in each chain to a constant region that extends the remaining length of the chain and that within a particular class of antibody does not vary with the specificity of the antibody (i.e., the antigen eliciting it). There are five known major classes of constant regions that determine the class of the immunoglobulin molecule (IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE corresponding to gamma, mu, alpha, delta, and epsilon heavy chain constant regions). The constant region or class determines subsequent effector function of the antibody, including activation of complement (Kabat, E. A., Structural Concepts in Immunology and
Immunochemistry, 2nd Ed., p. 413-436, Holt, Rinehart, Winston (1976)), and other cellular responses (Andrews, D. W., et al., Clinical Immunobiology, pp 1-18, W. B. Sanders (1980);
Kohl, S., et al., Immunology, 48: 187 (1983)); while the variable region determines the antigen with which it will react. Light chains are classified as either kappa or lambda. Each heavy chain class can be paired with either kappa or lambda light chain. The light and heavy chains are covalently bonded to each other, and the tail portions of the two heavy chains are bonded to each other by covalent disulfide linkages when the immunoglobulins are generated either by hybridomas or by B cells.
[00240] The expression variable region or VR refers to the domains within each pair of light and heavy chains in an antibody that are involved directly in binding the antibody to the antigen. Each heavy chain has at one end a variable domain (Vh) followed by a number of constant domains. Each light chain has a variable domain (Vl) at one end and a constant domain at its other end; the constant domain of the light chain is aligned with the first constant domain of the heavy chain, and the light chain variable domain is aligned with the variable domain of the heavy chain.
[00241] The expressions complementarity determining region, hypervariable region, or CDR refer to one or more of the hyper-variable or complementarity determining regions (CDRs) found in the variable regions of light or heavy chains of an antibody (See Kabat, E. A. et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., (1987)). These expressions include the hypervariable regions as defined by Kabat et al. (Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Kabat E., et al., US Dept. of Health and Human Services, 1983) or the hypervariable loops in 3-dimensional structures of antibodies (Chothia and Lesk, J Mol. Biol. 196 901-917 (1987)). The CDRs in each chain are held in close
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 proximity by framework regions and, with the CDRs from the other chain, contribute to the formation of the antigen binding site. Within the CDRs there are select amino acids that have been described as the selectivity determining regions (SDRs) which represent the critical contact residues used by the CDR in the antibody-antigen interaction (Kashmiri, S., Methods, 36:25-34 (2005)).
[00242] The expressions framework region or FR refer to one or more of the framework regions within the variable regions of the light and heavy chains of an antibody (See Rabat, E. A. et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., (1987)). These expressions include those amino acid sequence regions interposed between the CDRs within the variable regions of the light and heavy chains of an antibody.

EXAMPLES [00874] The following examples are put forth so as to provide those of ordinary skill in the art with a complete disclosure and description of how to make and use the subject invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of what is regarded as the invention. Efforts have been made to ensure accuracy with respect to the numbers used (e.g. amounts, temperature, concentrations, etc.) but some experimental errors and deviations should be allowed for. Unless otherwise indicated, parts are parts by weight, molecular weight is average molecular weight, temperature is in degrees centigrade; and pressure is at or near atmospheric.
[00875] EXAMPLE 1 [00876] This example describes culture methods that improved the purity of recombinant antibodies produced from cultured P. pastoris cells. When a bolus of ethanol was added during culturing, the resulting antibodies exhibited a great decrease in the concentration of an undesired product-associated variant.
[00877] Methods [00878] To generate the inoculum, diploid P. pastoris was grown using a medium composed of the following nutrients (percentages are given as w/v): yeast extract 3%, anhydrous dextrose 2%, YNB 1.34%, Biotin 0.004% and 100 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.0). The inoculum medium for runs L355, L357, L358, L359 and L360 was composed of the following nutrients (percentages are given as w/v): yeast extract 3%, glycerol 2%, YNB 1.34%, Biotin 0.004%, 200 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.0) The inoculum was grown for approximately 24 hours to 29 hours in a shaking incubator at 30°C and 300 rpm. A 10% inoculum was then added to Labfors 2.5L working volume vessels containing 1 L sterile growth medium. The growth medium was composed of the following nutrients: potassium sulfate 18.2 g/L, ammonium phosphate monobasic 36.4 g/L, potassium phosphate dibasic 12.8 g/L, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate 3.72 g/L, sodium citrate dihydrate 10 g/L, glycerol 40 g/L, yeast extract 30 g/L, PTM1 trace metals 4.35 mL/L, and antifoam 204 1.67 mL/L. The PTM1 trace metal solution was comprised of the following components: cupric sulfate pentahydrate 6 g/L, sodium iodide
226
2016273912 14 Dec 2016
0.08 g/L, manganese sulfate hydrate 3 g/L, sodium molybdate dihyrate 0.2 g/L, boric acid 0.02 g/L, cobalt chloride 0.5 g/L, zinc chloride 20 g/L, ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 65 g/L, biotin 0.2 g/L, and sulfuric acid 5 mL/L. The yeast strain was engineered to express Ab-A antibody from four integrated genomic copies of the heavy chain coding sequence (SEQ ID NO: 441) and 3 copies of the light chain coding sequence (SEQ ID NO: 440). The heavy chain gene copies were integrated into the pGAP locus (3 copies) and HIS4 TT locus (1 copy) while the 3 light chain gene copies were integrated into the pGAP locus. The antibody chain gene copies were each under the control of the GAP promoter. The bioreactor process control parameters were set as follows: Agitation 1000 rpm, airflow 1.35 standard liter per minute, temperature 28°C and pH was controlled (at 6) using ammonium hydroxide. No oxygen supplementation was provided.
[00879] Following addition of the inoculum, fermentation cultures were grown for approximately 12 to 16 hours (the “growth phase”). The growth phase ended when the initial glycerol in the medium was consumed, as which was detected by a dissolved oxygen (“DO”) spike (a sudden increase in the dissolved oxygen concentration). The cultures were then starved for approximately three hours after the dissolved oxygen spike (“starvation phase”) for run L306. For other runs, the ethanol bolus was added immediately after DO spike. A bolus of ethanol was then added to the reactor to give a final concentration of 1% ethanol (w/v). Control cultures were treated identically, except that the bolus addition of ethanol was omitted. The fermentation cultures were allowed to equilibrate for 15 to 30 minutes (“equilibration phase”). After the equilibration phase, feed was added at a constant rate of 30 g/L/hr for 40 minutes (“transition phase”). For the remainder of the culture (“production phase”) the ethanol concentration was detected using an ethanol sensing probe (Raven Biotech) which was used to control the feed rate, with the feed rate being set at 15 g/L/hr when the ethanol concentration was below the set point, or 7.5 g/L/hr when the ethanol concentration was above the set point. In instances in which the high feed rate of 15 g/L/hr was not high enough to maintain ethanol at set point (which occurred in the L315 fermentation run), the high feed rate was set to 22.5 g/L/hr while the low feed rate was set to 15 g/L/hr. The same set point was maintained whether or not an ethanol bolus had been added to the culture (production of ethanol by the yeast caused the set point to be reached without the bolus addition of ethanol). The feed was composed of the following components: yeast extract 50 g/L, anhydrous dextrose 500 g/L, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate 3 g/L, PTM1 trace metals 12 mL/L, and sodium citrate dihydrate 0.5g/L The total fermentation time was
227
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 typically 85 hours to 97 hours in these experiments, though longer and shorter times can also be used.
[00880] After the production phase, fermentation cultures had PEI (polyethyleneimine) and EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) added to 0.05% w/v and 3 mM final concentrations respectively. The cultures were then spun in a centrifuge and antibodies were purified from the culture supernatant by Protein A affinity. Briefly, approximately 20 mL of 0.2μ clarified supernatants from harvested fermentation broth were diluted with the same volume of equilibration buffer (20 mM Histidine pH6). From this diluted broth, 20 mL were then loaded onto a pre-equilibrated 1 mL HiTrap MabSelect Sure column (GE, Piscataway, NJ). The column was subsequently washed using 40 column volumes of equilibration buffer. The antibody bound onto the column was eluted using a step gradient into 100% elution buffer (100 mM Citric Acid pH 3.0). One mL fractions were collected and immediately neutralized using 100pL of 2M Tris buffer pH 8.0. Protein containing fractions were determined by measuring absorbance at 280nM and protein-containing fractions were pooled.
[00881] Protein A purified antibodies were analyzed for purity by SDS-PAGE. For nonreduced samples, SDS-PAGE was carried out using precast polyacrylamide gels (NuPAGE® Bis-Tris Gels) containing a 4%-12% polyacrylamide gradient, using NuPAGE® MES SDS running buffer and NuPAGE® LDS Sample Buffer (all from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Ca.) in accord with the manufacturer’s instructions. Proteins were then visualized by Coomassie blue staining. Reduced samples were processed in the same manner except that samples were reduced prior to loading using the NuPAGE® Sample Reducing Agent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Ca.) in accord with the manufacturer’s instructions.
[00882] Results [00883] To determine the effect of a bolus addition of ethanol during culture on antibody purity, the antibody Ab-A was produced from yeast cultures with or without the addition of a bolus of ethanol to a final concentration of 1% (10 g/L) at the end of the growth phase and prior to the production phase. The production phase was continued for 97 hours (FIG. 1), 87 hours (FIG. 2), or 86 hours (FIG. 3). The antibody produced by each culture was then harvested from the culture media, purified by Protein A affinity chromatography.
228
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00884] SDS-PAGE was used to detect the relative abundance of the full antibody, the “half antibody” or HILI complex (containing one heavy and one light chain) and the H2L1 complex (containing two heavy chains and one light chain). The abundance of the HILI and H2L1 complexes was greatly decreased in the cultures that were produced with the bolus addition of ethanol. This improvement was reproduced in three experiments shown in FIG. 1 A, compare lanes 2 and 3 (with bolus) to 5 (no bolus); FIG. 2A, compare lane 2 (with bolus) to 3 (no bolus); FIG. 3A, compare lanes 2 and 4 (with bolus) to lanes 5-7 (no bolus). Under reducing conditions, the HILI, H2L1, and full antibody species were each separated into individual heavy and light chains, confirming the identity of the 75 kDa band as consisting of one light and one heavy chain joined by a disulfide-linkage (FIGS. IB and 2B; lane order is the same as FIGS. 1A and IB, respectively).
[00885] The decrease in abundance of the HILI species was then quantified using Image J to plot the gel band density along the length of the non-reduced gels (FIGS. 1C-E and 2C-D, respectively corresponding to FIG. 1A, lanes 2, 3, and 5, and FIG. 2A, lanes 2 and 3, and FIG. 3B, corresponding to lanes 2 and 4-6 of FIG. 3A). The area under the HILI peak was quantified and results are tabulated in FIGS. IF, 2E, and 3B. Based on these measurements, the addition of an ethanol bolus prior to antibody production decreased the relative abundance of the 75 kDa band by about 90% in FIG. 1 A, by about 85% in FIG. 2A, and by about 87% in FIG. 3A.
[00886] In summary, these results demonstrate that the concentration of the HILI species was greatly decreased by the bolus addition of ethanol to the culture, resulting in decreased production of the HILI species between about 85% to 90%.
[00887] EXAMPLE 2 [00888] This example extends the results obtained in Example 1 by demonstrating that the same methods produced a similar improvement in antibody purity when used during production of two additional antibodies.
[00889] Methods [00890] Antibodies Ab-B and Ab-C were recombinantly produced using the methods described in Example 1. Antibody Ab-C was expressed from a yeast strain engineered contain
229
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 four copies of the heavy chain coding sequence (SEQ ID NO: 439) and three copies of the light chain coding sequence (SEQ ID NO: 438). Samples were taken from the reactors and culture supernatant containing antibodies was collected after a total fermentation time of 67 hours (T67) or 87 hours (T87) for the Ab-B antibody and for 86 hours (T86) for the Ab-C antibody, purified by Protein A affinity, and analyzed by SDS-PAGE as described in Example 1.
[00891] Results [00892] Antibodies Ab-B (FIG. 4) and Ab-C (FIG. 5) were produced with or without a bolus addition of ethanol to a final concentration of 1% at the end of the growth phase and prior to the production phase. For the antibodies produced without the bolus addition of ethanol, the HILI or half antibody species, and the H2L1 species were each observed as a prominent band (FIG. 4A, lines 6 and 7; FIG. 4C, lanes 6 and 7; FIG. 5 A, lanes 5 and 6). The intensity of these bands were greatly decreased for the culture produced with a bolus addition of ethanol (FIG. 4A, lanes 2-3; FIG. 4C, lanes 2-3; FIG. 5A, lane 3). Under reducing conditions, the HILI and H2L1 bands were separated into individual heavy and light chains, confirming the identity of these species as consisting full length heavy and light chains (FIGS. 4B, 4D, and 5B; lane order is the same as in FIGS. 4A, 4D, and 5A, respectively).
[00893] The decrease in abundance of the HILI species was then quantified using Image J to plot the gel band density along the length of the non-reduced gels. FIGS. 4E and 4F tabulate the area contained in the HILI peaks shown in FIGS. 4A (T67) and 4C (T87), respectively, demonstrating that the bolus addition of ethanol produced about a 73% reduction in the relative abundance of HILI complexes at the earlier time point shown FIG. 4A and about a 34% average reduction in the relative abundance of HILI complexes at the later time point shown in FIG. 4C. Similarly, FIG. 5C tabulates the area contained in the HILI peaks shown in FIGS. 5A, demonstrating about a 61% average reduction in the relative abundance of HILI complexes by the bolus addition of ethanol.
[00894] In summary, these results demonstrate that the concentration of the HILI and H2L1 species were decreased by between about 61% and 73% by the bolus addition of ethanol to the culture for two additional antibodies having binding specificity for different targets.
230
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00895] EXAMPLE 3 [00896] This example further describes the improved purity of recombinant antibodies produced from cultured P. pastoris cells through addition of a bolus of ethanol during culturing. In addition to greatly decreasing the abundance of the HILI and H2L1 species, this example further demonstrates a decrease in the concentration of other product-associated variants.
[00897] Methods [00898] Recombinant antibodies Ab-A, Ab-B, and Ab-C were prepared and purified from P. pastoris cultures as described in Examples 1 and 2. Antibodies were produced either with or without a bolus addition of ethanol to a final concentration of 1% (w/v) at the end of the growth phase and prior to the production phase. To analyze the purity of protein A purified antibody preparations, size exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC) was used. Briefly, an Agilent (Santa Clara, CA) 1200 Series HPLC with UV detection instrument was used. For sample separation, a TSKgel 3000SWxl 7.8x300 mm column connected with a TSKgel Guard SWXL 6x40 mm from Tosoh Bioscience (King of Prussia, PA) was used. A solution of 100 mM sodium phosphate, 200 mM sodium chloride pH 6.5 was used as mobile phase with a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min in isocratic mode and absorbance at UV 215nm was monitored. Before injection of samples the column was equilibrated until a stable baseline was achieved. Samples were diluted to a concentration of 1 mg/mL using mobile phase and a 30 uL volume was injected. To monitor column performance, BioRad (Hercules, CA) gel filtration standards were used.
[00899] Results [00900] The Ab-A antibody preparations described in Example 1 and additional preparations produced using the same methods were expressed in yeast, purified by protein A affinity, and then analyzed for purity using size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Under the condition used, the half antibody (HILI) species co-elutes with the full antibody, which is thought to be due to non-covalent association between pairs of half antibodies. However, this method allows purity to be assessed with respect to other product-associated variants, such complexes having aberrant stoichiometry, fragments, glycosylated forms, and aggregates.
231
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00901] SE-HPLC data are shown for Ab-A samples produced without (FIGS. 6A, 6C, and 6E) or with (FIGS. 6B, 6D, and 6F) a bolus addition of ethanol. A product-associated variant consisting of an aggregate of two full antibodies (containing four heavy and four light chains) was detected (arrow), and the abundance thereof was reduced on average in the samples prepared with the bolus addition. FIG. 7 shows quantification of the purity of Ab-A by determining the percentage of the antibody preparation contained in the main peak (containing the full antibody). The bolus addition of ethanol increased the average percentage contained in the main peak from 80.3% up to 90.6%.
[00902] Similar analysis was performed for the Ab-B and Ab-C antibody preparations described in Example 2, quantified in FIGS. 8 and 9, respectively. Overall purity of the Ab-B antibody was improved, with the average fraction in the main peak increasing from 76% to 79% at T67 and from 60% to 73% at T87. For the Ab-C antibody, there was little detectable difference in antibody purity assessed by this method, apparently due to the high initial purity of the Ab-C antibody even without the bolus addition.
[00903] In summary, these results demonstrate that a bolus addition of ethanol to the culture can decrease the concentration of other product-associated variants in addition to the half-antibody species.
[00904] EXAMPLE 4 [00905] This example describes the further confirmation of the identity of the 75 kDa product associated variant as a half antibody species containing only one antibody heavy chain and only one antibody light chain. This hypothesis was based on several observations. First, the 75 kDa band was present in protein A purified samples (see Example 1) indicating that it contained at least the protein A binding portion of an antibody heavy chain. Second, the 75 kDa band was prominent in non-reduced samples analyzed by SDS-PAGE (see, e.g., FIG. 1 A, lanes 2-3), but under reducing conditions the same samples did not contain any bands of comparable intensity (other than the expected light and heavy chains), indicating that the 75 kDa band does not include any components other than antibody heavy and light chains (or other species having the same electrophoretic mobility). Third, disappearance of the 75 kDa band from the reduced samples also indicates that its constituents are linked by at least one disulfide bond. Fourth, SEC
232
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 analysis had demonstrated co-elution of the 75 kDa species with the full antibody, strongly suggesting that the 75 kDa species can non-covalently self-associate to form a full antibody (or another complex of the same apparent hydrodynamic radius). Finally, the apparent molecular weight of about 75 kDa (determined by reference to electrophoresis standards), taken together with the observation (from denaturing gels) that this complex was only made up of full-length antibody chains, was consistent with complex containing only one heavy chain and only one light chain, but was inconsistent with other complexes.
[00906] Methods [00907] Mass spectrometry was used to detect the relative abundance of heavy chains lacking the inter-heavy chain disulfide bonds (normally found at amino acids 220 and 223) in different samples. Two-hundred and fifty micrograms of each sample was added into an Eppendorf tube. An appropriate amount (~450 pL) of denaturing buffer (6 M Guanidine-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.25 M Tris, pH 7.5) was added to the tube to obtain a final volume of 500 pL and a sample concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. Twelve and a half microliters of 2 M Iodoacetamide was added into each sample to alkylate any free cysteine. The samples were vortexed then incubated at room temperature, in the dark, for 30 ± 5 minutes. The samples were then desalted using NAP5 columns pre-equilibrated with digestion buffer (0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 7.5). Each sample solution was added to separate (pre-equilibrated) columns and allowed to enter the column bed. One milliliter of digestion buffer was added to each column and the eluent was collected into Eppendorf tubes. The samples were divided into equal aliquots containing approximately 50 pg of material (five 200 pL aliquots). The alkylated and desalted aliquots were stored at -20 °C until needed. One aliquot of each sample (alkylated, and desalted) was used for each digestion.
Trypsin solution at 0.5 mg/mL was added to each sample aliquot at a 1:25 w:w ratio of trypsimprotein (4 pL). All trypsin tubes were incubated at 37 ± 2 °C for 4 hours. After incubation, the enzymatic digestion was quenched by adding 1 pL of Trifluoroacetic acid to each tube. The samples were then divided into two equal portions, reduced and non-reduced. Half the samples were reduced in the presence of 1 M DTT for 1 hour at 37 ± 2 °C. The contents of both reduced and nonreduced samples were transferred to HPLC vials and placed in the autosampler for analysis.

2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00908] MS and MS/MS data was collected on a Micromass Q-TOF Ultima mass spectrometer using electrospray ionization (ESI) in positive ion mode. Data was acquired from m/z 200-1950 in MS mode. Prior to analysis, the mass spectrometer was calibrated using a 5th order fit on fragment ions of [Glu'j-Fibrinopcptidc covering a range from m/z 175 to 1285. The injections volumes were adjusted to achieve an on-column load of approximately 20 pmoles of protein.
[00909] Results [00910] Based on the observations discussed above, Applicants hypothesized that the 75 kDa band was a “half antibody” species containing one heavy antibody chain and one light antibody chain covalently linked to one another through disulfide bonds, and that pairs of half antibody complexes could non-covalently associate to form a complex having the same stoichiometry as a full antibody (two heavy chains and two light chains) but lacking the disulfide linkages between the two heavy chains (“unlinked heavy chains”). Based thereon, it was predicted the relative abundance of the 75 kDa band would correlate with the relative proportion of unlinked heavy chains, which was determined using mass spectrometry analysis of trypsin digested antibody samples.
[00911] The peptide fragments of interest for this study were the T17 trypsin fragment of the heavy chain (T17H) which is composed of amino acids 217-242, respectively. Amino acids 220 and 223 are responsible for disulfide bonding between antibody heavy chains. Typically, free cysteine analysis can be conducted by determining a ratio of alkylated cysteine residues to non-alkylated residues in reduced samples after a tryptic digestion. However, alkylated species were not present in either lot of material. It was hypothesized the two cysteine residues of the peptide fragment of interest, T17H, were bonding to each other, or the cysteines were protected by the antibody’s quaternary structure. In either case, the cysteine residues would not be accessible for alkylation. Instead, the analytical approach was to utilize the ratio of non-reduced species to reduced species in both lots to calculate a percent difference. It was observed that the non-reduced samples had a 2 Da decrease in molecular weight, indicative of disulfide bonding. This behavior was exploited to calculate the percent free T17H. The theoretical mass of the non234
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 reduced T17H species is 2727.41 Da (disulfide bonding between Cys220 & Cys223) and 2729.41 Da for reduced peptide.
[00912] The extracted ion chromatograms of reduced and non-reduced samples were analyzed for representative charge states, ratio of counts between the non-reduced to reduced samples calculates the free T17H species to be 2.3% in the antibody produced with a bolus addition of ethanol, and 26.1% in the sample produced without a bolus addition of ethanol.
These results are presented in tabular form in Fig. 9.
[00913] Thus, the abundance of heavy chains lacking the inter-heavy chain disulfide bond was greatly increased in the sample produced without the bolus addition of ethanol, further confirming the identity of this species as containing one heavy chain and one light chain but lacking an inter-heavy chain disulfide bond. Moreover, the detection of a species 2 Da lighter than the expected mass indicated that heavy chain in the HILI species may contain an extra disulfide bond to itself which may interfere with the formation of the normal inter-heavy chain disulfide bond.
[00914] EXAMPLE 5 [00915] This example demonstrates a correlation between cell viability and antibody purity. The addition of an ethanol bolus generally improved cell viability and antibody purity for Ab-A and the Ab-B antibody. Further, the Ab-C antibody, which already exhibited high purity even without the bolus addition, also exhibited higher culture viability. Taken together, these results suggest that the improvement in antibody purity resulting from a bolus addition of ethanol is at least partially attributable to increased culture viability.
[00916] Methods [00917] Culture viability was determined using a Cellometer (Nexcelom). Culture samples were diluted with PBS so that the final cell count was within 1 x 107 to 5 x 107 cells/mL. One half of the sample was then treated to heat conditions of 75°C for 10 minutes as positive control for propidium iodide (PI) staining. The untreated sample and treated sample were then mixed with PI (20 uL of sample plus 20 uL of PI). The sample was then placed in a slide cassette and viability was determined by counting the number of non-fluorescing cells then dividing by the
235
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 total number of cells. Cells that are dead have taken up the propidium iodide and are fluorescing so the positive control heat killed sample should show less than 1% cells alive.
[00918] Results [00919] Cell viability was determined for antibody-producing cultures grown with or without a bolus addition of ethanol as described in Examples 1 and 2. As described above, purity of the Ab-A and Ab-B antibodies were greatly improved by a bolus addition of ethanol to the yeast culture (see Examples 1-2 and FIGS. 1-4). The addition of an ethanol bolus improved cell viability for these cultures as well. For the Ab-A antibody, viability improved from 91.9% to 97.2% on average (FIG. 11), while for the Ab-B antibody, viability improved from 84.8% to 95.1% on average (FIG. 12). Due to the already high purity of the Ab-C antibody produced even without the bolus addition of ethanol, the improvements in the purity of this antibody resulting from the bolus addition of ethanol were more modest (see Example 3 and FIG. 5). Consistent with the observation that high cell viability correlated with higher antibody purity, the Ab-C antibody cultures exhibited high cell viability (95.8%% on average) in the absence of a bolus addition of ethanol, which was little changed by the bolus addition of ethanol (96.8%).
[00920] Taken together, these results indicate that the improvement in antibody purity resulting from the addition of an ethanol bolus may be in part caused by (or at least correlates with) an improvement in cell viability.
[00921] EXAMPLE 6 [00922] This example demonstrates that a similar improvement in antibody purity can be attained with varying ethanol bolus concentrations.
[00923] Methods [00924] The Ab-A antibody was produced as in Example 1, except that the bolus addition of ethanol was 5 g/L (0.5% w/v), 10 g/L (1% w/v), or 15 g/L (1.5% w/v). Antibodies samples were purified from the culture media at 63 and 86 hours and purified by protein A affinity, then the purity was analyzed by non-reduced SDS-PAGE as in Example 1.
236
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00925] Results [00926] Antibody purity was similarly high irrespective of the bolus concentration added (between 0.5% and 1.5% w/v), at both time points tested, 63 hours (FIG. 14A) and 86 hours (FIG, 14B). Detected levels of the HILI and H2L1 species were similarly low in each culture.
[00927] These results indicate that the improvement in antibody purity can be attained while varying the ethanol bolus concentration.
[00928] EXAMPLE 7 [00929] This example demonstrates that similar improvements in antibody purity can be attained while varying the duration of the “starvation period” between the dissolved oxygen spike and the addition of the ethanol bolus to the cultures.
[00930] Methods [00931] The Ab-A antibody was produced as in Example 1, except that the duration of the starvation period, the time between the dissolved oxygen spike (indicating exhaustion of the carbon source in the culture) and the bolus addition of ethanol, was either 0 hours or 3 hours. Antibodies samples were purified from the culture media and purified by protein A affinity, then the purity was analyzed by non-reduced SDS-PAGE as in Example 1.
[00932] Results [00933] Antibody purity was similarly high irrespective of the variation of the starvation period between 0 and 3 hours (FIG. 15 A, compare lanes 5 (0 hours starvation) and 6 (3 hours starvation)). Detected levels of the HILI and H2L1 species were similarly low in each culture.
[00934] These results indicate that the improvement in antibody purity can be attained with a varying the duration of the starvation period.
237
2016273912 14 Dec 2016 [00935] EXAMPLE 8 [00936] This example tests the effect on antibody purity from varying the duration of the “equilibration period” between the addition of the ethanol bolus and commencement of adding the feed to the cultures.
[00937] Methods [00938] The Ab-B antibody was produced as in Example 2, except that the duration of the equilibration period, the time between addition of the ethanol bolus and the commencement of feeding the culture, was 0, 30, or 60 minutes. Additionally, the yeast strain from which the Ab-B antibody was produced contained three copies of the light chain gene instead of four. Antibodies samples were purified from the culture media and purified by protein A affinity, then the purity was analyzed by non-reduced SDS-PAGE as in Example 1. Viability was also assessed using the methods described in Example 5.
[00939] Results [00940] Antibody purity was similarly high for an equilibration period of 0 or 30 minutes (FIG. 16A, lanes 7 and 8 (0 minutes equilibration time) and lane 3 (30 minutes equilibration time). However, detected levels of the HILI and H2L1 species were increased in the culture with the 60 minute equilibration period (FIG. 16A, lanes 5 and 6).
[00941] Viability was also assessed for each culture at the 23 hour and 85 hour time points. For the 60 minute equilibration period, viability was between 75% and 80% at 23 hours, while at the same time point viability was approximately 88-90% for the 0 and 30 minute equilibration periods (FIG. 16B). Subsequently, at 85 hours, viability had improved but remained somewhat reduced for the 60 minute equilibration period relative to the 0 and 30 minute equilibration periods (FIG. 16C).
[00942] These results indicate that the improvement in antibody purity can be attained while varying the equilibration period at least between 0 and 30 minutes, while some loss of viability and purity may occur for an equilibration period of 60 minutes or longer (though purity may still be improved relative to a control culture without a bolus addition of ethanol).
