WO93/14198 P~T/US93/ ~ 82 2127~50 ~2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Mammalian diseases, especially human di~eases caused by streptococcal infection with bacteria ~uch as Streptococcus pyogenes are a ~ignificant health problem.
In the United States alonej 25 to 35 million cases of group A strep~ococcal inf~ctions, which primarily afflict school age children are reported annually (l). The high inciden~e and potential severity of str~ptococcal infections provide impetu~ ~or development of an e~fective and safe vaccine to prevent streptococcal related infec~ions.
It has now been discovered that there is a streptococcal surface dehydrogenase (SDH) protein on the surface of streptococci from several serological groups such as ~roup A type 6 strep~ococci which has both `~ enzymatic activity and a binding capacity for a variety of proteins. In the earlier applications in this series, this ~Ur~aze protein was referred to as MF6, that b~ing the laboratory code designation assigned to it when it was initially isolated, purified and characterized. It is now referred to as SDH ~ince one of its principal characteristics is that it is Streptococc~l Surface Dehy~rogenase.~ ~ore specifical~y, it is a member of the clas of proteins which manife~t glyceraldehyde-3-~
~5 phosphate de~ydrogenase (GAPDH) activity.
G~PDH proteins,~as~the name implies, are a class of dehydrogenase enzymes in~imately involved in ma ~ alian physiological r~actions. Generally, mem~ers of thelclass are~found in the~cytoplas~r but some have been found ~ associated with membranes and cellular cyclosketal : structur~s o~ eukaryotes. Th~ g~ycolytic enzyme of this ::
~: :~ : : :: : :
, WO93/14t98 ~12 7 53 Q PCT/US93/~082 invention is believed to be unigue ln that it is a sur~ace protein of prokaryot~s. No other such G~PDH
prot~in has previously b~en described.
The GAPD~ protein of this invention ha~ some structural characteristics similar to other proteins of the GAPDH family~ For example, over 80% of the NH2-terminal 18 of 39 amino acids are identical to the GAPDH
family of enzymes. ~o~ever, it dif~ers in many other respects, as will be explained hereinafter~ It is, therefore, a novel product which has not hereto~ore been isolat~d and characterized.
A detailed characterization of puri~ied SDH has disclos~d that its native conformation is probably a tetramer wlth a molecular weight of about 156 kDa~ The molecular weight of the protein by mass pectrometric analysis is about 35.~ kDa. By sns PAGE, it is about 3g.2 kDa.
~; :
; The prot~in has been identified on the sur~ace of Group~ A, B, C, E~ G, ~ and L streptococci utiliæing ~o affinity purified anti-SD~ antibodies. The protein :: :
exhibited a dose dependent dehydrogena~e actiYity on glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G-3~P) i n the presence of.
bet~nicotinamide adenine dinucl~otide (N~D). The ~ultifun¢tional~ activi~y of SDH was revealed by its ability to b$nd~fibronec~in::~and lysozyme as well as the ytoskeletal proteins myosin and actin. The binding acti:~ity o SDH~to~myo6in;was found to be localized to t~e globular heavy merom~o~in domain. SDH did not bind to~streptococcal M protein,~tropomyosin: or the coiled~
~coi~l ~omain of myoæin:~ me multiple binding capacity of SDH e pecially in connection with:~ycloskeletal proteins, in~conjunction with its GAPDH~acti~ity indicates a role W093/14198 PCT/US93/OQ~82 in the coloniæation, in~ernalization and the subsequent proliferation of streptococci. Trypsin tr~atment of whole streptococci result~d in a marked reduction in their reactivi~y to SDH antibodi~s. Th2 inability to remove SD~ from the streptococcal surface after washing in 2 M NaCl or 2% SDS indicates that the protein is not p~ripherally associated but tightly bound to the cell.
These data all indicatQ *hat the prok~in i~ a sur~ace G~PDH mol~cule on the streptococcal ¢~
The novel SDH is obtained by solubilizing the selected streptococcus with lysin to produce a mixture containing SDH~ The 5DH may be isolated from the mixture by any of a number of con~enient methods known to the skilled artisan including the method illustrated below.
It may al50 be produced by tranæformin~ an organism such as E. coli with an appropriate gene so that the E.
coli will express SDH.

Mammalian diseases, especially human di~eases caused by streptococcal infection with bacteria ~uch as Streptococcus pyogenes are a ~ignificant health problem.
In the United States alonej 25 to 35 million cases of group A strep~ococcal inf~ctions, which primarily afflict school age children are reported annually (l). The high inciden~e and potential severity of str~ptococcal infections provide impetu~ ~or development of an e~fective and safe vaccine to prevent streptococcal related infec~ions.
It has now been discovered that there is a streptococcal surface dehydrogenase (SDH) protein on the surface of streptococci from several serological groups such as ~roup A type 6 strep~ococci which has both `~ enzymatic activity and a binding capacity for a variety of proteins. In the earlier applications in this series, this ~Ur~aze protein was referred to as MF6, that b~ing the laboratory code designation assigned to it when it was initially isolated, purified and characterized. It is now referred to as SDH ~ince one of its principal characteristics is that it is Streptococc~l Surface Dehy~rogenase.~ ~ore specifical~y, it is a member of the clas of proteins which manife~t glyceraldehyde-3-~
~5 phosphate de~ydrogenase (GAPDH) activity.
G~PDH proteins,~as~the name implies, are a class of dehydrogenase enzymes in~imately involved in ma ~ alian physiological r~actions. Generally, mem~ers of thelclass are~found in the~cytoplas~r but some have been found ~ associated with membranes and cellular cyclosketal : structur~s o~ eukaryotes. Th~ g~ycolytic enzyme of this ::

, WO93/14t98 ~12 7 53 Q PCT/US93/~082 invention is believed to be unigue ln that it is a sur~ace protein of prokaryot~s. No other such G~PDH
prot~in has previously b~en described.
The GAPD~ protein of this invention ha~ some structural characteristics similar to other proteins of the GAPDH family~ For example, over 80% of the NH2-terminal 18 of 39 amino acids are identical to the GAPDH
family of enzymes. ~o~ever, it dif~ers in many other respects, as will be explained hereinafter~ It is, therefore, a novel product which has not hereto~ore been isolat~d and characterized.
A detailed characterization of puri~ied SDH has disclos~d that its native conformation is probably a tetramer wlth a molecular weight of about 156 kDa~ The molecular weight of the protein by mass pectrometric analysis is about 35.~ kDa. By sns PAGE, it is about 3g.2 kDa.

; The prot~in has been identified on the sur~ace of Group~ A, B, C, E~ G, ~ and L streptococci utiliæing ~o affinity purified anti-SD~ antibodies. The protein :: :
exhibited a dose dependent dehydrogena~e actiYity on glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G-3~P) i n the presence of.
bet~nicotinamide adenine dinucl~otide (N~D). The ~ultifun¢tional~ activi~y of SDH was revealed by its ability to b$nd~fibronec~in::~and lysozyme as well as the ytoskeletal proteins myosin and actin. The binding acti:~ity o SDH~to~myo6in;was found to be localized to t~e globular heavy merom~o~in domain. SDH did not bind to~streptococcal M protein,~tropomyosin: or the coiled~
~coi~l ~omain of myoæin:~ me multiple binding capacity of SDH e pecially in connection with:~ycloskeletal proteins, in~conjunction with its GAPDH~acti~ity indicates a role W093/14198 PCT/US93/OQ~82 in the coloniæation, in~ernalization and the subsequent proliferation of streptococci. Trypsin tr~atment of whole streptococci result~d in a marked reduction in their reactivi~y to SDH antibodi~s. Th2 inability to remove SD~ from the streptococcal surface after washing in 2 M NaCl or 2% SDS indicates that the protein is not p~ripherally associated but tightly bound to the cell.
These data all indicatQ *hat the prok~in i~ a sur~ace G~PDH mol~cule on the streptococcal ¢~
The novel SDH is obtained by solubilizing the selected streptococcus with lysin to produce a mixture containing SDH~ The 5DH may be isolated from the mixture by any of a number of con~enient methods known to the skilled artisan including the method illustrated below.
It may al50 be produced by tranæformin~ an organism such as E. coli with an appropriate gene so that the E.
coli will express SDH.

,~O9~/14198 21 ~ 7 5 ~ a PC~/US93t~082 Lysin_extraction and locat on of_SDH protein:
A crude extract containing the major surface proteins was prepared using the procedure of lysin extraction ~o remove the streptococcal cell wall as described before (2). Esæentially, bacteria washed in 50 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.5 were suspended in the same buffer containing 30% ra~finose and 5 NM EDTA.
Lysin is added to the su~;pen~ion (l: loo dil; 360 Urlits and incubated ~or 90 min at 37C with end-to-en~ slow rotation. The resulting pr~toplasts ~edimented at 15,000 X g ~or 30 min in a Sorvall centrifuge. The supernatant was saved, dialyzed again~t 25 mM Tris/HCl, pH 8.5,5mM
EDT~, concetrated on ~micon PM-10 membrane (Amicon Corp) and used for further puri~ication.
lS After lysin extraction, the pelleted prot~plasts were resuspended and lysed in hypotonic buffer (2 MM
sodium ac~tate, pH 5.5, ~ontaining 2 mM P~SF~ 1 MM TLCK, 10 MM MgC12 and 10 ug/ml DNAse~ followed by three fre~ze/thaw cycles. ~he membranes were sedimented at 100,000 x g ~or 45 min at 4C. The me~brane~pellet and cytoplasmic extract in the supernatant were analyzed with~
: Coomassie blue stain~a~ter separation on SDS gel.
Membranes were further treated with 1.5 M sodium ~hloride or 100 mM sodium carbonate, pH 11. 3 to determine lthe natura of associa~ion o~ SDH protein with the membran~.
To determine whether this protein is surf ace exposed, lysin extra~tion:of trypsinized bacteria was rried outias:déscribed earlier~3). Bri fly, washed : bacteria were suspended in 100 mM NH4HC03 and digested : 30 : with trypsin ~250 ug/ml) at 37C ~or 3 hr, after which the trypsin was inactivated by thP addition of soybean trypsin inhibitor (200~ug~ml). Lysin extracts of WO93/14198 ~1 2 PCT/US93/~82 trypsinized and control non-trypsinized bacteria were compared for the loss or reduc~ion in the size of SDR
protein.
Purification of S~H:
Lysin extraction waæ used as the starting material for the purification o~ the SDH. The dialyzed, concentrated, lysin extract wa~ precipi~ated at 60%
saturation o~ ammonium sulfate at 4C. The precipitates were centrifug d at 6,000 X g for 20 min and the ~upernatant was brought to 85% satur~tion o~ ammonium sulfate. The re~ulting precipitate was dialyzed against ~5 mM Tris/HCl bu~fer pH 8.5, 5 mM ~DTA and passed over to Mono Q FPLC column (Pharmacia LKB Biot~chnology Inc.) e~uilibrated wi~h t~e same dialyzing buffer. After`the col~mn was washed with 5 column ~olumes of starting buffer, bound proteins were eluted with a 50 ml linear NaCL gradient from O to 300 mM. Fractions containing 5DH
were pooled and~dialyzed against the 35 ~M Tri~/~Cl/EDTA

Relationship of SDH with GAPDHs of bacterial, animal and human ori i~:
The relationship of SDH with known GAPDHs was determined ~y both Western blot and competitive kin~tic (k) E~ISA using af~inity-p~rified anti-SDH antibodies.
Western blot (Fig. 8, insert) analysis with with SDH-specific antibodies revealed that GAPDH from bacillus, human RBCs, and rabbit muscle reacted weakly or not at all~ This ~indin~ wa~ further confirmed by competitoin ELIS~ ~Fig. 83 showing that only a maximum of 20 25~

' ,_~093/14198 2 1 2 7 ~ ~ ~ PCT/US93/OOOX2 Binding of fibronectin to the SDH prot~in:
The fibronectin binding activity of SDH was determined both by using l25I~labeled fibronectin or fibronectin-an~i-fihronectin on a West~rn blot. The results revealed that the SDH protein wa8 able to bind fibronectin in both assay (Figs. lOb and c).
Based on the result~ of all of the ~boYe, it has b~n determined that SDH i~ a major ~urace pro~ein of str~ptococci, including group A streptococci and has both enzyme activity and multipl~ binding activity. No su h protein has previously been detected, isolated and charact~rized. The novel surface protein is principally characterized by its ability to bind fibronectin, lysozyme a~d cyclo~keletal protein as well as by i~s enzymatic activity a-~ a GAPDH. Its molecular weight is approximately 39 kDa. The first fifteen amino acid r~sidues at the amino te~minal are:
~ Val-Val-Lys-Val-Gly-Ile-Asn-Gly-Arg~ Gly-Arg-Leu : -Ala-Phe Theæe flrst ~i~teen amino acid residues mani~est 100% homolo~ with the bacterial form of GAPDH and 80-9096 . . - ~
~: homology with eukaryo c~or ~ungal GAPDX. 5DH is, : however, significant1y difSer~nt from preYiously recorpt~d GAPDHs, because the high homol~y of the first : 25~: fifteen amino acid residues is no~ pxeserved ~owards the : car~oxy end of the molecule and th~ amino acid omposition varies appr~ciably from other GAPDHs.
SDH also functions as an~ADP-ribosylating enzyme :~ which, in the presence of NAD, is auto-ADP-ribosylated.
~ : 30 It has been found that in a crude lysin extract of group :
W093/14198 PCT/US93/0~2 A streptococci containing a mixture of cell wall associat~d ~olecules, SDH is the only molecule that is ADP-ribo~ylated. Treatment of ~DP-ribosylated SDH with the cytopla~mic fraction of Group A removed the ADP-ribosye of SDH which indicates the pre~ence of SDH
specific ADP-ribosyl hydrolase in the cytoplasmic compartment. Treatment of purified SD~ or the crude lysin extract with sodium nî~roprusside, which spontaneously generate nitric oxide, was found to stimulate the ADP-ribo~ylation of SDH in a time dependent manner. Both ADP-ribosylation and nitric oxide treatment inhibited the ~lycer~ldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity of SDH. In addition to its auto ADP-ribosylation activity, either purified SDH or whole streptococci with surfac~ SDH were able to ADP-ribosylate specifically both chicken and human lysozyme, strong SDH
binding proteins. These data show that SDH has both autoribosylation and ADP-ribosyl trans~era6e acti~ities.
SDH, as will be reco~nized by those skilled in the art, does not represent~a single protien, but rather a class of surface~proteins of streptococci, ~ll of which have simil~ properties.: The protein is involv~d in the ~ coloniæation and probably:in the int~rnalization and : proliferation of:group A~streptococci. One of the : 25 initial steps in~th~ colonization of mucosal tissue by ~; streptococci and ~ubsequent infection by this bacteria, ;: ~ is the binding of the~bacteria to fibxonectln~ Lysozyme : is alæo believed to~ be involved in this binding step.
The enzyme activity of SDH may be involved in the ' I' . i ` I ` ~ ,. .
binding of the bacteria to endothelial cells by reaction o~ an aldehyde reduction product;of teichoic acid which : : :
, ~ 93~1~198 2 1 2 7 ~ ~ ~ PCT/US93/~82 is a polyglycerol phosphate. The aldehyde function could bind the bacteria to the tissue surface by reaction with ~mino group ~n that surfaae.
Inhibition of this initial binding is, therefore, a major fuction in inhibiting ~r preventi~g streptococcal infectionO Accordingly, antibodies to SDH which successfully ~ompete with ~i~ronectin and ly30zyme for binding sites on the bacteria will inhibi~ the colonization of the pharyngeal muaosa by group A
tréptoGocci. Therefor~ the SDH and amino acid segments o~ the protein containing the appr~priate antigenlc determlnanks, for example those containing from about 6 to about 20 amino acid residues, are useful to inhibit streptococcal infection o~ ~a~mals, including humans, by administering an amount of the selected product which will be effectiv~ to inhibît fibronectin binding and thereby inhibit colonization of~the pharyngeal mucosa.

~_W0 93/14198 2 ~ i 5 a PCr/U~3/00082 treated streptococci were markedly reduced in their reactivity to anti-S~H IgG; (Fig~ 5~. To determine if the SDH protein is peripherally bound to the cell wall or tightly bound, the streptococGal cellæ w~re washed wi1:h 2M NaCl and 2% SDS. The results revealed that the SDH
was not extractable by the high s~lt or ionic detergent.
_urface En~e activi~ of streptococci:
To d¢termille if the G~PDH enzymati~ activity f ound with the puri~ied SD~ protein was also present on the stxepto~:os:cal surface, enzymatic studies were carried out using wh~le streptococci. The same concenkration of substrates (G 3-P and NAD) used with the purif ied SDH
were us~d with whole streptococci.
Data presQnted în FigO 6 revealed a dose dependent GAPI~H ac:ti~rity catalyzed by the whole organi~3m~:. As found with the purified SDH, the intact b~c~eria also did not catalyze the reaction in absene:e of th~ specif ic substrates Go3-P and ~AD (Fig. 6a). The enzymatic activi~:~ on the whole org~ ;ms was also f ound to be partially: (30%) but specifically inhibitable by anti-SDH
IgG (~ig. 6c). ~ Enzymatic activity was ~ound to be d~cEea ed by B0% when trypsinized bac:teria were used in the reaation mixture (Fig. 6b). The background 20%

The ubi~itous nature of the SDH protein in different ~;treptococs::al M serotypes was determined by Western blot analysis of lysin extrac~s using affinity puri~ied anti-SDH: IgG. As ~hown in Fig~ 7, SDH pro~ein ~ ' -.
W093/14198 P~T/US93/0~82 was found in several ~erotypes. Furthermore, all were found to be of same molecular weight without any indication of ~ize variati~n.
Relationship of SDH with GAPDHs of bacterial, animal and human ori i~:
The relationship of SDH with known GAPDHs was determined ~y both Western blot and competitive kin~tic (k) E~ISA using af~inity-p~rified anti-SDH antibodies.
Western blot (Fig. 8, insert) analysis with with SDH-specific antibodies revealed that GAPDH from bacillus, human RBCs, and rabbit muscle reacted weakly or not at all~ This ~indin~ wa~ further confirmed by competitoin ELIS~ ~Fig. 83 showing that only a maximum of 20 25~
inhibition of binding of anti-SDH antibodiee to SHD,could be achieved with 100 molar exce~s of these proteins~ with the rabbit muscle~ GAPDH exhibiting the least actiYity.
The fact that almost 20% inhibition is o~served wikh 20 times mola~ excess~of bacillus and h~man GAPDH may reflect the 3e~uence homology ob~erved at the Nff2 termini ~:20 ~ ~ of these mole~les~(Fig. 2jO : r ~: Bindi~nq ~ro~rt~_o~ SDH with lysoz ~ e and cytoskel~tal , roteins: ~ . ;: : : :

' ,_~093/14198 2 1 2 7 ~ ~ ~ PCT/US93/OOOX2 Binding of fibronectin to the SDH prot~in:
The fibronectin binding activity of SDH was determined both by using l25I~labeled fibronectin or fibronectin-an~i-fihronectin on a West~rn blot. The results revealed that the SDH protein wa8 able to bind fibronectin in both assay (Figs. lOb and c).
Based on the result~ of all of the ~boYe, it has b~n determined that SDH i~ a major ~urace pro~ein of str~ptococci, including group A streptococci and has both enzyme activity and multipl~ binding activity. No su h protein has previously been detected, isolated and charact~rized. The novel surface protein is principally characterized by its ability to bind fibronectin, lysozyme a~d cyclo~keletal protein as well as by i~s enzymatic activity a-~ a GAPDH. Its molecular weight is approximately 39 kDa. The first fifteen amino acid r~sidues at the amino te~minal are:
~ Val-Val-Lys-Val-Gly-Ile-Asn-Gly-Arg~ Gly-Arg-Leu : -Ala-Phe Theæe flrst ~i~teen amino acid residues mani~est 100% homolo~ with the bacterial form of GAPDH and 80-9096 . . - ~
~: homology with eukaryo c~or ~ungal GAPDX. 5DH is, : however, significant1y difSer~nt from preYiously recorpt~d GAPDHs, because the high homol~y of the first : 25~: fifteen amino acid residues is no~ pxeserved ~owards the : car~oxy end of the molecule and th~ amino acid omposition varies appr~ciably from other GAPDHs.
SDH also functions as an~ADP-ribosylating enzyme :~ which, in the presence of NAD, is auto-ADP-ribosylated.
~ : 30 It has been found that in a crude lysin extract of group :
W093/14198 PCT/US93/0~2 A streptococci containing a mixture of cell wall associat~d ~olecules, SDH is the only molecule that is ADP-ribo~ylated. Treatment of ~DP-ribosylated SDH with the cytopla~mic fraction of Group A removed the ADP-ribosye of SDH which indicates the pre~ence of SDH
specific ADP-ribosyl hydrolase in the cytoplasmic compartment. Treatment of purified SD~ or the crude lysin extract with sodium nî~roprusside, which spontaneously generate nitric oxide, was found to stimulate the ADP-ribo~ylation of SDH in a time dependent manner. Both ADP-ribosylation and nitric oxide treatment inhibited the ~lycer~ldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity of SDH. In addition to its auto ADP-ribosylation activity, either purified SDH or whole streptococci with surfac~ SDH were able to ADP-ribosylate specifically both chicken and human lysozyme, strong SDH
binding proteins. These data show that SDH has both autoribosylation and ADP-ribosyl trans~era6e acti~ities.
SDH, as will be reco~nized by those skilled in the art, does not represent~a single protien, but rather a class of surface~proteins of streptococci, ~ll of which have simil~ properties.: The protein is involv~d in the ~ coloniæation and probably:in the int~rnalization and : proliferation of:group A~streptococci. One of the : 25 initial steps in~th~ colonization of mucosal tissue by ~; streptococci and ~ubsequent infection by this bacteria, ;: ~ is the binding of the~bacteria to fibxonectln~ Lysozyme : is alæo believed to~ be involved in this binding step.
The enzyme activity of SDH may be involved in the ' I' . i ` I ` ~ ,. .
binding of the bacteria to endothelial cells by reaction o~ an aldehyde reduction product;of teichoic acid which : : :
, ~ 93~1~198 2 1 2 7 ~ ~ ~ PCT/US93/~82 is a polyglycerol phosphate. The aldehyde function could bind the bacteria to the tissue surface by reaction with ~mino group ~n that surfaae.
Inhibition of this initial binding is, therefore, a major fuction in inhibiting ~r preventi~g streptococcal infectionO Accordingly, antibodies to SDH which successfully ~ompete with ~i~ronectin and ly30zyme for binding sites on the bacteria will inhibi~ the colonization of the pharyngeal muaosa by group A
tréptoGocci. Therefor~ the SDH and amino acid segments o~ the protein containing the appr~priate antigenlc determlnanks, for example those containing from about 6 to about 20 amino acid residues, are useful to inhibit streptococcal infection o~ ~a~mals, including humans, by administering an amount of the selected product which will be effectiv~ to inhibît fibronectin binding and thereby inhibit colonization of~the pharyngeal mucosa.
