Definitions

• the present invention relates to fusion polypeptides where two individual polypeptides or parts thereof are fused to form a single amino acid chain. Such fusion may arise from the expression of a single continuous coding sequence formed by recombinant DNA techniques.
• Fusion polypeptides are known, for example those where a polypeptide which is the ultimately desired product of the process is expressed with an N-terminal "leader sequence" which encourages or allows secretion of the polypeptide from the cell.
• leader sequence An example is disclosed in EP-A-116 201 (Chiron) .
• HSA Human serum albumin
• EP-A-147 198 discloses its expression in a transformed host, in this case yeast.
• EP-A-322 094 discloses N-terminal fragments of HSA, namely those consisting of residues 1-n where n is 369 to 419, which have therapeutic utility.
• the application also mentions the possibility of fusing the C-terminal residue of such molecules to other, unnamed, polypeptides.
• One aspect of the present invention provides a fusion polypeptide comprising, as at least part of the N-terminal portion thereof, an N-terminal portion of HSA or a variant thereof and, as at least part of the C-terminal portion thereof, another polypeptide except that, when the said N- terminal portion of HSA is the 1-n portion where n is 369 to 419 or a variant thereof then the said polypeptide is (a) the 585 to 1578 portion of human fibronectin or a variant thereof, (b) the 1 to 368 portion of CD4 or a variant thereof, (c) platelet derived growth factor, or a variant thereof, (d) transforming growth factor, or a variant thereof, (e) the 1-261 portion of mature human plasma fibronectin or a variant thereof, (f) the 278-578 portion of mature human plasma fibronectin or a variant thereof, (g) the 1-272 portion of mature human von illebrand's Factor or a variant thereof, or (h) alpha-1-antitryp

• HSA human serum albumin
• variants are intended to include (but not necessarily to be restricted to) minor artificial variations in sequence (such as molecules lacking one or a few residues, having conservative substitutions or minor insertions of residues, or having minor variations of amino acid structure).
• polypeptides which have 80%, preferably 85%, 90%, 95% or 99%, homology with HSA are deemed to be "variants”.
• variants are physiologically equivalent to HSA; that is to say, variants preferably share at least one pharmacological utility with HSA.
• any putative variant which is to be used pharmacologically should be non-immunogenic in the animal (especially human) being treated.
• Conservative substitutions are those where one or more amino acids are substituted for others having similar properties such that one skilled in the art of polypeptide chemistry would expect at least the secondary structure, and preferably the tertiary structure, of the polypeptide to be substantially unchanged.
• typical such substitutions include asparagine for glutamine, serine for asparagine and arginine for lysine.
• Variants may alternatively, or as well, lack up to ten (preferably only one or two) intermediate amino acid residues (ie not at the termini of the said N-terminal portion of HSA) in comparison with the corresponding portion of natural HSA; preferably any such omissions occur in the 100 to 369 portion of the molecule (relative to mature HSA itself) (if present).
• amino acids may be added, again in the 100 to 369 portion for preference (if present).
• physiologically functional equivalents also encompasses larger molecules comprising the said sequence plus a further sequence at the N-terminal (for example, pro-HSA, pre-pro-HSA and met-HSA) .
• the said "another polypeptide" in the fusion compounds of the invention cannot be the remaining portion of HSA, since otherwise the -whole polypeptide would be HSA, which would not then be a "fusion polypeptide”.
• the non-HSA portion is one of the said (a) to (h) entities.
• the 1 to 368 portion of CD4 represents the first four disulphide-linked immunoglobulin-like domains of the human T lymphocyte CD4 protein, the gene for and amino acid sequence of which are disclosed in D. Smith et al (1987) Science 328, 1704-1707. It is used to combat HIV infections.
• PDGF platelet-derived growth factor
• TGF- ⁇ transforming growth factors ⁇
• a cDNA sequence for the 1-261 portion of Fn was disclosed in EP-A-207 751 (obtained from plasmid pFH6 with endonuclease PvuII). This portion binds fibrin and can be used to direct fused compounds to blood clots.
• Variants of alpha-1-antitrypsin include those disclosed by Rosenburg et al (1984) Nature 312, 77-80.
• the present invention includes the Pittsburgh variant (Met ⁇ 5 ⁇ is mutated to Arg) and the variant where ro- ⁇ 57 and are mutated to alanine and arginine respectively. These compounds are useful in the treatment of septic shock and lung disorders.
• Variants of the non-HSA portion of the polypeptides of the invention include variations as discussed above in relation to the HSA portion, including those with conservative amino acid substitutions, and also homologues from other species.
• the fusion polypeptides of the invention may have N- ter inal amino acids which extend beyond the portion corresponding to the N-terminal portion of HSA.
• pre-, pro-, or pre- pro sequences may be added thereto, for example the yeast alpha-factor leader sequence.
• the fused leader portions of WO 90/01063 may be used.
• the polypeptide which is fused to the HSA portion may be a naturally-occurring polypeptide, a fragment thereof or a novel polypeptide, including a fusion polypeptide.
• a fragment of fibronectin is fused to the HSA portion via a 4 amino acid linker.
• the amino terminal portion of the HSA molecule is so structured as to favour particularly efficient translocation and export of the fusion compounds of the invention in eukaryotic cells.
• a second aspect of the invention provides a • transformed host having a nucleotide sequence so arranged as to express a fusion polypeptide as described above.
• “so arranged” we mean, for example, that the nucleotide sequence is in correct reading frame with an appropriate RNA polymerase binding site and translation start sequence and is under the control of a suitable promoter.
• the promoter may be homologous with or heterologous to the host.
• Downstream (3') regulatory sequences may be included if desired, as is known.
• the host is preferably yeast (for example Saccharomyces spp. , e.g. S. cerevisiae; Kluyveromyces spp., e.g. K.
• lactis Pichia spp.; or Schizosaccharomyces spp., e.g. S. pombe
• suitable host such as E. coli, B. subtilis, Asperqillus spp., mammalian cells, plant cells or insect cells.
• a third aspect of the invention provides a process for preparing a fusion polypeptide according to the first aspect of the invention by cultivation of a transformed host according to the second aspect of the invention, followed by separation of the fusion polypeptide in a useful form.
• a fourth aspect of the invention provides therapeutic methods of treatment of the human or other animal body comprising administration of such a fusion polypeptide.
• the fusion polypeptides of the present invention wherein the C-terminal portion is Fn 585-1578 can be used for wound healing applications as biosynthesised, especially where the hybrid human protein will be topically applied.
• the portion representing amino acids 585 to 1578 of human fibronectin can if desired be recovered from the fusion protein by preceding the first amino acid of the fibronectin portion by amino acids comprising a factor X cleavage site. After isolation of the fusion protein from culture supernatant, the desired molecule is released by factor X cleavage and purified by suitable chromatography (e.g. ion-exchange chromatography) .
• suitable chromatography e.g. ion-exchange chromatography
• Other sites providing for enzymatic or chemical cleavage can be provided, either by appropriate juxtaposition of the N-terminal and C-terminal portions or by the insertion therebetween of an appropriate linker.
• At least some of the fusion polypeptides of the invention also have an increased half-life in the blood and therefore have advantages and therapeutic utilities themselves, namely the therapeutic utility of the non-HSA portion of the molecule.
• the compound will normally be administered as a one-off dose or only a few doses over a short period, rather than over a long period, and therefore the compounds are less likely to cause an immune response.
• DNA sequences encoding portions of human serum albumin used in the construction of the following molecules are derived from the plas ids mH0B12 and pDBD2 (EP-A-322 094, Delta Biotechnology Ltd, relevant portions of which are reproduced below) or by synthesis of oligonucleotides equivalent to parts of this sequence.
