Definitions
- the invention relates to an agent and a method for the treatment and prevention of TSE and a method for producing the agent.
- Prions have been identified as the main pathogen. Prions mainly consist of prion protein (PrP) in a pathogenic conformation (PrP Sc ). The healthy organism also produces prion protein, but in a non-pathogenic, harmless conformation (PrP c ). PrP c and PrP Sc have the same amino acid sequence, but show a significant difference in the secondary structure. PrP c contains a relatively high ⁇ -helical component and almost no ⁇ -sheet elements.
- PrP Sc has a secondary structure that is different from PrP c , with a higher proportion of ß-leaflets and a lower proportion of o! Accordingly, PrP c and PrP Sc are structural isomers. In addition, unlike PrP, PrP is resistant to Protemase K digestion. PrP Sc seems to be formed post-translationally from PrP c . The emergence and development of the disease depend on the continued transformation development of PrP c in PrP Sc . The factors responsible for converting PrP c to PrP Sc are not all known yet.
- the PrP Sc formation can be slowed down and even inhibited if certain peptides are supplied to prion-infected cells. It is assumed here that the peptides according to the invention attach to the PrP c and thus prevent the conversion of naturally occurring PrP c into the pathogenic PrP Sc . According to the invention, various peptides with partially characteristic amino acid sub-sequence blocks were identified which result in a relief of the symptoms or even a cure of the disease TSE. Exemplary peptides are given in sequences 1 to 27. The following sequences were identified as peptides which can be used according to the invention and can be read in the direction of amino to carboxyl terminus, one of which Component or a mixture of at least two components can be used for treatment:
- G at least two components from at least one of groups A) to F);
- Sequences 1-27 of the sequence listing which comprise or contain all 12 amino acids with positions 1-12. These sequences can have any length, preferably a length of 6-40, particularly preferably 8-30, 10-20 or even more preferably 10-12 amino acids. In some specific embodiments, the following sequences may be present, which are preferably 12 amino acids long.
- amino acid sequences which contain the amino acids Leu, Lys, Ala, and Thr in positions 1, 2, 3 and 4;
- K amino acid sequences which contain a combination of features I) and J); L) amino acid sequences which have the amino acids Gin, Trp and Thr in positions 4, 5 and 6;
- N amino acid sequences which have the amino acids Thr and Tyr in positions 11 and 12;
- Sequence sections I) -R) can be contained in sequences which, for example, have a length of 6-40, preferably 8-30, 30-20 and particularly preferably 10-12 amino acids.
- FIG. 1 shows the amino acid sequences (in the one-letter code) of the four active peptides which were identified in the phage display screening:
- VDMINDVQPLTP Seq.Nr.2
- VYSSTTRPLPSP Seq.Nr.10
- the peptides according to the invention which bring about a healing of TSE or a relief can be produced by known processes.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET Synthesis in liquid medium can be used.

- the invention therefore also relates to the nucleic acids which code for the peptides according to the amino acid sequences A) -R), including all allelic variations and the nucleotide sequences of the sequence sequences 1-27 including all allelic variations.
- all mammals including humans can be treated or cured and the peptides can also be used for prevention. Treatment of humans is particularly preferred, but cattle and sheep can also be treated.
- the peptides according to the invention accumulate the PrP c of all mammals so that the effect according to the invention can take place. The effect according to the invention also takes place when at least two of the peptides mentioned bind to the PrP c .

- Phage display is a technique that makes it possible to construct peptide libraries with randomized amino acid sequences and to search them for ligands for a specific target molecule.
- the peptide library is presented as a fusion of peptide and a phage coat protein on the surface of bacteriophages ("phage display").
- the diversity of the peptides presented is achieved by inserting a combinatorially mutated DNA as a peptide-coding part of the fusion gene. An extremely large number of phages are generated in this way, each phage presenting a different peptide.
- biopanning The construction, propagation and selection is referred to as "biopanning”.
- the library comes with an immobilized target 14
- the enriched population of phages that present a peptide interacting with the target molecule are amplified by infecting them with bacteria.
- the screening amplification procedure can be repeated several times to further enrich the library members who have a relatively higher affinity for the target molecule. The result is a peptide population that is dominated by the amino acid sequences that bind best to the target molecule.
- a commercial phage library with 12 randomized amino acids (New England Biolabs, Frankfurt) was used.
- the grp3 gene coding for the phage coat protein is inserted at the N-terminal according to the signal sequence. This consists of 1.9 x 10 9 independent clones and is amplified and concentrated in such a way that on average 10 ⁇ l each sequence is present in 55 copies.
- recombinantly produced hamster prion protein in a concentration between 0.01 ⁇ g / ml and 0.1 ⁇ g / ml in PBS with 0.2% SDS, pH 7.2 using the "Protein Immobilizer Kit” (Exiqon) immobilized in a microtiter plate well.
- 100 ⁇ l protein solution were incubated for 2 hours with gentle shaking. After removing the solution, it was washed 3 times with 200 ⁇ l PBS.
- 10 ⁇ l phages from the commercial phage library were incubated in 100 ⁇ l PBST with 0.1% BSA for 10 minutes with gentle shaking in an rPrP-coated microtiter plate well. The unbound phages were discarded and then washed 10 times with 300 ⁇ l PBST. Elution was carried out with 100 ⁇ l of 0.2 M glycine-HCl, pH 2.2 for 10 minutes with gentle shaking. The eluate was neutralized in 15 ⁇ l Tris-HCl, pH 9.1.
- the eluate was placed in 20 ml of E. coli culture and incubated for 4.5 hours at 37 ° C. and 200 rpm. The culture was then centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant was transferred and 1/6 volume of PEG / NaCl was added. The mixture was then precipitated at 4 ° C. overnight. The mixture was then centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 20 minutes, the supernatant was discarded and the pellet was resuspended in 1 ml of PBS. The mixture was then centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 minutes. The supernatant was transferred and 1/6 volume of PEG / NaCl was added. The mixture was precipitated on ice for 1 hour.
- Prion infected cells are cultured for a week and then examined for the formation of PrP Sc .
- This works by lysing the cells and treating them with 20 ⁇ g / ml Proteinase K (PK).
- PK Proteinase K
- the PK-treated cell lysate is subjected to denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and blotted onto a membrane and then stained with a PrP-specific antibody ("Western blot").
- Figure 1 shows the band pattern of the PK-treated cell lysate.
- the peptides W1, W2, W3 and W4 correspond to the sequences 8,2,10 and 1 according to the sequence listing. This creates a typical band pattern (see track 1 in the figure below).
