Description
POLINUCLEOTIDO (S) BASB029 AND POLIPÉPTIDQS OF NEISSBRIA MENINGITIDIS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to polynucleotides (hereinafter referred to as "BASB029 polynucleotide (s)"), polypeptides encoded thereby (hereinafter referred to as "BASB029" or "BASB029"), recombinant materials and methods for its production In another aspect, the invention relates to methods for using said polypeptides and polynucleotides, including vaccines against bacterial infections In a further aspect, the invention relates to diagnostic assays for detecting infections of certain pathogens.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) is a gram-negative bacteria frequently isolated from the human upper respiratory tract. Sometimes it causes invasive bacterial diseases such as bacteremia and meningitis. The incidence of meningococcal disease shows seasonal and annual geographical differences (Schwartz, B., Moore, P.S., Broome, C.V., Microbial Clin.Rev.2 (Supplement), S18-S24, 1989). Most diseases in temperate countries are due to strains of serogroup B
and varies in incidence from 1-10 / 100,000 / total annual population, sometimes reaching higher levels (Kaczmarski, EB (1997), Commu Dis Rep Rev 7 R55-9, 1995, Scholten, RJPM, Bijlmer, HA, Poolman, JT et al., Clin Infect Dis 16 237-246, 1993, Cruz, C Pavez, G Aguilar, E et al., Epodemiol Infect 105 119-126, 1990) Epidemics dominated by serogroup A meningococcus, most of Central Africa, are found, sometimes reaching levels up to 1000/100 000 / year (Schwartz, B, Moore, PS, Broome, CV Clin Microbiol Rev 2 (supplement), S18-S24, 1989) Almost all cases as a All meningococcal disease is caused by the meningococcus of serogroup A, B, C, W-135 and Y, and a tetravalent polysaccharide vaccine A, C, W-135, Y (Armand, J Arminjon, F, Mynard , MC Lafaix, C, J Biol Stand 10 335-339, 1982) Pohsaccase vaccines have now been improved by chemically conjugating them to carrier proteins (Lieberman, J M, Chiu, S S, Wong, V K and others, JAMA 275, 1499-1503, 1996)
A serogroup B vaccine is not available, since it was found that capsular polysaccharide B is non-immunogenic, most likely because it shares a structural similarity with host component (Wyle, FA, Artenstein, MS, Brandt, ML and others, J Infect Dis 126 514-522, 1972, Finne, JM, Lemonen, M, Makela, PM Lancet n 355-357, 1983) For many years the development has been initiated and carried out
of meningococcal external membrane-based vaccines (de oraes, JC, Perkins, B, Camargo, MC and others Lancet 340 1074-1078, 1992, Bjune, G, Hoiby, EA Gronnesby, JK et al., 338 1093-1096, 1991) These vaccines have shown efficacies of 57% -85% in older children (&g); adolescents Many components of bacterial outer membrane are present in these vaccines, such as PorA, PorB, Rmp, Opc, Opa, FrpB and the contribution of these components to the observed protection still need additional definition Other bacterial outer membrane components have been defined using animal or human antibodies that are potentially relevant to the induction of protective immunity, such as TpbB and NspA (Martin, D, Cadieux, N , Hamel, J, Brodeux, BR, J Exp Med 185 1173-1183, 1997, Lissolo, L, Maitre-Wilmotte, C, Dumas, and others, Inf Immun 63 884-890, 1995) Protective immunity mechanisms will involve activity antibody-mediated bacterial and opsonophagocytosis An animal model with bacteremia has been used to combine all antibody mediated mechanisms (Saukkonen, K, Leinonen, M, Abdillahí, H Poolman, JT Vaccine 7 325-328 1989) It is generally accepted that the last mediated bacterial mechanism for the complement component is crucial for immunity against meningococcal disease (Ross, SC, Rosenthal PJ, Bebepc HM, Densen, PJ Infect Dis 155 1266-1275, 1987) The frequency of infections by Neissepa meningitidis has been
elevated dramatically in recent decades This has been attributed to the emergence of multiple strains resistant to antibiotics and an increasing population of people with weak immune systems It is no longer uncommon to isolate Neissepa mentngitidis strains that are resistant to some or all of the standard antibiotics This phenomenon has created an unmet medical need and demands for new antimicrobial agents, vaccines, drug classification methods and diagnostic tests for this organism

BASB029 from Neisseria meningitidis, which is related by the amino acid sequence homology to the surface fibril protein of Haemophilus influenzae (HSF). The invention especially relates to BASB029 having the nucleotide and amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, 3 and SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, respectively. It is understood that the sequences established in the

The BASB029 polypeptides provided in SEQ ID NO: 2.4 are the BASB029 polypeptides of the Neissepa meningitidis, ATCC13090 and H44 / 76 strains. The invention also provides an immunogenic fragment of a BASB0 polypeptide 9, ie a contiguous portion of a
or BASB029 peptide having the same immunogenic activity or substantially the same immunogenic activity as the polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO.
# NO 2 A That is, the fragment (if necessary when it is coupled to a carrier) is able to evoke an immune response which recognizes the BASB029 polypeptide. Such immunogenic fragment can include for example the BASB029 polypeptide lacking a N-leader sequence. terminal and / or a transmembrane domain and / or a C-terminal anchor domain In a preferred aspect the
The immunogenic fragment of BASB029 according to the invention comprises substantially all the extracellular domain of a polypeptide which has at least 85% identity, preferably at least 90% identity, preferably at least 95% identity, most preferably at least 97-99 of
identity to that of SEQ ID NO 2 A over the entire length of SEQ ID NO 2 A fragment is a polypeptide having a sequence of
• amino acid that is completely the same as part but not the entire amino acid sequence of any polypeptide of the invention
As with the BASB029 pohpeptides the fragments can be "freestanding" or be comprised within a larger polypeptide of which they form a part or region most preferably as a single continuous region in a single larger polypeptide. Preferred fragments include for example polypeptides
of truncation having a portion of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, variants thereof, such as a continuous sequence of residues including an amino- and / or carboxyl-terminal amino acid sequence. Also preferred are 5 forms of degradation of the polypeptides of the invention produced by or in a host cell. Others preferred are fragments characterized by structural or functional attributes, such as fragments comprising alpha helix and alpha helix forming regions, beta lamina and forming regions.
Beta sheet, twist and spin forming regions, helical and helical forming regions, hydrophilic regions, hydrophobic regions, antipatic regions, antipathetic beta regions, flexible regions, surface forming regions, substrate binding region, and regions with high antigenic index. Other preferred fragments include an isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of at least 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 100 continuous amino acids of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, or an isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 or
100 truncated or deleted continuous amino acids of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, A. Fragments of the polypeptides of the invention can be employed to produce the corresponding full-length polypeptide via peptide synthesis; therefore, these
fragments can be used as intermediaries to produce
the full-length polypeptides of the invention. Particularly preferred are variants in which several 5-10, 1-5, 1-3, 1-2, or one amino acid are substituted, deleted, or aggregated in any combination. The polypeptides, or immunogenic fragments, of the invention may be in the form of the "mature" protein or may be a part of a larger protein such as a precursor or a fusion protein. It is generally advantageous to include an additional amino acid sequence containing secretion or leader sequences, pro-sequences, purification-assisting sequences such as multiple residues of histidine, or an additional sequence for stability during recombinant production. In addition, the addition of the exogenous polypeptide or lipid tail or polynucleotide sequences to increase the immunogenic potential of the final molecule is also considered. In one aspect, the invention relates to genetically engineered soluble fusion proteins comprising a polypeptide of the present invention, or a fragment thereof, and several portions of the constant regions of heavy or light chains of immunoglobulins of several subclasses (IgG, IgM , IgA, I g E). Preferred as an immunoglobulin is the constant part of the heavy chain of human IgG, particularly I gG 1, wherein the fusion occurs in the hinge region. In a particular embodiment, the Fc part can be removed simply through the incorporation of a cleavage sequence, which can be
separated with the coagulation factor Xa. Furthermore, this invention relates to processes for the preparation of these fusion proteins through genetic engineering, and to their use for drug classification, diagnosis and therapy. A further aspect of the invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding said fusion proteins. Examples of the fusion protein technology can be found in International patent applications Nos. W094 / 29 58 and W094 / 22914. 10 Proteins can be chemically conjugated, or

expression. Fusion patterns include protein D of Haemophilus influenzae and the non-structural protein of influenza virus, NS1 (hemagglutinin). Another fusion pattern is the protein known as LytA. Preferably, the C-terminal portion of the molecule is
used. LytA is derived from Streptococcus pneumoniae which
synthesizes an N-acetyl-L-alanine amidase LytA, (encoded by the LytA gene. {Gene, 43 (1986) p 265-272.}.) an autolysin that specifically degrades certain bonds in the base structure of the peptidoglycan. The C-terminal domain of the LytA protein is responsible for affinity to choline or to some choline analogues such as DEAE. This property has been exploited for the development of E. coli C-LytA expression plasmids useful for the expression of fusion proteins. The purification of hybrid proteins containing the C-LytA fragment at its amino terminus has been described. { Biotechnology: 10, (1992) p. 795-798} . It is possible to use the repeat portion of the LytA molecule found at the C-terminal end starting at residue 178, eg, residues 188-305. The present invention also includes variants of the aforementioned polypeptides, ie polypeptides that vary from the reporter by conservative amino acid substitutions, whereby one residue is replaced by another with similar characteristics. The typical aspect of said substitutions is between Ala, Val, Leu and lie; between Ser and Thr; between the acid residues Asp and Glu; between Asn and Gln; and between the basic waste Lys and Arg; or the aromatic residues Phe and Tyr. The polypeptides of the present invention can be prepared in any suitable form. Such polypeptides include isolated natural polypeptides; recombinantly produced polypeptides, synthetically polypeptides
produced, or polypeptides produced through a combination of these methods. The means for preparing said polypeptides are also very well understood in the art. It is highly preferred that a polypeptide of the invention is derived from Neissena meningitidis, however, it is preferred that this is obtained from other organisms of the same taxonomic genus A polypeptide of the invention can also be obtained from, for example, organisms of the same family or taxonomic order
Polynucleotides It is an object of the invention to provide polynucleotides that encode BASB029 peptides, particularly polynucleotides that encode the polypeptide designated herein as BASB029. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the polynucleotide comprises a region encoding peptides.

In another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention there is a BASB029 polypeptide from Neissena menmgitidis which comprises or consists of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO 2, A, or a variant thereof Using the information provided herein, such as an established polynucleotide sequence in SEQ ID NO 1, 3, a polynucleotide of the invention encoding the BASB029 polypeptide can be obtained using standard cloning and classification methods, such as those for cloning and sequencing chromosomal DNA fragments from bacteria using Neissena meningitidis cells as starting material, followed by obtaining a full-length clone. For example, to obtain a polynucleotide sequence of the invention, such as a polynucleotide sequence given in SEQ ID NO: 1, 3, typically a collection of chromosomal DNA clones. of Neissepa meningitidis in E coli or
some other suitable host is given a probe with a radiolabeled oligonucleotide, preferably one of 17-mer or greater, derived from a partial sequence. Clones carrying DNA identical to that of the probe can then be distinguished using severe hybridization conditions. Through the sequencing of the individual clones thus identified by hybridization with designed sequencing primers of the original polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence, it is then possible to extend the polynucleotide sequence in both directions to determine a full-length sequence. Conveniently, said sequencing is performed, for example, using denatured double stranded structure DNA prepared from a plasmid clone. Suitable techniques are described by Maniatis, T., Fritsch, E. F., and Sambrook et al., MOLECULAR CLONING, A LABORATORY MANUAL, 2nd. Ed .; Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. Cold Spring Harbor, New York (1989). (See in particular classification by hybridization 1.90 and double-stranded structure DNA templates denatured sequencing 13.70). Direct genomic DNA sequencing can also be performed to obtain a full-length gene sequence. Illustrative of the invention, each polynucleotide set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, 3, 5 or 7 was discovered in a DNA library derived from Neisseria menongitidis. In addition, each DNA sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO 1, 3 contains an open reading frame that encodes a protein that
it has approximately the number of amino acid residues set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, 4 with a deduced molecular weight that can be calculated using molecular weight values of amino acid residue well known to those skilled in the art. The polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1, between the start codon at nucleotide number 1 and the stop codon starting at number 1783 of the nucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1, encodes the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2. The polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 3, between the start codon at the nucleotide number 1 and the stop codon starting at number 1774 of the nucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 3, encodes the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 4. In a further aspect, the present invention provides an isolated polynucleotide comprising or consisting of. (a) a polynucleotide sequence having at least 85% identity, preferably at least 90% identity, preferably at least 95% identity, still most preferably at least 97-99% or exact identity to SEC ID NO: 1, 3 over the entire length of SEQ ID NO: 1, 3, respectively; or (b) a polynucleotide sequence that encodes a polypeptide having at least 85% identity, preferably at least 90% identity, preferably at least 95% identity, most preferably at least 97-99% or 100% or exact, to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, A, over the entire length of SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, respectively.

Particularly preferred probes will have at least 20 nucleotide residues or base pairs and will have less than 30 nucleotide residues or base pairs. A coding region of a BASB029 gene can be isolated by classifying a DNA sequence provided in SEQ ID NO: 1, 3 to synthesize an oligonucleotide probe. A labeled oligonucleotide having a sequence complementary to that of a gene of the invention is then used to classify a collection of cDNA, genomic DNA or mRNA to determine which members of the library hybridize the probe. There are vain methods available and well known for
those skilled in the art to obtain full length DNAs, or short extension DNAs, for example, those based on the fast amplification method of cDNA ends (RACE), (see, for example, Forman et al., PNAS USA 85 8998-9002) Recent modifications of the technique, illustrated by the Marathon ™ technology (Clontech Laboratories Inc) for example, have significantly simplified the search for longer cDNAs. In the Marathon ™ technology, cDNAs from the mRNA extracted from A selected tissue and an "adapter" sequence ligated on each end After nucleic acid amplification (PCR) was performed to amplify the missing 5 'end of the DNA using a combination of oligonucleotide primers specific in the gene and specific in the adapter The PCR reaction is then repeated using primers (nested), that is, primers designed to warm and cool rapidly inside the the amplified product (typically a specific adapter initiator that channels and cools rapidly to the 3 'end in the adapter sequence and a gene-specific primer that rapidly heats and cools to the 5' end in the selected gene sequence) The products of this reaction then can be analyzed through DNA sequencing and a full-length DNA constructed either by joining the product directly to the existing DNA to give a complete sequence, or by performing a separate full-length PCR using the new sequence information for the initiator design 5'

The invention also provides polynucleotides that encode a polypeptide that is the mature protein plus additional amino-or carboxyl-terminal amino acids, or amino acids internal to the mature peptide (when the mature form has more than one polypeptide chain, for example) Such sequences may play an important role in the processing of a protein from a precursor to a mature form, can allow the transport of protein, can lengthen or reduce the half-life of the protein or can facilitate the manipulation of a protein for testing or production , among other things As is generally the case in vivo, additional amino acids can be processed from the mature protein through cellular enzymes

^^ complementary to each polynucleotide with which they are
Complementary A precursor protein, having a mature form of the pohpeptide fused to one or more prosequences may be an inactive form of the polypeptide. When prosequences are removed, said inactive precursors are generally activated. Some of the prosequences can be removed before activation. In general, said precursors are called proproteins. In addition to the standard A, G, C, T / U representations for nucleotides. , the term "N" can also be used to
Discovering certain polynucleotides of the invention "N" means that any of the four nucleotides of DNA or RNA may appear at said designated position in the DNA or RNA sequence, except ß if it is preferred that N is not a nucleic acid that when takes in combination with adjacent nucleotide positions, when it is read

Perfect or significantly matching sequences can be distinguished from imperfect duplexes or more significantly mismatches through digestion of DNase or RNase, for DNA or RNA respectively, or detecting differences in melting temperatures or renaturation kinetics. Polynucleotide sequence differences can also be detected through alterations in the electrophoretic mobility of polynucleotide fragment in gels as compared to a reference sequence This can be done with or without denaturing agents. Polynucleotide differences can also be detected through DNA or RNA sequencing. See, for example, Myers et al. Science, 230 1242 (1985).

Antibodies • The polypeptides and polynucleotides of the invention or their variants, or cells expressing them, can be used as immunogens to produce immunospecific antibodies to said polypeptides or polynucleotides, respectively. In certain preferred embodiments of the invention, antibodies are provided against polypeptides or polynucleotides
BASB029. • The antibodies generated against the polypeptides or polynucleotides of the invention can be obtained by administering the polypeptides and / or polynucleotides of the invention, or epitope-bearing fragments of either or both, analogs of any
or both, or cells expressing either or both, to an animal preferably one that is not human, using routine protocols. For the preparation of monoclonal antibodies, any technique known in the art that provides antibodies produced by continuous cell line cultures can be used. The
Examples include various techniques, such as those by Kohier, G. and Milstein, C, Nature 256: 495-497 (1975); Kozbor et al., Immunology Today 4; 72 (1983); Cole and others, p. 77-96 in MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND CANCER THERAPY, Alan R. Liss, Inc. (1985). 25 The techniques for the production of chain antibodies
Individual (US Patent No. 4,946,778) can be adapted to produce single chain antibodies to polypeptides or polynucleotides of this invention Also, transgenic mice, or other organisms or animals, such as other mammals, can be used to express humanized antibodies immunospecific to Polypeptides or polynucleotides of the invention Alternatively, phage display technology can be used to select antibody genes with binding activity towards a polypeptide of the invention from either the repertoires of genes and amplified by PCR of nuclides from humans classified as possessing ant? -BASB029 or from natural collections (McCafferty et al., (1990), Nature 348, 552-554, Marks et al., (1992) Biotechnology 10, 779-783) The affinity of these antibodies can also be improved, for example , through improved chain intermixing (Claxon et al., (1991) Nature 352 628)
The antibodies described above can be used to isolate or identify clones expressing the polypeptides or polynucleotides of the invention to purify the polypeptides or polynucleotides, for example, through affinity chromatography. Thus, among others, antibodies can be used against the BASB029 polypeptide or BASB029 polynucleotide to treat infections, particularly bacterial infections The pohpeptide vanants include antigenic, epitopic or immunologically equivalent vanivants which form an aspect
particular of this invention. Preferably, the antibody or its variant is modified to render it less immunogenic in the individual. For example, if the individual is a human being, the antibody very preferably must be "humanized", wherein the region or regions of complementarity determination of the hybridoma-derived antibody has been transplanted to a human monoclonal antibody, for example, as described by Jones et al. (1986), Nature 321, 522-525 or Tempest et al., (1991) Biotechnology 9, 266-273.
Antagonists v Agonists - Assays v Molecules Polypeptides and polynucleotides of the invention can also be used to determine the binding of small ligand molecule substrates in, for example, cells, cell-free preparations, chemical libraries and mixtures of natural product. These substrates and ligands may be natural substrates and ligands or may be structural or functional mimetics. See, for example, Coligan et al., Current Protocols in Immunology 1 (2): Chapter 5 (1991). Classification methods can simply measure the binding of a candidate compound to the polypeptide or polynucleotide, or cells or membranes carrying the polypeptide or polynucleotide, or a fusion protein of the polypeptide through a label directly or indirectly associated with the candidate compound. Alternatively, the classification method may involve the
competition with a marked competitor In addition, these classification methods can test whether the candidate compound results in a signal generated by the activation or inhibition of the polypeptide or polynucleotide, using detection systems appropriate for the cells comprising the polypeptide or polynucleotide. activation are generally analyzed in the presence of a known agonist and the effect on activation by the agonist is observed through the presence of the candidate compound. Constitutively active polypeptides and / or constitutively expressed polypeptides and polynucleotides can be used to classify methods for agonists or reverse inhibitors, in the absence of an agonist or inhibitor, testing whether the candidate compound results in inhibition of activation of the peptide or polynucleotide, whichever is the case In addition, the classification methods may simply comprise the steps of mixing a candidate compound with a solution containing a polypeptide or polynucleotide of the present invention, to form a mixture, by measuring the activity of the BASB029 polypeptide and / or polynucleotide in the mixture, and comparing the activity of the BASB029 polypeptide and / or polynucleotide of the mixture with a standard. fusion, such as those made from the Fc portion and the BASB029 polypeptide, as described above, can also be used for high throughput screening assays to identify antagonists of the polypeptide of the present invention, as well as polypeptides
phyletic and / or functionally related (see, D Bennett et al., J Mol Recognition, 8 52-58 (1995), and K Johanson et al., J Biol Chem 270/16) 9459-9471 (1995)) The nucleotides, polypeptides and antibodies that bind to and / or interact with a pohpeptide of the present invention can also be configured to configure classification methods to detect the effect of aggregated compounds on the production of mRNA and / or pohpeptide in cells. For example, it can be constructed an ELISA assay for measuring associated cell or secreted levels of the polypeptide using monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies by standard methods known in the art. This can be used to discover agents that can inhibit or enhance the production of the polypeptide (also called antagonist). or agonist, respectively) of suitably manipulated cells or tissues. The invention also provides a method for classifying compounds for identify those that improve (agonists) or block (antagonists) the action of BASB029 polypeptides or nucleotides, particularly those that are bactericidal and / or bactericidal. The method for classifying may involve high production techniques. For example, to classify agonists or antagonists, a synthetic reaction mixture, a cellular component, such as a membrane, a cell cover or cell wall or a preparation of any of these, comprising the BASB029 polypeptide and a ligand substrate
Labeling of said polypeptide is incubated in the absence or presence of a candidate molecule that can be a BASB029 agonist or antagonist. The ability of the candidate molecule to agonize or antanogize the BASB029 polypeptide is reflected in the reduced binding of the labeled ligand or reduced production of the product from the substrate. Molecules that bind freely, that is, without inducing the effects of the BASB029 polypeptide, are very likely to be good antagonists. Molecules that bind well and, as the case may be, raise the production rate of the product from the substrate, increase the signal translation, or increase the activity of the chemical channel, are agonists. Detection of the regime or level of, as the case may be, production of the product from the substrate, signal transduction, or chemical channel activity can be improved using a reporting system. Reporting systems that may be useful in this regard include, but are not limited to, colorimetric, labeled substrate converted to a product, a report gene that is sensitive to changes in BASB029 polynucleotide or polypeptide activity, and junctions known in the art. Another example of an assay for BASB029 agonists is a competitive assay that combines BASB029 and a potential agonist with BASB029 binding molecules, recombinant BASB029 binding molecules, and natural substrates or ligands, or substrate or ligand mimetics, under conditions appropriate for an assay of competitive inhibition. BASB029 can be marked, such as
can be determined with radioactivity or a colorimetric compound, so that the number of BASB029 molecules bound to a binding molecule or converted to the product can be accurately determined to determine the effectiveness of the potential agonist. Potential agonists include, among others, small organic molecules, peptides, polypeptides and antibodies that bind to a polypeptide and / or polynucleotide of the invention and thus inhibit or quench their activity or expression. Potential antagonists may also be organic small molecules, a peptide, a polypeptide, such as a closely related protein or antibody that binds the same sites in a binding molecule, such as a binding molecule, without inducing activities induced by BASB029, avoiding thus the action or expression of the BASB029 polypeptides and / or polynucleotides excluding BASB029 polypeptides and / or polynucleotides from the binding.
Potential antagonists include a small molecule that binds to and occupies the binding site of the polypeptide, thus preventing binding to cell binding molecules, so that normal biological activity is avoided. Examples of small molecules include, but are not limited to, small organic molecules, peptides or peptide-like molecules. Other potential antagonists include anti-sense molecules (see, Okano, J. Neurochem 56: 560 (1991); OLIGODEXYNUCLEOTIDES AS ANTISENSE INHIBITORS OF GENE EXPRESSION, CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL (1988), for a description of these molecules). Potential antagonists
Preferred include compounds related to and variants of BASB029. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to genetically engineered soluble fusion proteins, comprising a polypeptide of the present invention, or a fragment thereof, and several portions of the heavy or light chain constant regions of immunoglobulin several subclasses (igG, IgM, IgA, IgE). The preferred one as an immunoglobulin is the constant part of the heavy chain of human IgG, particularly IgG1, where fusion occurs in the hinge region. In a particular embodiment, the Fc part can be removed simply through the incorporation of a cleavage sequence, which can be separated with the coagulation factor Xa. Furthermore, this invention relates to processes for the preparation of these fusion proteins through genetic engineering, and to the use thereof for drug classification, diagnosis and therapy. A further aspect of the invention also relates to polynucleotides that encode said fusion proteins. Examples of the fusion protein technology can be found in the international patent applications Nos. W094 / 2958 and W094 / 22914. Each of the polynucleotide sequences provided herein can be used in the discovery and development of antibacterial compounds. The encoded protein, after expression, can be used as a target for the classification of antibacterial drugs. In addition, the sequences of
polynucleotides encoding the amino terminal regions of the encoded protein or Shine-Delgarno or other translation facilitating the sequences of the respective mRNA can also be used to construct anti-sense sequences to control the expression of the coding sequence of interest. The invention also provides ei use of the polypeptide, polynucleotide, agonist or antagonist of the invention to interfere with the initial physical interaction between a pathogen or pathogens and a eukaryotic, preferably a mammal, host responsible for the sequelae of infection In particular, the molecules of the invention can be used to prevent the adhesion of bacteria, in particular gram positive and / or gram negative bacteria, to extracellular eucaptotic matrix proteins, preferably mammalian, or in host devices or extracellular matrix proteins in wounds, to block bacterial adhesion between proteins of ma eukaryotic extracellular matrix, preferably of mammalian and bacterial BASB029 proteins that mediate tissue damage and / or block the normal progression of pathogenesis in infections initiated differently through the implantation of housed devices or through surgical techniques According to another aspect more than the invention there are BASB029 agonists and antagonists, preferably bacteriocidal or bacteriocidal agonists and antagonists. The antagonists and agonists of the invention can be used, for example to prevent, inhibit and / or treat diseases.

In a further aspect, the present invention relates to mimotopes of the peptide of the invention A mimotope is a peptide sequence, sufficiently similar to the native peptide (sequentially or structurally), which is capable of being recognized by antibodies that recognize the peptide native, or is capable of developing antibodies that recognize the native peptide when coupled to an appropriate carrier. The peptide mimotopes can be designed for a particular purpose through the addition, deletion or substitution of chosen amino acids. In this way, the peptides can be modified for the purposes of facilitating conjugation to a protein carrier For example, it may be desirable for some chemical conjugation methods to include a terminal cysteine. In addition, it may be desirable for peptides conjugated to a protein carrier that include a hydrophobic term far from the term conjugate of the peptide, so that the free unconjugated end of the peptide remains associated with the surface of the carrier protein. In this way the peptide is presented in a conformation that most likely resembles that of the peptide found in context of the entire native molecule For example, the peptides can be altered to have an N-terminal cysteine and a C-terminal hydrophobic amidated tail or tail Alternatively, the addition or substitution of a D-stereoisomer form of one or more of the amino acids may be performed to create a beneficial derivative for example, for improve the
peptide stability. Alternatively, mimotopes of the peptide can be identified using antibodies that are capable by themselves of binding to the polypeptides of the present invention using techniques such as phage display technology (EP 0 552 267 B1). This technique generates a large number of peptide sequences that rese the structure of the native peptides and, therefore, are capable of binding to anti-native peptide antibodies, but not necessarily by themselves can share sequence homology important with the native polypeptide.

An example for administering the gene is by accelerating it towards the desired cells as a cover on particles or otherwise. Said nucleic acid vector can comprise DNA, RNA, a ribosome, a modified nucleic acid, a DNA / RNA hybrid, a DNA-protein complex or an RNA-protein complex A further aspect of the invention relates to an immunological composition that when introduced to a individual, preferably a human being, capable of inducing within the an immunological response, induces an immunological response in said individual to a BASB029 polynucleotide and / or polypeptide encoded therein, wherein the composition comprises a polynucleotide and / or BASB029 polypeptide recombinant encoded thereof and / or comprises DNA and / or RNA encoding and expressing an antigen of the polynucleotide, BASB029 polypeptide encoded therefrom, or another polypeptide of the invention.

These response categories have been termed TH-1 type responses (response mediated by c). elula) and TH2 immune responses (humoral response) The extreme TH1 type immune responses can be characterized by the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes restricted in aplotype, antigen-specific, and natural killer cell responses in TH1-type responses of mice These are usually characterized by the generation of antibodies of the IgG2a subtype, whereas in the human being these correspond to antibodies of type I g G 1.
Type TH2 are characterized by the generation of a broad scale of immunoglobulin isotypes including in IgG 1, IgA, and IgM mice
It can be considered that the driving force behind the
• development of these two types of immune responses are cytosine 5 High levels of TH1-type cytosines tend to favor the induction of cell-mediated immune responses for the given antigen, while high levels of TH2-type cytosines tend to favor the induction of humoral immune responses for antigen 10 The distinction between TH1 and TH2 immune responses is not absolute In reality, an individual will support an immune response that is described as being predominantly TH1 or predominantly TH2 However, it is generally convenient to consider the families of cytosines in terms of those

EXAMPLES: The following examples were carried out using standard techniques, which are well known and are routine for those skilled in the art, where something else is described in detail. The examples are illustrative and do not limit the invention.
Example 1: Discovery and sequencing of DNA confirming the BASB029 gene of two strains of N. meninaitidis.
A: BASB029 in strain ATCC13090 of seroqroup B of N. meninpitidis. The BASB029 gene of SEQ ID NO: 1 was first discovered in the Incyte PathoSeq database containing unfinished genomic DNA sequence of W. meningitidis strain ATCC 13090. The translation of the BASB029 polynucleotide sequence, shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 , showed a significant similarity (52% identity in an overlap of 582 amino acids) with the surface fibril protein of Haemophilus influenzae (HSF). The sequence of the BASB029 gene was also confirmed experimentally. For this purpose, genomic DNA was extracted from 1010 cells of N. meningitidis cells (strain ATCC 13090) using the QIAGEN genomic DNA kit (Qiagen Gmbh), and 1 μg of this material was subjected to DNA amplification reaction of polymerase chain using primers Hsf1 (5'-GGG GCA TAT GAA CAA AAT ATA CCG CAT CAT TTG GAA-3 ') [SEQ ID NO: 5] containing an internal Ndel site (underlined) and Hsf2 (5'-GGG GCT CGA GCC ACT GAT AAC CGA CAG ATG CGG A-3) [SEQ ID NO: 6] containing an internal Xhol site (underlined). This PCR product was gel purified and subjected to DNA sequencing using the Big Dye Eye sequencing kit (Perkin-Elmer) and an ABI 377 / PRISM DNA sequencer. The DNA sequencing was
performed on both chain structures with a redundancy of 2 and full-length sequencing was assembled using the SeqMan program from the DNASTAR Lasergene software package. The resulting DNA sequence was made 100% identical to SEQ ID NO 1
B BASB029 in strain H44 / 76 of seroqroup B of N meninaitidis
The sequence of the BASB029 gene was also determined in another strain of serogroup B of N meningitidis, the strain H44 / 76. For this purpose, the genomic DNA was extracted from the strain H44 / 76 of N meningitidis using the experimental conditions presented in Example 1 This material (1 μg) was then subjected to DNA amplification of the Polymerase Chain Reaction using primers Hsf1 and Hsf2 specific for the BASB029 gene. A DNA fragment of 4389 bp was obtained, which was digested through restriction endonucleases. , Ndel / Xhol, and was inserted into the corresponding sites of the cloning / expression vector pET-2 b (Novagen) using standard molecular biology techniques (molecular Cloning, a Laboratory Manual, Second Edition, Eds Sambrook, Fptsch &Maniatis, Cold Sppng Harbor press 1989) The recombinant pET-24b / BASB029 was then subjected to DNA sequencing, using the Big Dyes equipment (Applied biosystems) and analyzed in an ABI 373 / A DNA sequencer under the conditions described by the provider. As a result, the deduced polynucleotide and deduced peptide sequences, referred to as SEQ ID NO 3 and SEQ ID NO 4, respectively,
were obtained Using the PILEUP program of the GCG package, an alignment was made of the polynucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NO 1 and 3, and is illustrated in Figure 1, their identity level reaches 96 8% as determined through the program GAP Using 5 in the same PILEUP program, an alignment of the polypeptide sequences of SEQ ID NO 2 and 4 was made, and it is displayed in Figure 2 its identity level reaches 94 2%, as measured through the GAP program Taken together, these data indicate strong sequence conservation of the BASB029 gene between the two strains of 10 serogroup B of N meningitidis

E coli from Novablue (DE3) [pET-24b / BASB029] at 37 ° C under agitation until the optical density, at 600 nm (OD600), reached 0 6 At that time, IPTG was added to a final concentration of 1 mM and the
The culture was grown for 4 more hours The culture was then
centrifuged at 10,000 rpm and the pellet was frozen at -20 ° C for at least 10 hours. After thawing, the pellet was resuspended for 30 minutes at 25 ° C in a pH A regulator (6M of guanidine hydrochloride, 0.1M of NaH2P04, 0.01M of Tris, pH 5 8.0), passed through three times through a needle and clarified through centrifugation (20000 rpm, 15 minutes). The sample was then loaded at a flow rate of 1 ml / minute on a Hitrap column loaded with Ni2 + (Pharmacia Biotech). After passing the flow, the column was washed successively with 40 ml of
pH regulator B (8M urea, 0.1M NaH2P04, 0.01M Tris, pH 8.0), 40ml buffer pH C (8M urea, 0.1M NaH2P04, 0.01M Tris, pH 6.3). The recombinant protein, BASB029 / His6, was then eluted from the column with 30 ml of pH regulator D (8M urea, 0.1M NaH2P04, 0.01M Tris, pH 6.3) containing
500mM of imidazole and fractions with a size of 3 ml were collected. As shown in Figure 3, (lane 1), a highly enriched BASB029 / His6 protein (purity estimated at more than 90% pure in Coomassie stain), migrating at 66 kDa (estimated relative molecular mass), was eluted from the column. East
The polypeptide was reactive against a mouse monoclonal antibody raised against the 5-histin motif (see Figure 3, lane 2). Altogether, these data indicate that the BASB029 gene can be expressed and purified under a recombinant form (BASB029 / HIS6) in E. coli. 25
Example 3: Immunization of mice with recombinant BASB029
The partially purified BASB029 protein, expressed in E. coli, was injected three times in Balb / C mice on days 0, 14 and 29 (8 animals / group). The animals were injected via the subcutaneous route with about 5 μg of antigen in two different formulations: either adsorbed in 100 μg of AIP04 or formulated in the SBAS2 emulsion (the SBAS2 emulsion containing 5 μg of MPL and 5 μg of QS21 per dose). A negative control group of mice immunized only with the SBAS2 emulsion was also added to the experiment. The mice were bled on day 29 (15 days after II) and 35 (6 days after III) in order to detect specific anti-BASB029 antibodies. The specific anti-BASB029 antibodies were measured in combined sera (from 10 mice / group) through Western staining in six different strains of NmB (Figures 4 and 5).
Recognition of BASB029 epitopes on different strains of NmB through Western staining In this test, sera from (combined) mice immunized through Western staining were tested for the recognition of BASB029 epitopes in six different B strains of Neisseria meningitidis: H44 / 76 (B: 15: P1.7, 16, lineage ET-5) , M97 250987 (B: 4: P1.15), BZ10 (B: 2b: P1.2, lineage A4), BZ198 (B: NT *: -, lineage 3), EG328 (B: NT *, lineage ST- 18), and strain ATCC 13090 Men B, as well as in the recombinant BASB029 protein, partially
purified (* NT Not Typified) In summary, 10 μl (> 10 β cells / lane) of each sample treated with pH regulator (10 minutes at 95 ° C) were placed on a gradient gel SDS-PAGE (Tris-glycine) 4-20%, Novex, No Code 5 EC60252) Electrophoretic migration occurred at 125 volts for 90 minutes After, the proteins were transferred to the nitrocellulose sheet (045 μm, Bio-rad, no code 162-0114) at 100 volts for 1 hour using a staining system, Bio-rad blotting (no code 170-3930) The filter was blocked with PBS-10 0 05% Tween 20 overnight at room temperature, before incubation with the sera from the mice containing the anti-BASB029 antibodies that come from the formulations of both AIP04 and SBAS2 These sera were diluted 100-fold in PBS-0 05% Tween 20, and incubated on the nitrocellulose sheet
for 2 hours at room temperature with moderate agitation, using a mim-staining system (Miniprotean, Bio-rad, no 170-4017) After three repeated steps of washes in PBS-0 05% Tween 20 for 5 minutes, the Nitrocellulose sheet was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour under moderate agitation with the
Appropriate conjugate (sheep biotinylated mouse anti-mouse Ig antibodies, Amersham, code RPN1001) diluted to 1/500 in the same wash buffer. The membrane was washed three times as previously done, and incubated for 30 minutes. minutes with shaking using the streptavidin-peroxidase complex (Amersham, no
code 1051) diluted to 1/1000 in the washing pH regulator
After the last three repeated steps of washing, revelation occurred during the 20 minute incubation in a 50 ml solution containing 30 mg of 4-chloro-1-naphthol (Sigma), 10 ml of methanol, 40 ml of PBS and 30 μl of H202. The staining was stopped, 5 while the membrane was washed several times in distilled water. The results, illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, show that all tested strains have the expected band around 65-70 kDa, and two other bands around 55 and 90 kDa, which are clearly related to this BASB029 protein.
(polymers, degradation products). This means that the BASB029 protein is probably expressed in most of, if not all, strains of NmB. In Figure 4, the recombinant BASB029 protein appears as four different proteins, two at the expected molecular weights of 65-70 kDa, and the other two
to many molecular weights (> 200 kDa), which are probably aggregates of the recombinant BASB029 protein.
jflfc Example 4: Presence of anti-BASB029 antibodies in sera from convalescent patients In this test, convalescent sera were tested by Western staining for the recognition of the purified recombinant BASB029 protein. Briefly, 5 μg of partially purified BASB029 NmB protein was placed on an SDS-PAGE / 4-20% gradient gel, Novex, no. code EC60252) for migration
electrophoretic. The proteins were transferred to a sheet of
nitrocellulose (0.45 μm, Bio-rad, code no 162-0114) at 100 volts for 1 hour using a staining system, Biorad trans-blot (code No. 170-3930). Then, the filter was blocked with PBS -0.05% Tween 20 overnight at room temperature, before incubation with human sera. These sera were diluted 100-fold in PBS-0.05% Tween 20, and incubated on the nitrocellulose sheet for 2 hours at room temperature with moderate agitation, using a mini-staining system (Miniprotean, Biorad, No. code 170-4017 ). After three repeated steps of washes in PBS-0.05% Tween 20 for 5 minutes, the nitrocellulose sheet was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour under moderate agitation with the appropriate conjugate (biotinylated anti-human Ig, sheep antibodies, Amersham , code RPN1003) diluted to 1/500 in the same washing pH regulator. The membrane was washed three times as previously, and incubated for 3 minutes with shaking using the streptavidin-peroxidase complex (Amersham, code No. 1051) diluted 1/100 in the wash buffer. After the last three repeated steps of washing, revelation occurred during the 20 minutes incubation time in a 50 ml solution containing 30 mg of 4-chloro-1-naphthol (Sigma), 10 ml of methanol, 40 ml of ultra-pure water, and 30 μl of H202. The staining was stopped while the membrane was washed several times with distilled water. The results are illustrated in Figures 6 and 7, which show that the 7 convalescents react against the protein
BASB029 recombinant around 65-70 kDa, while two higher bands (> 200 kDa) were also recognized by most of them, and with a weak reaction in few of them. The reactivities against proteins with a high molecular weight 5 confirm that these two bands are clearly related to the BASB029 protein, which are probably in their aggregated forms. In part A of Figures 6 and 7, the same reactions against these four bands are seen with the sera of immunized mice. This clearly confirms that all these 10 four bands are related to the recombinant BASB029 protein Sera from negative mice did not react with the recombinant protein as shown also in figure 7
