Description

Field of technology to which the present invention relates

[0001] The present invention relates to the production of mutant viral proteins in plants. More specifically, the present invention relates to the production and enhancement of influenza virus-like particles in plants.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Influenza viruses are enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae. Influenza viruses are highly contagious and can cause mild to severe illness in all age groups.

[0003] Vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent influenza infection. Typically, vaccination is performed using live attenuated or whole inactivated forms of the virus, which produce an immune response when administered to a patient. To eliminate the potential risk of live attenuated and intact inactivated viruses regaining the ability to replicate and becoming infectious, vaccines containing recombinant viral proteins have also been used to induce protective immunity to influenza infection.

[0004] However, the use of recombinant viral proteins as an immunogenic component of vaccines is subject to a number of limitations. First, in the absence of the full complement of viral proteins and genetic components required for optimal expression and proper protein folding, the yield of recombinant viral proteins in standard in vitro expression systems may be insufficient for the purpose of vaccine production. Second, vaccines with recombinant viral proteins may exhibit poor immunogenicity due to misfolding, poor antigen presentation, and/or generation of a predominantly humoral immune response that is ineffective at providing long-lasting protective immunity.

[0005] There are four types of influenza virus: A, B, C and D, of which influenza A and B are the causative agents of seasonal epidemics of disease in humans.

[0006] Influenza A viruses are further subdivided based on the expression of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) glycoprotein subtypes on the surface of the virus. There are 18 different subtypes of AN (H1-H18).

[0007] HA is a trimeric lectin that facilitates the binding of the influenza virus particle to sialic acid-containing proteins on the surface of target cells and mediates the release of the viral genome into the target cell. HA proteins contain two structural elements: a head, which is the main target of seroprotective antibodies, and a stalk. HA is translated as a single HAO polypeptide (assembled as trimers) that must be cleaved by a serine endoprotease between the HA1 (~40 kDa) and HA2 (~20 kDa) subdomains. After cleavage, the two disulfide-linked domains of the protein adopt the required conformation required for viral infectivity. HA1 forms a globular head domain containing the receptor binding site (RBS), and the RBS is the least conserved segment of the influenza virus. HA2 is a single-pass integral membrane protein with a fusion peptide (FP), a soluble ectodomain (SE), a transmembrane (TM), and a cytoplasmic tail (CT) with corresponding lengths of approximately 25, 160, 25, and 10 residues. HA2, together with the N- and C-terminal residues of HA1, forms a stem domain, which includes the transmembrane region and is relatively conserved.

[0008] Various mutations in influenza virus proteins have been studied, especially in influenza HA.

[0009] For example, Castelan-Vega et al. (Adv Appl Bioinform Chem. 2014;7:37-44) used a stability prediction algorithm to compare 7,479 full-length HA amino acid sequences from influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 virus and identified that mutations D104N, A259T, S124N, and E172K resulted in predicted increases in stability ON flu. In contrast, mutations S206T, K285E, and E47K had the predicted destabilizing effect on HA.

[0010] In a comparison of the sequences of the original influenza A (H1N1)pdm [A/California/7/2009] and the more recent influenza strain [A/Brisbane/10/2010], Cotter et al. (PLoSPathog. 2014; 10(1):e1003831) identified that the E47K mutation in the A/California/07/09 HA stem region stabilized the trimer structure, decreased the pH for membrane fusion, and increased the thermal and acid stability of the virus. Cotter et al. additionally observed that the HA mutant E47K A/California/7/2009 was more infectious in ferrets than its wild-type counterpart.

[0011]Antanasijevic et al. (J Biol Chem. 2014;289(32):22237-45) investigated the structural and functional properties of the stem-loop region of H5 HA by site-directed mutagenesis at 14 different positions. The A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) mutant was expressed in HEK 293T cells, and Antanasijevic reported that most mutations in the stem-loop region did not impair expression, proteolytic processing, virus assembly, or receptor binding. However, Antanasijevic observed that mutants HA1-D26K, HA1-M102L, HA2-V52A, and HA2-I55A (based on H3 numbering) exhibited significantly reduced levels of total HA, suggesting reduced expression and/or assembly of HA into viral particles. The HA1-D26K, HA2-T49A, and HA2-M102L mutants also exhibited lower hemagglutination titers compared to the wild-type virus. Antanasijevic additionally observed that all single mutants showed reduced penetration into A549 lung cells, with the most pronounced impairment being seen in the HA1-D26K and HA2-I55A mutants. Antanasijevic also demonstrated that the HA2-L99A mutant was more sensitive to inhibition of A549 lung cells by the neutralizing antibody C179 compared with wild-type virus, suggesting that the mutation enhances antibody binding and/or mode of neutralizing action. In contrast, mutants HA1-I28A, HA1-M31A, HA1-M31L, HA2-I45A, and HA2-I55V were less sensitive to penetration inhibition by the neutralizing antibody C179.

[0012] In international application publication WO 2013/177444 and accompanying publication Lu et at. (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2014; 111(1): 125-30) reports a method for producing a properly folded HA stem domain from A/California/05/2009 (H1N1) using an Escherichia coli-based cell-free protein expression system and a simple refolding protocol. To induce trimerization of the HA stem domain, either chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) or the assembly domain was fused to the C terminus of HA. To reduce the newly identified hydrophobicity and/or the formation of intermolecular ion pairs that cause aggregation of the expressed HA stem protein, five groups of mutations were evaluated: M1 (I69T+I72E+I74T+C77T); M2 (I69T+I72E+I74T+С77Т+F164D); M3 (I69T+I72E+I74T+С77Т+F164D+L174D); M4 (F164D) and M5 (F164D+L174D). Lu observed that M5 mutations (F164D+L174D) were found to be the most influential mutations for improving the solubility of HA stem proteins. Additional deletions (H38 to C43 and C49 to N61) and C77T mutations were introduced into the M5 mutants to avoid the formation of unwanted disulfide bonds, reduce surface hydrophobicity and pI, and avoid regions of disordered structure.

[0013] In US application No. 13/838796 and accompanying publication Holtz et at. (BMC Biotechnology. 2014; 14:111) reported increased stability and preservation of the activity of recombinant HA due to mutation of cysteine residues in the carboxy-terminal region of the HA protein, including the transmembrane (TM) and cytosolic domain (CT). In particular, Holtz et al. demonstrate mutations C539A, C546A, C549A, C524S and C528A in recombinant HA Perth/16/2009 (H3N2). Mutation of all five cysteine residues or various subsets of them resulted in HA yields, purity, particle size, hemagglutination activity, and thermostability comparable to recombinant wild-type HA protein. In contrast, the C64S and C76S mutations resulted in a significant reduction in HA expression, indicating a critical role for these residues in the intrinsic folding of HA. Using a simple radial immunodiffusion (SRID) assay, Holtz et al. also show that five mutations of cysteine residues improve the activity of recombinant HA relative to the wild-type protein by preventing disulfide cross-linking in the TM and CT domains. Mutant HA proteins retained activity for at least 12 months at 25°C, whereas wild-type HA protein showed less than 40% activity only 50 days after purification.

[0014] International Application Publication WO 2015/020913 reports mutation of specific residues at one or more positions selected from the group of 403, 406, 411, 422, 429, 432, 433 and 435 of the influenza A/Puerto Rico/8/ virus 1934 (H1N1), to tyrosine. These mutations promote the formation of dityrosine cross-links that stabilize or “lock” the influenza HA stem domain in its native trimeric conformation.

[0015] International application publication WO 2013/079473 discloses a modified influenza HA lacking the globular head domain. The polypeptide described in international application publication WO 2013/079473 contains a HA1 domain in which amino acids 53 to 620 (referring to numbering A/Brisbane/59/2007 [H1N1]) have been removed and replaced by a covalently linked sequence of 0-10 amino acids , and the HA2 domain, wherein the C-terminal amino acid of the HA1 domain is an amino acid other than arginine or lysine, and wherein one or more amino acids at positions 406, 409, 413, and 416 are mutated to an amino acid selected from the group consisting of serine, threonine , asparagine, glutamine, arginine, histidine, lysine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and glycine.

[0016] WO 2014/191435 similarly describes a modified influenza HA comprising a HA1 domain in which the deleted segment is replaced by a covalently linked sequence of 0 to 50 amino acids, and a HA2 domain, wherein the HA is resistant to cleavage at the junction between HA1 and HA2 and wherein one or more amino acids at positions 337, 340, 352, 353, 402, 406, 409, 413 and/or 416 have been mutated.

[0017] Virus-like particles (VLPs) are potential candidates for inclusion in immunogenic compositions. VLPs are very similar to mature virions, but they do not contain viral genomic material. Therefore, VLPs are non-replicative in nature, making them safe to administer as a vaccine. In addition, VLPs can be engineered to express viral glycoproteins on the surface of the VLP, which is their most natural physiological configuration. Moreover, because VLPs are similar to intact virions and are multivalent particulate structures, VLPs may be more effective in inducing neutralizing antibodies to the glycoprotein than soluble envelope protein antigens.

[0018] VLPs have been produced in plants (see, for example, international application publications WO 2009/076778; WO 2009/009876; WO 2009/076778; WO 2010/003225; WO 2010/003235; WO 2010/006452; WO 2011/0 3522 ; WO 2010/148511 and WO 2014153674, which are incorporated herein by reference).

[0019] International Application Publication WO 2009/076778 describes a method for producing influenza VLPs in plants, comprising introducing a nucleic acid containing a plant-active regulatory region operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding an influenza HA from influenza type A or type B.

[0020] International Application Publication WO 2009/009876 describes a method for producing influenza HA VLPs in plants, in which influenza HA self-assembles into VLPs in plant cells and buds from plant cell membranes.

[0021] International application publication WO 2010/003225 discloses a method for producing influenza HA VLPs in plants, comprising introducing a nucleic acid containing a plant-active regulatory region operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding influenza HA from A/California/04/09 (H1N1).

[0022] International application publication WO 2010/006452 reports the preparation of VLPs containing modified influenza HA proteins, with glycosylation sites at positions 154, 165, 286 or combinations thereof (referring to numbering A/Vietnam/1194/04 [H5N1] ) were abolished by mutation of residues at the indicated positions to amino acids other than asparagine. International Application Publication WO 2010/006452 also discloses that amino acids at positions 156, 167, 288, or combinations thereof, can be mutated to residues other than serine or threonine to similarly abolish the N-linked triad of the "N-X-S/T" glycosylation signal. . By selectively removing glycosylation sites located in the globular head of the HA protein, WO 2010/006452 demonstrated that the resulting HA protein exhibits increased antigenicity and greater cross-reactivity.

[0023] International application publication WO 2011/035422 discloses a method for producing VLPs of plant origin, comprising: producing a plant or plant substance containing VLPs localized in the apoplast; obtaining the protoplast/spheroplast fraction and the apoplast fraction; and isolating an apoplast fraction containing plant-derived VLPs.

[0024] International Application Publication WO 2010/148511 discloses a method for producing influenza VLPs in plants, wherein the VLPs contain chimeric HA proteins. Chimeric HA proteins contain a stem domain cluster containing subdomains F'1, F'2, and F; head domain cluster containing subdomains RB, E1 and E2; and a transmembrane domain cluster comprising a transmembrane domain and a C-terminal tail domain, wherein at least one subdomain is derived from a first influenza strain and the other subdomains are derived from one or more second influenza strains.

[0025] International application publication WO 2014/153674 discloses a method for producing influenza virus VLPs in a plant, the VLPs containing a modified influenza HA containing a modified proteolytic loop. The modified proteolytic loop contains the removal of the proteolytic cleavage site between the HA1 and HA2 domains of the HA0 precursor. In this way, the HA protein is stabilized and increased protein yields are achieved compared to the native HA protein.

Detailed Description of the Present Invention

[0067] The following description relates to the preferred embodiment.

[0068] As used herein, the terms “comprising,” “having,” “including,” “consisting,” and grammatical variations thereof are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, uncited elements and/or method steps. The term "consisting essentially of", when used herein in connection with a product, application or method, means that additional elements and/or steps of the method may be present, but these additions do not significantly affect the manner in which the set forth operates method or application. The term “consisting of,” when used herein in connection with a product, application, or method, excludes the presence of additional elements and/or process steps. A product, use, or method described herein as containing certain elements and/or steps may also, in certain embodiments, consist essentially of those elements and/or steps, and in other embodiments, consist of those elements and/or steps steps, whether or not specific embodiments are mentioned. In addition, the use of the singular includes the plural, and “or” means “and/or” unless otherwise noted. Unless otherwise defined herein, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one skilled in the art. As used herein, the term “approximately” refers to a deviation of approximately +/- 10% from the specified value. It should be understood that such modification is always included in any given value provided herein, whether specifically mentioned or not. The singular when used herein in conjunction with the term “comprising” may mean “one,” but is also consistent with the meaning of “one or more,” “at least one,” and “one or more than one.”

[0069] The term "plant", "plant part", "plant part", "plant matter", "plant biomass", "plant material", plant extract" or "plant leaves" as used herein may include the entire plant, tissue, cells or any fraction thereof, intracellular plant components, extracellular plant components, liquid or solid plant extracts, or a combination thereof, which are capable of providing the transcriptional, translational and post-translational machinery for the expression of one or more of the nucleic acids described in herein, and/or from which the expressed protein or VLP can be extracted and purified. Plants may include, but are not limited to, herbaceous plants. In addition, plants may include, but are not limited to, crops including, for example, canola, Brassica spp., corn, Nicotiana spp., (tobacco), e.g., Nicotiana benthamiana, Nicotiana rustica, Nicotiana, tabacum, Nicotiana alata, Arabidopsis thaliana, alfalfa, potato, sweet potato (Ipomoea batatus), ginseng, peas, oats, rice, soybeans, wheat, barley, sunflower, cotton, corn, rye (Secale cereale), sorghum {Sorghum bicolor, Sorghum vulgare), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius).

[0070] As used herein, the term “plant part” refers to any part of a plant, including, but not limited to, leaves, stem, root, flowers, fruit, plant cell derived from leaves, stem, root, flowers, fruit, a plant extract obtained from leaves, stem, root, flowers, fruits, or a combination thereof. As used herein, the term “plant extract” refers to a plant product that is obtained by processing a plant, a plant part, a plant cell, or a combination thereof, physically (e.g., by freezing followed by extraction in a suitable buffer), mechanically (e.g., by grinding or homogenizing plant or plant part followed by extraction in a suitable buffer), enzymatically (eg using cell wall degrading enzymes), chemically (eg using one or more chelators or buffers) or combinations thereof. The plant extract can be further processed to remove unwanted plant components, such as cell wall debris. A plant extract may be prepared to aid in the extraction of one or more components from a plant, plant part, or plant cell, for example, a protein (including protein complexes, protein surface structures, and/or VLPs), a nucleic acid, a lipid, a carbohydrate, or a combination thereof. from a plant, part of a plant or plant cell. If a plant extract contains proteins, it may be called a protein extract. The protein extract may be a crude plant extract, a partially purified plant or protein extract, or a purified product that contains one or more proteins, protein complexes, protein superstructures, and/or VLPs from plant tissue. If desired, the protein extract or plant extract can be partially purified using techniques known to those skilled in the art, for example, the extract can be subjected to salt or pH precipitation, centrifugation, density gradient centrifugation, filtration, chromatography, e.g. size exclusion chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography or a combination thereof. The protein extract can also be purified using techniques known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0071] As used herein, the term “construct,” “vector,” or “expression vector” refers to a recombinant nucleic acid for transferring exogenous nucleic acid sequences into host cells (e.g., plant cells) and directing expression of the exogenous nucleic acid sequence in the cells -the owners. "Expression cassette" refers to a nucleotide sequence containing a nucleic acid of interest under the control of and operably (or operably) linked to a suitable promoter or other regulatory elements for transcription of the nucleic acid of interest in a host cell. As will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, an expression cassette may contain a termination sequence (terminator), which is any sequence that is active in the host plant. For example, the termination sequence may be derived from the RNA-2 genome segment of a dicotyledonous RNA virus, such as a comovirus, the termination sequence may be a NOS terminator, or the terminator sequence may be derived from the 3'UTR of the alfalfa plastocyanin gene.

[0072] The constructs of the present disclosure may further comprise a 3' untranslated region (UTR). The 3' untranslated region contains the polyadenylation signal and any other regulatory signals that can affect mRNA processing or gene expression. The polyadenylation signal is typically characterized by the addition of polyadenylic acid tracks to the 3' end of the precursor mRNA. Polyadenylation signals are generally recognized by the presence of homology to the canonical 5' AATAAAA-3' form, although variations are not uncommon. Non-limiting examples of suitable 3' regions include 3' transcribed untranslated regions containing the polyadenylation signal of Agrobacterium tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid genes, such as nopaline synthase (Nos gene), and plant genes, such as soybean storage protein genes, ribulose-1 gene, Small subunit 5-bisphosphate carboxylase (ssRUBISCO; US 4,962,028; which is incorporated herein by reference), a promoter used to regulate plastocyanin expression.

[0073] By “regulatory region,” “regulatory element,” or “promoter” is meant a portion of a nucleic acid, typically, but not always, upstream of the protein-coding region of a gene, which may consist of DNA or RNA, or both DNA and RNA . When the regulatory region is active and operably linked or operably linked to a nucleotide sequence of interest, it may result in expression of the nucleotide sequence of interest. A regulatory element may be able to mediate organ specificity or control gene activation during development or over time. "Regulatory region" includes promoter elements, core promoter elements that exhibit basal promoter activity, elements that are induced in response to an external stimulus, elements that mediate promoter activity, such as negative regulatory elements or transcriptional enhancers. As used herein, a “regulatory region” also includes elements that are active downstream of transcription, for example, regulatory elements that modulate gene expression, such as translational and transcriptional enhancers, translational and transcriptional repressors, upstream activating sequences, and instability determinants mRNA. Some of these latter elements may be located near the coding region.

[0074] As used herein, the term "regulatory element" or "regulatory region" generally refers to a DNA sequence, typically, but not always, upstream (5') of the coding sequence of a structural gene that controls expression coding region, providing recognition for RNA polymerase and/or other factors necessary to initiate transcription at a particular site. However, it should be understood that other nucleotide sequences located within the introns or 3' sequences may also contribute to the regulation of expression of the coding region of interest. An example of a regulatory element that provides recognition for RNA polymerase or other transcription factors to ensure initiation at a specific site is a promoter element. Most, but not all, eukaryotic promoter elements contain a TATA box, a conserved nucleic acid sequence consisting of adenosine and thymidine nucleotide base pairs typically located approximately 25 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site. The promoter element may contain a basal promoter element responsible for initiating transcription, as well as other regulatory elements that alter gene expression.

[0075] There are several types of regulatory regions, including those that are developmentally regulated, inducible, or constitutive. A regulatory region that is developmentally regulated or controls differential expression of a gene under its control is activated in specific organs or tissues of an organ at specific times during the development of that organ or tissue. However, certain regulatory regions that are developmentally regulated may preferentially be active in certain organs or tissues at certain stages of development, and they may also be active in a developmentally regulated manner or at a basal level in other organs or tissues of the plant. Examples of tissue-specific regulatory regions, such as specific regulatory regions, include the napin promoter and the cruciferin promoter (Rask et al., 1998, J. Plant Physiol. 152: 595-599; Bilodeau et al., 1994, Plant Cell 14: 125-599). 130). An example of a leaf-specific promoter includes the plastocyanin promoter (see US Pat. No. 7,125,978, which is incorporated herein by reference).

[0076] An inducible regulatory region is a region that is capable of directly or indirectly activating the transcription of one or more DNA sequences or genes in response to an inducer. In the absence of an inducer, DNA sequences or genes will not be transcribed. Typically, a protein factor that specifically binds to an inducible regulatory region to activate transcription may be present in an inactive form, which is then directly or indirectly converted to an active form by an inducer. However, the protein factor may also be absent. The inducer may be a chemical such as a protein, metabolite, growth regulator, herbicide or phenolic compound, or a physiological stress caused directly by heat, cold, salt or toxic elements, or indirectly through the action of a pathogen or disease agent such as a virus. A plant cell containing an inducible regulatory region can be exposed to the inducer by exposing the inducer to the cell or plant, for example, by spraying, watering, heating, or similar methods. Inducible regulatory elements can be derived from both plant and non-plant genes (eg, Gatz, C. and Lenk, I.R.P., 1998, Trends Plant Sci. 3, 352-358). Examples of potential inducible promoters include, but are not limited to, tetracycline inducible promoter (Gatz, C, 1997, Ann. Rev. Plant Physiol. Plant Mol. Biol. 48, 89-108), steroid inducible promoter (Aoyama, T. and Chua , N.H., 1997, Plant J. 2, 397-404) and an ethanol-inducible promoter (Salter, M.G., et al., 1998, Plant Journal 16, 127-132; Caddick, M.X., et al., 1998, Nature Biotech. 16, 177-180), cytokinin-inducible IB6 and SKP genes (Brandstatter, I. and Kieber, J.J., 1998, Plant Cell 10, 1009-1019; Kakimoto, T., 1996, Science 274, 982-985) and auxin-inducible element DR5 (Ulmasov, T., et al., 1997, Plant Cell 9, 1963-1971).

[0077] A constitutive regulatory region directs gene expression in different parts of the plant and continuously throughout plant development. Examples of known constitutive regulatory elements include the promoters associated with the CaMV 35S transcript (p35S; Odell et al., 1985, Nature, 313: 810-812; which is incorporated herein by reference), rice actin 1 (Zhang et al. , 1991, Plant Cell, 3: 1155-1165), actin 2 (An et al., 1996, Plant J., 10: 107-121) or tms 2 (US 5428147), and triose phosphate isomerase 1 genes (Xu et al., 1994, Plant Physiol. 106: 459-467), maize ubiquitin 1 gene (Comejo et al., 1993, Plant Mol. Biol. 29: 637-646), Arabidopsis ubiquitin 1 and 6 genes (Holtorf et al., 1995, Plant Mol. Biol. 29: 637-646), tobacco translation initiation factor 4A gene (Mandel et al., 1995 Plant Mol. Biol. 29: 995-1004), grape leaf vein mosaic virus promoter, pCAS (Verdaguer et al., 1996); promoter of the small subunit of ribulose biphosphate carboxylase, pRbcS: (Outchkourov et al., 2003), pUbi (for monocots and dicots).

[0078] As used herein, the term “constitutive” does not necessarily mean that the nucleotide sequence under the control of the constitutive regulatory region is expressed at the same level in all cell types, but that the sequence is expressed in a wide range of cell types, although fluctuations in abundance are often observed .

[0079] Expression constructs as described above may be present in the vector. The vector may contain border sequences that allow the expression cassette to be transferred and integrated into the genome of the organism or host. The construct may be a plant binary vector, for example, a pPZP-based binary transformation vector (Hajdukiewicz, et al., 1994). Other exemplary constructs include pBin19 (see Frisch, D. A., L. W. Harris-Haller, et al., 1995, Plant Molecular Biology 27: 405-409).

[0080] As used herein, the term “native,” “native protein,” or “native domain” refers to a protein or domain having a primary amino acid sequence identical to the wild type. Native proteins or domains can be encoded by nucleotide sequences that have 100% sequence similarity to the wild type sequence. A native amino acid sequence may also be encoded by a human codon optimized (hCod) nucleotide sequence or a nucleotide sequence containing increased GC content compared to the wild type nucleotide sequence, provided that the amino acid sequence encoded by the hCod nucleotide sequence exhibits 100% sequence identity to relative to the natural amino acid sequence.

[0081] By a nucleotide sequence that is a “human codon optimized” or “hCod” nucleotide sequence is meant the selection of suitable DNA nucleotides for the synthesis of an oligonucleotide sequence or fragment thereof that approximates the frequency of codon usage typically found in the oligonucleotide sequence of the nucleotide sequence person. By “increased GC content” is meant the selection of appropriate DNA nucleotides for the synthesis of an oligonucleotide sequence or fragment thereof to approach a codon usage frequency that, compared to the corresponding natural oligonucleotide sequence, is characterized by an increase in GC content by a ratio of, for example, from about 1 to about 30% or any number between them, the length of the coding part of the oligonucleotide sequence. For example, from about 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30%, or any number therebetween, along the length of the coding region of the oligonucleotide sequence. As described below, a human codon optimized nucleotide sequence or a nucleotide sequence containing an increased GC contact (compared to a wild type nucleotide sequence) exhibits increased expression in a plant, plant part or plant cell compared to non-human optimized (or non-human optimized) expression. lower GC content) nucleotide sequence.

[0082] Modified influenza hemagglutinin (HA) proteins (also referred to as modified HA protein, modified influenza HA protein, modified HA, modified influenza HA, mutant HA, mutant influenza HA, influenza HA variants or HA variants) and methods for producing modified influenza HA proteins in plants are described herein. The modified influenza HA proteins described herein contain modifications or mutations that have been found to result in improved HA characteristics compared to wild-type HA or modified HA proteins. For example, the modified influenza HA protein may contain an amino acid sequence with at least one amino acid substitution compared to the corresponding wild-type amino acid sequence.

[0083] Examples of improved characteristics of a modified HA protein include increased yield of HA protein when expressed in plant cells compared to wild-type HA or unmodified HA of the same influenza strain or subtype that does not contain the modification(s) or mutation(s); improved hemagglutination titer of the modified HA protein compared to wild-type HA protein or unmodified HA protein; improved integrity, stability, or both the integrity and stability of virus-like particles (VLPs) that consist of modified HA proteins compared to the integrity, stability, or both of VLPs containing wild-type HA that do not contain the modification(s) or mutation(s); increased yield of VLPs when expressed in plant cells compared to the production level of wild-type VLPs that do not contain the modification(s) or mutation(s); and their combination.

Influenza subtypes and strains

[0084] As used herein, the term “influenza virus subtype” refers to variants of influenza A virus that are characterized by different combinations of the viral surface proteins hemagglutinin (H or HA) and neuramidase (N). As used herein, influenza virus subtypes and hemagglutinin (HA) of such virus subtypes may be referred to by their H number, for example, “H3 subtype HA,” “H3 HA,” or “H3 influenza.” The term "subtype" specifically includes all individual "strains" within each subtype, which typically arise from mutations and may exhibit different pathogenic profiles. Such strains may also be referred to as different "isolates" of a viral subtype. Accordingly, as used herein, the terms “strains” and “isolates” may be used interchangeably.

[0085] Traditionally, different strains of influenza are classified based on, for example, the ability of influenza to agglutinate red blood cells (RBC or red blood cells). Antibodies specific for certain strains of influenza can bind to the virus and thus prevent such agglutination. Assays that determine strain types based on such inhibition are generally known as hemagglutinin inhibition assays (HI assays or HAI assays), and they are standard and well-known methods for characterizing influenza strains.

[0086] However, HA proteins from different viral strains also show significant sequence similarity at both the nucleic acid and amino acid levels. This level of similarity varies when strains of different subtypes are compared, with some strains clearly exhibiting higher levels of similarity than others (Air, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1981, 78:7643). Levels of amino acid similarity vary between viral strains of one subtype and viral strains of other subtypes (Air, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1981, 78:7643). This variation is sufficient to establish discrete subtypes and evolutionary origins of different strains, but the DNA and amino acid sequences of different strains are still easily aligned using conventional bioinformatics techniques (Air, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1981, 78:7643; Suzuki and Nei , Mol Biol Evol 2002, 19:501).

[0087] Multiple nucleotide sequences or corresponding hemagglutinin (HA) polypeptide sequences can be aligned to determine a “consensus” or “consensus sequence” subtype (see FIG. 1).

[0088] Based on sequence similarity, influenza virus subtypes can be further classified by their phylogenetic group. Phylogenetic analysis (Fouchier et al., J Virol. 2005 Mar; 79(5):2814-22) has demonstrated a subdivision of HA that represents a division into two main groups (Air, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1981, 78:7643): among others, subtypes H1, H2, H5 and H9 in phylogenetic group 1 and, among others, subtypes H3, H4 and H7 in phylogenetic group 2.

[0089] New influenza HA proteins, HA modifications, variants and mutants of the HA protein are created by making changes to the amino acid sequence of the HA protein, resulting in improved HA characteristics as described above. Isolation of nucleic acids encoding such HA molecules is common, as is modification of the nucleic acid to introduce changes in the amino acid sequence, for example, through site-directed mutagenesis.

[0090] Described herein are modified influenza HA proteins and methods for producing modified influenza HA proteins in plants. It has been observed that modification, for example by substitution of certain amino acids in HA proteins, such as HA from the H3 subtype, results in improved performance of the modified HA protein compared to wild-type HA protein or unmodified HA protein.

[0091] One or more modifications, mutations or substitutions of the HA protein as described herein are not located in the globular head domain of the HA protein, are not located in known epitope regions of the HA protein, and the modifications, mutations or substitutions do not add or delete glycosylation sites in the HA protein.

[0092] An HA protein, a mutant HA protein, or a modified HA protein, as described herein, is modified to contain one or more mutations, modifications, or substitutions in its amino acid sequence at any one or more amino acids that correspond to one or more mutations or modifications at any one or more amino acids that correspond to positions 382, 384, 392, 431, 524, 525, 526, 527 or 528 of the amino acid sequence A/Hong Kong/4801/14 (SEQ ID NO: 92; see FIG. 1 ).

[0093] By “matching an amino acid” or “corresponding amino acid” is meant that the amino acid corresponds to an amino acid in a sequence alignment with a reference influenza strain, as described below.

[0094] The amino acid residue number or position of the HA residue corresponds to the HA numbering of the reference influenza strain. For example, in the case of H3 influenza, the reference strain may be A/Hong Kong/4801/14 [SEQ ID NO: 92 see FIG. 1]. The corresponding amino acid positions can be determined by aligning the HA sequences (eg, H3 HA) with the HA sequence of their corresponding reference strain. Methods for aligning sequences for comparison are well known in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be done, for example, using the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 (1981), using the Needleman & Wunsch homology alignment algorithm, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443 (1970), the similarity search method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (1988), using computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, WI) or by manual alignment and visual checks (see, for example, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (Ausubel et al., eds. 1995, appendix)). An amino acid sequence alignment of several influenza A virus HA domains, which should not be considered limiting, is shown in FIG. 1.

[0095] When modifications, mutants, or variants are mentioned, the wild-type amino acid residue (also referred to simply as an “amino acid”) is followed by the residue number and the new or substituted amino acid. For example, a change from asparagine (N, Asn) to alanine (A, Ala) at the residue or amino acid position 382 is designated N382A (see Table 1). 382 (N382A).

[0096] Modified HA, mutants or variants of HA, for example, modified H3 HA, are designated in the same manner using a single letter amino acid code for the wild type residue, followed by its position and a single letter amino acid code for the substitution residue. Multiple mutants are indicated by component single mutants separated by a slash (/) or plus (+). Mutations or modifications of the transmembrane (TM) domain or region are designated as (CysTM). For example, the H3 HA mutant N382A+L384V (CysTM) is a mutant in which alanine (A, Ala) replaces asparagine (N, Asp) at residue 382, and valine (V, Val) replaces leucine (L, Leu ) at residue position 384, and the H3 HA mutant contains additional mutations in the transmembrane domain.

[0098] The modified influenza hemagglutinin (HA) protein may comprise an amino acid sequence containing at least one amino acid substitution compared to the corresponding wild-type amino acid sequence.

[0099] By "amino acid substitution" or "substitution" is meant the replacement of an amino acid in the amino acid sequence of a protein with another amino acid. The terms "amino acid", "amino acid residue" or "residue" are used interchangeably in the present disclosure. One or more amino acids may be replaced by one or more amino acids that differ from the parent or wild-type amino acid at that position without changing the overall length of the amino acid sequence of the protein. A substitution or substitution can be experimentally induced by changing the codon sequence in a protein-encoding nucleotide sequence to a different amino acid codon sequence from the original or wild-type amino acid. The resulting protein is a modified protein, for example a modified influenza HA protein. The modified influenza HA protein does not occur naturally.

[00100] The modified HA includes a non-naturally occurring HA protein containing at least one modification of the natural HA and having improved characteristics compared to the natural HA protein from which the amino acid sequence of the modified HA is derived. Modified HA proteins contain an amino acid sequence not found in nature, which is formed by replacing one or more amino acid residues of the HA protein with one or more different amino acids.

[00101] Accordingly, modified HA, mutant HA, or recombinant HA refers to HA in which the DNA sequence encoding natural HA is modified to produce a modified or mutant DNA sequence that encodes a modification, mutation, or substitution of one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence of HA .

[00102] Some of the residues identified for modification, mutation or substitution correspond to conserved residues, while others do not. For residues that are non-conserved, substitution of one or more amino acids is limited to substitutions that produce a modified HA whose amino acid sequence does not correspond to that found in nature. In the case of conserved residues, such modification, replacement or substitutions should also not result in natural HA sequences.

Conservative substitutions

[00103] As described herein, residues in HA proteins can be identified and modified, replaced or mutated to produce a modified HA protein or variants of the HA protein. Substitutions or mutations at specific positions are not limited to the amino acid substitutions described herein or shown in the examples. For example, HA variants may contain conservative substitutions of the described amino acid substitutions.

[00104] As used herein, the term “conservative substitution” and its grammatical variations refer to the presence of an amino acid residue in the HA protein sequence that is different but belongs to the same amino acid class as the described substitution or the described residue (i.e., a nonpolar residue , replacing a non-polar residue, an aromatic residue, replacing an aromatic residue, a polar-uncharged residue, replacing a polar-uncharged residue, a charged residue, replacing a charged residue). In addition, conservative substitutions may involve a residue having an interfacial hydropathy value of the same sign and generally the same magnitude as the residue replacing the wild-type residue.

[00105] As used herein, the term “non-polar residue” refers to glycine (G, Gly), alanine (A, Ala), valine (V, Val), leucine (L, Leu), isoleucine (I, Ile) and proline (P, Pro); the term "aromatic residue" refers to phenylalanine (F, Phe), tyrosine (Y, Tyr) and tryptophan (W, Trp); the term “polar uncharged residue” refers to serine (S, Ser), threonine (T, Thr), cysteine (C, Cys), methionine (M, Met), asparagine (N, Asn) and glutamine (Q, Gln); the term "charged residue" refers to the negatively charged amino acids aspartic acid (D, Asp) and glutamic acid (E, Glu), as well as the positively charged amino acids lysine (K, Lys), arginine (R, Arg) and histidine (H, His). Another classification of amino acids may be as follows:

- amino acids with a hydrophobic side chain (aliphatic): alanine (A, Ala), isoleucine (I, Ile), leucine (L, Leu), methionine (M, Met) and valine (V, Val);

- amino acids with a hydrophobic side chain (aromatic): phenylalanine (F, Phe), tryptophan (W, Trp), tyrosine (Y, Tyr);

- amino acids with a polar-neutral side chain: asparagine (N, Asn), cysteine (C, Cys), glutamine (Q, Gln), series (S, Ser) and threonine (T, Thr);

- amino acids with electrically charged side chains (acidic): aspartic acid (D, Asp), glutamic acid (E, Glu);

- amino acids with electrically charged side chains (basic): arginine (R, Arg); histidine (H, His); lysine (K, Lys), glycine (G, Gly) and proline (P, Pro).

[00106] Conservative amino acid substitutions are likely to have the same effect on the activity of the resulting variant HA protein or modified HA protein as the original substitution or modification. Additional information on conservative substitutions can be found, for example, in Ben Bassat et al. (J. Bacteriol, 169:751-757, 1987), O'Regan et al. (Gene, 77:237-251, 1989), Sahin-Toth et al. (Protein ScL, 3:240-247, 1994), Hochuli et al (Bio/Technology, 6:1321-1325, 1988) and in widely used genetics and molecular biology textbooks.

[00107] Blosum matrices are typically used to determine the relationship of polypeptide sequences. Blosum matrices were generated using a large database of robust alignments (BLOCKS database), which counted pairwise sequence alignments associated with identities less than a certain threshold percentage (Henikoff et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89: 10915 -10919, 1992). For highly conserved target frequencies of the BLOSUM90 matrix, a 90% identity threshold was used. For the BLOSUM65 matrix, an identity threshold of 65% was used. Scores of zero and above in the Blosum matrices are considered “conservative replacements” at the selected percent identity. The following table shows examples of conservative amino acid substitutions: Table 2.

[00108] The nucleotide sequence encoding the modified HA protein may be optimized for human codon frequency, to increase GC content, or a combination thereof. The modified HA protein may be expressed in a plant, part of a plant, or a plant cell.

A. MODIFICATIONS OF H3 TO I

[00109] Modified influenza H3 HA proteins and methods for producing modified influenza H3 HA proteins in plants are described herein. It has been observed that modification of specific amino acids in HA proteins from the H3 subtype results in improved performance of the modified H3 HA protein compared to wild-type H3 HA protein or unmodified H3 HA protein.

[00110] A total of 33 single, double and/or triple modifications of residues that are not part of the transmembrane (TM) and cytosolic domain of HA (TM) and/or modifications of residues that are part of the transmembrane (TM) were examined. and the cytosolic domain (CT) of HA, in relation to improving the characteristics of the H3 HA protein. As described below and as shown in the examples, only modifications or combinations of modifications at certain positions improve the performance of the H3 HA protein. Modifications at 13 positions or combinations of positions negatively affected the characteristics of the H3 HA protein (data not shown).

[00111] Examples of improved characteristics of a mutant H3 HA protein or a modified H3 HA protein include increased yield or accumulation of HA protein when expressed in plant cells compared to wild-type HA or unmodified HA of the same influenza strain or subtype that does not contain the modification( i) or mutation(s); improved hemagglutination titer of modified or mutated HA protein compared to wild-type or unmodified HA protein; improved integrity, stability, or both the integrity and stability of VLPs that consist of modified HA proteins compared to the integrity, stability, or both of VLPs containing wild-type HA that do not contain the mutation(s); increased yield of VLPs when expressed in plant cells compared to the level of production of wild-type VLPs that do not contain the modification(s) or mutation(s); and their combination.

[00112] A modified H3 HA protein or mutant H3 HA protein, as described herein, is modified to contain one or more mutations or modifications at any one or more residues in a sequence alignment to positions 382, 384, 392 and/or 431 of the reference strain A/Hong Kong/4801/14 (SEQ ID NO: 92; see FIG. 1). Therefore, influenza H3 HA polypeptides, proteins and/or protein complexes are provided, such as, for example, virus-like particles (VLPs), which contain modifications or mutations at one or more of amino acid positions 382, 384, 392 and 431, such amino acid numbering being based on sequence A/Hong Kong/4801/14, as shown in FIG. 1 (SEQ ID NO: 92), or at amino acid positions that correspond to such amino acid positions, for example, as determined by alignment of the HA amino acid sequence to SEQ ID NO: 92. Non-limiting examples of H3 influenza HA amino acid sequences that contain one or more such mutations , include SEQ ID NOs: 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96 and 97.

[00113] The modified H3 HA protein described herein includes an H3 HA protein with amino acid sequences that have sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70, 75, 80, 85, 87, 90, 91, 92, 93 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100%, or any number therebetween, with respect to the amino acid sequence encoding HA from H3 (SEQ ID NO: 91-97), wherein the amino acid sequence contains one or more mutations or modifications at any one or more residues in the sequence alignment to positions 382, 384, 392 and 431 of A/Hong Kong/4801/14 HA (SEQ ID NO: 92).

[00114] In addition, the H3 HA protein may be encoded by nucleotide sequences that have sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70, 75, 80, 85, 87, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 , 99, 100%, or any number therebetween, with respect to the nucleotide sequence encoding HA from H3 (SEQ ID NO: 91-97), wherein the H3 HA protein contains one or more mutations or modifications at any one or more residues when aligning the sequences with positions 382, 384, 392 and 431 A/Hong Kong/4801/14 HA (SEQ ID NO: 92), and the nucleotide sequence encodes the hemagglutinin protein, which when expressed forms a VLP.

[00115] Non-limiting examples of strains from which H3 HA may originate include A/Bangkok/3007/15 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 91); A/Hongkong/4801/14 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 92); A/Minnesota/40/15 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 93); A/South Australia/1/16 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 94); A/Pennsylvania/09/15 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 95); A/Switzerland/9715293/13 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 96) and A/Mississippi/16/16 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 97).

Modification at position 382

[00116] In one aspect, an H3 HA is provided which may contain a modified residue at position 382 (numbering as per A/Hong Kong/4801/14 HA numbering, SEQ ID NO: 92).

[00117] Antanasijevic et al. (J Biol Chem. 2014;289(32):22237-45) investigated the structure-function properties of the H5 stem-loop region of HA by site-directed mutagenesis at 14 different positions. The mutated positions Thr ⁴¹ , Gln ⁴² , Ile ⁴⁵ , Asn ⁵³ and Leu ⁹⁹ of HA2 are highly conserved and were designed to analyze the importance of these residues for HA function. Antanasijevic observed that conservative mutations at positions HA1-I28V, HA2-T41A, HA2-T49A, HA2-N53A and HA2-D57E impair viral entry. In the case of mutational effect on entry inhibition by the small molecule MBX2329, substitutions to HA2-Ile ⁴⁵ , HA2-Val ⁵² , HA2-Asn ⁵³ and HA2-Ser ⁵⁴ on the outer surface and HA2-Leu ⁹⁹ on the inner surface had the greatest impact. These residues are highly conserved in group 1 HAs (eg, H1 and H5). Position 53 in the H5 Antanasijevic HA corresponds to position 380 in the HI HA and position 382 in the H3 HA of the current deployment.

[00118] Surprisingly, it was found that modification of the conserved residue at position 380 in HI HA from asparagine to alanine resulted in an approximately 80% reduction in the hemagglutination titer of the modified HI HA compared to wild-type HI HA (data not shown). An equivalent modification of HA from H5 also leads to a decrease in the hemagglutination titer (see Fig. 3, table 7). However, changing the equivalent position in HA from H3 (N382A) from asparagine to alanine results in an approximately 130% increase in hemagglutination titer compared to wild-type HA (see Fig. 2, Table 5).

[00119] Accordingly, the residue at position 382 of H3 HA may be modified so that it is not an asparagine. For example, the residue at position 382 can be modified to be a hydrophobic amino acid, such as alanine, or a conservative alanine substitution, such as series (S, Ser), glycine (G, Gly), threonine (T, Thr), cysteine (C , Cys) or valine (V, Val).

[00120] For example, a modified H3 HA protein may contain an amino acid sequence that has a sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70, 75, 80, 85, 87, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 . A, Ala) at position 382 and the sequence does not occur in nature. The conservative substitution for alanine may, for example, be series (S, Ser), glycine (G, Gly), threonine (T, Thr), cysteine (C, Cys) or valine (V, Val).

[00122] For example, nucleotide sequences may have sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 87%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%, or any number between them, with respect to the nucleotide sequence encoding HA from H3 A/Hong Kong/4801/14 (SEQ ID NO: 102), wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes a modified H3 HA protein that contains alanine (A, Ala) or a conservative substitution alanine (A, Ala) at position 382, and the sequence does not occur in nature. The conservative substitution may, for example, be series (S, Ser), glycine (G, Gly), threonine (T, Thr), cysteine (C, Cys) or valine (V, Val).

[00123] Nucleotide sequences may have sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 87%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%, or any number. between them, with respect to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 102, wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes a modified H3 HA protein that contains an alanine (A, Ala) or a conservative alanine substitution (A, Ala) at position 382, and wherein the sequence does not occur in nature. The conservative substitution may, for example, be series (S, Ser), glycine (G, Gly), threonine (T, Thr), cysteine (C, Cys) or valine (V, Val).

[00124] In addition to the residue at position 382, residues at positions 384, 524, 525, 526, 527, 528, or any combination thereof, can be modified in H3 HA.

[00125] Also provided is a method for producing VLPs that contain a modified H3 HA substitution at least at position 382 and optionally at position 384, 524, 525, 526, 527, 528, or any combination thereof, in a plant. The method involves introducing a nucleic acid encoding a modified H3 HA operably linked to a plant-active regulatory region into a plant or plant part, and incubating the plant or plant part under conditions that allow expression of the nucleic acid, thereby producing a VLP.

[00126] Also provided is a method for increasing the yield of VLPs that contain a modified H3 HA with a substitution at at least position 382, and optionally substitutions at positions 384, 524, 525, 526, 527, 528, or any combination thereof, in a plant .

Modification in position 384

[00128] In another aspect, there is provided an H3 HA that may contain a modified residue at position 384 (numbering A/Hong Kong/4801/14 HA, SEQ ID NO: 92).

[00129] As shown, for example, in FIG. 2 and Table 5, the presence of a residue at position 384 modified from leucine to valine results in an approximately 200% increase in hemagglutination titer compared to wild-type H3 HA.

[00130] Accordingly, the residue at position 384 of H3 HA may be modified to be non-leucine. For example, the residue at position 384 may be modified to be, for example, valine or a conservative valine substitution that is not leucine, such as isoleucine, methionine, alanine or threonine.

[00131] For example, a modified H3 HA protein may contain an amino acid sequence that has a sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70, 75, 80, 85, 87, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 , 99, 100%, or any number therebetween, with respect to the amino acid sequence HA from H3 A/Hong Kong/4801/14 (SEQ ID NO: 92), wherein the amino acid sequence contains valine (V, Val) or a conservative valine substitution, which is not leucine, at position 384, wherein the sequence does not occur in nature and wherein the HA protein, when expressed, forms a VLP.

The conservative replacement for valine may be, for example, isoleucine, methionine, alanine or threonine.

[00134] Nucleotide sequences may have sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 87%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%, or any number between them, with respect to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 102, wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes a modified H3 HA protein that contains valine (V, Val) or a conservative valine substitution (V, Val), which is not leucine, at position 384 , wherein the sequence does not occur in nature and wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes an HA protein that, when expressed, forms a VLP. The conservative replacement for valine may be, for example, isoleucine, methionine, alanine or threonine.

[00135] In addition to the residue at position 384, residues at positions 382, 524, 525, 526, 527, 528, or any combination thereof, can be modified in H3 HA.

The method involves introducing a nucleic acid encoding a modified H3 HA operably linked to a plant-active regulatory region into a plant or plant part, and incubating the plant or plant part under conditions that allow expression of the nucleic acid, thereby producing a VLP.

[00138] Further provided herein is a VLP comprising an H3 HA with a substitution at at least position 384 and optionally substitutions at positions 382, 524, 525, 526, 527, 528, or any combination thereof.

[00140] As shown, for example, in FIG. 2 and Table 5, the presence of a residue at position 392 modified from phenylalanine to aspartic acid results in an approximately 140% increase in hemagglutination titer compared to wild-type H3 HA.

[00141] Accordingly, the residue at position 392 in H3 of HA can be modified so that it is not a phenylalanine. For example, the residue at position 392 may be modified, for example, to be aspartic acid or a conservative replacement for aspartic acid, eg glutamic acid, asparagine, glutamine or series.

[00149] In another aspect, there is provided an H3 HA that may contain a modified residue at position 431 (H3 numbering A/Hong Kong/4801/14 HA, SEQ ID NO: 92).

[00150] As shown, for example, in FIG. 2 and Table 5, the presence of a residue at position 431 modified from leucine to methionine results in an approximately 170% increase in hemagglutination titer compared to wild-type H3 HA.

[00151] Accordingly, the residue at position 431 in H3 HA can be modified to be non-leucine. For example, the residue at position 431 may be modified, for example, to be methionine or a conservative substitution for methionine, for example leucine, isoleucine, glutamine, valine or phenylalanine.

A conservative replacement for methionine may be, for example, leucine, isoleucine, glutamine, valine or phenylalanine.

[00155] For example, nucleotide sequences may have sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 87%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%, or any number in between, with respect to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 102, wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes a modified H3 HA protein that contains methionine or a conservative methionine substitution at position 431, wherein the sequence does not occur in nature, and wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes an HA protein that when expressed, forms VLP.

B. MODIFICATIONS H3 ON II

Modification at position 382, 384, 392, 431 and/or 524-528 (“CysTM”)

[00159] Modified influenza H3 HA proteins and methods for producing modified influenza H3 HA proteins in plants are described herein. It has been observed that modification of specific amino acids in HA proteins from the H3 subtype results in improved performance of the modified H3 HA protein compared to wild-type H3 HA protein or unmodified H3 HA protein.

[00160] In one aspect, cysteine residues at position 524 and/or 528 (H3 numbering A/Hong Kong/4801/14, SEQ ID NO: 92) or residues equivalent to these positions, as determined by alignment, can be replaced by residues no cysteine at these positions. In addition, residues at positions 525, 526 and/or 527 (numbering H3 A/Hong Kong/4801/14 HA) may also be modified. These modifications or substitutions may be referred to as "CysTM modification", "CysTM", "CysTM mutation", "CysTM substitution" or "CysTM substitution" or grammatically equivalent expressions.

[00161] In US application No. 13/838796 and accompanying publication Holtz et al. (BMC Biotechnology. 2014; 14:111) report increased stability and retention of activity of recombinant HA due to mutation of cysteine residues in the carboxy-terminal region of the HA protein, including the transmembrane (TM) and cytosolic domain (CT). In particular, Holtz et al. demonstrate mutations C539A, C546A, C549A, C524S and C528A in recombinant HA Perth/16/2009 (H3N2). Mutation of all five cysteine residues or various subsets of them resulted in HA yields, purity, particle size, hemagglutination activity, and thermostability comparable to recombinant wild-type HA protein. In contrast, mutations of a pair of conserved cysteine residues in the ectodomain known to form a disulfide bond (C64S and C76S) resulted in a significant reduction in HA expression, indicating a critical role for these residues in the intrinsic folding of HA. Using simple one-dimensional radial immunodiffusion (SRID) analysis, Holtz et al. also show that five mutations of cysteine residues improve the efficiency of recombinant HA compared to the wild-type protein by preventing disulfide cross-linking in the TM and CT domains. Mutant HA proteins remain active for at least 12 months at 25°C, whereas wild-type HA protein exhibits less than 40% activity only 50 days after purification.

[00162] Xu et al. (Virus Genes (2013) 47: 20-26) showed that H3 HA mutants with mutations in one or two TM cysteines (C540/544) can be correctly expressed in cells, but the mutant exhibits lower heat resistance and increased fusion activity compared to proteins H3 HA wild type.

[00163] A total of 33 single, double or triple modifications in combination with transmembrane (TM) modifications as described herein (“Cys TM modification”) were investigated to improve the performance of the H3 HA protein. As described below and as shown in the examples, only modifications or combinations of modifications at certain positions improve the performance of the H3 HA protein. Modifications at 13 positions or combinations of positions negatively affected the characteristics of the H3 HA protein (data not shown).

[00164] Examples of improved characteristics of mutant H3 HA protein include increased yield of HA protein when expressed in plant cells compared to wild-type HA or unmodified HA of the same influenza strain or subtype that does not contain the modification(s) or mutation(s) ; improved hemagglutination titer of modified or mutated HA protein compared to wild-type HA protein or unmodified HA protein; improved integrity, stability, or both the integrity and stability of VLPs that consist of modified HA proteins compared to the integrity, stability, or both of VLPs containing wild-type HA that do not contain the mutation(s); increased yield of VLPs when expressed in plant cells compared to the level of production of wild-type VLPs that do not contain the modification(s) or mutation(s); and their combination.

[00165] In one aspect, a modified H3 HA is provided containing cysteine residues at positions 524 and/or 528 (numbering A/Hong Kong/4801/14) or residues equivalent to these positions, as determined by alignment, replaced by non-cysteine residues at these provisions. For example, cysteine residues at position 524 can be replaced by serine (S, Ser) or a conservative serine substitution, or the cysteine at position 528 can be replaced by leucine (L, Leu) or a conservative leucine substitution.

[00166] In addition, the sequence between the two cysteines at positions 524 and 528 (numbering A/Hong Kong/4801/14, SEQ ID NO: 92) can also be modified. For example, in the sequence "C524X525X526X527C528" C524 (position 524) can be replaced by serine (S, Ser) or a conservative serine substitution; if X525 (position 525) is not leucine, the X525 residue may be replaced by leucine (L, Leu) or a conservative leucine substitution; if X526 (position 526) is not valine, X526 may be replaced by valine (V, Val) or a conservative valine substitution; if X527 (position 527) is not leucine, the residue at position X527 may be replaced by leucine (L, Leu) or a conservative leucine substitution, and C528 (position 528) may be replaced by leucine (L, Leu) or a conservative leucine substitution. For example, in one embodiment, the sequence "CFLLC" at positions 524 to 528 may be replaced with the sequence "SLVLL" (SEQ ID NO: 98).

[00167] HA proteins from strains other than H3 influenza virus that contain cysteine residues at position 524 and/or 528 or residues equivalent to these positions, as determined by alignment, can also be modified as described below. For example, HA proteins from influenza B virus strains that contain cysteine residues at positions that are equivalent to position 524 and/or 528 of H3 HA can be modified to non-cysteine residues, as described below.

[00168] In addition to mutation of the transmembrane domain as described herein, modified H3 HA proteins may additionally contain one or more amino acid substitutions at positions 382, 384, 392 and/or 431, resulting in improved characterization of the modified HA3 protein or VLP , obtained using a modified HA protein. It should be understood that improved characterization is not limited to replacing a specific amino acid at certain sites, as one skilled in the art will appreciate that amino acids with similar properties can be replaced by amino acids at the identified positions.

[00169] Accordingly, a modified H3 HA protein or a mutant H3 HA protein as described herein may contain one or more mutations or modifications at any one or more residues in the sequence alignment to positions 382, 384, 392, 431, 524. 525, 526, 527 or 528 of the H3 reference strain A/Hong Kong/4801/14 (SEQ ID NO: 92; see FIG. 1). Therefore, influenza H3 HA polypeptides, proteins and/or protein complexes are provided, such as, for example, virus-like particles (VLPs), which contain modifications or mutations at one or more amino acid positions 382, 384, 392, 431, 524, 525, 526, 527 or 528, which amino acid numbering is based on the H3 sequence A/Hong Kong/4801/14, as shown in FIG. 1 (SEQ ID NO: 92), or at amino acid positions that correspond to such amino acid positions, for example, as determined by alignment of the HA amino acid sequence to SEQ ID NO: 92. Non-limiting examples of H3 influenza virus HA amino acid sequences that contain one or more such mutations include SEQ ID NOs: 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96 and 97.

[00170] The modified H3 HA protein described herein includes an H3 HA protein with amino acid sequences that have sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70, 75, 80, 85, 87, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94. 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100%, or any number therebetween, with respect to the amino acid sequence encoding HA from H3 (SEQ ID NO: 91-97), wherein the amino acid sequence contains one or more than one mutation or modification at any one or more residues in the sequence alignment to positions 382, 384, 392, 431, 524, 525, 526, 527 or 528 A/Hong Kong/4801/14 HA (SEQ ID NO: 92).

[00171] In addition, the H3 HA protein may be encoded by nucleotide sequences that have sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70, 75, 80, 85, 87, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 , 99, 100%, or any number therebetween, with respect to the nucleotide sequence encoding HA from H3 (SEQ ID NO: 91-97 sequences of H3 strains), wherein the H3 HA protein contains one or more mutations or modifications in any one or more residues in the sequence alignment at positions 382, 384, 392, 431, 524, 525, 526, 527 or 528 H3 A/Hong Kong/4801/14 HA (SEQ ID NO: 92) and wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes a hemagglutinin protein, which expression forms a VLP.

[00172] Non-limiting examples of strains from which H3 HA may originate include A/Bangkok/3007/15 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 91); A/Hongkong/4801/14 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 92); A/Minnesota/40/15 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 93); A/South Australia/1/16 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 94); A/Pennsylvania/09/15 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 95); A/Switzerland/9715293/13 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 96) and A/Mississippi/16/16 (H3N2) (SEQ ID NO: 97).

[00173] In another aspect, there is provided an H3 HA that may contain a modified residue at position 382 and may be modified to contain a cysteine residue at positions 524 and/or 528 (H3 numbering A/Hongkong/4801/14, SEQ ID NO: 92). In addition, residues at positions 525, 526 and/or 527 (H3 numbering A/Hongkong/4801/14) may also be modified.

[00174] As shown, for example, in FIG. 7A, 7B and 7C, H3 HA containing cysteine residues at positions 524 and 528 modified to non-cysteine and containing a residue at position 382 modified from asparagine to alanine resulted in an approximately 260% increase in hemagglutination titer compared to H3 HA wild type.

[00175] Accordingly, a modified H3 HA protein is provided that contains one or more modifications at position 524, 525, 526, 527, or 528 and a modification at position 382. In a non-limiting example, the modified H3 HA contains modifications at at least positions 382 , 524 and 528.

[00176] The residue at position 382 of H3 HA may be modified so that it is not an asparagine. For example, the residue at position 382 may be modified to be a hydrophobic amino acid, such as alanine, or a conservative alanine substitution, such as series (S, Ser), glycine (G, Gly), threonine (T, Thr), cysteine (C , Cys) or valine (V, Val). The residue at position 524 can be modified to a non-cysteine, serine, or conservative serine substitution (S, Ser), and the residue at position 528 can be modified to a non-cysteine, leucine (L, Leu) or conservative leucine substitution.

[00177] For example, a modified H3 HA protein may contain an amino acid sequence that has a sequence identity or sequence similarity of approximately 70, 75, 80, 85, 87, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 . , Ala) at position 382, does not contain a cysteine residue at positions 524 and 528, and the sequence does not occur in nature and where HA forms a VLP when expressed. The conservative substitution for alanine may, for example, be series (S, Ser), glycine (G, Gly), threonine (T, Thr), cysteine (C, Cys) or valine (V, Val). The non-cysteine at position 524 may be a serine (S, Ser) or conservative substitution for serine, and the non-cysteine at position 528 may be a leucine (L, Leu) or conservative substitution for leucine. The conservative serine substitution (Se, Ser) may be, for example, threonine (T, Thr), alanine (A, Ala), asparagine (N, Asn), aspartic acid (D, Asp), glutamine (Q, Gln), glycine (G, Gly), glutamic acid (E, Glu) or lysine (L, Lys). The conservative substitution for leucine can be, for example, isoleucine (I, Ile), valine (V, Val), methionine (M, Met), phenylalanine (F, Phe) or valine (V, Val).

A conservative substitution for alanine may, for example, be series (S, Ser), glycine (G, Gly), threonine (T, Thr), cysteine (C, Cys) or valine (V, Val). The non-cysteine at position 524 may be a serine (S, Ser) or conservative substitution for serine, and the non-cysteine at position 528 may be a leucine (L, Leu) or conservative substitution for leucine.

The conservative substitution may be, for example, leucine, isoleucine, glutamine, valine or phenylalanine.

[00217] In addition to residues at positions 431, 524 and 528, modified H3 HA may contain additional modified residues. For example, one or more residues at positions 525, 526, and 527 may be modified.

[00229] In addition to residues at positions 382, 384, 524 and 528, modified H3 HA may contain additional modified residues. For example, one or more residues at positions 525, 526, and 527 may be modified. In a non-limiting example, the modified H3 HA may contain substituted residues at positions 382, 384, 524, 528 and one or more substitutions at positions 525, 526, 527, or thereof combination.

[00230] Also provided is a method for producing VLPs that contain a modified H3 HA with substitution at at least positions 382, 384, 524 and 528 and optionally substitutions at positions 525, 526, 527 upstream in a plant. The method involves introducing a nucleic acid encoding a modified H3 HA operably linked to a plant-active regulatory region into a plant or plant part, and incubating the plant or plant part under conditions that allow expression of the nucleic acid, thereby producing a VLP.

[00231] Also provided is a method for increasing the yield of VLPs that contain a modified H3 HA with substitutions at least at positions 382, 384, 524, and 528, and optionally with substitutions at positions 525, 526, 527, as described above, in plant. The method involves introducing a nucleic acid encoding a modified H3 HA operably linked to a plant-active regulatory region into a plant or plant part, and incubating the plant or plant part under conditions that allow expression of the nucleic acid, thereby producing a VLP.

[00232] Further provided herein is a VLP comprising H3 HA with substitutions at least at positions 382, 384, 524 and 528 and optionally substitutions at positions 525, 526, 527. The VLP can be prepared by a method as provided herein description. VLPs containing modified H3 HA exhibit improved performance compared to VLPs that contain unmodified H3 HA protein.

[00233] Also provided herein are methods for increasing the production or yield of VLPs containing mutant influenza HAs in plants. For example, the method may involve introducing a nucleic acid encoding a mutant influenza HA, as described herein, into a plant, plant part, or plant cell. The nucleic acid encoding the mutant influenza HA may be optimized for human codon frequency, increased GC content, or a combination of both. One or more mutant influenza HA proteins can be expressed in a plant, part of a plant, or plant cell to produce a VLP containing one or more mutant influenza HA proteins. Alternatively, the method may involve obtaining a plant, plant part, or plant cell that contains a nucleic acid encoding a mutant influenza HA protein to produce a VLP containing one or more mutant influenza HA proteins.

[00234] Methods for producing a VLP containing mutant influenza HA may further comprise the step of introducing a second nucleic acid sequence into a plant, plant part, or plant cell, wherein the second nucleic acid encodes a proton channel protein that is coexpressed with the mutant influenza HA. For example, the proton channel protein may be an influenza A subtype M2 protein, such as A/New Caledonia/20/99 M2. Co-expression of a proton channel protein can lead to increased accumulation of mutant influenza HA protein and/or VLPs containing mutant influenza HA protein, as, for example, described in international application publication WO 2013/044390, which is incorporated herein by reference.

[00235] In addition, the mutant influenza HA may further comprise a modified proteolytic loop or cleavage site, as described in International Application Publications WO 2013/044390 and WO 2014/153674, which are incorporated herein by reference.

[00236] By “coexpression” is meant the introduction and expression of two or more nucleotide sequences, each of the two or more nucleotide sequences encoding a protein of interest, or a fragment of a protein of interest, in a plant, part of a plant, or plant cell. Two or more nucleotide sequences may be introduced into a plant, plant part, or plant cell in a single vector such that each of the two or more nucleotide sequences is under the control of a separate regulatory region (eg, containing a dual construct). Alternatively, two or more nucleotide sequences may be introduced into a plant, plant part, or plant cell in separate vectors (eg, containing single constructs), and each vector contains corresponding regulatory regions for expression of the corresponding nucleic acid. For example, two nucleotide sequences, each in a separate vector and introduced into separate Agrobacterium tumefaciens hosts, can be co-expressed by mixing suspensions of each A. tumefaciens host in the desired volume (for example, the equal volume or ratio of each A. tumefaciens host can be changed) before vacuum infiltration. Thus, co-infiltration of multiple A. tumifaciens suspensions allows the coexpression of multiple transgenes.

[00237] A nucleic acid encoding a mutant influenza HA as described herein may further comprise sequences that enhance expression of the mutant influenza HA in a plant, part of a plant, or plant cell. Sequences that enhance expression may include a cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) enhancer element operably linked to a nucleic acid encoding a mutant influenza HA protein.

[00238] A nucleic acid containing a nucleotide sequence encoding a modified influenza hemagglutinin (HA) protein, as described herein, may further contain sequences that enhance expression of the HA protein in a plant, part of a plant, or plant cell. Sequences that enhance expression may include a CPMV enhancer element or a plant-derived expression enhancer in operative association with a nucleic acid encoding a modified influenza hemagglutinin (HA) protein. The modified influenza hemagglutinin (HA) coding sequence may also be optimized for human codon frequency, increased GC content, or a combination of both.

[00239] As used herein, the term “CPMV enhancer element” refers to a nucleotide sequence encoding the 5'UTR regulating cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) RNA2 polypeptide or a modified CPMV sequence, as is known in the art. For example, a CPMV enhancer element or a CPMV expression enhancer includes a nucleotide sequence as described in international application publication WO 2015/14367; WO 2015/103704; WO 2007/135480; WO 2009/087391; Sainsbury F., and Lomonossoff G.P., (2008, Plant Physiol. 148: pp. 1212-1218), each of which is incorporated herein by reference. CPMV enhancer sequences can enhance the expression of a heterologous open reading frame (ORF) downstream to which they are attached. The CPMV expression enhancer may include CPMV HT, CPMVX (where X=160, 155, 150, 114), e.g. CPMV 160, CPMVX+ (where X=160, 155, 150, 114), e.g. CPMV 160+, CPMV -HT+, CPMV HT+[WT115] or CPMV HT+[511] (International Application Publications WO 2015/143567; WO 2015/103704, which are incorporated herein by reference). The CPMV expression enhancer can be used in a plant expression system comprising a regulatory region that is operably linked to a CPMV expression enhancer sequence and a nucleotide sequence of interest.

[00240] As used herein, the term “CPMV enhancer element” refers to a nucleotide sequence encoding the 5'UTR regulating cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) RNA2 polypeptide or a modified CPMV sequence, as is known in the art.

CPMV enhancer sequences can enhance the expression of a heterologous open reading frame (ORF) downstream to which they are attached. The CPMV expression enhancer may include CPMV HT, CPMVX, CPMVX+, CPMV-HT+, CPMV HT+[WT115] or CPMV HT+[511] (International Application Publications WO 2015/14367; WO 2015/103704, which are incorporated herein by links). The CPMV expression enhancer can be used in a plant expression system comprising a regulatory region that is operably linked to a CPMV expression enhancer sequence and a nucleotide sequence of interest.

[00241] The term "5'UTR" or "5' untranslated region" or "5' leader sequence" refers to regions of mRNA that are not translated. The 5'UTR typically begins at the transcription start site and ends immediately before the translation start site or start codon of the coding region. The 5'UTR can modulate the stability and/or translation of an mRNA transcript.

[00242] As used herein, the term “plant-derived expression enhancer” refers to a nucleotide sequence derived from a plant, a nucleotide sequence encoding a 5'UTR. Examples of a plant-derived expression enhancer are described in US Provisional Application No. 62/643,053 (filed March 14, 2018; which is incorporated herein by reference) or Diamos A.G. et al. (2016, Front Pit Sci. 7: 1-15; which is incorporated herein by reference). The plant-derived expression enhancer may be selected from nbMT78, nbATL75, nbDJ46, nbCHP79, nbEN42, atHSP69, atGRP62, atPK65, atRP46, nb30S72, nbGT61, nbPV55, nbPPI43, nbPM64 and nbH2A, as described in US 62/533 A). A plant-derived expression enhancer may be used in a plant expression system comprising a regulatory region that is operably linked to a plant-derived expression enhancer sequence and a nucleotide sequence of interest.

[00243] By “operably linked” is meant that the particular sequences interact either directly or indirectly to perform an intended function, such as mediating or modulating the expression of a nucleic acid sequence. Interactions of operably linked sequences may, for example, be mediated by proteins that interact with operably linked sequences.

[00244] When one or more mutant influenza HA proteins are expressed in a plant, part of a plant, or plant cell, the one or more mutant influenza HA proteins self-assemble into a VLP. A plant, plant part, or plant cell can be collected under suitable extraction and purification conditions to maintain the integrity of the VLP, and VLPs containing one or more mutant influenza HAs can be purified.

[00245] The present invention also provides for the use of mutant influenza HA or a VLP containing mutant influenza HA, as described herein, to induce immunity to influenza infection in a subject. Also disclosed herein is an antibody or antibody fragment produced by administering a mutant influenza HA or a VLP containing a mutant influenza HA to a subject or animal host. In addition, a composition is provided containing an effective dose of mutant influenza HA or a VLP containing mutant influenza HA, as described herein, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, excipient or excipient for inducing an immune response in a subject. Also provided is a vaccine for inducing an immune response in a subject that contains an effective dose of mutant HA influenza.

[00246] Also provided herein are methods of inducing immunity to influenza infection in a subject comprising administering to the subject a mutant influenza HA or a VLP containing a mutant influenza HA orally, intranasally, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, intravenously or subcutaneously.

[00247] As used herein, the term “influenza virus” refers to a strain of enveloped viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae that is characterized by a negative-directed single-stranded RNA genome. The influenza virus genome contains eight gene segments encoding 12-14 proteins, depending on the strain.

[00248] There are four types of influenza virus: A, B, C and D, of which influenza A or B are the causative agents of seasonal epidemics of disease in humans. Influenza A is further classified based on the expression of HA and neuraminidase (NA) glycoprotein subtypes.

[00249] As used herein, the term “hemagglutinin” or “HA” refers to a trimeric lectin that facilitates the binding of an influenza virus particle to sialic acid-containing proteins on the surface of target cells and mediates the release of the viral genome into the target cell. There are 18 different subtypes of AN (H1-H18). HA proteins consist of two structural elements: the head, which is the main target of seroprotective antibodies; and legs. HA is translated as a single polypeptide, HA0 (assembled as trimers), which must be cleaved by a serine endoprotease between the HA1 (~40 kDa) and HA2 (~20 kDa) subdomains. After cleavage, the two disulfide-linked domains of the protein adopt the required conformation required for viral infectivity.

[00250] Influenza A HA proteins or modified influenza A HA proteins, as disclosed herein, include any known HA proteins derived from any known influenza A strain, as well as modifications of known influenza A strains that have evolved over time. For example, influenza HA may originate from A/Hong Kong/4801/14 (H3N2), A/Minnesota/40/15 (H3N2), A/South Australia/1/16 (H3N2), A/Bangkok/3007/15 ( H3N2), A/Switzerland/9715293/13 (H3N2), A/Mississippi/16/16 (H3N2) or A/Pennsylvania/09/2015 (H3N2). Influenza A HA may include HA derived from strains wherein the HA has amino acid sequence identity of approximately 30-100%, or any number therebetween, to any HA derived from influenza A strains listed above, provided that that the influenza HA protein contains at least one substitution as described herein and is capable of forming a VLP, inducing an immune response when administered to a subject, inducing hemagglutination, or a combination thereof.

[00251] For example, influenza HA proteins may have amino acid sequence identities (sequence similarity, percent identity, percent similarity) of 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54 , 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100% or any number between them, with respect to any HA derived from the above influenza A strains, and contain at least one substitution as described herein, and are capable of forming VLPs, inducing an immune response when administered to a subject, inducing hemagglutination, or a combination thereof. An amino acid sequence alignment of several influenza A HA domains, which should not be considered limiting, is shown in FIG. 1.

[00252] The terms "percentage similarity", "sequence similarity", "percentage identity" or "sequence identity" when they refer to a specific sequence are used, for example, as set forth in the University of Wisconsin GCG software, or by manual and visual alignment inspection (see, for example, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Ausubel et al., eds. 1995, appendix). Methods for aligning sequences for comparison are well known in the art. Optimal sequence alignment for comparison can be made, for example, using the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, (1981, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482), using the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, (1970, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443), the similarity search method of Pearson & Lipman, (1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444), using computerized implementations of these algorithms (for example, GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA and TFASTA in a software package Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group (GCG), 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.).

[00253] An example of an algorithm suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity is the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al., (1977, Nuc. Acids Res. 25: 3389-3402) and Altschul et al. (1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-410), respectively. BLAST and BLAST 2.0 are used with the parameters described herein to determine the percent sequence identity of nucleic acids and proteins of the present invention. For example, the BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) might use a default word length (W) of 11, expected value (E) of 10, M=5, N=-4, and comparison of both strands. For amino acid sequences, the BLASTP program may use a default word length of 3 and an expectation (E) of 10, as well as a BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff & Henikoff, 1989, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89: 10915) alignment (B) 50, mathematical expectation (Ε) 10, Μ=5, Ν=-4, and comparison of both circuits. BLAST analysis software is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (see URL: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/).

[00254] As used herein, the term "virus-like particle", VLP, "virus-like particles" or "VLP" refers to influenza virus particles that contain one or more influenza HA proteins and that self-assemble into non-replicating, non-infectious viral capsid structures, lacking all parts of the influenza genome.

Production of Influenza HA Protein in Plants Influenza A HA protein includes any HA protein containing an amino acid sequence having sequence identity or sequence similarity of from about 30 to about 100%, from about 40 to about 100%, from about 50 to about 100%, from about 60 to about 100%, from about 70 to about 100%, from about 80 to about 100%, from about 85 to about 100%, from about 90 to about 100%, from 95 to about 100%, or from about 97 to about 100%, from about 98 to about 100%, or any number therebetween, relative to the influenza A HA sequence of A/Hong Kong/4801/14 (H3N2, SEQ ID NO: 92), A/Minnesota /40/15 (H3N2, SEQ ID NO: 93), A/South Australia/1/16 (H3N2, SEQ ID NO: 94), A/Bangkok/3007/15 (H3N2, SEQ ID NO: 91), A /Switzerland/9715293/13 (H3N2, SEQ ID NO: 96), A/Mississippi/16/16 (H3N2, SEQ ID NO: 97) and A/Pennsylvania/09/2015 (H3N2, SEQ ID NO: 95), provided that the influenza HA protein contains at least one substitution as described herein and is capable of forming a VLP, causes an immune response when administered to a subject, causes hemagglutination, or a combination thereof.

[00255] Additionally, a modified influenza HA protein includes any HA protein comprising an amino acid sequence having sequence identity or sequence similarity of from about 30% to about 100%, from about 40% to about 100%, from about 50 % to about 100%, from about 60%. to about 100%, from about 70% to about 100%, from about 80% to about 100%, from about 85% to about 100%, from about 90% to about 100%, from 95% to about 100%, or from about 97% to about 100%, about 98% to about 100%, or any number therebetween, relative to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 25, SEQ ID NO: 30, SEQ ID NO: 35, SEQ ID NO: 39, SEQ ID NO: 43, SEQ ID NO: 47, SEQ ID NO: 49, SEQ ID NO: 53, SEQ ID NO: 57, SEQ ID NO: 59, SEQ ID NO: 61, SEQ ID NO: 82, SEQ ID NO: 84, SEQ ID NO: 86, SEQ ID NO: 88, SEQ ID NO: 90, provided that the influenza HA protein contains at least one substitution as described herein and is capable of forming VLPs, causes an immune response, when administered to a subject, induces hemagglutination or a combination thereof.

[00256] As described herein, one or more specific mutations or modifications of influenza HA result in increased accumulation of HA protein and increased VLP production in plants compared to wild-type influenza HA.

[00257] Examples of mutant influenza A HA proteins characterized by increased production of influenza virus HA and/or VLPs in plants include, but are not limited to, the following:

Induction of immunity against influenza infection

[00258] “Immune response” generally refers to the response of the adaptive immune system of a subject. The adaptive immune system generally includes a humoral response and a cell-mediated response. The humoral response is an aspect of immunity that is mediated by secreted antibodies produced by cells of the B lymphocyte lineage (B cells). Secreted antibodies bind to antigens on the surface of invading microbes (such as viruses or bacteria), indicating their destruction. Humoral immunity is generally used to refer to the production of antibodies and the processes that accompany it, as well as the effector functions of antibodies, including Th2 cell activation and cytokine production, memory cell formation, opsonin stimulation of phagocytosis, pathogen elimination, etc. The terms “modulate” or “modulation” or the like refer to an increase or decrease in a particular response or parameter, as determined by any of several commonly known or used assays, some of which are provided herein as examples.

[00259] A cell-mediated response is an immune response that does not involve antibodies, but rather involves the activation of macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen. Cell-mediated immunity is generally used to refer to some Th cell activation, Tc cell activation, and T cell-mediated responses. Cellular immunity may be of particular importance in response to viral infections.

[00260] For example, the induction of antigen-specific CD8-positive T lymphocytes can be measured using an ELISPOT assay; stimulation of CD4-positive T lymphocytes can be measured using a proliferation assay. Influenza HA antibody titers can be quantified using an ELISA assay; Isotypes of antigen-specific or cross-reactive antibodies can also be measured using anti-isotype antibodies (eg, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgM). Methods and techniques for performing such assays are well known in the art.

[00261] The presence or levels of cytokines can also be quantified. For example, the T helper cell (Th1/Th2) response will be characterized by measuring cells secreting IFN-β and IL-4 using ELISA (eg, BD Biosciences OptEIA kits). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or splenocytes obtained from the subject can be cultured and the supernatant analyzed. T lymphocytes can also be quantified by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) using fluorescent marker tags and methods known in the art.

[00262] Microneutralization assays can also be performed to characterize the immune response in a subject, see, for example, the methods of Rowe et al., 1973. Viral neutralization titers can be quantified in several ways, including: counting hemolytic plaque lysis (plaque assay) after cell fixation/staining with crystal violet; study under a microscope of cell lysis in culture in vitro and 2) ELISA and spectrophotometric determination of the influenza virus.

[00263] As used herein, the term “epitope” or “epitopes” refers to the structural portion of an antigen to which an antibody specifically binds.

[00264] Immune responses elicited in response to administration of wild-type influenza HA proteins or VLPs or mutant influenza HA proteins or plant-derived VLPs can, for example, be observed in Balb/C mice. Serum samples collected from animals can be analyzed by ELISA for H3-specific total IgG and IgA antibodies. Mice immunized with wild-type influenza HA proteins or mutant plant-derived influenza HA proteins can exhibit HA-specific IgG antibody titers in the sera for each treatment group.

Expression in plants

[00265] The constructs of the present invention can be introduced into plant cells using Ti plasmids, Ri plasmids, plant virus vectors, direct DNA transformation, microinjection, electroporation, etc. For reviews of such methods, see, for example, Weissbach and Weissbach, Methods for Plant Molecular Biology, Academy Press, New York VIII, pp. 421-463 (1988); Geierson and Corey, Plant Molecular Biology, 2d Ed. (1988) and Miki and Iyer, Fundamentals of Gene Transfer in Plants. In Plant Metabolism, 2d Ed. D.T. Dennis, D. H. Turpin, D. D. Lefebrevre, D. B. Layzell (eds), Addison Wesly, Langmans Ltd. London, pp. 561-579 (1997). Other methods include direct DNA uptake, liposomes, electroporation such as using protoplasts, microinjection, microparticles or whiskers, and vacuum infiltration. See, for example, Bilang, et al. (1991, Gene 100: 247-250), Scheid et al. (1991, Mol. Gen. Genet. 228: 104-112), Guerche et al. (1987, Plant Science 52: 111-116), Neuhause et al. (1987, Theor.

(1989, Plant Physiology 91: 694-701), Techniques in Plant Molecular Biology (Weissbach and Weissbach, eds., Academic Press Inc., 1988), Techniques in Plant Molecular Biology (Schuler and Zielinski, eds., Academic Press Inc., 1989), publication of international application WO 92/09696, WO 94/00583, European patents EP 331083, EP 175966, Liu and Lomonossoff (2002, J Virol Meth, 105: 343-348), European patent EP 290395; publication of international application WO 8706614; US Patents No. 4,945,050; 5,036,006 and 5,100,792, US Patent Application No. 08/438666, filed May 10, 1995, and 07/951715, filed September 25, 1992 (all of which are incorporated herein by reference).

[00266] Transient expression methods can be used to express constructs of the present invention (see D'Aoust et al., 2009, Methods in molecular biology, Vol 483, pages 41-50; Liu and Lomonossoff, 2002, Journal of Virological Methods , 105:343-348, which are incorporated herein by reference). Alternatively, a vacuum-based transient expression method as described in Kapila et al. (1997, Plant Sci. 122, 101-108; which is incorporated herein by reference) or international application publications WO 00/063400, WO 00/037663 (which are incorporated herein by reference). These methods may include, for example, without limitation, agroinoculation or agroinfiltration, syringe infiltration, however, as noted above, other temporary methods may also be used. During agroinoculation, agroinfiltration or syringe infiltration, a mixture of agrobacteria containing the desired nucleic acid penetrates into the intercellular spaces of the tissue, for example, into the leaves, the aerial part of the plant (including the stem, leaves and flower), and other parts of the plant (stem, root, flower) or the whole plant. After crossing the epidermis, Agrobacterium infects and transfers copies of t-DNA into cells. t-DNA is transcribed episomally and mRNA is translated, resulting in the production of the protein of interest in infected cells, but passage of t-DNA within the nucleus is transient.

[00267] Also contemplated by the present invention are transgenic plants, plant cells or seeds containing a gene construct of the present invention that can be used as platform plants suitable for the transient protein expression described herein. Methods for regenerating whole plants from plant cells are also known in the art (for example, see Guerineau and Mullineaux (1993, Plant transformation and expression vectors. In: Plant Molecular Biology Labfax (Croy RRD ed) Oxford, BIOS Scientific Publishers, pp. 121- 148) Typically, the transformed plant cells are cultured in a suitable medium, which may contain selective agents such as antibiotics, with selectable markers being used to facilitate identification of the transformed plant cells.Once callus is formed, shoot formation can be stimulated using appropriate plant hormones according to known methods, and the shoots are transferred to a rooting medium to regenerate the plants.The plants can then be used to create repeat generations either from seed or using vegetative propagation methods.Transgenic plants can also be produced without the use of tissue culture. Methods for stable transformation and regeneration of these organisms are known in the art and are known to one skilled in the art. Available methods are reviewed in Vasil et al. (Cell Culture and Somatic Cell Genetics of Plants, VoI I, II and III, Laboratory Procedures and Their Applications, Academic Press, 1984) and Weissbach and Weissbach (Methods for Plant Molecular Biology, Academic Press, 1989). The method of obtaining transformed and regenerated plants is not critical to the present invention.

[00268] If plants, plant parts, or plant cells are to be transformed or cotransformed with two or more nucleic acid constructs, the nucleic acid construct can be introduced into Agrobacterium in a single transfection step such that the nucleic acids are combined and the bacterial cells are transfected. Alternatively, constructs can be introduced serially. In this case, the first construct is introduced into Agrobacterium as described, and the cells are grown under selective conditions (eg, in the presence of an antibiotic) where only singly transformed bacteria can grow. After this first selection step, a second nucleic acid construct is introduced into the Agrobacterium as described, and the cells are grown under double selection conditions in which only the doubly transformed bacteria can grow. The doubly transformed bacteria can then be used to transform a plant, part of a plant, or a plant cell as described herein, or may be subjected to an additional transformation step to accommodate a third nucleic acid construct.

[00269] Alternatively, if plants, plant parts, or plant cells are to be transformed or cotransformed with two or more nucleic acid constructs, the nucleic acid construct can be introduced into the plant by co-infiltrating a mixture of Agrobacterium cells of the plant, plant part, or plant cell, each Agrobacterium cell may contain one or more structures for introduction into the plant. To change the relative levels of expression in a plant, plant part, or plant cell of a nucleotide sequence of interest within a construct during the infiltration step, the concentration of different populations of Agrobacteria containing the desired constructs can be varied.

[00270] The present invention will be further illustrated by the following examples.

Example 1. Influenza HA constructs

[00271] Influenza HA constructs were prepared using methods well known in the art. For example, wild-type H3 A-Switzerland/9715293/13 HA, N382A A/Switzerland/9715293/13 H3 HA, and CysTM A-Switzerland-9715293-13 were cloned as described below. Other H3 HA mutants were produced using similar methods, and the primers, templates and HA sequence products are described in Example 3 (Production of HA and Influenza VLPs in Plants) and Table 4.

[00272] A summary of wild-type and mutant HA proteins, primers, templates, and products is presented in Table 4 below. For influenza H3 constructs other than the A/Switzerland/9715293/13 HA H3 proteins that are cloned into the M2-less 1190 cloning vector, the cloning vector used integrates the influenza M2 ion channel gene under the control of the alfalfa plastocyanin promoter and terminator in addition to the expression cassette based on promoter 2X35S/CPMV 160+CPMV 3'UTR/NOS.

A representation of plasmid 2811 is shown in FIG. 8K.

Example 2: Methods

Transfection of Agrobacterium tumefaciens

[00276] Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain AGL1 was transfected by electroporation with wild-type influenza HA or mutant influenza HA expression vectors using methods described by D'Aoust et al., 2008 (Plant Biotech. J. 6:930-40). Transfected Agrobacterium were grown in YEB medium supplemented with 10 mM 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES), 20 μM acetosyringone, 50 μg/ml kanamycin and 25 μg/ml carbenicillin with pH 5.6 to OD ₆₀₀ from 0.6 up to 1.6. Agrobacterium suspensions were centrifuged and resuspended in infiltration medium (10 mM MgCl ₂ and 10 mM MES pH 5.6) before use.

Preparation of plant biomass, inoculum and agroinfiltration

[00277] N. benthamiana plants were grown from seeds on level surfaces filled with a commercial peat moss substrate. Plants were allowed to grow in a greenhouse with a photoperiod of 16/8 and a temperature regime of 25°C during the day/20°C at night. Three weeks after sowing, individual seedlings were collected, transplanted into pots, and left to grow in the greenhouse for a further three weeks under the same environmental conditions.

[00278] Agrobacteria transfected with each wild-type influenza HA or mutant influenza HA expression vector were grown in YEB medium supplemented with 10 mM 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES), 20 μM acetosyringone, 50 μg/ml kanamycin, and 25 µM µg/ml carbenicillin pH 5.6 until they reached an OD ₆₀₀ of 0.6 to 1.6. Agrobacterium suspensions were centrifuged before use and resuspended in infiltration medium (10 mM MgCl ₂ and 10 mM MES pH 5.6) and stored overnight at 4°C. On the day of infiltration, batches of cultures were diluted to 2.5 culture volumes and allowed to warm before use. Whole N. benthamiana plants were placed upside down in a bacterial suspension in a sealed stainless steel tank under a vacuum of 20–40 mmHg. for 2 min. Plants were returned to the greenhouse for a 6- or 9-day incubation period before harvest.

Leaf collection and total protein extraction

[00279] Proteins were extracted from fresh biomass cut into ~1 cm ² pieces by enzymatic extraction overnight at room temperature using an orbital shaker. The suspension was then filtered through a large pore nylon filter to remove coarse, undegraded plant tissue.

[00280] To obtain “full process yields,” the suspension was centrifuged to remove protoplasts and intracellular contaminants. The supernatant was purified by deep filtration. The clarified fraction was then loaded through a cation exchange column with a stepwise elution step of increasing concentrations of NaCl. Purified VLPs were concentrated with TFF, diafiltered against formulation buffer, and passed through a filter. The protein content of the purified VLPs was analyzed by BCA assay, and activity was analyzed by hemagglutination assay. Relative yields were obtained by comparing protein yields from the new construct and the native construct (or with CysTM for H3 strains) used as a control

[00281] To obtain “density gradient yields,” the suspension was centrifuged to remove protoplasts and intracellular contaminants. The supernatant was further centrifuged to remove additional particles. The supernatant was clarified by deep filtration using a glass fiber filter. The clarified fraction was then loaded onto a discontinuous iodixanol density gradient. Density gradient centrifugation was performed as follows: Prepare 38 ml tubes containing a discontinuous density gradient of iodixanol in Tris buffer (successive layers of 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15, 10% and 5%) which covered with clarified extract. The gradients were centrifuged at 120,000 g for 2 hours (4°C). After centrifugation, the first 5 ml collected from bottom to top were discarded and the next 5 ml were collected for protein content analysis (BCA), activity measurement (hemagglutination assay) and measurement of the intensity of the HA0 band on SDS-PAGE under reduced conditions (densitometry). Relative yields were obtained by comparing the intensity of the HA0 band from the new construct with the native construct (or CysTM for H3 strains) used as a control.

Hemagglutination assay

[00282] The hemagglutination assay was based on the method described by Nayak and Reichl (2004). Briefly, serial twofold dilutions of test samples (100 μl) were performed in 96-well V-bottom microtiter plates containing 100 μl PBS, leaving 100 μl of diluted sample per well. One hundred microliters of 0.5% guinea pig red blood cell suspension (Bio Link Inc., Syracuse, NY) was added to each well, and the plates were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. The reciprocal of the highest dilution indicating complete hemagglutination was recorded as HA activity. In parallel, recombinant HA standard (A/Vietnam/1203/2004 H5N1) (Protein Science Corporation, Meriden, CT) was diluted in PBS and used as a control on each plate.

Protein analysis and immunoblotting

[00283] Immunoblotting was performed on the first incubation with the primary monoclonal antibody diluted 1/500 in 2% skim milk in 0.1% TBS-Tween 20. Peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse antibody (Jackson Immunoresearch, catalog number 115-035- 146), diluted 1/10,000, were used as secondary antibodies to detect chemiluminescence in 2% skim milk in TBS-Tween 20 0.1%. Immunoreactive complexes were detected by chemiluminescence using luminol as a substrate (Roche Diagnostics Corporation). Conjugation of human IgG antibody to horseradish peroxidase enzyme was performed using the EZ-Link Plus® Activated Peroxidase Conjugation Kit (Pierce, Rockford, Ill.).
