Definitions
- Lymphokines are naturally-occurring polypeptides, produced by normal lymphocytes, which mediate the host's immune response to antigenic challenge.
- a particular lymphokine, interleukin-2 appears to promote the host's immune response and has potential value in the treatment of tumors, immuno-deficiency diseases and several other clinical conditions, and as an adjuvant for vaccine administration.
- Interleukin-2 appears to act as a potent mitogen for T lymphocytes. At present, only limited quantities of interleukin-2 are obtained by separation from human serum or from certain human cell tissue culture media. It is therefore of great scientific and clinical importance to be able to produce sufficiently large quantities of interleukin-2. Economic, efficient methods for producing a product having the properties of mature human interleukin-2 have therefore become significant goals.
- Kurjan and Herskowitz, Cell (1982) 30:933-934 describe a putative ⁇ -factor precursor containing four tandem copies of mature ⁇ -factor, describing the sequence and postulating a processing mechanism.
- Robb et al. (1983) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 80:5990-5994 describe a partial amino acid sequence from the N-terminal region of mature human interleukin-2 isolated from JURKAT cell tissue culture medium.
- Novel methods and DNA constructs are provided for the production of polypeptides having biological activity analogous to interleukin-2 (IL2) .
- IL2 interleukin-2
- Enhanced efficiency in production of the polypeptide is achieved, in part, by the complete synthesis of the structural gene employing codons preferentially utilized by yeast, the intended host. Desirably, at least about 50%, usually, at least about 60% of the codons are modified such that most of the codons of the structural gene are those preferentially utilized by yeast.
- the construct includes a replication system for yeast and the structural gene joined in reading frame to secretory and processing signals recognized by yeast.
- the yeast host transformant provides for efficient and economic production of a product useful as interleukin-2.

- IL2 interleukin-2
- polypeptide (s) it is intended to include not only the naturally occurring mammalian factors, but also fragments or analogs thereof exhibiting analogous biological activity.
- These DNA fragments can be incorporated into vectors, and the resulting plasmids used to transform susceptible hosts. Transformation of a susceptible host with such recombinant plasmids results in expression of the IL2 gene and production of a mature polypeptide product having the physiological and immunological activity of IL2. That is, it acts in the same manner as IL2 isolated from either a rat or a human host in recognized bioassays.
- Extrachromosomal constructs having as essential elements for expression of mature polypeptides, a replication system recognized by yeast, a synthetic structural gene having a plurality of codons preferentially utilized by yeast, the structural gene being in reading frame with efficient secretory leader and processing signals to provide for the efficient secretion and processing of the polypeptide in a yeast host, and production of a product in high yield which has biological, particularly immunological and physiological activity commensurate with human interleukin-2.
- the construct provides for the initial formation of "pre”-IL2.
- pre-IL2 it is meant that the DNA sequence encoding the mature polypeptide is joined to and in reading frame with a leader sequence including processing signals efficiently recognized by the yeast host.
- pre denotes the inclusion of secretory leader and processing signals sequences (on the precursor polypeptide) recognized by yeast and does not refer to any processing signals associated with the natural human IL2 gene.
- the IL2 structural gene of this invention is synthetic DNA, which is prepared using codons preferred by yeast as evidenced by the codon frequency in structural genes encoding for yeast glycolytic enzymes.
- the secretory leader and processing signals are conveniently derived from naturally-occurring DNA sequences in yeast, which sequences provide for the secretion and processing of polypeptide (s).
- polypeptides which are naturally secreted by yeast include ⁇ -factor, a-factor, acid phosphatase, and the like.
- the remaining sequences in the construct, including the replication system, promoter, and terminator, are well known and amply described in the literature.
- DNA constructs of the present invention it is necessary to bring the individual DNA sequences embodying the structural gene, the secretory leader and processing signals, replication system, promoter, and terminator together in a predetermined order to assure that they are able to properly function in the resulting plasmid. Since the various DNA sequences which are joined to form the DNA construct of the present invention will be derived from diverse sources, in some instances it will be convenient or necessary to join the sequences by means of connecting or adaptor molecules, which in the subject invention are incorporated into the synthetic gene.
- a pre-existing vector which includes a multicopy number yeast replication system, a bacterial replication system, appropriate markers for selection, as well as a promoter, transcriptional terminator and modified leader sequence associated with the secretion of ⁇ -factor. See copending application Serial No. 522,909, filed August 12, 1983.
- the structural gene encoding for IL2 is prepared by first preparing a series of single stranded fragments ranging in number of from about 10 to 40, conveniently 14 to 34 bases, which provide for overlapping of other fragments and overhangs, so that upon bringing together the fragments under ligating conditions, dsDNA is produced having appropriate cohesive ends.
- a 5'- and 3'-fragment were prepared and then combined to provide for a structural gene encoding the entire amino acid sequence of IL2 and providing for appropriate termini for linking to restriction sites in the vector, which provide for the structural gene being in frame with the secretory leader sequence.
- Each of the fragments encoding for the gene - 5 '-fragment and 3 '-fragment with flanking regions as appropriate - may be cloned and amplified in an appropriate vector to expand the amount of the fragment and to ensure its integrity.
- the 5' -fragment is inserted downstream from transcriptional regulatory signals for transcription initiation and a secretory leader sequence which includes a convenient restriction site at or about the processing signal.
- the termini of the fragment can be tailored to fulfill the requirements necessary for subsequent processing steps.
- its 5' -terminus is designed to join to the secretory leader sequence and processing signal in reading frame and to replace any nucleotides which have been lost due to restriction or other processing of the nucleotide sequence encoding for the secretory leader and processing signal.
- a restriction site can be chosen which is internal to the coding region for the secretory leader and processing signal.
- the 5'-fragment in the 3'-direction beyond the site where the 5' -fragment and 3 '-fragment are to be linked. In this way, a convenient 3' -terminus of the 5' -fragment is present for joining to the vector 5' -terminus. The extension is then removed by restriction to provide a 3' -terminus of the 5 '-fragment which is complementary to the 5 '-terminus of the 3 '-fragment.
- Parallel manipulations may be employed with the 3' -fragment to provide for appropriate restriction sites and termini for joining to a vector and to the 5' -fragment, as well as supplying nucleotides in the 3 ' -non-coding region associated with termination of transcription and translation.
- this new fragment After cloning the synthetic 5' -fragment in the vector containing the secretory leader sequence, a new extended 5' -fragment is excised.
- the new 5 ' -fragment has its 5 ' -end beginning with the transcriptional regulatory signals controlling the transcription of the secretory leader sequence and processing signal, followed by the synthetic 5 '-fragment in reading frame with the secretory leader sequence.
- this new fragment now includes the promoter and other associated transcriptional regulatory sequences, such as the TATA box and capping sequence, as well as any other sequences involved in the efficient transcription of ⁇ -factor.
- the fragment is obtained which has all the necessary transcriptional regulatory functions, the secretory leader and processing signal, the 5 '-end of the IL2 structural gene and a cohesive end or blunt end for ligating to the 5 '-terminus of the 3 '-fragment.
- the 3 '-half of the IL2 is inserted into an appropriate vector for cloning.
- the resulting plasmid has a unique restriction site at the 5 '-end of the 3 '-fragment resulting in cohesive termini when cut, and appropriate transcriptional termination sequences downstream, such as a terminator and polyadenylation signal.
- the fragment to be inserted conveniently has the same cohesive termini.
- the plasmid is treated with phosphatase.
- the fragment containing the transcriptional regulatory signals and 5 ' -end of the IL2 structural gene is then inserted into the phosphatase-treated plasmid for bacterial transformation and subsequently excised and ligated to provide for a plasmid capable of transforming a yeast host efficiently, being multicopy, and providing for the efficient secretion of the polypeptide encoded by the IL2 gene.
- homologous promoter associated with the secretory leader sequence may be used, it may also be replaced with other promoters or may be used in tandem with other promoters.
- Promoters of particular interest include acid phosphatase and those promoters involved with enzymes in the glycolytic pathway, such as promoters for alcohol dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, triose phosphate isomerase, phosphoglucoisomerase, phosphofructokinase, etc.
- promoters By employing these promoters with regulatory sequences, such as enhancers, operators, etc., and using a host having an intact regulatory system, one can regulate the expression of the "pre"-IL2, and various small organic molecules, e.g., glucose, may be employed for the regulation of production of the desired polypeptide.
- regulatory sequences such as enhancers, operators, etc.
- small organic molecules e.g., glucose
- temperature controlled sytems e.g., temperature-sensitive regulatory mutants which allow for modulation of transcription by varying the temperature.

- plasmids may be obtained which have a plurality of repeating sequences, which sequences include the "pre"-polypeptide gene with its regulatory sequences.
- Illustrative genes include metallothioneins and dihydrofolate reductase.
- the construct may include, in addition to the secretory leader and processing signal sequence, other DNA homologous to the host genome. If it is desired that there be integration of the IL2 gene into the chromosome (s) , integration can be enhanced by providing for sequences flanking the IL2 gene construct which are homologous to host chromosomal DNA.
- the replication system which is employed will be recognized by the yeast host. Therefore, it is desirable that the replication system be native to the yeast host.

- YEp plasmids which contain the 2 ⁇ m plasmid replication system. These plasmids are stably maintained at multiple copy number.
- ARSa and CEN4 may be used to provide for stable maintenance.
- the plasmids may be introduced into the yeast host by any convenient means, employing yeast host cells or spheroplasts and using DNA for transformation, or liposomes, or calcium precipitated DNA or other conventional technique.
- the modified hosts may be selected in accordance with the genetic markers which are usually provided in a vector used to construct the expression plasmid.
- An auxotrophic host may be employed, where the plasmid has a gene which complements the host and provides prototrophy.
- resistance to an appropriate biocide e.g., antibiotic, heavy metal, toxin, or the like, may be included as a marker in the plasmid.
- Selection may then be achieved by employing a nutrient medium which stresses the parent cells, so as to select for the cells containing the plasmid.
- the plasmid containing cells may then be grown in an appropriate nutrient medium, and the desired secreted polypeptide isolated in accordance with conventional techniques.
- the polypeptide may be purified by chromatography, filtration, extraction, etc. Since the polypeptide will be present in mature form in the nutrient medium, one can cycle the nutrient medium, continuously removing the desired polypeptide.
