Entsprechende Derivate sind durch dem Fachmann an sich bekannte Verfahren, insbesondere durch Synthese der Peptide an festen Phasen nach Merryfield erhältlich. Alternativ hierzu kann auch das erhaltene Peptid chemisch modifiziert werden. Entsprechende Derivate können stabiler gegenüber einer Proteolyse sein und/ oder veränderter Halbwertszeiten in einem Organismus aufweisen. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform bildet das Cystein in Sequenzposition 3 mit dem Cystein in Position 28, das Cystein in Position 6 mit dem Cystein in Position 15, das Cystein in Position 21 mit dem Cystein in Position 51 oder 55, das Cystein in Position 77 mit dem Cystein in Position 71 oder 72 und/oder das Cystein in Position 51 oder 55 mit dem Cystein in Position 71 oder 72 eine intramolekulare Disulfidbrücke. Dieses Disulfid- muster wurde mittels proteolytischer Spaltung mit verschiedenen Endoproteasen und Sequenzierung der erhaltenen Bruchstücke erhalten. Die entsprechenden Fragmente wurden durch Kombination von Elektrospray-Massenspektroskopie und Proteinsequenzierung nach Edman sequenziert. Sowohl aus menschlichem Hämofiltrat als auch aus Urin gewonnenes LUS-I wiesen identische chromatographische Eigenschaften, Molekulargewichte und Disulfidmuster auf.Corresponding derivatives can be obtained by methods known per se to the person skilled in the art, in particular by synthesis of the peptides on solid phases according to Merryfield.

Mögliche pharmazeutische Darreichungsformen sind insbesondere solche, die dem Fachmann bekannt sind für die intravenöse, intraarterielle, intramuskuläre, orale, nasale oder transpul - monare Applikation. Dabei sind insbesondere solche Darreichungsformen bevorzugt, die einen Abbau der erfindungsgemäßen Peptide durch Proteolyse nach der Verabreichung verhindern oder verzögern. Für eine orale Applikation wird es daher bevorzugt, eine Darreichungsform zu wählen, die die Einwirkung von Verdauungsenzymen auf die erfindungsgemäße Peptide vermeidet. Die zur Herstellung dieser Darreichungsformen zu verwendenen Hilfsstoffe sind dem Fachmann bekannt. Es sind insbesondere solche Hilfsstoffe bevorzugt, die keine toxischen Wirkungen aufweisen.Possible pharmaceutical dosage forms are in particular those which are known to the person skilled in the art for intravenous, intraarterial, intramuscular, oral, nasal or transpulmonary administration. Dosage forms which prevent or delay degradation of the peptides according to the invention by proteolysis after administration are particularly preferred. For oral administration, it is therefore preferred to choose a dosage form which avoids the action of digestive enzymes on the peptides according to the invention. The auxiliaries to be used to prepare these dosage forms are known to the person skilled in the art. Auxiliaries which have no toxic effects are particularly preferred.
Die bevorzugte, zu verabreichende Menge der erfindungsgemäßen Peptide liegt zwischen 1 μg und 1 g pro Dosiseinheit bei einer Verabreichung von 1 bis 5 Dosen des Arzneimittels pro Tag.The preferred amount of the peptides according to the invention to be administered is between 1 μg and 1 g per dose unit when 1 to 5 doses of the drug are administered per day.
Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Nukleinsäuren, die für die erfindungsgemäßen Peptide kodieren, Antisen- senukleotide, die unter stringenten Bedingungen an Nukleinsäu- resequenzen binden, die für die erfindungsgemäßen Peptide kodieren, Antikörper, die an die erfindungsgemäßen Peptide binden, Inhibitoren, die die biologische Aktivität der erfindungsgemäßen Peptide hemmen und Inhibitoren, die die Expression von LUS-I hemmen sowie transgene Säugetiere mit Gendefizienz für LUS-I, die sich insbesondere zur Tumorforschung eignen, zur Untersuchung des Einflusses von LUS-I auf die Bildung und Entwicklung von Tumoren.Further preferred embodiments of the invention are nucleic acids which code for the peptides according to the invention, senucleotides which bind under stringent conditions to nucleic acid sequences which code for the peptides according to the invention, antibodies which bind to the peptides according to the invention, inhibitors which inhibit the biological activity of the peptides according to the invention and inhibitors which inhibit the expression of LUS-I and Transgenic mammals with gene deficiency for LUS-I, which are particularly suitable for tumor research, to investigate the influence of LUS-I on the formation and development of tumors.
Nukleinsäuren, die für die erfindungsgemäßen Peptide kodieren, kann der Fachmann unter Anwendung des genetischen Codes aus der Sequenz der erfindungsgemäßen Peptide ableiten. Für eine Expression in rekombinanten Organismen werden insbesondere solche Codons gewählt, die dem Codon Usage des transformierten Organismus entsprechen. Antisensenucleotide, d.h. Nucleotide, die unter stringenten Bedingungen an die erfindungsgemäßen Nukleinsäurese- quenzen binden, weisen insbesondere solche Sequenzen auf, die mit Teilen der mRNA im ZielSystem eine Bindung eingehen können. Aus der Peptidsequenz kann der Fachmann mit bekannten Methoden die Sequenz der mRNA ermitteln. Beispielsweise können hierzu aus geringvarianten Bereichen Primergemische abgeleitet werden, mit denen mit Hilfe der Polymerasekettenreaktion, die für die erfindungsgemäßen Peptide kodierende mRNA (nach Umschreibung in cDNA mittels reverser Transkriptase) , amplifiziert werden können. Mit bekannten Methoden der DNA-Sequenzierung kann so die Sequenz der mRNA bestimmt werden.The person skilled in the art can derive nucleic acids which code for the peptides according to the invention from the sequence of the peptides according to the invention using the genetic code. For expression in recombinant organisms, those codons are chosen which correspond to the codon usage of the transformed organism. Antisense nucleotides, i.e. Nucleotides which bind to the nucleic acid sequences according to the invention under stringent conditions have, in particular, those sequences which can bind to parts of the mRNA in the target system. The person skilled in the art can determine the sequence of the mRNA from the peptide sequence using known methods. For this purpose, for example, primer mixtures can be derived from small variants, with which the mRNA coding for the peptides according to the invention (after rewriting into cDNA by means of reverse transcriptase) can be amplified with the aid of the polymerase chain reaction. The sequence of the mRNA can thus be determined using known methods of DNA sequencing.
In bevorzugten Ausführungsformen weisen die Antisensenukleotide Modifikationen auf, die den Abbau der Nukleotide durch endogene Substanzen, insbesondere Nukleasen verzögern. Solche Modifikationen sind dem Fachmann bekannt, insbesondere durch Modifikation der Phosphatbindungen wie beispielsweise Thiophosphate, Methylphosphate, H-Phosphonate, Phosphotriester usw.In preferred embodiments, the antisense nucleotides have modifications which delay the degradation of the nucleotides by endogenous substances, in particular nucleases.

Dazu werden die Peptide gegebenenfalls zusammen mit weiteren Hilfsstoffen in mehrwöchigem Abstand den Tieren injiziert und anschließend Antikörpern aus dem Blut isoliert. Bevorzugte Tiere sind hierfür Kaninchen und Mäuse. Durch bekannte Verfahren können aus den antikörperproduzierenden Mäusezellen immortale Zellen erhalten werden, die die Produktion von mono- klonalen Antikörper erlauben.Antibodies that bind to the peptides according to the invention can be obtained in a simple manner by immunizing animals become. For this purpose, the peptides are optionally injected into the animals together with other auxiliary substances at intervals of several weeks, and then antibodies are isolated from the blood. Preferred animals for this are rabbits and mice. Known methods can be used to obtain immortal cells from the antibody-producing mouse cells, which allow the production of monoclonal antibodies.
Inhibitoren, die die biologische Aktivität der Peptide hemmen, sind insbesondere solche, die nicht-kovalent oder kovalent an das Enzym binden. Dies können Antikörper sein oder auch niedermolekulare Moleküle. Inhibitoren, die die Expression von LUS-1 hemmen, sind Substanzen, die die Transkription oder Translation des Genes hemmen. Dies können beispielsweise Antisensennuk- leotide sein.Inhibitors that inhibit the biological activity of the peptides are, in particular, those that bind non-covalently or covalently to the enzyme. These can be antibodies or also small molecules. Inhibitors that inhibit the expression of LUS-1 are substances that inhibit the transcription or translation of the gene. These can be antisense nucleotides, for example.
Die erfindungsgemäßen transgenen Säugetiere mit Gendeffizienz LUS-1 werden nach dem Fachmann bekannten Methoden erhalten. Dabei wird im allgemeinen die homologe Rekombination zwischen DNA-Sequenzen ausgenutzt. Die dazu notwendigen Vektoren lassen sich bei Kenntnis der Gensequenz in einfacher Weise konstruieren. Bei Kenntnis der mRNA-Sequenz kann beispielsweise - ebenfalls durch Polymerasekettenreaktion - das Gen aufgefunden werden und das amplifizierte Genfragment mittels Sequenzierung aufgeklärt werden.The transgenic mammals according to the invention with gene efficiency LUS-1 are obtained by methods known to the person skilled in the art.
