Definitions
- the present invention relates to biomolecules, especially antibodies, which have been modified by insertion of an elastomeric peptide and which thereby exhibit altered characteristics on contraction or extension of the peptide, DNA encoding such biomolecules and methods using such biomolecules.
- Elastomeric structures which are able to reversibly contract and extend are well known in nature, and are found for example in muscles, arteries, lungs, ligaments and skin. The contraction and extension results from alteration of the secondary structure of the molecules which make up the elastomeric structures, for example elastin.
- elastin for example, is composed of repeating hydrophobic monomers, typically (VPGVG) n , where n is as large as 11-13 in pig and chicken.
- Synthetic elastin polymers have been studied extensively by Urry, and the results are reviewed by Urry in “Methods in Enzymology” (1982), Eds. Sidney Colowick, Nathan Kaplan, Academic Press, p673-716; Urry (1992), Prog. Biophys. Molec. Biol., 57, p23-57; and Urry, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl . (1993), 32, p819-841.
- the transition temperature, T m may be manipulated by altering the hydrophobicity of an elastomeric polymer by altering the polymer itself or its environment (Urry et al., 1991, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 113, p4346-4348; Luan et al., 1990, Biopoly ers, 29, pl699-1706) .
- T m may be varied by phosphorylation (Pattanaik et al., 1991, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. , 178, p539- 545) , electrochemical or chemical reduction of a prosthetic group (Urry et al . , 1992, Biochem. Biophys. Res.
- the temperature of a particular system may be maintained at a constant and transition between the different states triggered by alteration of one of the above mentioned parameters such that the transition temperature is below (or above) the temperature of the system and contraction (or extension) occurs.
- a change in pH or pressure may be used to trigger or induce contraction or elongation of an elastomeric peptide.
- Non-peptide polymers have also been identified which exhibit similar properties insofar as environmental parameters, including temperature, may induce a phase transition to form insoluble aggregates above the transition temperature. This also results from hydrophobic interactions (Feil et al . , 1993, Macromolecules, 26, p2496-2500) .

- Such conjugates have been proposed for the separation of the polypeptides from experimental systems using the phase transition and thus resultant insolubility of the collapsed polymer attached to the polypeptide (e.g. in purification) or for drug delivery (Ding et al . , 1996, Bioconjugate Chem., 7, pl21-125; Matsukata et al . , 1996, Bioconjugate Chem., 7, p96-101; Chen & Hoffman, 1995, Macromol. Chem. Phys .
- Elastin polymers are capable of lifting a weight of more than 1000 times their dry weight, performing work and producing motion.
- the energy involved for transition within one monomer, VPGVG is reported to be around 2.0kcal/mol (Chang & Urry, 1988, Chemical Physics Letter, 147, p395-400) .
- the ability of elastomeric peptides to transform heat/chemical energy into motion has been suggested to provide utility for these peptides as elastic biomolecular machines in drug delivery, biomolecular desalination and as mechanochemical engines etc. (Urry, 1993, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl . , 32, p819-841; Urry,
- the present invention provides a biomolecule containing a functional moiety and at least one inserted amino acid sequence comprising an elastomeric peptide which is contractable under appropriate changes in one or more environmental parameters, wherein the functional moiety exhibits altered properties or characteristics on induction of contraction or extension of the inserted sequence.
- this aspect of the invention provides a biomolecule containing a first part into which at least one amino acid sequence comprising an elastomeric peptide which is contractable under appropriate changes in one or more environmental parameters is inserted, wherein said first part exhibits altered properties or characteristics on induction of contraction or extension of the inserted sequence, or alternatively a modified biomolecule modified by insertion of at least one amino acid sequence comprising an elastomeric peptide which is contractable under appropriate changes in one or more environmental parameters, wherein said biomolecule exhibits altered properties or characteristics on induction of contraction or extension of the inserted sequence.
- elastomeric polymers As mentioned previously only large elastomeric polymers have been contemplated as having any utility and these have been used in such applications as drug delivery or as prosthetic materials (e.g. vascular prostheses) .
- This perceived limitation has necessarily restricted the applications for which elastomeric polymers were thought to be useful.
- biomolecules such as proteins generally have limited regions into which elastomeric polymers could be inserted without disrupting the required secondary and tertiary arrangement of the protein.
- Biomolecule is intended to mean any molecule, or collection of molecules, e.g. a complex, which exhibits a biological function and is composed of naturally occurring constituents or analogs or derivatives thereof.
- Biomolecules as defined herein have at least two parts, the first of which contributes the biological function, as defined above and is referred to herein as the "functional moiety". This functionality may be conferred by one or more molecules, e.g. subunits of an enzyme. The second part is the inserted elastomeric peptide.
- Such functions include enzymatic, binding, structural, activatory and inhibitory roles.
- biomolecules of the invention include for example, enzymes, receptors, antibodies, co-factors, inhibitors, antigens presenting particular epitopes, regulatory proteins and their peptides (functional variants) or derivatives or analogs with such functions .
- Biomolecules are not limited to polypeptides and include also for example, nucleic acid molecules, e.g. DNA template sequences or primers, into which peptides with the desired elastomeric properties, have been inserted.
- Biomolecules may have more than one function and may be composed of distinct moieties, e.g. fusion proteins or a nucleic acid sequence attached to a polypeptide or a polypeptide attached to a small chemical component such as a hapten.
- biomolecules may have more than 1 constituent molecule or component . These may or may not separably have biological functions, for example a protein which is composed of more than one polypeptide chain. .Analogs and derivatives of naturally occurring constituents include those which have similar properties, such as the use of non-naturally occurring amino acids to derive a polypeptide.
- Naturally occurring molecules are the first parts of biomolecules of the invention, for example antibodies.
- Such molecules include their functional parts, regions or domains (functional variants) such as the variable domain or region of antibodies, or may be as small as peptides, for example an antigenic determinant.
- Derivatives and analogs of these naturally occurring products and their variants may be produced by alteration of the natural sequence, by the use of non-natural constituents, and may be produced by synthetic methods.
- the natural sequence may be altered by replacement of one or more of their constituent components, e.g. amino acids or nucleic acids, or by altering the relative arrangement of different domains, optionally with the addition of further sequences, e.g. the production of single chain antibodies.
- the functional moieties and biomolecules according to the invention comprise one or more polypeptides.
- the "inserted” amino acid sequence may be attached at the terminal end of the molecule (or one of the molecules making up the biomolecule) , together with which it forms the biomolecule. Alternatively the insert may be attached within the molecule . When more than one molecule is present in the biomolecule, the amino acid insert may or may not be attached to the molecule contributing the functional moiety. Preferably the attachment is covalent. Especially preferably, the amino acid sequence is inserted between constituent components e.g. amino acids or nucleic acids, making up a chain forming at least part of the remainder of the biomolecule to form a contiguous chain.
- constituent components e.g. amino acids or nucleic acids
- the inserted amino acid sequence should replace a part of the molecule into which is inserted, for example replace part of the functional moiety.
- This aspect forms a preferred feature of the invention.
- the inserted sequence can replace the same or a similar number of amino acid residues taken from the host polypeptide, thus keeping the number of amino acids approximately the same, and allowing normal spatial arrangement of the biomolecule even after insertion of the elastomeric peptide. This of course requires that the position of insertion is appropriately chosen and this will be considered in more detail below.
- flanking regions may be used on one or both sides of the peptide, for example to facilitate binding to the molecule into which the sequence is to be inserted, to provide a site of recognition for affinity purposes, to provide a cleavage susceptible region (e.g. protease or acid/alkaline sensitive) , to mimic regions which the inserted sequence will replace or otherwise for convenience.
- cleavage susceptible region e.g. protease or acid/alkaline sensitive
- flanking regions are preferably small, for example 1 to 100 amino acids in length, especially preferably 1 to 20 amino acids in length.
- the flanking region at the N- terminal may be GVG or GGVG.
- elastomeric peptide refers to a peptide which exhibits inducible, reversible contraction from an extended state to a contracted state, by reduction in the distance between the ends of the peptide backbone of each contractile unit, on induction by a change in temperature, pH or pressure, e.g. contraction on increasing temperature. It should be noted that whilst the “elastomeric peptide” exhibits reversible contraction, when in si tu in a biomolecule, the freedom to exhibit reversible contraction may be limited leading to complete or partial irreversibility . Preferably contraction achieves a more than 20% reduction in overall length. Especially preferably, >40% reduction is achieved.
- Each contractile unit (or repeat unit) refers to the minimum peptide sequence able to contract on induction, e.g. VPGVG, which may be linked to the same or different sequences.
- Environmental parameters which may be changed to induce contraction or extension of the peptide include those parameters which have been found to cause the state transition of synthetic elastin polymers, such as a change in temperature, pressure, pH, the addition of salts or organic solutes, e.g. an altered analyte concentration, or by photochemical reaction or electrochemical or chemical reduction.
- the environment as referred to herein denotes the local environment of the biomolecule, ie . the physical parameters of the solution or other carrier into which it is placed. These parameters may provide indicators of various changes in the local environment, e.g. changes in electrical current or colour due to a change in analyte concentration.
- the altered properties or characteristics of the functional moiety on induction of contraction or extension of the inserted peptide include reversible and irreversible changes in the structure or geometry of the functional moiety such that the biological activity attributed to that region is affected. This includes elimination of the activity, increase or reduction of the activity or alteration of the activity such that it has different characteristics, e.g. exhibits different kinetic parameters for a particular enzymatic or binding reaction.
- Induction of contraction or extension may also cause a previously unobserved activity of the functional moiety with a latent or suppressed biological activity to be initiated or enhanced. This may result through spatial modification of the interaction between different domains of the functional moiety (which may be on one or more separate molecules) , by modification of a single domain of the functional moiety to affect its interaction with other discrete molecules (e.g. binding partners) , or by modification through alteration of the steric relationship of the functional moiety to the elastomeric peptide.
- Irreversible changes may be caused by for example appropriate selection of the elastomeric peptide such that induction of the peptide introduces a ⁇ -turn which cannot be reversed to the extended state .
- elastomeric peptides for use in the invention vary widely and require only that they have the aforementioned inducible contractile features, preferably the peptides have the sequence:
- XP/G(X) m represents a contractile unit in which P/G is either proline or glycine, each X is any amino acid and may be the same or different, m is an integer from 1 to 10, n is an integer from 1 to 100 and each unit in the sequence may be the same or different.
- each X is selected from glycine, valine, alanine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine or tyrosine and derivatives thereof, e.g. ⁇ -alanine, or other hydrophobic amino acid residues, preferably aliphatic hydrophobic amino acid residues.
- X is glycine, valine or isoleucine.
- the sequence XP/G(X) m is the sequence VPGVG (ie. (X) m is GVG), VPGV or IPGVG. It will be appreciated that since the elastomeric peptide employed will exhibit a distinct transition temperature of contraction depending on its sequence, that one or more X residues may be modified accordingly to provide a desired temperature of contraction, e.g. by the use of more hydrophilic amino acid residues.
- elastomeric peptides for use in the invention have the sequence:
- PEXK derived from the sequence of the contractile muscle protein tintin and from an artificial polypeptide known to undergo cold-denaturation and which forms an ⁇ -helix on heating. ) ,
- P, E and K refer to proline, glutamic acid and lysine, respectively, and each X, which may be the same or different, and n are as defined above.
- X in the latter sequences is leucine or valine.
- the sequence PEXK is PEVK and the sequence XKEXPEKX is LKELPEKL.
- m is 1 to 6, especially preferably 1 to 3.
- n l to 10, especially preferably 1 to 5.
- the length of the elastomeric peptide is 5 to 25 amino acids in length, e.g. 5, 15 or 25.
- Particularly preferred is the use of an amino acid insert of 5 to 100 amino acids in length, particularly, 8 to 20 amino acids.
- a biomolecule of the invention may be produced by chemical synthesis, for example by manual or automated synthesis of an appropriate polypeptide chain or polypeptide/nucleic acid molecule. Synthesis may be performed in solution or on a solid support using suitable solid phases known in the art . Separate parts of the complete molecule, produced synthetically or naturally, may be joined by chemical reaction to provide a covalent link. Alternatively, when the biomolecule is entirely composed of a polypeptide chain, this may be produced by expression of a DNA sequence encoding said biomolecule. Nucleic acid molecules containing a sequence encoding for biomolecules of the invention form a further aspect of the invention. Vector DNAs containing such nucleic acid molecules form a further feature of the invention. These vectors may be used to express biomolecules of the invention.
- biomolecules of the invention are extremely varied and are based on any application in which variation of a biological function is required and such applications form further aspects of the invention.
- an inducible trigger may be incorporated into even the most sensitive systems.
- the majority of such applications involve the introduction of an elastomeric peptide switch into polypeptides.
- the biological activity contributed by the functional moiety of such polypeptides may then be modified (either altering (e.g. changing specificity), increasing or decreasing the activity) on contraction or extension of the peptide.
- the elastomeric peptide into the (one of the) molecules of the biomolecule at a site which does not affect the functionality of said molecule.
- the point of insertion is generally one which will not significantly affect the tertiary structure of domains contributing to the functional moiety.
- this may be a surface loop (Hawrani et al . , 1994, Tibtech, 12, p207-211) or in the single chain antibody example described below, the linker region. Surface loops are often 2 to 12 amino acids in length and may be replaced by similar sized elastomeric peptides.
- the Fc-binding three-helix bundle Z domain based on the IgG-binding domain B of staphylococcal protein A (Nilsson et al . ,
- the polypeptide into which an elastomeric peptide is introduced may be, for example, an enzyme which on contraction or extension converts the enzyme into an active or inactive form, or more/less active form or alters its specificity for particular substrates, inhibitors, activators or co-factors. This may be caused by alteration of the secondary or tertiary structure of the enzyme or relevant domains of the enzyme or by influencing the relative arrangement of domains within the enzyme, or accessibility of domains of the enzyme, by other portions of the enzyme or by the contracted/extended elastomeric peptide itself.
- Elastomeric peptides may be used to replace loops, hinges and joints which thereafter will respond on temperature or other environmental changes. Thermostability and/or thermolability may also be improved by the introduction of an elastomeric peptide into a protein which exhibits thermosensitivity by replacement of an appropriate region .
- the duration of enzymatic reactions may also be precisely controlled by induction on altering particular environmental parameters (e.g. temperature, pressure or pH) for only a strictly controlled period of time after the initial mixing.
- environmental parameters e.g. temperature, pressure or pH
- biomolecules may be induced at certain temperatures thus providing a desirable activity, e.g. enzyme activity, which may be used in processes such as fermentation which exhibits changes in temperature .
- the binding may be turned on or off or altered reversibly, or irreversibly if so desired.
- affinity columns may be created in which the biomolecule with a binding function is bound to a solid support. The sample from which the other partner of the binding pair is to be extracted is then brought into contact with the solid phase under conditions at which binding can occur. After washing or other steps, the bound analyte may be released by appropriately altering the binding functionality of the biomolecule by contraction/extension of the elastomeric peptide contained therein. The biomolecules may thus be used for purification and extraction purposes to provide one partner of a binding pair, which may be immobilized if desired.
- the solid support may be any of the well-known supports or matrices which are currently widely used or proposed for immobilization, separation etc. in chemical or biochemical procedures.
- the solid support may take the form of particles, sheets, gels, filters, membranes, microfibre strips, tubes or plates, fibres or capillaries, made for example of a polymeric material e.g. agarose, cellulose, alginate, teflon, latex or polystyrene. Particulate materials, e.g. beads, are generally preferred.
- the solid support may comprise magnetic particles, which permit the ready separation of immobilized material by magnetic aggregation.
- magnetic particles are superparamagnetic to avoid magnetic remanence and hence clumping, and advantageously are monodisperse to provide uniform kinetics and separation.
- the preparation of superparamagnetic monodisperse particles is described by Sintef in EP-A-106873.
- the monodisperse polymeric superparamagnetic beads sold as DYNABEADS by Dynal AS (Oslo, Norway) are exemplary of commercially available magnetic particles which may be used or modified for use according to the invention.
- biomolecule in which the functional moiety has a binding function is a single chain antibody, as described in US 4946778 and 5260203 of Ladner et al . ; W088/09344 of Creative Biomolecules Inc.; and W093/11161 and WO94/12520 of Enzon Inc. in which variable regions of the light and heavy chain of antibodies are linked by one or more linker regions.
- these molecules adopt an arrangement such that the single chain is configured in 2 separate domains, linked by the linker region(s), wherein the domains interact together to form an equivalent binding site to that occurring in native antibodies.
- the linker region (s) is preferably from 10 to 30 amino acids in length, especially preferably 12 to 15 residues may be replaced at least in part by an amino acid sequence with an elastomeric peptide as described herein to form a biomolecule of the invention. On induction of contraction, the linker would be reduced in length such that the domain at either end were forced out of its normal configuration such that the binding site is altered, thereby preventing or altering antigen binding.
- the linker could be replaced with an elastomeric peptide of greater relative length in the extended state such that the domains again do not interact appropriately. On induction of contraction, the peptide would shorten to the appropriate length and the domains would be brought into contact thus increasing affinity for the antigen.
- an elastomeric peptide of less than 10 amino acids is used to replace the linker, if this region is sufficiently short, contraction may result in the formation of diabodies, in which 2 single chain antibodies become dimerized thus forming an antigen binding site. The reversible production of diabodies in this manner and the diabodies thus formed are preferred aspects of the invention.
- contraction and extension may be used to affect the functionality in either a positive or negative manner depending on the choice of the properties of the elastomeric peptide, e.g. length.
- an elastomeric peptide may be inserted into a leucine zipper.
- the peptide may be appropriately selected such that contraction or extension brings the separate domains into or out of contact .
- Non-polypeptide biomolecules of the invention include nucleic acid molecules into which an amino acid sequence has been inserted.
- Biomolecules of the invention may consist of an elastomeric peptide linking two independent domains such as ligand : receptor, inhibitor : enzyme or nucleic acid template : repressor pairs. Induction of contraction or extension may be used to bring the appropriate regions of association of the pairs into contact or out of contact such that the consequences which ensue from the interaction may be initiated, terminated or modified. Biomolecules of the invention may be used as biosensors to detect or monitor changes in the parameters of the biomolecules' local environment such as temperature or analyte concentration. For such purposes, the use of reversibly inducible biomolecules is preferred.
- the elastomeric peptide would respond appropriately and the biomolecule in which it was inserted chosen such that its altered characteristics could be detected, e.g. activation of enzymatic activity which produces a coloured product.
- modified antibodies or other binding proteins
- the binding to their antigens may be manipulated, for example by inducing disruption of the active site in response to a defined physical stimulus.
- proteins have applications in purification and detection procedures, e.g in ELISA or other binding assays. Applications in high throughput screening are also applicable.
- assay methods and kits for performing them form further aspects of the invention.
- biomolecules of the invention may be used to form libraries, e.g.
- Each member of said library would thus comprise a fusion molecule in which an elastomeric peptide was associated with a peptide (or oligonucleotide) for expression.
- the properties of these fusion molecules could then be altered by contraction or extension of the elastomeric peptide, e.g. to aid panning during screening, e.g. by reversibly introducing specific binding properties into the library members.
- biomolecules of the invention in diagnostic assays forms a preferred aspect of the invention.
- biomolecules of the present invention may be used in therapeutic applications.
- molecules which have advantageous therapeutic properties may be modified to create biomolecules of the invention, wherein at least a part of said biomolecules may be influenced by the environmental parameters of the context into which they are placed.
- biomolecules which have more than one functionality may be used.
- the inducible functionality may be the therapeutically desirable activity or may be an aspect of the biomolecule which may be varied to aid the therapeutic treatment, e.g may be used for inducible localization to particular areas, e.g. to localize therapeutic activity or to remove the biomolecules from a body part or fluid.
- biomolecules of the invention may be used for extracorporeal treatment of body fluid and may have their activity increased, decreased or altered appropriately by the fluid into which they are placed or by altering the conditions of said fluid, e.g. pressure or temperature.
- biomolecules of the invention may be administered to a human or animal body locally or systemically and be subject to alterations in their functionality due to the local environmental parameters of the body, e.g. pH variation during passage through the gastrointestinal tract, or on temperature fluctuation, e.g. to 37°C, or to higher temperatures at sites of infection.
- modification of the biomolecules' local environment may be altered to cause contraction or extension of the elastomeric peptide in the biomolecule and hence alteration of its functionality.
- biomolecules for example having an enzymatic activity which is absent until contraction occurs
- biomolecules for medicinal use should be administered according to known techniques and dosing regimes specific to the therapeutic functionality of the biomolecule.
- the present invention further provides biomolecules of the invention for use as a medicament.
- the invention provides a method of treating a disease or condition of a human or animal body with an effective amount of a biomolecule of the invention.

- the crude peptides from the TFA-cleavage were applied on an analytical HPLC (LKB, Bromma, Sweden) . They were analysed using a gradient of 4.5 - 54% acetonitrile in 0.1% TFA over 91 minutes at +20°C on a C 18 column (Vydac, 250 x 5 mm, 10 ⁇ m pore) .
- Peptides A-O were detected at 214 nm and eluted (0.7ml/min) respectively with A-H: 18-20.5% acetonitrile, and 1:33%, J:32%, K:31%, L:29%, M:31%, N:33%, 0:36% acetonitrile.
- Large scale purification using Waters HPLC (Water, UK) at 20°C was performed using a shallower gradient elution, e.g. for peptides A-H a gradient of 13.5 - 22.5% acetonitrile in 0.1% TFA over 90 minutes was applied.
- Peptides were chromatographed at 10 ml/min from a preparative 240 x 24 mm Vydac C 18 column (10 ⁇ m pore) with detection at 214 nm and then lyophilised.
- the purified peptides were dissolved in 1:1 water/methanol with 1.0% acetic acid at a concentration of 10 ng/ ⁇ l and analysed for purity and identity on ESP/MS (VG Autospec with VG Analytical
- Samples were subject to quantitative and qualitative amino acid analysis (samples were hydrolysed in HCl at 110°C for 24 hours under N 2 -gas and then freeze-dried, dissolved in citrate buffer pH 2.2, and analysed on Pharmacia
- Quartz cuvettes from Hellma (0.5 to 2 mm stoppered) were used, and the CD instrument was temperature controlled using a water bath and constantly purged with N 2 during analysis. Temperature CD scans were performed by cooling the samples to +1°C and then stepwise increasing temperature allowing samples to equilibrate at each temperature for 5 minutes from +1° to +85°C. The cuvette temperature was measured with a Fluke 51 K/J digital thermometer.
- the scans were collected using a spectral acquisition spacing of 0.5 or 1.0 nm (with 2.0 nm bandwidth) with an integration time of 1 second from 190 up to 260 nm. Scans were processed on a computer and the average of 4-15 scans were smoothed using Sabitzky Golay algorithm in the Dichrograph Software version 1.1 (Jobin-Yvon/Instruments S.A., France). Buffers (10 mM) were filtered through a 0.22 mm filter and centrifuged at 13000 rpm to remove dust and air. All spectra were baseline corrected for buffer and for off-axis drift using ellipticity at 240/260nm.
- Purified peptides were dissolved in deionized water and then diluted 44 times in 10 mM buffer, ensuring the peptide concentrations in the cuvette were always below 80 ⁇ M (to keep sample absorbance below 1.0 in all spectral regions) .
- Stock peptide concentration was determined by quantitative amino acid analysis . Data points at each wavelength were converted from peptide molar ellipticity to mean residue molar ellipticity ( [ ⁇ ] , degree cm 2 /dmol) by dividing by the number of residues in the peptide.
- a single wavelength from the wavelength scans (190-240/260 nm) was graphed versus different temperatures.
- the free energy for the transition into folded form at higher temperatures was fitted to a macroscopic, reversible, two-state model (1) using the observed CD-data, [ ⁇ ] ODS , temperature, T, and fixed endpoints for the transition (high temperature folded form, [ ⁇ ] F , and low temperature unfolded form [ ⁇ ] ⁇ ) .

- Models of high and low temperature forms of the elastin-like peptides were built by extracting phi and psi angles from molecular dynamics simulations (Wasserman & Salemme, 1990, Biopolymer, 29, pl613- 1631) . All modelling and simulations were carried out on a Silicon Graphics Indy using Insight 95 and Discover 2.6.0 (Molecular Simulations Inc.).
- CD spectra of the short and of the longer peptides in buffer at different temperatures showed a similar profile ( Figure 1 - which shows the results obtained with peptide D) .
- the global minimum was somewhat dependent on the buffer (Table 3) , but was typically within the range 198-200 nm - as found for more unordered peptides (Woody, 1995, Methods Enzymol . , 246, p34-71) .
- the minimum mean residual ellipticity was -7,000 to -10,000 deg cm 2 dmole "1 compared to -40,000 deg cm 2 dmole "1 for an ideal random coil . This is within the same range observed by Urry et al .
- the energy minimised structural model of the elastin polypentapeptide also incorporates a partially folded structure as an extended, low temperature form (Chang & Urry, 1988, supra; Wasserman & Salemme, 1990, supra) .
- CD amplitude around 195-205 decreased with increasing temperature, with a smaller decrease in amplitude at 206-212 nm.
- a positive peak in this region is a characteristic of type II ⁇ -turns (Urry et al . , 1986, supra; Urry et al . , 1985, supra; Woody, 1995, supra) .

- CD spectra of the 9-mer peptide D at various temperatures are shown in Figure 12a.
- spectra of the 18-mer peptide L are shown in Figure 12b. All other short and longer peptides showed a similar CD profile (data not shown) .
- Flanking regions are important to consider in order to specify a transition temperature for an elastin sequence grafted into other protein.
- a hydrophobic scale by Urry and co-workers (1993 , Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl., 32, p819-841) only predicts T m for residues within the polymer sequence.
- the VPGVG monomer is able to form the identical type II ⁇ -turn structure (within the discrimination capacity of CD) to that formed by the elastin-like polymer (VPGVG) n.
- ⁇ H and ⁇ S are dependent on the amount of clathrate-like water molecules surrounding the hydrophobic moieties, larger ⁇ H and ⁇ S values imply that a larger percentage of the hydrophobic surface in these peptides is accessible to solvent.

- Protein A from Staphylo coccus aureus is a protein which binds to the Fc-part of mammalian IgG. This three helix-bundle protein is found on the cell surface of bacteria and contains a tandem homologous binding domain, each of approximately 60 residues, designated as E, D, A, B, and C (Lofdahl et al . , 1983, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 80, p697-701; Uhlen, et al . , 1984, J.
- Peptides having a mutated protein A sequence with different turn regions (ie. in which wild-type sequence is replaced with elastomeric peptides) (Table 8 in which the amino acids in bold are those replaced to introduce the elastomeric peptides) were synthesised by solid phase peptide chemistry and analysed by circular dichroism as described in Example 1.
- the instrument was calibrated with iso-andosterone in dioxane at 304nm which gives an intensity at 142.5 ⁇ A using a 1.0cm quartz cuvette. Melting transitions of the peptides were followed at 222 nm by simultaneously correcting for off-axis drift at 260 nm.
- the Fc-561 was immobilised at +10° C using 35 ⁇ L of a solution of 100 ⁇ g Fc-561/mL (flow of 5 ⁇ L/min) , and unreacted groups on the surface were blocked with 1 M ethanolamine pH 8.5. After regeneration of the surface with 10 mM Glycine-HCl buffer pH 2.4 approximately 1000 RU of Fc-561 was immobilised.
- Human serum albumin HSA, 30 ⁇ L of 50 ⁇ g HSA/mL, Novo Nordisk, Denmark was immobilised under similar conditions as a control protein.
- the analysis was performed with a flow at 30 ⁇ L/min of Hepes buffered saline (10 mM Hepes pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 3.4 mM EDTA and 0.005 % P20). Each peptide (analyte) was injected 4-10 x 100 ⁇ L. The binding of the analyte to Fc-561 was corrected by simultaneously subtracting the RU's at the HSA portion of the chip (due to bulk- effects) . The surface was regenerated prior to each injection by using 5 uL 10 mM Glycine-HCl buffer pH 2.4.
- the data for the association constant was sampled by diluting the analyte in HBS with 0.005 % P20 to obtain several low concentrations, and the dissociation constant was determined from the highest concentration of the analyte to minimise rebinding.
- the on-rates of binding were followed over the first 200 seconds and likewise the dissociation phase (off-rate) in running buffer was recorded for another 200-300 seconds.
- the changes in refractive index close to the gold film surface on the chip are correlated to changes in RU, and thus make it possible to monitor changes in binding and dissociation of the analyte.
- Each sensorgram represents a time dependent change in refractive index recorded in real time.
- the on-rate and off-rate constants, respectively k on and k off were fitted by evaluating the sensorgram data using BIAevaluation 2.1 software (Pharmacia Biosensor) . By nonlinear fitting of two exponentials, the two-component association phase was found from the equation (5) which is just a sum of two independent one-component events.
- R is the response at time, t, and R A and R B are steady state response levels for the two events.
- R the response at time, t, and R A and R B are steady state response levels for the two events.
- the fitted values for ks A and ks B were plotted against analyte concentration C.
- ⁇ G +RT X In [K D (peptide x) at T X /K D (wild-type peptide 1) at TJ (7)
- the R is the molar gas constant and T x is the temperature (in Kelvin) for K D (based on fast on- and off-rates) and ⁇ G calculations.
- Peptides were thus synthesised by Syntem (Nimes, France) and were 95-98 % pure from reverse phase HPLC. The molecular mass was verified by mass spectroscopy, and the composition by amino acid analysis (data not shown) .
- the peptides were scanned on far-UN circular dichroism in phosphate buffer at a low temperature in order to study the effect of mutations in the turn-region (Figure 18) .
- Only the wild-type peptide (Peptide 1, Table 8) had a detectable characteristic alpha-helical CD-spectra with minima around 208 and 222 nm and maximum around 190 nm.
- the relatively low CD-amplitude (MRE around -10,000 deg ' cm 2 ' dmol "1 ) indicates that the spectra only represented a partial folded ⁇ -helix structure (Luo & Baldwin, 1997, Biochemistry, 36, p8413- 8421 and references herein) .
- mutants with the elastin ⁇ -turn were unstructured at the low temperature.
- peptide 3 (mutant 3) with a protected C-terminus had a larger proportion of helicity (measured at 222 nm) than the other mutants.
- TFE has a stabilising effect on ⁇ -helices and was thus tested on peptides 1-4.
- Figures 19a-c also confirms that TFE stabilised or induced ⁇ -helix structure in these peptides as is illustrated for peptide 2 ( Figure 19b) .
- Figure 19b By increasing the concentration of TFE in phosphate buffer there was a CD-transition from a random coil to an ⁇ -helical spectra for peptide 2, with an isodichroic point around 204 nm. Similar spectra could be obtained for peptide 3 and 4. This shows that all the mutants peptides had the propensity of folding ⁇ -helix even though they were largely unordered in phosphate buffer.
- thermo stabilising effect by TFE on the secondary structure, and by increasing the concentration of TFE in phosphate buffer the slopes at T M of the melting curves were decreasing as a function of temperature (lowered cooperativity) .
- Melting of peptide 1 in micellar SDS had the shallowest slope intercepting the melting curve of peptide 1 in phosphate buffer. Note the destabilising effect on the ⁇ -helix structure by SDS on peptide 1 at lower temperatures and the stabilising effect at higher temperatures.
- Figures 22a and b illustrate the typical sensorgrams recorded for peptide 1 and 2.
- the sensorgrams revealed a binding associated with relatively fast on- and off- rates.
- the on-rates were measured from the slope a linear fit of the ks A or ks B versus the lowest concentrations used ( Figures 22a, b insets) .
- the linear correlation coefficient (r) for the secondary fit of the fast on-rates was around 0.98.
- the slower on-rates had approximate 50-fold lower magnitude and much larger variability (up to 100 %, data not shown) .
- both the fast and slow off-rates were statistically determined at lower temperatures, and the slow off-rates for peptides 1-4 at 10° C are shown in Table 10.
- the on- rate for peptide 1 was halved by increasing temperature from 10° C to 30° C, and for peptide 2 it was doubled. This increased on-rate for peptide 2 at higher temperatures stabilised its dissociation constant. Surprisingly, peptide 3 and 4 had a much poorer binding to the ligand than peptide 2 although they had a larger ⁇ -helix propensity. Their fast on-rates at 10° C were respectively 211 ⁇ 113 and 289 ⁇ 90 s "1 " M “"1 , and their fast off-rates were 0.674 s "1 (peptide 3) and 0.563 s "1 (peptide 4) . This was about half of the on-rate and higher off-rate compared to peptide 2. Their rates at the other temperatures were not determined.
- the temperature CD-spectra were almost 100 % reversible as illustrated in Figures 25a-c
- the concentration dependence of the spectra at 15.5° C and 48° C in phosphate buffer was also tested for peptide 2 up to 620 ⁇ M and they were without any significant deviations at 222 nm (data not shown) .
- the wild-type peptide (peptide 1) has also been shown to be very soluble and monomeric (Starovasnik et al . , 1997, supra).
- the MRE at 222 nm was further followed for peptide 2-4 in 10 mM phosphate buffer and HBS by increasing temperature and their respective melting curves are shown in Figures 26a, b.
- thermodynamic data for peptides 2 and 4 are illustrated in Table 11.
- the van't Hoff plots of peptides 2 and 4 in their respective buffers were linear with correlation coefficients on the average of -0.98. Note that peptide 4 had a longer pre-folding area and a larger T M than peptide 2 The energies involved in the transition were higher than for the melting of the peptides in TFE (Table 9) .
- Glutamine in the N-terminal position has a negative effect on helix-stability (Chakrabartty et al . , 1993, Proc Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90, pll332-11336) . In other words the risk of destroying the 2° structure by introducing an elastin sequence into a so small peptide, chosen from phage display, was large.
- Stabilising of ⁇ -helices in TFE offer a way to express the difference of intramolecular stability between mutants and wild-type ⁇ -helical peptides in which the helicity of the mutants is completely destroyed. This was shown for the mutant with the most hydrophobic turn (peptide 2) which had a lowered transition temperature by 48° C for melting of ⁇ -helix in 30 % TFE compared to the wild type peptide.
- the other peptides with elastin- turn but with the Glu-Glu sequence close to the turn (Peptides 3 and 4) were more helical in TFE and their T M 's were 'only' lowered by 33-35° C.
- the magnitude of the CD-signal at 222 -nm for the melting curves in buffer was much lower than expected for a transition into an ⁇ -helix, and more similar to the lowered intensity from a type I ⁇ -turn (Woody, 1995, supra) .
- the CD-signal for this transition was dominated by the larger number of residues adopting a random coil conformation at higher temperatures, and thus does not shift into the typical ⁇ -helix spectra by increasing temperature (Perczel et al . , 1993, supra).
- the stability of all the peptides in TFE showed that the ⁇ - helical content should decrease by increasing temperature, as was also found for peptide 1 in phosphate buffer. This was however not shown for peptides 2-4 in phosphate buffer which had an increased CD-amplitude at 222 nm in phosphate buffer by temperature.
- the cooperativity involved for the melting curves was larger than observed for the melting of ⁇ - helices.
- Peptide 4 which had a larger ⁇ -helix propensity in TFE than peptide 2, should have a lower T M for the transition at 222 nm than peptide 2.
- T M the transition at 222 nm
- peptide 2 the concentration independence at two different temperatures and the full reversibility involved in this transition suggest that this was an intramolecular transition.
- the effect at 222 nm for peptides 2-4 was probably due to a temperature induced type I ⁇ -turn.
- Type I ⁇ -turn is the evolutionary, phage display selected turn between helix I and helix II in the structural minimised peptide (Starovasnik et al . , 1997, supra) . This type of turn may ensure that the helices are correctly aligned for binding although they are melted. The are also reports from nature about structural transitions induced by binding (Daughdrill et al . , 1997, Nature Struc.
- a structural switch which induces alignment of helices may help to increase the ⁇ -helicity later on upon binding to ligand.
- Peptide 2 with the most hydrophobic turn region had the lowest T M for the temperature induced transition at 222 nm in phosphate buffer compared to peptide 3 and 4.
- the latter peptide has two more negative charges, Glu-Glu, close to the turn region relative to peptide 2 (Gln- Gln) .
- Glu-Glu two more negative charges
- a more charged peptide will increase the probability of hydration and thus also increase the T M of hydrophobic interactions.
- the energies involved with this transition (Table 11) were also surprisingly similar to that found for short elastin peptides.
- the activity of all peptides was studied by surface plasmon resonance by first deciding which kinetic model was appropriate to use. The better fit to a heterogeneous two-component binding kinetics model using BIAevaluation 2.1 for all peptides may be explained if either the analyte or ligand exists in several conformations.
- the ligand used in this study was a purified Fc of a monoclonal mouse IgG2a (561) , but the peptides 2-4 in this study were all without any helical structures in HBS and likewise for peptide
- peptide 2 the more hydrophobic groups in the turn region interact and induce a structure (type I ⁇ -turn) with a lower T M than peptide 4, which may affect the intramolecular proximity of the two melted ⁇ -helices or the position of the residues involved in binding.
- a peptide or protein which has a large enough negative slope ⁇ G/T may be produced.
- This peptide has an amidated C-terminus, the other peptides have free N- and C-termini. a Amino acid number in the protein A sequence

- the products were purified on MAGICTM- PCR Preps DNA Purification System (Promega, Madison, WI) .
- the PCR-product for VH should have a new linker with Kpnl, EcoNI and Xhol sites.
- the VL should likewise have the sites Kpnl, EcoNI and BamHI on the new linker.
- the sequence covering Kpnl and EcoNI sites is overlapping in both PCR-products for VH and VL.
- the sites Kpnl and EcoNI were each tested by restriction and T4 ligation using the respective NEB enzymes and protocols.
- the ligation products were analysed on 1.5 % agarose gel (TBE system) and revealed the Kpnl gave a much stronger band around 1000 bp (3D6 scFv) than EcoNI. Both PCR-products were thus restricted with 20U Kpnl according to NEB ' s protocol .
- the product was purified on MAGICTM- PCR Preps DNA Purification System (Promega, Madison, WI) to remove the small digests (10-16 bp) and the VH and the VL were further ligated with T4 ligase over night at +16°C as described previously.
- the ligation mixture was heat inactivated (65°C for 10 minutes) , purified on MAGICTM- PCR Preps DNA Purification System and further restricted with 40U Hind III and 20U Not I as described previously.
- the digestion mixture after heat inactivation at 65°C (20 minutes) was run on a LMP 1.5 % agarose gel (TAE-system) at +4°C.
- TAE-system LMP 1.5 % agarose gel
- the D ⁇ A was isopropanol precipitated at -20°C for 2 hours, dried, resuspended in 20 ⁇ l sterile purified water and analysed on 1.5 % agarose gel (TBE) .
- Three bands around 1000 bp were detected, possibly from VH-VH, VL-VL and VH-VL assemblies. However, only VH-VL may be successfully inserted into the open vector.
- the three isolated bands were T4 ligated (NEB) into Hind Ill/Not I restricted vector pUC119His6mycXba and heat transformed (90 seconds at 42°C) into competent TGI cells. Colonies were PCR- screened and isolated as described previously.
- the isolated plasmids from the colonies were tested for the new sites Xhol and Kpnl using their respective restriction procedure described by NEB. Both for Xhol and Kpnl the plasmid was restricted. The plasmid was further sequenced back and forward as described previously and the new linker was positively identified.
- the linker was assembled as described in Figure 31.
- the plasmid coding for the linker construct (I) was first restricted with 80 U XhoJ in NEB 2 buffer and then further restricted with 40U Kpnl in NEB 1 buffer. Both restrictions were performed with 100 ⁇ g/ml BSA at +37°C over night, and the restriction mixtures after each incubation were purified on Wizard ® DNA Clean-Up System.
- the ss-oligos LINK1 (F) and LINK1 (B) both of 150 pmol, were separately kinased in T4 DNA ligase buffer with T4 polynucleotide kinase for 60 minutes at 37°C.
- the kinase mixture was heat inactivated at 65°C for 20 minutes and then annealed by first incubating a mixture of 25 pmol of each oligo for 5 minutes at 94 °C to completely dissociate the oligos. This oligos were then annealed slowly by cooling from 94°C to 20°C using a descending temperature slope of 1°C per minute on a thermocycler.
- the ds-oligos were freeze dried and redissolved in ice-cold sterile purified water and a 100-fold molar excess of ds-oligo was added to restricted vector and ligated over night at +16°C using T4 DNA ligase (NEB) .
- the ligation mixture was heat- inactivated (65°C, 10 minutes) and added to competent TGI cells and grown over night at +37°C on 2xTY plates with lOO ⁇ g/ml Ampicillin. Positive colonies were identified by PCR-screening with either the primer combination LMB3 (B) and Phenenco(F), or INT1 (F) and INT1(B) which covers approximately 220 bp comprising the linker region ( Figure 29c) . The latter primer pair gives a better resolution of the increased size of the new linker.
- the sequence of the plasmid was also verified by Xmal digestion and sequencing in both directions .
- the plasmid with the gene with the linker construct (II) was restricted with 40U Xmal and 40U Kpnl in NEB 1 buffer with 100 ⁇ g/ml BSA at +37°C over night, and the restriction mixture was purified on Wizard ® DNA Clean-Up System.
- the similar procedures for kinasing, annealing and cloning of the ss-oligos LINK2 (F) and LINK2 (B) into Xmal/Kpnl restricted vector as for construct of linker (II) were followed ( Figure 32) . Clones were identified as described for Linker construct (II) .
- the structure of linker region (III) is shown in Figure 33.
- the constructs can either be expressed as pure scFvs with c-myc and His 6 tags in the vector pUC119His6mycXba, or they can be expressed as fusion proteins of alkaline phosphatase with only a His 6 tag in the plasmid pDAP2 (by subcloning) .
- the plasmid with the target gene was heat transformed to the Escherichia coli strain TGI, and the expression of the clone was achieved in a two-litre Erlenmeyer flask with 500 ml M9ZB medium with 1 % (w/v) glucose (added ampicillin 100 ⁇ g/ml) .
- the inoculated freshly transformed colony was grown to A 600 of l.o to 2.0 after 12-18 hours at +37°C (250 rpm) in a incubator shaker (New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc., Edison, NJ) . Before induction the cells were centrifuged (4500 x g, 10 minutes at room temperature) and resuspended in M9ZB medium with 1 % glycerol prewarmed to 30°C. Expression of 3D6 is induced by lowering the temperature to around +20°C, adding 1 mM IPTG (final concentration) and by further incubation for 3-24 hours.
- the cells were harvested by centrifugation (Sorvall, 5400 rpm, 4°C, 12 minutes) and the pellets were dissolved in osmotic shock lysis buffer (100 ml of 20 % sucrose, 30 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA) and shaken vigorously for 10 minutes at room temperature before recentrifugation (8500 rpm, 4°C, 30 minutes) .
- osmotic shock lysis buffer 100 ml of 20 % sucrose, 30 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA
- the periplasmic lysate was extracted and dialysed in a Spectropore tubing.
- the expressed 3D6 scFv was purified from periplasmic lysate with metal affinity chromatography (Qiagen, Ni 2+ or Zn 2+ column) . The fractions were concentrated and analysed on 12 % SDS-polyacrylamide gels and Western electroblotted to a nitro-cellulose membrane. Detection and purity was carried out with the 9E10 mouse antibody
- the 3D6 -alkaline phosphatase fusion protein was detected directly through the activity of the alkaline phosphatase part (enzyme assay) .
- the concentration of 3D6 was spectrophotometrically determined at 280 nm using the method by Gill and von Hippel to calculate the extinction coefficient e 0,1 % from the primary sequence (Anal. Biochem., 1989, 182, p319-326) .
- the activities of the 3D6 scFv were analysed using the fusion protein GST-epi41 which has a gp41 epitope (short peptide) immobilised on the surface of GST (Glutathion Transferase) .
- GST-epi41 was immobilised on through its primary amines onto a gold-chip and the binding to 3D6 scFv was analysed using Surface Plasmon Resonance (BIAcore 2000, Biasensor, Sweden) at different temperatures.
- the k on -rates was determined from at least 5 different concentrations and the k off -rates was determined by using the highest concentration of 3D6.
- EXAMPLE 5 Engineering elastic sequences into the primary structure of a minidomain of Protein A containing a disulphur bridge
- Peptides 5 and 6 behaved in a similar way to the peptides studied in Example 3.
- Peptide 6 with the elastic sequence increased its CD-amplitude at 222 nm by increasing temperature, and likewise in the control peptide the alpha helices melted with increasing temperature.
- sodium sulphate Peptide 6 formed what is believed to be a type I ⁇ -turn as shown by CD-spectroscopy ( Figure 36) .
- Peptide 6 behaved structurally like the peptides studied in Example 3 in that it formed a type I ⁇ -turn with increasing temperature .
