Definitions

  • Antibodies find use in various diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
  • Antibodies can also be used to deliver drugs.
  • conjugation of a drug to an antibody can be difficult to control, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture of conjugates that differ in the number of drug molecules attached. This can make controlling the amount administered to a patient difficult.
  • the present disclosure provides aldehyde-tagged immunoglobulin (Ig) polypeptides that can be converted by a formylglycine-generating enzyme to produce a formylglycine (FGly)-modified Ig polypeptide.

  • the disclosure also encompasses methods of production of such aldehyde-tagged Ig polypeptides, FGly-modified Ig polypeptides, and Ig conjugates, as well as methods of use of same.

  • FGE The enzyme that oxidizes cysteine or serine in a sulfatase motif to FGly is referred to herein as a formylglycine generating enzyme (FGE).
  • FGE is used herein to refer to FGly-generating enzymes that mediate conversion of a cysteine (C) of a sulfatase motif to FGly as well as FGly-generating enzymes that mediate conversion of serine (S) of a sulfatase motif to FGly.
  • FGE FGly-generating enzymes that convert a C to FGly in a sulfatase motif as FGEs

  • FGE is used generically to refer to both types of FGly-generating enzymes, with the understanding that an appropriate FGE will be selected according to the target reactive partner containing the appropriate sulfatase motif (i.e., C-containing or S- containing).
  • FGEs are found in a wide variety of cell types, including both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. There are at least two forms of FGEs. Eukaryotic sulfatases contain a cysteine in their sulfatase motif and are modified by the "SUMFl-type" FGE (Cosma et al. Cell 2003, 113, (4), 445-56; Dierks et al. Cell 2003, 113, (4), 435-44). The FGly-generating enzyme (FGE) is encoded by the SUMF1 gene.
  • Prokaryotic sulfatases can contain either a cysteine or a serine in their sulfatase motif and are modified either by the "SUMFl-type” FGE or the “AtsB-type” FGE, respectively (Szameit et al. J Biol Chem 1999, 274, (22), 15375-81). In eukaryotes, it is believed that this modification happens co-translationally or shortly after translation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (Dierks et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1997, 94(22): 11963-8).

Cleared medium was combined with Protein A binding buffer and Protein A resin and incubated with rotation for lh at room temperature (RT). The mixture was added to a column to let the unbound material flow through. The resin was washed with Protein A binding buffer and then eluted 5 with Protein A elution buffer.
