Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the production of a ⁇ -carboxylated polypeptide.
- a complex of vitamin K and cyclodextrin is used to provide the host cells with a sufficient amount of vitamin K to enable y-carboxylation.
- Vitamin K includes two natural vitamers K1 (phylloquinone) and K2 (menaquinone). Vitamin K1 can be converted into vitamin K2.
- the function of vitamin K2 in the animal cell is to add a carboxylic acid functional group to a glutamate amino acid residue (Glu) in a protein, forming a ⁇ -carboxyglutamate (Gla) residue.
- Glu glutamate amino acid residue
- Gla ⁇ -carboxyglutamate
- vitamin K undergoes electron reduction to a reduced form called vitamin K hydroquinone by the enzyme vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR). Another enzyme then oxidizes vitamin K hydroquinone to allow carboxylation of Glu to Gla; this enzyme is called ⁇ -glutamyl carboxylase or vitamin K-dependent carboxylase.
- VKOR vitamin K epoxide reductase
- Another enzyme then oxidizes vitamin K hydroquinone to allow carboxylation of Glu to Gla; this enzyme is called ⁇ -glutamyl carboxylase or vitamin K-dependent carboxylase.
- the v- glutamyl carboxylase catalyzes the post-translational conversion of glutamic acid to v- carboxyglutamate in precursor proteins containing a ⁇ -carboxylation recognition site.
- the following human Gla-containing proteins have been characterized to the level of primary structure: the blood coagulation factors II (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X, the anticoagulant proteins C and S, and the factor X-targeting protein Z. Further, y- carboxylation has been found in the bone Gla protein osteocalcin, the calcification- inhibiting matrix Gla protein (MGP), the cell growth regulating growth arrest specific gene 6 protein (Gas6) and the four transmembrane Gla proteins (TMGPs). The presence of the Gla residues in these proteins turned out to be essential for biological activity.
- MGP calcification- inhibiting matrix Gla protein
- Gas6 cell growth regulating growth arrest specific gene 6 protein
- TMGPs transmembrane Gla proteins
- WO 01/70968 A2 relates to a method for the recombinant synthesis of blood coagulation factors.
- Example 4 thereof describes that 10 ⁇ g ml vitamin K is used in the culture medium for the recombinant production of Factor IX using a transiently transfected host cell. With respect to stably transfected host cells, it is mentioned that up to 100 ⁇ g ml may be used.
- the technical problem has been solved by the provision of a method for producing a v- carboxylated polypeptide comprising culturing a host cell having ⁇ -glutamyl carboxylase activity and comprising a nucleotide sequence coding for the polypeptide in a culture medium, wherein the culture medium comprises vitamin K and cyclodextrin.
- cyclodextrin in a method for expression of a v- carboxylated polypeptide is provided.
- the present invention provides a cell culture medium comprising cyclodextrin and vitamin K.
- Polypeptide means any naturally occurring or artificially designed polypeptide, including muteins thereof.
- a “mutein” includes additions, deletions and/or substitutions with respect to the naturally occurring polypeptide.
- the mutein does not include more than 20 additions, deletions and/or substitutions, preferably not more than 10, particularly preferred not more than 5, in particular not more than two or one amino acid addition, deletion and/or substitution compared to the parent amino acid sequence.
- Promoter refers to a region of regulatory DNA sequences for the control of transcription of a gene to which RNA polymerases bind.
- “Functionally linked” refers to configurations of the vector where the promoter is located within the vector in such a manner that it can stimulate transcription of the DNA sequence coding for the polypeptide.
- Vector refers to any genetic construct, such as plasmid, phage, cosmid, etc., which is capable of replication when associated with the proper control elements.
- the term includes cloning and expression vehicles.
- Carrying a vector includes both, the stable and transient incorporation of a functional DNA segment into the host cell. The stable incorporation is, however, preferred.
- Encodes or “encoding” refers to a property of the nucleic acid sequence being transcribed (in case of DNA) or translated (in case of mRNA) into a polypeptide in vitro or in vivo when placed under the control of an appropriate regulatory sequence.
- ⁇ -Carboxylated polypeptide refers to a polypeptide which comprises at least one v- carboxylation.
- a ⁇ -carboxylation in particular is a modification of a glutamic acid residue within the polypeptide resulting in a ⁇ -carboxyglutamate. This modification may be catalyzed by the enzyme ⁇ -glutamyl carboxylase.
- the inventors of the present invention have found that when cyclodextrin is added to the culture medium the above technical problems can be overcome.
- using cyclodextrin a homogeneous culture medium containing vitamin K is obtained.
- the process conditions can be better controlled and reproducible production conditions and results are obtained.
- a significant achievement is that the concentration of vitamin K in the culture medium can be lowered to 1 ⁇ g ml or less, in particular to about 0.2 ⁇ g ml or even as low as 0.05 ⁇ g/ml. It is readily apparent that the process according to the invention is more efficient and less expensive than the process of the prior art.
