- Homology or “identity” or “similarity” are used interchangeable and refers to sequence similarity between two peptides or between two nucleic acid molecules. Homology can be determined by comparing a position in each sequence which may be aligned for purposes of comparison. When a position in the compared sequence is occupied by the same base or amino acid, then the molecules are homologous at that position. A degree of homology between sequences is a function of the number of matching or homologous positions shared by the sequences. An "unrelated” or “non-homologous” sequence shares less than 40%) identity, though preferably less than 25% identity, with one of the sequences of the present disclosure. Identity between two polypeptides is determined by comparing only the regions that that are similar.
- polypeptide having a sequence of 20 amino acids is compared to a polypeptide having the same 20 amino acids, but also having a segment that is at the N or C-terminus of that 20 amino acids, the % identity would still be 100%), since both polypeptides have the same stretch of 20 amino acids, without any intervening amino acids.
- a polynucleotide or polynucleotide region (or a polypeptide or polypeptide region) has a certain percentage (for example, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or 99%) of "sequence identity" or "homology" to another sequence means that, when aligned, that percentage of bases (or amino acids) are the same in comparing the two sequences.

Monobodies may consist of 94 amino acids and have a molecular mass of about 10 kDa, fifteen times smaller than an IgG type antibody and comparable to the size of a single variable domain of an antibody. They are based on the structure of human fibronectin, more specifically on its tenth extracellular type III domain.
- Fibronectin is a high-molecular weight (approximately 440 kDa) extracellular matrix glycoprotein that binds to membrane-spanning receptor proteins called integrins (Pankov et al, 2002). Fibronectin exists as a dimer, consisting of two nearly identical polypeptide chains linked by a pair of C-terminal disulfide bonds (Mao and Schwarzbauer, 2005). Each fibronectin monomer contains three types of modules: type I, II, and III. All three modules are composed of two anti-parallel ⁇ -sheets; however, type I and type II are stabilized by intra-chain disulfide bonds, while type III modules do not contain any disulfide bridges. The absence of disulfide bonds in type III modules allows them to partially unfold under applied force (Erickson, 2002).
- Modules are arranged into several functional and protein-binding domains along the length of a fibronectin monomer.
- Modules Illg.io correspond to the "cell-binding domain" of fibronectin.
- the RGD sequence (Arg-Gly-Asp) is located in III 10 and is the site of cell attachment via ⁇ 5 ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 3 integrins on the cell surface.
- the "synergy site” is in III9 and has a role in modulating fibronectin' s association with ⁇ 5 ⁇ 1 integrins (Sechler et al., 1997).
- One of the threee fibronectin binding domains is about 100 amino acids long and possesses a beta sandwich structure having seven beta strands (strands A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) and has been established as an effective non-antibody, "alternative" scaffold for the generation of novel binding proteins.
- a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, FN3 has three surface exposed loops at one end of the molecule. Engineering strategies using this scaffold are based on combinatorial libraries created by diversifying both the length and amino acid sequence of the surface loops. From such libraries, FN3 variants capable of binding to a target of interest can be isolated using various selection methods.
- FN3 scaffold offers many advantages compared to conventional antibodies or fragments thereof.
- One example of a FN3 polypeptide or scaffold has the amino acid sequence
- the FN3 scaffold or body comprises beta strand A, beta strand B, beta strand C, beta strand D, beta strand E, beta strand F, and beta strand G.
- Connecting beta strands A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are loop regions AB (15 - 16), BC (22 to 30), CD (39-45), DE (51-55), EF (60-66), and FG (76-87).
- Beta strand A precedes the AB loop and beta strand G follows the FG loop.
- FN3 polypeptides can be modified by inserting or deleting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20 or more amino acids, or any range derivable therein, in a FN3 loop. Variants are discussed in U.S. Patent 6,673,901, which is hereby incorporated by reference with respect to embodiments regarding FN3 monobodies.

- FN3 variants can include alanine substitutions at one or more of amino acid positions. Substitutions include, but are not limited to conservative substitutions that have little or no effect on the overall net charge, polarity, or hydrophobicity of the protein.
- FN3 domains will have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 amino acid substitutions that include, but are not limited to the following FN3 residue substitutions (corresponding to SEQ ID NO:91): R30A, R30N, R30D, R30C, R30Q, R30E, R30G, R30H, R30I, R30L, R30K, R30M, R30F, R30P, R30S, R30T, R30W, R30Y, R30V, Y31A, Y31R, Y31N, Y31D, Y31C, Y31Q, Y31E, Y31G, Y31H, Y31I, Y31L, Y31K, Y31M, Y31F, Y31P, Y31 S, Y31T, Y31W, Y31V, R33A, R33N, R33D,

- Antibodies can be generated using conventional techniques known in the art and are well-described in the literature. Several methodologies exist for production of polyclonal antibodies. For example, polyclonal antibodies are typically produced by immunization of a suitable mammal such as, but not limited to, chickens, goats, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, mice, rats, and rabbits. An antigen is injected into the mammal, induces the B-lymphocytes to produce immunoglobulins specific for the antigen. Immunoglobulins may be purified from the mammal's serum.

- Other adjuvants include surfactants which promote concentration of protein antigen molecules over a large surface area and immunostimulatory molecules.
- Non-limiting examples of adjuvants for polyclonal antibody generation include Freund's adjuvants, Ribi adjuvant system, and Titermax.
- Polyclonal antibodies can be generated using methods known in the art some of which are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,279,559; 7, 119,179; 7,060,800; 6,709,659; 6,656,746; 6,322,788; 5,686,073; and 5,670,153.
- Monoclonal antibodies can be generated using conventional hybridoma techniques known in the art and well-described in the literature.
- a hybridoma is produced by fusing a suitable immortal cell line (e.g., a myeloma cell line such as, but not limited to, Sp2/0, Sp2/0-AG14, NSO, NS1, NS2, AE-1, L.5, P3X63Ag8,653, Sp2 SA3, Sp2 MAI, Sp2 SSI, Sp2 SA5, U397, MIA 144, ACT IV, MOLT4, DA-1, JURKAT, WEHI, K-562, COS, RAJI, NIH 313, HL-60, MLA 144, NAMAIWA, NEURO 2A, CHO, PerC.6, YB2/0) or the like, or heteromyelomas, fusion products thereof, or any cell or fusion cell derived there from, or any other suitable cell line as known in the art, with antibody producing cells, such as

Art known methods are described in the patent literature some of which include U.S. Pat. Nos.
- the EBP is an affibody.
- Affibody molecules are small proteins engineered to bind to a large number of target proteins or peptides with high affinity, imitating monoclonal antibodies, and are therefore a member of the family of antibody mimetics.
- Affibody molecules are based on a three-helix bundle domain, which can be expressed in soluble and proteolytically stable forms in various host cells on its own or via fusion with other protein partners. They tolerate modification and are independently folding when incorporated into fusion proteins.
- Head-to-tail fusions of Affibody molecules of the same specificity have proven to give avidity effects in target binding, and head-to-tail fusion of Affibody molecules of different specificities makes it possible to get bi- or multi-specific affinity proteins. Fusions with other proteins can also be created.
- a site for site-specific conjugation is facilitated by introduction of a single cysteine at a desired position.
- Affibody molecules have been produced by chemical synthesis. Since they do not contain cysteines or disulfide bridges, they fold spontaneously and reversibly into the correct three-dimensional structures when the protection groups are removed after synthesis.
- An Affibody molecule consists of three alpha helices with 58 amino acids and has a molar mass of about 6 kDa. Affibody molecules have been shown to withstand high temperatures (90 °C) or acidic and alkaline conditions (pH 2.5 or pH 11, respectively). Binders with an affinity of down to sub-nanomolar have been obtained from naive library selections, and binders with picomolar affinity have been obtained following affinity maturation. D. Anticalins
- the EBP is an anticalin.
- Anticalins are artificial proteins that are able to bind to antigens, either to proteins or to small molecules. They are not structurally related to antibodies, which makes them a type of antibody mimetic. Instead, they are derived from human lipocalins which are a family of naturally binding proteins. Anticalins can be used in place of monoclonal antibodies, but are about eight times smaller with a size of about 180 amino acids and a mass of about 20 kDa.
- Anticalins have better tissue penetration than antibodies and are stable at temperatures up to 70 °C. Unlike antibodies, they can be produced in bacterial cells like E. coli in large amounts. While antibodies can only be directed at macromolecules such as proteins and at small molecules (haptens) only if bound to macromolecules, anticalins are able to selectively bind to small molecules as well.
- Characteristic for anticalins is their barrel structure formed by eight antiparallel ⁇ - strands pairwise connected by loops and an attached a-helix.
- the main structure of anticalins is identical to wild type lipocalins. Conformational deviations are primarily located in the four loops reaching in the ligand binding site. Mutagenesis of amino acids at the binding site allows for changing the affinity and selectivity.
- the EBP is a Kunitz variant.
- Kunitz domains are the active domains of proteins that inhibit the function of protein degrading enzymes or, more specifically, domains of Kunitz-type are protease inhibitors. They are relatively small with a length of about 50 to 60 amino acids and a molecular weight of 6 kDa.
- Kunitz- type protease inhibitors are aprotinin (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, BPTI), Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein (APP), and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI).
- the structure is a disulfide rich alpha+beta fold.
- Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor is an extensively studied model structure. Certain family members are similar to the tick anticoagulant peptide (TAP, PI 7726). This is a highly selective inhibitor of factor Xa in the blood coagulation pathways. TAP molecules are highly dipolar, and are arranged to form a twisted two-stranded antiparallel beta sheet followed by an alpha helix.
- BPTI basic protease inhibitor
- family includes numerous other members, such as snake venom basic protease; mammalian inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitors; trypstatin, a rat mast cell inhibitor of trypsin; a domain found in an alternatively spliced form of Alzheimer's amyloid beta-protein; domains at the C-termini of the alpha- 1 and alpha-3 chains of type VI and type VII collagens; tissue factor pathway inhibitor precursor; and Kunitz STI protease inhibitor contained in legume seeds.

- trypstatin a rat mast cell inhibitor of trypsin
- a domain found in an alternatively spliced form of Alzheimer's amyloid beta-protein domains at the C-termini of the alpha- 1 and alpha-3 chains of type VI and type VII collagens
- tissue factor pathway inhibitor precursor tissue factor pathway inhibitor precursor
- Kunitz domains are stable as standalone peptides, able to recognise specific protein structures, and also work as competitive protease inhibitors in their free form. These properties are useful for developing EBPs.
- Candidate EBPs are selected from molecular libraries containing over 10 million variants with the aid of display techniques like phage display, and can be produced in large scale by genetically engineered organisms.
- the EPB is a DARPin.
- DARPins an acronym for designed ankyrin repeat proteins
- DARPins are genetically engineered antibody mimetic proteins typically exhibiting highly specific and high-affinity target protein binding. They are derived from natural ankyrin proteins and consist of at least three, usually four or five repeat motifs of these proteins. Their molecular mass is about 14 or 18 kDa (kilodaltons) for four- or five- repeat DARPins, respectively.
- DARPins are derived from naturally occurring ankyrin proteins, a protein class that is mediating high-affinity protein-protein interactions in nature. Sequence alignments of several thousand natural ankyrin repeat motifs (of about 33 amino acids each) combined with structure based design and recombinant DNA methods is used for generation of these proteins. DARPins are composed of repetitive structural units forming a stable protein domain with a large potential target interaction surface. Typically, DARPins are composed of four or five repeats, corresponding to the average size of natural ankyrin repeat protein domains. Proteins with less than three repeats do not form a tertiary structure. The molecular mass depending on the number of repeats is as follows:
- DARPins with randomized potential target interaction residues with diversities of over 1012 variants have been generated at the DNA level. From these libraries, DARPins binding the target of choice with picomolar affinity and specificity can be selected using ribosome display or signal recognition particle (SRP) phage display.
- SRP signal recognition particle
- DARPins are expressed in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli at high levels (over 10 g/1 in fermentation, 1 g/1 in shake flask) in soluble form.
- the proteins exhibit high thermal and thermodynamic stability (denaturation midpoint: Tm > 66 °C, equilibrium unfolding: AG > 9.5 kcal/mol), which is increasing with increasing repeat number.
- DARPins are stable in human blood serum and do not contain T-cell epitopes.
- the high specificity and affinity of binding DARPins has been attributed rigid body binding mode. Multi-specific or multivalent constructs made by genetic fusion show similar properties as single domain DARPins.
- the absence of cysteines in the scaffold enables engineering of site-specific cysteines, allowing site-directed coupling of chemicals to the molecule.
- the EBP is one known in the art. Further examples include affilins, affimers, affitins, alphabodies, avimers, and fynomers. H. Library Screening

In some embodiments, these polypeptides may further include insertions or added amino acids.
- Substitutional or replacement variants typically contain the exchange of one amino acid for another at one or more sites within the protein and may be designed to modulate one or more properties of the polypeptide, particularly to increase its efficacy or specificity. Substitutions of this kind may or may not be conservative substitutions. Conservative substitution is when one amino acid is replaced with one of similar shape and charge.
- the binding polypeptide is a monobody library
- the monobody library serves to provide a diversity of amino acid sequences and binding selectivity conservative substitutions are not required.

- a nucleotide sequence may have 80%, 90%, or 100%) complementarity to a specified second nucleotide sequence, indicating that 8 of 10, 9 of 10 or 10 of 10 nucleotides of a sequence are complementary to the specified second nucleotide sequence.
- the nucleotide sequence 3'-TCGA-5' is 100% complementary to the nucleotide sequence 5 -AGCT-3'.
- the nucleotide sequence 3'- TCGA- is 100% complementary to a region of the nucleotide sequence 5'-TTAGCTGG-3'. It will be recognized by one of skill in the art that two complementary nucleotide sequences include a sense strand and an antisense strand.
- Polypeptides may be encoded by a nucleic acid molecule in the composition.
- the nucleic acid molecule can be in the form of a nucleic acid vector.
- vector is used to refer to a carrier nucleic acid molecule into which a heterologous nucleic acid sequence can be inserted for introduction into a cell where it can be replicated and expressed.
- a nucleic acid sequence can be "heterologous,” which means that it is in a context foreign to the cell in which the vector is being introduced or to the nucleic acid in which is incorporated, which includes a sequence homologous to a sequence in the cell or nucleic acid but in a position within the host cell or nucleic acid where it is ordinarily not found.
- Vectors include DNAs, RNAs, plasmids, cosmids, viruses (bacteriophage, animal viruses, and plant viruses), and artificial chromosomes (e.g., YACs).
- Vectors may be used in a host cell to produce an antibody.
- expression vector refers to a vector containing a nucleic acid sequence coding for at least part of a gene product capable of being transcribed or stably integrate into a host cell's genome and subsequently be transcribed. In some cases, RNA molecules are then translated into a protein, polypeptide, or peptide.
- Expression vectors can contain a variety of "control sequences,” which refer to nucleic acid sequences necessary for the transcription and possibly translation of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism. In addition to control sequences that govern transcription and translation, vectors and expression vectors may contain nucleic acid sequences that serve other functions as well and are described herein. It is contemplated that expression vectors that express a marker may be useful in the invention.
- the marker is encoded on an mRNA and not in an expression vector.
- a "promoter” is a control sequence.
- the promoter is typically a region of a nucleic acid sequence at which initiation and rate of transcription are controlled. It may contain genetic elements at which regulatory proteins and molecules may bind such as RNA polymerase and other transcription factors.
- the phrases "operatively positioned,” “operatively linked,” “under control,” and “under transcriptional control” mean that a promoter is in a correct functional location and/or orientation in relation to a nucleic acid sequence to control transcriptional initiation and expression of that sequence.
- a promoter may or may not be used in conjunction with an “enhancer,” which refers to a cis-acting regulatory sequence involved in the transcriptional activation of a nucleic acid sequence.
- the particular promoter that is employed to control the expression of a peptide or protein encoding polynucleotide is not believed to be critical, so long as it is capable of expressing the polynucleotide in a targeted cell, preferably a bacterial cell. Where a human cell is targeted, it is preferable to position the polynucleotide coding region adjacent to and under the control of a promoter that is capable of being expressed in a human cell. Generally speaking, such a promoter might include either a bacterial, human or viral promoter.
- the host cell is an eukaryotic cell.
- a specific initiation signal also may be required for efficient translation of coding sequences. These signals include the ATG initiation codon or adjacent sequences. Exogenous translational control signals, including the ATG initiation codon, may need to be provided. One of ordinary skill in the art would readily be capable of determining this and providing the necessary signals.
- Vectors can include a multiple cloning site (MCS), which is a nucleic acid region that contains multiple restriction enzyme sites, any of which can be used in conjunction with standard recombinant technology to digest the vector. (See Carbonelli et al, 1999, Levenson et al, 1998, and Cocea, 1997, incorporated herein by reference.)
- RNA molecules will undergo RNA splicing to remove introns from the primary transcripts.
- Vectors containing genomic eukaryotic sequences may require donor and/or acceptor splicing sites to ensure proper processing of the transcript for protein expression. (See Chandler et al., 1997, incorporated herein by reference.)
- the vectors or constructs will generally comprise at least one termination signal.
- a “termination signal” or “terminator” is comprised of the DNA sequences involved in specific termination of an RNA transcript by an RNA polymerase.
- a termination signal that ends the production of an RNA transcript is contemplated.
- a terminator may be necessary in vivo to achieve desirable message levels.
- the terminator region may also comprise specific DNA sequences that permit site- specific cleavage of the new transcript so as to expose a polyadenylation site. This signals a specialized endogenous polymerase to add a stretch of about 200 A residues (poly A) to the 3' end of the transcript.
- RNA molecules modified with this polyA tail appear to more stable and are translated more efficiently.
- terminator comprises a signal for the cleavage of the RNA, and it is more preferred that the terminator signal promotes polyadenylation of the message.
- a polyadenylation signal In expression, particularly eukaryotic expression, one will typically include a polyadenylation signal to effect proper polyadenylation of the transcript.
- a vector in a host cell it may contain one or more origins of replication sites (often termed "ori"), which is a specific nucleic acid sequence at which replication is initiated.
- ori origins of replication sites
- ARS autonomously replicating sequence
- Some vectors may employ control sequences that allow it to be replicated and/or expressed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- control sequences that allow it to be replicated and/or expressed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- One of skill in the art would further understand the conditions under which to incubate all of the above described host cells to maintain them and to permit replication of a vector. Also understood and known are techniques and conditions that would allow large-scale production of vectors, as well as production of the nucleic acids encoded by vectors and their cognate polypeptides, proteins, or peptides.
- polynucleotides and polypeptides of the disclosure may be transfected of transformed into host cells or expressed in host cells.
- the terms "cell,” “cell line,” and “cell culture” may be used interchangeably. All of these terms also include both freshly isolated cells and ex vivo cultured, activated or expanded cells. All of these terms also include their progeny, which is any and all subsequent generations. It is understood that all progeny may not be identical due to deliberate or inadvertent mutations.
- host cell refers to a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell, and it includes any transformable organism that is capable of replicating a vector or expressing a heterologous gene encoded by a vector.
- a host cell can, and has been, used as a recipient for vectors or viruses.
- a host cell may be "transfected” or “transformed,” which refers to a process by which exogenous nucleic acid, such as a recombinant protein- encoding sequence, is transferred or introduced into the host cell.
- a transformed cell includes the primary subject cell and its progeny. Common host cells include bacteria (such as E.coli, B. subtilis, S.viofoceoruber), yeast (such as S.cerevisiae, P.pastoris), fungi (such as A.oryzae) or eukaryotic cells.
- Kits are also contemplated as being made or used in certain aspects of the disclosure.
- a polypeptide or nucleic acid of the disclosure can be included in a kit.
- a kit can be included in a sealed container.
- containers include a microtiter plate, a bottle, a metal tube, a laminate tube, a plastic tube, a dispenser, a pressurized container, a barrier container, a package, a compartment, or other types of containers such as injection or blow-molded plastic containers into which the dispersions or compositions or desired bottles, dispensers, or packages are retained.
- Other examples of containers include glass or plastic vials or bottles.

- the kits may include additional components such as buffers, diluents, and specific assay compents to determine enzyme activity and/or enzyme substrate specificity.
- Table 1 describes polypeptides of the disclosure.
- Clones from Loop Library have mutations (underlined) in aa 24-29 (Double underline in WT (SEQ ID NO: 91)).
- FIG. 1A This example describes a new approach to modulate catalytic properties of enzymes that are recalcitrant to traditional enzyme-engineering techniques, by using synthetic binding proteins termed monobodies (FIG. 1A).
- FOG. 1A Protein design technologies are applied to the generation of synthetic binding proteins that bind to the target enzyme. Importantly, this method leaves the target enzyme itself unchanged, and it can be applied to any enzyme.
- FIG. IB different classes of binding proteins in terms of their effect and their respective utilities can be envisioned (FIG. IB)
- the present study is focused on enhancing the substrate specificity, a generally challenging task in protein engineering.
- the enzyme produces a wide range of GOSs, leading to low yields of GOSs of a specific size.
- Such broad substrate specificity is observed for many enzyme families that form and/or break biopolymers, including proteases, glycosidases, and lipases. Tailoring substrate specificity of these classes of enzymes is often desired but challenging.
- Applicants envisioned enhancing the production of short GOSs by engineering the ⁇ -galactosidase in such a way that prevented the enzyme from using large GOS species as substrates. Cloning and functional expression of this enzyme in E. coli have recently been reported, and four residues that constitute the putative active-site have been identified via inactivating mutations 8 .
- BgaD-D It is a large protein, and its shortest active fragment used in this work was -100 kDa (termed BgaD-D; see Methods) 9 . Its 3D structure or molecular details of its substrate recognition has not been elucidated. Furthermore, no high-throughput assays for profiling GOSs are available. Thus, it has been challenging to alter catalytic properties of BgaD-D using conventional approaches. In fact, none among hundreds of BgaD-D mutations constructed based on homology models exhibited the desired catalytic profile defined above (unpublished).
- BgaD-D has subsites (-1, +1, +2, +3 and so on), each recognizing a glycosyl residue, with hydrolysis and trans-galactosylation occurring using the same catalytic site located between -1 and +1 (FIG. 1C, D).
- a series of monobodies, synthetic binding proteins based on the 10 th human fibronectin type III (FN3) domain (FIG. 1A), directed to BgaD-D were generated by performing combinatorial library selection using phage- and yeast-display technologies as previously established (Koide, A., Bailey, C.W., Huang, X. & Koide, S. J Mol Biol 284, 1141-1151 (1998) and Koide, A., Wojcik, J., Gilbreth, R.N., Hoey, R.J. & Koide, S. J Mol Biol 415, 393-405 (2012)).
- the monobody system has generated numerous potent and specific binding proteins (Wojcik, J. et al.
- the monobodies from the initial, unbiased selection represented by Mb(BgaD_L02), Mb(BgaD_S09) and Mb(BgaD SlO) bound strongly to three distinct epitopes of BgaD-D in the absence of substrates, as determined in competitive binding experiments using purified monobody samples (FIG. 2 A and FIG. 3).
- Mb(BgaD_L02), Mb(BgaD_S09) and Mb(BgaD SlO) bound strongly to three distinct epitopes of BgaD-D in the absence of substrates, as determined in competitive binding experiments using purified monobody samples (FIG. 2 A and FIG. 3).
- none showed significant effects on BgaD-D catalytic activity (FIG. 2C and FIG. 3), suggesting that they are inert binders binding to locations distant from the active site (FIG. 1 A and 2A).
- Mb(BgaD_L19) was then improved by error-prone PCR and directed evolution.
- Both Mb(BgaD_L19) and Mb(BgaD_L23) did not compete with the three inert monobodies, as expected (FIG. 2B).
- FIG. 2E compares the product profiles at the time point when the total amount of oligosaccharides reaches the maximum, a comparison that reflects the actual use of the enzyme (due to the galactosidase activity of the enzyme, longer reaction times beyond this point lead to GOS hydrolysis).
- the BgaD- D/Mb(BgaD_L23) complex produced the highest amount of tri- saccharide (DP3) and reduced the production of DP4 and DP5+ species by 4.5 and 30 folds, respectively, compared with BgaD-D alone and with the other monobodies (FIG. 2E). This pattern of restricted GOS production is consistent with our model (FIG IE).
- Mb(BgaD_L23) showed little effect on lactose hydrolysis and the production of mono-, di- and tri-saccharides (FIG. 2D). By contrast, it greatly diminished the production of tetra-oligosaccharides (DP4) and larger species (DP5+) (FIG. 2D). Notably, it enhanced tri- saccharide (DP3) production in a higher lactose conversion regime. This production pattern is consistent with Applicant's model (FIG. IE).
- BgaD-A (residues 36-1737), BgaD-B (residues 36-1422), BgaD-C (36-1249) and BgaD-D (residues 36-847), and GOSs are produced mostly by three isozymes other than BgaD-A.
- BgaD-D and its active site mutants (E447Q, E447K and E447R) were prepared as a fusion protein C-terminal to a biotin- acceptor tag (Avi-tag) and His 6 tag using pCold II vector (Takara).
- the proteins were produced as previously described, except that the protein was produced in BL21(DE3) containing the pBirAcm plasmid (Avidity) in the presence of 50 ⁇ D-biotin for in vivo biotinylation.
- Monobodies were prepared as Hisio-tagged proteins using the pHFT2 vector or as His 6 -tagged and biotinylated proteins using the pUBT vector as previously described (Koide, A., Gilbreth, R.N., Esaki, K., Tereshko, V. & Koide, S. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104, 6632-6637 (2007)). All proteins were purified using Ni-Sepharose columns (GE Healthcare) and further purified with a Superdex size-exclusion column (Superdex200 for BgaD-D and Superdex75 for monobodies, GE Healthcare). Representative SDS-PAGE of purified samples is shown in Supplementary Figure 7. For enzyme assay experiments, Applicants used BgaD-D without Avi-tag 7 and monobodies from which the affinity tag had been removed.
- Phage display and yeast-surface display The monobody libraries used and general selection methods have been described previously (Koide, A., Wojcik, J., Gilbreth, R.N., Hoey, R.J. & Koide, S. JMolBiol 415, 393-405 (2012) and Wojcik, J. et al. Nat Struct Mol Biol 17, 519-527 (2010)).
- the buffers used for binding reaction and washing were BSS (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl and 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin) and BSST (BSS and 0.1% Tween 20), respectively, for both phage-display and yeast surface- display selection experiments.
- apo BgaD-D was used as a target and the selection was performed in an unbiased manner.
- the BgaD-D concentrations used for rounds 1, 2 and 3 of phage-display selection were 300 nM, 200 nM and 100 nM, respectively.
- Monobody-displayed phages were captured onto biotinylated target enzyme immobilized to streptavi din-coated magnetic beads (Z5481/2, Promega) and then eluted in 0.1 M Gly-HCl, pH 2.1. After gene shuffling among phage clones within each enriched population and transfer of the resulting gene pool to a yeast-surface display vector, Applicants performed library sorting using the target enzyme concentration of 100 nM, as described previously.
- Yeast cells displaying a monobody was incubated with varying concentrations of BgaD-D, washed with the buffer and stained with appropriate fluorescently labeled secondary detection reagents, prior to analysis on a flow cytometer (Guava EasyCyte 6/L, Millipore).
- ⁇ ⁇ values were determined from plots of the mean fluorescent intensity against BgaD-D concentration by fitting the 1 : 1 binding model using SigmaPlot software (Systat Software).
- Affinity measurements using purified proteins were determined using a bead-based assay. Streptavi din-coated Dynabeads M280 (Invitrogen) at 20 ⁇ g/mL were incubated with an appropriate concentration of biotinylated monobody (10-30 nM) at 4°C for 30 min with rotation, and then blocked with 10 ⁇ D- biotin for 15 min. The monobody-immobilized beads were washed and re-suspended in BSS. 10 ⁇ . of the beads solution was then transferred to a well of a 96-well filter plate (MultiScreenHTS HV, 0.45 ⁇ pore size, Millipore) and drained by vacuum.
- MultiScreenHTS HV 0.45 ⁇ pore size, Millipore
- the monobody-competition binding assay for testing the specificity of monobodies was carried out as described above except that 20 ⁇ ⁇ of an appropriate concentration of biotinylated BgaD-D pre-incubated with or without a competitor monobody added at 200 times the ⁇ ⁇ value for the monobody -BgaD- D interaction in BSS.
- the concentration of biotinylated BgaD-D used was 10 nM for Mb(BgaD_L02) and Mb(BgaD SlO), 30 nM for Mb(BgaD_L14) and Mb(BgaD_L23), 40 nM for Mb(BgaD_L19) or 180 nM for Mb(BgaD_S09) to account for different affinity.
- the biotinylated BgaD-D was pre-incubated with or without 20% (w/v) of oligosaccharide (Lactose, DP3, DP4 or DP5) in BSS for 5 min on ice, and then 20 ⁇ ⁇ of the mixture was transferred to the wells where monobody binding took place. Experiments were performed in triplicate.
- Hydrolysis activity assay Hydrolysis activity was assayed using 4 mM onitro- phenyl ⁇ -D-glucopyranoside (O PG) as a substrate in the assay buffer (50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl and 0.01% Triton X-100) at 25°C. All reagents were pre-incubated at 25°C for 10 min, and the reaction was initiated by mixing 50 of substrate solution containing 8 mM ONPG and 50 ⁇ ⁇ of protein solution containing 62 nM BgaD-D and/or 10 ⁇ monobody.
- O PG onitro- phenyl ⁇ -D-glucopyranoside
- the amounts of monosaccharides, disaccharides and GOSs were determined using a CK04S column (Mitsubishi Chemical) on an FIPLC (LC-30AD, Shimadzu) equipped with an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD-LTII, Shimadzu).
- the assay samples were eluted from the column using H 2 0 at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min at 80°C.
- a Asahipak H2P-40 3E column was used with a gradient of H 2 0 (solvent A) and acetonitrile (solvent B) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min at 30°C.
- Glucose, galactose, lactose and 4'-Galactosyllactose purchased from Wako Chemicals, and tetra- and larger oligosaccharides prepared from a commercially available GOSs (Vivinal ® GOS, FrieslandCampina), were used as reference compounds for producing standard curves for these assays.
- the inventors have established a new strategy for altering enzyme specificity in which proxy synthetic binding proteins (termed monobodies) modulate the specificity of an otherwise unmodified enzyme.
- the inventors tested the strategy on Candida rugosa lipase 1 (CRL1).
- CRL1 Candida rugosa lipase 1
- the inventors successfully identified proxy monobodies that restricted the substrate specificity of CRL1 toward short-chain lipids.
- the successes with CRL1 here and with a ⁇ -galactosidase previously suggest broad applicability of the strategy to enzymes with distinct architectures of substrate binding sites.
- Enzymes are important components in a wide range of applications in industries including food, pharmaceutical, dairy and textile, but naturally occurring enzymes often lack properties desired for the applications of interests and are needed to be engineered.
- engineering enzymes with desired catalytic properties remains a challenging task in biotechnology. Advances in techniques of DNA manipulation and molecular biology allow one to create a polypeptide with any amino acid sequence, yet one's current knowledge of enzyme's sequence- structure-function relationships is still at its early stages for de novo design and rational enzyme design, making it still a daunting challenge to design and produce an enzyme with desired functionality. Directed evolution has become a powerful tool for engineering enzymes in the absence of such knowledge and led to many successful examples.
- Example 1 Described in Example 1 is a new strategy for altering enzyme specificity with proxy binding proteins directed to the precise potion within the enzyme substrate-binding site.
- a ⁇ -galactosidase BgaD-D
- synthetic binding proteins based on the 10 th human fibronectin type III (FN3) domain
- the inventors successfully altered the enzyme's substrate specificity for its trans-galactosylation reaction and selectively enhanced the production of short oligosaccharide.
- the strategy was designed based on a general mechanism of substrate recognition by ⁇ -galactosidases in which discrete sub-sites recognize different sugar moieties within a substrate.
- CRL1 Candida rugosa
- Lipases triacylglycerol lipase EC 3.1.1.3 catalyze both hydrolysis and synthesis of triacylglycerides and several other esters. They have broad specificity in terms of substrate size (short to long fatty acids) and in terms of substrate shape and chemistry (saturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids).
- lipases ideally should hydrolyze only short chain fatty acids to produce cheese flavor. In reality, however, lipases also hydrolyze long-chain fatty acids that contribute to an undesired soapy flavor. Therefore, tailoring the substrate specificity of lipases toward a specific fatty- acid chain length is often desired.
- BgaD-D ⁇ -galactosidase
- these two types of enzymes differ substantially in terms of the architecture of substrate binding site.
- the substrate-binding site of BgaD-D consists of shallow, surface-exposed pockets readily accessible by proxy monobodies, whereas that of CRL1 is a deeply buried tunnel whose inner surface is unlikely to be directly accessibly by monobodies.
- CRL1 one or two hydrocarbon units
- BgaD-D a sugar unit
- the lipase substrate-binding site does not have discrete sub-sites for discriminating hydrocarbon chains of different lengths.
- the inventors generated a series of monobodies directed to CRLl by performing combinatorial library selection using phage- and yeast-display technologies by following previously established procedures.
- a mobile segment named lid covers the active site and keeps the enzymes in the closed and inactive form.
- a hydrophobic solute such as a detergent
- the lid opens, making the lipase active site accessible to the substrate and thus the lipase is active.
- Triton X-100 to all buffers used during monobody generation. The inventors reasoned that this way the inventors would enrich monobodies that bound in or near the substrate-binding site.
- Mb(S05) the inert binders
- This selection yielded 11 different monobodies, and of them the inventors identified three different types of monobodies with similar ⁇ ⁇ values of approximately 50 nM (FIG. 8 A).
- Mb(S16) potently inhibited CRLl activity toward all chain lengths tested of synthetic /?-nitrophenyl ( NP)-esters with a single aliphatic chain.
- Mb(S16) may bind to a region critical for catalysis such as the active site.
- Mb(L18) showed a desired profile as a specificity modifier in which the monobody significantly reduced the activity of CRLl toward the chain lengths longer than C8 but showed little effect on the activity toward C4 and C8 (FIG. 8C).
- the binding of Mb(L18) was competed by Mb(S16), suggesting that Mb(L18) may bind to a position close vicinity to the active site (FIG. 8B).
- Mb(S19) did not show any significant effect on CRLl catalytic activity and the binding was not competed with either Mb(S16) or Mb(L18) (FIG. 8B and 8C).
- Further selection campaign to obtain monobodies that are competed by Mb(L18) but have different profiles produced two additional inhibitory monobodies, Mb(L23) and Mb(L24) with a single amino acid difference (FIG. 8A-C).
- Mb(S16) and Mb(L24) both inhibited the activity of CRLl toward all chain lengths tested (FIG. 9). Of them, Mb(L24) showed more potent inhibition, probably because the monobody had higher affinity to CRLl (FIG. 8B) and consequently the binding with CRLl was more complete than Mb(S16) at the same monobody and enzyme concentrations. The inert monobody, Mb(S05), showed no effects, as expected (FIG. 9). Thus, their profiles observed for triacylglycerides were generally similar to those observed for pNP- esters, with a few exceptions. Mb(L18) did not inhibit the CRLl activity on the C8 pNP ester (FIG.
- Mb(L18) altered chain length specificity of CRLl toward pNP- esters and was competed by the inhibitor, Mb(L18) may bind to a position close vicinity to the active site and affect binding of scissile fatty acid to the tunnel-like binding site. It has been reported for CRLl and other iso-forms that mutations of residues not only inside the tunnel but also at the entrance of the tunnel alter the chain length specificity.
- Mb(L18) may bind to a certain position around the entrance of the tunnel and interfere with entering of longer chain substrates into the tunnel. However, binding to other regions indirectly affecting the size or shape of the tunnel cannot be excluded. Mb(S19) was not competed by Mb(S16) and was inert against ⁇ P-esters, but it altered the chain length specificity of CRL1 toward triacylglycerides. These results suggest that Mb(S19) may not affect binding of scissile fatty acid but rather affect binding of another position of fatty acid in triacylglyceride to the binding site.
- Binding sites of non-scissile fatty acids are relatively large and exposed to the solvent, and each binding site is cleanly separated from scissile fatty acid binding site (FIG. 10).
- scissile fatty acid binding site FIG. 10
- precisely pointing and blocking of a certain position within the non-scissile fatty acid binding site(s) by monobodies without interfering binding of scissile fatty acid may be possible.
- Altering chain length specificity against triacylglycerides with retaining specificity for ?NP-esters by mutations at the non-scissile fatty acid binding sites have been reported for other iso-forms. [0220] In this Example, experimental evidence that the substrate specificity of CRL1 can be altered by monobodies is provided.
- Tunnel-like substrate binding site is now recognized as a ubiquitous architecture and spans across all six major classes of enzymes. Therefore, it is anticipated that this strategy would be useful for engineering catalytic properties of a wide range of enzymes.
- CRL1 Purified CRL1 was obtained from c- LEcta (Germany). The protein was biotinylated using the EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC- Biotinylation Kit (ThermoScientific). Briefly, CRL1 was dissolved in and further dialyzed against PBS (50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl), and incubated with a 5-fold molar excess of HS-LC-biotin at 4°C for 16 hrs.
- PBS 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl
- Non-reacted biotin was removed using a desalting column, and the resultant protein sample was purified with a Superdex size-exclusion column (Superdex200, GE Healthcare). Biotin incorporation into CPvLl was estimated to be about 2 per CRL1 molecule by a colorimetric HABA dye assay.
- Monobodies were prepared as His 10 - tagged proteins using the pHFT2 vector as previously described. All proteins were purified using Ni-Sepharose columns (GE Healthcare) and further purified with a Superdex size- exclusion column (Superdex75, GE Healthcare). For enzyme assay experiments, we used monobodies from which the affinity tag had been removed by TEV protease cleavage.
- Phage display and yeast-surface display The monobody libraries used and general selection methods have been described previously.
- the buffer used for binding reaction and washing was BSST (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl, 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin and 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100) for both phage-display and yeast surface-display experiments.
- BSST 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl, 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin and 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100) for both phage-display and yeast surface-display experiments.

- yeast-surface display vector After gene shuffling among phage clones within each enriched population and transfer of the resulting gene pool to a yeast-surface display vector, we performed library sorting using the target enzyme concentrations of 100 nM and 20 nM for the first and second round sorting, respectively, as described previously.
- the amino acid sequences of the identified monobodies were deduced by DNA sequencing of the yeast display vectors.
- Phylogenetic tree analysis was performed using the program Phylogeny (EMBL-EBI).
- Affinity of monobodies to CRL1 was determined using yeast-surface display, as described previously. Yeast cells displaying a monobody were incubated with varying concentrations of CRL1, washed with the buffer and stained with appropriate fluorescently labeled secondary detection reagents, prior to analysis on a flow cytometer (Guava EasyCyte 6/L, Millipore). ⁇ ⁇ values were determined from plots of the mean fluorescent intensity against CRL1 concentration by fitting the 1 : 1 binding model using SigmaPlot software (Systat Software).
- Competition binding assay was performed using yeast-surface display as described above. The monobody-competition binding assay for testing the specificity of monobodies was carried out as described above except that 20 ⁇ . of an appropriate concentration of biotinylated CRL1 pre-incubated with or without a competitor monobody added at 100-200 times the ⁇ ⁇ value for the monobody-CRLl interaction in BSST.
- the concentration of biotinylated CRL1 used was 10 nM for Mb(S01), Mb(S02), Mb(S03) and Mb(S05), 20 nM for Mb(L23) and Mb(L24), or 100 nM for Mb(S16), Mb(L18) and Mb(S19) to account for different affinity.
- Hydrolysis activity assay with triacylglycerides Hydrolysis activity against triacylglyceries was measured using tributyrin (C4; Sigma-Aldrich), tricaproin (C6; Tokyo Kasei), tricaprylin (C8; Wako Pure Chemicals), tricaprin (CIO; Tokyo Kasei) and trilaurin (C12; Tokyo Kasei) as substrates.

METHODS AND COMPOSITION FOR MODIFYING ENZYMES
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/193,955, filed July 17, 2015, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
[0002] This invention was made with government support under grants R01-GM072688 and R01-GM090324 awarded by the National Institutes of Health. The government has certain rights in the invention.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
I. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Embodiments are directed generally to biology, medicine, and protein engineering. II. BACKGROUND
[0004] Engineering enzymes with desirable catalytic properties remains a major goal of biotechnology, as enzymes are important in many industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, food, dairy and textile. Essentially all standard enzyme-engineering approaches, e.g., structure-guided design and directed evolution, modify the enzyme itself. The prerequisites of these approaches limit their broader application. Structure-guided design requires detailed knowledge of the three-dimensional (3D) structure and catalytic mechanism of the target enzyme, and directed evolution requires effective strategies for generating and screening numerous mutant enzymes. De novo enzyme design also requires detailed understanding of the reaction mechanism. Industrial enzymes are often purified from their native hosts because they cannot be recombinantly produced in organisms suitable for protein engineering such as Escherichia coli and yeast. Their 3D structures are seldom known, and their assays are often labor intensive. These characteristics make it a formidable challenge to apply standard protein-engineering approaches to industrial enzymes, although it is often desired to modulate their properties. Thus, there is a need in the art for better methods for modifying enzyme activities and/or specificities, especially for enzymes in which little information is available regarding the three-dimensional structure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] This disclosure provides a solution for the previously described problem by providing methods for developing novel enzyme substrate specificity modifiers that can be
generated in the absence of any knowledge regarding the enzyme's structure. Also described herein are polypeptides that bind to β-galactosidase or lipase 1 and polypeptides that are inhibitors and specificity modifiers of β-galactosidase or lipase 1. Aspects of the disclosure relate to a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NO: 1-90, 93-112 or 114-117.
[0006] In some embodiments, the polypeptide binds to β-galactosidase. β-galactosidase catalyzes lactose hydrolysis and trans-galactosylation reactions. In some embodiments, the β-galactosidase is from B. circulans (ATCC 31382). In some embodiments, the polypeptide binds to Biolacta®. In some embodiments, the polypeptide is an inert binder. The term "inert binder" refers to a binding polypeptide that does not modify any activities of the protein or enzyme. In some embodiments, the inert binder does not reduce an activity of the protein by more than 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1% (or any derivable range therein). Activities include substrate specificity, selectivity, enzyme activity, substrate binding, etc... In some embodiments, the inert binder is a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: l, 8, 14, 23, 26, 30, 38, 39, 47, 52, 62, 67, 69, 70, 75, or 76.

In some embodiments, the inhibitor is a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 73, 74, 77, or 83. [0008] In some embodiments, the polypeptide is a specificity modifier of β-galactosidase. The term "specificity modifier," as used herein, is a polypeptide that changes the substrate profile of the enzyme, but does not necessarily change the activity of the enzyme. For example, a specificity modifier may change the binding activity of an enzyme so that the enzyme preferential binds one substrate over another or so that the enzyme binds a substrate not previously bound by the enzyme. However, a specificity modifier will not typically change the level of activity of the enzyme. In some embodiments, the specificity modifier comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:78, 81, 86, 87, or 88. In some embodiments, the specificity modifier is a polypeptide that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 87. [0009] In some embodiments, the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: l, 8, 14, 23, 26, 30, 38, 39, 47, 52, 62, 67, 69, 70, 75, or 76. In some embodiments, the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least
90% identical to SEQ ID NO:73, 74, 77, or 83. In some embodiments, the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:78, 81, 86, 87, or 88. In some embodiments, the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:87. [0010] Further aspects relate to a polypeptide that binds to Candida rugosa lipase 1 (CRL1). In some embodiments the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 80%> identical to an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:93-112 or 114-117. In some embodiments, the polypeptide have at least 70, 75, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100% identity to SEQ ID NO:93-112 or 114-117. In some embodiments, the polypeptide is an inert binder of CRL1. In some embodiments, the inert binder comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:93, 94, 96, or 97. In some embodiments, the polypeptide is an inhibitor of CRL1. In some embodiments, the inhibitor comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 107, 116, or 117. In some embodiments, the polypeptide is a specificity modifier of CRL1. In some embodiments, the specificity modifier comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 115 or 109.
[0011] In some embodiments, a polypeptide of the disclosure is at least or exactly 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% identical (or any derivable range therein) to a polypeptide with an amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NO: 1-90, 93-112, or 114-117
[0012] "Homology" or "identity" or "similarity" are used interchangeable and refers to sequence similarity between two peptides or between two nucleic acid molecules. Homology can be determined by comparing a position in each sequence which may be aligned for purposes of comparison. When a position in the compared sequence is occupied by the same base or amino acid, then the molecules are homologous at that position. A degree of homology between sequences is a function of the number of matching or homologous positions shared by the sequences. An "unrelated" or "non-homologous" sequence shares less than 40%) identity, though preferably less than 25% identity, with one of the sequences of the present disclosure. Identity between two polypeptides is determined by comparing only the regions that that are similar. For example is a polypeptide having a sequence of 20 amino acids is compared to a polypeptide having the same 20 amino acids, but also having a segment that is at the N or C-terminus of that 20 amino acids, the % identity would still be 100%), since both polypeptides have the same stretch of 20 amino acids, without any
intervening amino acids.
[0013] A polynucleotide or polynucleotide region (or a polypeptide or polypeptide region) has a certain percentage (for example, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or 99%) of "sequence identity" or "homology" to another sequence means that, when aligned, that percentage of bases (or amino acids) are the same in comparing the two sequences. This alignment and the percent homology or sequence identity can be determined using software programs known in the art, for example those described in Ausubel et al. eds. (2007) Current Protocols in Molecular Biology.
[0014] Biologically equivalent polynucleotides are those having the specified percent homology and encoding a polypeptide having the same or similar biological activity.
[0015] In some embodiments, the percentage identity is calculated by dividing the number of identities by one of: length of shortest sequence, length of alignment, mean length of sequence, number of non-gap positions, or number of equivalenced positions excluding overhangs. [0016] In some embodiments, the polypeptide further comprises a modification. The modification may be pegylation, glycosylation, conjugation to a detectable label, conjugation to a diagnostic agent, conjugation to a fluorescent, luminescent, or bioluminescent material, conjugation to a radioactive material, conjugation to a therapeutic agent, and/or conjugation to a second polypeptide. In some embodiments, the second polypeptide is an Avi, Calmodulin, polyglutamate, polylysine, polyarginine, E, FLAG, HA, His, Myc, polyhistidine, GST, MBP, S, SBP, Softag 1, Softag3, Strep, TC, V5, VSV, lectin, biotin, streptavidin, SUMO, HaloTag, SiTag or Express polypeptide.

[0020] The term "epitope," as used herein is also used interchangeable with antigen and refers to a polypeptide segment recognized by a binding protein (i.e. EBPs described herein). In some embodiments, the epitope is multiple polypeptide segments (i.e. discontinuous segments of a protein).
[0021] In some embodiments, the EBP-enzyme complex has a level of activity that is at least 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100% (or any derivable range therein) of the un-complexed activity level.

[0023] The activity of the protein may be determined by methods known in the art and by an assay that depends on the enzymatic activity that the enzyme possesses. For example, the activity of the β-galactosidase or lipase 1 may be determined by using an assay as described in the examples. In some embodiments the activity refers to the specific catalytic rate constant (kcat), which can be determined by methods known in the art and/or described herein.

[0029] In some embodiments, the EBP that modifies substrate specificity does not bind to the active site of the enzyme. In some embodiments, the EBP that modifies substrate specificity does not bind to the site of catalysis (i.e. region of active site where the catalytic reaction occurs). In some embodiments, the EBP that modifies substrate specificity is a polypeptide that modifies the accessibility of the active site of the enzyme.
[0030] In some embodiments, the EBP that modifies substrate specificity inhibits the catalytic activity of the enzyme for a first substrate, but does not inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme for a second substrate.

[0062] The term "fibronectin type III domain" or "FN3 domain" refers to a domain (region) from a wild-type fibronectin from any organism. In specific embodiments, the FN3 domain is the tenth domain of fibronectin type III.
[0063] The term "fibronectin type III domain variant" or "FN3 variant domain" refers to a polypeptide region in which one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, and/or insertions are present as compared to the amino acid sequence of a wildtype FN3 domain. In certain embodiments, the FN3 variant or FN3 variant domain has an alteration with respect to specifically the human tenth module of the fibronectin type III domain sequence (SEQ ID NO:91). The term "substitutional variant" includes the replacement of one or more amino acids in a peptide sequence with a conservative or non-conservative amino acid(s). In some embodiments, the FN3 domain variant has increased binding properties compared to the wildtype FN3 domain relative to a particular target.
[0064] The term "FN3 -domain polypeptide" refers to a polypeptide that includes at least one FN3 domain. A "variant FN3 domain polypeptide" refers to a polypeptide that includes at least one variant FN3 domain. It is contemplated that such polypeptides are capable of specifically binding a polypeptide or protein.
[0065] A "non-FN3 binding sequence" refers to an amino acid sequence of more than 15 contiguous amino acid residues that is not present in an FN3 domain or an FN3 domain variant and that specifically binds to a protein or polypeptide. In some embodiments, a non- FN3 binding sequence is specifically a non-tenth module fibronectin type III domain binding sequence.
[0066] The β sheet is a form of regular secondary structure in proteins. Beta sheets consist of beta strands connected laterally by at least two or three backbone hydrogen bonds, forming a generally twisted, pleated sheet. A beta strand (also β strand) is a stretch of polypeptide chain typically 3 to 10 amino acids long with backbone in an almost fully extended conformation.
[0067] A loop is a less ordered, flexible stretch of amino acids (as compared to alpha helices and beta sheets) that typically connect other structural elements of a protein. In the context of FN3, the loops are designated by the beta-strands they connect, for example the loop connecting beta-strand A and beta-strand B is the AB loop. The term BC loop refers to the amino acids corresponding to amino acids 22 to 30 of SEQ ID NO:91. The term CD loop refers to the amino acids corresponding to amino acids 39 to 45 of SEQ ID NO:91. The term DE loop refers to the amino acids corresponding to amino acids 51 to 55 of SEQ ID NO:91. The term FG loop refers to the amino acids corresponding to amino acids 76 to 87 of SEQ ID NO:91.
[0068] Beta strand A refers to the amino acids preceding the AB loop [0069] Beta strand B refers to the amino acids connecting the AB and BC loops [0070] Beta strand C refers to the amino acids connecting the BC and CD loops. [0071] Beta strand D refers to the amino acids connecting the CD and DE loops. [0072] Beta strand E refers to the amino acids connecting the DE and EF loops. [0073] Beta strand F refers to the amino acids connecting the EF and FG loops. [0074] Beta strand G refers to the amino acids after the FG loop.
[0075] The term "binding protein" refers to a polypeptide that specifically binds another compound, such as a polypeptide through non-covalent chemical interactions.
[0076] As used herein, "monobody" is intended to mean a polypeptide having a sequence and structure related to the tenth module of the fibronectin type III domain (FN3) that includes a beta-strand domain lacking in disulfide bonds and containing a plurality of beta- strands, two or more loop regions each connecting one beta-strand to another beta-strand, and optionally an N-terminal tail, a C-terminal tail, or both, wherein at least one of the two or more loop regions, the N-terminal tail, and or the C-terminal tail is characterized by activity in binding a target protein or molecule. More specifically, in some embodiments such monobodies can include three or more loop regions or, even more specifically, four or more loop regions. The size of such polypeptide monobodies is preferably less than about 30 kDa, more preferably less than about 20 kDa.
[0077] The term "library" refers to a collection (e.g., to a plurality) of polypeptides having different amino acid sequences and different protein binding properties. In some embodiments there is a variant FN3 domain library comprising polypeptides having different variations of the FN3 domain. Unless otherwise noted, the library is an actual physical library of polypeptides or nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides. In further embodiments, there is a database that comprises information about a library that has been generated or a theoretical library that can be generated. This information may be a compound database comprising descriptions or structures of a plurality of potential variant FN3 domains. "FN3- based molecule" refers to a molecule having an amino acid sequence of an FN3 domain or FN3 variant domain.
[0078] The term "specifically binds" or "specific binding" refers to the measurable and reproducible ability of an FN3 -based molecule to bind another molecule (such as a target), that is determinative of the presence of the target molecule in the presence of a heterogeneous population of molecules including biological molecules. For example, an FN3-based molecule that specifically or preferentially binds to a target is a polypeptide that binds this target with greater affinity, avidity, more readily, and/or with greater duration than it binds to most or all other molecules. "Specific binding" does not necessarily require (although it can include) exclusive binding.
[0079] An polypeptide that specifically binds to a target with an affinity of at least 1 x 10"6 M at room temperature under physiological salt and pH conditions, as measured by surface
plasmon resonance. An example of such a measurement is provided in the Example section.
[0080] The term "target" refers to a peptide, antigen or epitope that specifically binds to an FN3 -based binding molecule or monobody described herein. Targets include, but are not limited to, epitopes present on proteins, peptides, carbohydrates, lipids, and/or organic/inorganic mineral surfaces.
[0081] The term "non-natural amino acid residue" refers to an amino acid residue that is not present in the naturally occurring FN3 domain in a mammal, such as a human.
[0082] The terms "tag", "epitope tag" or "affinity tag" is used interchangeably herein, and usually refers to a molecule or domain of a molecule that is specifically recognized by an antibody or other binding partner. The term also refers to the binding partner complex as well. Thus, for example, biotin or a biotin/avidin complex is both regarded as an affinity tag. In addition to epitopes recognized in epitope/antibody interactions, affinity tags also comprise "epitopes" recognized by other binding molecules (e.g., ligands bound by receptors), ligands bound by other ligands to form heterodimers or homodimers, His6 bound by Ni-NTA, biotin bound by avidin, streptavidin, or anti -biotin antibodies, and the like.
[0083] Epitope tags are well known to those of skill in the art. Moreover, antibodies specific to a wide variety of epitope tags are commercially available. These include but are not limited to myc epitopes (c-myc antibodies are available from Sigma, St. Louis), the HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope, the HA epitope, the HSV epitope, the His4, His5, and His6 epitopes that are recognized by the His epitope specific antibodies (see, e.g., Qiagen), and the like. In addition, vectors for epitope tagging proteins are commercially available. A polypeptide can be tagged with the FLAG® epitope (N-terminal, C-terminal or internal tagging), the c-myc epitope (C-terminal) or both the FLAG (N-terminal) and c-myc (C- terminal) epitopes. [0084] The term "conjugate" in the context of an FN3-based molecule refers to a chemical linkage between the FN3-based molecule and a non-FN3-based molecule. It is specifically contemplated that this excludes a regular peptide bond found between amino acid residues under physiologic conditions in some embodiments.
[0085] Other embodiments of the invention are discussed throughout this application. Any embodiment discussed with respect to one aspect of the invention applies to other aspects of the invention as well and vice versa. The embodiments in the Example section are understood to be embodiments of the invention that are applicable to all aspects of the
invention.
[0086] The terms "inhibiting," "reducing," or "preventing," or any variation of these terms, when used in the claims and/or the specification includes any measurable decrease or complete inhibition to achieve a desired result. [0087] The use of the word "a" or "an" when used in conjunction with the term "comprising" in the claims and/or the specification may mean "one," but it is also consistent with the meaning of "one or more," "at least one," and "one or more than one."
[0088] It is contemplated that any embodiment discussed herein can be implemented with respect to any other embodiment discussed herein, and vice versa. Furthermore, compositions and kits can be used to achieve recited methods.
[0089] Throughout this application, the term "about" is used to indicate that a value includes the standard deviation of error for the device or method being employed to determine the value.
[0090] The use of the term "or" in the claims is used to mean "and/or" unless explicitly indicated to refer to alternatives only or the alternatives are mutually exclusive, although the disclosure supports a definition that refers to only alternatives and "and/or." It is also contemplated that anything listed using the term "or" may also be specifically excluded.
[0091] As used in this specification and claim(s), the words "comprising" (and any form of comprising, such as "comprise" and "comprises"), "having" (and any form of having, such as "have" and "has"), "including" (and any form of including, such as "includes" and "include") or "containing" (and any form of containing, such as "contains" and "contain") are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps.

The active-site residues are indicated as yellow stick models in which the oxygen and nitrogen atoms are colored red and blue, respectively, and labeled. The two molecules of a substrate analogue, HDS (1-hexadecanosulfonic acid), respectively binding to the scissile and non-scissile fatty acid binding sites are shown as stick model whose carbon atoms are colored green and labeled. A hydrophobic patch proposed as a non-scissile fatty acid-binding site is located behind the label "Ser209". The helical segment "Lid" that covers the scissile substrate-binding site is also indicated.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0104] The ability to generate enzyme modifiers has applications in biochemistry and industry. Typically, modifying substrate specificity of an enzyme requires at least some information regarding the enzyme's three-dimensional structure. However, sometimes the three-dimensional structure is not available and/or difficult to achieve. Described herein are methods for developing novel enzyme substrate specificity modifiers that can be generated in the absence of any knowledge regarding the enzyme's structure. Also described herein are polypeptides that bind to β-galactosidase and polypeptides that are inhibitors and specificity modifiers of β-galactosidase. Also described herein are polypeptides that bind to lipase 1 and polypeptides that are inhibitors and specificity modifiers of lipase 1.
I. ENZYME BINDING PROTEINS
[0105] In some embodiments, the enzyme binding protein is one that is identified from a library of enzyme binding proteins, wherein the proteins of the library have different binding specificities. In some embodiments, the enzyme binding protein is CDR-based. The term "CDR-based" refers to proteins that employ sequences and/or binding mechanisms that are the same or similar to CDRs (complementary determining region) from an antibody. In some embodiments, the EBP is an antibody mimetic. Antibody mimetics are organic compounds that, like antibodies, can specifically bind antigens, but that are not structurally related to antibodies. They are usually artificial peptides or proteins with a molar mass of about 3 to 20 kDa. Nucleic acids and small molecules are sometimes considered antibody mimetics as well,
but not artificial antibodies, antibody fragments and fusion proteins composed from these. Some types have an antibody-like beta-sheet structure. Common advantages over antibodies are better solubility, tissue penetration, stability towards heat and enzymes, and comparatively low production costs. In some embodiments, the advantage of using an antibody mimetic over antibodies relates to the smaller size of the mimetic.
A. Monobodies
[0106] In some embodiments, the EBP is a monobody. Monobodies, also known as Adnectins, are genetically engineered proteins that are able to bind to antigens (Koide et al. 1998). Despite their name, they are not parts of antibodies, which make them a type of antibody mimetic. Monobodies may consist of 94 amino acids and have a molecular mass of about 10 kDa, fifteen times smaller than an IgG type antibody and comparable to the size of a single variable domain of an antibody. They are based on the structure of human fibronectin, more specifically on its tenth extracellular type III domain.
[0107] Fibronectin is a high-molecular weight (approximately 440 kDa) extracellular matrix glycoprotein that binds to membrane-spanning receptor proteins called integrins (Pankov et al, 2002). Fibronectin exists as a dimer, consisting of two nearly identical polypeptide chains linked by a pair of C-terminal disulfide bonds (Mao and Schwarzbauer, 2005). Each fibronectin monomer contains three types of modules: type I, II, and III. All three modules are composed of two anti-parallel β-sheets; however, type I and type II are stabilized by intra-chain disulfide bonds, while type III modules do not contain any disulfide bridges. The absence of disulfide bonds in type III modules allows them to partially unfold under applied force (Erickson, 2002).
[0108] The modules are arranged into several functional and protein-binding domains along the length of a fibronectin monomer. Modules Illg.io correspond to the "cell-binding domain" of fibronectin. The RGD sequence (Arg-Gly-Asp) is located in III10 and is the site of cell attachment via α5β1 and ανβ3 integrins on the cell surface. The "synergy site" is in III9 and has a role in modulating fibronectin' s association with α5β1 integrins (Sechler et al., 1997).
[0109] One of the threee fibronectin binding domains, the FN3 domain, is about 100 amino acids long and possesses a beta sandwich structure having seven beta strands (strands A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) and has been established as an effective non-antibody, "alternative" scaffold for the generation of novel binding proteins. A member of the immunoglobulin
superfamily, FN3 has three surface exposed loops at one end of the molecule. Engineering strategies using this scaffold are based on combinatorial libraries created by diversifying both the length and amino acid sequence of the surface loops. From such libraries, FN3 variants capable of binding to a target of interest can be isolated using various selection methods. The utility of the FN3 scaffold has been demonstrated in producing high-affinity binding proteins to a number of different protein targets (See, for example, Gilbreth RN, et al, J Mol Biol. 2008;381 :407-18; Gilbreth RN, et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2011; 108:7751-6; Grebien F, et al, Cell. 2011; 147:306-19; Koide A, et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2002;99: 1253-8; Koide A, et al, J Mol Biol. 1998;284: 1141-51; Koide A, et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2007; 104:6632-7; Koide A, et al, J Mol Biol. 2012;415:393-405; Sha F, et al, Proc Natl AcadSci USA. 2013; 110: 14924-9; and Wojcik J, et al, Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2010; 17:519-27, each of which are incorporated by reference for all purposes). These binding proteins generated from this scaffold are referred to as monobodies. With its lack of disulfide bonds, ease of high-level expression in bacterial systems, and small size, the FN3 scaffold offers many advantages compared to conventional antibodies or fragments thereof. One example of a FN3 polypeptide or scaffold has the amino acid sequence
Val Ser Asp Val Pro Arg Asp Leu Glu Val Val Ala Ala Thr Pro Thr Ser Leu
Leu He Ser Trp Asp Ala Pro Ala Val Thr Val Arg Tyr Tyr Arg He Thr Tyr Gly Glu Thr Gly Gly Asn Ser Pro Val Gin Glu Phe Thr Val Pro Gly Ser
Lys
Ser Thr Ala Thr He Ser Gly Leu Lys Pro Gly Val Asp Tyr Thr He Thr Val Tyr
Ala Val Thr Gly Arg Gly Asp Ser Pro Ala Ser Ser Lys Pro He Ser He Asn Tyr
Arg Thr (SEQ ID NO:91).
[0110] In certain aspects, the FN3 scaffold or body comprises beta strand A, beta strand B, beta strand C, beta strand D, beta strand E, beta strand F, and beta strand G. Connecting beta strands A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are loop regions AB (15 - 16), BC (22 to 30), CD (39-45), DE (51-55), EF (60-66), and FG (76-87). Beta strand A precedes the AB loop and beta strand G follows the FG loop.
[0111] FN3 polypeptides can be modified by inserting or deleting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20 or more amino acids, or any range derivable therein, in a FN3 loop. Variants are discussed in U.S. Patent 6,673,901, which is hereby incorporated by reference with respect to embodiments regarding FN3 monobodies.
[0112] A combinatorial library is a collection of diverse compounds generated by either chemical synthesis or biological synthesis by combining a number of chemical "building blocks." For example, a linear combinatorial chemical library such as a polypeptide (e.g., mutein or variant) library is formed by combining a set of chemical building blocks called amino acids in every possible way for a given compound length. Millions of compounds can be synthesized through such combinatorial mixing of chemical building blocks. For example, one commentator has observed that the systematic, combinatorial mixing of 100 interchangeable chemical building blocks results in the theoretical synthesis of 100 million tetrameric compounds or 10 billion pentameric compounds (Gallop et al., 1994). [0113] Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to the use of a combinatorial library of FN3 domains. In certain aspects, polypeptides of the library include variations of amino acid sequence in one or more of the beta strands or body of the FN3 domains. In certain aspects, the library includes variations of amino acid sequences in one or more loops of the FN3 domains. In still further aspects, the library includes variation in both loops and beta strands of the FN3 domain.
[0114] FN3 variants can include alanine substitutions at one or more of amino acid positions. Substitutions include, but are not limited to conservative substitutions that have little or no effect on the overall net charge, polarity, or hydrophobicity of the protein.
[0115] In certain aspects, FN3 domains will have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 amino acid substitutions that include, but are not limited to the following FN3 residue substitutions (corresponding to SEQ ID NO:91): R30A, R30N, R30D, R30C, R30Q, R30E, R30G, R30H, R30I, R30L, R30K, R30M, R30F, R30P, R30S, R30T, R30W, R30Y, R30V, Y31A, Y31R, Y31N, Y31D, Y31C, Y31Q, Y31E, Y31G, Y31H, Y31I, Y31L, Y31K, Y31M, Y31F, Y31P, Y31 S, Y31T, Y31W, Y31V, R33A, R33N, R33D, R33C, R33Q, R33E, R33G, R33H, R33I, R33L, R33K, R33M, R33F, R33P, R33S, R33T, R33W, R33Y, R33V, T35A, T35R, T35N, T35D, T35C, T35Q, T35E, T35G, T35H, T35I, T35L, T35K, T35M, T35F, T35P, T35S, T35W, T35Y, T35V, G41A, G41R, G41N, G41D, G41C, G41Q, G41E, G41H, G41I, G41L, G41K, G41M, G41F, G41P, G41 S, G41T, G41W, G41Y, G41V, N42A, N42R, N42D, N42C, N42Q, N42E, N42G, N42H, N42I, N42L, N42K, N42M, N42F, N42P, N42S, N42T, N42W, N42Y, N42V, S43A, S43R, S43N, S43D, S43C, S43Q, S43E, S43G, S43H, S43I, S43L, S43K, S43M, S43F, S43P, S43T, S43W, S43Y, S43V, P44A, P44R, P44N, P44D, P44C, P44Q, P44E, P44G, P44H, P44I, P44L, P44K, P44M, P44F, P44S, P44T, P44W, P44Y, P44V, V45A, V45R, V45N, V45D, V45C,

[01 17] In certain aspects, the library comprises a variation in an amino acid corresponding to amino acid 30, 31, 33, 35, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 47, 49, 50, 71, 73, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81. 82, 83, 84, and/or 85 of SEQ ID NO:91 in combination with one or more residue corresponding to amino acid 30, 31, 33, 35, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 47, 49, 50, 71, 73, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81. 82, 83, 84, and/or 85.
B. Antibodies
[01 18] In some embodiments, the EBP is an antibody. The antibody can be any of the various antibodies described herein, non-limiting, examples of such include a polyclonal antibody, a monoclonal antibody, a chimeric antibody, a human antibody, a veneered antibody, a diabody, a humanized antibody, an antibody derivative, a recombinant humanized antibody, a nanobody, a heavy-chain only antibody (e.g. from camelids such as camel, llama, alpaca, etc.) or a derivative or fragment of each thereof.
[01 19] Antibodies can be generated using conventional techniques known in the art and are well-described in the literature. Several methodologies exist for production of polyclonal antibodies. For example, polyclonal antibodies are typically produced by immunization of a suitable mammal such as, but not limited to, chickens, goats, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, mice, rats, and rabbits. An antigen is injected into the mammal, induces the B-lymphocytes to produce immunoglobulins specific for the antigen. Immunoglobulins may be purified from the mammal's serum. Common variations of this methodology include modification of
adjuvants, routes and site of administration, injection volumes per site and the number of sites per animal for optimal production and humane treatment of the animal. For example, adjuvants typically are used to improve or enhance an immune response to antigens. Most adjuvants provide for an injection site antigen depot, which allows for a stow release of antigen into draining lymph nodes. Other adjuvants include surfactants which promote concentration of protein antigen molecules over a large surface area and immunostimulatory molecules. Non-limiting examples of adjuvants for polyclonal antibody generation include Freund's adjuvants, Ribi adjuvant system, and Titermax. Polyclonal antibodies can be generated using methods known in the art some of which are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,279,559; 7, 119,179; 7,060,800; 6,709,659; 6,656,746; 6,322,788; 5,686,073; and 5,670,153.
[0120] Monoclonal antibodies can be generated using conventional hybridoma techniques known in the art and well-described in the literature. For example, a hybridoma is produced by fusing a suitable immortal cell line (e.g., a myeloma cell line such as, but not limited to, Sp2/0, Sp2/0-AG14, NSO, NS1, NS2, AE-1, L.5, P3X63Ag8,653, Sp2 SA3, Sp2 MAI, Sp2 SSI, Sp2 SA5, U397, MIA 144, ACT IV, MOLT4, DA-1, JURKAT, WEHI, K-562, COS, RAJI, NIH 313, HL-60, MLA 144, NAMAIWA, NEURO 2A, CHO, PerC.6, YB2/0) or the like, or heteromyelomas, fusion products thereof, or any cell or fusion cell derived there from, or any other suitable cell line as known in the art, with antibody producing cells, such as, but not limited to, isolated or cloned spleen, peripheral blood, lymph, tonsil, or other immune or B cell containing cells, or any other cells expressing heavy or light chain constant or variable or framework or CDR sequences, either as endogenous or heterologous nucleic acid, as recombinant or endogenous, viral, bacterial, algal, prokaryotic, amphibian, insect, reptilian, fish, mammalian, rodent, equine, ovine, goat, sheep, primate, eukaryotic, genomic DNA, cDNA, rDNA, mitochondrial DNA or RNA, chloroplast DNA or RNA, hnRNA, mRNA, tRNA, single, double or triple stranded, hybridized, and the like or any combination thereof. Antibody producing cells can also be obtained from the peripheral blood or, preferably the spleen or lymph nodes, of humans or other suitable animals that have been immunized with the antigen of interest. Any other suitable host cell can also be used for expressing-heterologous or endogenous nucleic acid encoding an antibody, specified fragment or variant thereof, of the present disclosure. The fused cells (hybridomas) or recombinant cells can be isolated using selective culture conditions or other suitable known methods, and cloned by limiting dilution or cell sorting, or other known methods.
[0121] Other suitable methods of producing or isolating antibodies of the requisite specificity can be used, including, but not limited to, methods that select recombinant antibody from a peptide or protein library (e,g., but not limited to, a bacteriophage, ribosome, oligonucleotide, cDNA, or the like, display library; e.g., as available from various commercial vendors such as MorphoSys (Martinsreid/Planegg, Del.), Biolnvent (Lund, Sweden), Affitech (Oslo, Norway) using methods known in the art. Art known methods are described in the patent literature some of which include U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,704,692; 5,723,323; 5,763,192; 5,814,476; 5,817,483; 5,824,514; 5,976,862. Alternative methods rely upon immunization of transgenic animals (e.g., SCID mice, Nguyen et al. (1977) Microbiol. Immunol. 41 :901-907 (1997); Sandhu et al. (1996) Crit, Rev. Biotechnol. 16:95-118; Eren et al. (1998) Mumma 93 : 154-161 that are capable of producing a repertoire of human antibodies, as known in the art and/or as described herein. Such techniques, include, but are not limited to, ribosome display Wanes et al. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 94:4937- 4942; Hanes et al, (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

C. Affibodies
[0122] In some embodiments, the EBP is an affibody. Affibody molecules are small proteins engineered to bind to a large number of target proteins or peptides with high affinity, imitating monoclonal antibodies, and are therefore a member of the family of antibody mimetics. Affibody molecules are based on a three-helix bundle domain, which can be expressed in soluble and proteolytically stable forms in various host cells on its own or via fusion with other protein partners. They tolerate modification and are independently folding when incorporated into fusion proteins. Head-to-tail fusions of Affibody molecules of the same specificity have proven to give avidity effects in target binding, and head-to-tail fusion of Affibody molecules of different specificities makes it possible to get bi- or multi-specific affinity proteins. Fusions with other proteins can also be created. A site for site-specific conjugation is facilitated by introduction of a single cysteine at a desired position.
[0123] A number of different Affibody molecules have been produced by chemical
synthesis. Since they do not contain cysteines or disulfide bridges, they fold spontaneously and reversibly into the correct three-dimensional structures when the protection groups are removed after synthesis.
[0124] An Affibody molecule consists of three alpha helices with 58 amino acids and has a molar mass of about 6 kDa. Affibody molecules have been shown to withstand high temperatures (90 °C) or acidic and alkaline conditions (pH 2.5 or pH 11, respectively). Binders with an affinity of down to sub-nanomolar have been obtained from naive library selections, and binders with picomolar affinity have been obtained following affinity maturation. D. Anticalins
[0125] In some embodiments, the EBP is an anticalin. Anticalins are artificial proteins that are able to bind to antigens, either to proteins or to small molecules. They are not structurally related to antibodies, which makes them a type of antibody mimetic. Instead, they are derived from human lipocalins which are a family of naturally binding proteins. Anticalins can be used in place of monoclonal antibodies, but are about eight times smaller with a size of about 180 amino acids and a mass of about 20 kDa.
[0126] Anticalins have better tissue penetration than antibodies and are stable at temperatures up to 70 °C. Unlike antibodies, they can be produced in bacterial cells like E. coli in large amounts. While antibodies can only be directed at macromolecules such as proteins and at small molecules (haptens) only if bound to macromolecules, anticalins are able to selectively bind to small molecules as well.
[0127] Characteristic for anticalins is their barrel structure formed by eight antiparallel β- strands pairwise connected by loops and an attached a-helix. The main structure of anticalins is identical to wild type lipocalins. Conformational deviations are primarily located in the four loops reaching in the ligand binding site. Mutagenesis of amino acids at the binding site allows for changing the affinity and selectivity.
E. Kunitz variants
[0128] In some embodiments, the EBP is a Kunitz variant. Kunitz domains are the active domains of proteins that inhibit the function of protein degrading enzymes or, more specifically, domains of Kunitz-type are protease inhibitors. They are relatively small with a length of about 50 to 60 amino acids and a molecular weight of 6 kDa. Examples of Kunitz- type protease inhibitors are aprotinin (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, BPTI), Alzheimer's
amyloid precursor protein (APP), and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI).
[0129] The structure is a disulfide rich alpha+beta fold. Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor is an extensively studied model structure. Certain family members are similar to the tick anticoagulant peptide (TAP, PI 7726). This is a highly selective inhibitor of factor Xa in the blood coagulation pathways. TAP molecules are highly dipolar, and are arranged to form a twisted two-stranded antiparallel beta sheet followed by an alpha helix.
[0130] The majority of the sequences having this domain belong to the MEROPS inhibitor family 12, clan IB; the Kunitz/bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor family, they inhibit proteases of the SI family and are restricted to the metazoa with a single exception: Amsacta moorei entomopoxvirus, a species of poxvirus. They are short (about 50 to 60 amino acid residues) alpha eta proteins with few secondary structures. The fold is constrained by three disulfide bonds. The type example for this family is BPTI (or basic protease inhibitor), but the family includes numerous other members, such as snake venom basic protease; mammalian inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitors; trypstatin, a rat mast cell inhibitor of trypsin; a domain found in an alternatively spliced form of Alzheimer's amyloid beta-protein; domains at the C-termini of the alpha- 1 and alpha-3 chains of type VI and type VII collagens; tissue factor pathway inhibitor precursor; and Kunitz STI protease inhibitor contained in legume seeds.
[0131] Kunitz domains are stable as standalone peptides, able to recognise specific protein structures, and also work as competitive protease inhibitors in their free form. These properties are useful for developing EBPs. Candidate EBPs are selected from molecular libraries containing over 10 million variants with the aid of display techniques like phage display, and can be produced in large scale by genetically engineered organisms.
F. DARPins
[0132] In some embodiments, the EPB is a DARPin. DARPins (an acronym for designed ankyrin repeat proteins) are genetically engineered antibody mimetic proteins typically exhibiting highly specific and high-affinity target protein binding. They are derived from natural ankyrin proteins and consist of at least three, usually four or five repeat motifs of these proteins. Their molecular mass is about 14 or 18 kDa (kilodaltons) for four- or five- repeat DARPins, respectively.
[0133] DARPins are derived from naturally occurring ankyrin proteins, a protein class that is mediating high-affinity protein-protein interactions in nature. Sequence alignments of
several thousand natural ankyrin repeat motifs (of about 33 amino acids each) combined with structure based design and recombinant DNA methods is used for generation of these proteins. DARPins are composed of repetitive structural units forming a stable protein domain with a large potential target interaction surface. Typically, DARPins are composed of four or five repeats, corresponding to the average size of natural ankyrin repeat protein domains. Proteins with less than three repeats do not form a tertiary structure. The molecular mass depending on the number of repeats is as follows:
[0134] Libraries of DARPins with randomized potential target interaction residues with diversities of over 1012 variants have been generated at the DNA level. From these libraries, DARPins binding the target of choice with picomolar affinity and specificity can be selected using ribosome display or signal recognition particle (SRP) phage display.
[0135] DARPins are expressed in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli at high levels (over 10 g/1 in fermentation, 1 g/1 in shake flask) in soluble form. The proteins exhibit high thermal and thermodynamic stability (denaturation midpoint: Tm > 66 °C, equilibrium unfolding: AG > 9.5 kcal/mol), which is increasing with increasing repeat number. DARPins are stable in human blood serum and do not contain T-cell epitopes. The high specificity and affinity of binding DARPins has been attributed rigid body binding mode. Multi-specific or multivalent constructs made by genetic fusion show similar properties as single domain DARPins. The absence of cysteines in the scaffold enables engineering of site-specific cysteines, allowing site-directed coupling of chemicals to the molecule.
G. Other EBP scaffolds
[0136] Other some embodiments, the EBP is one known in the art. Further examples include affilins, affimers, affitins, alphabodies, avimers, and fynomers. H. Library Screening
[0137] Library screening can be conducted in order to select EBPs that bind to specific ligands or targets and/or confer a specific activity modification {e.g. substrate specificity modifier, inhibitor, etc ..) to the target (i.e. enzyme). Combinatorial screening can easily produce and screen a large number of EBPs, which is not feasible with specific mutagenesis
("rational design") approaches. EBPs with desired binding capabilities can be selected in vitro, recovered and amplified. The amino acid sequence of a selected clone can be identified readily by sequencing the nucleic acid encoding the selected EBP.
[0138] In some embodiments, a particular EBP has an affinity for a target that is at least 2- fold greater than the affinity of the polypeptide prior to substitutions discussed herein. In some embodiments, the affinity is, is at least, or is at most about 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, 15-, 20-, 25-, 30-, 35-, 40-, 45-, 50-, 60-, 70-, 80-, 90-, 100-fold increased compared to another FN3-based molecule.
[0139] Library construction of various different types of EBPs are known in the art, and are also available commercially for purchase. For example, Koide and Koide, Methods Mol. Biol., 352:95-109, 2007, which is herein incorporated by reference, describes construction of monobody libraries.
II. POLYPEPTIDE COMPOSITIONS
[0140] The present invention concerns methods and compositions related to the identification and use of monobodies and/or other binding polypeptides. In some embodiments, the binding polypeptide and/or monobody is an enzyme binding polypeptide (EBP). As used herein, a "monobody" is a polypeptide that binds to a specific antigen or antigens of another protein. As used herein, a "polypeptide" generally is defined herein to refer to a peptide sequence of about 10 to about 1,000 or more amino acid residues. [0141] In certain embodiments, the polypeptide is a fusion polypeptide that is linked at the N- or C-terminus to a second peptide or polypeptide. The second polypeptide may be another binding polypeptide or a detectable label, for example. In other embodiments, the polypeptide comprises a linker interposed between the binding polypeptide and the second peptide or polypeptide sequence. Linkers are discussed in greater detail in the specification below.
[0142] Furthermore, the polypeptides set forth herein may comprise a sequence of any number of additional amino acid residues at either the N-terminus or C-terminus of the amino acid sequence. For example, there may be an amino acid sequence of about 3 to about 1,000 or more amino acid residues at either the N-terminus, the C-terminus, or both the N-terminus and C-terminus of the amino acid sequence that includes the binding polypeptide.
[0143] The polypeptide may include the addition of an antibody epitope or other tag, to facilitate identification, targeting, and/or purification of the polypeptide. The use of 6xHis
and GST (glutathione S transferase) as tags is well known. Inclusion of a cleavage site at or near the fusion junction will facilitate removal of the extraneous polypeptide after purification. Other amino acid sequences that may be included in the polypeptide include functional domains, such as active sites from enzymes such as a hydrolase, glycosylation domains, cellular targeting signals or transmembrane regions. The polypeptide may further include one or more additional tissue-targeting moieties.
[0144] Polypeptides may possess deletions and/or substitutions of amino acids relative to the native sequence. Sequences with amino acid substitutions are contemplated, as are sequences with a deletion, and sequences with a deletion and a substitution. In some embodiments, these polypeptides may further include insertions or added amino acids.
[0145] Substitutional or replacement variants typically contain the exchange of one amino acid for another at one or more sites within the protein and may be designed to modulate one or more properties of the polypeptide, particularly to increase its efficacy or specificity. Substitutions of this kind may or may not be conservative substitutions. Conservative substitution is when one amino acid is replaced with one of similar shape and charge. In embodiments wherein the binding polypeptide is a monobody library, the monobody library serves to provide a diversity of amino acid sequences and binding selectivity conservative substitutions are not required. However, if used, conservative substitutions are well known in the art and include, for example, the changes of alanine to serine; arginine to lysine; asparagine to glutamine or histidine; aspartate to glutamate; cysteine to serine; glutamine to asparagine; glutamate to aspartate; glycine to proline; histidine to asparagine or glutamine; isoleucine to leucine or valine; leucine to valine or isoleucine; lysine to arginine; methionine to leucine or isoleucine; phenylalanine to tyrosine, leucine or methionine; serine to threonine; threonine to serine; tryptophan to tyrosine; tyrosine to tryptophan or phenylalanine; and valine to isoleucine or leucine. Changes other than those discussed above are generally considered not to be conservative substitutions. It is specifically contemplated that one or more of the conservative substitutions above may be included as embodiments. In some embodiments, such substitutions are specifically excluded. Furthermore, in additional embodiments, substitutions that are not conservative are employed in variants. [0146] In addition to a deletion or substitution, the polypeptides may possess an insertion of one or more residues.
[0147] The binding polypeptide sequence may be structurally equivalent to the native
counterparts. For example, the binding polypeptide sequence forms the appropriate structure and conformation for binding targets, proteins, or peptide segments.
[0148] The following is a discussion based upon changing of the amino acids of a polypeptide to create a library of molecules or a second-generation molecule. For example, certain amino acids may be substituted for other amino acids in a polypeptide without appreciable loss of function, such as ability to interact with a target peptide sequence. Since it is the interactive capacity and nature of a polypeptide that defines that polypeptide's functional activity, certain amino acid substitutions can be made in a polypeptide sequence and nevertheless produce a polypeptide with like properties. [0149] In making such changes, the hydropathic index of amino acids may be considered. The importance of the hydropathic amino acid index in conferring interactive function on a protein is generally understood in the art (Kyte and Doolittle, 1982). It is accepted that the relative hydropathic character of the amino acid contributes to the secondary structure of the resultant protein, which in turn defines the interaction of the protein with other molecules, for example, enzymes, substrates, receptors, DNA, antibodies, antigens, and the like.
[0150] It also is understood in the art that the substitution of like amino acids can be made effectively on the basis of hydrophilicity. U.S. Patent 4,554,101, incorporated herein by reference, states that the greatest local average hydrophilicity of a protein, as governed by the hydrophilicity of its adjacent amino acids, correlates with a biological property of the protein. As detailed in U.S. Patent 4,554,101, the following hydrophilicity values have been assigned to amino acid residues: arginine (+3.0); lysine (+3.0); aspartate (+3.0 ± 1); glutamate (+3.0 ± 1); serine (+0.3); asparagine (+0.2); glutamine (+0.2); glycine (0); threonine (-0.4); proline (- 0.5 ± 1); alanine (-0.5); histidine (-0.5); cysteine (-1.0); methionine (-1.3); valine (-1.5); leucine (-1.8); isoleucine (-1.8); tyrosine (-2.3); phenylalanine (-2.5); tryptophan (-3.4). [0151] It is understood that an amino acid can be substituted for another having a similar hydrophilicity value and still produce a biologically equivalent and immunologically equivalent protein. In such changes, the substitution of amino acids whose hydrophilicity values are within ±2 is preferred, those that are within ±1 are particularly preferred, and those within ±0.5 are even more particularly preferred. [0152] As outlined above, amino acid substitutions generally are based on the relative similarity of the amino acid side-chain substituents, for example, their hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, charge, size, and the like. However, in some aspects a non-conservative
substitution is contemplated. In certain aspects a random substitution is also contemplated. Exemplary substitutions that take into consideration the various foregoing characteristics are well known to those of skill in the art and include: arginine and lysine; glutamate and aspartate; serine and threonine; glutamine and asparagine; and valine, leucine and isoleucine.
[0153] Proteinaceous compositions may be made by any technique known to those of skill in the art, including (i) the expression of proteins, polypeptides, or peptides through standard molecular biological techniques, (ii) the isolation of proteinaceous compounds from natural sources, or (iii) the chemical synthesis of proteinaceous materials. The nucleotide as well as the protein, polypeptide, and peptide sequences for various genes have been previously disclosed, and may be found in the recognized computerized databases. One such database is the National Center for Biotechnology Information's GenBank and GenPept databases (on the World Wide Web at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). The all or part of the coding regions for these genes may be amplified and/or expressed using the techniques disclosed herein or as would be known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0154] Amino acid sequence variants of other polypeptides of these compositions can be substitutional, insertional, or deletion variants. A modification in a polypeptide may affect 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327,
328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349, 350, 351, 352, 353, 354, 355, 356, 357, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370, 371, 372, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, 398, 399, 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408, 409, 410, 411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417, 418, 419, 420, 421, 422, 423, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429, 430, 431, 432, 433, 434, 435, 436, 437, 438, 439, 440, 441, 442, 443, 444, 445, 446, 447, 448, 449, 450, 451, 452, 453, 454, 455, 456, 457, 458, 459, 460, 461, 462, 463, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 471, 472, 473, 474, 475, 476, 477, 478, 479, 480, 481, 482, 483, 484, 485, 486, 487, 488, 489, 490, 491, 492, 493, 494, 495, 496, 497, 498, 499, 500 or more non-contiguous or contiguous amino acids of a peptide or polypeptide, as compared to the original polypeptide.
[0155] Proteins may be recombinant, or synthesized in vitro. Alternatively, a recombinant protein may be isolated from bacteria or other host cell.
[0156] The term "functionally equivalent codon" is used herein to refer to codons that encode the same amino acid, such as the six codons for arginine or serine, and also refers to codons that encode biologically equivalent amino acids.
[0157] It also will be understood that amino acid and nucleic acid sequences may include additional residues, such as additional N- or C-terminal amino acids, or 5' or 3' nucleic acid sequences, respectively, and yet still be essentially as set forth in one of the sequences disclosed herein, so long as the sequence meets the criteria set forth above, including the maintenance of biological protein activity. The addition of terminal sequences particularly applies to nucleic acid sequences that may, for example, include various non-coding sequences flanking either of the 5' or 3' portions of the coding region.
[0158] It is contemplated that in composition embodiments, there is between about 0.001 mg and about 10 mg of total protein per ml. Thus, the concentration of protein in a composition can be about, at least about or at most about 0.001, 0.010, 0.050, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 50, 100 .mu.g/ml or mg/ml or more (or any range derivable therein).
[0159] The polypeptides described herein may be fused, conjugated, or operatively linked to a label. As used herein, the term "label" intends a directly or indirectly detectable compound or composition that is conjugated directly or indirectly to the composition to be detected, e.g., polynucleotide or protein to generate a "labeled" composition. The term also
includes sequences conjugated to the polynucleotide that will provide a signal upon expression of the inserted sequences, such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the like. The label may be detectable by itself (e.g. radioisotope labels or fluorescent labels) or, in the case of an enzymatic label, may catalyze chemical alteration of a substrate compound or composition which is detectable. The labels can be suitable for small scale detection or more suitable for high-throughput screening. As such, suitable labels include, but are not limited to radioisotopes, fluorochromes, chemiluminescent compounds, dyes, and proteins, including enzymes. The label may be simply detected or it may be quantified. A response that is simply detected generally comprises a response whose existence merely is confirmed, whereas a response that is quantified generally comprises a response having a quantifiable (e.g., numerically reportable) value such as an intensity, polarization, and/or other property. In luminescence or fluoresecence assays, the detectable response may be generated directly using a luminophore or fluorophore associated with an assay component actually involved in binding, or indirectly using a luminophore or fluorophore associated with another (e.g., reporter or indicator) component.
[0160] Examples of luminescent labels that produce signals include, but are not limited to bioluminescence and chemiluminescence. Detectable luminescence response generally comprises a change in, or an occurrence of, a luminescence signal. Suitable methods and luminophores for luminescently labeling assay components are known in the art and described for example in Haugland, Richard P. (1996) Handbook of Fluorescent Probes and Research Chemicals (6.sup.th ed.). Examples of luminescent probes include, but are not limited to, aequorin and luciferases.
[0161] Examples of suitable fluorescent labels include, but are not limited to, fluorescein, rhodamine, tetramethylrhodamine, eosin, erythrosin, coumarin, methyl-coumarins, pyrene, Malacite green, stilbene, Lucifer Yellow, Cascade Blue.TM., and Texas Red. Other suitable optical dyes are described in the Haugland, Richard P. (1996) Handbook of Fluorescent Probes and Research Chemicals (6.sup.th ed.).
[0162] In another aspect, the fluorescent label is functionalized to facilitate covalent attachment to a cellular component present in or on the surface of the cell or tissue such as a cell surface marker. Suitable functional groups, including, but not are limited to, isothiocyanate groups, amino groups, haloacetyl groups, maleimides, succinimidyl esters, and sulfonyl halides, all of which may be used to attach the fluorescent label to a second molecule. The choice of the functional group of the fluorescent label will depend on the site
of attachment to either a linker, the agent, the marker, or the second labeling agent.
[0163] Attachment of the fluorescent label may be either directly to the cellular component or compound or alternatively, can by via a linker. Suitable binding pairs for use in indirectly linking the fluorescent label to the intermediate include, but are not limited to, antigens/antibodies, e.g., rhodamine/anti-rhodamine, biotin/avidin and biotin/strepavidin.
III. POLYNUCLEOTIDES
[0164] Aspects of the disclosure relate to polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides. The terms "polynucleotide" and "oligonucleotide" are used interchangeably and refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, either deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides or analogs thereof. Polynucleotides can have any three-dimensional structure and may perform any function, known or unknown. The following are non-limiting examples of polynucleotides: a gene or gene fragment (for example, a probe, primer, EST or SAGE tag), exons, introns, messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, ribozymes, cDNA, dsPvNA, siRNA, miRNA, recombinant polynucleotides, branched polynucleotides, plasmids, vectors, isolated DNA of any sequence, isolated RNA of any sequence, nucleic acid probes and primers. A polynucleotide can comprise modified nucleotides, such as methylated nucleotides and nucleotide analogs. If present, modifications to the nucleotide structure can be imparted before or after assembly of the polynucleotide. The sequence of nucleotides can be interrupted by non-nucleotide components. A polynucleotide can be further modified after polymerization, such as by conjugation with a labeling component. The term also refers to both double- and single-stranded molecules. Unless otherwise specified or required, any embodiment of the disclosure that is a polynucleotide encompasses both the double-stranded form and each of two complementary single-stranded forms known or predicted to make up the double-stranded form. [0165] The term "complementary" as used herein refers to Watson-Crick base pairing between nucleotides and specifically refers to nucleotides hydrogen bonded to one another with thymine or uracil residues linked to adenine residues by two hydrogen bonds and cytosine and guanine residues linked by three hydrogen bonds. In general, a nucleic acid includes a nucleotide sequence described as having a "percent complementarity" to a specified second nucleotide sequence. For example, a nucleotide sequence may have 80%, 90%, or 100%) complementarity to a specified second nucleotide sequence, indicating that 8 of 10, 9 of 10 or 10 of 10 nucleotides of a sequence are complementary to the specified
second nucleotide sequence. For instance, the nucleotide sequence 3'-TCGA-5' is 100% complementary to the nucleotide sequence 5 -AGCT-3'. Further, the nucleotide sequence 3'- TCGA- is 100% complementary to a region of the nucleotide sequence 5'-TTAGCTGG-3'. It will be recognized by one of skill in the art that two complementary nucleotide sequences include a sense strand and an antisense strand.
[0166] Polypeptides may be encoded by a nucleic acid molecule in the composition. In certain embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule can be in the form of a nucleic acid vector. The term "vector" is used to refer to a carrier nucleic acid molecule into which a heterologous nucleic acid sequence can be inserted for introduction into a cell where it can be replicated and expressed. A nucleic acid sequence can be "heterologous," which means that it is in a context foreign to the cell in which the vector is being introduced or to the nucleic acid in which is incorporated, which includes a sequence homologous to a sequence in the cell or nucleic acid but in a position within the host cell or nucleic acid where it is ordinarily not found. Vectors include DNAs, RNAs, plasmids, cosmids, viruses (bacteriophage, animal viruses, and plant viruses), and artificial chromosomes (e.g., YACs). One of skill in the art would be well equipped to construct a vector through standard recombinant techniques (for example Sambrook et al., 2001; Ausubel et al., 1996, both incorporated herein by reference). Vectors may be used in a host cell to produce an antibody.
[0167] The term "expression vector" refers to a vector containing a nucleic acid sequence coding for at least part of a gene product capable of being transcribed or stably integrate into a host cell's genome and subsequently be transcribed. In some cases, RNA molecules are then translated into a protein, polypeptide, or peptide. Expression vectors can contain a variety of "control sequences," which refer to nucleic acid sequences necessary for the transcription and possibly translation of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism. In addition to control sequences that govern transcription and translation, vectors and expression vectors may contain nucleic acid sequences that serve other functions as well and are described herein. It is contemplated that expression vectors that express a marker may be useful in the invention. In other embodiments, the marker is encoded on an mRNA and not in an expression vector. [0168] A "promoter" is a control sequence. The promoter is typically a region of a nucleic acid sequence at which initiation and rate of transcription are controlled. It may contain genetic elements at which regulatory proteins and molecules may bind such as RNA polymerase and other transcription factors. The phrases "operatively positioned,"
"operatively linked," "under control," and "under transcriptional control" mean that a promoter is in a correct functional location and/or orientation in relation to a nucleic acid sequence to control transcriptional initiation and expression of that sequence. A promoter may or may not be used in conjunction with an "enhancer," which refers to a cis-acting regulatory sequence involved in the transcriptional activation of a nucleic acid sequence.
[0169] The particular promoter that is employed to control the expression of a peptide or protein encoding polynucleotide is not believed to be critical, so long as it is capable of expressing the polynucleotide in a targeted cell, preferably a bacterial cell. Where a human cell is targeted, it is preferable to position the polynucleotide coding region adjacent to and under the control of a promoter that is capable of being expressed in a human cell. Generally speaking, such a promoter might include either a bacterial, human or viral promoter. In some embodiments, the host cell is an eukaryotic cell. In some embodiments, using eukaryotic cells is beneficial, as it provides for secondary modifications that may not be present in certain prokaryotic systems. [0170] A specific initiation signal also may be required for efficient translation of coding sequences. These signals include the ATG initiation codon or adjacent sequences. Exogenous translational control signals, including the ATG initiation codon, may need to be provided. One of ordinary skill in the art would readily be capable of determining this and providing the necessary signals. [0171] Vectors can include a multiple cloning site (MCS), which is a nucleic acid region that contains multiple restriction enzyme sites, any of which can be used in conjunction with standard recombinant technology to digest the vector. (See Carbonelli et al, 1999, Levenson et al, 1998, and Cocea, 1997, incorporated herein by reference.)
[0172] Most transcribed eukaryotic RNA molecules will undergo RNA splicing to remove introns from the primary transcripts. Vectors containing genomic eukaryotic sequences may require donor and/or acceptor splicing sites to ensure proper processing of the transcript for protein expression. (See Chandler et al., 1997, incorporated herein by reference.)
[0173] The vectors or constructs will generally comprise at least one termination signal. A "termination signal" or "terminator" is comprised of the DNA sequences involved in specific termination of an RNA transcript by an RNA polymerase. Thus, in certain embodiments a termination signal that ends the production of an RNA transcript is contemplated. A terminator may be necessary in vivo to achieve desirable message levels. In eukaryotic
systems, the terminator region may also comprise specific DNA sequences that permit site- specific cleavage of the new transcript so as to expose a polyadenylation site. This signals a specialized endogenous polymerase to add a stretch of about 200 A residues (poly A) to the 3' end of the transcript. RNA molecules modified with this polyA tail appear to more stable and are translated more efficiently. Thus, in other embodiments involving eukaryotes, it is preferred that that terminator comprises a signal for the cleavage of the RNA, and it is more preferred that the terminator signal promotes polyadenylation of the message.
[0174] In expression, particularly eukaryotic expression, one will typically include a polyadenylation signal to effect proper polyadenylation of the transcript. [0175] In order to propagate a vector in a host cell, it may contain one or more origins of replication sites (often termed "ori"), which is a specific nucleic acid sequence at which replication is initiated. Alternatively an autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) can be employed if the host cell is yeast.
[0176] Some vectors may employ control sequences that allow it to be replicated and/or expressed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. One of skill in the art would further understand the conditions under which to incubate all of the above described host cells to maintain them and to permit replication of a vector. Also understood and known are techniques and conditions that would allow large-scale production of vectors, as well as production of the nucleic acids encoded by vectors and their cognate polypeptides, proteins, or peptides.
[0177] The polynucleotides and polypeptides of the disclosure may be transfected of transformed into host cells or expressed in host cells. As used herein, the terms "cell," "cell line," and "cell culture" may be used interchangeably. All of these terms also include both freshly isolated cells and ex vivo cultured, activated or expanded cells. All of these terms also include their progeny, which is any and all subsequent generations. It is understood that all progeny may not be identical due to deliberate or inadvertent mutations. In the context of expressing a heterologous nucleic acid sequence, "host cell" refers to a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell, and it includes any transformable organism that is capable of replicating a vector or expressing a heterologous gene encoded by a vector. A host cell can, and has been, used as a recipient for vectors or viruses. A host cell may be "transfected" or "transformed," which refers to a process by which exogenous nucleic acid, such as a recombinant protein- encoding sequence, is transferred or introduced into the host cell. A transformed cell
includes the primary subject cell and its progeny. Common host cells include bacteria (such as E.coli, B. subtilis, S.viofoceoruber), yeast (such as S.cerevisiae, P.pastoris), fungi (such as A.oryzae) or eukaryotic cells.
IV. KITS
[0178] Kits are also contemplated as being made or used in certain aspects of the disclosure. For instance, a polypeptide or nucleic acid of the disclosure can be included in a kit. A kit can be included in a sealed container. Non-limiting examples of containers include a microtiter plate, a bottle, a metal tube, a laminate tube, a plastic tube, a dispenser, a pressurized container, a barrier container, a package, a compartment, or other types of containers such as injection or blow-molded plastic containers into which the dispersions or compositions or desired bottles, dispensers, or packages are retained. Other examples of containers include glass or plastic vials or bottles. The kit and/or container can include indicia on its surface. The indicia, for example, can be a word, a phrase, an abbreviation, a picture, or a symbol.
[0179] The containers can dispense or contain a pre-determined amount of a composition of the disclosure. The composition can be dispensed as a liquid, a fluid, or a semi-solid. A kit can also include instructions for using the kit and/or compositions. Instructions can include an explanation of how to use and maintain the compositions.
[0180] Kits may also include libraries of binding polypeptides (e.g. monobody libraries) and instructions for identifying enzyme substrate modifiers, inhibitors, and/or binding proteins. The kits may include additional components such as buffers, diluents, and specific assay compents to determine enzyme activity and/or enzyme substrate specificity.

V. EXAMPLES
[0182] The following examples are given for the purpose of illustrating various embodiments and are not meant to limit the present invention in any fashion. One skilled in the art will appreciate readily that the present invention is well adapted to carry out the objects and obtain the ends and advantages mentioned, as well as those objects, ends and advantages inherent herein. The present examples, along with the methods described herein are presently representative of preferred embodiments, are exemplary, and are not intended as limitations on the scope of the invention. Changes therein and other uses which are encompassed within the spirit of the invention as defined by the scope of the claims will occur to those skilled in the art.
EXAMPLE 1: Monobody -mediated enhancement of β-galactosidase enzyme specificity
[0183] Current methods for engineering enzymes modify enzymes themselves and require a detailed mechanistic understanding or a high-throughput assay. The current methods of the disclosure describe a new approach where catalytic properties are modulated with binding proteins directed to an unmodified enzyme. This example uses synthetic binding proteins called monobodies. Using the example of a β-galactosidase of unknown three-dimensional structure, monobodies that restricted its substrates and selectively enhanced the production of small oligosaccharide prebiotics were identified.
[0184] Engineering enzymes with desirable catalytic properties remains a major goal of biotechnology, as enzymes are important in many industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, food, dairy and textile. Essentially all standard enzyme-engineering approaches, e.g., structure-guided design and directed evolution (See, for example, Wilks, H.M. et al. Science 242, 1541-1544 (1988); Chen, K.Q. & Arnold, F.H. Biotechnology (N Y) 9, 1073-1077 (1991); Bornscheuer, U.T. et al. Nature 485, 185-194 (2012); Davids, T., Schmidt, M., Bottcher, D. & Bornscheuer, U.T. Curr Opin Chem Biol 17, 215-220 (2013); and Goldsmith, M. & Tawfik, D.S. Curr Opin Struct Biol 22, 406-412 (2012)), modify the enzyme itself. The prerequisites of these approaches limit their broader application. Structure-guided design requires detailed knowledge of the three-dimensional (3D) structure and catalytic mechanism of the target enzyme, and directed evolution requires effective strategies for generating and screening numerous mutant enzymes. De novo enzyme design also requires detailed understanding of the reaction mechanism (Mak, W.S. & Siegel, J.B. Curr Opin Struct Biol 27, 87-94 (2014)). Industrial enzymes are often purified from their
native hosts because they cannot be recombinantly produced in organisms suitable for protein engineering such as Escherichia coli and yeast. Their 3D structures are seldom known, and their assays are often labor intensive. These characteristics make it a formidable challenge to apply standard protein-engineering approaches to industrial enzymes, although it is often desired to modulate their properties.
[0185] This example describes a new approach to modulate catalytic properties of enzymes that are recalcitrant to traditional enzyme-engineering techniques, by using synthetic binding proteins termed monobodies (FIG. 1A). Protein design technologies are applied to the generation of synthetic binding proteins that bind to the target enzyme. Importantly, this method leaves the target enzyme itself unchanged, and it can be applied to any enzyme. Whereas different classes of binding proteins in terms of their effect and their respective utilities can be envisioned (FIG. IB), the present study is focused on enhancing the substrate specificity, a generally challenging task in protein engineering.
[0186] This approach was tested on the modulation of substrate specificity of a β- galactosidase from B. circulans ATCC 31382. This enzyme catalyzes lactose hydrolysis and trans-galactosylation reactions (FIG. 1C and FIG. ID, respectively)(Song, J. et al. Biosci Biotechnol Biochem 75, 1194-1197 (2011)). Because its trans-galactosylation reactions yield galacto-oligosaccharides (GOSs) that are recognized as beneficial prebiotics, it is utilized for industrial production of GOSs under the trademark of Biolacta®. However, because GOSs of any length can be the substrate of the trans-galactosylation reaction (FIG. ID), the enzyme produces a wide range of GOSs, leading to low yields of GOSs of a specific size. Such broad substrate specificity is observed for many enzyme families that form and/or break biopolymers, including proteases, glycosidases, and lipases. Tailoring substrate specificity of these classes of enzymes is often desired but challenging. [0187] Applicants envisioned enhancing the production of short GOSs by engineering the β-galactosidase in such a way that prevented the enzyme from using large GOS species as substrates. Cloning and functional expression of this enzyme in E. coli have recently been reported, and four residues that constitute the putative active-site have been identified via inactivating mutations8. It is a large protein, and its shortest active fragment used in this work was -100 kDa (termed BgaD-D; see Methods) 9. Its 3D structure or molecular details of its substrate recognition has not been elucidated. Furthermore, no high-throughput assays for profiling GOSs are available. Thus, it has been challenging to alter catalytic properties of BgaD-D using conventional approaches. In fact, none among hundreds of BgaD-D mutations
constructed based on homology models exhibited the desired catalytic profile defined above (unpublished).
[0188] Applicants hypothesized that BgaD-D has subsites (-1, +1, +2, +3 and so on), each recognizing a glycosyl residue, with hydrolysis and trans-galactosylation occurring using the same catalytic site located between -1 and +1 (FIG. 1C, D). Applicants further hypothesized that blocking subsite +3 diminishes the production of tetra- and larger oligosaccharides while minimally affecting lactose hydrolysis and tri-saccharide production (FIG. IE). Structure- guided mutagenesis directed to subsites distant from the catalytic residues has successfully altered substrate specificity of other glycosyltransferases and other enzyme types (See, for example, van der Veen, B.A. et al. JMol Biol 296, 1027-1038 (2000); Chen-Goodspeed, M., Sogorb, M.A., Wu, F. & Raushel, F.M. Biochemistry 40, 1332-1339 (2001); and Schmitt, J., Brocca, S., Schmid, R.D. & Pleiss, J. Protein Eng 15, 595-601 (2002)), supporting this concept. However, it is emphasized that this method is performed without any knowledge of the presence and precise locations of such subsites in BgaD-D. These hypotheses in turn posit that binding proteins with desired specificity-enhancing characteristics should bind to the close vicinity of the catalytic center but should not inhibit lactose hydrolysis.
[0189] A series of monobodies, synthetic binding proteins based on the 10th human fibronectin type III (FN3) domain (FIG. 1A), directed to BgaD-D were generated by performing combinatorial library selection using phage- and yeast-display technologies as previously established (Koide, A., Bailey, C.W., Huang, X. & Koide, S. J Mol Biol 284, 1141-1151 (1998) and Koide, A., Wojcik, J., Gilbreth, R.N., Hoey, R.J. & Koide, S. J Mol Biol 415, 393-405 (2012)). The monobody system has generated numerous potent and specific binding proteins (Wojcik, J. et al. Nat Struct Mol Biol 17, 519-527 (2010)). Monobodies have strong tendency to bind to a functional site in the target protein (Gilbreth, R.N. et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 108, 7751-7756 (2011) and Sha, F. et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 110, 14924-14929 (2013)), and it was envisioned that its small size might be beneficial in precisely targeting a specific subsite. The monobodies from the initial, unbiased selection, represented by Mb(BgaD_L02), Mb(BgaD_S09) and Mb(BgaD SlO) bound strongly to three distinct epitopes of BgaD-D in the absence of substrates, as determined in competitive binding experiments using purified monobody samples (FIG. 2 A and FIG. 3). However, none showed significant effects on BgaD-D catalytic activity (FIG. 2C and FIG. 3), suggesting that they are inert binders binding to locations distant from the active site (FIG. 1 A and 2A).
[0190] To obtain monobodies that bind to the close vicinity of the active site, second selection campaign was performed in which the three monobodies were used to mask the dominant, non-functional epitopes (FIG. 2A). This selection yielded a monobody, Mb(BgaD_L14), that bound tightly to BgaD-D (ΚΌ = 31 ± 2.3 nM; FIG. 3B) and potently inhibited BgaD-D as assayed with onitro-phenyl β-D-glucopyranoside (O PG) hydrolysis, a proxy assay for the di-saccharide hydrolysis activity (FIG. 2C). These results suggest that Mb(BgaD_L14) may bind to regions critical to catalysis, e.g. subsites -1 and/or +1 (FIG. 1C).
[0191] It was then hypothesized that desired specificity enhancers should bind to the close vicinity of the active site pocket and that their epitopes may overlap with the epitope of the inhibitory monobody, Mb(BgaD_L14). Accordingly, Applicants performed the third selection campaign, in which monobodies that are competed by Mb(BgaD_L14) but showed low inhibition of ONPG hydrolysis were recovered. A new monobody, Mb(BgaD_L19), was obtained that was competitively inhibited by Mb(BgaD_L14) but minimally affected ONPG hydrolysis (FIG. 2C). Because it bound weakly to BgaD-D (ΚΌ = 600 ± 170 nM as assayed using yeast-surface display; FIG. 3A), the affinity of Mb(BgaD_L19) was then improved by error-prone PCR and directed evolution. A new monobody, Mb(BgaD_L23), had higher affinity (ΚΌ = 12 ± 3 nM as assayed using yeast surface display) and maintained the desired binding profile of Mb(BgaD_L19) (FIG. 2B and FIG. 3). Both Mb(BgaD_L19) and Mb(BgaD_L23) did not compete with the three inert monobodies, as expected (FIG. 2B). [0192] Next, Applicants characterized these monobodies to determine whether they alter the substrate specificity of the enzyme as was hypothesized (FIG. IE). Their effects are shown in plots of the amount of each oligosaccharide versus reaction time and also the amount of consumed lactose, a common presentation format for comparing oligosaccharide productivity that compensates for different catalytic rates (FIG. 2D, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5). Mb(BgaD_L23) showed little effect on lactose hydrolysis and the production of mono-, di-, and tri-saccharides (FIG. 2D) By contrast, it greatly diminished the production of tetra- oligosaccharides and larger species (DP4+) (FIG. 2D). FIG. 2E compares the product profiles at the time point when the total amount of oligosaccharides reaches the maximum, a comparison that reflects the actual use of the enzyme (due to the galactosidase activity of the enzyme, longer reaction times beyond this point lead to GOS hydrolysis). Notably, the BgaD- D/Mb(BgaD_L23) complex produced the highest amount of tri- saccharide (DP3) and reduced the production of DP4 and DP5+ species by 4.5 and 30 folds, respectively, compared with BgaD-D alone and with the other monobodies (FIG. 2E). This pattern of
restricted GOS production is consistent with our model (FIG IE). Interestingly, although Mb(BgaD_L14) potently inhibited the hydrolysis activity of BgaD-D toward lactose and similarly reduced the rates of trans-galactosylation reactions (FIG. 4), it did not affect the oligosaccharide production profile (FIG. 2D). These results are consistent with a model in which the inhibitor monobody occupies the enzyme active site (e.g. -1 and/or +1 in FIG. IB), and only the free enzyme is catalytically active for either lactose hydrolysis or trans- galactosylation. The inert monobody, Mb(BgaD_L02) likewise showed no effects, as expected (FIG. 2D).
[0193] Mb(BgaD_L23) showed little effect on lactose hydrolysis and the production of mono-, di- and tri-saccharides (FIG. 2D). By contrast, it greatly diminished the production of tetra-oligosaccharides (DP4) and larger species (DP5+) (FIG. 2D). Notably, it enhanced tri- saccharide (DP3) production in a higher lactose conversion regime. This production pattern is consistent with Applicant's model (FIG. IE).
[0194] To characterize the action mechanisms of the monobodies, effects of mutations at a putative active-site residue, E447 were tested. Mutating this residue to Gin, Arg or Lys did not affect binding of the inert monobodies, as expected (FIG. 2F and FIG. 6). By contrast, these mutations all abolished binding of Mb(BgaD_L14). The sensitivity of Mb(BgaD_L14) to the subtle perturbation by E447Q suggests that it directly binds to the active site. The specificity-enhancing monobodies, Mb(BgaD_L19) and Mb(BgaD_L23), were moderately affected by the mutations, more strongly so by E447K and E447R than E447Q (FIG. 2F and FIG. 6), suggesting that they bound to a region near E447. Together with the binding competition results (FIG. 2B), these results further support the model (FIG. 2A) that Mb(BgaD_L14) binds directly to the active site and Mb(BgaD_L19) and Mb(BgaD_L23) binds near the active site. [0195] To clarify whether the specificity-enhancing monobodies achieve their function by limiting access of larger substrates to the enzyme, the effects of oligosaccharides on the monobody-BgaD-D interactions were then tested. The competition between the reaction products and monobodies were tested. Whereas oligosaccharides of different sizes all blocked the binding of the inhibitor monobody, Mb(BgaD_L14), the specificity-enhancing monobodies were inhibited only by longer oligosaccharides, DP4 and DP5, but not by DP3 (FIG. 2G). DP4 and DP5 are precisely the oligosaccharides whose production was reduced by the specificity-enhancing monobodies (FIG. 2D). The results strongly support the proposed mechanism of the specificity-enhancing monobodies (FIG. IE).
[0196] Applicant's success in enhancing enzyme specificity using monobodies illustrates that synthetic binding proteins can precisely modulate enzyme properties without modifying the enzyme itself. This goal was accomplished with very limited knowledge of the structure- function relationship of the enzyme and without a high-throughput screening method. Instead, Applicants started this project with a general reaction mechanism for this class of enzymes (FIG. 1) and a back-of-envelop design for monobody action (FIG. IE). The ability to define a desired profile for monobodies in terms of target binding was effective in identifying candidate monobodies using high-throughput techniques readily available for monobody generation and in minimizing the number of monobodies for detailed characterization, an important factor for Applicant's GOS profiling assay that takes a week to complete. Applicants successfully identified a desired specificity enhancer by performing detailed enzyme assays with only 20 monobodies. These monobodies will be powerful tools for the investigation of the substrate recognition mechanism, which will help recapitulate the specificity modifying effect of the monobody with mutations within the enzyme. Although this study is focused on modulating the substrate specificity, the other two classes of monobodies (i.e. inhibitors and inert binders; FIG. IB) will be useful tools for different types of applications. Many enzymes recognize substrates using subsites in a manner conceptually similar to glycosyltransferases. Therefore, this strategy provides a novel and generalizable means of engineering enzymes including those inaccessible by structure-guided design or directed evolution, thereby substantially expanding enzyme-engineering technologies as well as the utility of synthetic binding proteins.
[0197] Described in the foregoing are details of the methods used in this example.
[0198] Protein expression and purification. The commercially available Biolacta® preparation (Amano Enzyme) contains four isozymes, termed BgaD-A (residues 36-1737), BgaD-B (residues 36-1422), BgaD-C (36-1249) and BgaD-D (residues 36-847), and GOSs are produced mostly by three isozymes other than BgaD-A. Applicants used the smallest isozyme, BgaD-D, for all experiments in this study. BgaD-D and its active site mutants (E447Q, E447K and E447R) were prepared as a fusion protein C-terminal to a biotin- acceptor tag (Avi-tag) and His6 tag using pCold II vector (Takara). The proteins were produced as previously described, except that the protein was produced in BL21(DE3) containing the pBirAcm plasmid (Avidity) in the presence of 50 μΜ D-biotin for in vivo biotinylation. Monobodies were prepared as Hisio-tagged proteins using the pHFT2 vector or as His6-tagged and biotinylated proteins using the pUBT vector as previously described
(Koide, A., Gilbreth, R.N., Esaki, K., Tereshko, V. & Koide, S. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104, 6632-6637 (2007)). All proteins were purified using Ni-Sepharose columns (GE Healthcare) and further purified with a Superdex size-exclusion column (Superdex200 for BgaD-D and Superdex75 for monobodies, GE Healthcare). Representative SDS-PAGE of purified samples is shown in Supplementary Figure 7. For enzyme assay experiments, Applicants used BgaD-D without Avi-tag7 and monobodies from which the affinity tag had been removed.
[0199] Phage display and yeast-surface display. The monobody libraries used and general selection methods have been described previously (Koide, A., Wojcik, J., Gilbreth, R.N., Hoey, R.J. & Koide, S. JMolBiol 415, 393-405 (2012) and Wojcik, J. et al. Nat Struct Mol Biol 17, 519-527 (2010)). The buffers used for binding reaction and washing were BSS (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl and 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin) and BSST (BSS and 0.1% Tween 20), respectively, for both phage-display and yeast surface- display selection experiments. In the initial selection campaign, apo BgaD-D was used as a target and the selection was performed in an unbiased manner. The BgaD-D concentrations used for rounds 1, 2 and 3 of phage-display selection were 300 nM, 200 nM and 100 nM, respectively. Monobody-displayed phages were captured onto biotinylated target enzyme immobilized to streptavi din-coated magnetic beads (Z5481/2, Promega) and then eluted in 0.1 M Gly-HCl, pH 2.1. After gene shuffling among phage clones within each enriched population and transfer of the resulting gene pool to a yeast-surface display vector, Applicants performed library sorting using the target enzyme concentration of 100 nM, as described previously.
[0200] In the second selection campaign that intended to identify monobodies that bind to new epitopes including the acive site, library sorting experiments were performed as described above except that 2 μΜ of Mb(BgaD_L02), 40 μΜ of Mb(BgaD_S09) and 3 μΜ of Mb(BgaD SlO) for "non functional" epitopes were added to the biotinylated target enzyme prior to mixing the target and a monobody library.
[0201] In the third campaign that aimed to enrich monobodies that bind to the vicinity of the active site, Applicants performed library sorting in an unbiased manner as described above and then the recovered population was subjected to negative selection using 2 μΜ of Mb(BgaD_L14) as a competitor, in which Applicants collected monobodies that are competed by Mb(BgaD_L14).
[0202] Affinity of monobodies to BgaD-D was initially determined using yeast-surface display, as described previously. Yeast cells displaying a monobody was incubated with varying concentrations of BgaD-D, washed with the buffer and stained with appropriate fluorescently labeled secondary detection reagents, prior to analysis on a flow cytometer (Guava EasyCyte 6/L, Millipore). ΚΌ values were determined from plots of the mean fluorescent intensity against BgaD-D concentration by fitting the 1 : 1 binding model using SigmaPlot software (Systat Software).
[0203] Affinity maturation using error prone mutagenesis. To generate error prone PCR library from the Mb(BgaD_L19) parent sequence, Applicants performed PCR in the presence of 0.3 mM MnCl2, 7 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM each of dATP, dGTP, dCTP and dTTP, and 2.5 units of Taq DNA polymerase, and constructed the library using yeast homologous recombination, as described previously. The resultant yeast-surface display library was subjected to selections using yeast-surface display as described above.
[0204] Affinity measurements using purified proteins. Affinity of purified monobodies were determined using a bead-based assay. Streptavi din-coated Dynabeads M280 (Invitrogen) at 20 μg/mL were incubated with an appropriate concentration of biotinylated monobody (10-30 nM) at 4°C for 30 min with rotation, and then blocked with 10 μΜ D- biotin for 15 min. The monobody-immobilized beads were washed and re-suspended in BSS. 10 μΐ. of the beads solution was then transferred to a well of a 96-well filter plate (MultiScreenHTS HV, 0.45 μιη pore size, Millipore) and drained by vacuum. 20 μΐ. of biotinylated BgaD-D or its active site mutant at various concentrations (0-5,000 nM) in BSS was added to the wells of the filter plate containing the monobody-immobilized beads and the plate was incubated at 25°C with shaking for 20 min. The wells were drained and washed twice with BSST. After draining, 20 μΐ. of 10 μg/mL of DyLight650-conjugated to streptavidin (Thermo) in BSS was added to each of the wells. After incubation at 4°C with shaking for 30 min, the wells were drained and washed twice with BSST. The beads were re- suspended in 180 μΐ. of BSS and the fluorescence emission in the far-red channel was analyzed on Guava EasyCyte 6/L. ΚΌ values were determined from plots of the median fluorescent intensity against BgaD-D concentration by fitting the 1 : 1 binding model using SigmaPlot software (Systat Software). ΚΌ values obtained using purified monobodies generally agreed with those determined using yeast surface display (FIG. 3A and B), consistent with previous observations.
[0205] Competition binding assay. Competition binding assay was performed using the bead-based assay with purified proteins as described above. The monobody-competition binding assay for testing the specificity of monobodies was carried out as described above except that 20 μΐ^ of an appropriate concentration of biotinylated BgaD-D pre-incubated with or without a competitor monobody added at 200 times the ΚΌ value for the monobody -BgaD- D interaction in BSS. The concentration of biotinylated BgaD-D used was 10 nM for Mb(BgaD_L02) and Mb(BgaD SlO), 30 nM for Mb(BgaD_L14) and Mb(BgaD_L23), 40 nM for Mb(BgaD_L19) or 180 nM for Mb(BgaD_S09) to account for different affinity. For the oligosaccharide-competition binding assay, the biotinylated BgaD-D was pre-incubated with or without 20% (w/v) of oligosaccharide (Lactose, DP3, DP4 or DP5) in BSS for 5 min on ice, and then 20 μΐ^ of the mixture was transferred to the wells where monobody binding took place. Experiments were performed in triplicate.
[0206] Hydrolysis activity assay. Hydrolysis activity was assayed using 4 mM onitro- phenyl β-D-glucopyranoside (O PG) as a substrate in the assay buffer (50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl and 0.01% Triton X-100) at 25°C. All reagents were pre-incubated at 25°C for 10 min, and the reaction was initiated by mixing 50 of substrate solution containing 8 mM ONPG and 50 μΐ^ of protein solution containing 62 nM BgaD-D and/or 10 μΜ monobody. After 10 min incubation at 25°C, the reactions were terminated by the addition of 250 μΐ^ of 2% (w/v) Na2C03, and then the absorbance at 405 nm was measured using a SpectraMax 340PC plate reader (Molecular Devices). The absorbance for the assay solution containing the substrate but no proteins was subtracted as the background from the other reaction solutions to determine the catalytic activity.
[0207] Quantification of GOS production. The production of GOSs was measured using 5% (w/v) lactose as a substrate in the assay buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, containing 150 mM NaCl) at 25°C. The reactions were initiated by mixing 125 μΐ^ of substrate solution containing 20% (w/v) lactose and 375 μΐ^ of protein solution containing 0.4 μΜ BgaD-D and/or an appropriate concentration of monobody (133-266 μΜ). Samples were withdrawn periodically and boiled for 10 min to terminate the reaction. The amounts of monosaccharides, disaccharides and GOSs were determined using a CK04S column (Mitsubishi Chemical) on an FIPLC (LC-30AD, Shimadzu) equipped with an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD-LTII, Shimadzu). The assay samples were eluted from the column using H20 at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min at 80°C. For separation and determination of
lactose and other disaccharides (DP2), a Asahipak H2P-40 3E column (Shodex) was used with a gradient of H20 (solvent A) and acetonitrile (solvent B) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min at 30°C. Sugar concentrations were determined from peak areas. Glucose, galactose, lactose and 4'-Galactosyllactose purchased from Wako Chemicals, and tetra- and larger oligosaccharides prepared from a commercially available GOSs (Vivinal® GOS, FrieslandCampina), were used as reference compounds for producing standard curves for these assays.

EXAMPLE 2: Monobody -mediated alteration of lipase substrate specificity
[0209] The inventors have established a new strategy for altering enzyme specificity in which proxy synthetic binding proteins (termed monobodies) modulate the specificity of an otherwise unmodified enzyme. Here, the inventors tested the strategy on Candida rugosa lipase 1 (CRL1). The inventors successfully identified proxy monobodies that restricted the substrate specificity of CRL1 toward short-chain lipids. The successes with CRL1 here and with a β-galactosidase previously suggest broad applicability of the strategy to enzymes with distinct architectures of substrate binding sites.
[0210] Enzymes are important components in a wide range of applications in industries including food, pharmaceutical, dairy and textile, but naturally occurring enzymes often lack properties desired for the applications of interests and are needed to be engineered. However, engineering enzymes with desired catalytic properties remains a challenging task in biotechnology. Advances in techniques of DNA manipulation and molecular biology allow one to create a polypeptide with any amino acid sequence, yet one's current knowledge of enzyme's sequence- structure-function relationships is still at its early stages for de novo design and rational enzyme design, making it still a formidable challenge to design and produce an enzyme with desired functionality. Directed evolution has become a powerful tool for engineering enzymes in the absence of such knowledge and led to many successful examples. However, directed evolution experiments can be easily hampered if an efficient production system in a suitable heterologous host (e.g., Escherichia coli) and a high- throughput enzyme assay are unavailable. Thus, there remain many challenges in enzyme engineering for which conventional approaches are ineffective or impractical.
[0211] Described in Example 1 is a new strategy for altering enzyme specificity with proxy binding proteins directed to the precise potion within the enzyme substrate-binding site. Using the example of a β-galactosidase, BgaD-D, from Bacillus circulans and monobodies, synthetic binding proteins based on the 10th human fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, the inventors successfully altered the enzyme's substrate specificity for its trans-galactosylation reaction and selectively enhanced the production of short oligosaccharide. The strategy was designed based on a general mechanism of substrate recognition by β-galactosidases in which discrete sub-sites recognize different sugar moieties within a substrate. By generating a monobody that binds an appropriate sub-site and thereby blocking the binding of substrates that requires the blocked sub-site, the inventors can restrict the range of substrates that an
enzyme acts on. Because this strategy does not modify the target enzyme itself, it can be applied to an enzyme system that does not require either heterologous expression systems or detailed knowledge of structure information of the enzyme. Furthermore, monobodies with desired target-binding profiles can be readily identified through a high-throughput protein design platform, eliminating the need for a high-throughput enzyme assay. Therefore, this strategy should be an attractive alternative to conventional methods for engineering substrate specificity, particularly for restricting substrates to the smaller shorter species among natural substrates of an enzyme.
[0212] In this example, the inventors tested the strategy on restricting the substrate specificity of a lipase, lipase 1 from Candida rugosa (CRL1), an enzyme distinctly different from β-galactosidase used in Example 1. The crystal structures of CRL1 as well as other iso- forms have been determined. Lipases (triacylglycerol lipase EC 3.1.1.3) catalyze both hydrolysis and synthesis of triacylglycerides and several other esters. They have broad specificity in terms of substrate size (short to long fatty acids) and in terms of substrate shape and chemistry (saturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids). Their broad specificity is useful in certain applications such as food processing, pharmaceutical synthesis, oil refining, flavor development, or oil wastewater treatment, but it is not necessarily desirable for manufacturing of a defined product. For example, in ripening and enhancing cheese flavor, lipases ideally should hydrolyze only short chain fatty acids to produce cheese flavor. In reality, however, lipases also hydrolyze long-chain fatty acids that contribute to an undesired soapy flavor. Therefore, tailoring the substrate specificity of lipases toward a specific fatty- acid chain length is often desired.
[0213] Although lipases catalyze hydrolysis and synthesis reactions toward their substrates similar to the β-galactosidase, BgaD-D, used in Example 1, these two types of enzymes differ substantially in terms of the architecture of substrate binding site. The substrate-binding site of BgaD-D consists of shallow, surface-exposed pockets readily accessible by proxy monobodies, whereas that of CRL1 is a deeply buried tunnel whose inner surface is unlikely to be directly accessibly by monobodies. Furthermore, the level of discrimination needed for CRL1 (one or two hydrocarbon units) is much finer than that for BgaD-D (a sugar unit), and the lipase substrate-binding site does not have discrete sub-sites for discriminating hydrocarbon chains of different lengths. Taken together, although chain length specificity of CRL1 and its homologs has been altered by structure-guided mutations of residues lining the substrate-binding tunnel, it is unclear whether a proxy monobody can achieve a similar effect.
Thus, the inventors considered alteration of CRLl substrate specificity an interesting and informative challenge for their enzyme engineering strategy.
[0214] The inventors generated a series of monobodies directed to CRLl by performing combinatorial library selection using phage- and yeast-display technologies by following previously established procedures. In most lipases, a mobile segment named lid covers the active site and keeps the enzymes in the closed and inactive form. In the presence of a hydrophobic solute such as a detergent, the lid opens, making the lipase active site accessible to the substrate and thus the lipase is active. To generate monobodies to the catalytically active state of CRLl, the inventors included Triton X-100 to all buffers used during monobody generation. The inventors reasoned that this way the inventors would enrich monobodies that bound in or near the substrate-binding site.
[0215] The initial unbiased selection yielded a total of 11 unique monobodies. Based on phylogenetic analysis of these monobodies, the inventors produced 4 clones as purified proteins, Mb(CRL_S01), Mb(CRL_S02), Mb(CRL_S04) and Mb(CRL_S05) (FIG. 8 A), representing each "family" of these monobodies. Despite the sequence diversity in these monobodies, all of them bound to an overlapping surface ("epitope") of CRLl, as determined in competitive binding experiments using purified monobody samples (data not shown). For brevity, hereafter in the text abbreviated names for monobodies is used where "CRL " is omitted. None of them from the initial pool of monobodies showed significant effects on CRLl catalytic activity (data for only Mb(S05) is shown in FIG. 8C), suggesting that they are inert binders binding to a location distant from the active site.
[0216] To obtain monobodies that bind to the close vicinity of the active site, the inventors performed the second selection campaign in which the inventors used one of the inert binders, Mb(S05), to mask the dominant, non-functional epitope. This selection yielded 11 different monobodies, and of them the inventors identified three different types of monobodies with similar ΚΌ values of approximately 50 nM (FIG. 8 A). Mb(S16) potently inhibited CRLl activity toward all chain lengths tested of synthetic /?-nitrophenyl ( NP)-esters with a single aliphatic chain. The inventors used these pNP esters as proxy substrates for characterizing the chain-length specificity at the scissile fatty acid binding site (FIG. 8C). This result suggests that Mb(S16) may bind to a region critical for catalysis such as the active site. Mb(L18) showed a desired profile as a specificity modifier in which the monobody significantly reduced the activity of CRLl toward the chain lengths longer than C8 but showed little effect on the activity toward C4 and C8 (FIG. 8C). The binding of Mb(L18) was competed by
Mb(S16), suggesting that Mb(L18) may bind to a position close vicinity to the active site (FIG. 8B). Mb(S19) did not show any significant effect on CRLl catalytic activity and the binding was not competed with either Mb(S16) or Mb(L18) (FIG. 8B and 8C). Further selection campaign to obtain monobodies that are competed by Mb(L18) but have different profiles produced two additional inhibitory monobodies, Mb(L23) and Mb(L24) with a single amino acid difference (FIG. 8A-C).
[0217] The sequence of the CRL monobodies is provided in the table below:
[0218] Next, the inventors characterized these monobodies to determine whether they alter the chain length specificity of CRLl on triacylglycerides. The effects of monobodies are shown in plots of the amount of each fatty acid produced versus reaction time (FIG. 9A) and in comparisons of the Kcat values (sec"1) for each length of triacylglyceride substrate (FIG. 9B). Mb(L18), the specificity modifier as tested with the pNP substrate, showed little effect on the activity toward C4 and C6 but potently inhibited the activity toward C8, CIO and C12 as these activities were reduced by 11-, 102- and 4.5-fold relative to CRLl alone, respectively (FIG. 9B). Mb(S16) and Mb(L24) both inhibited the activity of CRLl toward all chain lengths tested (FIG. 9). Of them, Mb(L24) showed more potent inhibition, probably because the monobody had higher affinity to CRLl (FIG. 8B) and consequently the binding with CRLl was more complete than Mb(S16) at the same monobody and enzyme concentrations. The inert monobody, Mb(S05), showed no effects, as expected (FIG. 9). Thus, their profiles observed for triacylglycerides were generally similar to those observed for pNP- esters, with a few exceptions. Mb(L18) did not inhibit the CRLl activity on the C8 pNP ester (FIG. 8C) but it was a potent inhibitor of the activity on the C8 triacylglyceride (FIG. 9). Similarly, despite the inert profile of Mb(S19) against ^NP-esters (FIG. 8C), this monobody significantly reduced CRLl activity on triacylglycerides with chain lengths longer than C6 (FIG. 9). These results indicate that effects of monobodies on CRLl activity on /?NP-esters and on triacylglycerides can be different, and these differences are likely due to the different numbers of aliphatic chains in these substrates and how they are recognized by CRLl, as discussed below.
[0219] The available crystal structures of CRLl in complex with a substrate analogue (FIG. 10) give a hint of the action mechanisms of two modifiers, Mb(L18) and Mb(S19). The crystal structures reveal three hydrophobic sites that accommodate the sn-l, sn-2, and sn-3 fatty acids of triacylglyceride. The scissile fatty acid (sn-l or sn-3) binding site has a deep tunnel-like architecture and the other fatty acid binding sites are hydrophobic patches exposed to the solvent (FIG. 10). /?NP-ester substrates must bind to the tunnel -like binding site to be cleaved, and therefore these substrates do not report changes in the non-scissile site. According to the results that Mb(L18) altered chain length specificity of CRLl toward pNP- esters and was competed by the inhibitor, Mb(L18) may bind to a position close vicinity to the active site and affect binding of scissile fatty acid to the tunnel-like binding site. It has been reported for CRLl and other iso-forms that mutations of residues not only inside the tunnel but also at the entrance of the tunnel alter the chain length specificity. Because
monobodies are not small enough to directly access a space inside the tunnel without grossly disrupting the tunnel, Mb(L18) may bind to a certain position around the entrance of the tunnel and interfere with entering of longer chain substrates into the tunnel. However, binding to other regions indirectly affecting the size or shape of the tunnel cannot be excluded. Mb(S19) was not competed by Mb(S16) and was inert against ^ P-esters, but it altered the chain length specificity of CRL1 toward triacylglycerides. These results suggest that Mb(S19) may not affect binding of scissile fatty acid but rather affect binding of another position of fatty acid in triacylglyceride to the binding site. Binding sites of non-scissile fatty acids are relatively large and exposed to the solvent, and each binding site is cleanly separated from scissile fatty acid binding site (FIG. 10). Thus, precisely pointing and blocking of a certain position within the non-scissile fatty acid binding site(s) by monobodies without interfering binding of scissile fatty acid may be possible. Altering chain length specificity against triacylglycerides with retaining specificity for ?NP-esters by mutations at the non-scissile fatty acid binding sites have been reported for other iso-forms. [0220] In this Example, experimental evidence that the substrate specificity of CRL1 can be altered by monobodies is provided. Despite the difficulty of directly binding to the scissile substrate binding site of CRL1 and the relatively large size of the monobody with respect to the small differences among the lipase substrates, the inventors successfully identified a modifier that altered the substrate specificity by screening only a total of 24 monobodies. Tunnel-like substrate binding site is now recognized as a ubiquitous architecture and spans across all six major classes of enzymes. Therefore, it is anticipated that this strategy would be useful for engineering catalytic properties of a wide range of enzymes.
[0221] The following materials and methods were used in this example and are applicable to the methods described herein. [0222] Preparation of biotinylated CRL1: Purified CRL1 was obtained from c- LEcta (Germany). The protein was biotinylated using the EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC- Biotinylation Kit (ThermoScientific). Briefly, CRL1 was dissolved in and further dialyzed against PBS (50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl), and incubated with a 5-fold molar excess of HS-LC-biotin at 4°C for 16 hrs. Non-reacted biotin was removed using a desalting column, and the resultant protein sample was purified with a Superdex size-exclusion column (Superdex200, GE Healthcare). Biotin incorporation into CPvLl was estimated to be about 2 per CRL1 molecule by a colorimetric HABA dye assay.
[0223] Expression and purification of monobodies: Monobodies were prepared as His10- tagged proteins using the pHFT2 vector as previously described. All proteins were purified using Ni-Sepharose columns (GE Healthcare) and further purified with a Superdex size- exclusion column (Superdex75, GE Healthcare). For enzyme assay experiments, we used monobodies from which the affinity tag had been removed by TEV protease cleavage.
[0224] Phage display and yeast-surface display: The monobody libraries used and general selection methods have been described previously. The buffer used for binding reaction and washing was BSST (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl, 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin and 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100) for both phage-display and yeast surface-display experiments. In the initial selection campaign, the selection was performed in an unbiased manner. The biotinylated target enzyme concentration used for rounds 1, 2 and 3 of phage-display selection was 100 nM. Monobody-displayed phages were captured onto biotinylated target enzyme immobilized to streptavi din-coated magnetic beads (Z5481/2, Promega) and then eluted in 0.1 M Gly-HCl, pH 2.1. [0225] After gene shuffling among phage clones within each enriched population and transfer of the resulting gene pool to a yeast-surface display vector, we performed library sorting using the target enzyme concentrations of 100 nM and 20 nM for the first and second round sorting, respectively, as described previously. The amino acid sequences of the identified monobodies were deduced by DNA sequencing of the yeast display vectors. Phylogenetic tree analysis was performed using the program Phylogeny (EMBL-EBI).
[0226] In the second selection campaign, library sorting experiments were performed as described above except that 2 μΜ of Mb(S05) was added to the biotinylated target enzyme prior to mixing the target and a monobody library. We alternated library sorting with the enzyme-monobody complex and sorting with the enzyme only to ensure that selected monobodies bound to the enzyme, not to the competitor monobodies. In the third campaign, we performed library sorting in an unbiased manner as described above and then the recovered population was subjected to negative selection using 4 μΜ of Mb(L18) as a competitor.
[0227] Affinity of monobodies to CRL1 was determined using yeast-surface display, as described previously. Yeast cells displaying a monobody were incubated with varying concentrations of CRL1, washed with the buffer and stained with appropriate fluorescently labeled secondary detection reagents, prior to analysis on a flow cytometer (Guava EasyCyte
6/L, Millipore). ΚΌ values were determined from plots of the mean fluorescent intensity against CRL1 concentration by fitting the 1 : 1 binding model using SigmaPlot software (Systat Software).
[0228] Competition binding assay: Competition binding assay was performed using yeast-surface display as described above. The monobody-competition binding assay for testing the specificity of monobodies was carried out as described above except that 20 μΐ. of an appropriate concentration of biotinylated CRL1 pre-incubated with or without a competitor monobody added at 100-200 times the ΚΌ value for the monobody-CRLl interaction in BSST. The concentration of biotinylated CRL1 used was 10 nM for Mb(S01), Mb(S02), Mb(S03) and Mb(S05), 20 nM for Mb(L23) and Mb(L24), or 100 nM for Mb(S16), Mb(L18) and Mb(S19) to account for different affinity.
[0229] Hydrolysis activity assay with />NP-esters: Fatty chain length profiles were determined using 1 mM /?-nitrophenyl ( P)-esters of acetate (C2), butyrate (C4), caprylate (C8), caprate (CIO), laurate (C12) and myristate (C14) (all from Sigma-Aldrich) as substrates in the assay buffer (50 mM HEPES-NaOH, pH 6.8, containing 0.5 % Triton X-100) at 25°C. All reagents were pre-incubated at 25°C for 10 min, and the reaction was initiated by mixing 225 μΐ^ of substrate solution containing 1.12 mM pNP ester and 25 μΐ^ of protein solution containing 100 nM CRL1 and/or 10 μΜ monobody. Enzyme activity was determined from the initial hydrolysis rate of ^ P-esters using a SpectraMax 340PC plate reader (Molecular Devices) following the absorbance at 405 nm. The absorbance for the assay solution containing the substrate but no proteins was subtracted as the background from the other reaction solutions to determine the catalytic activity.
[0230] Hydrolysis activity assay with triacylglycerides: Hydrolysis activity against triacylglyceries was measured using tributyrin (C4; Sigma-Aldrich), tricaproin (C6; Tokyo Kasei), tricaprylin (C8; Wako Pure Chemicals), tricaprin (CIO; Tokyo Kasei) and trilaurin (C12; Tokyo Kasei) as substrates. The substrate solution consisted of 0.5% (w/v) polyvinyl alcohol and 80 mM of tributyrin or 40 mM of one of the other triacylglycerides, and was emulsified by ultrasonication. Immediately after emulsification, 0.3 mL of the emulsified substrate solution was mixed with 0.6 mL of a buffer solution (0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0) and the resultant solution was incubated at 25°C for 10 min. The assay was initiated by mixing the substrate solution (0.9 mL) and 0.3 mL of protein solution containing 0.7 μΜ CRL1 and/or 200 μΜ monobody, and incubated at 25°C with constant shaking.
Samples were withdrawn periodically and 150 μΙ_, of the samples were mixed with 50 μΙ_, of 0.5 M HCL and 25 mM nonanoic acid (C9 used as an internal standard; Wako Pure Chemicals) to terminate the reaction. After fatty acid extraction with addition of 0.8 mL chloroform, 5 μΙ_, of the samples were run on a gas chromatography system (model 7890 A, Agilent Technologies) equipped with a capillary column (CP-FFAP CB; 25 m x 0.15 mm x 0.25 μπι, Agilent Technologies). Helium was used as carrier gas; the split ratio was 50: 1 and the split flow was 50 mL/min. The column temperature was kept at 100 °C for 1 min and raised to 240 °C at 10°C/min, then maintained for 17 min. The temperatures of the injector and detector were set at 250°C and 280°C, respectively. Concentrations of fatty acids produced were calculated by peak areas calibrated with the peak area of an internal standard (nonanic acid). Butyric acid (C4) from Wako Pure Chemicals, caproic acid (C6), caprylic acid (C8), capric acid (CIO), lauric acid (C12) from Tokyo Kasei were used as reference compounds for producing standard curves for these assays. A blank experiment without enzyme was used to determine autohydrolysis of substrates. [0231] The foregoing description is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and process as described above. Accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to falling within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims that follow. The words "comprise," "comprising," "include," "including," and "includes" when used in this specification and in the following claims are intended to specify the presence of stated features, integers, components, or steps, but they do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, components, steps, or groups thereof.
