- Engineered TCRs and CARs are modular in nature, with an extracellular domain encoded at the N-terminus of the protein, followed by a transmembrane domain, and then followed C-terminally by signaling domains in the cytoplasm of the cell. See for example Figure 1 of (Lee, 2019).
- Modified receptors comprised of an additional domain encoded in either the N- terminal region (extracellular), as part of the transmembrane domain, or in the C-terminal region (intracellular) enable small-molecule mediated control of receptor expression. The modifications are further described herein, with mechanisms of action described in the cited references.
- this invention conceptually unites these small molecules with engineered immune cell receptors, incorporating polypeptide sequences, such as described in the above references, into the receptor, including the N-terminal, transmembrane, or C-terminal region of the receptor. Locations for inserting these sequences are informed by the length and composition of different polypeptide hinge and spacer regions described in, for example (Imai, 2005;
- Additional sequences can be incorporated into the engineered immune cell surface receptor to inhibit its protein synthesis by the action of one of the small molecules referenced above (Lintner, 2017; Londregan, 2018a; Londregan, 2018b; Liaud, 2019; Li, 2018) acting on the human ribosome.
- other sequences can be incorporated into the engineered immune cell surface receptor to increase its protein synthesis by the action of one of the small molecules referenced above acting on the human ribosome.
- ribosome display of an mRNA library to identify protein sequences that either inhibit or increase translation of the polypeptide in the presence of one of these compounds; suitable methods are described, inter alia, in PCT/US 18/55262 and Li 2018 and Li 2019. The efficacy of these sequences can be verified using luciferase reporters as described in (Lintner, 2017; Li, 2018; Liaud, 2019).
- engineered TCRs or CARs comprised of sequences sensitive to the small molecules referenced above, and with representative SMILES forms given below, involves genetically modifying T cells or NK cells with a DNA sequence encoding the engineered TCR or CAR.
- Many such methods have been described in the literature involving, for example, retroviral vectors (Imai, 2005; Liu, 2018), transposons (Kabriaei, 2016), and more recently the use of CRISPR-Cas9 (Roth, 2018).
- NK cells NK cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that are subsequently differentiated into T cells (Nishimura, 2019) or NK cells (Bemareggi, 2019).
- iPSCs induced pluripotent stem cells
- T cells Neokimura, 2019
- NK cells Bemareggi, 2019
- These modified cells can then be expanded and used for ACT.
- Patients who receive these modified cells can then be treated with different doses of the compounds referenced above, and with representative SMILES forms given below, in order to decrease or increase the expression of the engineered immune cell surface receptors as needed for optimal therapeutic outcomes.
- Protein sequences sensitive to the compounds referenced above that can be inserted into engineered immune cell surface receptors include, but are not limited to, the following examples. These sequences require relevant cell surface receptor polypeptide sequences as referenced above located N-terminal and/or C-terminal to those shown. Additionally, one can add polypeptide linkers of various lengths between the compound-sensitive sequences and the N-terminal or C-terminal flanking sequences. These include, for example poly-(GS) sequences.
- Example 1 Sequences that can be used to inhibit engineered immune cell receptor translation.
- Fig. la is a schematic representation of the engineered immune cell surface receptor comprised of a PF-06446846 sensitive sequence.
- CDH1 sequence comprised of the CDH1-V domain followed by the small-molecule sensitive sequence. See Uniprot ID: P12830 and PCT/US 18/55262.
- Fig 1 b shows protein sequences from CDH1, PCSK9, and USOl useful for stalling (sequences in NC box). The arrow indicates the PF-06446846-dependent stalling site predicted from ribosome profiling data in (Lintner, 2017).
- On can add flexible polypeptide linkers of suitable length N-terminal and C-terminal to sequences defined by the NC box, and the CDH1-V box.
- Example 2 Additional chimeric polypeptides stalled by PF-06446846. Based on results in (Lintner, 2017), PF-06446846 is highly selective and stalls translation of just 18 polypeptides, of those that could be assayed using ribosome profiling ( Figure 6 of Lintner,
- CDH1 which in its cellular context stalls at amino acid 729, can be dissected to isolate a single domain that enables robust stalling of RNCs, with engineered N- terminal extensions and alternate stall sequences appended C-terminal to the Cadherin-5 (CDH1-V) domain.
- CDH1-V Cadherin-5
- the N-terminal sequence of USOl up to amino acid 298 can be used to stall RNCs, with additional sequences appended N-terminal and C-terminal to this segment of USOl.
- the N-terminal 92 amino acids of IFI30 can be used to form stalled RNCs, with additional sequences appended N-terminal and C-terminal to this segment of IFI30.
- Ribosome profiling with these alternative compounds can be used to identify additional proteins that extend beyond the ribosome exit tunnel, i.e. whose stall site resides ⁇ 40 or more amino acids from the N-terminus, and these can then be used to make engineered immune cell surface receptors whose translation is sensitive to the presence of the new compound.
- Example 3 Sequences selected from mRNA libraries that can be used to inhibit engineered immune cell receptor translation.
- mRNA libraries encoding randomized codons can be used to select for protein sequences that can be inhibited by compounds like PF- 06446846; see, PCT/US 18/55262 and Li, 2018.
- Fig. 2a shows the sequence context, and examples selected in the context of the CDH1 stalling peptide are shown in Fig. 2b - sequences in location of the NC box.
- Flexible polypeptide linkers of suitable length N-terminal and C- terminal can be added to sequences defined by the NC box and the CDH1-V domain.
- Fig. 2c is a sequence motif indicating the range of sequences that can be placed in the last 4 amino acids of the CDH1 sequence defined by the NC box.
- Example 4 Sequences selected from mRNA libraries that can be used to increase engineered immune cell receptor translation.
- mRNA libraries encoding randomized codons can be used to select for protein sequences that can increase translation in the presence of compounds like PF-06446846; see, PCT/US 18/55262 and Li, 2018..
- Fig. 3a shows the sequence context of PF-06446846 sensitive sequences.
- Fig. 3b shows example sequences that can be used to increase translation due to the action of PF-06446846, when located in the position of the NC sequence in Fig. 3a.
- Flexible polypeptide linkers of suitable length N-terminal and C-terminal can be added to sequences defined by the NC box and the CDH1-V domain.
- Example 5 Sequences sensitive to PF -06446846 and/or compound 71 in rat intestinal cells (Londregan et aL, 2018a).
- Compound 71 is a next- generation selective translation inhibitor related to PF-06446846 and is described in (Londregan, 2018a). These sequences are readily screened with differing polypeptide start and end points for sensitivity to the compounds with SMILES codes provided below, using luciferase reporters as described in (Lintner, 2017; Li, 2018; Liaud, 2019). Suitable sequences with the main stall position induced by compounds 7f (PF-06446846) and/or 71 located within 40 amino acids (i.e.
- codons in the table) from the N-terminus can include amino acids 1 to the Dmax position (i.e. amino acids 1- 41 of Car9, amino acids 1-28 of Rpl27, or amino acids 1-40 of Cyp2sl, etc.).
- sequences whose main stall position occurs in a more C-terminal position, i.e. after the first 40 amino acids, can also be used.
- the N-terminal boundary of the sensitive sequence may be determined using structure prediction algorithms such as Phyre2 (Kelley, 2015).
- the Dmax position is a suitable location for the C-terminus of the compound- sensitive sequence. Sequences in this category may be comprised of polypeptides derived from amino acids 1-361 of Pigw, amino acids 1-119 of Pqlc3, etc.
- SMILES codes for compounds useful for selective stalling or enhancement of translation. Codes taken from (Londregan et al , 2018).
- Example 6 Amino acid changes in stalled sequences can actually enhance rather that repress translation in a PF846-dependent manner.
- sequences SFRD and ATHF increase overall translation in a PF846-dependent manner (Fig. 4), with ATHF increasing translation ⁇ 4-fold.
