This disclosure relates to fusion proteins comprising an effector domain comprising a catalytic domain of a deubiquitinase, or a functional fragment or functional variant thereof; and a targeting domain comprising a moiety that specifically binds a target cytosolic protein. The disclosure further relates to therapeutic methods of using the same.
A subset of genetic diseases are associated with a decrease in the level of expression of a functional cytosolic protein or a decrease in the stability of a cytosolic protein. For example, haploinsufficiency genetic diseases are caused by the presence a single copy of a wild-type allele in heterozygous combination with a loss of function variant allele, wherein the level of functional protein expressed is insufficient to produce the standard phenotype. Haploinsufficiency can arise from a de novo or inherited loss-of-function mutation in the variant allele, such that it produces little or no functional protein. Despite recent developments in gene therapy, there are still no curative treatments for these diseases, and treatment typically centers on the management of symptoms. Therefore, new treatments are needed for diseases, e.g., genetic diseases, that are associated with decreased functional cytosolic protein expression or stability.
Provided herein are, inter alia, engineered deubiquitinases (enDubs) that comprise a targeting moiety that specifically binds a cytosolic target protein and a catalytic domain of a deubiquitinase. The targeting moiety directs that deubiquitinase catalytic domain to the specific target cytosolic protein for deubiquitination. The fusion proteins described herein are particularly useful in methods of treating genetic diseases, particularly those associated with or caused by decreased expression or stability of a specific cytosolic protein.
In one aspect, provided herein are fusion proteins comprising: an effector domain comprising a catalytic domain of a deubiquitinase, or a functional fragment or functional variant thereof; and a targeting domain comprising a targeting moiety that specifically binds a cytosolic protein.

Ubiquitination is the process by which ubiquitin ligases mediate the addition of ubiquitin, a 76 amino acid regulatory protein, to a substrate protein. Ubiquitination generally starts by the attachment of a single ubiquitin molecule to a lysine amino acid residue of the substrate protein. Mevissen T. et al. Mechanisms of Deubiquitinase Specificity and Regulation Annual Review of Biochemistry 86:1, 159-192 (2017), the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference herein. These monoubiquitination events are abundant and serve various functions. Ubiquitin itself contains seven lysine residues, all of which can be ubiquitinated resulting in polyubiquitinated proteins. Komander, D. et al. Breaking the chains: structure and function of the deubiquitinases. Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 10, 550-563 (2009), the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference herein. Mono and polyubiquitination can have multiple effects on the substrate protein, including marking the substrate protein for degradation via the proteasome, altering the protein's cellular location, altering the protein's activity, and/or promoting or preventing normal protein interactions. See e.g., Hershko A. et al. The ubiquitin system. Annu Rev Biochem. 67:425-79 (1998); Nandi D, et al. The ubiquitin-proteasome system. J Biosci. March; 31(1):137-55 (2006), the entire contents of each of which is incorporated by reference herein. The effects of ubiquitination can be reversed or prevented by removing the ubiquitin protein(s) from the substrate protein. The removal of ubiquitin from a substrate protein is mediated by deubiquitinase (DUB) proteins. Id.
Numerous genetic diseases are associated with or caused by a decrease in the level of expression of a functional cytosolic protein or the stability of the cytosolic protein. For example, haploinsufficiency genetic diseases are caused by the presence a single copy of a wild-type allele in heterozygous combination with a loss of function variant allele, wherein the level of functional protein expressed is insufficient to produce the standard phenotype. See e.g., Johnson, A. et al, Causes and effects of haploinsufficiency. Biol Rev, 94: 1774-1785 (2019), the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference herein. Haploinsufficiency can arise from a de novo or inherited loss-of-function mutation in the variant allele, such that it produces little or no functional protein. Other genetic disorders result from the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of variant but functional proteins, resulting in a decrease in expression of the functional protein.
The present disclosure provides, inter alia, novel fusion proteins that comprise the catalytic domain (or functional fragment thereof) of a deubiquitinase and a targeting moiety, such as a VHH, that specifically binds to a target cytosolic protein. In some embodiments, decreased expression of a functional version of the target cytosolic protein or decreased stability of a functional version of the target cytosolic protein is associated with a disease phenotype. As such, the fusion proteins described herein are particularly useful in the treatment of genetic diseases characterized by a decrease in the level of expression of a functional target cytosolic protein or the stability of the target cytosolic protein. Upon expression of the fusion protein by host cells, the catalytic domain of the deubiquitinase will be specifically targeted to the target cytosolic protein and deubiquitinated, resulting in increased expression of the target cytosolic protein, e.g., to a level sufficient to alleviate the disease phenotype.
The section headings used herein are for organizational purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the subject matter described.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure is related. For example, the Concise Dictionary of Biomedicine and Molecular Biology, Juo, Pei-Show, 2nd ed., 2002, CRC Press; The Dictionary of Cell and Molecular Biology, 3rd ed., 1999, Academic Press; and the Oxford Dictionary Of Biochemistry And Molecular Biology, Revised, 2000, Oxford University Press, provide one of skill with a general dictionary of many of the terms used in this disclosure.
It is to be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of any subject matter claimed. In this application, the use of the singular includes the plural unless specifically stated otherwise.
It must be noted that, as used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Furthermore, use of the term “including” as well as other forms, such as “include,” “includes,” and “included,” is not limiting.
It is understood that wherever aspects are described herein with the language “comprising,” otherwise analogous aspects described in terms of “consisting of” and/or “consisting essentially of” are also provided.
The term “and/or” where used herein is to be taken as specific disclosure of each of the two specified features or components with or without the other. Thus, the term “and/or” as used in a phrase such as “A and/or B” herein is intended to include “A and B,” “A or B,” “A” (alone), and “B” (alone). Likewise, the term “and/or” as used in a phrase such as “A, B, and/or C” is intended to encompass each of the following aspects: A, B, and C; A, B, or C; A or C; A or B; B or C; A and C; A and B; B and C; A (alone); B (alone); and C (alone).
Units, prefixes, and symbols are denoted in their Système International de Unites (SI) accepted form. Numeric ranges are inclusive of the numbers defining the range. The headings provided herein are not limitations of the various aspects of the disclosure, which can be had by reference to the specification as a whole. Accordingly, the terms defined immediately below are more fully defined by reference to the specification in its entirety.
As described herein, any concentration range, percentage range, ratio range or integer range is to be understood to include the value of any integer within the recited range and, when appropriate, fractions thereof (such as one tenth and one hundredth of an integer), unless otherwise indicated.
The terms “about” or “comprising essentially of” refer to a value or composition that is within an acceptable error range for the particular value or composition as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the value or composition is measured or determined, i.e., the limitations of the measurement system. For example, “about” or “comprising essentially of” can mean within 1 or more than 1 standard deviation per the practice in the art. Alternatively, “about” or “comprising essentially of” can mean a range of up to 20%. Furthermore, particularly with respect to biological systems or processes, the terms can mean up to an order of magnitude or up to 5-fold of a value. When particular values or compositions are provided in the application and claims, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of “about” or “comprising essentially of” should be assumed to be within an acceptable error range for that particular value or composition.
As used herein, the term “catalytic domain” in reference to a deubiquitinase refers to an amino acid sequence, or a variant thereof, of a deubiquitinase that is capable of mediating deubiquitination of a target protein. The catalytic domain may comprise a naturally occurring amino acid sequence of a deubiquitinase or it may comprise a variant amino acid sequence of a naturally occurring deubiquitinase. The catalytic domain may comprise the minimum amino acid sequence of a deubiquitinase to mediate deubiquitination of a target protein. The catalytic domain may comprise more than the minimum amino acid sequence of a deubiquitinase to mediate deubiquitination of a target protein.
The terms “polynucleotide” and “nucleic acid sequence” are used interchangeably herein and refer to a polymer of DNA or RNA. The polynucleotide sequence can be single-stranded or double-stranded; contain natural, non-natural, or altered nucleotides; and contain a natural, non-natural, or altered internucleotide linkage, such as a phosphoroamidate linkage or a phosphorothioate linkage, instead of the phosphodiester found between the nucleotides of an unmodified polynucleotide sequence. Polynucleotide sequences include, but are not limited to, all polynucleotide sequences which are obtained by any means available in the art, including, without limitation, recombinant means, e.g., the cloning of polynucleotide sequences from a recombinant library or a cell genome, using ordinary cloning technology and polymerase chain reaction, and the like, and by synthetic means.
The terms “amino acid sequence” and “polypeptide” are used interchangeably herein and refer to a polymer of amino acids connected by one or more peptide bonds.
The term “functional variant” as used herein in reference to a protein or polypeptide refers to a protein that comprises at least one amino acid modification (e.g., a substitution, deletion, addition) compared to the amino acid sequence of a reference protein, that retains at least one particular function. In some embodiments, the reference protein is a wild type protein. For example, a functional variant of an IL-2 protein can refer to an IL-2 protein comprising an amino acid substitution as compared to a wild type IL-2 protein that retains the ability to bind the intermediate affinity IL-2 receptor but abrogates the ability of the protein to bind the high affinity IL-2 receptor. Not all functions of the reference wild type protein need be retained by the functional variant of the protein. In some instances, one or more functions are selectively reduced or eliminated.
The term “functional fragment” as used herein in reference to a protein or polypeptide refers to a fragment of a reference protein that retains at least one particular function. For example, a functional fragment of an anti-HER2 antibody can refer to a fragment of the anti-HER2 antibody that retains the ability to specifically bind the HER2 antigen. Not all functions of the reference protein need be retained by a functional fragment of the protein. In some instances, one or more functions are selectively reduced or eliminated.
As used herein, the term “modification,” with reference to a polynucleotide sequence, refers to a polynucleotide sequence that comprises at least one substitution, alteration, inversion, addition, or deletion of nucleotide compared to a reference polynucleotide sequence. Modifications can include non-naturally nucleotides. As used herein, the term “modification,” with reference to an amino acid sequence refers to an amino acid sequence that comprises at least one substitution, alteration, inversion, addition, or deletion of an amino acid residue compared to a reference amino acid sequence. Modifications can include the inclusion of non-naturally occurring amino acid residues.
As used herein, the term “derived from” with reference to an amino acid sequence refers to an amino acid sequence that has at least 80% sequence identity to a reference naturally occurring amino acid sequence. For example, a catalytic domain derived from a naturally occurring deubiquitinase means that the catalytic domain has an amino acid sequence with at least 80% sequence identity to the sequence of the deubiquitinase catalytic domain from which it is derived. The term “derived from” as used herein does not denote any specific process or method for obtaining the amino acid sequence. For example, the amino acid sequence can be chemically or recombinantly synthesized.
The term “fusion protein” and grammatical equivalents as used herein refers to a protein that comprises an amino acid sequence derived from at least two separate proteins. The amino acid sequence of the at least two separate proteins can be directly connected through a peptide bond; or can be operably connected through an amino acid linker. Therefore, the term fusion protein encompasses embodiments, wherein the amino acid sequence of e.g., Protein A is directly connected to the amino acid sequence of Protein B through a peptide bond (Protein A—Protein B), and embodiments, wherein the amino acid sequence of e.g., Protein A is operably connected to the amino acid sequence of Protein B through an amino acid linker (Protein A—linker—Protein B).
The term “fuse” and grammatical equivalents thereof as used herein refers to the operable connection of an amino acid sequence derived from one protein to the amino acid sequence derived from different protein. The term fuse encompasses both a direct connection of the two amino acid sequences through a peptide bond, and the indirect connection through an amino acid linker.
An “isolated antibody” refers to an antibody that is substantially free of other antibodies having different antigenic specificities (e.g., an isolated antibody that binds specifically to HER2 is substantially free of antibodies that bind specifically to antigens other than HER2). An isolated antibody that binds specifically to HER2 may, however, cross-react with other antigens, such as HER2 molecules from different species. Moreover, an isolated antibody may be substantially free of other cellular material and/or chemicals. By comparison, an “isolated” nucleic acid refers to a nucleic acid composition of matter that is markedly different, i.e., has a distinctive chemical identity, nature and utility, from nucleic acids as they exist in nature. For example, an isolated DNA, unlike native DNA, is a freestanding portion of a native DNA and not an integral part of a larger structural complex, the chromosome, found in nature. Further, an isolated DNA, unlike native DNA, can be used as a PCR primer or a hybridization probe for, among other things, measuring gene expression and detecting biomarker genes or mutations for diagnosing disease or predicting the efficacy of a therapeutic. An isolated nucleic acid may also be purified so as to be substantially free of other cellular components or other contaminants, e.g., other cellular nucleic acids or proteins, using standard techniques well known in the art.
As used herein, the term “antibody” or “antibodies” are used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity (i.e. antigen binding fragments as defined herein). The term antibody thus includes, for example, include full-length antibodies, antigen-binding fragments of full-length antibodies, molecules comprising antibody CDRs, VH regions, and/or VL regions; and antibody-like scaffolds (e.g., fibronectins). Examples of antibodies include, without limitation, monoclonal antibodies, recombinantly produced antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (including bispecific antibodies), human antibodies, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, immunoglobulins, synthetic antibodies, tetrameric antibodies comprising two heavy chain and two light chain molecules, an antibody light chain monomer, an antibody heavy chain monomer, an antibody light chain dimer, an antibody heavy chain dimer, an antibody light chain-antibody heavy chain pair, intrabodies, heteroconjugate antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, single domain antibodies (e.g., VHH, (VHH)2), monovalent antibodies, single chain antibodies, single-chain Fvs (scFv; (scFv)2), camelized antibodies, affybodies, Fab fragments (e.g., Fab, single chain Fab (scFab), F(ab′)2 fragments, disulfide-linked Fvs (sdFv), anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies (including, e.g., anti-anti-Id antibodies), diabodies, tribodies, and antibody-like scaffolds (e.g., fibronectins), Fc fusions (e.g., Fab-Fc, scFv-Fc, VHH-Fc, (scFv)2-Fc, (VHH)2-Fc, and antigen-binding fragments of any of the above, and conjugates or fusion proteins comprising any of the above. In certain embodiments, antibodies described herein refer to polyclonal antibody populations. In certain embodiments, antibodies described herein refer to monoclonal antibody populations. Antibodies can be of any type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA or IgY), any class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 or IgA2), or any subclass (e.g., IgG2a or IgG2b) of immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule.

In a specific embodiment, the antibody is a humanized monoclonal antibody. In another specific embodiment, the antibody is a human monoclonal antibody.
The term “full-length antibody,” as used herein refers to an antibody having a structure substantially similar to a native antibody structure comprising two heavy chains and two light chains interconnected by disulfide bonds. In some embodiments, the two heavy chains comprise a substantially identical amino acid sequence; and the two light chains comprise a substantially identical amino acid sequence. Antibody chains may be substantially identical but not entirely identical if they differ due to post-translational modifications, such as C-terminal cleavage of lysine residues, alternative glycosylation patterns, etc.
The terms “antigen binding fragment” and “antigen binding domain” are used interchangeably herein and refer to one or more polypeptides, other than a full-length antibody, that is capable of specifically binding to antigen and comprises a portion of a full-length antibody (e.g., a VH, a VL). Exemplary antigen binding fragments include, but are not limited to, single domain antibodies (e.g., VHH, (VHH)2), single chain antibodies, single-chain Fvs (scFv; (scFv)2), camelized antibodies, affybodies, Fab fragments (e.g., Fab, single chain Fab (scFab), F(ab′)2 fragments, and disulfide-linked Fvs (sdFv). The antigen binding domain can be part of a larger protein, e.g., a full-length antibody.
The term “(scFv)2” as used herein refers to an antibody that comprises a first and a second scFv operably connected (e.g., via a linker). The first and second scFv can specifically bind the same or different antigens. In some embodiments, the first and second scFv are operably connected by an amino via an amino acid linker.

The term “(VHH)2-Fc” as used herein refers to (VHH)2 operably linked to an Fc domain or a subunit of an Fc domain.
“Antibody-like scaffolds” are known in the art, for example, fibronectin and designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) have been used as alternative scaffolds for antigen-binding domains, see, e.g., Gebauer and Skerra, Engineered protein scaffolds as next-generation antibody therapeutics. Curr Opin Chem Biol 13:245-255 (2009) and Stumpp et al., Darpins: A new generation of protein therapeutics. Drug Discovery Today 13: 695-701 (2008). Exemplary antibody-like scaffold proteins include, but are not limited to, lipocalins (Anticalin), Protein A-derived molecules such as Z-domains of Protein A (Affibody), an A-domain (Avimer/Maxibody), a serum transferrin (trans-body); a designed ankyrin repeat protein (DARPin), VNAR fragments, a fibronectin (AdNectin), a C-type lectin domain (Tetranectin); a variable domain of a new antigen receptor beta-lactamase (VNAR fragments), a human gamma-crystallin or ubiquitin (Affilin molecules); a kunitz type domain of human protease inhibitors, microbodies such as the proteins from the knottin family, peptide aptamers and fibronectin (adnectin).
As used herein, the term “CDR” or “complementarity determining region” means the noncontiguous antigen combining sites found within the variable region of both heavy and light chain polypeptides. These particular regions have been described by Kabat et al., J. Biol. Chem. 252, 6609-6616 (1977) and Kabat et al., Sequences of protein of immunological interest. (1991), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties. Unless otherwise specified, the term “CDR” is a CDR as defined by Kabat et al., J. Biol. Chem. 252, 6609-6616 (1977) and Kabat et al., Sequences of protein of immunological interest. (1991).
As used herein, the term “framework (FR) amino acid residues” refers to those amino acids in the framework region of an antibody variable region. The term “framework region” or “FR region” as used herein, includes the amino acid residues that are part of the variable region, but are not part of the CDRs (e.g., using the Kabat definition of CDRs).
As used herein, the term “heavy chain” when used in reference to an antibody can refer to any distinct type, e.g., alpha (a), delta (6), epsilon (F), gamma (γ), and mu (p), based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain, which give rise to IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM classes of antibodies, respectively, including subclasses of IgG, e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4.
As used herein, the term “light chain” when used in reference to an antibody can refer to any distinct type, e.g., kappa (κ) or lambda (λ) based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domains. Light chain amino acid sequences are well known in the art. In specific embodiments, the light chain is a human light chain.
As used herein, the terms “variable region” refers to a portion of an antibody, generally, a portion of a light or heavy chain, typically about the amino-terminal 110 to 120 amino acids or 110 to 125 amino acids in the mature heavy chain and about 90 to 115 amino acids in the mature light chain, which differ extensively in sequence among antibodies and are used in the binding and specificity of a particular antibody for its particular antigen. The variability in sequence is concentrated in those regions called complementarity determining regions (CDRs) while the more highly conserved regions in the variable domain are called framework regions (FR). Without wishing to be bound by any particular mechanism or theory, it is believed that the CDRs of the light and heavy chains are primarily responsible for the interaction and specificity of the antibody with antigen. In certain embodiments, the variable region is a human variable region. In certain embodiments, the variable region comprises rodent or murine CDRs and human framework regions (FRs). In particular embodiments, the variable region is a primate (e.g., non-human primate) variable region. In certain embodiments, the variable region comprises rodent or murine CDRs and primate (e.g., non-human primate) framework regions (FRs).
The terms “VL” and “VL domain” are used interchangeably to refer to the light chain variable region of an antibody.
The terms “VH” and “VH domain” are used interchangeably to refer to the heavy chain variable region of an antibody.
As used herein, the terms “constant region” and “constant domain” are interchangeable and are common in the art. The constant region is an antibody portion, e.g., a carboxyl terminal portion of a light and/or heavy chain which is not directly involved in binding of an antibody to antigen but which can exhibit various effector functions, such as interaction with an Fc receptor (e.g., Fc gamma receptor). The constant region of an immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule generally has a more conserved amino acid sequence relative to an immunoglobulin (Ig) variable domain.
The term “Fc region” as used herein refers to the C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain that comprises from N- to C-terminus at least a CH2 domain operably connected to a CH3 domain. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises an immunoglobulin (Ig) hinge region operably connected to the N-terminus of the CH2 domain. Examples of proteins with engineered Fc regions can be found in Saunders 2019 (K. O. Saunders, “Conceptual Approaches to Modulating Antibody Effector Functions and Circulation Half-Life,” 2019, Frontiers in Immunology, V. 10, Art. 1296, pp. 1-20, which is incorporated by reference herein).
As used herein, the term “EU numbering system” refers to the EU numbering convention for the constant regions of an antibody, as described in Edelman, G. M. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. USA, 63, 78-85 (1969) and Kabat et al, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, U.S. Dept. Health and Human Services, 5th edition, 1991, each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
As used herein, the term “Kabat numbering system” refers to the Kabat numbering convention for variable regions of an antibody, see e.g., Kabat et al, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, U.S. Dept. Health and Human Services, 5th edition, 1991. Unless otherwise noted, numbering of the variable regions of an antibody are denoted according to the Kabat numbering system.
As used herein, the terms “specifically binds,” refers to molecules that bind to an antigen (e.g., epitope or immune complex) as such binding is understood by one skilled in the art. For example, a molecule that specifically binds to an antigen can bind to other peptides or polypeptides, generally with lower affinity as determined by, e.g., immunoassays, BIAcore©, KinExA 3000 instrument (Sapidyne Instruments, Boise, ID), or other assays known in the art. In a specific embodiment, molecules that specifically bind to an antigen bind to the antigen with a KA that is at least 2 logs (e.g., factors of 10), 2.5 logs, 3 logs, 4 logs or greater than the KA when the molecules bind non-specifically to another antigen. The skilled worker will appreciate that an antibody, as described herein, can specifically bind to more than one antigen (e.g., via different regions of the antibody molecule). The term specifically binds includes molecules that are cross reactive with the same antigen of a different species. For example, an antigen binding domain that specifically binds human CD20 may be cross reactive with CD20 of another species (e.g., cynomolgus monkey, or murine), and still be considered herein to specifically bind human CD20.
“Affinity” refers to the strength of the sum total of non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., a receptor) and its binding partner (e.g., a ligand). Unless indicated otherwise, as used herein, “binding affinity” refers to intrinsic binding affinity, which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., an antigen binding moiety and an antigen, or a receptor and its ligand). The affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y can generally be represented by the dissociation constant (KD), which is the ratio of dissociation and association rate constants (koff and kon, respectively). Thus, equivalent affinities may comprise different rate constants, as long as the ratio of the rate constants remains the same. Affinity can be measured by well-established methods known in the art, including those described herein. A particular method for measuring affinity is Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR).
The determination of “percent identity” between two sequences (e.g., amino acid sequences or nucleic acid sequences) can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. Identity measures the percent of identical matches between the smaller of two or more sequences with gap alignments (if any) addressed by a particular mathematical model or computer program (i.e., “algorithms”). A specific, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm utilized for the comparison of two sequences is the algorithm of Karlin S & Altschul S F (1990) PNAS 87: 2264-2268, modified as in Karlin S & Altschul S F (1993) PNAS 90: 5873-5877, each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Such an algorithm is incorporated into the BLASTN, BLASTP, BLASTX programs of Altschul S F et al., (1990) J Mol Biol 215: 403, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed with the NBLAST nucleotide program parameters set, e.g., for score=100, wordlength=12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to a nucleic acid molecule described herein. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the BLASTP program parameters set, e.g., default settings; to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to a protein molecule described herein. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in Altschul S F et al., (1997) Nuc Acids Res 25: 3389-3402, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Alternatively, PSI BLAST can be used to perform an iterated search which detects distant relationships between molecules (Id.). When utilizing BLAST, Gapped BLAST, and PSI Blast programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., of BLASTP and BLASTN) can be used (see, e.g., National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) on the worldwide web, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Another specific, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm utilized for the comparison of sequences is the algorithm of Myers and Miller, 1988, CABIOS 4:11-17, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Such an algorithm is incorporated in the ALIGN program (version 2.0) which is part of the GCG sequence alignment software package. When utilizing the ALIGN program for comparing amino acid sequences, a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4 can be used. The percent identity between two sequences can be determined using techniques similar to those described above, with or without allowing gaps. In calculating percent identity, typically only exact matches are counted. As described above, the percent identity is based on the amino acid matches between the smaller of two proteins. Therefore, for example, using NCBI Basic Local Alignment Tool—BLASTP program on the default settings (Search Parameters: word size 3, expect value 0.05, hitlist 100, Gapcosts 11,1; Matrix BLOSUM62, Filter string: F; Genetic Code: 1; Window Size: 40; Threshold: 11; Composition Based Stats: 2; Karlin-Altschul Statistics: Lambda: 0.31293; 0.267; K: 0.132922; 0.041; H: 0.401809; 0.14; and Relative Statistics: Effective search space: 288906); the percent identity between SEQ ID NO: 80 and SEQ ID NO: 286 is 100% identity.
As used herein, the term “operably connected” refers to a linkage of polynucleotide sequence elements or amino acid sequence elements in a functional relationship. For example, a polynucleotide sequence is operably connected when it is placed into a functional relationship with another polynucleotide sequence. In some embodiments, a transcription regulatory polynucleotide sequence e.g., a promoter, enhancer, or other expression control element is operably-linked to a polynucleotide sequence that encodes a protein if it affects the transcription of the polynucleotide sequence that encodes the protein.
The terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein and include any human or nonhuman animal. The term “nonhuman animal” includes, but is not limited to, vertebrates such as nonhuman primates, sheep, dogs, and rodents such as mice, rats and guinea pigs. In some embodiments, the subject is a human.
As used herein, the term “administering” refers to the physical introduction of a therapeutic agent (or a precursor of the therapeutic agent that is metabolized or altered within the body of the subject to produce the therapeutic agent in vivo) to a subject, using any of the various methods and delivery systems known to those skilled in the art. Exemplary routes of include intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, spinal or other parenteral routes of administration, for example by injection or infusion. The term “parenteral administration” as used herein means modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intralymphatic, intralesional, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, epidural and intrasternal injection and infusion, as well as in vivo electroporation. A therapeutic agent may be administered via a non-parenteral route, or orally. Other non-parenteral routes include a topical, epidermal or mucosal route of administration, for example, intranasally, vaginally, rectally, sublingually or topically. Administering can also be performed, for example, once, a plurality of times, and/or over one or more extended periods.
A “therapeutically effective amount” or “therapeutically effective dose” of a drug or therapeutic agent is any amount of the drug that, when used alone or in combination with another therapeutic agent, protects a subject against the onset of a disease or promotes disease regression evidenced by a decrease in severity of disease symptoms, an increase in frequency and duration of disease symptom-free periods, or a prevention of impairment or disability due to the disease affliction. The ability of a therapeutic agent to promote disease regression can be evaluated using a variety of methods known to the skilled practitioner, such as in human subjects during clinical trials, in animal model systems predictive of efficacy in humans, or by assaying the activity of the agent in in vitro assays.
The terms “disease,” “disorder,” and “syndrome” are used interchangeably herein.
As used herein, the terms “treat,” treating,” “treatment,” and the like refer to reducing or ameliorating a disease and/or symptom(s) associated therewith or obtaining a desired pharmacologic and/or physiologic effect. It will be appreciated that, although not precluded, treating a disease does not require that the disease or symptoms associated therewith be completely eliminated. In some embodiments, the effect is therapeutic, i.e., without limitation, the effect partially or completely reduces, diminishes, abrogates, abates, alleviates, decreases the intensity of, or cures a disease and/or adverse symptom attributable to the disease. In some embodiments, the effect is preventative, i.e., the effect protects or prevents an occurrence or reoccurrence of a disease. To this end, the presently disclosed methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compositions as described herein.

The amino acid sequence of exemplary linkers for use in any one or more of the fusion proteins described herein is provided in Table 5 below.
Also described herein are constructs that comprise a targeting domain (e.g., a VHH, (VHH)2) bound to an effector domain (e.g., an effector domain that comprises a catalytic domain of an deubiquitinase, or an effector domain that comprises a deubiquitinase). In some embodiments, the association of the targeting domain and the effector domain is mediated by binding of a first agent (e.g., a small molecule, protein, or peptide) attached to the targeting domain and a second agent (e.g., a small, molecule, protein, or peptide) attached to the effector domain. For example, in one embodiment, the targeting domain may be attached to a first agent that specifically binds to a second agent that is attached to the effector domain. In some embodiments, specific binding of the first agent to the second agent is mediated by addition of a third agent (e.g., a small molecule).
For example, a conditional construct includes an KBP/FRB-based dimerization switch, e.g., as described in US20170081411 (the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein), can be utilized herein. FKBP12 (FKBP or FK506 binding protein) is an abundant cytoplasmic protein that serves as the initial intracellular target for the natural product immunosuppressive drug, rapamycin. Rapamycin binds to FKBP and to the large PI3K homolog FRAP (RAFT, mTOR), thereby acting to dimerize these molecules. In some embodiments, an FKBP/FRAP based switch, also referred to herein as an FKBP/FRB based switch, can utilize a heterodimerization molecule, e.g., rapamycin or a rapamycin analog. FRB is a 93 amino acid portion of FRAP, that is sufficient for binding the FKBP-rapamycin complex (Chen, J., Zheng, X. F., Brown, E. J. & Schreiber, S. L. (1995) Identification of an 11-kDa FKBP12-rapamycin-binding domain within the 289-kDa FKBP12-rapamycin-associated protein and characterization of a critical serine residue. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 92: 4947-51), the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference herein. For example, the targeting domain can be attached to FKBP and the effector domain attached to FRB. Thereby, the association of the targeting domain and the effector domain is mediated by rapamycin and only takes place in the presence of rapamycin.

Fusion proteins described herein can be made by any conventional technique known in the art, for example, recombinant techniques or chemical synthesis (e.g., solid phase peptide synthesis). In some embodiments, the fusion protein is made through recombinant expression in a cell (e.g., a eukaryotic cell, e.g., a mammalian cell). Briefly, the fusion protein can be made by synthesizing the DNA encoding the fusion protein and cloning the DNA into any suitable expression vector. Numerous cloning vectors are known to those of skill in the art, and the selection of an appropriate cloning vector is a matter of choice. The gene can be placed under the control of a promoter, ribosome binding site (for bacterial expression) and, optionally, an operator and/or one or more enhancer elements, so that the DNA sequence encoding the fusion protein is transcribed into RNA in the host cell transformed by a vector containing this expression construction. The coding sequence may or may not contain a signal peptide or leader sequence. Heterologous leader sequences can be added to the coding sequence that causes the secretion of the expressed polypeptide from the host organism. Other regulatory sequences may also be desirable which allow for regulation of expression of the protein sequences relative to the growth of the host cell. Such regulatory sequences are known to those of skill in the art, and examples include those which cause the expression of a gene to be turned on or off in response to a chemical or physical stimulus, including the presence of a regulatory compound. Other types of regulatory elements may also be present in the vector, for example, enhancer sequences. The control sequences and other regulatory sequences may be ligated to the coding sequence prior to insertion into a vector, such as the cloning vectors described above. Alternatively, the coding sequence can be cloned directly into an expression vector which already contains the control sequences and an appropriate restriction site.
The expression vector may then be used to transform an appropriate host cell. A number of mammalian cell lines are known in the art and include immortalized cell lines available from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), such as, but not limited to, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, CHO-suspension cells (CHO-S), HeLa cells, HEK293, baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells, monkey kidney cells (COS), VERO, HepG2, MadinDarby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells, NOS, U2OS, A549, HT1080, CAD, P19, NIH3T3, L929, N2a, MCF-7, Y79, SO-Rb50, DUKX-X11, and J558L.
Depending on the expression system and host selected, the fusion protein is produced by growing host cells transformed by an expression vector described above under conditions whereby the fusion protein is expressed. The fusion protein is then isolated from the host cells and purified. If the expression system secretes the fusion protein into growth media, the fusion protein can be purified directly from the media. If the fusion protein is not secreted, it is isolated from cell lysates. The selection of the appropriate growth conditions and recovery methods are within the skill of the art. Once purified, the amino acid sequences of the fusion proteins can be determined, i.e., by repetitive cycles of Edman degradation, followed by amino acid analysis by HPLC. Other methods of amino acid sequencing are also known in the art. Once purified, the functionality of the fusion protein can be assessed, e.g., as described herein, e.g., utilizing a bifunctional ELISA.
As described above, functionality of the fusion protein can be tested by any method known in the art. Each functionality can be measured in a separate assay. For example, binding of the targeting domain to the target protein can be measure using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Catalytic activity of the effector domain can be measured using any standard deubiquitinase activity assay known in the art. For example, BioVision Deubiquitinase Activity Assay Kit (Fluorometric) Catalog #K485-100 according to the manufacturer's instructions. The deubiquitinase activity of a fusion protein described herein can be measured for example by using a fluorescent deubiquitinase substrate to detect deubiquitinase activity upon cleavage of the fluorescent substrate. The deubiquitinase activity can also be measured according to the materials and methods set forth in the Examples provided herein.

The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples which should not be construed as further limiting.
This example provides general experimental methods of using fluorescent tagged target proteins together with fluorophore tagged engineered deubiquitinases (enDUBs) to demonstrate up-regulation of expression in the context of an enDUB. For illustrative purposes the constructs disclosed below will be synthesized in a suitable vector for mammalian expression. Generally, the target protein will be expressed with a C-terminal YFP followed by a P2A cleavage signal and an mCherry protein as a second reporter (Target protein-YFP-P2A-mCherry). This construct will be co-transfected in the presence of a trifunctional fusion protein comprising of a CFP protein followed by a P2A signal and a nanobody specifically binding to YPF followed by the engineered DUB (CFP-P2A-Anti-YFPnanobody-enDUB). In applications for drug treatment the targeting nanobodies (or other specific binders) will be directed to the wild type (or disease-causing mutant) protein in the cell to be upregulated while the enDUB is fused to a binding protein directed to the target protein. Target protein binding moieties could be any antibody or antibody fragments, nanobodies, or any other non-antibody scaffold such as fibronectins, anticalins, ankyrin repeats or natural binding proteins interacting specifically with the target protein to be upregulated. The amino acid sequence of the components of the test fusion proteins is provided in Table 7 below.
The amino acid sequence of the test fusion proteins is provided in Table 8 below.
To demonstrate upregulation of a target protein in the context of a specific targeting enDUB the following experiments will be performed.
Schematic constructs used:
Co-transfection of both plasmids carrying the YFP tagged target protein together with the enDUB fused to a target binding protein into HEK cells will be performed. A control construct carrying the enDUB in the absence of the targeting binder will also be co-transfected together with the labeled target protein. After 24-48 hours the transfected cells will be analyzed by FACS or upregulation over the control. The mCherry signal on the target protein will be used to normalize for transfection efficiency while the CFP signal will be used to normalize for the transfection efficiency of the enDUB constructs. The YFP fused to the target protein is the read-out for target gene expression and will be plotted vs the signal in the control transfection. Relative increase in the YFP fluorescence over control will demonstrate upregulation in the presence of the enDUB.
The following example describes an assay to analyze the ability of a targeted engineered deubiquitinase (enDub) (e.g., an enDub described herein) to increase expression of a target protein. Generally, the assay involves tagging the target protein with a fluorescent tag (e.g., NanoLuciferase (NLuc)) and an alfa-tag (α-Tag); and tagging a fusion protein of the enDub and an anti-alfa Tag nanobody with a different fluorescent tag (e.g., Firefly Luciferase (FLuc)) through a cleavable linker. The use of two different fluorescent tags enables normalization of the signal to compensate for variation in transfection/expression, as the second fluorescent tag is rapidly cleaved from the enDub-anti-alfa tag fusion protein inside the cell through cleavage of the cleavable linker.

The cells were digested with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin-EDTA, at 37° C. for 5 min. Complete medium was added to the culture to stop the digestion and the cells were counted for use in NanoGlo® Dual Luciferase® Assay (Promega), which enables detection of FLuc and NLuc® in a single sample. The NanoGlo® Dual Luciferase® Assay was carried out according to manufacturer's instructions (Promega, Nano-Glo® Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay Technical Manual #TM426). Briefly, 1E+4 cells/well were placed in 96 well black plates and cultured for 24h, at 37° C., 5% CO2. The plates were removed from the incubator and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature. The samples were modified as needed to have a starting volume of 80 μl per well. All sample wells were injected with 80 μl of ONE-Glo™ EX Reagent and incubated for 3 minutes. The firefly luminescence was read in all sample wells using a 1-second integration time. All sample wells were injected with 80 μl of NanoDLR™ Stop & Glo® Reagent; and incubated for 5 minutes. The NanoLuc® luminescence of all sample wells was read using a 1-second integration time.

A series of camelid VHHs were screened for binding to the His-SynGAP-EC[1186-1277] produced above. Briefly, a tube was coated with His-SynGAP-EC[1186-1277], washed, blocked, washed, incubated with a phase library expressing camelid VHHs, washed, and the phages expressing camelid VHH binders that bound to His-SynGAP-EC[1186-1277] were eluted from the tube with glycine-HCL. The concentration of the eluted phages was determined. First, the eluted phages were added to E. Coli TG1. TG1 was poured onto a plate and cultured upside down. The PFU was calculated based on the number of plaques (i.e. dead TG1) on the plate. The eluted phages were added to TG1 followed infection by helper phage and cultured. Phages were precipitated with PEG/NaCl and subsequently resuspended. The phages were screened using a polyclonal ELISA and a monoclonal ELISA. Briefly, the polyclonal ELISA was carried out utilizing a plate coated with His-SynGAP-EC[1186-1277] (4 g/mL) or control buffer. The coated plate was washed, blocked, washed, and incubated with the amplified eluted phages. Subsequently the plate was washed and incubated with anti-phage-HRP antibody, washed, and incubated with TMB followed by HCL. The result readings were taken at 450 nm. The monoclonal phase ELISA was carried out according to the following. Single TG1 clones randomly selected from plates (described above) were cultured with helper phage. A total of 192 clones from round 3+96 clones from round 4+96 clones from round 5 were selected. The clones were centrifuged and the supernatant (i.e. the phages) were collected. A plate was coated with His-SynGAP-EC[1186-1277](4 μg/ml) or control buffer. The plate was washed, blocked, washed, incubated with the selected phages, washed, incubated with anti-phage-HRP antibody, washed, and incubated with TMB followed by HCL. The results were read of 450 nm.
Six anti-His-SynGAP-EC[1186-1277] VHHs were identified and sequenced from the above. The amino acid sequence of the six anti-His-SynGAP-EC[1186-1277] VHHs is disclosed in Table 12 below.
EnDubs targeting SYNGAP1 were constructed using the anti-SYNGAP1 nanobodies described in above in Example 4. The experimental fusion proteins contained from N to C terminus: FireflyLuciferase-P2A-anti-syngap1 nanobody-Cezanne catalytic domain. The amino acid sequence of each of the experimental anti-SYNGAP1 enDubs is provided below in Table 13.
