TARGETED THERAPEUTIC LYSOSOMAL ENZYME FUSION PROTEINS AND USES THEREOF
The present invention relates in general to therapeutic fusion proteins useful to treat lysosomal storage diseases and methods for treating such diseases. Exemplary therapeutic fusion proteins comprise a lysosomal enzyme, a lysosomal targeting moiety, e.g., an IGF-II peptide, and a spacer peptide. Also provided are compositions and methods for treating Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB (Sanfilippo B Syndrome), comprising a targeted therapeutic fusion protein comprising alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (Naglu), a lysosomal targeting moiety, e.g., an IGF-II peptide, and a spacer peptide.
Polypeptide assemblies and methods for the production thereof
The application discloses multimeric assemblies including multiple oligomeric substructures, where each oligomeric substructure includes multiple proteins that self-interact around at least one axis of rotational symmetry, where each protein includes one or more polypeptide-polypeptide interface (O interface); and one or more polypeptide domain that is capable of effecting membrane scission and release of an enveloped multimeric assembly from a cell by recruiting the ESCRT machinery to the site of budding by binding to one or more proteins in the eukaryotic ESCRT complex (L domain); and where the multimeric assembly includes one or more subunits comprising one or more polypeptide domain that is capable of interacting with a lipid bilayer (M domain), as well as membrane-enveloped versions of the multimeric assemblies.
BIOLOGICAL PRODUCT, METHOD AND APPLICATION THEREOF
The present application provides a biological product and a method and an application thereof. The biological product is used for the preparation of a therapeutic agent for cancer treatment, and it includes at least one of the recombinant butyrylcholinesterase-albumin (rBChE-albumin) fusion protein and the recombinant butyrylcholinesterase-Fc (rBChE-Fc) fusion protein. The biological product adjusts the balance of acetylcholine and other related metabolic pathways by supplementing at least one of the exogenous rBChE-albumin fusion protein and rBChE-Fc fusion protein to treat cancer. The present invention solves the problem that the extraction and purification of BChE from human serum may not meet the huge demand for cancer treatment. The present application further provides a biological product for neutralizing and degrading nerve agents and organophosphate compounds, hydrolyzing ghrelin, and anti-wrinkle.
