METHOD FOR GENERATING VARIANTS OF A PROTEIN
20230227534 · 2023-07-20 ·

The present disclosure relates to a method for generating variants of a protein based on a native protein regulated by allosteric pathway, the method comprising: i) providing 3D structures of the native protein; ii) identifying at least one pair of coupled allosteric sites within the amino acid sequence of the native protein named microswitch; iii) generating in silico mutations of said identified microswitch to generate a pool of variants; iv) computing at least one score reflecting the variation in allosteric coupling; and/or the variation in the relative stability v) predicting the activity of each variant compared to the native protein based on the computed score. The disclosure also concern a computer implemented program to carry out said method, and a variant of a protein or an active fragment thereof, a polynucleotide.

Proteogenomic-based method for identifying tumor-specific antigens

T cells, notably CD8 T cells, are known to be essential players in tumor eradication as the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILS) in several cancers positively correlates with a good prognosis. To eliminate tumor cells, CD8 T cells recognize tumor antigens, which are MHC I-associated peptides present at the surface of tumor cells, with no or very low expression on normal cells. Described herein a proteogenomic approach using RNA-sequencing data from cancer and normal-matched mTEC.sup.hi samples in order to identify non-tolerogenic tumor-specific antigens derived from (i) coding and non-coding regions of the genome, (ii) non-synonymous single-base mutations or short insertion/deletions and more complex rearrangements as well as (iii) endogenous retroelements, which works regardless of the sample's mutational load or complexity.

Protein structure-based protein language models

The technology disclosed relates to determining pathogenicity of nucleotide variants. In particular, the technology disclosed relates to specifying a particular amino acid at a particular position in a protein as a gap amino acid, and specifying remaining amino acids at remaining positions in the protein as non-gap amino acids. The technology disclosed further relates to generating a gapped spatial representation of the protein that includes spatial configurations of the non-gap amino acids, and excludes a spatial configuration of the gap amino acid, and determining a pathogenicity of a nucleotide variant based at least in part on the gapped spatial representation, and a representation of an alternate amino acid created by the nucleotide variant at the particular position.
