  • Patent number: 10881741
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel, single chain Fc fusion proteins having improved properties. The invention provides single chain fusions of soluble proteins fused to the Fc region of an immunoglobulin via a novel linker comprising a constant region of an immunoglobulin light chain linked to a CH1 constant region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain. This novel linker confers favorable properties on the Fc fusion proteins of the invention such as improved bioactivity and increased half-life as compared to non-Fc fusion counterparts or as compared to prior art Fc fusion proteins. The novel Fc fusion protein scaffold as described herein may be designed to include soluble proteins of interest capable of binding or interacting with any target of interest. Preferably, the Fc fusion protein of the invention is a dimer. The dimer preferably forms via a disulfide bond between free cysteine residues in the hinge region of two monomeric Fc fusion proteins of the invention.

  • Patent number: 10183979
    Abstract: The invention provides fusion proteins having improved bioactivity comprising a first polypeptide fusion partner and a second polypeptide fusion partner wherein the first fusion partner is linked to the second fusion partner by a mucin-domain polypeptide linker and wherein the bioactivity of the fusion protein of the invention is improved as compared to fusion of the first polypeptide fusion partner and the second polypeptide fusion partner in the absence of the mucin-domain polypeptide linker. Mucin-domain polypeptide linkers comprise a mucin domain that is rich in potential glycosylation sites, and has a high content of serine and/or threonine and proline, which can represent greater than 40% of the amino acids within the mucin domain and further comprise at least about 60% of its mass due to the glycans.
