Abstract: A targeted therapeutic including a lysosomal enzyme and a lysosomal targeting moiety that is a peptide containing at least one N-linked glycosylation site. Methods of producing the targeted therapeutic may include nucleotide acids encoding the same and host cells co-expressing GNPT. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the targeted therapeutic and methods of using the same to treat a lysosomal storage disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods and compositions for treating muscular dystrophy, in particular, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In some embodiments, a method according to the present invention includes administering to an individual who is suffering from or susceptible to DMD an effective amount of a recombinant follistatin fusion protein such that at least one symptom or feature of DMD is reduced in intensity, severity, or frequency, or has delayed onset.

Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods and compositions for treating complement mediated disease. In some embodiments, recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor proteins having similar or longer half-life than native plasma-derived human C1 esterase inhibitor, and methods of making the same are provided. In some embodiments, the invention provides a method for administering an effective amount of a recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor protein to an individual who is suffering from or susceptible to a complement-mediated disease such that at least one symptom or feature of said complement-mediated disease is prevented and/or reduced in intensity, severity, or frequency.

Abstract: A method of producing mannose-6-phosphate (M6P)-containing recombinant alpha-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (Naglu), including the steps of providing a high mannose containing recombinant Naglu protein; and contacting the high mannose containing recombinant Naglu protein with N-acetyl-glucosamine-1-phosphotransferase (GNPT) under conditions that permit phosphorylation of one or more mannose residues on the recombinant Naglu protein, thereby generating M6P-containing recombinant Naglu. A mannose-6-phosphate (M6P)-containing recombinant alpha-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (Naglu) protein produced by this method, a composition comprising such Naglu protein, and a method of treating Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B (MPS IIIB) including administering to a subject in need of treatment this composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides the three-dimensional structure of human ?-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU) protein. This crystallographic information is useful in the identification and development of novel binding compounds of NAGLU, NAGLU mutants, for example, those associated with Sanfilippo syndrome type B (mucopolysaccharidosis III B (MPS III-B)), and other NAGLU family members (family 89 ?-N-acetylglucosaminidase) which may modulate the activity and/or stability of mutated NAGLU. Such compounds may be useful for the treatment of Sanfilippo syndrome type B (mucopolysaccharidosis III B (MPS III-B)).
