  • Patent number: 11738069
    Abstract: The invention relates to a glycosylated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence being identical or homologous to at least a fragment of a mammalian, preferably a human protein, wherein said glycosylated polypeptide contains one or more sialylated O-glycans and wherein the glycosylated polypeptide shows an increased binding affinity to one or more SIGLECs, selected from SIG-5, SIG-7, SIG-8, and SIG-9 compared to the mammalian protein or fragment thereof. The invention further relates to composition comprising a first and a second polypeptide, wherein the first polypeptide is a glycosylated polypeptide containing one or more sialylated O-glycans and the second polypeptide contains an amino acid sequence homologous or identical to a second mammalian, in particular human protein, wherein compared to the second polypeptide the composition has an increased binding affinity to a SIGLEC selected from to one or more SIGLECs, selected from SIG-5, SIG-7, SIG-8, and SIG-9.

  • Publication number: 20190169268
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fusion protein comprising a main protein and one or more extension peptides, wherein the amino acid sequence of the main protein is identical or similar to the amino acid sequence of a mammalian protein or a fragment thereof, and said extension peptide comprises a cluster of O-glycosylated amino acids. The extension peptide is identical to a non-repeated sequence of the mammalian protein and/or identical or similar to SEQ ID NO: 1. The main protein is preferably VWF. The fusion protein has an increased half life as compared to the main protein and may be used to increase the half-life of a binding partner, e.g. FVIII. The invention further relates to the complex formed by the fusion protein, a polynucleotide encoding the fusion protein as well as a vector and host cell comprising the polynucleotide.
