  • Publication number: 20210177983
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080113421
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to enzymes and other proteins resistant to denaturation, and techniques for making and using the same. In one aspect, lysine and/or other charged residues within an enzyme are reacted in some fashion, which can render the enzyme more resistant to denaturation. For example, the lysine residue may be neutralized by acetylating the residue, for instance, by exposure to acetic anhydride. In some aspects, the enzyme, after reaction, may be relatively resistant to degradation when placed in a harsh environment, for example, when exposed to sodium dodecyl sulfate at a concentration of at least about 2.5 mM in Tris-Gly buffer. The enzyme may still be susceptible to denaturation in some cases, but at a much slower rate (e.g., the denaturation time constant may be higher). Other aspects of the invention are directed to enzymes prepared in such fashion, methods of promoting or using such enzymes, kits involving such enzymes, and the like.
