  • Publication number: 20240287491
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to Botulinum toxin X (BoNT X) protein variants (e.g., BoNT X protease variants). The variants provided herein have been evolved to cleave procaspase-1. Some of the variants provided herein do not cleave the native substrate of BoNT X protease, VAMP1 protein. Further aspects of the disclosure relate to nucleic acids encoding the procaspase-1 cleaving polypeptides described herein and expression vectors comprising the nucleic acids, as well as host cells and fusion proteins comprising the procaspase-1 cleaving polypeptides described herein and kits comprising the procaspase-1 cleaving polypeptides, nucleic acids, fusion proteins, expression vectors, or host cells described herein. Further aspects of the disclosure relate to methods of producing BoNT X protein variants (e.g., BoNT X protease variants) and methods of using the BoNT X protein variants (e.g., BoNT X protease variants), for example, to induce cell death.

  • Publication number: 20220363741
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are inhibitors, such as antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof, that selectively bind complexes of LTBP1-TGF? and/or LTBP3-TGF?. The application also provides methods of use of these inhibitors for, for example, inhibiting TGF? activation, and treating subjects suffering from TGF?-related disorders, such as fibrotic conditions. Methods of selecting a context-dependent or context-independent isoform-specific TGF? inhibitor for a subject in need thereof are also provided.
    Type: Application
