Abstract: Methods for evolving or selecting or producing therapeutic proteins that exhibit reduced adverse side-effects and the resulting proteins are provided. For example, provided herein is an in vitro assay to identify conditionally active therapeutic proteins that exhibit better activity within one in vivo environment compared to another in vivo environment. The methods include the steps of a) testing the activity of a protein under conditions in which normal or increased activity is desired; b) testing the activity of the protein under conditions in which reduced activity compared to normal is desired; and c) comparing the activity in a) with b) and selecting/identifying a protein that has greater activity in a) compared to b). The selected/identified protein is a conditionally active protein.

Abstract: The invention relates to the discovery of a novel Chondroitinase Glycoproteins (CHASEGPs), methods of manufacture, and potential uses in conditions where removal of chondroitin sulfates may be of therapeutic benefit. Chondroitinase Glycoproteins require both a substantial portion of the catalytic domain of the CHASEGP polypeptide and asparagine-linked glycosylation for optimal chondroitinase activity. The invention also includes carboxy-terminal deletion variants of CHASEGP that result in secreted variants of the protein to facilitate manufacture of a recombinant CHASEGP. Further described are suitable formulations of a substantially purified recombinant CHASEGP glycoprotein derived from a eukaryotic cell that generate the proper glycosylation required for its optimal activity. CHASEGP is useful for the degradation of glycosaminoglycans and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans under clinical conditions where their removal is of therapeutic value.
