Abstract: The present invention is directed toward the delivery of a toxic protein to pathogenic cells, particularly cancer cells. In preferred embodiments, the toxic protein is a ribonuclease that has been modified to make it toxic to target cells and that can be conjugated to a target cell-specific delivery vector, such as an antibody, for delivery to pathogenic cells.

Abstract: Modified ribonucleases belonging to the RNase A superfamily of ribonucleases is disclosed. Each modified ribonuclease has a mutation in the loop region corresponding to amino acids 85-94 of bovine pancreatic RNase A. Each modified ribonuclease has reduced binding affinity for ribonuclease inhibitor (RI), wild-type ribonuclease activity, and exhibits enhanced cytotoxicity toward tumor cells, relative to the wild-type ribonuclease. Also disclosed is a method for obtaining a modified ribonuclease having reduced binding affinity for RI, wild-type ribonuclease activity, and enhanced cytotoxicity.
