Methods For Making And Using Molecular Switches Involving Circular Permutation

View page
US Patent:
20130149785, Jun 13, 2013
Filed:
Nov 19, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/680751
Inventors:
The Johns Hopkins University - Baltimore MD, US
Gurkan Guntas - Carrboro NC, US
Assignee:
THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY - Baltimore MD
International Classification:
C12N 15/62
C12N 15/65
US Classification:
435455, 435 9141, 435485, 435488, 435476, 435483, 435468, 435375
Abstract:
The invention provides molecular switches which couple external signals to functionality, and combinatorial methods of making and using the same involving circular permutation of nucleic acid and amino acid sequences. The switches according to the invention can be used, for example, to regulate gene transcription, target drug delivery to specific cells, transport drugs intracellularly, control drug release, provide conditionally active proteins, perform metabolic engineering, and modulate cell signaling pathways. Libraries comprising the switches, expression vectors and host cells for expressing the switches are also provided.

US Patent:
20230102344, Mar 30, 2023
Filed:
Jun 30, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/855335
Inventors:
- Cambridge MA, US
Gurkan Guntas - Newton MA, US
Peter Marek - Hudson MA, US
Andreas Loew - Boston MA, US
International Classification:
C07K 16/28
C12N 15/62
C07K 14/55
C07K 14/54
C07K 14/57
A61K 39/395
A61K 45/06
A61P 35/00
Abstract:
Multifunctional molecules that include i) an antigen binding domain that binds to CD33; and one or both of: an immune cell engager (e.g., chosen from a T cell engager, an NK cell engager, a B cell engager, a dendritic cell engager, or a macrophage cell engager) or a cytokine molecule. Additionally disclosed are nucleic acids encoding the same, methods of producing the aforesaid molecules, and methods of treating a cancer using the aforesaid molecules.
