Summary for Patent: 9,175,326
Title: | Transglycosylation activity of glycosynthase mutants of an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (endo-D) from streptococcus pneumoniae |
Abstract: | The present invention provides for recombinant Endo-D and selected mutants that exhibit reduced hydrolysis activity and increased transglycosylation activity for the synthesis of glycoproteins wherein a desired sugar chain is added to a core fucosylated or nonfucosylated GlcNAc-protein acceptor by transglycosylation. Such recombinant Endo-D and selected mutants are useful for efficient glycosylation remodeling of IgG1-Fc domain. |
Inventor(s): | Wang; Lai-Xi (Ellicott City, MD) |
Assignee: | UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE (Baltimore, MD) |
Application Number: | 13/759,221 |
Patent Claims: | 1. A method of preparing a fucosylated or nonfucosylated glycoprotein having a predetermined oligosaccharide moiety, the method comprising: providing a fucosylated or
nonfucosylated GlcNAc acceptor protein comprising an asparagine-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residue, wherein the fucosylated acceptor protein is an alpha-1-6-fucosyl-GlcNAc-protein and the nonfucosylated acceptor protein is an
alpha-1-6-GlcNAc-protein; and enzymatically reacting the fucosylated or nonfucosylated GlcNAc acceptor protein with an activated oligosaccharide donor in the presence of an Endoglycosidase-D full length or truncated mutant selected from the group
consisting of SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, and SEQ ID NO: 9, wherein the activated oligosaccharide donor comprises an oxazoline covalently linked to an oligosaccharide moiety, wherein the oligosaccharide moiety
comprises a mannose type N-glycan having a predetermined number of mannose residues, wherein the enzymatically reacting covalently links the oligosaccharide moiety to the fucosylated or nonfucosylated GlcNAc acceptor protein, thereby providing the
fucosylated or nonfucosylated glycoprotein having the predetermined oligosaccharide moiety.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the fucosylated or nonfucosylated GlcNAc acceptor protein is an antibody or fragment thereof. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the activated oligosaccharide donor is a oligosaccharide oxazoline. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the oligosaccharide oxazoline comprises di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexyl-, hepta-, or octyl-mannoses. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the activated oligosaccharide oxazoline further comprises an additional biologically active agent or a tag. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the additional biologically active agent or tag is a drug, toxin, fluorescent probe, biotin, a PEG, lipid, or polypeptide. 7. The method of claim 2, wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody selected from the group consisting of cetuximab, rituximab, muromonab-CD3, abciximab, daclizumab, basiliximab, palivizumab, infliximab, trastuzumab, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, alemtuzumab, ibritumomab tiuxetan, adalimumab, omalizumab, tositumomab, efalizumab, bevacizumab, panitumumab, pertuzumab, natalizumab, etanercept, volociximab, Anti-CD80 mAb, Anti-CD23 mAb, eraptuzumab, matuzumab, zanolimumab, adecatumumab, oregovomab, nimotuzumab, denosumab, fontolizumab, daclizumab, golimumab, ocrelizumab, HuMax-CD20, belimumab, epratuzumab, visilizumab, tocilizumab, ocrerlizumab, certolizumab pegol, eculizumab, pexelizumab, abciximab, ranibizimumab, and mepolizumab. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of providing a fucosylated or nonfucosylated GLcNAc acceptor protein comprises (a) providing a fucosylated or nonfucosylated glycoprotein substrate comprising at least two GlcNAc residues having a covalent bond between the at least two GlcNAc residues, wherein one of the at least two GlcNAc residues is covalently bonded to an amino acid residue of the fucosylated or nonfucosylated glycoprotein; and (b) enzymatically treating the fucosylated or nonfucosylated glycoprotein substrate with an endoglycosidase enzyme to hydrolyze the covalent bond between the at least two GlcNAc residues, thereby forming a deglycosylated protein having a single GlcNAc-moiety, wherein the endoglycosidase enzyme is selected from the group consisting of Endoglycosidase-H, Endoglycosidase-S, Endoglycosidase-F3 and Endoglycosidase-A. 9. The method of claim 2, wherein the antibody or fragment thereof further comprises an additional moiety selected from a group consisting of a therapeutic agent for treating cancer, a therapeutic agent for HIV, a toxin, an antigen, a chemokine and a cytokine. 10. A method of synthesizing a modified antibody or fragment thereof, the method comprising; providing an antibody or fragment thereof comprising a fucosylated or nonfucosylated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) moiety; wherein the fucosylated or nonfucosylated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) moiety is positioned on a Fc region of the antibody or fragment thereof; enzymatically transferring an oligosaccharide having a predetermined number of saccharides to the fucosylated or nonfucosylated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) moiety under the catalysis of an Endoglycosidase-D full length or truncated mutant selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8 and SEQ ID NO: 9, to form the modified antibody or fragment thereof with the predetermined number of saccharides. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the modified antibody or fragment thereof further comprises an additional moiety including, a therapeutic agent for treating cancer, a therapeutic agent for HIV, a toxin, an antigen, a therapeutic polypeptide, a chemokine and/or a cytokine attached to the oligosaccharide. |
