Description

DESCRIPTION

Human Proteins Having Secretory Signal Sequences and DNAs Encoding These Proteins

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to human proteins having secretory signal sequences and DNAs encoding these proteins . The proteins of the present invention can be used as pharmaceuticals or as antigens for preparing antibodies against said proteins . The cDNAs of the present invention can be used as probes for the gene diagnosis and gene sources for the gene therapy. Furthermore, the cDNAs can be used as gene sources for large-scale production of the proteins encoded by said cDNAs .

BACKGROUND ART

Cells secrete many proteins outside the cells. These secretory proteins play important roles for the proliferation control, the differentiation induction, the material transportation, the biological protection, etc. in the cells. Different from intracellular proteins, the secretory proteins exert their actions outside the cells, whereby they can be administered in the intracorporeal manner such as the injection or the drip to anticipate the potentialities as medicines. In fact, a number of human secretory proteins such as interleukins , interferons, erythropoietin, thrombolytic agents, etc. have been currently utilized as medicines. In addition, secretory proteins other than those described above have been undergoing clinical trials to develop as pharmaceuticals. Since it has been conceived that the human cells still produce many unknown secretory proteins, availability of these secretory proteins as well as genes encoding them is expected to lead to the development of novel pharmaceuticals using these proteins.

Heretofore, such a secretory protein has been obtained by a method comprising the isolation and purification of the target protein from a large amount of the blood or a cell culture supernatant by using the biological activity as an indicator, determination of its primary structure followed by cloning of the corresponding cDNA on the basis of the information on the thus-obtained amino acid sequence, and production of the reco binant protein using said cDNA. However, the contents of the secretory proteins are generally so low that the isolation and purification are difficult in many cases. On the other hand, secretory proteins and type-I membrane proteins possess hydrophobic sequences, defined as the secretory signal sequences, consisting of about 20 amino acid residues at the amino acid termini (the N-termini). Therefore, the cloning of genes encoding the secretory proteins or type-I membrane proteins is expected to be performed by using the presence or the absence of these secretory signal sequences as indicators.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to provide novel human proteins having secretory signal sequences and DNAs encoding said proteins .

As the result of intensive studies, the present inventors were successful in cloning of cDNAs having secretory signal sequences from a human full-length cDNA bank, thereby completing the present invention. That is to say, the present invention provides proteins containing any of the amino acid sequences represented by Sequence No. 1 to Sequence No. 9 that are human proteins having secretory signal sequences. The present invention, also, provides DNAs encoding said proteins exemplified as cDNAs containing any of the base sequences represented by Sequence No. 10 to sequence No. 18. Each of the proteins of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by a method for isolation from human organs, cell lines, etc, a method for preparation of the peptide by the chemical synthesis on the basis of the amino acid sequence of the present invention, or a method for production with the recombinant DNA technology using the DNA encoding the human secretory protein of the present invention, wherein the method for obtainment by the recombinant DNA technology is employed preferably. For example, an in vitro expression can be achieved by preparation of an RNA by the in vitro transcription from a vector having a cDNA of the present invention, followed by the in vitro translation using this RNA as a template. Also, the recombination of the translation domain to a suitable expression vector by the method known in the art leads to the expression of a large amount of the encoded protein by using Escherichia coll , Bacillus subtilis, yeasts, animal cells, and so on. In the case in which a protein of the present invention is expressed by a microorganism such as Escherichia coli , the translation region of a cDNA of the present invention is constructed in an expression vector having an origin, a promoter, ribosome-binding site(s), cDNA-cloning site(s), a terminator, etc. that can be replicated in the microorganism and, after transformation of the host cells with said expression vector, the thus-obtained transformant is incubated, whereby the protein encoded by said cDNA can be produced on a large scale in the microorganism. In that case, a maturation protein can be obtained by performing the expression with inserting an initiation codon in the translation region where the secretary signal sequence is removed. Alternatively, a fusion protein with another protein can be expressed. Only a protein portion encoding said cDNA can be obtained by cleavage of said fusion protein with an appropriate protease.

In the case in which a protein of the present invention is secretory-expressed in animal cells, the protein of the present invention can be secretory-produced as a maturation protein outside the cells, when the translation region of said cDNA is subjected to recombination to an expression vector for animal cells that has a promoter for the animal cells, a splicing domain, a poly(A) addition site, etc., followed by transfection into the animal cells.

The proteins of the present invention include peptide fragments (more than 5 amino acid residues) containing any partial amino acid sequence of the amino acid sequences represented by Sequence No. 1 to Sequence No. 9. These fragments can be used as antigens for preparation of the antibodies. Also, the proteins of the present invention are secreted in the form of maturation proteins outside the cells, after the signal sequences are removed. Therefore, these maturation proteins shall come within the scope of the present invention. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the maturation proteins can be easily identified by using the method for the cleavage-site determination in a signal sequence [Japanese Patent Kokai Publication No. 1996-187100]. Furthermore, many secretory proteins are subjected to the processing after the secretion to be converted to the active forms . These activated proteins or peptides shall come within the scope of the present invention. When glycosylation sites are present in the amino acid sequences, expression in appropriate animal cells affords glycosylated proteins. Therefore, these glycosylated proteins or peptides also shall come within the scope of the present invention.

The DNAs of the present invention include all DNAs encoding the above-mentioned proteins . Said DNAs can be obtained using the method by chemical synthesis, the method by cDNA cloning, and so on.

Each of the cDNAs of the present invention can be cloned from, for example, a cDNA library of the human cell origin. The cDNA is synthesized using as a template a poly(A) RNA extracted from human cells. The human cells may be cells delivered from the human body, for example, by the operation or may be the culture cells. The cDNA can be synthesized by using any method selected from the Okayama-Berg method [Okayama, H. and Berg, P., Mol . Cell. Biol . 2: 161-170 (1982)], the Gubler-Hoffman method [Gubler, U. and Hoffman, J. Gene 25: 263-269 (1983)], and so on, but it is preferred to use the capping method [Kato, S. et al . , Gene 150: 243-250 (1994)] as illustrated in Examples in order to obtain a full- length clone in an effective manner.

The primary selection of a cDNA encoding a human protein having a secretory signal sequence is performed by the sequencing of a partial base sequence of the cDNA clone selected at random from the cDNA library, sequencing of the amino acid sequence encoded by the base sequence, and recognition of the presence or absence of hydrophobic site(s) in the resulting N-terminal amino acid sequence region. Next, the secondary selection is carried out by determination of the whole base sequence by the sequencing and the protein expression by the in vitro translation. The ascertainment of the cDNA of the present invention for encoding the protein having the secretory signal sequence is performed by using the signal sequence detection method fYokoya a-Kobayashi , M. et al., Gene 163: 193-196 (1995)]. In other words, the ascertainment for the coding portion of the inserted cDNA fragment to function as a signal sequence is provided by fusing a cDNA fragment encoding the N-terminus of the target protein with a cDNA encoding the protease domain of urokinase and then expressing the resulting cDNA in COS7 cells to detect the urokinase activity in the cell culture medium.

The cDNAs of the present invention are characterized by containing any of the base sequences represented by Sequence No. 10 to Sequence No. 18 or any of the base sequences represented by Sequence No. 19 to Sequence No. 27. Table 1 summarizes the clone number (HP number), the cells affording the cDNA, the total base number of the cDNA, and the number of the amino acid residues of the encoded protein, for each of the cDNAs .

Table 1

Hereupon, the same clone as any of the cDNAs of the present invention can be easily obtained by screening of the cDNA library constructed from the cell line or the human tissue employed in the present invention, by the use of an oligonucleotide probe synthesized on the basis of the corresponding cDNA base sequence depicted in Sequence No. 19 to Sequence No. 27.

In general, the polymorphism due to the individual difference is frequently observed in human genes. Therefore, any cDNA that is subjected to insertion or deletion of one or plural nucleotides and/or substitution with other nucleotides in Sequence No. 10 to Sequence No. 27 shall come within the scope of the present invention.

In a similar manner, any protein that is produced by these modifications comprising insertion or deletion of one or plural nucleotides and/or substitution with other nucleotides shall come within the scope of the present invention, as far as said protein possesses the activity of the corresponding protein having the amino acid sequence represented by Sequence No. 1 to Sequence No. 9.

The cDNAs of the present invention include cDNA fragments (more than 10 bp) containing any partial base sequence of the base sequence represented by Sequence No. 10 to No. 18 or of the base sequence represented by Sequence No. 19 to No. 27. For example, as illustrated in Examples, the portion encoding the secretory signal sequence can be employed as means to secrete an optionally selected protein outside the cells by fusing with a cDNA encoding another protein. Also, DNA fragments consisting of a sense chain and an anti-sense chain shall come within this scope. These DNA fragments can be used as the probes for the gene diagnosis.

BEST MODE FOR CARRING OUT INVENTION EXAMPLE

The present invention is embodied in more detail by the following examples, but this embodiment is not intended to restrict the present invention. The basic operations and the enzyme reactions with regard to the DNA recombination are carried out according to the literature ["Molecular Cloning. A Laboratory Manual", Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1989]. Unless otherwise stated, restrictive enzymes and a variety of modification enzymes to be used were those available from Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd. The manufacturer's instructions were used for the buffer compositions as well as for the reaction conditions, in each of the enzyme reactions. The cDNA synthesis was carried out according to the literature [Kato, S. et al., Gene 150: 243-250 (1994)].

(1) Preparation of Poly(A)⁺ RNA

The fibrosarcoma cell line HT-1080 (ATCC CCL 121), the epidermoid carcinoma cell line KB (ATCC CRL 17), the histiocyte ly phoma cell line U937 (ATCC CRL 1593) stimulated by phorbol esters, tissues of stomach cancer delivered by the operation, and liver were used for human cells to extract mRNAs. Each of the cell lines was cultured by a conventional procedure .

After about 1 g of human tissues was homogenized in 20 ml of a 5.5 M guanidinium thiocyanate solution, total mRNAs were prepared in accordance with the literature [Okayama, H. et al., "Methods in Enzymology" Vol. 164, Academic Press, 1987]. These mRNAs were subjected to chromatography using an oligo(dT) -cellulose column washed with 20 mM Tris- hydrochloric acid buffer solution (pH 7.6), 0.5 M NaCl , and 1 mM EDTA to obtain a poly(A) RNA in accordance with the above-mentioned literature . (2) Construction of cDNA Library

To a solution of 10 μg of the above-mentioned poly(A) RNA in 100 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer solution (pH 8) was added one unit of an RNase-free, bacterium-origin alkaline phosphatase and the resulting solution was allowed to react at 37 °C for one hour. After the reaction solution underwent the phenol extraction followed by the ethanol precipitation, the obtained pellets were dissolved in a mixed solution of 50 mM sodium acetate (pH 6), 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% 2-mercaptoethanol , and 0.01% Triton X-100. Thereto was added one unit of a tobacco-origin pyrophosphatase (Epicenter Technologies) and the resulting solution at a total volume of 100 μl was allowed to react at 37 °C for one hour. After the reaction solution underwent the phenol extraction followed by the ethanol precipitation, the thus-obtained pellets were dissolved in water to obtain a decapped poly(A) RNA solution.

To a solution of the decapped poly(A) RNA and 3 nmol of a DNA-RNA chimeric oligonucleotide ( 5 ' -dG-dG-dG-dG-dA-dA-dT- dT-dC-dG-dA-G-G-A-3' ) in a mixed aqueous solution of 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer solution (pH 7.5), 0.5 mM ATP, 5 mM MgCl , 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, and 25% polyethylene glycol were added 50 units of T4 RNA ligase and the resulting solution at a total volume of 30 μl was allowed to react at 20°C for 12 hours. After the reaction solution underwent the phenol extraction followed by the ethanol precipitation, the thus-obtained pellets were dissolved in water to obtain a chimeric oligo-capped poly(A) RNA. After the vector pKAl developed by the present inventors (Japanese Patent Kokai Publication No. 1992-117292) was digested with Kpnl, an about 60-dT tail was inserted by a terminal transferase. This product was digested with EcoRV to remove the dT tail at one side and the resulting molecule was used as a vectorial primer.

After 6 μg of the previously-prepared chimeric oligo- capped poly(A) RNA was annealed with 1.2 μg of the vectorial primer, the product was dissolved in a mixed solution of 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer solution (pH 8.3), 75 mM KCl, 3 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM dithiothreitol , and 1.25 mM dNTP (dATP + dCTP + dGTP + dTTP), mixed with 200 units of a reverse transferase (GIBCO-BRL) , and the resulting solution at a total volume of 20 μl was allowed to react at 42°C for one hour. After the reaction solution underwent the phenol extraction followed by the ethanol precipitation, the thus- obtained pellets were dissolved in a mixed solution of 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer solution (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl₂, and 1 mM dithiothreitol. Thereto were added 100 units of EcoRI and the resulting solution at a total volume of 20 μl was allowed to react at 37 °C for one hour. After the reaction solution underwent the phenol extraction followed by the ethanol precipitation, the obtained pellets were dissolved in a mixed solution of 20 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer solution (pH 7.5), 100 mM KCl, 4 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM (NH^)₂S0^, and 50 μg/ l bovine serum albumin. Thereto were added 60 units of Escherichia coli DNA ligase and the resulting solution was allowed to react at 16°C for 16 hours. To the reaction solution were added 2 μl of 2 mM dNTP, 4 units of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I, and 0.1 unit of Escherichia coli DNase H and the resulting solution was allowed to react at 12°C for one hour and then at 22°C for one hour.

Next, the cDNA-synthesis reaction solution was used to transform Escherichia coli DH12S (GIBCO-BRL) . The transformation was carried out by the electroporation method. A portion of the transformant was inoculated on a 2xYT agar culture medium containing 100 μg/ l ampicillin, which was incubated at 37 °C overnight. A colony grown on the culture medium was randomly picked up and inoculated on 2 ml of the 2xYT culture medium containing 100 μg/ml ampicillin, which was incubated at 37 °C overnight. The culture medium was centrifuged to separate the cells, from which a plasmid DNA was prepared by the alkaline lysis method. After the plasmid DNA was double-digested with EcoRI and Notl, the product was subjected to 0.8% agarose gel electrophoresis to determine the size of the cDNA insert. In addition, by the use of the obtained plasmid as a template, the sequence reaction using Ml3 universal primer labeled with a fluorescent dye and Taq polymerase (a kit of Applied Biosystems Inc.) was carried out and the product was analyzed by a fluorescent DNA-sequencer (Applied Biosystems Inc.) to determine the base sequence of the cDNA 5 '-terminal of about 400 bp. The sequence data were filed as a homo-protein cDNA bank data base.

( 3 ) Selection of cDNAs Encoding Proteins Having Secretory Signal Sequence

The base sequence registered in the homo-protein cDNA bank was converted to three frames of amino acid sequences and the presence or absence of an open reading frame (ORF) beginning from the initiation codon. Then, the selection was made for the presence of a signal sequence that is characteristic to a secretory protein at the N-terminal of the portion encoded by ORF . These clones were sequenced from the both 5 ' and 3 ' directions by using the deletion method to determine the whole base sequence. The hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity profiles were obtained for proteins encoded by ORF by the Kyte-Doolittle method [Kyte, J. & Doolittle, R. F., J. Mol . Bio. 157: 105-132 (1982)] to examine the presence or absence of a hydrophobic region. In the case in which there is not a hydrophobic region of putative transmembrane domain(s) in the amino acid sequence of an encoded protein, this protein was considered as a membrane protein that did not possess a secretory protein or transmembrane domain ( s ) .

(4) Construction of Secretory Signal Detection Vector pSSD3

One microgram of pSSDl carrying the SV40 promoter and a cDNA encoding the protease domain of urokinase [Yokoyama- Kobayashi, M. et al . , Gene 163: 193-196 (1995)] was digested with 5 units of Bglll and 5 units of EcoRV. Then, after dephosphorylation at the 5' terminal by the CIP treatment, a DNA fragment of about 4.2 kbp was purified by cutting off from the gel of agarose gel electrophoresis.

Two oligo DNA linkers, LI ( 5 ' -GATCCCGGGTCACGTGGGAT-3 ' ) and L2 (5'-ATCCCACGTGACCCGG-3' ) , were synthesized and phosphorylated by T4 polynucleotide kinase . After annealing of the both linkers, followed by ligation with the previously-prepared pSSDl fragment by T4 DNA ligase, Escherichia coli JM109 was transformed. A plasmid pSSD3 was prepared from the transformant and the objective recombinant was confirmed by the determination of the base sequence of the linker-inserted fragment. Figure 1 illustrates the structure of the thus-obtained plasmid. The present plasmid vector carries three types of blunt-end formation restriction enzyme sites, Smal, P aCI, and EcoRV. Since these cleavage sites are positioned in succession at an interval of 7 bp, selection of an appropriate site in combination of three types of frames for the inserting cDNA allows to construct a vector expressing a fusion protein.

(5) Functional Verification of Secretory Signal Sequence Whether the N-terminal hydrophobic region in the secretory protein clone candidate obtained in the above- mentioned steps functions as the secretory signal sequence was verified by the method described in the literature [Yokoyama-Kobayashi, M. et al . , Gene 163: 193-196 (1995)]. First, the plasmid containing the target cDNA was cleaved at an appropriate restriction enzyme site that existed at the downstream from the portion expected for encoding the secretory signal sequence. In the case in which this restriction enzyme site was a protruding 5 '-terminus, the site was blunt-ended by the Klenow treatment. Digestion with Hindlll was further carried out and a DNA fragment containing the SV40 promoter and a cDNA encoding the secretory sequence at the downstream from the promoter was separated by agarose gel electrophoresis . This fragment was inserted between the pSSD3 Hindlll site and a restriction enzyme site selected so as to match with the urokinase-coding frame, thereby constructing a vector expressing a fusion protein of the secretory signal portion of the target cDNA and the urokinase protease domain (refer to Figure 2).

After Escherichia coli (host: JM109) bearing the fusion- protein expression vector was incubated at 37 °C for 2 hours in 2 ml of the 2xYT culture medium containing 100 μg/ml ampicillin, the helper phage M13K07 (50 μl ) was added and the incubation was continued at 37°C overnight. A supernatant separated by centrifugation underwent precipitation with polyethylene glycol to obtain single-stranded phage particles. These particles were suspended in 100 μl of 1 mM Tris-0.1 mM EDTA, pH 8 (TE) . Also, there was used as a control a suspension of single-stranded particles prepared in the same manner from the vector pKAl-UPA containing pSSD3 and a full-length cDNA of urokinase [Yokoyama-Kobayashi, M. et al., Gene 163: 193-196 (1995)].

The simian-kidney-origin culture cells, C0S7, were incubated at 37 °C in the presence of 5% C0₂ in the Dulbecco's modified Eagle's culture medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal calf albumin. Into a 6-well plate (Nunc Inc., 3 cm in the well diameter) were inoculated 1 x 10 COS7 cells and incubation was carried out at 37 °C for 22 hours in the presence of 5% C0₂ • After the culture medium was removed, the cell surface was washed with a phosphate buffer solution and then washed again with DMEM containing 50 mM Tris- hydrochloric acid (pH 7.5) (TDMEM) . To the cells were added 1 μl of the single-stranded phage suspension, 0.6 ml of the TM

DMEM culture medium, and 3 μl of TRANSFECTAM (IBF Inc.) and the resulting mixture was incubated at 37 °C for 3 hours in the presence of 5% C0₂. After the sample solution was removed, the cell surface was washed with TDMEM, 2 ml per well of DMEM containing 10% fetal calf albumin was added, and the incubation was carried out at 37 °C for 2 days in the presence of 5% C0₂ •

To 10 ml of 50 mM phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4) containing 2% bovine fibrinogen (Miles Inc.), 0.5% agarose, and 1 mM potassium chloride were added 10 units of human thrombin (Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) and the resulting mixture was solidified in a plate of 9 cm in diameter to prepare a fibrin plate. Ten icroliters of the culture supernatant of the transfected COS7 cells were spotted on the fibrin plate, which was incubated at 37 °C for 15 hours. The diameter of the thus-obtained clear circle was taken as an index for the urokinase activity. Table 2 shows the restriction enzyme site used for cutting off the cDNA fragment from each clone, the restriction enzyme site used for cleavage of pSSD3, and the presence or absence of a clear circle. Except for pSSD3 used as the control, each of the samples formed a clear circle to identify that urokinase was secreted in the culture medium. That is to say, it is indicated that each of the cDNA fragments codes for the amino acid sequence that functions as the secretory signal sequence . Table 2

followed by the Klenow treatment.

(6) Protein Synthesis by In Vitro Translation The plasmid vector carrying the cDNA of the present invention was utilized for the in vitro transcription/translation by the T_NT rabbit reticulocyte lysate kit (Promega Biotec). In this case, [ 35S]methionine was added and the expression product was labeled with the radioisotope. All reactions were carried out by following the protocols attached to the kit. Two micrograms of the plasmid was allowed to react at 30°C for 90 minutes in total 25 ml of a reaction solution containing 12.5 μl of the T_NT rabbit reticulocyte lysate, 0.5 μl of the buffer solution (attached to the kit), 2 μl of an amino acid mixture (methionine-free) , 2 μl (0.37 MBq/μl) of [ 35S]methionine (Amersha Corporation),

0.5 μl of T7 RNA polymerase, and 20 U of RNasin. Also, the experiment in the presence of the membrane system was carried out by adding 2.5 μl of the dog pancreatic microsome fraction

(Promega Biotec) into this reaction system. To 3 μl of the reaction solution was added 2 μl of an SDS sampling buffer

(125 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer solution, pH 6.8, 120 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 2% SDS solution, 0.025% bromophenol blue, and 20% glycerol) and the resulting solution was heated at 95 °C for 3 minutes and then subjected to SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the translation product was determined by carrying out the autoradiography. Table 3 shows the molecular weight of the in vitro translation product obtained from each of the clones in the presence/absence of the membrane microsome together with the calculated value of the molecular weight of the protein encoded by ORF of the cDNA.

( 7 ) Clone Examples

<HP00658> (Sequence Number 1, 10, 19)

Determination of the whole base sequence for the cDNA insert of clone HP00658 obtained from the human fibrosarcoma cell line HT-1080 cDNA libraries revealed the structure consisting of a 5 '-non-translation region of 55 bp, an ORF of 465 bp, and a 3 ' -non-translation region of 776 bp. The ORF codes for a protein consisting of 154 amino acid residues with a hydrophobic region of a putative secretory signal sequence at the N-terminal. Figure 3 depicts the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity profile of the present protein obtained by the Kyte-Doolittle method. Search of the protein data base using the amino acid sequence encoded by the ORF revealed that the N-terminal 63 amino acid residues thereof were completely identical with those in the RANTES protein (EMBL Accession No. 21121) except for one amino acid residue at position 7 (arginine in RANTES and alanine in the present protein), but the sequences in both proteins were completely different after position 64. Hereupon, RANTES consisted of 91 amino acid residues, whereas the present protein consisted of longer 154 amino acid residues. The in vitro translation resulted in the formation of a translation product of 18 kDa that was almost consistent with the molecular weight of 17,037 predicted from the ORF. In this case, the addition of the microsome resulted in the formation of a 16-kDa product in which the secretory signal sequence portion was putatively removed by cleavage. This result together with the result on pSSD3 verifies that the present protein possesses the secretory signal sequence. Application of the (-3,-1) rule, a method for predicting the signal sequence cleavage site [von Heijne, G., Nucl . Acid Res. 14: 4683-4690 (1986)], allows to expect that the maturation protein starts from serine at position 24.

Comparison of the base sequences for the both proteins revealed that the base sequence from position 2 to position 325 in the present cDNA was deficient in the RANTES cDNA. It is considered that this deficiency resulted in induction of a frame shift to form an ORF of a different size. Some mutations were observed in other regions , wherein the homology was 97.7% up to position 241 and was 98.0% after position 325. RANTES has been obtained as a T cell-specific protein [Schall, T. J. et al . , J. Immunol. 141: 1018-1025 (1988)], whereas the present cDNA was obtained from the fibrosarcoma cells. Accordingly, the present protein is considered to possess a different function from that of RANTES.

Furthermore, the search of GenBank using the base sequence of the present cDNA revealed that any EST possessing the homology of 90% or more was not found.

<HP00714> (Sequence Number 2, 11, 20)

Determination of the whole base sequence for the cDNA insert of clone HP00714 obtained from the human epidermoid carcinoma cell line KB cDNA libraries revealed the structure consisting of a 5 ' -non-translation region of 56 bp, an ORF of 948 bp, and a 3 ' -non-translation region of 2310 bp. The ORF codes for a protein consisting of 315 amino acid residues with a hydrophobic region of a putative secretory signal sequence at the N-terminal . Figure 4 depicts the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity profile of the present protein obtained by the Kyte-Doolittle method. The in vitro translation resulted in the formation of a translation product of 47 kDa that was somewhat larger than the molecular weight of 37,106 predicted from the ORF. Since the molecular weight of the human reticulocalbin analogous to the present protein is also larger by about 10 kDa than the molecular weight expected from the translation-product band on SDS-PAGE [Ozawa, M., J. Biochem. 117: 1113-1119 (1995)], the molecular weight difference in the present protein is considered to be arisen from its physicochemical properties. Application of the (-3,-1) rule, a method for predicting the signal sequence cleavage site, allows to expect that the maturation protein starts from lysine at position 20. There is a possibility that the present protein exists in the endoplasmic reticulum because this protein possesses the C-terminal sequence HDEF analogous to KDEL, the signal motif sequence localized in the endoplasmic reticulum.

The search of the protein data base using the amino acid sequence of the present protein revealed that the protein was analogous to the human reticulocalbin (GenBank Accession No. D42073). Table 4 indicates the comparison of the amino acid sequences between the human protein of the present invention (HP) and the human reticulocalbin (RC) . - represents a gap, * represents an amino acid residue identical to that in the protein of the present invention, and . represents an amino acid residue analogous to that in the protein of the present invention. The both proteins possessed a homology of 60.5%.

Furthermore, the search of GenBank using the base sequence of the present cDNA revealed that there existed some ESTs possessing the homology of 90% or more and containing the initiation codon (for example, Accession No. F3872), but any of the sequences thereof did not allow to predict the present protein.

Reticulocalbin is a protein localized on the membrane surface of the endoplasmic reticulum and has been considered to participate in the protein folding. Accordingly, the protein of the present invention is considered to be applicable to the folding process of recombinant proteins.

<HP00876> (Sequence Number 3, 12, 21)

Determination of the whole base sequence for the cDNA insert of clone HP0876 obtained from the human stomach cancer cDNA libraries revealed the structure consisting of a 5 '-non- translation region of 146 bp, an ORF of 477 bp, and a 3 ' -non- translation region of 529 bp. The ORF codes for a protein consisting of 158 amino acid residues with a hydrophobic region of a putative secretory signal sequence at the N- terminal. Figure 5 depicts the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity profile of the present protein obtained by the Kyte-Doolittle method. The in vitro translation resulted in the formation of a translation product of 18 kDa that was almost consistent with the molecular weight of 18,230 predicted from the ORF. In this case, the addition of the microsome resulted in the formation of a 16-kDa product in which the secretory signal sequence portion was putatively removed by cleavage. This result together with the result on pSSD3 verifies that the present protein possesses the secretory signal. Application of the (-3,-1) rule, a method for predicting the signal sequence cleavage site, allows to expect that the maturation protein starts from glycine at position 18 or aspartic acid at position 23.

The search of the protein data base using the amino acid sequence of the present protein revealed that the protein was analogous to several type-C lectins . As an example, Table 5 indicates the comparison of the amino acid sequences between the human protein of the present invention (HP) and the rattlesnake lectin (CL) (Swiss-PROT Accession No. P21963). - represents a gap, * represents an amino acid residue identical to that in the protein of the present invention, and . represents an amino acid residue analogous to that in the protein of the present invention.

After 1 μg of the plasmid pHP00876 was digested with 20 units of PvuII , the product was subjected to 1% agarose gel electrophoresis and an about 700-bp DNA fragment was cut off from the gel . Next , 1 μg of pET-21a (Novagen ) was digested with 20 units of Nhel , the product was subjected to the Klenow treatment followed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis and an about 5.4-kbp DNA fragment was cut off from the gel . After ligation of the vector fragment and the cDNA fragment using a ligation kit , Escherichia coli BL21 ( DE3 ) ( Novagen ) was transformed . A plasmid pET876 was prepared from the transfor ant and the objective recombinant was confirmed from the restriction enzyme cleavage map . The present expression vector expresses a protein in which methionine-alanine was inserted before a protein starting from serine at position 29 in the protein encoded by the clone HP00876.

A suspension of pET876/BL21 (DE3) in 5 ml of the LB culture medium containing 100 μg/ml ampicillin was incubated in a shaker at 37 °C and isopropylthiogalactoside was added to make 1 mM when A₆₀₀ reached to about 0.5. After the incubation was continued at 37 °C for 6 hours, cells were collected by centrifugation and suspended in 25 ml of a column buffer solution for the amylose column (10 mM Tris- hydrochloric acid, pH 7.4, 200 mM NaCl, and 1 mM EDTA). The resulting suspension was sonicated and then the insoluble fraction was subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis to identify a band originating from the expression of the present vector at a position of about 14 kDa.

The ORF codes for a protein consisting of 376 amino acid residues with a hydrophobic region of a putative secretory signal sequence at the N- terminal. Figure 6 depicts the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity profile of the present protein obtained by the Kyte-Doolittle method. The in vitro translation resulted in the formation of a translation product of 42 kDa that was almost consistent with the molecular weight of 42,947 predicted from the ORF. In this case, the addition of the microsome resulted in the formation of a 49-kDa product in which a sugar chain was putatively added by N-glycosylation after the secretion. Hereupon, there exist in the amino acid sequence of this protein four possible N-glycosylation sites (Asn-Gly-Thr at position 91, Asn-Glu-Thr at position 167, Asn-Thr-Ser at position 263, and Asn-Lys-Thr at position 272). The above result together with the result on pSSD3 verifies that the present protein possesses the secretory signal. Application of the (-3,-1) rule, a method for predicting the signal sequence cleavage site, allows to expect that the maturation protein starts from alanine at position 17 or valine at position 18.

The present invention provides human proteins having secretory signal sequences and cDNAs encoding said proteins. All of the proteins of the present invention are putative proteins controlling the proliferation and differentiation of the cells, because said proteins are secreted outside the cells and exist in the extracellular liquid or on the cell membrane surface. Therefore, the proteins of the present invention can be used as pharmaceuticals or as antigens for preparing antibodies against said proteins. Furthermore, said DNAs can be used for the expression of large amounts of said proteins .

In addition to the activities and uses described above, the polynucleotides and proteins of the present invention may exhibit one or more of the uses or biological activities (including those associated with assays cited herein) identified below. Uses or activities described for proteins of the present invention may be provided by administration or use of such proteins or by administration or use of polynucleotides encoding such proteins (such as, for example, in gene therapies or vectors suitable for introduction of DNA) .

Research Uses and Utilities

The polynucleotides provided by the present invention can be used by the research community for various purposes . The polynucleotides can be used to express recombinant protein for analysis, characterization or therapeutic use; as markers for tissues in which the corresponding protein is preferentially expressed (either constitutively or at a particular stage of tissue differentiation or development or in disease states); as molecular weight markers on Southern gels; as chromosome markers or tags (when labeled) to identify chromosomes or to map related gene positions; to compare with endogenous DNA sequences in patients to identify potential genetic disorders; as probes to hybridize and thus discover novel, related DNA sequences; as a source of information to derive PCR primers for genetic fingerprinting; as a probe to "subtract-out" known sequences in the process of discovering other novel polynucleotides; for selecting and making oligomers for attachment to a "gene chip" or other support, including for examination of expression patterns; to raise anti-protein antibodiesusing DNA immunization techniques; and as an antigen to raise anti-DNA antibodies or elicit another immune response. Where the polynucleotide encodes a protein which binds or potentially binds to another protein (such as, for example, in a receptor-ligand interaction), the polynucleotide can also be used in interaction trap assays (such as, for example, that described in Gyuris et al . , Cell 75:791-803 (1993)) to identify polynucleotides encoding the other protein with which binding occurs or to identify inhibitors of the binding interaction. The proteins provided by the present invention can similarly be used in assay to determine biological activity, including in a panel of multiple proteins for high-throughput screening; to raise antibodies or to elicit another immune response; as a reagent (including the labeled reagent) in assays designed to quantitatively determine levels of the protein (or its receptor) in biological fluids; as markers for tissues in which the corresponding protein is preferentially expressed (either constitutively or at a particular stage of tissue differentiation or development or in a disease state); and, of course, to isolate correlative receptors or ligands. Where the protein binds or potentially binds to another protein (such as, for example, in a receptor-ligand interaction), the protein can be used to identify the other protein with which binding occurs or to identify inhibitors of the binding interaction. Proteins involved in these binding interactions can also be used to screen for peptide or small molecule inhibitors or agonists of the binding interaction.

Any or all of these research utilities are capable of being developed into reagent grade or kit format for commercialization as research products.

Immune Stimulating or Suppressing Activity A protein of the present invention may also exhibit immune stimulating or immune suppressing activity, including without limitation the activities for which assays are described herein. A protein may be useful in the treatment of various immune deficiencies and disorders (including severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)), e.g., in regulating (up or down) growth and proliferation of T and/or B lymphocytes, as well as effecting the cytolytic activity of NK cells and other cell populations. These immune deficiencies may be genetic or be caused by viral (e.g., HIV) as well as bacterial orfungal infections, or may result from autoimmune disorders. More specifically, infectious diseases causes by viral, bacterial, fungal or other infection may be treatable using a protein of the present invention, including infections by HIV, hepatitis viruses, herpesviruses , mycobacteria, Leishmania spp . , malaria spp . and various fungal infections such as candidiasis . Of course, in this regard, a protein of the present invention may also be useful where a boost to the immune system generally may be desirable, i.e., in the treatment of cancer.

Autoimmune disorders which may be treated using a protein of the present invention include, for example, connective tissue disease, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune pulmonary inflammation, Guillain-Barre syndrome, autoimmune thyroiditis, insulin dependent diabetes mellitis, myasthenia gravis, graft-versus-host disease and autoimmune inflammatory eye disease. Such a protein of the present invention may also to be useful in the treatment of allergic reactions and conditions, such as asthma (particularly allergic asthma) or other respiratory problems. Other conditions, in which immune suppression is desired (including, for example, organ transplantation), may also be treatable using a protein of the present invention .

Using the proteins of the invention it may also be possible to immune responses, in a number of ways. Down regulation may be in the form of inhibiting or blocking an immune response already in progress or may involve preventing the induction of an immune response. The functions of activated T cells may be inhibited by suppressing T cell responses or by inducing specific tolerance in T cells, or both. Immunosuppression of T cell responses is generally an active, non-antigen-specific, process which requires continuous exposure of the T cells to the suppressive agent. Tolerance, which involves inducing non-responsiveness or anergy in T cells, is distinguishable from immunosuppression in that it is generally antigen-specific and persists after exposure to the tolerizing agent has ceased. Operationally, tolerance can be demonstrated by the lack of a T cell response upon reexposure to specific antigen in the absence of the tolerizing agent.

Down regulating or preventing one or more antigen functions (including without limitation B lymphocyte antigen functions (such as , for example, B7 ) ) , e.g., preventing high level lymphokine synthesis by activated T cells, will be useful in situations of tissue, skin and organ transplantation and in graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). For example, blockage of T cell function should result in reduced tissue destruction in tissue transplantation. Typically, in tissue transplants, rejection of the transplant is initiated through its recognition as foreign by T cells, followed by an immune reaction that destroys the transplant . The administration of a molecule which inhibits or blocks interaction of a B7 lymphocyte antigen with its natural ligand(s) on immune cells (such as a soluble, monomeric form of a peptide having B7-2 activity alone or in conjunction with a monomeric form of a peptide having an activity of another B lymphocyte antigen (e.g., B7-1, B7-3) or blocking antibody), prior to transplantation can lead to the binding of the molecule to the natural ligand(s) on the immune cells without transmitting the corresponding costimulatory signal. Blocking B lymphocyte antigen function in this matter prevents cytokine synthesis by immune cells, such as T cells, and thus acts as an immunosuppressant . Moreover, the lack of costimulation may also be sufficient to anergize the T cells, thereby inducing tolerance in a subject. Induction of long-term tolerance by B lymphocyte antigen-blocking reagents may avoid the necessity of repeated administration of these blocking reagents. To achieve sufficient immunosuppression or tolerance in a subject, it may also be necessary to block the function of a combination of B lymphocyte antigens .

The efficacy of particular blocking reagents in preventing organ transplant rejection or GVHD can be assessed using animal models that are predictive of efficacy in humans. Examples of appropriate systems which can be used include allogeneic cardiac grafts in rats and xenogeneic pancreatic islet cell grafts in mice, both of which have been used to examine the immunosuppressive effects of CTLA4Ig fusion proteins in vivo as described in Lenschow et al., Science 257:789-792 (1992) and Turka et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA, 89:11102-11105 (1992). In addition, murine models of GVHD (see Paul ed., Fundamental Immunology, Raven Press, New York, 1989, pp. 846-847) can be used to determine the effect of blocking B lymphocyte antigen function in vivo on the development of that disease.

Blocking antigen function may also be therapeutically useful for treating autoimmune diseases . Many autoimmune disorders are the result of inappropriate activation of T cells that are reactive against self tissue and which promote the production of cytokines and autoantibodies involved in the pathology of the diseases . Preventing the activation of autoreactive T cells may reduce or eliminate disease symptoms. Administration of reagents which block costimulation of T cells by disrupting receptor : ligand interactions of B lymphocyte antigens can be used to inhibit T cell activation and prevent production of autoantibodies or T cell-derived cytokines which may be involved in the disease process. Additionally, blocking reagents may induce antigen-specific tolerance of autoreactive T cells which could lead to long-term relief from the disease. The efficacy of blocking reagents in preventing or alleviating autoimmune disorders can be determined using a number of well-characterized animal models of human autoimmune diseases. Examples include murine experimental autoimmune encephalitis, systemic lupus erythmatosis in MRL/lpr/lpr mice or NZB hybrid mice, murine autoimmune collagen arthritis, diabetes mellitus in NOD mice and BB rats, and murine experimental myasthenia gravis (see Paul ed., Fundamental Immunology, Raven Press, New York, 1989, pp. 840-856).

Upregulation of an antigen function (preferably a B lymphocyte antigen function), as a means of up regulating immune responses, may also be useful in therapy. Upregulation of immune responses may be in the form of enhancing an existing immune response or eliciting an initial immune response. For example, enhancing an immune response through stimulating B lymphocyte antigen function may be useful in cases of viral infection. In addition, systemic viral diseases such as influenza, the commoncold, and encephalitis might be alleviated by the administration of stimulatory forms of B lymphocyte antigens systemically.

Alternatively, anti-viral immune responses may be enhanced in an infected patient by removing T cells from the patient, costimulating the T cells in vitro with viral antigen-pulsed APCs either expressing a peptide of the present invention or together with a stimulatory form of a soluble peptide of the present invention and reintroducing the in vitro activated T cells into the patient. Another method of enhancing anti-viral immune responses would be to isolate infected cells from a patient, transfect them with a nucleic acid encoding a protein of the present invention as described herein such that the cells express all or a portion of the protein on their surface, and reintroduce the transfected cells into the patient. The infected cells would now be capable of delivering a costimulatory signal to, and thereby activate, T cells in vivo.

In another application, up regulation or enhancement of antigen function (preferably B lymphocyte antigen function) may be useful in the induction of tumor immunity. Tumor cells (e.g., sarcoma, melanoma, lymphoma, leukemia, neuroblastoma, carcinoma) transfected with a nucleic acid encoding at least one peptide of the present invention can be administered to a subject to overcome tumor-specific tolerance in the subject. If desired, the tumor cell can be transfected to express a combination of peptides. For example, tumor cells obtained from a patient can be transfected ex vivo with an expression vector directing the expression of a peptide having B7-2-like activity alone, or in conjunction with a peptide having B7-l-like activity and/or B7-3-like activity. The transfected tumor cells are returned to the patient to result in expression of the peptides on the surface of the transfected cell. Alternatively, gene therapy techniques can be used to target a tumor cell for transfection in vivo.

The presence of the peptide of the present invention having the activity of a B lymphocyte antigen(s) on the surface of the tumor cell provides the necessary costimulation signal to T cells to induce a T cell mediated immune response against the transfected tumor cells. In addition, tumor cells which lack MHC class I or MHC class II molecules, or which fail to reexpress sufficient amounts of MHC class I or MHC class II molecules, can be transfected with nucleic acid encoding all or a portion of (e.g., a cytoplasmic-domain truncated portion) of an MHC class I chain protein and β₂ microglobulin protein or an MHC class

Il chain protein and an MHC class Ilβ chain protein to thereby express MHC class I or MHC class II proteins on the cell surface. Expression of the appropriate class I or class II MHC in conjunction with a peptide having the activity of a B lymphocyte antigen (e.g., B7-1, B7-2, B7-3) induces a T cell mediated immune response against the transfected tumor cell. Optionally, a gene encoding an antisense construct which blocks expression of an MHC class II associated protein, such as the invariant chain, can also be cotransfected with a DNA encoding a peptide having the activity of a B lymphocyte antigen to promote presentation of tumor associated antigens and induce tumor specific immunity. Thus, the induction of a T cell mediated immune response in a human subject may be sufficient to overcome tumor-specific tolerance in the subject.

Hematopoiesis Regulating Activity

A protein of the present invention may be useful in regulation of hematopoiesis and, consequently, in the treatment of myeloid or lymphoid cell deficiencies. Even marginal biological activity in support of colony forming cells or of factor-dependent cell lines indicates involvement in regulating hematopoiesis, e.g. in supporting the growth and proliferation of erythroid progenitor cells alone or in combination with other cytokines, thereby indicating utility, for example, in treating various anemias or for use in conjunction with irradiation/chemotherapy to stimulate the production of erythroid precursors and/or erythroid cells; in supporting the growth and proliferation of myeloid cells such as granulocytes and onocytes/macrophages (i.e., traditional CSF activity) useful, for example, in conjunction with chemotherapy to prevent or treat consequent myelo-suppression; in supporting the growth and proliferation of megakaryocytes and consequently of platelets thereby allowing prevention or treatment of various platelet disorders such as thrombocytopenia, and generally for use in place of or complimentary to platelet transfusions; and/or in supporting the growth and proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells which are capable of maturing to any and all of the above-mentioned hematopoietic cells and therefore find therapeutic utility in various stem cell disorders (such as those usually treated with transplantation, including, without limitation, aplastic anemia and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria) , as well as in repopulating the stem cell compartment post irradiation/chemotherapy, either in-vivo or ex-vivo (i.e., in conjunction with bone marrow transplantation or with peripheral progenitor cell transplantation (homologous or heterologous ) ) as normal cells or genetically manipulated for gene therapy.

A protein of the present invention also may have utility in compositions used for bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament and/or nerve tissue growth or regeneration, as well as for wound healing and tissue repair and replacement, and in the treatment of burns, incisions and ulcers.

A protein of the present invention, which induces cartilage and/or bone growth in circumstances where bone is not normally formed, has application in the healing of bone fractures and cartilage damage or defects in humans and other animals . Such a preparation employing a protein of the invention may have prophylactic use in closed as well as open fracture reduction and also in the improved fixation of artificial joints. De novo bone formation induced by an osteogenic agent contributes to the repair of congenital, trauma induced, or oncologic resection induced craniofacial defects, and also is useful in cosmetic plastic surgery.

Such agents may provide an environment to attract bone-forming cells, stimulate growth of bone-forming cells or induce differentiation of progenitors of bone-forming cells. A protein of the invention may also be useful in the treatment of osteoporosis or osteoarthritis, such as through stimulation of bone and/or cartilage repair or by blocking inflammation or processes of tissue destruction (collagenase activity, osteoclast activity, etc. ) mediated by inflammatory processes .

Another category of tissue regeneration activity that may be attributable to the protein of the present invention is tendon/ligament formation. A protein of the present invention, which induces tendon/ligament-like tissue or other tissue formation in circumstances where such tissue is not normally formed, has application in the healing of tendon or ligament tears, deformities and other tendon or ligament defects in humans and other animals. Such a preparation employing a tendon/ligament-like tissue inducing protein may have prophylactic use in preventing damage to tendon or ligament tissue, as well as use in the improved fixation of tendon or ligament to bone or other tissues, and in repairing defects to tendon or ligament tissue. De novo tendon/ligament-like tissue formation induced by a composition of the present invention contributes to the repair of congenital, trauma induced, or other tendon or ligament defects of other origin, and is also useful in cosmetic plastic surgery for attachment or repair of tendons or ligaments. The compositions of the present invention may provide an environment to attract tendon- or ligament-forming cells, stimulate growth of tendon- or ligament-forming cells, induce differentiation of progenitors of tendon- or ligament-forming cells, or induce growth of tendon/ligament cells or progenitors ex vivo for return in vivo to effect tissue repair. The compositions of the invention may also be useful in the treatment of tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other tendon or ligament defects. The compositions may also include an appropriate matrix and/or sequestering agent as a carrier as is well known in the art.

The protein of the present invention may also be useful for proliferation of neural cells and for regeneration of nerve and brain tissue, i.e. for the treatment of central and peripheral nervous system diseases and neuropathies, as well as mechanical and traumatic disorders, which involve degeneration, death or trauma to neural cells or nerve tissue. More specifically, a protein may be used in the treatment of diseases of the peripheral nervous system, such as peripheral nerve injuries, peripheral neuropathy and localized neuropathies, and central nervous system diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Shy-Drager syndrome. Further conditions which may be treated in accordance with the present invention include mechanical and traumatic disorders, such as spinal cord disorders, head trauma and cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke. Peripheral neuropathies resulting from chemotherapy or other medical therapies may also be treatable using a protein of the invention.

Proteins of the invention may also be useful to promote better or faster closure of non-healing wounds, including without limitation pressure ulcers, ulcers associated with vascular insufficiency, surgical and traumatic wounds, and the like.

It is expected that a protein of the present invention may also exhibit activity for generation or regeneration of other tissues, such as organs (including, for example, pancreas, liver, intestine, kidney, skin, endothelium) , muscle (smooth, skeletal or cardiac) and vascular (including vascular endothelium) tissue, or for promoting the growth of cells comprising such tissues. Part of the desired effects may be by inhibition or modulation of fibrotic scarring to allow normal tissue to regenerate. A protein of the invention may also exhibit angiogenic activity.

A protein of the present invention may also be useful for gut protection or regeneration and treatment of lung or liver fibrosis, reperfusion injury in various tissues, and conditions resulting from systemic cytokine damage.

Activin/Inhibin Activity

A protein of the present invention may also exhibit activin- or inhibin-related activities. Inhibins are characterized by their ability to inhibit the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), while activins and are characterized by their ability to stimulate the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Thus, a protein of the present invention, alone or in heterodimers with a member of the inhibin family, may be useful as a contraceptive based on the ability of inhibins to decrease fertility in female mammals and decrease spermatogenesis in male mammals. Administration of sufficient amounts of other inhibins can induce infertility in these mammals. Alternatively, the protein of the invention, as a homodimer or as a heterodimer with other protein subunits of the inhibin-β group, may be useful as a fertility inducing therapeutic, based upon the ability of activin molecules in stimulating FSH release from cells of the anterior pituitary. See, for example. United States Patent 4,798,885. A protein of the invention may also be useful for advancement of the onset of fertility in sexually immature mammals, so as to increase the lifetime reproductive performance of domestic animals such as cows, sheep and pigs .

Assays for activin/inhibin activity include, without limitation, those described in: Vale et al . , Endocrinology 91:562-572, 1972; Ling et al., Nature 321:779-782, 1986; Vale et al., Nature 321:776-779, 1986; Mason et al., Nature 318:659-663, 1985; Forage et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:3091-3095, 1986.

Chemotactic/Chemokinetic Activity

A protein of the present invention may have chemotactic or chemokinetic activity (e.g., act as a chemokine) for mammalian cells, including, for example, monocytes, fibroblasts, neutrophils, T-cells, mast cells, eosinophils, epithelial and/or endothelial cells. Chemotactic and chemokinetic proteins can be used to mobilize or attract a desired cell population to a desired site of action. Chemotactic or chemokinetic proteins provide particular advantages in treatment of wounds and other trauma to tissues, as well as in treatment of localized infections. For example, attraction of lymphocytes, monocytes or neutrophils to tumors or sites of infection may result in improved immune responses against the tumor or infecting agent.

A protein or peptide has chemotactic activity for a particular cell population if it can stimulate, directly or indirectly, the directed orientation or movement of such cell population. Preferably, the protein or peptide has the ability to directly stimulate directed movement of cells. Whether a particular protein has chemotactic activity for a population of cells can be readily determined by employing such protein or peptide in any known assay for cell che otaxis .

Assays for chemotactic activity (which will identify proteins that induce or prevent chemotaxis ) consist of assays that measure the ability of a protein to induce the migration of cells across a membrane as well as the ability of a protein to induce the adhesion of one cell population to another cell population. Suitable assays for movement and adhesion include, without limitation, those described in: Current Protocols in Immunology, Ed by J.E. Coligan, A.M. Kruisbeek, D.H. Margulies, E.M. Shevach, W. Strober, Pub. Greene Publishing Associates and Wiley-Interscience (Chapter 6.12, Measurement of alpha and beta Chemokines 6.12.1-6.12.28; Taub et al . J. Clin. Invest. 95:1370-1376, 1995; Lind et al.

Hemostatic and Thrombolytic Activity

A protein of the invention may also exhibit hemostatic or thrombolytic activity. As a result, such a protein is expected to be useful in treatment of various coagulation disorders (includinghereditary disorders, such as hemophilias) or to enhance coagulation and other hemostatic events in treating wounds resulting from trauma, surgery or other causes. A protein of the invention may also be useful for dissolving or inhibiting formation of thromboses and for treatment and prevention of conditions resulting therefrom (such as, for example, infarction of cardiac and central nervous system vessels (e.g., stroke).

Examples of such receptors and ligands include, without limitation, cytokine receptors and their ligands, receptor kinases and their ligands, receptor phosphatases and their ligands, receptors involved in cell-cell interactions and their ligands (including without limitation, cellular adhesion molecules (such as selectins, integrins and their ligands) and receptor/ligand pairs involved in antigen presentation, antigen recognition and development of cellular and humoral immune responses). Receptors and ligands are also useful for screening of potential peptide or small molecule inhibitors of the relevant receptor/ligand interaction. A protein of the present invention (including, without limitation, fragments of receptors and ligands ) may themselves be useful as inhibitors of receptor/ligand interactions.

Stitt et al . , Cell 80:661-670, 1995.

Anti-Inflammatory Activity

Proteins of the present invention may also exhibit anti-inflammatory activity. The anti-inflammatory activity may be achieved by providing a stimulus to cells involved in the inflammatory response, by inhibiting or promoting cell-cell interactions (such as, for example, cell adhesion), by inhibiting or promoting chemotaxis of cells involved in the inflammatory process, inhibiting or promoting cell extravasation, or by stimulating or suppressing production of other factors which more directly inhibit or promote an inflammatory response. Proteins exhibiting such activities can be used to treat inflammatory conditions including chronic or acute conditions), including without limitation inflammation associated with infection (such as septic shock, sepsis or systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)), ischemia-reperfusion injury, endotoxin lethality, arthritis, complement-mediated hyperacute rejection, nephritis, cytokine or chemokine-induced lung injury, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease or resulting from over production of ytokines such as TNF or IL-1.

In addition to the activities described above for immunological treatment or prevention of tumors, a protein of the invention may exhibit other anti-tumor activities. A protein may inhibit tumor growth directly or indirectly (such as, for example, via ADCC). A protein may exhibit its tumor inhibitory activity by acting on tumor tissue or tumor precursor tissue, by inhibiting formation of tissues necessary to support tumor growth (such as, for example, by inhibiting angiogenesis ) , by causing production of other factors, agents or cell types which inhibit tumor growth, or by suppressing, eliminating or inhibiting factors, agents or cell types which promote tumor growth
