    摘要: T cell receptors (TCRS) that have higher affinity for a ligand than wild type TCRs are provided. These high affinity TCRs are formed by mutagenizing a T cell receptor protein coding sequence to generate a variegated population of mutants of the T cell receptor protein coding sequence; transforming the T cell receptor mutant coding sequence into yeast cells; inducing expression of the T cell receptor mutant coding sequence on the surface of yeast cells; and selecting those cells expressing T cell receptor mutants that have higher affinity for the peptide/MHC ligand than the wild type T cell receptor protein. The high affinity TCRs can be used in place of an antibody or single chain antibody.

    摘要: The present invention is based, in part, on our discovery that EGF can be engineered to generate mutants that bind to the EGF receptor (EGFR) of a cell and that have a desirable effect on the activity of the cell. For example, the mutants can agonize the receptor (i.e., increase a biological activity of the receptor), or antagonize the receptor (i.e., decrease or inhibit a biological activity of the receptor). In turn, the rate at which the cell proliferates, for example, can be changed. Moreover, some of these mutants bind EGFR with a higher affinity than wild-type EGF exhibits. The affinity may increase by about, for example, 2-, 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, 25-, 30-, 50-, or 100-fold relative to wild-type EGF.

    摘要翻译: 本发明部分基于我们的发现,EGF可以被工程化以产生结合细胞的EGF受体(EGFR)的突变体,并且对细胞的活性具有期望的影响。 例如,突变体可以激动受体(即,增加受体的生物活性)或拮抗受体(即降低或抑制受体的生物活性)。 反过来,细胞增殖的速度例如可以改变。 此外,这些突变体中的一些以比野生型EGF显示更高的亲和力结合EGFR。 相对于野生型EGF,亲和力可以增加约例如2-,5-,10-,15-,20-,25-,30-,50-或100倍。

    摘要: The present invention provides a genetic method for tethering polypeptides to the yeast cell wall in a form accessible for binding to macromolecules. Combining this method with fluorescence-activated cell sorting provides a means of selecting proteins with increased or decreased affinity for another molecule, altered specificity, or conditional binding. Also provided is a method for genetic fusion of the N terminus of a polypeptide of interest to the C-terminus of the yeast Aga2p cell wall protein. The outer wall of each yeast cell can display approximately 104 protein agglutinins. The native agglutinins serve as specific adhesion contacts to fuse yeast cells of opposite mating type during mating. In effect, yeast has evolved a platform for protein-protein binding without steric hindrance from cell wall components. As one embodiment, attaching an scFv antibody fragment to the Aga2p agglutinin effectively mimics the cell surface display of antibodies by B cells in the immune system for affinity maturation in vivo. As another embodiment, T cell receptor mutants can be isolated by this method that are efficiently displayed on the yeast cell surface, providing a means of altering T cell receptor binding affinity and specificity by library screening.

    摘要: The present invention features, inter alia, compositions and methods for the treatment of cancer and infectious disease. The compositions include engineered proteins that specifically bind a metal chelate and may be bispecific. For example, the engineered proteins may bind (a) a target (e.g., a cellular protein) on a cancerous cell or a pathogen and (b) a metal chelate comprising DOTA, or an active variant thereof, and a metal ion such as a radionuclide. By virtue of the multiple binding sites, the engineered protein effectively delivers a metal chelate to a cell one wishes to destroy.
