    摘要: This invention relates to methods and compositions for designing novel fluorescent proteins, preferably to a green fluorescent proteins (GFP). The engineered GFPs are modified by substituting negatively charged amino acids with positively charged amino acids on the exterior of the protein making the protein cell permeable. The ability of the engineered fluorescent proteins to permeate cells obviates the need for transfections, allowing these novel proteins to be used in numerous biological applications.

    摘要: Mutant forms of ribonuclease inhibitor are described which are rendered more resistant to oxidation while retaining affinity for both ribonuclease and angiogenin. The mutant forms have another amino acid, typically an alanine, substituted for one or more of the adjacent cysteine residues in the wild-type sequence to prevent the formation of unwanted disulfide bonds which can disrupt the effectiveness of the molecule.

    摘要: An enzyme is re-engineered to be a zymogen, an enzyme precursor which is converted into an enzyme by protease cleavage. In the example described here, an RNase A enzyme is converted into a zymogen by adding to the enzyme a bridge of amino acids linking the amino and carboxyl termini of the enzyme. The bridge has built in it a protease cleavage site for a specific protease, for example the protease plasmepsin II, produced by the malaria parasite. Since RNase A can be made cytotoxic, this permits a cytotoxic enzyme to be made in the form of a zymogen that becomes active only when it is acted on by a protease only present in a particular target cell such as a pathogen.

    摘要: 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.
