摘要:
The present invention is directed to a fusion protein comprising a light chain region of a Clostridial neurotoxin and a heavy chain region of a Clostridial neurotoxin, where the light and heavy chain regions are linked by a disulfide bond. The fusion protein also has a single chain antibody positioned upstream of the light chain region, where the single chain antibody possesses antigen-binding activity. Also disclosed are therapeutic agents, treatment methods, propeptide fusions, isolated nucleic acid molecules, expression systems, host cells, and methods of expressing fusion proteins.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an isolated Clostridial neurotoxin propeptide having a light chain region, a heavy chain region, where the light and heavy chain regions are linked by a disulfide bond, and an intermediate region connecting the light and heavy chain regions. An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a Clostridial neurotoxin propeptide is also disclosed. Also disclosed is an isolated, physiologically active Clostridial neurotoxin produced by cleaving a Clostridial neurotoxin propeptide, a vaccine or antidote thereof, and methods of immunizing against or treating for toxic effects of Clostridial neurotoxins. Methods of expressing recombinant physiologically active Clostridial neurotoxins are also disclosed. Also disclosed is a chimeric protein having a heavy chain region of a Clostridial neurotoxin and a protein with therapeutic functionality. A treatment method is also disclosed.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a treatment method. This method involves contacting a subject with an isolated, physiologically active, atoxic derivative of a Clostridial neurotoxin. Contacting is carried out to treat the subject. The derivative of a Clostridial neurotoxin does not possess a cargo attachment peptide sequence at its N-terminus.

This invention relates to isolated Clostridium botulinum propeptides and neurotoxins, isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding Clostridium botulinum propeptides and neurotoxins, methods of expression, treatment methods, and methods of detecting neurotoxin trafficking. The isolated Clostridium botulinum propeptides have a light chain region; a heavy chain region, where the light and heavy chain regions are linked by a disulfide bond; an intermediate region connecting the light and heavy chain regions and comprising a highly specific protease cleavage site; and an S6 peptide sequence according to SEQ ID NO:2 positioned upstream from, but not attached directly to, the N-terminus of the neurotoxin propeptide at the light chain region to enable site specific attachment of cargo.
