    Abstract: This disclosure provides a new family of proteins implicated in causing the release of TNF receptors and other cytokine receptors from the surface of cells involved in inflammation. Receptor releasing activity was isolated and purified from a monocyte cell line, and sequenced to deduce the gene and protein structure of several different metalloproteases. The information provided in this disclosure enables the user to prepare recombinant protein or expression vectors that will cause receptor release in vivo, thus preventing signal transduction and blocking the effect of incoming cytokines. Medicaments containing cytokine receptor releasing activity are described for use in treating rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions mediated by inflammatory cytokines. The proteins of this invention are all relatively small single-chain molecules, and are therefore easier to use and more cost-effective than other currently marketed biological anti-inflammatory agents.

    CPC classification number: C12N9/6421

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to engineered polypeptides having BACE activity. In certain embodiments, the polypeptides also comprise an engineered cleavage site. Also provided are polypeptides comprising a prodomain, an engineered cleavage site, and a protease domain; the polypeptides are properly folded and are cleaved at the engineered cleavage site in vitro, producing homogeneous preparations of purified protease having BACE activity. The invention further pertains to nucleic acids, expression vectors, and host cells comprising the expression vectors for making the engineered polypeptides.
