Mammalian expression of single chain variable region fragments dimerized by Fc regions

To promote application of a single chain variable region fragment (sFv) in immunoglobulins, a sFv gene was connected to an IgG1 Fc gene, designated as a sFvc gene, and used for transfection of Sp2/0. As a result, the sFvc protein was found to be secreted in a dimeric form. It is thus felt that the sFvc protein, which mimicks the shape of a naturally occurring antibody, can be simple and useful to reproduce divalency and Fc-associated effecter functions as seen in a natural antibody.Abbreviations Abbreviations sFv single chain variable region fragment - Fc constant region of immunoglobulin - sFvc single chain variable region fragment with an Fc region

Degradation of proteins upon storage at near-neutral pH: Indications of a proteolytic/gelatinolytic activity associated with aggregates

Background

The twin phenomena of aggregation and degradation are classically associated with protein storage. However, although aggregation has been thought to be a possible consequence of protein degradation, it has never before been proposed to be a cause of degradation.

Methods

Proteins stored under physiological conditions and electrophoresed on SDS-PAGE were examined zymographically for the presence of detergent-resistant high molecular weight (HMW) forms, and association of such HMW forms with time-correlated, seeding-dependent gelatinolytic activity, under various conditions.

Results

Eight different proteins aggregate naturally during storage at near-neutral pH, with concomitant development of ‘gelatinolytic’ activity diminished greatly by storage at low temperatures, extremes of pH, arginine, imidazole, BSA, azide, EDTA, DTT, PMSF (but not AEBSF), and diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP), suggesting involvement of surface serine residues in a novel aggregate-borne proteolytic activity.

Conclusions

Naturally-formed aggregates of proteins appear to use surface serines to perform peptide bond hydrolysis, explaining degradation of proteins during storage, and indicating why aggregates are cytotoxic.

General significance

The study suggests that a bi-directional cause–effect relationship operates between protein aggregation, and protein degradation, providing clues to the design of better conditions for long-term protein storage.     

A novel anti‐prion protein monoclonal antibody and its single‐chain fragment variable derivative with ability to inhibit abnormal prion protein accumulation in cultured cells

mAbs T1 and T2 were established by immunizing PrP gene ablated mice with recombinant MoPrP of residues 121–231. Both mAbs were cross‐reactive with PrP from hamster, sheep, cattle and deer. A linear epitope of mAb T1 was identified at residues 137–143 of MoPrP and buried in PrP^C expressed on the cell surface. mAb T1 showed no inhibitory effect on accumulation of PrP^Sc in cultured scrapie‐infected neuroblastoma (ScN2a) cells. In contrast, mAb T2 recognized a discontinuous epitope ranged on, or structured by, residues 132–217 and this epitope was exposed on the cell surface PrP^C. mAb T2 showed an excellent inhibitory effect on PrP^Sc accumulation in vitro at a 50% inhibitory concentration of 0.02 μg/ml (0.14 nM). The scFv form of mAb T2 (scFv T2) was secreted in neuroblastoma (N2a58) cell cultures by transfection through eukaryotic secretion vector. Coculturing of ScN2a cells with scFv T2‐producing N2a58 cells induced a clear inhibitory effect on PrP^Sc accumulation, suggesting that scFv T2 could potentially be an immunotherapeutic tool for prion diseases by inhibition of PrP^Sc accumulation.
