Abstract

The present invention provides for recombinant Endo-D and selected mutants that exhibit reduced hydrolysis activity and increased transglycosylation activity for the synthesis of glycoproteins wherein a desired sugar chain is added to a core fucosylated or nonfucosylated GlcNAc-protein acceptor by transglycosylation. Such recombinant Endo-D and selected mutants are useful for efficient glycosylation remodeling of IgG1-Fc domain.

Claims (9)

1. A delivery device for delivering a drug having biological activity to treat a condition, the delivery device comprising: a remodeled antibody comprising a recombinant fucosylated antibody having a predetermined number of sugar residues and a drug attached to a terminal sugar, wherein the delivery device is synthesized according to the following steps:

a) providing an antibody or fragment thereof comprising a fucosylated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) acceptor moiety; wherein the fucosylated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) acceptor moiety is positioned on a Fc region of the antibody or fragment thereof; and

b) enzymatically transferring an oligosaccharide moiety having the predetermined number of sugar residues and the drug attached to the terminal sugar of the sugar residues of the oligosaccharide moiety to the fucosylated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) acceptor moiety under the catalysis of an Endoglycosidase-D full length or truncated mutant selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8 and SEQ ID NO: 9, to form a modified antibody or fragment thereof with the predetermined number of sugar residues.

2. The delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the drug attached to the terminal sugar is a therapeutic agent for treating cancer, a therapeutic agent for HIV, a toxin, an antigen, a therapeutic polypeptide, a chemokine or a cytokine attached to the oligosaccharide.

3. The delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody selected from the group consisting of cetuximab, rituximab, muromonab-CD3, abciximab, daclizumab, basiliximab, palivizumab, infliximab, trastuzumab, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, alemtuzumab, ibritumomab tiuxetan, adalimumab, omalizumab, tositumomab, efalizumab, bevacizumab, panitumumab, pertuzumab, natalizumab, etanercept, volociximab, Anti-CD80 mAb, Anti-CD23 mAb, eraptuzumab, matuzumab, zanolimumab, adecatumumab, oregovomab, nimotuzumab, denosumab, fontolizumab, daclizumab, golimumab, ocrelizumab, HuMax-CD20, belimumab, epratuzumab, visilizumab, tocilizumab, ocrerlizumab, certolizumab pegol, eculizumab, pexelizumab, abciximab, ranibizimumab, and mepolizumab.

4. A delivery device for delivering a drug having biological activity to treat a condition, the delivery device comprising: a remodeled antibody comprising a recombinant fucosylated or nonfucosylated-antibody having a predetermined number of sugar residues and a drug attached to a terminal sugar, wherein the delivery device is synthesized according to the following steps:

a) providing an antibody or fragment thereof comprising a fucosylated or nonfucosylated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) acceptor moiety; wherein the fucosylated or nonfucosylated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) acceptor moiety is positioned on a Fc region of the antibody or fragment thereof; and

b) enzymatically transferring an oligosaccharide moiety having the predetermined number of sugar residues and the drug attached to the terminal sugar of the sugar residues of the oligosaccharide moiety to the fucosylated or nonfucosylated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) acceptor moiety under the catalysis of an Endoglycosidase-D full length or truncated mutant selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8 and SEQ ID NO: 9, to form a modified antibody or fragment thereof with the predetermined number of sugar residues, wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody selected from the group consisting of cetuximab, rituximab, muromonab-CD3, abciximab, daclizumab, basiliximab, palivizumab, infliximab, trastuzumab, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, alemtuzumab, ibritumomab tiuxetan, adalimumab, omalizumab, tositumomab, efalizumab, bevacizumab, panitumumab, pertuzumab, natalizumab, etanercept, volociximab, Anti-CD80 mAb, Anti-CD23 mAb, eraptuzumab, matuzumab, zanolimumab, adecatumumab, oregovomab, nimotuzumab, denosumab, fontolizumab, daclizumab, golimumab, ocrelizumab, HuMax-CD20, belimumab, epratuzumab, visilizumab, tocilizumab, ocrerlizumab, certolizumab pegol, eculizumab, pexelizumab, abciximab, ranibizimumab, and mepolizumab.

5. The delivery device of claim 4 , wherein the drug attached to the terminal sugar is a therapeutic agent for treating cancer, a therapeutic agent for HIV, a toxin, an antigen, a therapeutic polypeptide, a chemokine or a cytokine attached to the oligosaccharide.
