Natriuretic polypeptides
View Patent ↗This document provides methods and materials related to natriuretic polypeptides and the use of natriuretic polypeptides to treat cardiovascular and/or renal conditions. For example, chimeric polypeptides having at least one amino acid segment (e.g., N-terminus tail, ring structure, C-terminus tail, or a combination thereof) of a natriuretic peptide (e.g., ANP, BNP, CNP, URO, or DNP) and an amino acid segment of an angiotensin polypeptide (e.g., Ang-(1-7)) are provided.
1. A chimeric polypeptide comprising, in an order from amino terminus to carboxy terminus:
(a) the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 or the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 with two or less additions, deletions, or substitutions,
(b) the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7, the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 with no more than two additions, deletions, or substitutions, the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:9, or the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:9 with no more than two additions, deletions, or substitutions, and
(c) the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:30 or the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:30 with no more than two additions, deletions, or substitutions.
2. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1.
3. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 with one addition, deletion, or substitution.
4. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 with two additions, deletions, or substitutions.
5. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7.
6. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 with one addition, deletion, or substitution.
7. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 with two additions, deletions, or substitutions.
8. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:9.
9. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:9 with one addition, deletion, or substitution.
10. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:9 with two additions, deletions, or substitutions.
11. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:30.
12. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:30 with one addition, deletion, or substitution.
13. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:30 with two additions, deletions, or substitutions.
