ABSTRACT

Our laboratory has identified and developed a unique human-engineered domain (HED) structure that was obtained from the human Alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor-associated protein based on the three-dimensional structure of the Z-domain derived from Staphylococcal protein A. This HED retains µM binding activity to the human IgG1CH2-CH3 elbow region. We determined the crystal structure of HED in association with IgG1's Fc. This demonstrated that HED preserves the same three-bundle helix structure and Fc-interacting residues as the Z domain. HED was fused to the single chain variable fragment (scFv) of mAb 4D5 to produce an antibody-like protein capable of interacting with the p185Her2/neu ectodomain and the Fc of IgG. When further fused with murine IFN-γ (mIFN-γ) at the carboxy terminus, the novel species exhibited antitumor efficacy in vivo in a mouse model of human breast cancer. The HED is a novel platform for the therapeutic utilization of engineered proteins to alleviate human disease.
