Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides compositions and methods for effective lysosomal targeting mediated by PCSK9. In particular, the compositions and methods provided by the invention may be used to treat lysosomal storage diseases such as Pompe Disease and Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B, and they may be used for targeting lysosomal enzymes to the various muscles of the human body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A targeted therapeutic fusion protein comprising a lysosomal enzyme fused to a lysosomal targeting moiety comprising a proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) protein comprising amino acid substitutions S386A and F379A. 2. The targeted therapeutic fusion protein of claim 1 , wherein the lysosomal enzyme is an acid alpha glucosidase (GAA) protein, comprising an amino acid sequence at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1. 3. The targeted therapeutic fusion protein of claim 1 , wherein the lysosomal enzyme is an alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (Naglu) protein comprising an amino acid sequence at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 4. 4. The targeted therapeutic fusion protein of claim 1 , wherein the lysosomal targeting moiety and the lysosomal enzyme are fused via a linker. 5. The targeted therapeutic fusion protein of claim 4 , wherein the linker comprises a sequence of GAPGGGGGAAAAAGGGGGGAPGGGGGAAAAAGGGGGGAPG GGGGAAAAAGGGGGGAP, which is SEQ ID NO: 13.
