Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

De novo designed polypeptides that bind to IL-2 receptor βγ c heterodimer (IL-2Rβγ c ), IL-4 receptor αγ c heterodimer (IL-4Rαγ c ), or IL-13 receptor α subunit (IL-13Rα) are disclosed, as are methods for using and designing the polypeptides.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A recombinant host cell comprising an expression vector, wherein the expression vector comprises a nucleic acid operatively linked to a promoter, wherein the nucleic acid encodes a non-naturally occurring polypeptide wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 80% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 181, wherein the polypeptide binds to IL-2 receptor βY c heterodimer (IL-2RβY c ). 2. The recombinant host cell of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 85% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 181. 3. The recombinant host cell of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 181. 4. The recombinant host cell of claim 3 , wherein the amino acids at positions 10-17 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO: 1; the amino acids at positions 37-44 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO:2; and the amino acids at positions 91-99 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO:3. 5. The recombinant host cell acid of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 181. 6. The recombinant host cell of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 97% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 181. 7. The recombinant host cell of claim 6 , wherein the amino acids at positions 10-17 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO: 1; the amino acids at positions 37-44 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO:2; and the amino acids at positions 91-99 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO:3. 8. The recombinant host cell of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 98% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 181. 9. The recombinant host cell of claim 8 , wherein the amino acids at positions 10-17 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO: 1; the amino acids at positions 37-44 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO:2; and the amino acids at positions 91-99 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO:3. 10. The recombinant host cell of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is 98% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 181 and comprises a tyrosine at position 8 and a glutamic acid at position 33. 11. The recombinant host cell of claim 10 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is 99% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 181 and comprises a cysteine at position 62. 12. The recombinant host cell of claim 1 , wherein the amino acids at positions 10-17 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO: 1; the amino acids at positions 37-44 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO:2; and the amino acids at positions 91-99 relative to SEQ ID NO: 181 are identical to SEQ ID NO:3. 13. The recombinant host cell of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 181.
