Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a collection of novel muteins derived from human α1m (or a1m) polypeptide or a functional homolog thereof. The disclosure further refers to a α1m mutein capable of specifically binding to one or more targets other than a target to which wild-type α1m binds. The disclosure also relates to a method for producing such collection of muteins and a method for isolating a mutein capable of binding one or more such non-natural targets of wild-type α1m polypeptide. These aspects are made possible due to, e.g, the structural elucidation of α1m disclosed herein by the present inventors, an appreciation of ligand-binding sights thereof and, hence, an understanding of which amino acid positions are most suitable for mutagenesis for re-engineering specificity and affinity for any given target while maintaining the secondary and/or tertiary structure of a1m.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising at least 100 different muteins of human a1m polypeptide, wherein the amino acid sequence of each mutein differs from human a1m polypeptide at one or more of the sequence positions which correspond to the sequence positions in the four peptide loops #1, #2, #3 and #4 of human a1m polypeptide, wherein the amino acid sequence of each mutein differs from human a1m polypeptide at one or more of the sequence positions which correspond…
