PROTEINS REGULATING GENE EXPRESSION
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of proteins
regulating
gene expression and to the use of these sequences in the diagnosis, treatment,
and prevention of
reproductive disorders, nervous disorders, and diseases associated with cell
proliferation and
differentiation, including cancer, immune disorders, and developmental
disorders.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Multicellular organisms are comprised of diverse cell types that differ
dramatically both in
structure and function. The identity of a cell is determined by its
characteristic pattern of gene
expression, and different cell types express overlapping but distinctive sets
of genes throughout
development. Spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression is critical
for the control of cell
proliferation, cell differentiation, apoptosis, senescence, and other cellular
processes that
contribute to organismal development. Furthermore, gene expression is
regulated in response to
extracellular signals that mediate cell-cell communication and coordinate the
activities of different
cell types. Appropriate gene regulation also ensures that cells function
efficiently by expressing
only those genes whose functions are required at a given time.
Transcription Factors
Transcriptional regulatory proteins are essential for the control of gene
expression. Some
of these proteins function as transcription factors that initiate, activate,
repress, or terminate gene
transcription. Transcription factors generally bind to the promoter, enhancer,
and upstream
regulatory regions of a gene in a sequence-specific manner, although some
factors bind regulatory
elements within or downstream of the internal coding region of a gene.
Transcription factors may
bind to a specific region of DNA singly or as a complex with other accessory
factors. (Reviewed
in Lewin, B. (1990) Genes IV, Oxford University Press, New York, NY, pp. 554-
570.)
The double helix structure and repeated sequences of DNA create topological
and
chemical features which can be recognized by transcription factors. These
features are hydrogen
bond donor and acceptor groups, hydrophobic patches, major and minor grooves,
and regular,
repeated stretches of sequence which induce distinct bends in the helix.
Typically, transcription
factors recognize specific DNA sequence motifs about 20 nucleotides in length
or less. Multiple,
adjacent transcription factor-binding motifs may be required for gene
regulation.
Many transcription factors incorporate DNA-binding structural motifs which
comprise
either a helices or f3 sheets that bind to the major groove of DNA. Four well-
characterized
-I-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
structural motifs are helix-turn-helix, zinc finger, leucine zipper, and helix-
loop-helix. Proteins
containing these motifs may act alone as monomers, or they may form homo- or
heterodimers that
interact with DNA.
The helix-turn-helix motif consists of two a helices connected at a fixed
angle by a short
chain of amino acids. One of the helices binds to the major groove. Helix-turn-
helix motifs are
exemplified by the horneobox motif which is present in homeodomain proteins.
These proteins
are critical for specifying the anterior-posterior body axis during
development and are conserved
throughout the animal kingdom. The Antennapedia and Ultrabithorax proteins of
Drosophila
melano ag_ ster are prototypical homeodomain proteins (Patio, C.O. and R.T.
Sauer ( 1992) Ann.
Rev. Biochem. 61:1053-1095).
The zinc finger motif, which binds zinc ions, generally contains tandem
repeats of about
30 amino acids consisting of periodically spaced cysteine and histidine
residues. Examples of this
sequence pattern, designated C2H2 and C3HC4, have been described (Lewin,
supra.). Zinc finger
proteins each contain an a helix and an antiparalle) Q sheet whose proximity
and conformation are
I S maintained by the zinc ion. Contact with DNA is made by the arginine
preceding the a helix and
by the second, third, and sixth residues of the a helix. Variants of the zinc
finger motif include
poorly defined cysteine-rich motifs which bind zinc or other metal ions. These
motifs may not
contain histidine residues and are generally nonrepetitive.
The bromodomain signature is an additional conserved region of about 70 amino
acids
found in a number of transcriptional regulatory proteins (ExPASy PROSITE
document PS00633;
Haynes, S.R. et al. (1992) Nucleic Acids Res. 20:2603). Although the exact
function of this
domain is unclear, it is found in the DNA-binding region of the thyroid
hormone receptor
coactivating protein. The thyroid hormone receptor is a member of the
steroid/thyroid receptor
superfamily that regulates the expression of many target genes through binding
to thyroid
hormone response elements (Tsuyoshi, M. et al (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272:29834-
29841). The
bromodomain signature is also found in eukaroytic transcriptional initiation
factor, TFIID, a
protein essential for progression of the G 1 phase of the cell cycle.
The leucine zipper motif comprises a stretch of amino acids rich in leucine
which can
form an amphipathic a helix. This structure provides the basis for
dimerization of two leucine
zipper proteins. The region adjacent to the leucine zipper is usually basic,
and upon protein
dimerization, is optimally positioned for binding to the major groove.
The helix-loop-helix motif consists of a short a helix connected by a loop to
a longer a
helix. The loop is flexible and allows the two helices to fold back against
each other and to bind to
DNA. The transcription factor Myc contains a prototypical HLH motif.

CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
Most transcription factors contain characteristic DNA binding motifs
including, but not
limited to, those described above. Variations on the above motifs and new
motifs have been and
are currently being characterized (Faisst, S. and S. Meyer (1992) Nucl. Acids
Res. 20:3-26).
Chromatin Associated Proteins
In the nucleus, DNA is packaged into chromatin, the compact organization of
which limits
the accessibility of DNA to transcription factors and plays a key role in gene
regulation (Lewin,
su ra, pp. 409-410). The compact structure of chromatin is determined and
influenced by
chromatin-associated proteins such as the histories, the high mobility group
(HMG) proteins, and
the chromodomain proteins. There are five classes of histories, H1, H2A, H2B,
H3, and H4, all of
which are highly basic, low molecular weight proteins. The fundamental unit of
chromatin, the
nucleosome, consists of 200 base pairs of DNA associated with two copies each
of H2A, H2B,
H3, and H4. HI links adjacent nucleosomes. HMG proteins are low molecular
weight,
non-histone proteins that may play a role in unwinding DNA and stabilizing
single-stranded DNA.
Chromodomain proteins play a key role in the formation of highly compacted
heterochromatin,
which is transcriptionally silent.
RNA-Associated Proteins
Much of the regulation of gene expression in eukaroytic cells occurs at the
posttranscriptional level. Messenger RNAs (mRNA) which are produced in the
cell nucleus from
primary transcripts of protein-encoding genes are processed and transported to
the cytoplasm
where the protein synthesis machinery is located. RNA-associated proteins are
a group of proteins
that participate in the processing, splicing, editing, transport,
localization, translation, stability, and
posttranscriptional regulation of mRNAs. Such proteins include RNA helicases,
splicing factors,
nucleases, and translational regulatory proteins. In addition, the nucleolus
is a highly organized
subcompartment of the nucleus which contains protein machinery specifically
dedicated to the
transcription and processing of ribosomal RNAs. The RNA-binding activity of
these proteins is
mediated by a series of RNA-binding motifs identified within them. These
domains include the
RNP motif, the arginine-rich motif, the RGG box, and the ICH motif. (Reviewed
in Burd, C. G.
and Dreyfuss, G. (1994) Science 265:615 - 621.) The RNP motif is the most
widely found
and best characterized of these motifs. It is composed of 90-100 amino acids
which form an
RNA-binding domain, and is found in one or more copies in proteins that bind
pre-mRNA,
mRNA, pre-ribosomal RNA, and small nuclear RNAs. The RNP motif is composed of
two short
sequences (RNP-1 and RNP-2) and a number of other mostly hydrophobic,
conserved amino acids
interspersed throughout the motif (Burd, supra; ExPASy PROSITE document
PDOC0030).
Diseases and disorders related to aerie re ulation
-3-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PG"T/US99/13281
Many neoplastic disorders in humans can be attributed to inappropriate gene
expression.
Malignant cell growth may result from either excessive expression of tumor
promoting genes or
insufficient expression of tumor suppressor genes (Cleary, M.L. (1992) Cancer
Surv. 15:89-104).
Chromosomal translocations may also produce chimeric loci which fuse the
coding sequence of
one gene with the regulatory regions of a second unrelated gene. Such an
arrangement likely
results in inappropriate gene transcription. The Wilms tumor suppressor
gene~product, WT1, is a
protein containing a DNA-binding domain consisting of four zinc fingers and a
proline-glutamine
rich region capable of regulating transcription (ExPASy PROSITE document
PR00049).
Deletions of the WT1 gene, or point mutations which destroy the DNA-binding
activity of the
protein, are assiociated with development of the pediatric nephroblastoma,
Wilms tumor, and
Denys-Drash syndrome (Rauscher, F.J. (1993) FASEB J. 7:896-903}.
Certain proteins enriched in glutamine are associated with various
neurological disorders
including spinocerebellar ataxia, bipolar effective disorder, schizophrenia
and autism (Margolis,
R.L. et al. (1997) Human Genetics 100:114-122). These proteins contain regions
with as many as
1 S or more consecutive glutamine residues and may function as transcription
factors with a
potential role in regulation of neurodevelopment or neuroplasticity.
The immune system responds to infection or trauma by activating a cascade of
events that
coordinate the progressive selection, amplification, and mobilization of
cellular defense
mechanisms. A complex and balanced program of gene activation and repression
is involved in
this process. However, hyperactivity of the immune system as a result of
improper or insufficient
regulation of gene expression may result in considerable tissue or organ
damage. This damage is
well documented in immunological responses associated with arthritis,
allergens, heart attack,
stroke, and infections (Harrison's Princ~les of Internal Medicine, l3/e,
McGraw Hill, Inc. and
Teton Data Systems Software, 1996). In particular, a zinc finger protein
termed Staf50 (for
Stimulated trans-acting factor of 50 kDa) is a transcriptional regulator and
is induced in various
cell lines by interferon-I and -II. Staf50 appears to mediate the antiviral
activity of interferon by
down-regulating the viral transcription directed by the long terminal repeat
promoter region of
human immunodeficiency virus type-1 in transfected cells (Tissot, C. (1995) J.
Biol. Chem.
270:14891-14898).
Furthermore, the generation of multicellular organisms is based upon the
induction and
coordination of cell differentiation at the appropriate stages of development.
Central to this
process is differential gene expression, which confers the distinct identities
of cells and tissues
throughout the body. Failure to regulate gene expression during development
could result in
developmental disorders.
The discovery of new proteins regulating gene expression and the
polynucleotides

WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281
encoding them satisfies a need in the art by providing new compositions which
are useful in the
diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of reproductive disorders, nervous
disorders, and diseases
associated with cell proliferation and differentiation, including cancer,
immune disorders, and
developmental disorders.

carbohydrates, or any other molecules which bind to and modulate the effect of
PRGE.
An "allelic variant" is an alternative form of the gene encoding PRGE. Allelic
variants
may result from at least one mutation in the nucleic acid sequence and may
result in altered
mRNAs or in polypeptides whose structure or function may or may not be
altered. Any given
natural or recombinant gene may have none, one, or many allelic forms. Common
mutational
changes which give rise to allelic variants are generally ascribed to natural
deletions, additions, or
substitutions of nucleotides. Each of these types of changes may occur alone,
or in combination
with the others, one or more times in a given sequence.
"Altered" nucleic acid sequences encoding PRGE include those sequences with
deletions,
insertions, or substitutions of different nucleotides, resulting in a
polynucleotide the same as
PRGE or a polypeptide with at least one functional characteristic of PRGE.
Included within this
definition are polymorphisms which may or may not be readily detectable using
a particular
oligonucleotide probe of the polynucleotide encoding PRGE, and improper or
unexpected
hybridization to allelic variants, with a locus other than the normal
chromosomal locus for the
polynucleotide sequence encoding PRGE. The encoded protein may also be
"altered," and may
contain deletions, insertions, or substitutions of amino acid residues which
produce a silent change
and result in a functionally equivalent PRGE. Deliberate amino acid
substitutions may be made on
the basis of similarity in polarity, charge, solubility, hydrophobicity,
hydrophilicity, and/or the
amphipathic nature of the residues, as long as the biological or immunological
activity of PRGE is
retained. For example, negatively charged amino acids may include aspartic
acid and glutamic
acid, positively charged amino acids may include lysine and arginine, and
amino acids with
-8-

WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
uncharged polar head groups having similar hydrophilicity values may include
leucine, isoleucine,
and valine; glycine and alanine; asparagine and glutamine; serine and
threonine; and
phenylalanine and tyrosine.
The terms "amino acid" or "amino acid sequence" refer to an oligopeptide,
peptide,
S polypeptide, or protein sequence, or a fragment of any of these, and to
naturally occurring or
synthetic molecules. In this context, "fragments," "immunogenic fragments," or
"antigenic
fragments" refer to fragments of PRGE which are preferably at least 5 to about
15 amino acids in
length, most preferably at least 14 amino acids, and which retain some
biological activity or
immunological activity of PRGE. Where "amino acid sequence" is recited to
refer to an amino
acid sequence of a naturally occurring protein molecule, "amino acid sequence"
and like terms are
not meant to limit the amino acid sequence to the complete native amino acid
sequence associated
with the recited protein molecule.
"Amplification" relates to the production of additional copies of a nucleic
acid sequence.
Amplification is generally carried out using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
technologies well
known in the art.
The term "antagonist" refers to a molecule which, when bound to PRGE,
decreases the
amount or the duration of the effect of the biological or immunological
activity of PRGE.
Antagonists may include proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, antibodies, or
any other molecules
which decrease the effect of PRGE.
The term "antibody" refers to intact molecules as well as to fragments
thereof, such as
Fab, F(ab')z, and Fv fragments, which are capable of binding the epitopic
determinant. Antibodies
that bind PRGE polypeptides can be prepared using intact polypeptides or using
fragments
containing small peptides of interest as the immunizing antigen. The
polypeptide or oligopeptide
used to immunize an animal (e.g., a mouse, a rat, or a rabbit) can be derived
from the translation of
RNA, or synthesized chemically, and can be conjugated to a carrier protein if
desired. Commonly
used carriers that are chemically coupled to peptides include bovine serum
albumin, thyroglobulin,
and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). The coupled peptide is then used to
immunize the animal.
The term "antigenic determinant" refers to that fragment of a molecule (i.e.,
an epitope)
that makes contact with a particular antibody. When a protein or a fragment of
a protein is used to
immunize a host animal, numerous regions of the protein may induce the
production of antibodies
which bind specifically to antigenic determinants (given regions or three-
dimensional structures on
the protein). An antigenic determinant may compete with the intact antigen
(i.e., the immunogen
used to elicit the immune response) for binding to an antibody.
The term "antisense" refers to any composition containing a nucleic acid
sequence which
is complementary to the "sense" strand of a specific nucleic acid sequence.
Antisense molecules
_g_


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
may be produced by any method including synthesis or transcription. Once
introduced into a cell,
the complementary nucleotides combine with natural sequences produced by the
cell to form
duplexes and to block either transcription or translation. The designation
"negative" can refer to
the antisense strand, and the designation "positive" can refer to the sense
strand.
The term "biologically active," refers to a protein having structural,
regulatory, or
biochemical functions of a naturally occurring molecule. Likewise,
"immunologically active"
refers to the capability of the natural, recombinant, or synthetic PRGE, or of
any oligopeptide
thereof, to induce a specific immune response in appropriate animals or cells
and to bind with
specific antibodies.
The terms "complementary" or "complementarity" refer to the natural binding of
polynucleotides by base pairing. For example, the sequence "5' A-G-T 3"' bonds
to the
complementary sequence "3' T-C-A 5'." Complementarity between two single-
stranded molecules
may be "partial," such that only some of the nucleic acids bind, or it may be
"complete," such that
total complementarity exists between the single stranded molecules. The degree
of
complementarity between nucleic acid strands has significant effects on the
efficiency and strength
of the hybridization between the nucleic acid strands. This is of particular
importance in
amplification reactions, which depend upon binding between nucleic acids
strands, and in the
design and use of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) molecules.
A "composition comprising a given polynucleotide sequence" or a "composition
comprising a given amino acid sequence" refer broadly to any composition
containing the given
polynucleotide or amino acid sequence. The composition may comprise a dry
formulation or an
aqueous solution. Compositions comprising polynucleotide sequences encoding
PRGE or
fragments of PRGE may be employed as hybridization probes. The probes may be
stored in
freeze-dried form and may be associated with a stabilizing agent such as a
carbohydrate. In
hybridizations, the probe may be deployed in an aqueous solution containing
salts (e.g., NaCI),
detergents (e.g., sodium dodecyl sulfate; SDS}, and other components (e.g.,
Denhardt's solution,
dry milk, salmon sperm DNA, etc.).
"Consensus sequence"refers to a nucleic acid sequence which has been
resequenced to
resolve uncalled bases, extended using XL-PCR kit (Perkin-Elmer, Norwalk CT)
in the 5' and/or
the 3' direction, and resequenced, or which has been assembled from the
overlapping sequences of
more than one Incyte Clone using a computer program for fragment assembly,
such as the
GELVIEW Fragment Assembly system (GCG, Madison WI). Some sequences have been
both
extended and assembled to produce the consensus sequence.
The term "correlates with expression of a polynucleotide" indicates that the
detection of
the presence of nucleic acids, the same or related to a nucleic acid sequence
encoding PRGE, by
-lo-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
northern analysis is indicative of the presence of nucleic acids encoding PRGE
in a sample, and
thereby correlates with expression of the transcript from the polynucleotide
encoding PRGE.
A "deletion"refers to a change in the amino acid or nucleotide sequence that
results in the
absence of one or more amino acid residues or nucleotides.
The term "derivative" refers to the chemical modification of a polypeptide
sequence, or a
polynucleotide sequence. Chemical modifications of a polynucleotide sequence
can include, for
example, replacement of hydrogen by an alkyl, acyl, or amino group. A
derivative polynucleotide
encodes a polypeptide which retains at least one biological or immunological
function of the
natural molecule. A derivative polypeptide is one modified by glycosylation,
pegylation, or any
similar process that retains at least one biological or immunological function
of the polypeptide
from which it was derived.
The term "similarity" refers to a degree of complementarity. There may be
partial
similarity or complete similarity. The word "identity" may substitute for the
word "similarity." A
partially complementary sequence that at least partially inhibits an identical
sequence from
hybridizing to a target nucleic acid is referred to as "substantially
similar." The inhibition of
hybridization of the completely complementary sequence to the target sequence
may be examined
using a hybridization assay (Southern or northern blot, solution
hybridization, and the like) under
conditions of reduced stringency. A substantially similar sequence or
hybridization probe will
compete for and inhibit the binding of a completely similar (identical)
sequence to the target
sequence under conditions of reduced stringency. This is not to say that
conditions of reduced
stringency are such that non-specific binding is permitted, as reduced
stringency conditions
require that the binding of two sequences to one another be a specific (i.e.,
a selective) interaction.
The absence of non-specific binding may be tested by the use of a second
target sequence which
lacks even a partial degree of complementarity (e.g., less than about 30%
similarity or identity).
In the absence of non-specific binding, the substantially similar sequence or
probe will not
hybridize to the second non-complementary target sequence.
The phrases "percent identity" or "% identity" refer to the percentage of
sequence
similarity found in a comparison of two or more amino acid or nucleic acid
sequences. Percent
identity can be determined electronically, e.g., by using the ME(iALIGN
program (DNASTAR,
Madison WI) which creates alignments between two or more sequences according
to methods
selected by the user, e.g., the clustal method. (See, e.g., Higgins, D.G. and
P.M. Sharp (1988)
Gene 73:237-244.) The clustal algorithm groups sequences into clusters by
examining the
distances between all pairs. The clusters are aligned pairwise and then in
groups. The percentage
similarity between two amino acid sequences, e.g., sequence A and sequence B,
is calculated by
dividing the length of sequence A, minus the number of gap residues in
sequence A, minus the
-11-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
number of gap residues in sequence B, into the sum of the residue matches
between sequence A
and sequence B, times one hundred. Gaps of low or of no similarity between the
two amino acid
sequences are not included in determining percentage similarity. Percent
identity between nucleic
acid sequences can also be counted or calculated by other methods known in the
art, e.g., the Jotun
Hein method. (See, e.g., Hein, J. (1990) Methods Enzymol. 183:626-645.)
Identity between
sequences can also be determined by other methods known in the art, e.g., by
varying
hybridization conditions.
"Human artificial chromosomes" (HACs) are linear microchromosomes which may
contain DNA sequences of about 6 kb to 10 Mb in size, and which contain all of
the elements
required for stable mitotic chromosome segregation and maintenance.
The term "humanized antibody" refers to antibody molecules in which the amino
acid
sequence in the non-antigen binding regions has been altered so that the
antibody more closely
resembles a human antibody, and still retains its original binding ability.
"Hybridization" refers to any process by which a strand of nucleic acid binds
with a
complementary strand through base pairing.
The term "hybridization complex" refers to a complex formed between two
nucleic acid
sequences by virtue of the formation of hydrogen bonds between complementary
bases. A
hybridization complex may be formed in solution (e.g., Cot or Rnt analysis) or
formed between one
nucleic acid sequence present in solution and another nucleic acid sequence
immobilized on a
solid support (e.g., paper, membranes, filters, chips, pins or glass slides,
or any other appropriate
substrate to which cells or their nucleic acids have been fixed).
The words "insertion" or "addition" refer to changes in an amino acid or
nucleotide
sequence resulting in the addition of one or more amino acid residues or
nucleotides, respectively,
to the sequence found in the naturally occurring molecule.
"Immune response" can refer to conditions associated with inflammation,
trauma, immune
disorders, or infectious or genetic disease, etc. These conditions can be
characterized by
expression of various factors, e.g., cytokines, chemokines, and other
signaling molecules, which
may affect cellular and systemic defense systems.
The term "microarray" refers to an arrangement of distinct polynucleotides on
a substrate.
The terms "element" or "array element" in a microarray context, refer to
hybridizable
polynucleotides arranged on the surface of a substrate.
The term "modulate" refers to a change in the activity of PRGE. For example,
modulation
may cause an increase or a decrease in protein activity, binding
characteristics, or any other
biological, functional, or immunological properties of PRGE.
The phrases "nucleic acid" or "nucleic acid sequence," as used herein, refer
to a
-12-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 -
nucleotide, oligonucleotide, polynucleotide, or any fragment thereof. These
phrases also refer to
DNA or RNA of genomic or synthetic origin which may be single-stranded or
double-stranded
and may represent the sense or the antisense strand, to peptide nucleic acid
(PNA), or to any
DNA-like or RNA-Iike material. In this context, "fragments" refers to those
nucleic acid
sequences which, comprise a region of unique polynucleotide sequence that
specifically identifies
SEQ ID N0:32-62, for example, as distinct from any other sequence in the same
genome. For
example, a fragment of SEQ ID N0:32-62 is useful in hybridization and
amplification
technologies and in analogous methods that distinguish SEQ ID N0:32-62 from
related
polynucleotide sequences. A fragment of SEQ ID N0:32-62 is at least about 15-
20 nucleotides in
length. The precise length of the fragment of SEQ ID N0:32-62 and the region
of SEQ ID
N0:32-62 to which the fragment corresponds are routinely determinable by one
of ordinary skill
in the art based on the intended purpose for the fragment. Alternatively, a
fragment when
translated, would produce polypeptides retaining some functional
characteristic, e.g., antigenicity,
or structural domain characteristic, e.g., ATP-binding site, of the full-
length polypeptide.
The terms "operably associated" or "operably linked" refer to functionally
related nucleic
acid sequences. A promoter is operably associated or operably linked with a
coding sequence if
the promoter controls the translation of the encoded polypeptide. While
operably associated or
operably linked nucleic acid sequences can be contiguous and in the same
reading frame, certain
genetic elements, e.g., repressor genes, are not contiguously linked to the
sequence encoding the
polypeptide but still bind to operator sequences that control expression of
the polypeptide.
The term "oligonucleotide" refers to a nucleic acid sequence of at least about
6
nucleotides to 60 nucleotides, preferably about 15 to 30 nucleotides, and most
preferably about 20
to 25 nucleotides, which can be used in PCR amplification or in a
hybridization assay or
microarray. "Oligonucleotide" is substantially equivalent to the terms
"amplimer," "primer,"
"oligomer," and "probe," as these terms are commonly defined in the art.
"Peptide nucleic acid" (PNA) refers to an antisense molecule or anti-gene
agent which
comprises an oligonucieotide of at least about 5 nucleotides in length linked
to a peptide backbone
of amino acid residues ending in lysine. The terminal lysine confers
solubility to the composition.
PNAs preferentially bind complementary single stranded DNA or RNA and stop
transcript
elongation, and may be pegylated to extend their lifespan in the cell.
The term "sample" is used in its broadest sense. A sample suspected of
containing nucleic
acids encoding PRGE, or fragments thereof, or PRGE itself, may comprise a
bodily fluid; an
extract from a cell, chromosome, organelle, or membrane isolated from a cell;
a cell; genomic
DNA, RNA, or cDNA, in solution or bound to a substrate; a tissue; a tissue
print; etc.
The terms "specific binding" or "specifically binding" refer to that
interaction between a
-13-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99164596 PCT/US99/13281
protein or peptide and an agonist, an antibody, or an antagonist. The
interaction is dependent upon
the presence
of a particular structure of the protein, e.g., the antigenic determinant or
epitope, recognized by the
binding molecule. For example, if an antibody is specif c for epitope "A," the
presence of a
polypeptide containing the epitope A, or the presence of free unlabeled A, in
a reaction containing
free labeled A and the antibody will reduce the amount of labeled A that binds
to the antibody.
The term "stringent conditions" refers to conditions which permit
hybridization between
polynucleotides and the claimed polynucleotides. Stringent conditions can be
defined by salt
concentration, the concentration of organic solvent, e.g., formamide,
temperature, and other
conditions well known in the art. In particular, stringency can be increased
by reducing the
concentration of salt, increasing the cancentration of formamide, or raising
the hybridization
temperature.
The term "substantially purified" refers to nucleic acid or amino acid
sequences that are
removed from their natural environment and are isolated or separated, and are
at least about 60%
free, preferably about 75% free, and most preferably about 90% free from other
components with
which they are naturally associated.
A "substitution" refers to the replacement of one or more amino acids or
nucleotides by
different amino acids or nucleotides, respectively.
"Substrate" refers to any suitable rigid or semi-rigid support including
membranes, filters,
chips, slides, wafers, fibers, magnetic or nonmagnetic beads, gels, tubing,
plates, polymers,
microparticles and capillaries. The substrate can have a variety of surface
forms, such as wells,
trenches, pins, channels and pores, to which polynucleotides or polypeptides
are bound.
"Transformation" describes a process by which exogenous DNA enters and changes
a
recipient cell. Transformation may occur under natural or artificial
conditions according to
various methods well known in the art, and may rely on any known method for
the insertion of
foreign nucleic acid sequences into a prokaryotic or eukaryotic host cell. The
method for
transformation is selected based on the type of host cell being transformed
and may include, but is
not limited to, viral infection, electroporation, heat shock, lipofection, and
particle bombardment.
The term "transformed" cells includes stably transformed cells in which the
inserted DNA is
capable of replication either as an autonomously replicating plasmid or as
part of the host
chromosome, as well as transiently transformed cells which express the
inserted DNA or RNA for
limited periods of time.
A "variant" of PRGE polypeptides refers to an amino acid sequence that is
altered by one
-19-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 -
or more amino acid residues. The variant may have "conservative" changes,
wherein a substituted
amino acid has similar structural or chemical properties (e.g., replacement of
leucine with
isoleucine). More rarely, a variant may have "nonconservative" changes (e.g.,
replacement of
glycine with tryptophan). Analogous minor variations may also include amino
acid deletions or
insertions, or both. Guidance in determining which amino acid residues may be
substituted,
inserted, or deleted without abolishing biological or immunological activity
may be found using
computer programs well known in the art, for example, LASERGENE software
(DNASTAR).
The term "variant," when used in the context of a polynucleotide sequence, may
encompass a polynucleotide sequence related to PRGE. This definition may also
include, for
example, "allelic" (as defined above), "splice," "species," or "polymorphic"
variants. A splice
variant may have significant identity to a reference molecule, but will
generally have a greater or
lesser number of polynucleotides due to alternate splicing of exons during
mRNA processing. The
corresponding polypeptide may possess additional functional domains or an
absence of domains.
Species variants are polynucleotide sequences that vary from one species to
another. The resulting
polypeptides generally will have significant amino acid identity relative to
each other. A
polymorphic variant is a variation in the polynucleotide sequence of a
particular gene between
individuals of a given species. Polymorphic variants also may encompass
"single nucleotide
polymorphisms" (SNPs) in which the polynucleotide sequence varies by one base.
The presence
of SNPs may be indicative of, for example, a certain population, a disease
state, or a propensity for
a disease state.
THE INVENTION

expression
{PRGE), the polynucleotides encoding PRGE, and the use of these compositions

treatment, or prevention of reproductive disorders, nervous disorders, and
diseases associated with
cell proliferation and differentiation, including cancer, immune disorders,
and developmental
disorders.

The columns of Table 2 show various properties of the polypeptides of the
invention:
column 1 references the SEQ ID NO; column 2 shows the number of amino acid
residues in each
polypeptide; column 3, potential phosphorylation sites; column 4, potential
glycosylation sites;
column 5, the amino acid residues comprising signature sequences and motifs;
column 6, the
identity of each protein; and column 7, analytical methods used to identify
each protein through
sequence homology and protein motifs.
The columns of Table 3 show the tissue-specificity and diseases, disorders, or

nucleotide sequence identifiers. The second column lists tissue categories
which express PRGE as
a fraction of total tissue categories expressing PRGE. The third column lists
the diseases,
disorders, or conditions associated with those tissues expressing PRGE. The
fourth column lists

The following fragments of the nucleotide sequences encoding PRGE are useful
in
hybridization or amplification technologies to identify SEQ ID N0:56-62 and to
distinguish
between SEQ ID N0:56-62 and related polynucleotide sequences. The useful
fragments are the
fragment of SEQ ID N0:56 from about nucleotide 1675 to about nucleotide 1719;
the fragment of
SEQ ID N0:57 from about nucleotide 379 to about nucleotide 423; the fragment
of SEQ ID
N0:58 from about nucleotide 596 to about nucleotide 640; the fragment of SEQ
ID N0:59 from
about nucleotide 219 to about nucleotide 263; the fragment of SEQ ID N0:60

about nucleotide 197
to about nucleotide 244; and the fragment of SEQ ID N0:62 from about
nucleotide 217 to about
nucleotide 261.
The invention also encompasses PRGE variants. A preferred PRGE variant is one
which
has at least about 80%, more preferably at least about 90%, and most
preferably at least about 95%
amino acid sequence identity to the PRGE amino acid sequence, and which
contains at least one
functional or structural characteristic of PRGE.
The invention also encompasses polynucleotides which encode PRGE. In a
particular
embodiment, the invention encompasses a polynucleotide sequence comprising a
sequence
selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID N0:32-62, which encodes PRGE.
3U The invention also encompasses a variant of a polynucleotide sequence
encoding PRGE.
In particular, such a variant polynucleotide sequence will have at least about
80%, more preferably
at least about 90%, and most preferably at least about 95% polynucleotide
sequence identity to the
polynucleotide sequence encoding PRGE. A particular aspect of the invention
encompasses a
variant of a polynucleotide sequence comprising a sequence selected from the
group consisting of
SEQ ID N0:32-62 which has at least about 80%, more preferably at least about
90%, and most
-16-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 -
preferably at least about 95% polynucleotide sequence identity to a nucleic
acid sequence selected
from the group consisting of SEQ ID N0:32-62. Any one of the polynucleotide
variants described
above can encode an amino acid sequence which contains at least one functional
or structural
characteristic of PRGE.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that as a result of the
degeneracy of the
genetic code, a multitude of polynucleotide sequences encoding PRGE, some
bearing minimal
similarity to the polynucleotide sequences of any known and naturally
occurring gene, may be
produced. Thus, the invention contemplates each and every possible variation
of polynucleotide
sequence that could be made by selecting combinations based on possible codon
choices. These
combinations are made in accordance with the standard triplet genetic code as
applied to the
polynucleotide sequence of naturally occurring PRGE, and all such variations
are to be considered
as being specifically disclosed.
Although nucleotide sequences which encode PRGE and its variants are
preferably
capable of hybridizing to the nucleotide sequence of the naturally occurring
PRGE under
appropriately selected conditions of stringency, it may be advantageous to
produce nucleotide
sequences encoding PRGE or its derivatives possessing a substantially
different codon usage, e.g.,
inclusion of non-naturally occurring codons. Codons may be selected to
increase the rate at which
expression of the peptide occurs in a particular prokaryotic or eukaryotic
host in accordance with
the frequency with which particular codons are utilized by the host. Other
reasons for
substantially altering the nucleotide sequence encoding PRGE and its
derivatives without altering
the encoded amino acid sequences include the production of RNA transcripts
having more
desirable properties, such as a greater half life, than transcripts produced
from the naturally
occurring sequence.
The invention also encompasses production of DNA sequences which encode PRGE
and
PRGE derivatives, or fragments thereof, entirely by synthetic chemistry. After
production, the
synthetic sequence may be inserted into any of the many available expression
vectors and cell
systems using reagents well known in the art. Moreover, synthetic chemistry
may be used to
introduce mutations into a sequence encoding PRGE or any fragment thereof.
Also encompassed by the invention are polynucleotide sequences that are
capable of
hybridizing to the claimed polynucleotide sequences, and, in particular, to
those shown in SEQ ID
N0:32-62 and fragments thereof under various conditions of stringency. (See,
e.g., Wahl, G.M.
and S.L. Berger (1987) Methods Enzymol. 152:399-407; Kimmel, A.R. (1987)
Methods Enzymol.
152:507-511.) For example, stringent salt concentration will ordinarily be
less than about 750 mM
NaCI and 75 mM trisodium citrate, preferably less than about 500 mM NaCI and
50 mM trisodium
citrate, and most preferably less than about 250 mM NaCI and 25 mM trisodium
citrate. Low

stringency hybridization can be obtained in the absence of organic solvent,
e.g., formamide, while
high stringency hybridization can be obtained in the presence of at least
about 35% formamide,
and most preferably at least about 50% formamide. Stringent temperature
conditions will
ordinarily include temperatures of at least about 30°C, more preferably
of at least about 37°C, and
most preferably of at least about 42°C. Varying additional parameters,
such as hybridization time,
the concentration of detergent, e.g., sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and the
inclusion or exclusion
of carrier DNA, are well known to those skilled in the art. Various levels of
stringency are
accomplished by combining these various conditions as needed. In a preferred
embodiment,
hybridization will occur at 30°C in 750 mM NaCI, 75 mM trisodium
citrate, and 1 % SDS. In a
more preferred embodiment, hybridization will occur at 37°C in 500 mM
NaCI, 50 mM trisodium
citrate, 1% SDS, 35% formamide, and 100 ~g/ml denatured salmon sperm DNA
(ssDNA). In a
most preferred embodiment, hybridization will occur at 42°C in 250 mM
NaCI, 25 mM trisodium
citrate, 1% SDS, 50 % formamide, and 200 ~g/ml ssDNA. Useful variations on
these conditions
will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
The washing steps which follow hybridization can also vary in stringency. Wash
stringency conditions can be defined by salt concentration and by temperature.
As above, wash
stringency can be increased by decreasing salt concentration or by increasing
temperature. For
example, stringent salt concentration for the wash steps will preferably be
less than about 30 mM
NaCI and 3 mM trisodium citrate, and most preferably less than about 15 mM
NaCI and 1.5 mM
trisodium citrate. Stringent temperature conditions for the wash steps will
ordinarily include
temperature of at least about 25°C, more preferably of at least about
42°C, and most preferably of
at least about 68°C. In a preferred embodiment, wash steps will occur
at 25°C in 30 mM NaCI, 3
mM trisodium citrate, and 0.1 % SDS. In a more preferred embodiment, wash
steps will occur at
42°C in 15 mM NaCI, 1.5 mM trisodium citrate, and 0.1% SDS. In a most
preferred embodiment,
wash steps will occur at 68°C in 15 mM NaCI, 1.5 mM trisodium citrate,
and 0.1% SDS.
Additional variations on these conditions will be readily apparent to those
skilled in the art.
Methods for DNA sequencing are well known in the art and may be used to
practice any
of the embodiments of the invention. The methods may employ such enzymes as
the Klenow
fragment of DNA polymerise I, SEQUENASE (US Biochemical, Cleveland OH), Taq
polymerise
(Perkin-Elmer), thermostable T7 polymerise (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech,
Piscataway NJ), or
combinations of polymerises and proofreading exonucleases such as those found
in the
ELONGASE amplification system (Life Technologies, Gaithersburg MD).
Preferably, sequence
preparation is automated with machines such as the Hamilton MICROLAB 2200
(Hamilton, Reno
NV), Peltier Thermal Cycler 200 (PTC200; MJ Research, Witertown MA) and the
ABI
CATALYST 800 (Perkin-Elmer). Sequencing is then carried out using either ABI
373 or 377
-18-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
DNA sequencing systems (Perkin-Elmer) or the MEGABACE 1000 DNA sequencing
system
(Molecular Dynamics, Sunnyvale CA). The resulting sequences are analyzed using
a variety of
algorithms which are well known in the art. (See, e.g., Ausubel, F.M. (1997)
Short Protocols in
Molecular Biolo~y, John Wiley & Sons, New York NY, unit 7.7; Meyers, R.A.
(1995) Molecular
Biolog~and Biotechnoloev, Wiley VCH, New York NY, pp. 856-853.)
The nucleic acid sequences encoding PRGE may be extended utilizing a partial
nucleotide
sequence and employing various PCR-based methods known in the art to detect
upstream
sequences, such as promoters and regulatory elements. For example, one method
which may be
employed, restriction-site PCR, uses universal and nested primers to amplify
unknown sequence
from genomic DNA within a cloning vector. (See, e.g., Sarkar, G. (1993} PCR
Methods Applic.
2:318-322.) Another method, inverse PCR, uses primers that extend in divergent
directions to
amplify unknown sequence from a circularized template. The template is derived
from restriction
fragments comprising a known genomic locus and surrounding sequences. (See,
e.g., Triglia, T. et
al. (1988) Nucleic Acids Res. 16:8186.) A third method, capture PCR, involves
PCR
amplification of DNA fragments adjacent to known sequences in human and yeast
artificial
chromosome DNA. (See, e.g., Lagerstrom, M. et al. (1991) PCR Methods Applic.
1:111-119.) In
this method, multiple restriction enzyme digestions and ligations may be used
to insert an
engineered double-stranded sequence into a region of unknown sequence before
performing PCR.
Other methods which may be used to retrieve unknown sequences are known in the
art. (See, e.g.,
Parker, J.D. et al. ( 1991 ) Nucleic Acids Res. 19:3055-306). Additionally,
one may use PCR,
nested primers, and PROMOTERFINDER libraries (Clontech, Palo Alto CA) to walk
genomic
DNA. This procedure avoids the need to screen libraries and is useful in
finding intron/exon
junctions. For all PCR-based methods, primers may be designed using
commercially available
software, such as OLIGO 4.06 Primer Analysis software (National Biosciences,
Plymouth MN) or
another appropriate program, to be about 22 to 30 nucleotides in length, to
have a GC content of
about 50% or more, and to anneal to the template at temperatures of about
68°C to 72°C.
When screening for full-length cDNAs, it is preferable to use libraries that
have been
size-selected to include larger cDNAs. In addition, random-primed libraries,
which often include
sequences containing the 5' regions of genes, are preferable for situations in
which an oligo d(T)
library does not yield a full-length cDNA. Genomic libraries may be useful for
extension of
sequence into 5' non-transcribed regulatory regions.
Capillary electrophoresis systems which are commercially available may be used
to
analyze the size or confirm the nucleotide sequence of sequencing or PCR
products. In particular,
capillary sequencing may employ flowable polymers for electrophoretic
separation, four different
nucleotide-specific, laser-stimulated fluorescent dyes, and a charge coupled
device camera for
-19-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
detection of the emitted wavelengths. Outputllight intensity may be converted
to electrical signal
using appropriate software (e.g., GENOTYPER and SEQUENCE NAVIGATOR, Perkin-
Elmer),
and the entire process from loading of samples to computer analysis and
electronic data display
may be computer controlled. Capillary electrophoresis is especially preferable
for sequencing
small DNA fragments which may be present in limited amounts in a particular
sample.
In another embodiment of the invention, polynucleotide sequences or fragments
thereof
which encode PRGE may be cloned in recombinant DNA molecules that direct
expression of
PRGE, or fragments or functional equivalents thereof, in appropriate host
cells. Due to the
inherent degeneracy of the genetic code, other DNA sequences which encode
substantially the
same or a functionally equivalent amino acid sequence may be produced and used
to express
PRGE.
The nucleotide sequences of the present invention can be engineered using
methods
generally known in the art in order to alter PRGE-encoding sequences for a
variety of purposes
including, but not limited to, modification of the cloning, processing, and/or
expression of the
gene product. DNA shuffling by random fragmentation and PCR reassembly of gene
fragments
and synthetic oligonucleotides may be used to engineer the nucleotide
sequences. For example,
oligonucleotide-mediated site-directed mutagenesis may be used to introduce
mutations that create
new restriction sites, alter glycosylation patterns, change codon preference,
produce splice
variants, and so forth.
In another embodiment, sequences encoding PRGE may be synthesized, in whole or
in
part, using chemical methods well known in the art. (See, e.g., Caruthers,
M.H. et al. ( 1980) Nucl.
Acids Res. Symp. Ser. 21 S-223, and Horn, T. et al. ( 1980) Nucl. Acids Res.
Symp. Ser. 225-232.)
Alternatively, PRGE itself or a fragment thereof may be synthesized using
chemical methods. For
example, peptide synthesis can be performed using various solid-phase
techniques. (See, e.g.,
Roberge, J.Y. et al. (1995) Science 269:202-204.) Automated synthesis may be
achieved using
the ABI 431A Peptide Synthesizer (Perkin-Elmer). Additionally, the amino acid
sequence of
PRGE, or any part thereof, may be altered during direct synthesis and/or
combined with sequences
from other proteins, or any part thereof, to produce a variant polypeptide.
The peptide may be substantially purified by preparative high performance
liquid
3U chromatography. (See, e.g, Chiez, R.M. and F.Z. Regnier (1990) Methods
Enzymol. 182:392-
421.) The composition of the synthetic peptides may be confirmed by amino acid
analysis or by
sequencing. (See, e.g., Creighton, T. (1984) Proteins Structures and Molecular
Properties, WH
Freeman, New York NY.)
In order to express a biologically active PRGE, the nucleotide sequences
encoding PRGE
or derivatives thereof may be inserted into an appropriate expression vector,
i.e., a vector which
-20-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
contains the necessary elements for transcriptional and translational control
of the inserted coding
sequence in a suitable host. These elements include regulatory sequences, such
as enhancers,
constitutive and inducible promoters, and 5' and 3' untranslated regions in
the vector and in
polynucleotide sequences encoding PRGE. Such elements may vary in their
strength and
specificity. Specific initiation signals may also be used to achieve more
efficient translation of
sequences encoding PRGE. Such signals include the ATG initiation codon and
adjacent
sequences, e.g. the Kozak sequence. In cases where sequences encoding PRGE and
its initiation
codon and upstream regulatory sequences are inserted into the appropriate
expression vector, no
additional transcriptional or translational control signals may be needed.
However, in cases where
only coding sequence, or a fragment thereof,. is inserted, exogenous
translational control signals
including an in-frame ATG initiation codon should be provided by the vector.
Exogenous
translational elements and initiation codons may be of various origins, both
natural and synthetic.
The efficiency of expression may be enhanced by the inclusion of enhancers
appropriate for the
particular host cell system used. (See, e.g., Scharf, D. et al. ( 1994)
Results Probl. Cell Differ.
20:125-162.)
Methods which are well known to those skilled in the art may be used to
construct
expression vectors containing sequences encoding PRGE and appropriate
transcriptional and
translational control elements. These methods include in vitro recombinant DNA
techniques,
synthetic techniques, and in vivo genetic recombination. (See, e.g., Sambrook,
J. et al. (1989)
Molecular Cloning. A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Plainview
NY, ch. 4, 8, and
16-17; Ausubel, F.M. et al. (1995) Current Protocols in Molecular Biolo~v,
John Wiley & Sons,
New York NY, ch. 9, 13, and 16.)
A variety of expression vector/host systems may be utilized to contain and
express
sequences encoding PRGE. These include, but are not limited to, microorganisms
such as bacteria
transformed with recombinant bacteriophage, plasmid, or cosmid DNA expression
vectors; yeast
transformed with yeast expression vectors; insect cell systems infected with
viral expression
vectors (e.g., baculovirus); plant cell systems transformed with viral
expression vectors (e.g.,
cauliflower mosaic virus, CaMV, or tobacco mosaic virus,TMV) or with bacterial
expression
vectors (e.g., Ti or pBR322 plasmids); or animal cell systems. The invention
is not limited by the
host cell employed.
In bacterial systems, a number of cloning and expression vectors may be
selected
depending upon the use intended for polynucleotide sequences encoding PRGE.
For example,
routine cloning, subcioning, and propagation of polynucleotide sequences
encoding PRGE can be
achieved using a multifunctional E. coli vector such as PBLUESCRIPT
(Stratagene, La Jolla CA)
or pSPORTl plasmid (Life Technologies). Ligation of sequences encoding PRGE
into the
-21-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281
vector's multiple cloning site disrupts the IacZ gene, allowing a colorimetric
screening procedure
for identification of transformed bacteria containing recombinant molecules.
In addition, these
vectors may be useful for in vitro transcription, dideoxy sequencing, single
strand rescue with
helper phage, and creation of nested deletions in the cloned sequence. (See,
e.g., Van Heeke, G.
and S.M. Schuster (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264:5503-5509.) When large quantities
of PRGE are
needed, e.g. for the production of antibodies, vectors which direct high level
expression of PRGE
may be used. For example, vectors containing the strong, inducible TS or T7
bacteriophage
promoter may be used.
Yeast expression systems may be used for production of PRGE. A number of
vectors
containing constitutive or inducible promoters, such as alpha factor, alcohol
oxidase, and PGH,
may be used in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Pichia pastoris. In
addition, such vectors
direct either the secretion or intracellular retention of expressed proteins
and enable integration of
foreign sequences into the host genome for stable propagation. (See, e.g.,
Ausubel, 1995, supra;
Grant et al. ( 1987) Methods Enzymol. I 53:516-54; and Scorer, C. A. et al. (
1994) Bio/Technology
12:181-184.)
Plant systems may also be used for expression of PRGE. Transcription of
sequences
encoding PRGE may be driven viral promoters, e.g., the 355 and 19S promoters
of CaMV used
alone or in combination with the omega leader sequence from TMV (Takamatsu, N.
( 1987)
EMBO J. 6:307-311). Alternatively, plant promoters such as the small subunit
of RUBISCO or
heat shock promoters may be used. (See, e.g., Coruzzi, G. et al. (1984) EMBO
J. 3:1671-1680;
Brogue, R. et al. (1984} Science 224:838-843; and Winter, J. et al. (1991}
Results Probl. Cell
Differ. 17:85-105.) These constructs can be introduced into plant cells by
direct DNA
transformation or pathogen-mediated transfection. (See, e.g., The McGraw Hill
Yearbook of
Science and Technoloszv (1992) McGraw Hill, New York NY, pp. 191-196.)
In mammalian cells, a number of viral-based expression systems may be
utilized. In cases
where an adenovirus is used as an expression vector, sequences encoding PRGE
may be ligated
into an adenovirus transcription/translation complex consisting of the late
promoter and tripartite
leader sequence. Insertion in a non-essential E 1 or E3 region of the viral
genome may be used to
obtain infective virus which expresses PRGE in host cells. (See, e.g., Logan,
J. and T. Shenk
(1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 81:3655-3659.) In addition, transcription
enhancers, such as the
Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) enhancer, may be used to increase expression in
mammalian host cells.
SV40 or EBV-based vectors may also be used for high-level protein expression.
Human artificial chromosomes (HACs) may also be employed to deliver larger
fragments
of DNA than can be contained in and expressed from a plasmid. HACs of about 6
kb to 10 Mb
are constructed and delivered via conventional delivery methods (liposomes,
polycationic amino
-22-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCTlUS99/13281 -
polymers, or vesicles) for therapeutic purposes. (See, e.g., Harrington, J.J.
et al. ( 1997) Nat Genet.
15:345-355.)
For long term production of recombinant proteins in mammalian systems, stable
expression of PRGE in cell lines is preferred. For example, sequences encoding
PRGE can be
transformed into cell lines using expression vectors which may contain viral
origins of replication
and/or endogenous expression elements and a selectable marker gene on the same
or on a separate
vector. Following the introduction of the vector, cells may be allowed to grow
for about 1 to 2
days in enriched media before being switched to selective media. The purpose
of the selectable
marker is to confer resistance to a selective agent, and its presence allows
growth and recovery of
cells which successfully express the introduced sequences. Resistant clones of
stably transformed
cells may be propagated using tissue culture techniques appropriate to the
cell type.
Any number of selection systems may be used to recover transformed cell lines.
These
include, but are not limited to, the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase and
adenine
phosphoribosyltransferase genes, for use in tk or apr cells, respectively.
(See, e.g., Wigler, M. et
al. (1977) Cell 11:223-232; Lowy, I. et al. (1980) Cell 22:817-823.) Also,
antimetabolite,
antibiotic, or herbicide resistance can be used as the basis for selection.
For example, dhfr confers
resistance to methotrexate; neo confers resistance to the aminoglycosides,
neomycin and G-418;
and als or pat confer resistance to chlorsulfuron and phosphinotricin
acetyltransferase,
respectively. (See, e.g., Wigler, M. et al. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
77:3567-3570;
Colbere-Garapin, F. et al. (1981) J. Mol. Biol. 150:1-14.) Additional
selectable genes have been
described, e.g., trpB and hisD, which alter cellular requirements for
metabolites. (See, e.g.,
Hartman, S.C. and R.C. Mulligan (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 85:8047-8051.)
Visible markers,
e.g., anthocyanins, green fluorescent proteins (GFP; Clontech), Q
glucuronidase and its substrate
13-glucuronide, or luciferase and its substrate luciferin may be used. These
markers can be used
not only to identify transformants, but also to quantify the amount of
transient or stable protein
expression attributable to a specific vector system. (See, e.g., Rhodes, C.A.
(1995) Methods Mol.
Biol. 55:121-131.)
Although the presence/absence of marker gene expression suggests that the gene
of
interest is also present, the presence and expression of the gene may need to
be confirmed. For
example, if the sequence encoding PRGE is inserted within a marker gene
sequence, transformed
cells containing sequences encoding PRGE can be identified by the absence of
marker gene
function. Alternatively, a marker gene can be placed in tandem with a sequence
encoding PRGE
under the control of a single promoter. Expression of the marker gene in
response to induction or
selection usually indicates expression of the tandem gene as well.
In general, host cells that contain the nucleic acid sequence encoding PRGE
and that
-23-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
express PRGE may be identified by a variety of procedures known to those of
skill in the art.
These procedures include, but are not limited to, DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA
hybridizations, PCR
amplification, and protein bioassay or immunoassay techniques which include
membrane,
solution, or chip based technologies for the detection and/or quantification
of nucleic acid or
protein sequences.
Immunological methods for detecting and measuring the expression of PRGE using
either
specific polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies are known in the art. Examples of
such techniques
include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), radioimmunoassays (RIAs),
and
fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). A two-site, monoclonal-based
immunoassay utilizing
monoclonal antibodies reactive to two non-interfering epitopes on PRGE is
preferred, but a
competitive binding assay may be employed. These and other assays are well
known in the art.
(See, e.g., Hampton, R. et al. ( 1990) Serological Methods, a Laboratory
Manual, APS Press, St
Paul MN, Sect. IV; Coligan, J. E. et al. (1997) Current Protocols in
ImmunoloQV, Greene Pub.
Associates and Wiley-Interscience, New York NY; and Pound, J.D. (1998)
Immunochemical
IS Protocols, Humana Press, Totowa NJ).
A wide variety of labels and conjugation techniques are known by those skilled
in the art
and may be used in various nucleic acid and amino acid assays. Means for
producing labeled
hybridization or PCR probes for detecting sequences related to polynucleotides
encoding PRGE
include oligolabeling, nick translation, end-labeling, or PCR amplification
using a labeled
nucleotide. Alternatively, the sequences encoding PRGE, or any fragments
thereof, may be
cloned into a vector for the production of an mRNA probe. Such vectors are
known in the art, are
commercially available, and may be used to synthesize RNA probes in vitro by
addition of an
appropriate RNA polymerise such as T7, T3, or SP6 and labeled nucleotides.
These procedures
may be conducted using a variety of commercially available kits, such as those
provided by
Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Promega (Madison WI), and US Biochemical. Suitable
reporter
molecules or labels which may be used for ease of detection include
radionuclides, enzymes,
fluorescent, chemiluminescent, or chromogenic agents, as well as substrates,
cofactors, inhibitors,
magnetic particles, and the like.
Host cells transformed with nucleotide sequences encoding PRGE may be cultured
under
conditions suitable for the expression and recovery of the protein from cell
culture. The protein
produced by a transformed cell may be secreted or retained intracellularly
depending on the
sequence and/or the vector used. As will be understood by those of skill in
the art, expression
vectors containing polynucleotides which encode PRGE may be designed to
contain signal
sequences which direct secretion of PRGE through a prokaryotic or eukaryotic
cell membrane.
In addition, a host cell strain may be chosen for its ability to modulate
expression of the
_29_


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
inserted sequences or to process the expressed protein in the desired fashion.
Such modifications
ofthe polypeptide include, but are not limited to, acetylation, carboxylation,
glycosylation,
phosphorylation, lipidation, and acylation. Post-translational processing
which cleaves a "prepro"
fonm of the protein may also be used to specify protein targeting, folding,
and/or activity.
Different host cells which have specific cellular machinery and characteristic
mechanisms for
post-translational activities (e.g., CHO, HeLa, MDCK, HEK293, and WI38), are
available from
the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Bethesda MD) and may be chosen to
ensure the
correct modification and processing of the foreign protein.
In another embodiment of the invention, natural, modified, or recombinant
nucleic acid
sequences encoding PRGE may be ligated to a heterologous sequence resulting in
translation of a
fusion protein in any of the aforementioned host systems. For example, a
chimeric PRGE protein
containing a heterologous moiety that can be recognized by a commercially
available antibody
may facilitate the screening of peptide libraries for inhibitors of PRGE
activity. Heterologous
protein and peptide moieties may also facilitate purification of fusion
proteins using commercially
available affinity matrices. Such moieties include, but are not limited to,
glutathione S-transferase
(GST), maltose binding protein (MBP), thioredoxin (Trx), calmodulin binding
peptide (CBP), 6-
His, FLAG, c-myc, and hemagglutinin (HA). GST, MBP, Trx, (:BP, and 6-His
enable purification
oftheir cognate fusion proteins on immobilized glutathione, maltose,
phenylarsine oxide,
calmodulin, and metal-chelate resins, respectively. FLAG, c-myc, and
hemagglutinin (HA) enable
immunoaffinity purification of fusion proteins using commercially available
monoclonal and
polyclonal antibodies that specifically recognize these epitope tags. A fusion
protein may also be
engineered to contain a proteolytic cleavage site located between the PRGE
encoding sequence
and the heterologous protein sequence, so that PRGE may be cleaved away from
the heterologous
moiety following purification. Methods for fusion protein expression and
purification are
discussed in Ausubel ( 1995, supra, ch 10). A variety of commercially
available kits may also be
used to facilitate expression and purification of fusion proteins.
In a further embodiment of the invention, synthesis of radiolabeled PRGE may
be
achieved in vitro using the TNT rabbit reticulocyte lysate or wheat germ
extract systems
(Promega). These systems couple transcription and translation of protein-
coding sequences
operably associated with the T7, T3, or SP6 promoters. Translation takes place
in the presence of
a radiolabeled amino acid precursor, preferably 'SS-methionine.
Fragments of PRGE may be produced not only by recombinant production, but also
by
direct peptide synthesis using solid-phase techniques. (See, e.g., Creighton,
s-upra, pp. 55-60.)
Protein synthesis may be performed by manual techniques or by automation.
Automated synthesis
may be achieved, for example, using the ABI 431A Peptide Synthesizer (Perkin-
Elmer). Various
-25-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCTNS99/13281
fragments of PRGE may be synthesized separately and then combined to produce
the full length
molecule.
THERAPEUTICS
Chemical and structural similarity, e.g., in the context of sequences and
motifs, exists
between regions of PRGE and proteins regulating gene expression. In addition,
the expression of
PRGE is closely associated with cancer and other cell pro(iferative
conditions, differentiated cells,
inflammation and the immune response, and is found in reproductive and nervous
system tissues.
Therefore, PRGE appears to play a role in reproductive disorders, nervous
disorders, and diseases
associated with cell proliferation and differentiation, including cancer,
immune disorders, and
developmental disorders. In the treatment of the above conditions associated
with increased
PRGE expression or activity, it is desirable to decrease the expression or
activity of PRGE. In the
treatment of the above conditions associated with decreased PRGE expression or
activity, it is
desirable to increase the expression or activity of PRGE.
Therefore, in one embodiment, PRGE or a fragment or derivative thereof may be
administered to a subject to treat or prevent a disorder associated with
decreased expression or
activity of PRGE. Examples of such a disorder include, but are not limited to,
a reproductive
disorder such as disorders of prolactin production; infertility, including
tubal disease, ovulatory
defects, and endometriosis; disruptions of the estrous cycle, disruptions of
the menstrual cycle,
polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, endometrial and
ovarian tumors,
uterine fibroids, autoimmune disorders, ectopic pregnancies, and
teratogenesis; cancer of the
breast, fibrocystic breast disease, and galactorrhea; disruptions of
spermatogenesis, abnormal
sperm physiology, cancer of the testis, cancer of the prostate, benign
prostatic hyperplasia,
prostatitis, Peyronie's disease, impotence, carcinoma of the male breast, and
gynecomastia; and a
nervous disorder such as epilepsy, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, stroke,
cerebral neoplasms,
Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, Huntington's disease, dementia,
Parkinson's disease and
other extrapyramidal disorders, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other motor
neuron disorders,

chorea and cerebral palsy, spina bifida, anencephaly, craniorachischisis,
congenital glaucoma,
cataract, sensorineural hearing loss, and any disorder associated with cell
growth and
differentiation, embryogenesis, and morphogenesis involving any tissue, organ,
or system of a
subject, e.g., the brain, adrenal gland, kidney, skeletal or reproductive
system.
In another embodiment, a vector capable of expressing PRGE or a fragment or
derivative
thereof may be administered to a subject to treat or prevent a disorder
associated with decreased
expression or activity of PRGE including, but not limited to, those described
above.
In a further embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a
substantially
purified PRGE in conjunction with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier may be
administered to a
subject to treat or prevent a disorder associated with decreased expression or
activity of PRGE
including, but not limited to, those provided above.
In still another embodiment, an agonist which modulates the activity of PRGE
may be
administered to a subject to treat or prevent a disorder associated with
decreased expression or
activity of PRGE including, but not limited to, those listed above.
In a further embodiment, an antagonist of PRGE may be administered to a
subject to treat
or prevent a disorder associated with increased expression or activity of
PRGE. Examples of such
disorders include, but are not limited to, those described above. In one
aspect, an antibody which
specifically binds PRGE may be used directly as an antagonist or indirectly as
a targeting or
delivery mechanism for bringing a pharmaceutical agent to cells or tissue
which express PRGE.
In an additional embodiment, a vector expressing the complement of the
polynucleotide
encoding PRGE may be administered to a subject to treat or prevent a disorder
associated with
increased expression or activity of PRGE including, but not limited to, those
described above.
In other embodiments, any of the proteins, antagonists, antibodies, agonists,
complementary sequences, or vectors of the invention may be administered in
combination with
other appropriate therapeutic agents. Selection of the appropriate agents for
use in combination
therapy may be made by one of ordinary skill in the art, according to
conventional pharmaceutical
principles. The combination of therapeutic agents may act synergistically to
effect the treatment
or prevention of the various disorders described above. Using this approach,
one may be able to
achieve therapeutic efficacy with lower dosages of each agent, thus reducing
the potential for
adverse side effects.
An antagonist of PRGE may be produced using methods which are generally known
in the
art. In particular, purified PRGE may be used to produce antibodies or to
screen libraries of
pharmaceutical agents to identify those which specifically bind PRGE.
Antibodies to PRGE may
also be generated using methods that are well known in the art. Such
antibodies may include, but
are not limited to, polyclonal, monoclonal, chimeric, and single chain
antibodies, Fab fragments,
-28-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
and fragments produced by a Fab expression library. Neutralizing antibodies
(i.e., those which
inhibit dimer formation) are especially preferred for therapeutic use.
For the production of antibodies, various hosts including goats, rabbits,
rats, mice,
humans, and others may be immunized by injection with PRGE or with any
fragment or
oligopeptide thereof which has immunogenic properties. Depending on the host
species, various
adjuvants may be used to increase immunological response. Such adjuvants
include, but are not
limited to, Freund's, mineral gels such as aluminum hydroxide, and surface
active substances such
as lysolecithin, pluronic polyols, polyanions, peptides, oil emulsions, KLH,
and dinitrophenol.
Among adjuvants used in humans, BCG (bacilli Calmette-Guerin) and
Corynebacterium parvum
are especially preferable.
It is preferred that the oligopeptides, peptides, or fragments used to induce
antibodies to
PRGE have an amino acid sequence consisting of at least about 5 amino acids,
and, more
preferably, of at least about 10 amino acids. It is also preferable that these
oligopeptides, peptides,
or fragments are identical to a portion of the amino acid sequence of the
natural protein and
I S contain the entire amino acid sequence of a small, naturally occurring
molecule. Short stretches of
PRGE amino acids may be fused with those of another protein, such as KLH, and
antibodies to the
chimeric molecule may be produced.
Monoclonal antibodies to PRGE may be prepared using any technique which
provides for
the production of antibody molecules by continuous cell lines in culture.
These include, but are
not limited to, the hybridoma technique, the human B-cell hybridoma technique,
and the EBV-
hybridoma technique. (See, e.g., Kohler, G. et al. (1975) Nature 256:495-497;
Kozbor, D. et al.
(1985) J. Immunol. Methods 81:31-42; Cote, R.J. et al. (1983) Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci.
80:2026-2030; and Cole, S.P. et al. (1984) Mol. Cell Biol. 62:109-120.)
In addition, techniques developed for the production of "chimeric antibodies,"
such as the
splicing of mouse antibody genes to human antibody genes to obtain a molecule
with appropriate
antigen specificity and biological activity, can be used. (See, e.g.,
Morrison, S.L. et al. (1984)
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 81:6851-6855; Neuberger, M.S. et al. (1984) Nature
312:604-608; and
Takeda, S. et al. ( 1985) Nature 314:452-454.) Alternatively, techniques
described for the
production of single chain antibodies may be adapted, using methods known in
the art, to produce
PRGE-specific single chain antibodies. Antibodies with related specificity,
but of distinct
idiotypic composition, may be generated by chain shuffling from random
combinatorial
immunoglobulin libraries. (See, e.g., Burton D.R. (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad.
Sci. 88:10134-10137.)
Antibodies may also be produced by inducing in vivo production in the
lymphocyte
population or by screening immunoglobulin libraries or panels of highly
specific binding reagents
as disclosed in the literature. (See, e.g., Orlandi, R. et al. (1989) Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. 86:
-29-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
3833-3837; Winter, G. et al. (1991) Nature 349:293-299.)
Antibody fragments which contain specific binding sites for PRGE may also be
generated.
For example, such fragments include, but are not limited to, F(ab')2 fragments
produced by
pepsin digestion of the antibody molecule and Fab fragments generated by
reducing the disulfide
S bridges of the F(ab')2 fragments. Alternatively, Fab expression libraries
may be constructed to
allow rapid and easy identification of monoclonal Fab fragments with the
desired specificity.
(See, e.g., Huse, W.D. et al. (1989) Science 246:1275-1281.)
Various immunoassays may be used for screening to identify antibodies having
the
desired specificity. Numerous protocols for competitive binding or
immunoradiometric assays
using either polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies with established
specificities are well known in
the art. Such immunoassays typically involve the measurement of complex
formation between
PRGE and its specific antibody. A two-site, monoclonal-based immunoassay
utilizing monoclonal
antibodies reactive to two non-interfering PRGE epitopes is preferred, but a
competitive binding
assay may also be employed (Pound, supra).
Various methods such as Scatchard analysis in conjunction with
radioimmunoassay
techniques may be used to assess the affinity of antibodies for PRGE. Affinity
is expressed as an
association constant, K" which is defined as the molar concentration of PRGE-
antibody complex
divided by the molar concentrations of free antigen and free antibody under
equilibrium
conditions. The K, determined for a preparation of polyclonal antibodies,
.which are
heterogeneous in their affinities for multiple PRGE epitopes, represents the
average affinity, or
avidity, of the antibodies for PRGE. The K, determined for a preparation of
monoclonal
antibodies, which are monospecific for a particular PRGE epitope, represents a
true measure of
affinity. High-affinity antibody preparations with K, ranging from about 109
to 10'2 L/mole are
preferred for use in immunoassays in which the PRGE-antibody complex must
withstand rigorous
manipulations. Low-affinity antibody preparations with K, ranging from about
106 to 10' L/mole
are preferred for use in immunopurification and similar procedures which
ultimately require
dissociation of PRGE, preferably in active form, from the antibody (Catty, D.
(1988) Antibodies,
Volume I: A Practical Approach, IRL Press, Washington, DC; Liddell, J. E. and
Cryer, A. (1991)
A Practical Guide to Monoclonal Antibodies, John Wiley & Sons, New York NY).
The titer and avidity of polyclonal antibody preparations may be further
evaluated to
determine the quality and suitability of such preparations for certain
downstream applications. For
example, a polyclonal antibody preparation containing at least 1-2 mg specific
antibody/ml,
preferably 5-10 mg specific antibody/ml, is preferred for use in procedures
requiring precipitation
of PRGE-antibody complexes. Procedures for evaluating antibody specificity,
titer, and avidity,
and guidelines for antibody quality and usage in various applications, are
generally available.

(See, e.g., Catty, supra, and Coligan et al. su ra.)
In another embodiment of the invention, the polynucleotides encoding PRGE, or
any
fragment or complement.thereof, may be used for therapeutic purposes. In one
aspect, the
complement of the polynucleotide encoding PRGE may be used in situations in
which it would be
desirable to block the transcription of the mRNA. In particular, cells may be
transformed with
sequences complementary to polynucleotides encoding PRGE. Thus, complementary
molecules
or fragments may be used to modulate PRGE activity, or to achieve regulation
of gene function.
Such technology is now well known in the art, and sense or antisense
oligonucleotides or larger
fragments can be designed from various locations along the coding or control
regions of sequences
encoding PRGE.
Expression vectors derived from retroviruses, adenoviruses, or herpes or
vaccinia viruses,
or from various bacterial plasmids, may be used for delivery of nucleotide
sequences to the
targeted organ, tissue, or cell population. Methods which are well known to
those skilled in the art
can be used to construct vectors to express nucleic acid sequences
complementary to the
polynucleotides encoding PRGE. (See, e.g., Sambrook, supra; Ausubel, 1995, su
ra.)
Genes encoding PRGE can be turned off by transforming a cell or tissue with
expression
vectors which express high levels of a polynucleotide, or fragment thereof,
encoding PRGE. Such
constructs may be used to introduce untranslatable sense or antisense
sequences into a cell. Even
in the absence of integration into the DNA, such vectors may continue to
transcribe RNA
molecules until they are disabled by endogenous nucleases. Transient
expression may last for a
month or more with a non-replicating vector, and may last even longer if
appropriate replication
elements are part of the vector system.
As mentioned above, modifications of gene expression can be obtained by
designing
complementary sequences or antisense molecules (DNA, RNA, or PNA) to the
control, 5', or
regulatory regions of the gene encoding PRGE. Oligonucleotides derived from
the transcription
initiation site, e.g., between about positions -10 and +10 from the start
site, are preferred.
Similarly, inhibition can be achieved using triple helix base-pairing
methodology. Triple helix
pairing is useful because it causes inhibition of the ability of the double
helix to open sufficiently
for the binding of polymerises, transcription factors, or regulatory
molecules. Recent therapeutic
advances using Mplex DNA have been described in the literature. (See, e.g.,
Gee, J.E. et al.
(1994) in Huber, B.E. and B.I. Can, Molecular and Immunologic Awroaches,
Futura Publishing,
Mt. Kisco NY, pp. 163-177.) A complementary sequence or antisense molecule may
also be
designed to block translation of mRNA by preventing the transcript from
binding to ribosomes.
Ribozymes, enzymatic RNA molecules, may also be used to catalyze the specific
cleavage
of RNA. The mechanism of ribozyme action involves sequence-specific
hybridization of the
-31-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 -
ribozyme molecule to complementary target RNA, followed by endonucleolytic
cleavage. For
example, engineered hammerhead motif ribozyme molecules may specifically and
efficiently
catalyze endonucleolytic cleavage of sequences encoding PRGE..
Specific ribozyme cleavage sites within any potential RNA target are initially
identified by
scanning the.target molecule for ribozyme cleavage sites, including the
following sequences:
GUA, GUU, and GUC. Once identified, short RNA sequences of between 15 and 20
ribonucleotides, corresponding to the region of the target gene containing the
cleavage site, may
be evaluated for secondary structural features which may render the
oligonucleotide inoperable.
The suitability of candidate targets may also be evaluated by testing
accessibility to hybridization
with complementary oligonucleotides using ribonuclease protection assays.
Complementary ribonucleic acid molecules and ribozymes of the invention may be
prepared by any method known in the art for the synthesis of nucleic acid
molecules. These
include techniques for chemically synthesizing oligonucleotides such as solid
phase
phosphoramidite chemical synthesis. Alternatively, RNA molecules may be
generated by in vitro
IS and in vivo transcription of DNA sequences encoding PRGE. Such DNA
sequences may be
incorporated into a wide variety of vectors with suitable RNA polymerise
promoters such as T7 or
SP6. Alternatively, these cDNA constructs that synthesize complementary RNA,
constitutively or
inducibly, can be introduced into cell lines, cells, or tissues.
RNA molecules may be modified to increase intracellular stability and half
life. Possible
modifications include, but are not limited to, the addition of flanking
sequences at the 5' and/or 3'
ends of the molecule, or the use of phosphorothioate or 2' O-methyl rather
than phosphodiesterase
linkages within the backbone of the molecule. This concept is inherent in the
production of PNAs
and can be extended in all of these molecules by the inclusion of
nontraditional bases such as
inosine, queosine, and wybutosine, as well as acetyl-, methyl-, thio-, and
similarly modified forms
of adenine, cytidine, guanine, thymine, and uridine which are not as easily
recognized by
endogenous endonucleases.
Many methods for introducing vectors into cells or tissues are available and
equally
suitable for use in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo. For ex vivo therapy, vectors
may be introduced into
stem cells taken from the patient and clonally propagated for autologous
transplant back into that
same patient. Delivery by transfection, by liposome injections, or by
polycationic amino polymers
may be achieved using methods which are well known in the art. (See, e.g.,
Goldman, C.K. et al.
(1997) Nature Biotechnology 15:462-466.)
Any of the therapeutic methods described above may be applied to any subject
in need of
such therapy, including, for example, mammals such as dogs, cats, cows,
horses, rabbits,
monkeys, and most preferably, humans.

An additional embodiment of the invention relates to the administration of a
pharmaceutical or sterile composition, in conjunction with a pharmaceutically
acceptable carrier,
for any of the therapeutic effects discussed above. Such pharmaceutical
compositions may consist
of PRGE, antibodies to PRGE, and mimetics, agonists, antagonists, or
inhibitors of PRGE. The
compositions may be administered alone or in combination with at least one
other agent, such as a
stabilizing compound, which may be administered in any sterile, biocompatible
pharmaceutical
carrier including, but not limited to, saline, buffered saline, dextrose, and
water. The compositions
may be administered to a patient alone, or in combination with other agents,
drugs, or hormones.
The pharmaceutical compositions utilized in this invention may be administered
by any
number of routes including, but not limited to, oral, intravenous,
intramuscular, infra-arterial,
intramedullary, intrathecal, intraventricular, transdermal, subcutaneous,
intraperitoneal, intranasal,
enteral, topical, sublingual, or rectal means.
In addition to the active ingredients, these pharmaceutical compositions may
contain
suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers comprising excipients and
auxiliaries which
IS facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations which can
be used
pharmaceutically. Further details on techniques for formulation and
administration may be found
in the latest edition of Remin on's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Maack Publishing,
Easton PA).
Pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration can be formulated using
pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art in dosages suitable
for oral
administration. Such carriers enable the pharmaceutical compositions to be
formulated as tablets,
pills, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions, and
the like, for ingestion by
the patient.
Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained through combining
active
compounds with solid excipient and processing the resultant mixture of
granules (optionally, after
grinding) to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable auxiliaries can be
added, if desired. Suitable
excipients include carbohydrate or protein fillers, such as sugars, including
lactose, sucrose,
mannitol, and sorbitol; starch from corn, wheat, rice, potato, or other
plants; cellulose, such as
methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, or sodium
carboxymethylcellulose; gums,
including arabic and tragacanth; and proteins, such as gelatin and collagen.
If desired,
disintegrating or solubilizing agents may be added, such as the cross-linked
polyvinyl pyrrolidone,
agar, and alginic acid or a salt thereof, such as sodium alginate.
Dragee cores may be used in conjunction with suitable coatings, such as
concentrated
sugar solutions, which may also contain gum arabic, talc,
polyvinylpyrrolidone, carbopol gel,
polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable
organic solvents or
solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee
coatings for
-33-

WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
product identification or to characterize the quantity of active compound,
i.e., dosage.
Pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include push-fit capsules
made of
gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a coating, such
as glycerol or sorbitol.
Push-fit capsules can contain active ingredients mixed with fillers or
binders, such as lactose or
starches, lubricants, such as talc or magnesium stearate, and, optionally,
stabilizers. In soft
capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable
liquids, such as fatty
oils, liquid, or liquid polyethylene glycol with or without stabilizers.
Pharmaceutical formulations suitable for parenterai administration may be
formulated in
aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as
Hanks' solution,
Ringer's solution, or physiologically buffered saline. Aqueous injection
suspensions may contain
substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium
carboxymethyl
cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Additionally, suspensions of the active
compounds may be
prepared as appropriate oily injection suspensions. Suitable lipophilic
solvents or vehicles include
fatty oils, such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl
oleate, triglycerides, or
liposomes. Non-lipid polycationic amino polymers may also be used for
delivery. Optionally, the
suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents to increase the
solubility of the
compounds and allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.
For topical or nasal administration, penetrants appropriate to the particular
barrier to be
permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in
the art.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be manufactured
in a
manner that is known in the art, e.g., by means of conventional mixing,
dissolving, granulating,
dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, or
lyophilizing processes.
The pharmaceutical composition may be provided as a salt and can be foamed
with many
acids, including but not limited to, hydrochloric, sulfuric, acetic, lactic,
tartaric, malic, and
succinic acid. Salts tend to be more soluble in aqueous or other protonic
solvents than are the
corresponding free base forms. In other cases, the preferred preparation may
be a lyophilized
powder which may contain any or all of the following: 1 mM to 50 mM histidine,
0.1 % to 2%
sucrose, and 2% to 7% mannitol, at a pH range of 4.5 to 5.5, that is combined
with buffer prior to
use.
After pharmaceutical compositions have been prepared, they can be placed in an
appropriate container and labeled for treatment of an indicated condition. For
administration of
PRGE, such labeling would include amount, frequency, and method of
administration.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for use in the invention include
compositions
wherein the active ingredients are contained in an effective amount to achieve
the intended
purpose. The determination of an effective dose is well within the capability
of those skilled in the
-39-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCTIUS99/13281 _
art.
For any compound, the therapeutically effective dose can be estimated
initially either in
cell culture assays, e.g., of neoplastic cells or in animal models such as
mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, or
pigs. An animal model may also be used to determine the appropriate
concentration range and
route of administration. Such information can then be used to determine useful
doses and routes
for administration in humans.
A therapeutically effective dose refers to that amount of active ingredient,
for example
PRGE or fragments thereof, antibodies of PRGE, and agonists, antagonists or
inhibitors of PRGE,
which ameliorates the symptoms or condition. Therapeutic efficacy and toxicity
may be
determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or with
experimental animals,
such as by calculating the EDS° (the dose therapeutically effective in
50% of the population) or
LDs° (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) statistics. The dose
ratio of toxic to therapeutic
effects is the therapeutic index, and it can be expressed as the
LD5°/ED5° ratio. Pharmaceutical
compositions which exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. The data
obtained from cell
IS culture assays and animal studies are used to formulate a range of dosage
for human use. The
dosage contained in such compositions is preferably within a range of
circulating concentrations
that includes the EDS° with little or no toxicity. The dosage varies
within this range depending
upon the dosage form employed, the sensitivity of the patient, and the route
of administration.
The exact dosage will be determined by the practitioner, in light of factors
related to the
subject requiring treatment. Dosage and administration are adjusted to provide
sufficient levels of
the active moiety or to maintain the desired effect. Factors which may be
taken into account
include the severity of the disease state, the general health of the subject,
the age, weight, and
gender of the subject, time and frequency of administration, drug
combination(s), reaction
sensitivities, and response to therapy. Long-acting pharmaceutical
compositions may be
administered every 3 to 4 days, every week, or biweekly depending on the half
life and clearance
rate of the particular formulation.
Normal dosage amounts may vary from about 0.1 /cg to 100,000 /sg, up to a
total dose of
about 1 gram, depending upon the route of administration. Guidance as to
particular dosages and
methods of delivery is provided in the literature and generally available to
practitioners in the art.
Those skilled in the art will employ different formulations for nucleotides
than for proteins or their
inhibitors. Similarly, delivery of polynucleotides or polypeptides will be
specific to particular
cells, conditions, locations, etc.
DIAGNOSTICS
In another embodiment, antibodies which specifically bind PRGE may be used for
the
diagnosis of disorders characterized by expression of PRGE, or in assays to
monitor patients being
-35-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
treated with PRGE or agonists, antagonists, or inhibitors of PRGE. Antibodies
useful for
diagnostic purposes may be prepared in the same manner as described above for
therapeutics.
Diagnostic assays for PRGE include methods which utilize the antibody and a
label to detect
PRGE in human body fluids or in extracts of cells or tissues. The antibodies
may be used with or
without modification, and may be labeled by covalent or non-covalent
attachment of a reporter
molecule. A wide variety of reporter molecules, several of which are described
above, are known
in the art and may be used.
A variety of protocols for measuring PRGE, including ELISAs, RIAs, and FACS,
are
known in the art and provide a basis for diagnosing altered or abnormal levels
of PRGE
expression. Normal or standard values for PRGE expression are established by
combining body
fluids or cell extracts taken from normal mammalian subjects, preferably
human, with antibody to
PRGE under conditions suitable for complex formation. The amount of standard
complex
formation may be quantitated by various methods, preferably by photometric
means. Quantities of
PRGE expressed in subject, control, and disease samples from biopsied tissues
are compared with
the standard values. Deviation between standard and subject values establishes
the parameters for
diagnosing disease.
In another embodiment of the invention, the polynucleotides encoding PRGE may
be used
for diagnostic purposes. The polynucleotides which may be used include
oligonucleotide
sequences, complementary RNA and DNA molecules, and PNAs. The polynucleotides
may be
used to detect and quantitate gene expression in biopsied tissues in which
expression of PRGE
may be correlated with disease. The diagnostic assay may be used to determine
absence,
presence, and excess expression of PRGE, and to monitor regulation of PRGE
levels during
therapeutic intervention.
In one aspect, hybridization with PCR probes which are capable of detecting
polynucleotide sequences, including genomic sequences, encoding PRGE or
closely related
molecules may be used to identify nucieic acid sequences which encode PRGE.
The specificity of
the probe, whether it is made from a highly specific region, e.g., the 5'
regulatory region, or from a
less specific region, e.g., a conserved motif, and the stringency of the
hybridization or
amplification (maximal, high, intermediate, or low), will determine whether
the probe identifies
only naturally occurring sequences encoding PRGE, allelic variants, or related
sequences.
Probes may also be used for the detection of related sequences, and should
preferably
have at least 50% sequence identity to any of the PRGE encoding sequences. The
hybridization
probes of the subject invention may be DNA or RNA and may be derived from the
sequence of
SEQ ID N0:32-62 or from genomic sequences including promoters, enhancers, and
introns of the
PRGE gene.

WO 99/64596 PCT/ITS99/13281 _
Means for producing specific hybridization probes for DNAs encoding PRGE
include the
cloning of polynucleotide sequences encoding PRGE or PRGE derivatives into
vectors for the
production of mRNA probes. Such vectors are known in the art, are commercially
available, and
may be used to synthesize RNA probes in vitro by means of the addition of the
appropriate RNA
polymerases and the appropriate labeled nucleotides. Hybridization probes may
be labeled by a
variety of reporter groups, for example, by radionuclides such as'ZP or'SS, or
by enzymatic labels,
such as alkaline phosphatase coupled to the probe via avidin/biotin coupling
systems, and the like.
Polynucleotide sequences encoding PRGE may be used for the diagnosis of
disorders
associated with expression of PRGE. Examples of such a disorder include, but
are not limited to, a
reproductive disorder such as disorders of prolactin production; infertility,
including tubal disease,
ovulatory defects, and endometriosis; disruptions of the estrous cycle,
disruptions of the menstrual
cycle, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome,
endometrial and ovarian
tumors, uterine fibroids, autoimmune disorders, ectopic pregnancies, and
teratogenesis; cancer of
the breast, fibrocystic breast disease, and galactorrhea; disruptions of
spermatogenesis, abnormal
sperm physiology, cancer of the testis, cancer of the prostate, benign
prostatic hyperplasia,
prostatitis, Peyronie's disease, impotence, carcinoma of the male breast, and
gynecomastia; and a
nervous disorder such as epilepsy, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, stroke,
cerebral neoplasms,
Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, Huntington's disease, dementia,
Parkinson's disease and
other extrapyramidal disorders, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other motor
neuron disorders,

The polynucleotide sequences encoding PRGE may be used in Southern or northern
analysis, dot blot, or other membrane-based technologies; in PCR technologies;
in dipstick, pin,
and multiformat ELISA-like assays; and in microarrays utilizing fluids or
tissues from patients to
-38-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
detect altered PRGE expression. Such qualitative or quantitative methods are
well known in the
art.
In a particular aspect, the nucleotide sequences encoding PRGE may be useful
in assays
that detect the presence of associated disorders, particularly those mentioned
above. The
nucleotide sequences encoding PRGE may be labeled by standard methods and
added to a fluid or
tissue sample from a patient under conditions suitable for the formation of
hybridization
complexes. After a suitable incubation period, the sample is washed and the
signal is quantitated
and compared with a standard value. If the amount of signal in the patient
sample is significantly
altered in comparison to a control sample then the presence of altered levels
of nucleotide
sequences encoding PRGE in the sample indicates the presence of the associated
disorder. Such
assays may also be used to evaluate the efficacy of a particular therapeutic
treatment regimen in
animal studies, in clinical trials, or to monitor the treatment of an
individual patient.
In order to provide a basis for the diagnosis of a disorder associated with
expression of
PRGE, a normal or standard profile for expression is established. This may be
accomplished by
combining body fluids or cell extracts taken from normal subjects, either
animal or human, with a
sequence, or a fragment thereof, encoding PRGE, under conditions suitable for
hybridization or
amplification. Standard hybridization may be quantified by comparing the
values obtained from
normal subjects with values from an experiment in which a known amount of a
substantially
purified polynucleotide is used. Standard values obtained in this manner may
be compared with
values obtained from samples from patients who are symptomatic for a disorder.
Deviation from
standard values is used to establish the presence of a disorder.
Once the presence of a disorder is established and a treatment protocol is
initiated,
hybridization assays may be repeated on a regular basis to determine if the
level of expression in
the patient begins to approximate that which is observed in the normal
subject. The results
obtained from successive assays may be used to show the efficacy of treatment
over a period
ranging from several days to months.
With respect to cancer, the presence of an abnormal amount of transcript
(either under- or
overexpressed) in biopsied tissue from an individual may indicate a
predisposition for the
development of the disease, or may provide a means for detecting the disease
prior to the
appearance of actual clinical symptoms. A more definitive diagnosis of this
type may allow health
professionals to employ preventative measures or aggressive treatment earlier
thereby preventing
the development or further progression of the cancer.
Additional diagnostic uses for oligonucleotides designed from the sequences
encoding
PRGE may involve the use of PCR. These oligomers may be chemically
synthesized, generated
enzymatically, or produced in vitro. Oligomers will preferably contain a
fragment of a
-39-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
polynucleotide encoding PRGE, or a fragment of a polynucleotide complementary
to the
polynucleotide encoding PRGE, and will be employed under optimized conditions
for
identification of a specific gene or condition. Oligomers may also be employed
under less
stringent conditions for detection or quantitation of closely related DNA or
RNA sequences.
Methods which may also be used to quantitate the expression of PRGE include
radiolabeling or biotinylating nucleotides, coamplification of a control
nucleic acid, and
interpolating results from standard curves. (See, e.g., Melby, P.C. et al.
(1993) J. Immunol.
Methods 159:235-244; Duplaa, C. et al. (1993) Anal. Biochem. 229-236.) The
speed of
quantitation of multiple samples may be accelerated by running the assay in an
ELISA format
where the oligomer of interest is presented in various dilutions and a
spectrophotometric or
colorimetric response gives rapid quantitation.
In further embodiments, oligonucleotides or longer fragments derived from any
of the
polynucleotide sequences described herein may be used as targets in a
microarray. The
microarray can be used to monitor the expression level of large numbers of
genes simultaneously
and to identify genetic variants, mutations, and polymorphisms. This
information may be used to
determine gene function, to understand the genetic basis of a disorder, to
diagnose a disorder, and
to develop and monitor the activities of therapeutic agents.
Microarrays may be prepared, used, and analyzed using methods known in the
art. (See,
e.g., Brennan, T.M. et al. (1995) U.S. Patent No. 5,474,796; Schena, M. et al.
(1996} Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. 93:10614-10619; Baldeschweiler et al. (1995) PCT application
W095/251116; Shalom
D. et al. (1995) PCT application W095/35505; Heller, R.A. et al. (1997) Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci.
94:2150-2155; and Heller, M.J. et al. ( 1997) U.S. Patent No. 5,605,662.)
In another embodiment of the invention, nucleic acid sequences encoding PRGE
may be
used to generate hybridization probes useful in mapping the naturally
occurring genomic
sequence. The sequences may be mapped to a particular chromosome, to a
specific region of a
chromosome, or to artificial chromosome constructions, e.g., human artificial
chromosomes
(HACs), yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), bacterial artificial chromosomes
(BACs), bacterial
P1 constructions, or single chromosome cDNA libraries. (See, e.g., Harrington,
J.J. et al. (1997)
Nat Genet. 15:345-355; Price, C.M. (1993) Blood Rev. 7:127-134; and Trask,
B.J. (1991) Trends
Genet. 7:149-154.)
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) may be correlated with other physical
chromosome mapping techniques and genetic map data. (See, e.g., Heinz-Ulrich,
et al. (1995) in
Meyers, su ra, pp. 965-968.} Examples of genetic map data can be found in
various scientific
journals or at the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) site.
Correlation between the
location of the gene encoding PRGE on a physical chromosomal map and a
specific disorder, or a
-40-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/I3281 _
predisposition to a specific disorder, may help define the region of DNA
associated with that
disorder. The nucleotide sequences of the invention may be used to detect
differences in gene
sequences among normal, carrier, and affected individuals.
In situ hybridization of chromosomal preparations and physical mapping
techniques, such
as linkage analysis using established chromosomal markers, may be used for
extending genetic
maps. Often the placement of a gene on the chromosome of another mammalian
species, such as
mouse, may reveal associated markers even if the number or arm of a particular
human
chromosome is not known. New sequences can be assigned to chromosomal arms by
physical
mapping. This provides valuable information to investigators searching for
disease genes using
positional cloning or other gene discovery techniques. Once the disease or
syndrome has been
crudely localized by genetic linkage to a particular genomic region, e.g.,
ataxia-telangiectasia to
l 1q22-23, any sequences mapping to that area may represent associated or
regulatory genes for
further investigation. (See, e.g., Gatti, R.A. et al. ( 1988) Nature 336:577-
580.) The nucleotide
sequence of the subject invention may also be used to detect differences in
the chromosomal
location due to translocation, inversion, etc., among normal, carrier, or
affected individuals.
In another embodiment of the invention, PRGE, its catalytic or immunogenic
fragments,
or oligopeptides thereof can be used for screening libraries of compounds in
any of a variety of
drug screening techniques. The fragment employed in such screening may be free
in solution,
affixed to a solid support, borne on a cell surface, or located
intracellularly. The formation of
binding complexes between PRGE and the agent being tested may be measured.
Another technique for drug screening provides for high throughput screening of
compounds having suitable binding affinity to the protein of interest. (See,
e.g., Geysen, et al.
( 1984) PCT application W084/03564.) In this method, large numbers of
different small test
compounds are synthesized on a solid substrate. The test compounds are reacted
with PRGE, or
fragments thereof, and washed. Bound PRGE is then detected by methods well
known in the art.
Purified PRGE can also be coated directly onto plates for use in the
aforementioned drug
screening techniques. Alternatively, non-neutralizing antibodies can be used
to capture the
peptide and immobilize it on a solid support.
In another embodiment, one may use competitive drug screening assays in which
neutralizing antibodies capable of binding PRGE specifically compete with a
test compound for
binding PRGE. In this manner, antibodies can be used to detect the presence of
any peptide which
shares one or more antigenic determinants with PRGE.
In additional embodiments, the nucleotide sequences which encode PRGE may be
used in
any molecular biology techniques that have yet to be developed, provided the
new techniques rely
on properties of nucleotide sequences that are currently known, including, but
not limited to, such
-41-

WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 -
properties as the triplet genetic code and specific base pair interactions.
Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can,
using the
preceding description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent.
The following preferred
specific embodiments are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative,
and not limitative of
the remainder of the disclosure in any way whatsoever.
The disclosures of all patents, applications, and publications mentioned above
and below,
in particular U.S. Ser. No. 60/089,029, U.S. Ser. No. 60/094,575, and U.S.
Ser. No. 60/104,624,
are hereby expressly incorporated by reference.
EXAMPLES
I. Construction of cDNA Libraries
RNA was purchased from Clontech or isolated from tissues described in Table 4.
Some
tissues were homogenized and lysed in guanidinium isothiocyanate, while others
were
homogenized and lysed in phenol or in a suitable mixture of denaturants, such
as TRIZOL (Life
Technologies), a monophasic solution of phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate.
The resulting
lysates were centrifuged over CsCI cushions or extracted with chloroform. RNA
was precipitated
from the lysates with either isopropanol or sodium acetate and ethanol, or by
other routine
methods.
Phenol extraction and precipitation of RNA were repeated as necessary to
increase RNA
purity. In some cases, RNA was treated with DNase. For most libraries,
poly(A+) RNA was
isolated using oligo d(T)-coupled paramagnetic particles (Promega), OLIGOTEX
latex particles
(QIAGEN, Valencia CA), or an OLIGOTEX mRNA purification kit (QIAGEN).
Alternatively,
RNA was isolated directly from tissue lysates using other RNA isolation kits,
e.g., the
POLY(A)PURE mRNA purification kit (Ambion, Austin TX).
In some cases, Stratagene was provided with RNA and constructed the
corresponding
cDNA libraries. Otherwise, cDNA was synthesized and cDNA libraries were
constructed with the
UNIZAP vector system (Stratagene) or SUPERSCRIPT plasmid system (Life
Technologies),
using the recommended procedures or similar methods known in the art. (See,
e.g., Ausubel,
1997, su ra, units 5.1-6.6). Reverse transcription was initiated using oligo
d(T) or random
primers. Synthetic oligonucleotide adapters were ligated to double stranded
cDNA, and the cDNA
was digested with the appropriate restriction enzyme or enzymes. For most
libraries, the cDNA
was size-selected (300-1000 bp) using SEPHACRYL 51000, SEPHAROSE CL2B, or
SEPHAROSE CL4B column chromatography (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) or
preparative
agarose gel electrophoresis. cDNAs were ligated into compatible restriction
enzyme sites of the
polylinker of a suitable plasmid, e.g., PBLUESCRIPT plasmid (Stratagene),
pSPORTI plasmid
(Life Technologies), or pINCY (Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto CA).
Recombinant plasmids
-42-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
were transformed into competent E. coli cells including XL1-Blue, XL1-BIueMRF,
or SOLR from
Stratagene or DHSa, DH10B, or ElectroMAX DH10B from Life Technologies. II.
Isolation of cDNA Clones
Plasmids were recovered from host cells by in vivo excision, using the UNIZAP
vector
system (Stratagene) or cell lysis. Plasmids were purified using at least one
of the following: a
Magic or WIZARD Minipreps DNA purification system (Promega); an AGTC Miniprep
purification kit (Edge Biosystems, Gaithersburg MD); and QIAWELL 8 Plasmid,
QIAWELL 8
Plus Plasmid, QIAWELL 8 Ultra Plasmid purification systems or the REAL Prep 96
plasmid kit
from QIAGEN. Following precipitation, plasmids were resuspended in 0.1 ml of
distilled water
and stored, with or without lyophilization, at 4°C.
Alternatively, piasmid DNA was amplified from host cell lysates using direct
link PCR in
a high-throughput format (Rao, V.B. (1994} Anal. Biochem. 216:1-14). Host cell
lysis and
thermal cycling steps were carried out in a single reaction mixture. Samples
were processed and
stored in 384-well plates, and the concentration of amplified plasmid DNA was
quantified
fluorometrically using PICOGREEN dye (Molecular Probes, Eugene OR) and a
Fluoroskan II
fluorescence scanner (Labsystems Oy, Helsinki, Finland).
III. Sequencing and Analysis
The cDNAs were prepared for sequencing using the ABI CATALYST 800 (Perkin-
Elmer)
or the HYDRA microdispenser (Robbins Scientific) or MICROLAB 2200 (Hamilton)
systems in
combination with the PTC-200 thermal cyclers (MJ Research). The cDNAs were
sequenced using
the ABI PRISM 373 or 377 sequencing systems (Perkin-Elmer) and standard ABI
protocols, base
calling software, and kits. In one alternative, cDNAs were sequenced using the
MEGABACE
1000 DNA sequencing system (Molecular Dynamics). In another alternative, the
cDNAs were
amplified and sequenced using the ABI PRISM BIGDYE Terminator cycle sequencing
ready
reaction kit (Perkin-Elmer). In yet another alternative, cDNAs were sequenced
using solutions
and dyes from Amersham Pharmacia Biotech. Reading frames for the ESTs were
determined
using standard methods (reviewed in Ausubel, 1997, supra, unit 7.7). Some of
the cDNA
sequences were selected for extension using the techniques disclosed in
Example V.
The polynucleotide sequences derived from cDNA, extension, and shotgun
sequencing
were assembled and analyzed using a combination of software programs which
utilize algorithms
well known to those skilled in the art. Table 5 summarizes the software
programs, descriptions,
references, and threshold parameters used. The first column of Table 5 shows
the tools, programs,
and algorithms used, the second column provides a brief description thereof,
the third column
presents the references which are incorporated by reference herein, and the
fourth column
presents, where applicable, the scores, probability values, and other
parameters used to evaluate
-43-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281
the strength of a match between two sequences (the higher the probability the
greater the
homology). Sequences were analyzed using MACDNASIS PRO software (Hitachi
Software
Engineering, South San Francisco CA) and LASERGENE software (DNASTAR).
The polynucleotide sequences were validated by removing vector, linker, and
polyA
sequences and by masking ambiguous bases, using algorithms and programs based
on BLAST,
dynamic programing, and dinucleotide nearest neighbor analysis. The sequences
were then
queried against a selection of public databases such as GenBank primate,
rodent, mammalian,
vertebrate, and eukaryote databases, and BLOCKS to acquire annotation, using
programs based
on BLAST, FASTA, and BLIMPS. The sequences were assembled into full length
polynucleotide
sequences using programs based on Phred, Phrap, and Consed, and were screened
for open
reading frames using programs based on GeneMark, BLAST, and FASTA. The full
length
polynucleotide sequences were translated to derive the corresponding full
length amino acid
sequences, and these full length sequences were subsequently analyzed by
querying against
databases such as the GenBank databases (described above), SwissProt, BLOCKS,
PRINTS,
IS Prosite, and Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based protein family databases such
as PFAM.
HMM is a probalistic approach which analyzes consensus primary structures of
gene families.
(See, e.g., Eddy, S.R. (1996) Cur. Opin. Str. Biol. 6:361-365.)
The programs described above for the assembly and analysis of full length
polynucleotide
and amino acid sequences were also used to identify polynucleotide sequence
fragments from
SEQ ID N0:32-62. Fragments from about 20 to about 4000 nucleotides which are
useful in
hybridization and amplification technologies were described in 'The Invention
section above.
IV. Northern Analysis
Northern analysis is a laboratory technique used to detect the presence of a
transcript of a
gene and involves the hybridization of a labeled nucleotide sequence to a
membrane on which
RNAs from a particular cell type or tissue have been bound. (See, e.g.,
Sambrook, supra, ch. 7;
Ausubel, 1995, supra, ch. 4 and 16.)
Analogous computer techniques applying BLAST were used to search for identical
or
related molecules in nucleotide databases such as GenBank or LIFESEQ database
(Incyte
Pharmaceuticals). This analysis is much faster than multiple membrane-based
hybridizations. In
addition, the sensitivity of the computer search can be modified to determine
whether any
particular match is categorized as exact or similar. The basis of the search
is the product score,
which is defined as:
sequence identity x % maximum BLAST score
100
The product score takes into account both the degree of similarity between two
sequences and the
length of the sequence match. For example, with a product score of 40, the
match will be exact
-44-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PGT/US99/13281 _
within a 1% to 2% error, and, with a product score of 70, the match will be
exact. Similar
molecules are usually identified by selecting those which show product scores
between 15 and 40,
although lower scores may identify related molecules.
The results of northern analyses are reported as a percentage distribution of
libraries in
which the transcript encoding PRGE occurred. Analysis involved the
categorization of cDNA
libraries by organ/tissue and disease. The organ/tissue categories included
cardiovascular,
dermatologic, developmental, endocrine, gastrointestinal,
hematopoietic/immune, musculoskeletal,
nervous, reproductive, and urologic. The disease/condition categories included
cancer,
inflammation/trauma, cell proliferation, neurological, and pooled. For each
category, the number
of libraries expressing the sequence of interest was counted and divided by
the total number of
libraries across all categories. Percentage values of tissue-specific and
disease- or condition-
specific expression are reported in Table 3.
V. Extension of PRGE Encoding Polynucleotides
The full length nucleic acid sequences of SEQ ID N0:56-62 were produced by
extension
of an appropriate fragment of the full length molecule using oligonucleotide
primers designed
from this fragment. One primer was synthesized to initiate 5' extension of the
known fragment,
and the other primer, to initiate 3' extension of the known fragment. The
initial primers were
designed using OLIGO 4.06 software (National Biosciences), or another
appropriate program, to
be about 22 to 30 nucleotides in length, to have a GC content of about 50% or
more, and to anneal
to the target sequence at temperatures of about 68 °C to about 72
°C. Any stretch of nucleotides
which would result in hairpin structures and primer-primer dimerizations was
avoided.
Selected human cDNA libraries were used to extend the sequence. If more than
one
extension was necessary or desired, additional or nested sets of primers were
designed.
High fidelity amplification was obtained by PCR using methods well known in
the art.
PCR was performed in 96-well plates using the PTC-200 thermal cycler (MJ
Research, lnc.). The
reaction mix contained DNA template, 200 nmol of each primer, reaction buffer
containing Mg2+,
(NH4)zS04, and ~i-mercaptoethanol, Taq DNA polymerise (Amersham Pharmacia
Biotech),
ELONGASE enzyme (Life Technologies), and Pfu DNA polymerise (Stratagene), with
the
following parameters for primer pair PCI A and PCI B: Step 1: 94°C, 3
min; Step 2: 94°C, 15 sec;
Step 3: 60°C, 1 min; Step 4: 68°C, 2 min; Step 5: Steps 2, 3,
and 4 repeated 20 times; Step 6:
68°C, 5 min; Step 7: storage at 4°C. In the alternative, the
parameters for primer pair T7 and SK+
were as follows: Step 1: 94°C, 3 min; Step 2: 94°C, 15 sec; Step
3: 57°C, 1 min; Step 4: 68°C, 2
min; Step 5: Steps 2, 3, and 4 repeated 20 times; Step 6: 68°C, 5 min;
Step 7: storage at 4°C.
The concentration of DNA in each well was determined by dispensing 100 pl
PICOGREEN quantitation reagent (0.25% (v/v) PICOGREEN; Molecular Probes,
Eugene OR)
dissolved in 1X TE and 0.5 pl of undiluted PCR product into each well of an
opaque fluorimeter
-4 5-

WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281 _
plate (Corning Costar, Acton MA), allowing the DNA to bind to the reagent. The
plate was
scanned in a Fluoroskan II (Labsystems Oy, Helsinki, Finland) to measure the
fluorescence of the
sample and to quantify the concentration of DNA. A 5 ~I to 10 ,ul aliquot of
the reaction mixture
was analyzed by electrophoresis on a 1 % agarose mini-gel to determine which
reactions were
successful in extending the sequence.
The extended nucleotides were desalted and concentrated, transferred to 384-
well plates,
digested with CviJI cholera virus endonuclease (Molecular Biology Research,
Madison WI), and
sonicated or sheared prior to religation into pUC 18 vector (Amersham
Pharmacia Biotech). For
shotgun sequencing, the digested nucleotides were separated on low
concentration (0.6 to 0.8%)
agarose gels, fragments were excised, and agar digested with Agar ACE
(Promega). Extended
clones were religated using T4 ligase (New England Biolabs, Beverly MA) into
pUC 18 vector
(Amersham Pharmacia Biotech), treated with Pfu DNA polymerase (Stratagene) to
fill-in
restriction site overhangs, and transfected into competent E. coli cells.
Transformed cells were
selected on antibiotic-containing media, individual colonies were picked and
cultured overnight at
37°C in 384-well plates in LB/2x curb liquid media.
The cells were lysed, and DNA was amplified by PCR using Taq DNA polymerase
(Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) and Pfu DNA poiymerase (Stratagene) with the
following
parameters: Step 1: 94°C, 3 min; Step 2: 94°C, 15 sec; Step 3:
60°C, 1 min; Step 4: 72°C, 2 min;
Step S: steps 2, 3, and 4 repeated 29 times; Step 6: 72°C, 5 min; Step
7: storage at 4°C. DNA was
quantified by PICOGREEN reagent (Molecular Probes) as described above. Samples
with low
DNA recoveries were reamplified using the same conditions as described above.
Samples were
diluted with 20% dimethysulphoxide ( 1:2, v/v), and sequenced using DYENAMIC
energy transfer
sequencing primers and the DYENAMIC DIRECT kit (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) or
the ABI
PRISM BIGDYE Terminator cycle sequencing ready reaction kit (Perkin-Elmer).
In like manner, the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NO:56-62 are used to obtain
S'
regulatory sequences using the procedure above, oligonucleotides designed for
such extension,
and an appropriate genomic library.
The nucleic acid sequences of SEQ ID N0:32-55 were used to design
oligonucleotide
primers for extending a partial nucleotide sequence to full length. For each
nucleic acid sequence,
one primer was synthesized to initiate extension of an antisense
polynucleotide, and the other was
synthesized to initiate extension of a sense polynucleotide. Primers were used
to facilitate the
extension of the known sequence "outward" generating amplicons containing new
unknown
nucleotide sequence for the region of interest. The initial primers were
designed from the cDNA
using OLIGOTM 4.06 (National Biosciences, Plymouth, MN), or another
appropriate program, to
be about 22 to 30 nucleotides in length, to have a GC content of about SU% or
more, and to anneal
to the target sequence at temperatures of about 68 °C to about 72
°C. Any stretch of nucleotides
-46-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/I3281 _
which would result in hairpin structures and primer-primer dimerizations was
avoided.
Selected human cDNA libraries (GIBCO BRL) were used to extend the sequence. If
more
than one extension is necessary or desired, additional sets of primers are
designed to further
extend the known region.
High fidelity amplification was obtained by following the instructions for the
XL-PCRTM
kit (Perkin Elmer) and thoroughly mixing the enzyme and reaction mix. PCR was
performed
using the Peltier Thermal Cycler (PTC200; M.J. Research, Watertown, MA),
beginning with 40
pmol of each primer and the recommended concentrations of al l other
components of the kit, with
the following parameters:
Step 1 94 C for 1 min (initial denaturation)

A 5 ~l to 10 ~I aliquot of the reaction mixture was analyzed by
electrophoresis on a low
concentration (about 0.6% to 0.8%) agarose mini-gel to determine which
reactions were successful
in extending the sequence. Bands thought to contain the largest products were
excised from the
gel, purified using QIAQUICKT"' (QIAGEN Inc.), and trimmed of overhangs using
Klenow
enzyme to facilitate religation and cloning.
After ethanol precipitation, the products were redissolved in 13 ul of
ligation buffer, l~cl
T4-DNA ligase (I S units) and 1/cl T4 polynucleotide kinase were added, and
the mixture was
incubated at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight at 16° C.
Competent E, coli cells (in
/cl of appropriate media) were transformed with 3 ~1 of ligation mixture and
cultured in 80 ~I
of SOC medium. (See, e.g., Sambrook, supra, Appendix A, p. 2.) After
incubation for one hour at
37°C, the E. coli mixture was plated on Luria Bertani (LB) agar (See,
e.g., Sambrook, supr-a,
35 Appendix A, p. 1) containing carbenicillin (2x carb). The following day,
several colonies were
randomly picked from each plate and cultured in I50 ~1 of liquid LB/2x carb
medium placed in an
individual well of an appropriate commercially-available sterile 96-well
microtiter plate. The
following day, 5 ~l of each overnight culture was transferred into a non-
sterile 96-well plate and,
after dilution 1:10 with water, S /c) from each sample was transferred into a
PCR array.
40 For PCR amplification, 18 ~1 of concentrated PCR reaction mix (3.3x)
containing 4 units

WO 99/64596 PCT/tTS99/13281 _
of rTth DNA polymerise, a vector primer, and one or both of the gene specific
primers used for
the extension reaction were added to each well. Amplification was performed
using the following
conditions:
Step 1 94 C for 60 sec


Step 2 94 C for 20 sec


Step 3 55 C for 30 sec


Step 4 72 C for 90 sec


Step 5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 for an additional
29 cycles


Step 6 72 C for 180 sec


Step 7 4 C (and holding)


Aliquots of the PCR reactions were run on agarose gels together with molecular
weight
markers. The sizes of the PCR products were compared to the original partial
cDNAs, and
appropriate clones were selected, ligated into plasmid, and sequenced.
In like manner, the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NO:32-55 are used to obtain
S'
regulatory sequences using the procedure above, oligonucleotides designed for
5' extension, and
an appropriate genomic library.
VI. Labeling and Use of Individual Hybridization Probes
Hybridization probes derived from SEQ ID N0:32-62 are employed to screen
cDNAs,
genomic DNAs, or mRNAs. Although the labeling of oligonucleotides, consisting
of about 20
base pairs, is specifically described, essentially the same procedure is used
with larger nucleotide
fragments. Oligonucleotides are designed using state-of the-art software such
as OLIGO 4.06
software (National Biosciences) and labeled by combining 50 pmol of each
oligomer, 250 ~Ci of
r.Y-32P1 adenosine triphosphate (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech), and T4
polynucleotide kinase
(DuPont NEN, Boston MA). The labeled oligonucleotides are substantially
purified using a
SEPHADEX G-25 supe~ne size exclusion dextrin bead column (Amersham Pharmacia
Biotech).
An aliquot containing 10' counts per minute of the labeled probe is used in a
typical membrane-
based hybridization analysis of human genomic DNA digested with one of the
following
endonucleases: Ase I, Bgl II, Eco RI, Pst I, Xbal, or Pvu II (DuPont NEN).
The DNA from each digest is fractionated on a 0.7% agarose gel and transferred
to nylon
membranes (Nytran Plus, Schleicher & Schuell, Durham NH). Hybridization is
carried out for 16
hours'at 40°C. To remove nonspecific signals, blots are sequentially
washed at room temperature
under increasingly stringent conditions up to 0.1 x saline sodium citrate and
0.5% sodium dodecyl
sulfate. After XOMAT-AR film (Eastman Kodak, Rochester NY) is exposed to the
blots to film
for several hours, hybridization patterns are compared visually.
VII. Microarrays
A chemical coupling procedure and an ink jet device can be used to synthesize
array
-48-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PGT/US99/13281
elements on the surface of a substrate. (See, e.g., Baldeschweiler, supra.) An
array analogous to a
dot or slot blot may also be used to arrange and link elements to the surface
of a substrate using
thermal, UV, chemical, or mechanical bonding procedures. A typical array may
be produced by
hand or using available methods and machines and contain any appropriate
number of elements.
After hybridization, nonhybridized probes are removed and a scanner used to
determine the levels
and patterns of fluorescence. The degree of complementarity and the relative
abundance of each
probe which hybridizes to an element on the microarray may be assessed through
analysis of the
scanned images.
Full-length cDNAs, Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), or fragments thereof may
comprise the elements of the microarray. Fragments suitable for hybridization
can be selected
using software well known in the art such as LASERGENE software (DNASTAR).
Full-length
cDNAs, ESTs, or fragments thereof corresponding to one of the nucleotide
sequences of the
present invention, or selected at random from a cDNA library relevant to the
present invention, are
arranged on an appropriate substrate, e.g., a glass slide. The cDNA is fixed
to the slide using, e.g.,
UV cross-linking followed by thermal and chemical treatments and subsequent
drying. (See, e.g.,
Schena, M. et al. ( 1995) Science 270:467-470; Shalon, D. et aI. ( 1996)
Genome Res. 6:639-645.)
Fluorescent probes are prepared and used for hybridization to the elements on
the substrate. The
substrate is analyzed by procedures described above.
VIII. Complementary Polynucleotides
Sequences complementary to the PRGE-encoding sequences, or any parts thereof,
are
used to detect, decrease, or inhibit expression of naturally occurring PRGE.
Although use of
oligonucleotides comprising from about 1 S to 30 base pairs is described,
essentially the same
procedure is used with smaller or with larger sequence fragments. Appropriate
oligonucleotides
are designed using OLIGO 4.06 software (National Biosciences) and the coding
sequence of
PRGE. To inhibit transcription, a complementary oligonucleotide is designed
from the most
unique 5' sequence and used to prevent promoter binding to the coding
sequence. To inhibit
translation, a complementary oligonucleotide is designed to prevent ribosomal
binding to the
PRGE-encoding transcript.
IX. Expression of PRGE
Expression and purification of PRGE is achieved using bacterial or virus-based
expression systems. For expression of PRGE in bacteria, cDNA is subcloned into
an appropriate
vector containing an antibiotic resistance gene and an inducible promoter that
directs high levels
of cDNA transcription. Examples of such promoters include, but are not limited
to, the trp-lac
(tac) hybrid promoter and the TS or T7 bacteriophage promoter in conjunction
with the lac
operator regulatory element. Recombinant vectors are transformed into suitable
bacterial hosts,
e.g., BL21(DE3). Antibiotic resistant bacteria express PRGE upon induction
with isopropyl beta-
-49-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281
D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Expression of PRGE in eukaryotic cells is
achieved by infecting
insect or mammalian cell lines with recombinant Autogrraphica californica
nuclear polyhedrosis
virus (AcMNPV), commonly known as baculovirus. The nonessential polyhedrin
gene of
baculovirus is replaced with cDNA encoding PRGE by either homologous
recombination or
bacterial-mediated transposition involving transfer plasmid intermediates.
Viral infectivity is
maintained and the strong polyhedrin promoter drives high levels of cDNA
transcription.
Recombinant baculovirus is used to infect Spodoptera fruyiperda (S~) insect
cells in most cases,
or human hepatocytes, in some cases. Infection of the latter requires
additional genetic
modifications to baculovirus. (See Engelhard, E. K. et al. (1994) Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA
91:3224-3227; Sandig, V. et al. (1996) Hum. Gene Ther. 7:1937-1945.)
In most expression systems, PRGE is synthesized as a fusion protein with,
e.g.,
glutathione S-transferase (GST) or a peptide epitope tag, such as FLAG or 6-
His, permitting rapid,
single-step, affinity-based purification of recombinant fusion protein from
crude cell lysates.
GST, a 26-kilodalton enzyme from Schistosoma Lponicum, enables the
purification of fusion
proteins on immobilized glutathione under conditions that maintain protein
activity and
antigenicity (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). Following purification, the GST
moiety can be
proteolytically cleaved from PRGE at specifically engineered sites. FLAG, an 8-
amino acid
peptide, enables immunoaffinity purification using commercially available
monoclonal and
polyclonal anti-FLAG antibodies (Eastman Kodak). 6-His, a stretch of six
consecutive histidine
residues, enables purification on metal-chelate resins (QIAGEN). Methods for
protein expression
and purification are discussed in Ausubel ( 1995, s- u~ra, ch 10 and 16).
Purified PRGE obtained by
these methods can be used directly in the following activity assay.
X. Demonstration of PRGE Activity
PRGE activity is measured by its ability to stimulate transcription of a
reporter gene (Liu,
H.Y. et al. (1997) EMBO J. 16(17):5289-5298.) The assay entails the use of a
well characterized
reporter gene construct, LexAop LacZ, that consists of LexA DNA
transcriptional control
elements (LexAoP) fused to sequences encoding the E. coli LacZ enzyme. The
methods for
constructing and expressing fusion genes, introducing them into cells, and
measuring LacZ
enzyme activity, are well known to those skilled in the art. Sequences
encoding PRGE are cloned
into a plasmid that directs the synthesis of a fusion protein, LexA-PRGE,
consisting of PRGE and
a DNA binding domain derived from the LexA transcription factor. The resulting
plasmid,
encoding a LexA-PRGE fusion protein, is introduced into yeast cells along with
a plasmid
containing the LexAoP LacZ reporter gene. The amount of LacZ enzyme activity
associated with
LexA-PRGE transfected cells, relative to control cells, is proportional to the
amount of
transcription stimulated by the PRGE.
XI. Functional Assays
-50-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281
PRGE function is assessed by expressing the sequences encoding PRGE at
physiologically elevated levels in mammalian cell culture systems. cDNA is
subcloned into a
mammalian expression vector containing a strong promoter that drives high
levels of cDNA
expression. Vectors of choice include pCMV SPORT (Life Technologies) and
pCR3.1
(Invitrogen, Carlsbad CA), both of which contain the cytomegalovirus promoter.
5-10 /cg of
recombinant vector are transiently transfected into a human cell line,
preferably of endothelial or
hematopoietic origin, using either liposome formulations or electroporation. 1-
2 ~g of an
additional plasmid containing sequences encoding a marker protein are co-
transfected. Expression
of a marker protein provides a means to distinguish transfected cells from
nontransfected cells and
is a reliable predictor of cDNA expression from the recombinant vector. Marker
proteins of
choice include, e.g., Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP; Clontech), CD64, or a
CD64-GFP fusion
protein. Flow cytometry (FCM), an automated, laser optics-based technique, is
used to identify
transfected cells expressing GFP or CD64-GFP, and to evaluate properties, for
example, their
apoptotic state. FCM detects and quantifies the uptake of fluorescent
molecules that diagnose
events preceding or coincident with cell death. These events include changes
in nuclear DNA
content as measured by staining of DNA with propidium iodide; changes in cell
size and
granularity as measured by forward light scatter and 90 degree side light
scatter; down-regulation
of DNA synthesis as measured by decrease in bromodeoxyuridine uptake;
alterations in
expression of cell surface and intracellular proteins as measured by
reactivity with specific
antibodies; and alterations in plasma membrane composition as measured by the
binding of
fluorescein-conjugated Annexin V protein to the cell surface. Methods in flow
cytometry are
discussed in Ormerod, M. G. (1994) Flow C~rtometry, Oxford, New York NY.
The influence of PRGE on gene expression can be assessed using highly purified
populations of cells transfected with sequences encoding PRGE and either CD64
or CD64-GFP.
CD64 and CD64-GFP are expressed on the surface of transfected cells and bind
to conserved
regions of human immunoglobulin G (IgG). Transfected cells are efficiently
separated from
nontransfected cells using magnetic beads coated with either human IgG or
antibody against CD64
(DYNAL, Lake Success NY). mRNA can be purified from the cells using methods
well known
by those of skill in the art. Expression of mRNA encoding PRGE and other genes
of interest can
be analyzed by northern analysis or microarray techniques.
XII. Production of PRGE Specific Antibodies
PRGE substantially purified using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE;
see, e.g.,
Harrington, M.G. (1990) Methods Enzymol. 182:488-495), or other purification
techniques, is
used to immunize rabbits and to produce antibodies using standard protocols.
Alternatively, the PRGE amino acid sequence is analyzed using LASERGENE
software
(DNASTAR) to determine regions of high immunogenicity, and a corresponding
oligopeptide is
-51-


CA 02329685 2000-12-11
WO 99/64596 PCT/US99/13281
synthesized and used to raise antibodies by means known to those of skill in
the art. Methods for
selection of appropriate epitopes, such as those near the C-terminus or in
hydrophilic regions are
well described in the art. (See, e.g., Ausubel, 1995, supra, ch. I 1.)
Typically, oligopeptides 15 residues in length are synthesized using an ABI
431A
Peptide Synthesizer (Perkin-Elmer) using fmoc-chemistry and coupled to ICLH
(Sigma-Aldrich,
St. Louis MO) by reaction with N-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester
(MBS) to
increase immunogenicity. (See, e.g., Ausubel, 1995, supra.) Rabbits are
immunized with the
oligopeptide-KL,H complex in complete Freund's adjuvant. Resulting antisera
are tested for
antipeptide activity by, for example, binding the peptide to plastic, blocking
with 1% BSA,
l0 reacting with rabbit antisera, washing, and xeacting with radio-iodinated
goat anti-rabbit IgG.
XIII. Purification of Naturally Occurring PRGE Using Specific Antibodies
Naturally occurring or recombinant PRGE is substantially purified by
immunoaffinity
chromatography using antibodies specific for PRGE. An immunoaffinity column is
constructed
by covalently coupling anti-PRGE antibody to an activated chromatographic
resin, such as
CNBr-activated SEPHAROSE (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). After the coupling, the
resin is
blocked and washed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Media containing PRGE are passed over the immunoaffinity column, and the
column is
washed under conditions that allow the preferential absorbance of PRGE (e.g.,
high ionic strength
buffers in the presence of detergent). The column is eluted under conditions
that disrupt
antibody/PRGE binding (e.g., a buffer of pH 2 to pH 3, or a high concentration
of a chaotrope,
such as urea or thiocyanate ion), and PRGE is collected.
XIV. Identification of Molecules Which Interact with PRGE
PRGE, or biologically active fragments thereof, are labeled with'ZSI Bolton-
Hunter
reagent. (See, e.g., Bolton et al. (1973) Biochem. J. 133:529.) Candidate
molecules previously
arrayed in the wells of a multi-well plate are incubated with the labeled
PRGE, washed, and any
wells with labeled PRGE complex are assayed. Data obtained using different
concentrations of
PRGE are used to calculate values for the number, affinity, and association of
PRGE with the
candidate molecules.
Various modifications and variations of the described methods and systems of
the
invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from
the scope and spirit of
the invention. Although the invention has been described in connection with
specific preferred
embodiments, it should be understood that the invention as claimed should not
be unduly limited
to such specific embodiments. Indeed, various modifications of the described
modes for carrying
out the invention which are obvious to those skilled in molecular biology or
related fields are
intended to be within the scope of the following claims.
