FULL-LENGTH MOLECULES EXPRESSED IN HUMAN TISSUES
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of full-length
molecules
expressed in human tissues and to the use of these sequences in the analysis
of human gene expression,
genetic linkage, and genetic variability, and in the diagnosis, treatment, and
prevention of
developmental, cell proliferative, and immunological disorders.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is estimated that only 2'70 of mammalian DNA encodes proteins, and only a
small fraction
of the genes that encode proteins is actually expressed in a particular cell
at any time. The various
types of cells in a multicellular organism differ dramatically both in
structure and function, and the
identity of a particular cell is conferred by its unique pattern of gene
expression. In addition, different
cell types express overlapping but distinctive sets of genes throughout
development. Cell growth and
1~ proliferation, cell differentiation, the immune response, apoptosis, and
other processes that contribute
to organism development and survival are governed by regulation of gene
expression. Appropriate
gene regulation also ensures that cells function efficiently by expressing
only those genes whose
functions are required at a given time. Factors that influence gene expression
include extracellular
signals that mediate cell-cell communication and coordinate the activities of
different cell types.
Gene expression is regulated at the level of DNA and RNA transcription, and at
the level of mRNA
translation.
Aberrant expression or mutations in genes and their products may cause, or
increase
susceptibility to, a variety of human diseases such as cancer and other cell
proliferative disorders.
The identification of these genes and their products is the basis of an ever-
expanding effort to finding
markers for early detection of diseases and targets for their prevention and
treatment. For example,
cancer represents a type of cell proliferative disorder that affects nearly
every tissue in the body. The
development of cancer, or oncogenesis, is often correlated with the conversion
of a normal gene into a
cancer-causing gene, or oncogene, through abnormal expression or mutation.
Oncoproteins, the
products of oncogenes, include a variety of molecules that influence cell
proliferation, such as growth
factors, growth factor receptors, intracellular signal transducers, nuclear
transcription factors, and
cell-cycle control proteins. In contrast, tumor-suppressor genes are involved
in inhibiting cell
proliferation. Mutations which reduce or abrogate the function of tumor-
suppressor genes result in
aberrant cell proliferation and cancer. Thus a wide variety of genes and their
products have been
found that are associated with cell proliferative disorders such as cancer,
but many more may exist
that are yet to be discovered.

DNA-based arrays can provide an efficient, high-throughput method to examine
gene
expression and genetic variability. For example, SNPs, or single nucleotide
polymorphisms, are the
most common type of human genetic variation. DNA-based arrays can dramatically
accelerate the
discovery of SNPs in hundreds and even thousands of genes. Likewise, such
arrays can be used for
SNP genotyping in which DNA samples from individuals or populations are
assayed for the presence
of selected SNPs. These approaches will ultimately lead to the systematic
identification of all genetic
variations in the human genome and the correlation of certain genetic
variations with disease
susceptibility, responsiveness to drug treatments. and other medically
relevant information. (See, for
example, Wang, D.G. et al. (1998) Science 280:1077-1082.)
DNA-based array technology is especially important for the rapid analysis of
global gene
expression patterns. For example, genetic predisposition, disease, or
therapeutic treatment may
directly or indirectly affect the expression of a large number of genes in a
given tissue. In this case, it
is useful to develop a profile, or transcript image, of all the genes that are
expressed and the levels at
which they are expressed in that particular tissue. A profile generated from
an individual or
population affected with a certain disease or undergoing a particular therapy
may be compared with a
profile likewise generated from a control individual or population. Such
analysis does not require
knowledge of gene function, as the expression profiles can subjected to
mathematical analyses which
simply treat each gene as a marker. Furthermore, gene expression profiles may
help dissect biological
pathways by identifying all the genes expressed, for example, at a certain
developmental stage, in a
particular tissue, or in response to disease or treatment. (See, for example,
Lander, E.S. et al. (1996)
Science 274:536-539.)
The discovery of new full-length molecules expressed in human tissues and the
polynucleotides
encoding them satisfies a need in the art by providing new compositions which
are useful in the analysis
of human gene expression, genetic linkage, and genetic variability, and in the
diagnosis, prevention, and
treatment of developmental, cell proliferative, and immunological disorders.

DEFINITIONS
"FLEXHT'' refers to the amino acid sequences of substantially purified FLEXHT
obtained
from any species, particularly a mammalian species, including bovine, ovine,
porcine, murine, equine,
and human, and from any source, whether natural, synthetic, semi-synthetic, or
recombinant.
The term "agonist'' refers to a molecule which intensifies or mimics the
biological activity of
FLEXHT. Agonists may include proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, small
molecules, or any other
compound or composition which modulates the activity of FLEXHT either by
directly interacting with
FLEXHT or by acting on components of the biological pathway in which FLEXHT
participates.
An "allelic variant'' is an alternative form of the gene encoding FLEXHT.
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. A gene may
have none, one, or
many allelic variants of its naturally occurring form. 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

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00170047 PCT/US00/13299
a given sequence.
''Altered" nucleic acid sequences encoding FLEXHT include those sequences with
deletions,
insertions, or substitutions of different nucleotides, resulting in a
polypeptide the same as FLEXHT or a
polypeptide with at least one functional characteristic of FLEXHT. Included
within this definition are
polymorphisms which may or may not be readily detectable using a particular
oligonucleotide probe of
the polynucleotide encoding FLEXHT, and improper or unexpected hybridization
to allelic variants,
with a locus other than the normal chromosomal locus for the polynucleotide
sequence encoding
FLEXHT. 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 FLEXHT. 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 FLEXHT is
retained. For example,
negatively charged amino acids may include aspartic acid and glutamic acid,
and positively charged
amino acids may include lysine and arginine. Amino acids with uncharged polar
side chains having
similar hydrophilicity values may include: asparagine and glutamine; and
serine and threonine.
Amino acids with uncharged side chains having similar hydrophilicity values
may include: leucine,
isoleucine, and valine; glycine and alanine; and phenylalanine and tyrosine.
The terms "amino acid" and "amino acid sequence'' refer to an oligopeptide,
peptide,
polypeptide, or protein sequence, or a fragment of any of these, and to
naturally occurring or synthetic
molecules. Where ''amino acid sequence'' is recited to refer to a 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 inhibits or attenuates the
biological activity of
FLEXHT. Antagonists may include proteins such as antibodies, nucleic acids,
carbohydrates, small
molecules, or any other compound or composition which modulates the activity
of FLEXHT either by
directly interacting with FLEXHT or by acting on components of the biological
pathway in which
FLEXHT participates.
The term "antibody ' refers to intact immunoglobulin molecules as well as to
fragments thereof,
such as Fab, F(ab')~, and Fv fragments, which are capable of binding an
epitopic determinant.
Antibodies that bind FLEXHT 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

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
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 region 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 (particular 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 capable of base-pairing with
the ''sense '
(coding) strand of a specific nucleic acid sequence. Antisense compositions
may include DNA; RNA:
peptide nucleic acid (PNA); oligonucleotides having modified backbone linkages
such as
phosphorothioates, methylphosphonates, or benzylphosphonates; oligonucleotides
having modified
sugar groups such as 2'-methoxyethyl sugars or 2'-methoxyethoxy sugars; or
oligonucleotides having
modified bases such as 5-methyl cytosine, 2'-deoxyuracil, or 7-deaza-2'-
deoxyguanosine. Antisense
molecules may be produced by any method including chemical synthesis or
transcription. Once
introduced into a cell, the complementary antisense molecule base-pairs with a
naturally occurring
nucleic acid sequence produced by the cell to form duplexes which block either
transcription or
translation. The designation "negative" or "minus'' can refer to the antisense
strand, and the
designation ''positive'' or "plus" can refer to the sense strand of a
reference DNA molecule.
The term ''biologically active" refers to a protein having structural,
regulatory, or biochemical
functions of a naturally occurring molecule. Likewise. "immunologically
active" or "immunogenic"
refers to the capability of the natural, recombinant, or synthetic FLEXHT, or
of any oligopeptide
thereof, to induce a specific immune response in appropriate animals or cells
and to bind with specific
antibodies.
''Complementary'' describes the relationship between two single-stranded
nucleic acid
sequences that anneal by base-pairing. For example, 5'-AGT-3' pairs with its
complement,
3'-TCA-5'.
A ''composition comprising a given polynucleotide sequence" and 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 FLEXHT or fragments
of FLEXHT may
be employed as hybridization probes. The probes may be stored in freeze-dried
form and may be

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
associated with a stabilizing went such as a carbohydrate. In hybridizations,
the probe may be
deployed in an aqueous solution containing salts (e.g., NaCl), 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
subjected to repeated
~ DNA sequence analysis to resolve uncalled bases, extended using the XL-PCR
kit (Perkin-Elmer,
Norwalk CT) in the 5' and/or the 3' direction, and resequenced, or which has
been assembled from one
or more overlapping cDNA, EST, or genomic DNA fragments using a computer
program for fragment
assembly, such as the GELVIEW fragment assembly system (GCG, Madison WI) or
Phrap (University
of Washington, Seattle WA). Some sequences have been both extended and
assembled to produce the
consensus sequence.
"Conservative amino acid substitutions'' are those substitutions that are
predicted to least
interfere with the properties of the original protein, i.e., the structure and
especially the function of the
protein is conserved and not significantly changed by such substitutions. The
table below shows amino
acids which may be substituted for an original amino acid in a protein and
which are regarded as
conservative amino acid substitutions.

Conservative amino acid substitutions generally maintain (a) the structure of
the polypeptide
backbone in the area of the substitution, for example, as a beta sheet or
alpha helical conformation,
(b) the charge or hydrophobicity of the molecule at the site of the
substitution, and/or (c) the bulk of the
side chain.
A "deletion'' refers to a change in the amino acid or nucleotide sequence that
results in the
11

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
absence of one or more amino acid residues or nucleotides.
The term "derivative" refers to a chemically modified polynucleotide or
polypeptide. Chemical
modifications of a polynucleotide sequence can include, for example,
replacement of hydrogen by an
alkyl. acyl, hydroxyl, 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.
A ''detectable label" refers to a reporter molecule or enzyme that is capable
of generating a
measurable signal and is covalently or noncovalently joined to a
polynucleotide or polypeptide.
A "fragment" is a unique portion of FLEXHT or the polynucleotide encoding
FLEXHT
which is identical in sequence to but shorter in length than the parent
sequence. A fragment may
comprise up to the entire length of the defined sequence, minus one
nucleotide/amino acid residue.
For example, a fragment may comprise from 5 to 1000 contiguous nucleotides or
amino acid residues.
A fragment used as a probe, primer, antigen, therapeutic molecule, or for
other purposes, may be at
least 5, 10, 15, 16, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 250 or at least 500
contiguous nucleotides or
amino acid residues in length. Fragments may be preferentially selected from
certain regions of a
molecule. For example, a polypeptide fragment may comprise a certain length of
contiguous amino
acids selected from the first 250 or 500 amino acids (or first 25% or 50% of a
polypeptide) as shown
in a certain defined sequence. Clearly these lengths are exemplary, and any
length that is supported
by the specification, including the Sequence Listing, tables, and figures, may
be encompassed by the
present embodiments.
A fragment of SEQ ID N0:56-110 comprises a region of unique polynucleotide
sequence that
specifically identifies SEQ ID N0:56-110, for example, as distinct from any
other sequence in the
genome from which the fragment was obtained. A fragment of SEQ ID N0:56-110 is
useful, for
example, in hybridization and amplification technologies and in analogous
methods that distinguish
SEQ ID N0:56-110 from related polynucleotide sequences. The precise length of
a fragment of SEQ
ID N0:56-110 and the region of SEQ ID N0:56-110 to which the fragment
corresponds are routinely
determinable by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the intended purpose
for the fragment.
A fragment of SEQ ID NO:1-55 is encoded by a fragment of SEQ ID N0:56-110. A
fragment of SEQ ID NO:1-55 comprises a region of unique amino acid sequence
that specifically
identities SEQ ID NO:1-55. For example, a fragment of SEQ ID NO:1-55 is useful
as an
immunogenic peptide for the development of antibodies that specifically
recognize SEQ ID NO:l-55.
The precise length of a fragment of SEQ ID NO:1-55 and the region of SEQ ID
NO:1-55 to which the
fragment corresponds are routinely determinable by one of ordinary skill in
the art based on the
intended purpose for the fragment.

A "full-length" polynucleotide sequence is one containing at least a
translation initiation codon
(e.g., methionine) followed by an open reading frame and a translation
termination codon. A "full-
length" polynucleotide sequence encodes a "full-length" polypeptide sequence.
"Homology" refers to sequence similarity or, interchangeably, sequence
identity, between two
or more polynucleotide sequences or two or more polypeptide sequences.
The terms "percent identity" and ''% identity," as applied to polynucleotide
sequences, refer to
the percentage of residue matches between at least two polynucleotide
sequences aligned using a
standardized algorithm. Such an algorithm may insert, in a standardized and
reproducible way, gaps in
the sequences being compared in order to optimize alignment between two
sequences, and therefore
achieve a more meaningful comparison of the two sequences.
Percent identity between polynucleotide sequences may be determined using the
default
parameters of the CLUSTAL V algorithm as incorporated into the MEGALIGN
version 3.12e sequence
alignment program. This program is part of the LASERGENE software package, a
suite of molecular
biological analysis programs (DNASTAR, Madison WI). CLUSTAL V is described in
Higgins, D.G.
1~ and P.M. Sharp (1989) CABIOS 5:151-153 and in Higgins, D.G. et al. (1992)
CABIOS 8:189-191.
For pairwise alignments of polynucleotide sequences, the default parameters
are set as follows:
Ktuple=2, gap penalty=5, window=4, and "diagonals saved''=4. The "weighted"
residue weight table is
selected as the default. Percent identity is reported by CLUSTAL V as the
''percent similarity" between
aligned polynucleotide sequences.
Alternatively, a suite of commonly used and freely available sequence
comparison algorithms is
provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Basic
Local Alignment Search
Tool (BLAST) (Altschul, S.F. et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410), which
is available from several
sources, including the NCBI, Bethesda, MD, and on the Internet at
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/. The BLAST software suite includes various
sequence analysis
programs including "blastn,'' that is used to align a known polynucleotide
sequence with other
polynucleotide sequences from a variety of databases. Also available is a tool
called "BLAST 2
Sequences'' that is used for direct pairwise comparison of two nucleotide
sequences. "BLAST 2
Sequences" can be accessed and used interactively at
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gorf/bl2.html. The
"BLAST 2 Sequences'' tool can be used for both blastn and blastp (discussed
below). BLAST
programs are commonly used with gap and other parameters set to default
settings. For example, to
compare two nucleotide sequences, one may use blastn with the "BLAST 2
Sequences" tool Version
2Ø12 (April-21-2000) set at default parameters. Such default parameters may
be, for example:
Matrix: BLOSL1M62

Percent identity may be measured over the length of an entire defined
sequence, for example, as
defined by a particular SEQ ID number, or may be measured over a shorter
length, for example, over
the length of a fragment taken from a larger, defined sequence, for instance,
a fragment of at least 20, at
least 30, at least 40, at least 50, at least 70, at least 100, or at least 200
contiguous nucleotides. Such
lengths are exemplary only, and it is understood that any fragment length
supported by the sequences
shown herein, in the tables, figures, or Sequence Listing, may be used to
describe a length over which
percentage identity may be measured.
Nucleic acid sequences that do not show a high degree of identity may
nevertheless encode
similar amino acid sequences due to the degeneracy of the genetic code. It is
understood that changes in
a nucleic acid sequence can be made using this degeneracy to produce multiple
nucleic acid sequences
that all encode substantially the same protein.
The phrases ''percent identity" and ''% identity," as applied to polypeptide
sequences, refer to
the percentage of residue matches between at least two polypeptide sequences
aligned using a
standardized algorithm. Methods of polypeptide sequence alignment are well-
known. Some alignment
methods take into account conservative amino acid substitutions. Such
conservative substitutions,
explained in more detail above, generally preserve the charge and
hydrophobicity at the site of
substitution, thus preserving the structure (and therefore function) of the
polypeptide.
Percent identity between polypeptide sequences may be determined using the
default parameters
of the CLUSTAL V algorithm as incorporated into the MEGALIGN version 3.12e
sequence alignment
program (described and referenced above). For pairwise alignments of
polypeptide sequences using
CLUSTAL V, the default parameters are set as follows: Ktuple-=1, gap
penalty=3, window=5, and
"diagonals saved''=5. The PAM250 matrix is selected as the default residue
weight table. As with
polynucleotide alignments, the percent identity is reported by CLUSTAL V as
the ''percent similarity'
between aligned polypeptide sequence pairs.
Alternatively the NCBI BLAST software suite may be used. For example, for a
pairwise
comparison of two polypeptide sequences, one may use the "BLAST 2 Sequences"
tool Version 2Ø12
(Apr-21-2000) with blastp set at default parameters. Such default parameters
may be, for example:

Percent identity may be measured over the length of an entire defined
polypeptide sequence, for
example, as defined by a particular SEQ ID number, or may be measured over a
shorter length, for
example, over the length of a fragment taken from a larger, defined
polypeptide sequence, for instance,
a fragment of at least 15, at least 20, at least 30, at least 40, at least 50,
at least 70 or at least 150
contiguous residues. Such lengths are exemplary only, and it is understood
that any fragment length
supported by the sequences shown herein, in the tables, figures or Sequence
Listing, may be used to
describe a length over which percentage identity may be measured.
"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
chromosome replication, segregation and maintenance.
The term ''humanized antibody" refers to an antibody molecule 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 the process by which a polynucleotide strand anneals
with a
complementary strand through base pairing under defined hybridization
conditions. Specific
hybridization is an indication that two nucleic acid sequences share a high
degree of complementarity.
Specific hybridization complexes form under permissive annealing conditions
and remain hybridized
after the "washing" step(s). The washing steps) is particularly important in
determining the stringency
of the hybridization process, with more stringent conditions allowing less non-
specific binding, i.e.,
binding between pairs of nucleic acid strands that are not perfectly matched.
Permissive conditions for
annealing of nucleic acid sequences are routinely determinable by one of
ordinary skill in the art and
may be consistent among hybridization experiments, whereas wash conditions may
be varied among
experiments to achieve the desired stringency, and therefore hybridization
specificity. Permissive
annealing conditions occur, for example, at 68°C in the presence of
about 6 x SSC, about 190 (w/v)
SDS, and about 100 ~g/ml sheared, denatured salmon sperm DNA.
Generally, stringency of hybridization is expressed, in part, with reference
to the temperature
under which the wash step is carried out. Such wash temperatures are typically
selected to be about
5°C to 20°C lower than the thermal melting point (T~ for the
specific sequence at a defined ionic
strength and pH. The Tm is the temperature (under defined ionic strength and
pH) at which 5090 of the

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
target sequence hybridizes to a perfectly matched probe. An equation for
calculating Tm and conditions
for nucleic acid hybridization are well known and can be found in Sambrook, J.
et al., 1989, Molecular
Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., vol. 1-3, Cold Spring Harbor Press,
Plainview NY; specifically
see volume 2, chapter 9.
High stringency conditions for hybridization between polynucleotides of the
present invention
include wash conditions of 68°C in the presence of about 0.2 x SSC and
about 0.1 % SDS, for 1 hour.
Alternatively, temperatures of about 65°C, 60°C, 55°C, or
42°C may be used. SSC concentration may
be varied from about 0.1 to 2 x SSC, with SDS being present at about 0.1 %.
Typically, blocking
reagents are used to block non-specific hybridization. Such blocking reagents
include, for instance,
sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA at about 100-200 qg/ml. Organic
solvent, such as
formamide at a concentration of about 35-50% v/v, may also be used under
particular circumstances,
such as for RNA:DNA hybridizations. Useful variations on these wash conditions
will be readily
apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. Hybridization, particularly
under high stringency
conditions, may be suggestive of evolutionary similarity between the
nucleotides. Such similarity is
strongly indicative of a similar role for the nucleotides and their encoded
polypeptides.
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 Rot 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" and "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.
"Immune response'' can refer to conditions associated with inflammation,
trauma, immune
2~ 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.
An ''immunogenic fragment" is a polypeptide or oligopeptide fragment of FLEXHT
which is
capable of eliciting an immune response when introduced into a living
organism, for example, a
mammal. The term ''immunogenic fragment" also includes any polypeptide or
oligopeptide fragment of
FLEXHT which is useful in any of the antibody production methods disclosed
herein or known in the
art.
The term "microarray'' refers to an arrangement of a plurality of
polynucleotides, polypeptides,
or other chemical compounds on a substrate.
16

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
The terms ''element" and "array element" refer to a polynucleotide,
polypeptide, or other
chemical compound having a unique and defined position on a microarray.
The term "modulate" refers to a change in the activity of FLEXHT. For example,
modulation
may cause an increase or a decrease in protein activity, binding
characteristics, or any other biological,
functional, or immunological properties of FLEXHT.
The phrases ''nucleic acid" and ''nucleic acid sequence" refer to a
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-
like material.
"Operably linked" refers to the situation in which a first nucleic acid
sequence is placed in a
functional relationship with a second nucleic acid sequence. For instance, a
promoter is operably
linked to a coding sequence if the promoter affects the transcription or
expression of the coding
sequence. Operably linked DNA sequences may be in close proximity or
contiguous and, where
necessary to join two protein coding regions, in the same reading frame.
"Peptide nucleic acid" (PNA) refers to an antisense molecule or anti-gene
agent which
comprises an oligonucleotide 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.
"Post-translational modification" of an FLEXHT may involve lipidation,
glycosylation,
phosphorylation, acetylation, racemization, proteolytic cleavage, and other
modifications known in the
art. These processes may occur synthetically or biochemically. Biochemical
modifications will vary by
cell type depending on the enzymatic milieu of FLEXHT.
"Probe" refers to nucleic acid sequences encoding FLEXHT, their complements,
or fragments
thereof, which are used to detect identical, allelic or related nucleic acid
sequences. Probes are
isolated oligonucleotides or polynucleotides attached to a detectable label or
reporter molecule. Typical
labels include radioactive isotopes, ligands, chemiluminescent agents, and
enzymes. "Primers'' are
short nucleic acids, usually DNA oligonucleotides, which may be annealed to a
target polynucleotide by
complementary base-pairing. The primer may then be extended along the target
DNA strand by a DNA
polymerise enzyme. Primer pairs can be used for amplification (and
identification) of a nucleic acid
sequence, e.g., by the polymerise chain reaction (PCR).
Probes and primers as used in the present invention typically comprise at
least 15 contiguous
nucleotides of a known sequence. In order to enhance specificity, longer
probes and primers may also
be employed, such as probes and primers that comprise at least 20, 25, 30, 40,
50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100,
or at least 150 consecutive nucleotides of the disclosed nucleic acid
sequences. Probes and primers may
17

be considerably loner than these examples, and it is understood that any
length supported by the
specification, including the tables, figures, and Sequence Listing, may be
used.
Methods for preparing and using probes and primers are described in the
references, for
example Sambrook, J. et al., 1989, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2"d

Spring Harbor Press, Plainview NY; Ausubel, F.M. et a1.,1987, Current

PCR primer pairs
can be derived from a known sequence, for example, by using computer programs
intended for that
purpose such as Primer (Version 0.5, 1991, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical
Research, Cambridge
MA).
Oligonucleotides for use as primers are selected using software known in the
art for such
purpose. For example, OLIGO 4.06 software is useful for the selection of PCR
primer pairs of up to
100 nucleotides each, and for the analysis of oligonucleotides and larger
polynucleotides of up to 5,000
nucleotides from an input polynucleotide sequence of up to 32 kilobases.
Similar primer selection
programs have incorporated additional features for expanded capabilities. For
example, the PrimOU
primer selection program (available to the public from the Genome Center at
University of Texas South
West Medical Center, Dallas TX) is capable of choosing specific primers from
megabase sequences
and is thus useful for designing primers on a genome-wide scope. The Primer3
primer selection
program (available to the public from the Whitehead Institute/MIT Center for
Genome Research,
Cambridge MA) allows the user to input a ''nuspriming library,'' in which
sequences to avoid as primer
binding sites are user-specified. Primer3 is useful, in particular, for the
selection of oligonucleotides for
microarrays. (The source code for the latter two primer selection programs may
also be obtained from
their respective sources and modified to meet the user's specific needs.) The
PrimeGen program
(available to the public from the UK Human Genome Mapping Project Resource
Centre, Cambridge
UK) designs primers based on multiple sequence alignments, thereby allowing
selection of primers that
hybridize to either the most conserved or least conserved regions of aligned
nucleic acid sequences.
Hence, this program is useful for identification of both unique and conserved
oligonucleotides and
polynucleotide fragments. The oligonucleotides and polynucleotide fragments
identified by any of the
above selection methods are useful in hybridization technologies, for example,
as PCR or sequencing
primers, microarray elements, or specific probes to identify fully or
partially complementary
polynucleotides in a sample of nucleic acids. Methods of oligonucleotide
selection are not limited to
those described above.
A "recombinant nucleic acid'' is a sequence that is not naturally occurring or
has a sequence
that is made by an artificial combination of two or more otherwise separated
segments of sequence.
18

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
This artificial combination is often accomplished by chenucal synthesis or,
more commonly, by the
artificial manipulation of isolated segments of nucleic acids, e.g., by
genetic engineering techniques
such as those described in Sambrook, supra. The term recombinant includes
nucleic acids that have
been altered solely by addition, substitution, or deletion of a portion of the
nucleic acid. Frequently, a
recombinant nucleic acid may include a nucleic acid sequence operably linked
to a promoter sequence.
Such a recombinant nucleic acid may be part of a vector that is used, for
example, to transform a cell.
Alternatively, such recombinant nucleic acids may be part of a viral vector,
e.g., based on a
vaccinia virus, that could be use to vaccinate a mammal wherein the
recombinant nucleic acid is
expressed, inducing a protective immunological response in the mammal.
A "regulatory element" refers to a nucleic acid sequence usually derived from
untranslated
regions of a gene and includes enhancers, promoters, introns, and 5' and 3'
untranslated regions (UTRs).
Regulatory elements interact with host or viral proteins which control
transcription, translation, or RNA
stability.
''Reporter molecules" are chemical or biochemical moieties used for labeling a
nucleic acid,
amino acid, or antibody. Reporter molecules include radionuclides; enzymes;
fluorescent,
chemiluminescent, or chromogenic agents; substrates; cofactors; inhibitors;
magnetic particles; and
other moieties known in the art.
An "RNA equivalent," in reference to a DNA sequence, is composed of the same
linear
sequence of nucleotides as the reference DNA sequence with the exception that
all occurrences of the
nitrogenous base thymine are replaced with uracil, and the sugar backbone is
composed of ribose
instead of deoxyribose.
The term "sample'' is used in its broadest sense. A sample suspected of
containing nucleic
acids encoding FLEXHT, or fragments thereof, or FLEXHT itself, may comprise a
bodily fluid; an
extract fiom 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'' and "specifically binding" refer to that
interaction between a
protein or peptide and an agonist, an antibody, an antagonist, a small
molecule, or any natural or
synthetic binding composition. 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 specific for epitope ''A," the presence of a
polypeptide comprising 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 "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 60~7o free,
19

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
preferably at least 75% free, and most preferably at least 90% free from other
components with which
they are naturally associated.
A "substitution'' refers to the replacement of one or more amino acid residues
or nucleotides by
different amino acid residues 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.
A "transcript image' refers to the collective pattern of gene expression by a
particular cell type
or tissue under given conditions at a given time.
''Transformation'' describes a process by which exogenous DNA is introduced
into 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,
bacteriophage or 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 "transgenic organism," as used herein, is any organism, including but not
limited to
animals and plants, in which one or more of the cells of the organism contains
heterologous nucleic
acid introduced by way of human intervention, such as by transgenic techniques
well known in the
art. The nucleic acid is introduced into the cell, directly or indirectly by
introduction into a precursor
of the cell, by way of deliberate genetic manipulation, such as by
microinjection or by infection with
a recombinant virus. The term genetic manipulation does not include classical
cross-breeding, or in
vitro fertilization, but rather is directed to the introduction of a
recombinant DNA molecule. The
transgenic organisms contemplated in accordance with the present invention
include bacteria,
cyanobacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. The isolated DNA of the present
invention can be
introduced into the host by methods known in the art, for example infection,
transfection,
transformation or transconjugation. Techniques for transferring the DNA of the
present invention
into such organisms are widely known and provided in references such as
Sambrook et al. (1989),
supra.
A "variant'' of a particular nucleic acid sequence is defined as a nucleic
acid sequence having at
least 40% sequence identity to the particular nucleic acid sequence over a
certain length of one of the
nucleic acid sequences using blastn with the "BLAST 2 Sequences'' tool Version
2Ø9 (May-07-1999)

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
set at default parameters. Such a pair of nucleic acids may show, for example,
at least 50%, at least
60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95% or
at least 98% or greater
sequence identity over a certain defined length. A variant may be described
as, for example, an ''allelic"
(as defined above), "splice,'' "species," or "polymorphic'' variant. A splice
variant may have significant
identity to a reference molecule, but will generally have a greater or lesser
number of polynucleotides
due to alternative splicing of exons during mRNA processing. The corresponding
polypeptide may
possess additional functional domains or lack domains that are present in the
reference molecule.
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 nucleotide base. The presence
of SNPs may be
indicative of, for example, a certain population, a disease state, or a
propensity for a disease state.
A "variant" of a particular polypeptide sequence is defined as a polypeptide
sequence having at
least 40% sequence identity to the particular polypeptide sequence over a
certain length of one of the
polypeptide sequences using blastp with the "BLAST 2 Sequences" tool Version
2Ø9 (May-07-1999)
set at default parameters. Such a pair of polypeptides may show, for example,
at least 50%, at least
60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 98%
or greater sequence
identity over a certain defined length of one of the polypeptides.
THE INVENTION
The invention is based on the discovery of new full-length molecules expressed
in human
tissues (FLEXHT), the polynucleotides encoding FLEXHT, and the use of these
compositions for the
analysis of human gene expression, genetic linkage, and genetic variability,
and for the diagnosis,
treatment, or prevention of developmental, cell proliferative, and
immunological disorders.

sequences encoding
FLEXHT. Columns 1 and 2 show the sequence identification numbers (SEQ ID NOs)
of the
polypeptide and nucleotide sequences, respectively. Column 3 shows the clone
IDs of the Incyte clones
in which nucleic acids encoding each FLEXHT were identified, and column 4
shows the cDNA libraries
from which these clones were isolated. Column 5 shows Incyte clones and their
corresponding cDNA
libraries. Clones for which cDNA libraries are not indicated were derived from
pooled cDNA libraries.
The Incyte clones in column 5 were used to assemble the consensus nucleotide
sequence of each
FLEXHT and are useful as fragments in hybridization technologies.

residues in each
3~ polypeptide; column 3 shows potential phosphorylation sites: and column 4
shows potential

glycosylation sites.
The columns of Table 3 show the tissue-specificity and diseases, disorders, or
conditions
associated with nucleotide sequences encoding FLEXHT. The Iirst column of
Table 3 lists the
nucleotide SEQ ID NOs. Column 2 lists fragments of the nucleotide sequences of
column 1. These
fragments are useful. for example, in hybridization or amplification
technologies to identify SEQ ID
N0:56-110 and to distinguish between SEQ ID N0:56-110 and related
polynucleotide sequences.
The polypeptides encoded by the indicated fragments of SEQ ID N0:56, SEQ ID
N0:58-69, SEQ ID
N0:71-72, SEQ ID N0:74-76, SEQ ID N0:79-85, SEQ ID N0:87, SEQ ID N0:90-98, SEQ
ID
NO:100-103, and SEQ ID NO:105-110 are useful, for example, as immunogenic
peptides. Column 3
lists tissue categories which express FLEXHT as a fraction of total tissues
expressing FLEXHT.
Column 4 lists diseases, disorders, or conditions associated with those
tissues expressing FLEXHT as a
fraction of total tissues expressing FLEXHT. Column 5 lists the vectors used

cDNA libraries
from which cDNA clones encoding FLEXHT were isolated. Column 1 references the
nucleotide SEQ
ID NOs, column 2 shows the cDNA libraries from which these clones were
isolated, and column 3
shows the tissue origins and other descriptive information relevant to the
cDNA libraries in column 2.
The columns of Table 5 show various properties of polypeptides of the
invention: column 1
references the SEQ ID NO; column 2 shows the identity of the polypeptide along
with relevant
citations, all of which are expressly incorporated by reference herein in
their entirety; column 3 shows
the amino acid residues comprising signature sequences, domains, and motifs,
and homologous
sequences as identified by BLAST analysis; and column 4 shows analytical
methods and in some cases,
searchable databases to which the analytical methods were applied. The methods
of column 4 were
used to characterize each polypeptide through sequence homology and protein
motifs.
The invention incorporates the nucleic acid sequences disclosed in the
Sequence Listing and the
use of these sequences in the diagnosis and treatment of disease states
characterized by altered
expression of FLEXHT genes or defects in FLEXHT protein function. The
invention further utilizes
these sequences in hybridization and amplification technologies, and in
particular, in technologies which
comprehensively assess gene expression patterns correlated with specific cells
or tissues and their
responses in vivo or in vitro to pharmaceutical agents, toxins. and other
treatments. In this manner, the
sequences of the present invention are used to develop a transcript image for
a particular cell or tissue.
The invention also encompasses FLEXHT variants. A preferred FLEXHT variant is
one which
has at least about 80%, or alternatively at least about 90%, or even at least
about 95% amino acid
sequence identity to the FLEXHT amino acid sequence, and which contains at
least one functional or
22

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
structural characteristic of FLEXHT.
The invention also encompasses polynucleotides which encode FLEXHT. In a
particular
embodiment, the invention encompasses a polynucleotide sequence comprising a
sequence selected from
the group consisting of SEQ ID N0:56-110, which encodes FLEXHT. The
polynucleotide sequences
~ of SEQ ID N0:56-110, as presented in the Sequence Listing, embrace the
equivalent RNA sequences,
wherein occurrences of the nitrogenous base thymine are replaced with uracil,
and the sugar backbone
is composed of ribose instead of deoxyribose.
The invention also encompasses a variant of a polynucleotide sequence encoding
FLEXHT. In
particular, such a variant polynucleotide sequence will have at least about
70%, or alternatively at least
about 85 %, or even at least about 95 % polynucleotide sequence identity to
the polynucleotide sequence
encoding FLEXHT. A particular aspect of the invention encompasses a variant of
a polynucleotide
sequence comprising a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID
N0:56-110 which has at
least about 70%, or alternatively at least about 85%, or even at least about
95% polynucleotide
sequence identity to a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group
consisting of SEQ ID N0:56-110.
Any one of the polynucleotide variants described above can encode an amino
acid sequence which
contains at least one functional or structural characteristic of FLEXHT.
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 FLEXHT, 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 FLEXHT, and all such variations are to be considered as being
specifically disclosed.
Although nucleotide sequences which encode FLEXHT and its variants are
generally capable of
hybridizing to the nucleotide sequence of the naturally occurring FLEXHT under
appropriately selected
conditions of stringency, it may be advantageous to produce nucleotide
sequences encoding FLEXHT
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 FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT
and
23

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT or any fragment thereof.
Hybridization
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
N0:56-110 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 NaCl and
50 mM trisodium
citrate, and most preferably less than about 250 mM NaCl 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
NaCl, 75 mM trisodium citrate, and 1 % SDS. In a more preferred embodiment,
hybridization will
occur at 37°C in 500 mM NaCl, 50 mM trisodium citrate, 1% SDS, 35%
formamide, and 100 ~c~ml
denatured salmon sperm DNA (ssDNA). In a most preferred embodiment,
hybridization will occur at
42°C in 250 mM NaCl, 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 NaCl
and 3 mM trisodium
citrate, and most preferably less than about 15 mM NaCl 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 NaCl, 3 mM trisodium
citrate, and 0.1% SDS.
In a more preferred embodiment, wash steps will occur at 42°C in 15 mM
NaCl, 1.5 mM trisodium
24

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
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. Further examples of
hybridization conditions, including
annealing and wash conditions, are described in ''Definitions."
~ cDNA Sequencing
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 MICROLAB 2200 liquid transfer system (Hamilton, Reno NV),
PTC200 thermal
cycler (MJ Research, Watertown MA) and ABI CATALYST 800 thermal cycler (Perkin-
Elmer).
Sequencing is then carried out using either the ABI 373 or 377 DNA sequencing
system (Perkin-
Elmer), the MEGABACE 1000 DNA sequencing system (Molecular Dynamics, Sunnyvale
CA), or
other systems known in the art. 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 Biolo~y and
Biotechnolo~y, Wiley VCH, New York NY, pp. 856-853.)
The nucleic acid sequences encoding FLEXHT 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
legations 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. 19:3055-3060).
Additionally, one may use PCR, nested primers, and PROMOTERFINDER libraries
(Clontech, Palo
2~

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/LTS00/13299
Alto CA) to walk genomic DNA. This procedure avoids the need to screen
libraries and is useful in
fording 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 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.
cDNA Expression
In another embodiment of the invention, polynucleotide sequences or fragments
thereof which
encode FLEXHT may be cloned in recombinant DNA molecules that direct
expression of FLEXHT, 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 FLEXHT.
The nucleotide sequences of the present invention can be engineered using
methods generally
known in the art in order to alter FLEXHT-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.
The nucleotides of the present invention may be subjected to DNA shuffling
techniques such
26

as MOLECULARBREEDING (Maxygen Inc., Santa Clara CA; described in U.S. Patent
Number

Biotechnol. 17:259-264; and Crameri, A. et al. (1996) Nat. Biotechnol. 14:315-
319) to alter or
improve the biological properties of FLEXHT, such as its biological or
enzymatic activity or its
~ ability to bind to other molecules or compounds. DNA shuffling is a process
by which a library of
gene variants is produced using PCR-mediated recombination of gene fragments.
The library is then
subjected to selection or screening procedures that identify those gene
variants with the desired
properties. These preferred variants may then be pooled and further subjected
to recursive rounds of
DNA shuffling and selection/screening. Thus, genetic diversity is created
through "artificial"
breeding and rapid molecular evolution. For example, fragments of a single
gene containing random
point mutations may be recombined, screened, and then reshuffled until the
desired properties are
optimized. Alternatively, fragments of a given gene may be recombined with
fragments of
homologous genes in the same gene family, either from the same or different
species, thereby
maximizing the genetic diversity of multiple naturally occurring genes in a
directed and controllable
manner.
In another embodiment, sequences encoding FLEXHT 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) Nucleic Acids
Symp. Ser. 7:215-223; and Horn, T. et al. (1980) Nucleic Acids Symp. Ser.
7:225-232.) Alternatively,
FLEXHT itself or a fragment thereof may be synthesized using chemical methods.
For example,
peptide synthesis can be performed using various solution-phase or solid-phase
techniques. (See, e.g.,
Creighton, T. (1984) Proteins, Structures and Molecular Properties, WH
Freeman, New York NY, pp.
55-60; and 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
FLEXHT, 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 or
a polypeptide having a
sequence of a naturally occurring polypeptide.
The peptide may be substantially purified by preparative high performance
liquid
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, supra, pp. 28-53.)
In order to express a biologically active FLEXHT, the nucleotide sequences
encoding FLEXHT
or derivatives thereof may be inserted into an appropriate expression vector,
i.e., a vector which
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
27

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
polynucleotide sequences encoding FLEXHT. Such elements may vary in their
strength and specificity.
Specific initiation signals may also be used to achieve more efficient
translation of sequences encoding
FLEXHT. Such signals include the ATG initiation codon and adjacent sequences,
e.g. the Kozak
sequence. In cases where sequences encoding FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT 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~y, 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 FLEXHT. 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. (See, e.g., Sambrook, supra: Ausubel, supra; Van Heeke,

J.J. et al. (1997) Nat. Genet. 15:345-355.) Expression vectors derived from
retroviruses,
adenoviruses, or herpes or vaccinia viruses, or from various bacterial
plasmids, may be used for
3~ delivery of nucleotide sequences to the targeted organ, tissue, or cell
population. (See, e.g., Di

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 FLEXHT. For
example, routine cloning,
subcloning, and propagation of polynucleotide sequences encoding FLEXHT can be
achieved using a
multifunctional E. coli vector such as PBLUESCRIPT (Stratagene, La Jolla CA)
or PSPORT1 plasmid
(Life Technologies). Ligation of sequences encoding FLEXHT into the vector's
multiple cloning site
disrupts the lacZ 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 FLEXHT are needed, e.g. for the
production of antibodies,
vectors which direct high level expression of FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT. A number of
vectors
containing constitutive or inducible promoters, such as alpha factor, alcohol
oxidase, and PGH
promoters, 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;
Bitter, su ra; and Scorer, supra.)
Plant systems may also be used for expression of FLEXHT. Transcription of
sequences
encoding FLEXHT may be driven viral promoters, e.g., the 35S 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, supra: Brogue, supra; and Winter,
supra.) 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 Technoloey
(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 FLEXHT
may be ligated into
an adenovirus transcription/translation complex consisting of the late
promoter and tripartite leader
sequence. Insertion in a non-essential E1 or E3 region of the viral genome may
be used to obtain
29

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
infective virus which expresses FLEXHT in host cells. (See, e.g., Logan, J.
and T. Shenk (1984) Prcx;.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 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 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
FLEXHT in cell lines is preferred. For example. sequences encoding FLEXHT 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- and 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 and pat confer
resistance to
chlorsulfuron and phosphinotricin acetyltransferase, respectively. (See, e.g.,
Wigler, M. et al. (1980)
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 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. USA
85:8047-8051.) Visible markers, e.g., anthocyanins, green fluorescent proteins
(GFP; Clontech), li
glucuronidase and its substrate li-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

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
sequence encoding FLEXHT is inserted within a marker gene sequence,
transformed cells containing
sequences encoding FLEXHT can be identified by the absence of marker gene
function. Alternatively,
a marker gene can be placed in tandem with a sequence encoding FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT
and that express
FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT
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 FLEXHT 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 Immunolo~y> Greene Pub. Associates and
Wiley-Interscience, New
York NY; and Pound, J.D. (1998) Immunochemical 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
FLEXHT include
oligolabeling, nick translation, end-labeling, or PCR amplification using a
labeled nucleotide.
Alternatively, the sequences encoding FLEXHT, 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 polymerase
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 FLEXHT 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
31

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
and/or the vector used. As will be understood by those of skill in the art,
expression vectors containing
polynucleotides which encode FLEXHT may be designed to contain signal
sequences which direct
secretion of FLEXHT through a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell membrane.
In addition, a host cell strain may be chosen for its ability to modulate
expression of the
inserted sequences or to process the expressed protein in the desired fashion.
Such modifications of the
polypeptide include, but are not limited to, acetylation, carboxylation,
glycosylation, phosphorylation,
lipidation, and acylation. Post-translational processing which cleaves a
"prepro" or ''pro" form 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, Mantissas VA) 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 FLEXHT may be ligated to a heterologous sequence resulting
in translation of a
1~ fusion protein in any of the aforementioned host systems. For example, a
chimeric FLEXHT protein
containing a heterologous moiety that can be recognized by a commercially
available antibody may
facilitate the screening of peptide libraries for inhibitors of FLEXHT
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, CBP, and 6-His enable purification
of their cognate
fusion proteins on immobilized glutathione, maltose, phenylarsine oxide,
calmodulin, and metal-chelate
resins, respectively. FLAG, c-myc, and hemagglutinin (HA) enable
immunoaflinity purification of
fusion proteins using commercially available monoclonal and polyclonal
antibodies that specifically
2~ recognize these epitope tags. A fusion protein may also be engineered to
contain a proteolytic cleavage
site located between the FLEXHT encoding sequence and the heterologous protein
sequence, so that
FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT may
be achieved
in vitro using the TNT rabbit reticulocyte lysate or wheat germ extract system
(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, for example, 3'S-methionine.
32

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
Fragments of FLEXHT may be produced not only by recombinant production, but
also by
direct peptide synthesis using solid-phase techniques. (See, e.g., Creighton,
supra, 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 fragments of
FLEXHT may be synthesized separately and then combined to produce the full
length molecule.
Screening Assays
FLEXHT of the present invention or fragments thereof may be used to screen for
compounds
that specifically bind to FLEXHT. At least one and up to a plurality of test
compounds may be
screened for specific binding to FLEXHT. Examples of test compounds include
antibodies,
oligonucleotides, proteins (e.g., receptors), or small molecules.
In one embodiment, the compound thus identified is closely related to the
natural ligand of
FLEXHT, e.g., a ligand or fragment thereof, a natural substrate, a structural
or functional mimetic, or
a natural binding partner. (See, Coligan, J.E. et al. (1991) Current Protocols
in Immunolo~y 1(2):
Chapter 5.) Similarly, the compound can be closely related to the natural
receptor to which FLEXHT
binds, or to at least a fragment of the receptor, e.g., the ligand binding
site. In either case, the
compound can be rationally designed using known techniques. In one embodiment,
screening for
these compounds involves producing appropriate cells which express FLEXHT,
either as a secreted
protein or on the cell membrane. Preferred cells include cells from mammals,
yeast, Drosophila, or E.
coli. Cells expressing FLEXHT or cell membrane fractions which contain FLEXHT
are then
contacted with a test compound and binding, stimulation, or inhibition of
activity of either FLEXHT
or the compound is analyzed.
An assay may simply test binding of a test compound to the polypeptide,
wherein binding is
detected by a fluorophore, radioisotope, enzyme conjugate, or other detectable
label. For example,
the assay may comprise the steps of combining at least one test compound with
FLEXHT, either in
solution or affixed to a solid support, and detecting the binding of FLEXHT to
the compound.
Alternatively, the assay may detect or measure binding of a test compound in
the presence of a
labeled competitor. Additionally, the assay may be carried out using cell-free
preparations, chemical
libraries, or natural product mixtures, and the test compounds) may be free in
solution or affixed to a
solid support.
FLEXHT of the present invention or fragments thereof may be used to screen for
compounds
that modulate the activity of FLEXHT. Such compounds may include agonists,
antagonists, or partial
or inverse agonists. In one embodiment, an assay is performed under conditions
permissive for
FLEXHT activity, wherein FLEXHT is combined with at least one test compound,
and the activity of
FLEXHT in the presence of a test compound is compared with the activity of
FLEXHT in the absence
of the test compound. A change in the activity of FLEXHT in the presence of
the test compound is
33

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
indicative of a compound that modulates the activity of FLEXHT. Alternatively,
a test compound is
combined with an in vitro or cell-free system comprising FLEXHT under
conditions suitable for
FLEXHT activity. and the assay is performed. In either of these assays, a test
compound which
modulates the activity of FLEXHT may do so indirectly and need not come in
direct contact with the
test compound. At least one and up to a plurality of test compounds may be
screened.
Preferably, an ELISA assay using, e.g., a monoclonal or polyclonal antibody,
can measure
polypeptide level in a sample. The antibody can measure polypeptide level by
either binding, directly
or indirectly, to the polypeptide or by competing with the polypeptide for a
substrate.
All of the above assays can be used in a diagnostic or prognostic context. The
molecules
discovered using these assays can be used to treat disease or to bring about a
particular result in a
patient (e.g., blood vessel growth) by activating or inhibiting the
polypeptide/molecule. Moreover,
the assays can discover agents which may inhibit or enhance the production of
the polypeptide from
suitably manipulated cells or tissues.
Transcript Ima~in~
Another embodiment relates to the use of polynucleotide sequences encoding
FLEXGEM to
develop a transcript image of a tissue or cell type. A transcript image is the
collective pattern of gene
expression by a particular tissue or cell type under given conditions and at a
given time. This pattern
of gene expression is defined by the number of expressed genes and their
abundance. Thus the
polynucleotide sequences of the present invention may be used to develop a
transcript image of a
tissue or cell type by hybridizing, preferably in a microarray format, the
polynucleotide sequences of
the present invention to the totality of transcripts or reverse transcripts of
a tissue or cell type. The
resultant transcript image would provide a profile of FLEXGEM gene activity.
Transcript images which profile FLEXGEM gene expression may be generated using
transcripts isolated from tissues, cell lines, biopsies, or other biological
samples. The transcript
image may thus reflect FLEXGEM gene expression in vivo, as in the case of a
tissue or biopsy
sample, or in vitro, as in the case of a cell line. Transcript images may be
used to profile FLEXGEM
gene expression in distinct tissue types. This process can be used to
determine FLEXGEM gene
activity in a particular tissue type relative to this activity in a different
tissue type. Transcript images
may be used to generate a profile of FLEXGEM gene expression characteristic of
diseased tissue.
Transcript images of tissues before and after treatment may be used for
diagnostic purposes, to
monitor the progression of disease, and to monitor the efficacy of drug
treatments for diseases which
affect the activity of genes encoding FLEXGEM.
Transcript images which profile FLEXGEM gene expression may also be used in
conjunction
with in vitro model systems and preclinical evaluation of pharmaceuticals.
Transcript images of cell
lines can be used to assess FLEXGEM activity and/or to identify cell lines
that lack or misregulate
3=1

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
this activity. Such cell lines may then be treated with pharmaceutical agents,
and a transcript image
following treatment may indicate the efficacy of these agents in restoring
desired levels of this
activity. A similar approach may be used to assess the toxicity of
pharmaceutical agents as reflected
by undesirable changes in FLEXGEM activity. Candidate pharmaceutical agents
may be evaluated
by comparing their associated transcript images with those of pharmaceutical
agents of known
effectiveness.
Trans~enic Animals
In another embodiment, polynucleotides encoding FLEXHT or their mammalian
homologs
may be "knocked out" in an animal model system using homologous recombination
in embryonic
stem (ES) cells. Such techniques are well known in the art and are useful for
the generation of animal
models of human disease. (See, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 5,175,383 and U.S. Patent
No. 5.767,337.) For
example, mouse ES cells, such as the mouse 129/SvJ cell line, are derived from
the early mouse
embryo and grown in culture. The ES cells are transformed with a vector
containing the gene of
interest disrupted by a marker gene, e.g., the neomycin phosphotransferase
gene (neo; Capecclii, M.R.
(1989) Science 244:1288-1292). The vector integrates into the corresponding
region of the host
genome by homologous recombination. Alternatively, homologous recombination
takes place using
the Cre-IoxP system to knockout a gene of interest in a tissue- or
developmental stage-specific
manner (March, J.D. (1996) Clin. Invest. 97:1999-2002; Wagner, K.U. et al.
(1997) Nucleic Acids
Res. 25:4323-4330). Transformed ES cells are identified and microinjected into
mouse cell
blastocysts such as those from the C57BL/6 mouse strain. The blastocysts are
surgically transferred
to pseudopregnant dams, and the resulting chimeric progeny are genotyped and
bred to produce
heterozygous or homozygous strains. Transgenic animals thus generated may be
tested with potential
therapeutic or toxic agents.
Polynucleotides encoding FLEXHT may also be manipulated in vitro in ES cells
derived
from human blastocysts. Human ES cells have the potential to differentiate
into at least eight separate
cell lineages including endoderm, mesoderm, and ectodermal cell types. These
cell lineages
differentiate into, for example, neural cells, hematopoietic lineages, and
cardiomyocytes (Thomson,
J.A. et al. (1998) Science 282:1145-1147).
Polynucleotides encoding FLEXHT can also be used to create "knockin" humanized
animals
(pigs) or transgenic animals (mice or rats) to model human disease. With
knockin technology, a
region of a polynucleotide encoding FLEXHT is injected into animal ES cells,
and the injected
sequence integrates into the animal cell genome. Transformed cells are
injected into blastulae, and
the blastulae are implanted as described above. Transgenic progeny or inbred
lines are studied and
treated with potential pharmaceutical agents to obtain information on
treatment of a human disease.
Alternatively. a mammal inbred to overexpress FLEXHT, e.g., by secreting
FLEXHT in its nulk, may
3~

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
also serve as a convenient source of that protein (Janne, J. et al. (1998)
Biotechnol. Annu. Rev. 4:55-
74).
THERAPEUTICS
Chemical and structural similarity, e.g., in the context of sequences and
motifs, exists
~ between regions of FLEXHT and full-length molecules expressed in human
tissues. In addition, the
expression of FLEXHT is closely associated with cell proliferation and the
immune response.
Therefore, FLEXHT appears to play a role in developmental, cell proliferative,
and immunological
disorders. In the treatment of disorders associated with increased FLEXHT
expression or activity, it
is desirable to decrease the expression or activity of FLEXHT. In the
treatment of disorders
associated with decreased FLEXHT expression or activity, it is desirable to
increase the expression or
activity of FLEXHT.
Therefore, in one embodiment, FLEXHT or a fragment or derivative thereof may
be
administered to a subject to treat or prevent a disorder associated with

In another embodiment, a vector capable of expressing FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT including, but not limited to, those
described above.
In a further embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a
substantially purified
FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT including, but
not limited to, those provided above.
In still another embodiment, an agonist which modulates the activity of FLEXHT
may be
administered to a subject to treat or prevent a disorder associated with
decreased expression or activity
of FLEXHT including, but not limited to, those listed above.
In a further embodiment, an antagonist of FLEXHT may be administered to a
subject to treat
or prevent a disorder associated with increased expression or activity of
FLEXHT. Examples of such
disorders include, but are not limited to, those developmental, cell
proliferative, and immunological
disorders described above. In one aspect, an antibody which specifically binds
FLEXHT may be used
directly as an antagonist or indirectly as a targeting or delivery mechanism
for bringing a
pharmaceutical agent to cells or tissues which express FLEXHT.
In an additional embodiment, a vector expressing the complement of the
polynucleotide
encoding FLEXHT may be administered to a subject to treat or prevent a
disorder associated with
increased expression or activity of FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT may be produced using methods which are generally
known in the
37

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
art. In particular, purified FLEXHT may be used to produce antibodies or to
screen libraries of
pharmaceutical agents to identify those which specifically bind FLEXHT.
Antibodies to FLEXHT 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, and
fragments produced by a Fab expression library. Neutralizing antibodies (i.e.,
those which inhibit
dimer formation) are generally 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 FLEXHT or with any fiagment 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
FLEXHT have an amino acid sequence consisting of at least about 5 amino acids,
and generally will
consist 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. Short stretches of
FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT 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. USA
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. USA 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
FLEXHT-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. USA 88:10134-10137.)
38

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
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.
USA 86:3833-3837; Winter,
G. et al. (1991) Nature 349:293-299.)
Antibody fragments which contain specific binding sites for FLEXHT may also be
generated.
For example, such fragments include, but are not limited to, F(ab~~ fragments
produced by pepsin
digestion of the antibody molecule and Fab fragments generated by reducing the
disulfide 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 specilicities are well
known in the art. Such
immunoassays typically involve the measurement of complex formation between
FLEXHT and its
specific antibody. A two-site, monoclonal-based immunoassay utilizing
monoclonal antibodies reactive
to two non-interfering FLEXHT epitopes is generally used, 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 FLEXHT. Affinity is
expressed as an association
constant, Ka, which is defined as the molar concentration of FLEXHT-antibody
complex divided by the
molar concentrations of free antigen and free antibody under equilibrium
conditions. The Ka determined
for a preparation of polyclonal antibodies, which are heterogeneous in their
affinities for multiple
FLEXHT epitopes, represents the average affinity, or avidity, of the
antibodies for FLEXHT. The Ka
determined for a preparation of monoclonal antibodies, which are monospecific
for a particular
FLEXHT epitope, represents a true measure of affinity. High-affinity antibody
preparations with I~
ranging from about 109 to 10'2 L/mole are preferred for use in immunoassays in
which the FLEXHT-
antibody complex must withstand rigorous manipulations. Low-affinity antibody
preparations with I~
ranging from about 10~ to 10' L/mole are preferred for use in
immunopurification and similar
procedures which ultimately require dissociation of FLEXHT, preferably in
active form. from the
antibody (Catty, D. (1988) Antibodies. Volume I: A Practical Approach, IRL
Press, Washington DC;
Liddell, J.E. and A. Cryer (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
39

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
polyclonal antibody preparation containing at least 1-2 mg specific
antibody/ml, preferably 5-10 mg
specific antibody/ml, is generally employed in procedures requiring
precipitation of FLEXHT-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, su ra, and
Coligan et al., supra.)
In another embodiment of the invention, the polynucleotides encoding FLEXHT,
or any
fragment or complement thereof, may be used for therapeutic purposes. In one
aspect, modifications of
gene expression can be achieved by designing complementary sequences or
antisense molecules (DNA,
RNA, PNA, or modified oligonucleotides) to the coding or regulatory regions of
the gene encoding
FLEXHT. Such technology is well known in the art, and antisense
oligonucleotides or larger fragments
can be designed from various locations along the coding or control regions of
sequences encoding
FLEXHT. (See, e.g., Agrawal, S., ed. (1996) Antisense Therapeutics, Humana
Press Inc., Totawa
NJ.)
In therapeutic use, any gene delivery system suitable for introduction of the
antisense
sequences into appropriate target cells can be used. Antisense sequences can
be delivered
intracellularly in the form of an expression plasmid which, upon
transcription, produces a sequence
complementary to at least a portion of the cellular sequence encoding the
target protein. (See, e.g.,
Slater, J.E. et al. (1998) J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 102(3):469-475; and
Scanlon, K.J. et al. (1995)
9(13):1288-1296.) Antisense sequences can also be introduced intracellularly
through the use of viral
vectors, such as retrovirus and adeno-associated virus vectors. (See, e.g.,
Miller, A.D. (1990) Blood
76:271; Ausubel, su ra; Uckert, W. and W. Walther (1994) Pharmacol. Ther.
63(3):323-347.) Other
gene delivery mechanisms include liposome-derived systems, artificial viral
envelopes, and other
systems known in the art. (See, e.g., Rossi, J.J. (1995) Br. Med. Bull.
51(1):217-225; Boado, R.J. et
al. (1998) J. Pharm. Sci. 87(11):1308-1315; and Moms, M.C. et al. (1997)
Nucleic Acids Res.
25(14):2730-2736.)
In another embodiment of the invention, polynucleotides encoding FLEXHT may be
used for
somatic or germline gene therapy. Gene therapy may be performed to (i) correct
a genetic deficiency
(e.g., in the cases of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-X1 disease
characterized by X-linked
inheritance (Cavazzana-Calvo, M. et al. (2000) Science 288:669-672), severe
combined
immunodeficiency syndrome associated with an inherited adenosine deaminase
(ADA) deficiency
(Blaese, R.M. et al. (1995) Science 270:475-480; Bordignon, C. et al. (1995)
Science 270:470-475),
cystic fibrosis (Zabner, J. et al. (1993) Cell 75:207-216; Crystal, R.G. et
al. (1995) Hum. Gene
Therapy 6:643-666; Crystal, R.G. et al. (1995) Hum. Gene Therapy 6:667-703),
thalassamias, familial
hypercholesterolemia, and hemophilia resulting from Factor VIII or Factor IX
deficiencies (Crystal,
R.G. (1995) Science 270:404-410; Verma, LM. and Somia, N. (1997) Nature
389:239-242)), (ii)

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
express a conditionally lethal gene product (e.g., in the case of cancers
which result from unregulated
cell proliferation), or (iii) express a protein which affords protection
against intracellular parasites (e.g.,
against human retroviruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
(Baltimore, D. (1988)
Nature 335:395-396; Poeschla, E. et al. (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA.
93:11395-11399),
hepatitis B or C virus (HBV, HCV); fungal parasites, such as Candida albicans
and Paracoccidioides
brasiliensis; and protozoan parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum and
Trypanosoma cruzi). In the
case where a genetic deficiency in FLEXHT expression or regulation causes
disease, the expression of
FLEXHT from an appropriate population of transduced cells may alleviate the
clinical manifestations
caused by the genetic deficiency.
In a further embodiment of the invention. diseases or disorders caused by
deficiencies in
FLEXHT are treated by constructing mammalian expression vectors encoding
FLEXHT and
introducing these vectors by mechanical means into FLEXHT-deficient cells.
Mechanical transfer
technologies for use with cells in vivo or ex vitro include (i) direct DNA
microinjection into individual
cells, (ii) ballistic gold particle delivery, (iii) liposome-mediated
transfection, (iv) receptor-mediated
gene transfer, and (v) the use of DNA transposons (Morgan, R.A. and W.F.
Anderson (1993) Annu.
Rev. Biochem. 62:191-217; Ivics, Z. (1997) Cell 91:501-510; Boulay, J-L. and
H. Recipon (1998)
Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 9:445-450).
Expression vectors that may be effective for the expression of FLEXHT include,
but are not
limited to, the PCDNA 3.1, EPITAG, PRCCMV2, PREP, PVAX vectors (Invitrogen,
Carlsbad CA),
PCMV-SCRIPT, PCMV-TAG, PEGSH/PERV (Stratagene, La Jolla CA), and PTET-OFF,
PTET-ON, PTRE2, PTRE2-LUC, PTK-HYG (Clontech, Palo Alto CA). FLEXHT may be
expressed
'using (i) a constitutively active promoter, (e.g., from cytomegalovirus
(CMV), Rous sarcoma virus
(RSV), SV40 virus, thymidine kinase (TK), or (3-actin genes), (ii) an
inducible promoter (e.g., the
tetracycline-regulated promoter (Gossen, M. and H. Bujard (1992) Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. U.S.A.
89:5547-5551; Gossen, M. et al. (1995) Science 268:1766-1769; Rossi, F.M.V.
and H.M. Blau (1998)
Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 9:451-456), commercially available in the T-REX
plasmid (Invitrogen)); the
ecdysone-inducible promoter (available in the plasmids PVGRXR and PIND;
Invitrogen); the
FK506/rapamycin inducible promoter: or the RU486/mifepristone inducible
promoter (Rossi, F.M.V.
and H.M. Blau, su ra)), or (iii) a tissue-specific promoter or the native
promoter of the endogenous
gene encoding FLEXHT from a normal individual.
Commercially available liposome transformation kits (e.g., the PERFECT LIPID
TRANSFECTION KIT, available from Invitrogen) allow one with ordinary skill in
the art to deliver
polynucleotides to target cells in culture and require minimal effort to
optimize experimental
parameters. In the alternative, transformation is performed using the calcium
phosphate method
41

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
(Graham, F.L. and A.J. Eb (1973) Virology 52:456-467), or by electroporation
(Neumann, E. et al.
(1982) EMBO J. 1:841-845). The introduction of DNA to primary cells requires
modification of these
standardized manunalian transfection protocols.
In another embodiment of the invention, diseases or disorders caused by
genetic defects with
respect to FLEXHT expression are treated by constructing a retrovirus vector
consisting of (i) the
polynucleotide encoding FLEXHT under the control of an independent promoter or
the retrovirus long
terminal repeat (LTR) promoter, (ii) appropriate RNA packaging signals, and
(iii) a Rev-responsive
element (RRE) along with additional retrovirus cis-acting RNA sequences and
coding sequences
required for efficient vector propagation. Retrovirus vectors (e.g., PFB and
PFBNEO) are
commercially available (Stratagene) and are based on published data (Riviere,
I. et al. (1995) Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 92:6733-6737), incorporated by reference herein. The
vector is propagated in
an appropriate vector producing cell line (VPCL) that expresses an envelope
gene with a tropism for
receptors on the target cells or a promiscuous envelope protein such as VSVg
(Armentano, D. et al.
(1987) J. Virol. 61:1647-1650; Bender, M.A. et al. (1987) J. Virol. 61:1639-
1646; Adam, M.A. and
A.D. Miller (1988) J. Virol. 62:3802-3806; Dull, T. et al. (1998) J. Virol.
72:8463-8471; Zufferey, R.
et al. (1998) J. Virol. 72:9873-9880). U.S. Patent Number 5,910,434 to Rigg
("Method for obtaining
retrovirus packaging cell lines producing high transducing efficiency
retroviral supernatant") discloses a
method for obtaining retrovirus packaging cell lines and is hereby
incorporated by reference.
Propagation of retrovirus vectors, transduction of a population of cells
(e.g., CD4+ T-cells), and the
return of transduced cells to a patient are procedures well known to persons
skilled in the art of gene
therapy and have been well documented (Ranga, U. et al. (1997) J. Virol.
71:7020-7029; Bauer, G. et
al. (1997) Blood 89:2259-2267; Bonyhadi, M.L. (1997) J. Virol. 71:4707-4716;
Ranga, U. et al.
(1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 95:1201-1206; Su, L. (1997) Blood 89:2283-
2290).
In the alternative, an adenovirus-based gene therapy delivery system is used
to deliver
polynucleotides encoding FLEXHT to cells which have one or more genetic
abnormalities with respect
to the expression of FLEXHT. The construction and packagTing of adenovirus-
based vectors are well
known to those with ordinary skill in the art. Replication defective
adenovirus vectors have proven to
be versatile for importing genes encoding immunoregulatory proteins into
intact islets in the pancreas
(Csete, M.E. et al. (1995) Transplantation 27:263-268). Potentially useful
adenoviral vectors are
described in U.S. Patent Number 5,707,618 to Armentano ("Adenovirus vectors
for gene therapy"),
hereby incorporated by reference. For adenoviral vectors, see also Antinozzi,
P.A. et al. (1999) Annu.
Rev. Nutr. 19:511-544; and Verma, LM. and N. Somia (1997) Nature 18:389:239-
242, both
incorporated by reference herein.
In another alternative, a herpes-based, gene therapy delivery system is used
to deliver
42

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
polynucleoddes encoding FLEXHT to target cells which have one or more genetic
abnormalities with
respect to the expression of FLEXHT. The use of herpes simplex virus (HSV)-
based vectors may be
especially valuable for introducing FLEXHT to cells of the central nervous
system, for which HSV has
a tropism. The construction and packaging of herpes-based vectors are well
known to those with
ordinary skill in the art. A replication-competent herpes simplex virus (HSV)
type 1-based vector has
been used to deliver a reporter gene to the eyes of primates (Liu, X. et al. (
1999) Exp. Eye
Res.169:385-395). The construction of a HSV-1 virus vector has also been
disclosed in detail in U.S.
Patent Number 5,804,413 to DeLuca ("Herpes simplex virus strains for gene
transfer"), which is
hereby incorporated by reference. U.S. Patent Number 5.804,413 teaches the use
of recombinant HSV
d92 which consists of a genome containing at least one exogenous gene to be
transferred to a cell under
the control of the appropriate promoter for purposes including human gene
therapy. Also taught by this
patent are the construction and use of recombinant HSV strains deleted for
ICP4, ICP27 and ICP22.
For HSV vectors, see also Goins, W.F. et al. (1999) J. Virol. 73:519-532 and
Xu, H. et al. (1994) Dev.
Biol. 163:152-161, hereby incorporated by reference. The manipulation of
cloned herpesvirus
1~ sequences, the generation of recombinant virus following the transfection
of multiple plasmids
containing different segments of the large herpesvirus genomes, the growth and
propagation of
herpesvirus, and the infection of cells with herpesvirus are techniques well
known to those of ordinary
skill in the art.
In another alternative, an alphavirus (positive, single-stranded RNA virus)
vector is used to
deliver polynucleotides encoding FLEXHT to target cells. The biology of the
prototypic alphavirus,
Senlliki Forest Virus (SFV), has been studied extensively and gene transfer
vectors have been based on
the SFV genome (Garoff, H. and K.-J. Li (1998) Curr. Opin. Biotech. 9:464-
469). During alphavirus
RNA replication, a subgenomic RNA is generated that normally encodes the viral
capsid proteins. This
subgenomic RNA replicates to higher levels than the full-length genomic RNA,
resulting in the
overproduction of capsid proteins relative to the viral proteins with
enzymatic activity (e.g., protease
and polymerase). Similarly, inserting the coding sequence for FLEXHT into the
alphavirus genome in
place of the capsid-coding region results in the production of a large number
of FLEXHT-coding RNAs
and the synthesis of high levels of FLEXHT in vector transduced cells. While
alphavirus infection is
typically associated with cell lysis within a few days, the ability to
establish a persistent infection in
hamster normal kidney cells (BHK-21) with a variant of Sindbis virus (SIN)
indicates that the lytic
replication of alphaviruses can be altered to suit the needs of the gene
therapy application (Dryga, S.A.
et al. (1997) Virology 228:74-83). The wide host range of alphaviruses will
allow the introduction of
FLEXHT into a variety of cell types. The specific transduction of a subset of
cells in a population may
require the sorting of cells prior to transduction. The methods of
manipulating infectious cDNA clones
43

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
of alphaviruses, performing alphavirus cDNA and RNA transfections, and
performing alphavirus
infections, are well known to those with ordinary skill in the art.
Oligonucleotides derived from the transcription initiation site, e.g., between
about positions -10
and +10 from the start site, may also be employed to inhibit gene expression.
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 polymerases,
transcription factors, or regulatory molecules. Recent therapeutic advances
using triplex DNA have
been described in the literature. (See, e.g., Gee. J.E. et al. (1994) in
Huber, B.E. and B.I. Carr,
Molecular and Immunolo~ic Approaches, 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 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 FLEXHT.
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 and in vivo
transcription of DNA sequences
encoding FLEXHT. Such DNA sequences may be incorporated into a wide variety of
vectors with
suitable RNA polymerase 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.
An additional embodiment of the invention encompasses a method for screening
for a
compound which is effective in altering expression of a polynucleotide
encoding FT.EXHT.
Compounds which may be effective in altering expression of a specific
polynucleotide may include,
but are not limited to, oligonucleotides, antisense oligonucleotides, triple
helix-forming
oligonucleotides, transcription factors and other polypeptide transcriptional
regulators, and non-
macromolecular chemical entities which are capable of interacting with
specific polynucleotide
sequences. Effective compounds may alter polynucleotide expression by acting
as either inhibitors or
promoters of polynucleotide expression. Thus, in the treatment of disorders
associated with increased
FLEXHT expression or activity, a compound which specifically inhibits
expression of the
polynucleotide encoding FLEXHT may be therapeutically useful, and in the
treament of disorders
associated with decreased FLEXHT expression or activity, a compound which
specifically promotes
expression of the polynucleotide encoding FLEXHT may be therapeutically
useful.
At least one, and up to a plurality, of test compounds may be screened for
effectiveness in
altering expression of a specific polynucleotide. A test compound may be
obtained by any method
commonly known in the art, including chemical modification of a compound known
to be effective in
altering polynucleotide expression; selection from an existing, commercially-
available or proprietary
library of naturally-occurring or non-natural chemical compounds; rational
design of a compound
based on chemical and/or structural properties of the target polynucleotide;
and selection from a
library of chemical compounds created combinatorially or randomly. A sample
comprising a
polynucleotide encoding FLEXHT is exposed to at least one test compound thus
obtained. The
sample may comprise, for example, an intact or permeabilized cell, or an in
vitro cell-free or
reconstituted biochemical system. Alterations in the expression of a
polynucleotide encoding
FLEXHT are assayed by any method commonly known in the art. Typically, the
expression of a
specific nucleotide is detected by hybridization with a probe having a
nucleotide sequence
complementary to the sequence of the polynucleotide encoding FLEXHT. The
amount of
hybridization may be quantified, thus forming the basis for a comparison of
the expression of the
polynucleotide both with and without exposure to one or more test compounds.
Detection of a
change in the expression of a polynucleotide exposed to a test compound
indicates that the test
compound is effective in altering the expression of the polynucleotide. A
screen for a compound
effective in altering expression of a specific polynucleotide can be carried
out, for example, using a
Schizosaccharomvces pombe gene expression system (Atkins, D. et al. (1999)
U.S. Patent No.

cell line such as HeLa
cell (Clarke, M.L. et al. (2000) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 268:8-13). A
particular
embodiment of the present invention involves screening a combinatorial library
of oligonucleotides
(such as deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, peptide nucleic acids, and
modified oligonucleotides)
for antisense activity against a specific polynucleotide sequence (Bruice,
T.W. et al. (1997) U.S.
Patent No. 5,686,242; Bruice, T.W. et al. (2000) U.S. Patent No. 6,022.691).
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) Nat.
Biotechnol. 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 humans, dogs, cats, cows,
horses, rabbits, and
monkeys.
An additional embodiment of the invention relates to the administration of a
pharmaceutical
composition which generally comprises an active ingredient formulated with a
pharmaceutically
acceptable excipient. Excipients may include, for example, sugars, starches,
celluloses, gums, and
proteins. Various formulations are commonly known and are thoroughly discussed
in the latest edition
of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Maack Publishing, Easton PA). Such
pharmaceutical
compositions may consist of FLEXHT, antibodies to FLEXHT, and nlimetics,
agonists, antagonists, or
inhibitors of FLEXHT.
The pharmaceutical compositions utilized in this invention may be administered
by any number
of routes including, but not limited to, oral, intravenous, intramuscular,
intra-arterial, intramedullary,
intrathecal, intraventricular, pulmonary, transdermal, subcutaneous,
intraperitoneal, intranasah enteral,
topical, sublingual, or rectal means.
Pharmaceutical compositions for pulmonary administration may be prepared in
liquid or dry
powder form. These compositions are generally aerosolized immediately prior to
inhalation by the
patient. In the case of small molecules (e.g. traditional low molecular weight
organic drugs), aerosol
delivery of fast-acting formulations is well-known in the art. In the case of
macromolecules (e.g. larger
peptides and proteins), recent developments in the field of pulmonary delivery
via the alveolar region of
the lung have enabled the practical delivery of drugs such as insulin to blood
circulation (see, e.g.,
Patton, J.S. et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,997,848). Pulmonary delivery has the
advantage of administration
without needle injection, and obviates the need for potentially toxic
penetration enhancers.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for use in the invention include
compositions wherein the
46

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
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 art.
Specialized forms of pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared for direct
intracellular
delivery of macromolecules comprising FLEXHT or fragments thereof. For
example, liposome
preparations containing a cell-impermeable macromolecule may promote cell
fusion and intracellular
delivery of the macromolecule. Alternatively. FLEXHT or a fragment thereof may
be joined to a short
cationic N-terminal portion from the HIV Tat-1 protein. Fusion proteins thus
generated have been
found to transduce into the cells of all tissues, including the brain, in a
mouse model system (Schwarze,
S.R. et al. (1999) Science 285:1569-1572).
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, monkeys,
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
FLEXHT or fragments thereof, antibodies of FLEXHT, and agonists, antagonists
or inhibitors of
FLEXHT, 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 LDSO (the
dose lethal to 50% of the population) statistics. The dose ratio of toxic to
therapeutic effects is the
therapeutic index, which can be expressed as the LDSo/ED;o ratio.
Pharmaceutical compositions which
exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. The data obtained from cell
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 ED;o 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 ~g to 100,000 fig, up to a total
dose of
47

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
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 FLEXHT may be used
for the
diagnosis of disorders characterized by expression of FLEXHT, or in assays to
monitor patients being
treated with FLEXHT or agonists, antagonists, or inhibitors of FLEXHT.
Antibodies useful for
diagnostic purposes may be prepared in the same manner as described above for
therapeutics.
Diagnostic assays for FLEXHT include methods which utilize the antibody and a
label to detect
FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT, including ELISAs, RIAs, and FACS,
are
known in the art and provide a basis for diagnosing altered or abnormal levels
of FLEXHT expression.
Normal or standard values for FLEXHT expression are established by combining
body fluids or cell
extracts taken from normal mammalian subjects, for example, human subjects,
with antibody to
FLEXHT under conditions suitable for complex formation. The amount of standard
complex formation
may be quantitated by various methods, such as photometric means. Quantities
of FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT
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
quantify gene expression in biopsied tissues in which expression of FLEXHT may
be correlated with
disease. The diagnostic assay may be used to determine absence, presence, and
excess expression of
FLEXHT, and to monitor regulation of FLEXHT levels during therapeutic
intervention.
In one aspect, hybridization with PCR probes which are capable of detecting
polynucleotide
sequences, including genomic sequences, encoding FLEXHT or closely related
molecules may be used
to identify nucleic acid sequences which encode FLEXHT. 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 will
determine whether the
48

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
probe identities only naturally occurring sequences encoding FLEXHT, allelic
variants, or related
sequences.
Probes may also be used for the detection of related sequences, and may have
at least 50%
sequence identity to any of the FLEXHT encoding sequences. The hybridization
probes of the subject
invention may be DNA or RNA and may be derived from the sequence of SEQ ID
N0:56-110 or from
genomic sequences including promoters, enhancers, and introns of the FLEXHT
gene.
Means for producing specific hybridization probes for DNAs encoding FLEXHT
include the
cloning of polynucleotide sequences encoding FLEXHT or FLEXHT 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 3'S, or by
enzymatic labels, such as
alkaline phosphatase coupled to the probe via avidin/biotin coupling systems,
and the like.
Polynucleotide sequences encoding FLEXHT may be used for the diagnosis of
disorders
associated with expression of FLEXHT. Examples of such disorders include, but
are not limited to, a
developmental disorder such as renal tubular acidosis, anemia, Cushing's
syndrome, achondroplastic
dwarfism, Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, gonadal
dysgenesis, WAGR syndrome
(Wilms' tumor, aniridia, genitourinary abnormalities, and mental retardation),
Smith-Magenis
syndrome, myelodysplastic syndrome, hereditary mucoepithelial dysplasia,
hereditary keratodermas,
hereditary neuropathies such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and
neurofibromatosis, hypothyroidism,
hydrocephalus, a seizure disorder such as Syndenham's chorea and cerebral
palsy, spina bifida,
anencephaly, craniorachischisis, congenital glaucoma, cataract, and
sensorineural hearing loss; a cell
proliferative disorder such as actinic keratosis, arteriosclerosis,
atherosclerosis, bursitis, cirrhosis,
hepatitis, mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), myelofibrosis, paroxysmal
nocturnal
2~ hemoglobinuria, polycythemia vera, psoriasis, primary thrombocythemia, and
cancers including
adenocarcinoma, leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, myeloma, sarcoma.

particular, a cancer of the adrenal gland, bladder, bone, bone marrow, brain,
breast, cervix, gall
bladder, ganglia, gastrointestinal tract, heart, kidney, liver, lung, muscle,
ovary, pancreas, parathyroid,
penis, prostate, salivary glands, skin, spleen, testis, thymus, thyroid, and
uterus; and an immunological
disorder such as inflammation, actinic keratosis, acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS),
Addison's disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome, allergies, ankylosing
spondylitis, amyloidosis,
anemia, arteriosclerosis, asthma, atherosclerosis, autoimmune hemolytic
anemia, autoimmune
thyroiditis, bronchitis, bursitis, cholecystitis, cirrhosis, contact
dermatitis, Crohn's disease, atopic
dermatitis, dermatomyositis, diabetes mellitus, emphysema, erythroblastosis
fetalis, erythema nodosum,

purpura, ulcerative
colitis, uveitis, Werner syndrome. complications of cancer, hemodialysis, and
extracorporeal
circulation, trauma, and hematopoietic cancer including lymphoma, leukemia,
and myeloma. The
polynucleotide sequences encoding FLEXHT 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 detect
altered FLEXHT
expression. Such qualitative or quantitative methods are well known in the
art.
In a particular aspect, the nucleotide sequences encoding FLEXHT may be useful
in assays that
detect the presence of associated disorders, particularly those mentioned
above. The nucleotide
sequences encoding FLEXHT 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 quantified
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 FLEXHT 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
FLEXHT, 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 FLEXHT, 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

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
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 FLEXHT
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
polynucleotide encoding
FLEXHT, or a fragment of a polynucleotide complementary to the polynucleotide
encoding FLEXHT,
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 quantification of
closely related DNA or RNA sequences.
In a particular aspect, oligonucleotide primers derived from the
polynucleotide sequences
encoding FLEXHT may be used to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
SNPs are
substitutions, insertions and deletions that are a frequent cause of inherited
or acquired genetic disease
in humans. Methods of SNP detection include, but are not limited to, single-
stranded conformation
polymorphism (SSCP) and fluorescent SSCP (fSSCP) methods. In SSCP,
oligonucleotide primers
derived from the polynucleotide sequences encoding FLEXHT are used to amplify
DNA using the
polymerise chain reaction (PCR). The DNA may be derived, for example, from
diseased or normal
tissue, biopsy samples, bodily fluids, and the like. SNPs in the DNA cause
differences in the secondary
and tertiary structures of PCR products in single-stranded form, and these
differences are detectable
using gel electrophoresis in non-denaturing gels. In fSCCP, the
oligonucleotide primers are
fluorescently labeled, which allows detection of the amplimers in high-
throughput equipment such as
DNA sequencing machines. Additionally, sequence database analysis methods,
termed in silico SNP
(isSNP), are capable of identifying polymorphisms by comparing the sequence of
individual
overlapping DNA fragments which assemble into a common consensus sequence.
These computer-
based methods filter out sequence variations due to laboratory preparation of
DNA and sequencing
errors using statistical models and automated analyses of DNA sequence
chromatograms. In the
alternative, SNPs may be detected and characterized by mass spectrometry
using, for example, the high
throughput MASSARRAY system (Sequenom, Inc., San Diego CA).
51

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
Methods which may also be used to quantify the expression of FLEXHT include
radiolabeling
or biotinyladng 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. 212:229-236.) The speed of quantitation of multiple
samples may be
accelerated by running the assay in a high-throughput format where the
oligomer or polynucleotide of
interest is presented in various dilutions and a spectrophotometric or
colorimetric response gives rapid
quantitation.
The polynucleotides are also useful for identifying individuals on the basis
of minute
biological samples, for example, by matching the restriction fragment length
polymorphism (RFLP)
pattern of a sample's DNA to that of an individual's DNA. The polynucleotides
of the present
invention can also be used to determine the actual base-by-base DNA sequence
of selected portions of
an individual's genome. These sequences can be used to prepare PCR primers for
amplifying and
isolating such selected DNA, which can then be sequenced. Using this
technique, an individual can
be identified through a unique set of DNA sequences. Once a unique ID database
is established for an
1~ individual, positive identification of that individual can be made from
extremely small tissue samples.
DNA-based identification techniques are critical in forensic technology. DNA
sequences
taken from very small biological samples such as tissues, e.g., hair, skin, or
body fluids (e.g., blood,
saliva, semen, etc.), can be amplified using, e.g., PCR, to identify
individuals. (See, e.g., Erlich, H.
(1992) PCR Technoloey> Freeman and Co., New York NY). Similarly,
polynucleotides of the
present invention can be used as polymorphic markers.
There is also a need for reagents capable of identifying the source of a
particular tissue.
Appropriate reagents can comprise, for example, DNA probes or primers prepared
from the sequences
of the present invention that are specific for particular tissues. Panels of
such reagents can identify
tissue by species and/or by organ type. In a similar fashion, these reagents
can be used to screen
2~ tissue cultures for contamination.
The polynucleotides of the present invention can also be used as molecular
weight markers on
nucleic acid gels or Southern blots, as diagnostic probes for the presence of
a specific mRNA in a
particular cell type, in the creation of subtracted cDNA libraries which aid
in the discovery of novel
polynucleotides, in selection and synthesis of oligomers for attachment to an
array or other support,
and as an antigen to elicit an immune response.
In further embodiments, oligonucleotides or longer fragments derived from any
of the
polynucleotide sequences described herein may be used as elements on a
microarray. The microarray
can be used in transcript imaging techniques which monitor the relative
expression levels of large
numbers of genes simultaneously as described in Seilhamer, J.J. et al.,
"Comparative Gene Transcript
3~ Analysis," U.S. Patent No. 5,840,484, incorporated herein by reference. The
microarray may also be
J7

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
used 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, to monitor
progression/regression of disease as a function of gene expression. and to
develop and monitor the
activities of therapeutic agents in the treatment of disease. In particular,
this information may be used
to develop a pharmacogenomic profile of a patient in order to select the most
appropriate and effective
treatment regimen for that patient. For example, therapeutic agents which are
highly effective and
display the fewest side effects may be selected for a patient based on his/her
pharmacogenomic profile.
In another embodiment, antibodies specific for FLEXHT, or FLEXHT or fragments
thereof
may be used as elements on a microarray. The microarray may be used to monitor
or measure protein-
protein interactions, drug-target interactions, and gene expression profiles,
as described above.
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.
USA 93:10614-10619; Baldeschweiler et al. (1995) PCT application W095/251116;

(1995) PCT application W095/35505; Heller, R.A. et al. (1997) Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 94:2150-
2155; and Heller, M.J. et al. (1997) U.S. Patent No. 5,605,662.) Various types
of microarrays are well
known and thoroughly described in DNA Microarrays: A Practical Approach, M.
Schena, ed. (1999)
Oxford University Press, London, hereby expressly incorporated by reference.
In another embodiment of the invention, nucleic acid sequences encoding FLEXHT
may be
used to generate hybridization probes useful in mapping the naturally
occurring genomic sequence.
Either coding or noncoding sequences may be used, and in some instances,
noncoding sequences may
be preferable over coding sequences. For example, conservation of a coding
sequence among
members of a multi-gene family may potentially cause undesired cross
hybridization during
chromosomal mapping. 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 Pl
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.) Once mapped, the nucleic acid sequences of the invention may be
used to develop genetic
linkage maps, for example, which correlate the inheritance of a disease state
with the inheritance of a
particular chromosome region or restriction fragment length polymorphism
(RFLP). (See, e.g.,
Lander, E.S. and D. Botstein (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:7353-7357.)
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) may be correlated with other physical
and genetic map
data. (See, e.g., Heinz-Ulrich, et al. (1995) in Meyers, supra, pp. 965-968.)
Examples of genetic map
data can be found in various scientific journals or at the Online Mendelian
Inheritance in Man (OMIM)
World Wide Web site. Correlation between the location of the gene encoding
FLEXHT on a physical
53

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
map and a specific disorder, or a predisposition to a specific disorder, may
help define the region of
DNA associated with that disorder and thus may further positional cloning
efforts.
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 exact chromosomal locus is not known.
This information is
valuable to investigators searching for disease genes using positional cloning
or other gene discovery
techniques. Once the gene or genes responsible for a disease or syndrome have
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
instant 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, FLEXHT, its catalytic or immunogenic
fragments, or
1~ 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 FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT,
or fragments thereof,
and washed. Bound FLEXHT is then detected by methods well known in the art.
Purified FLEXHT
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 FLEXHT specifically compete with a test compound
for binding
FLEXHT. In this manner, antibodies can be used to detect the presence of any
peptide which shares
one or more antigenic determinants with FLEXHT.
In additional embodiments, the nucleotide sequences which encode FLEXHT 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
properties as the triplet genetic code and specific base pair interactions.

Without iiuther 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. 09/311,894, U.S. Ser. No. 09/311,940, and U.S. Ser.

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 CsCl
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,
Chatsworth 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. supra, 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 S 1000, 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),
pcDNA2.1 plasmid
(Invitrogen, Carlsbad CA), or pINCY plasmid (Incyte Genomics, Palo Alto CA).
Recombinant
plasmids were transformed into competent E. coli cells including XL1-Blue, XL1-
BlueMRF, or SOLR
JJ

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
from Stratagene or DHSa, DH10B, or ElectroMAX DHlOB from Life Technologies.
II. Isolation of cDNA Clones
Plasmids obtained as described in Example I were recovered from host cells by
in vivo excision
using the UNIZAP vector system (Stratagene) or by 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 R.E.A.L.
PREP 96 plasmid
purification 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, plasmid 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
Incyte cDNA recovered in plasmids as described in Example II were sequenced as
follows.
Sequencing reactions were processed using standard methods or high-throughput
instrumentation
such as the ABI CATALYST 800 (Perkin-Elmer) thermal cycler or the PTC-200
thermal cycler (MJ
Research) in conjunction with the HYDRA microdispenser (Robbins Scientific) or
the MICROLAB
2200 (Hamilton) liquid transfer system. cDNA sequencing reactions were
prepared using reagents
provided by Amersham Pharmacia Biotech or supplied in ABI sequencing kits such
as the ABI
PRISM BIGDYE Terminator cycle sequencing ready reaction kit (Perkin-Elmer).
Electrophoretic
separation of cDNA sequencing reactions and detection of labeled
polynucleotides were carried out
using the MEGABACE 1000 DNA sequencing system (Molecular Dynamics); the ABI
PRISM 373 or
377 sequencing system (Perkin-Elmer) in conjunction with standard ABI
protocols and base calling
software: or other sequence analysis systems known in the art. Reading frames
within the cDNA
sequences were identified 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 sequencing were assembled and
analyzed
using a combination of software programs which utilize algorithms well known
to those skilled in the
art. Table 6 summarizes the tools, programs, and algorithms used and provides
applicable descriptions,
references, and threshold parameters. The first colunm of Table 6 shows the
tools, programs, and
algorithms used, the second column provides brief descriptions thereof, the
third column presents
56

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
appropriate references, all of which are incorporated by reference herein in
their entirety, and the fourth
column presents, where applicable, the scores, probability values, and other
parameters used to evaluate
the strength of a match between two sequences (the higher the score, the
greater the homology between
two sequences). Sequences were analyzed using MACDNASIS PRO software (Hitachi
Software
Engineering, South San Francisco CA) and LASERGENE software (DNASTAR).
Polynucleotide and
polypeptide sequence alignments were generated using the default parameters
specified by the clustal
algorithm as incorporated into the MEGALIGN multisequence alignment program
(DNASTAR), which
also calculates the percent identity between aligned sequences.
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 the GenBank primate, rodent, mammalian,
vertebrate, and
eukaryote databases, and BLOCKS, PRINTS, DOMO, PRODOM, and PFAM 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, DOMO, PRODOM,
Prosite,
and Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based protein family databases such as PFAM. HMM
is a
probabilistic approach which analyzes consensus primary structures of gene
families. (See, e.g.,
Eddy, S.R. (1996) Curr. Opin. Struct. 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
N0:56-110. Fragments from about 20 to about 4000 nucleotides which are useful
in hybridization and
amplification technologies were described in The Invention section above.
IV. Analysis of Polynucleotide Expression
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 cDNA databases such as GenBank or LIFESEQ (Incyte Genomics). This
analysis is
much faster than multiple membrane-based hybridizations. In addition, the
sensitivity of the computer
57

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
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:
BLAST Score x Percent Identity
x minimum {length(Seq. 1), length(Seq. 2)}
The product score takes into account both the degree of similarity between two
sequences and the length
of the sequence match. The product score is a normalized value between 0 and
100, and is calculated
as follows: the BLAST score is multiplied by the percent nucleotide identity
and the product is divided
by (5 times the length of the shorter of the two sequences). The BLAST score
is calculated by
assigning a score of +5 for every base that matches in a high-scoring segment
pair (HSP), and -4 for
every mismatch. Two sequences may share more than one HSP (separated by gaps).
If there is more
than one HSP, then the pair with the highest BLAST score is used to calculate
the product score. The
product score represents a balance between fractional overlap and quality in a
BLAST alignment. For
example, a product score of 100 is produced only for 100% identity over the
entire length of the shorter
of the two sequences being compared. A product score of 70 is produced either
by 100% identity and
70% overlap at one end, or by 88% identity and 100% overlap at the other. A
product score of 50 is
produced either by 100% identity and 50% overlap at one end, or 79% identity
and 100% overlap.
The results of northern analyses are reported as a percentage distribution of
libraries in which
the transcript encoding FLEXHT occurred. Analysis involved the categorization
of cDNA libraries by
organ/tissue and disease. The organ/tissue categories included cardiovascular,
dermatologic,
developmental, endocrine, gastrointestinal, hematopoiedc/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 FLEXHT Encoding Polynucleotides
The full length nucleic acid sequences of SEQ ID N0:56-110 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
58

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
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,
Inc.). The reaction
mix contained DNA template, 200 nmol of each primer, reaction buffer
containing Mg2+, (NH4)~SO4,
and ~-mercaptoethanol, Taq DNA polymerase (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech),
ELONGASE enzyme
(Life Technologies), and Pfu DNA polymerase (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.
1~ 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
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 ~1 to 10 ~l 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 lipase (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, and individual colonies were picked and cultured overnight at 37
°C in 384-well plates in LB/2x
carb liquid media.
The cells were lysed, and DNA was amplified by PCR using Taq DNA polymerase
(Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) and Pfu DNA polymerase (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 5: steps 2,
59

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
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%
dimethysulfoxide (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 polynucleotide sequences of SEQ ID N0:56-110 are used to
obtain 5'
regulatory sequences using the procedure above, along with oligonucleotides
designed for such
extension, and an appropriate genomic library.
VI. Labeling and Use of Individual Hybridization Probes
Hybridization probes derived from SEQ ID N0:56-110 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 ~cCi of [y-
32P] adenosine
triphosphate (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech), and T4 polynucleotide kinase
(DuPont NEN, Boston
MA). The labeled oligonucleotides are substantially purified using a SEPHADEX
G-25 superfine size
exclusion dextran 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, Xba I, 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 conditions of up to, for example, 0.1 x saline sodium citrate and 0.5%
sodium dodecyl sulfate.
Hybridization patterns are visualized using autoradiography or an alternative
imaging means and
compared.
VII. Transcript Image Analysis
Transcript images are generated as described in Seilhamer, J.J. et al.,
"Comparative Gene
Transcript Analysis," U.S. Patent No. 5,840,484. incorporated herein by
reference.
VIII. Microarrays
The linkage or synthesis of array elements upon a microarray can be achieved
utilizing
photolithography, piezoelectric printing (ink-jet printing, See, e.g.,
Baldeschweiler, supra), mechanical
microspotting technologies, and derivatives thereof. The substrate in each of
the aforementioned

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
technologies should be uniform and solid with a non-porous surface (Schena
(1999), supra). Suggested
substrates include silicon, silica, glass slides, glass chips, and silicon
wafers. Alternatively, a procedure
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 using available methods and machines well known to those of ordinary
skill in the art and may
contain any appropriate number of elements. (See, e.g., Schena, M. et al.
(1995) Science 270:467-470;
Shalom D. et al. (1996) Genome Res. 6:639-645; Marshall, A. and J. Hodgson
(1998) Nat. Biotechnol.
16:27-31.)
Full length cDNAs, Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), or fragments or oligomers
thereof may
comprise the elements of the microarray. Fragments or oligomers suitable for
hybridization can be
selected using software well known in the art such as LASERGENE software
(DNASTAR). The array
elements are hybridized with polynucleotides in a biological sample. The
polynucleotides in the
biological sample are conjugated to a fluorescent label or other molecular tag
for ease of detection.
After hybridization, nonhybridized nucleotides from the biological sample are
removed, and a
fluorescence scanner is used to detect hybridization at each array element.
Alternatively, laser
desorbtion and mass spectrometry may be used for detection of hybridization.
The degree of
complementarity and the relative abundance of each polynucleotide which
hybridizes to an element on
the microarray may be assessed. In one embodiment, microarray preparation and
usage is described in
detail below.
Tissue or Cell Sample Preparation
Total RNA is isolated from tissue samples using the guanidinium thiocyanate
method and
poly(A)+ RNA is purified using the oligo-(dT) cellulose method. Each poly(A)+
RNA sample is
reverse transcribed using MMLV reverse-transcriptase, 0.05 pg/~.M oligo-(dT)
primer (2lmer), 1X first
strand buffer, 0.03 units/ql RNase inhibitor, 500 NM dATP, 500 ~M dGTP, 500 ~M
dTTP, 40 EiM
dCTP, 40 ~M dCTP-Cy3 (BDS) or dCTP-Cy5 (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). The
reverse
transcription reaction is performed in a 25 ml volume containing 200 ng
poly(A)+ RNA with
GEMBRIGHT kits (Incyte). Specific control poly(A)+ RNAs are synthesized by in
vitro transcription
from non-coding yeast genomic DNA. After incubation at 37 ° C for 2 hr,
each reaction sample (one
with Cy3 and another with Cy5 labeling) is treated with 2.5 ml of O.SM sodium
hydroxide and
incubated for 20 minutes at 85 °C to the stop the reaction and degrade
the RNA. Samples are purified
using two successive CHROMA SPIN 30 gel filtration spin columns (CLONTECH
Laboratories, Inc.
(CLONTECH), Palo Alto CA) and after combining, both reaction samples are
ethanol precipitated
using 1 ml of glycogen (1 mg/ml), 60 ml sodium acetate, and 300 ml of 100%
ethanol. The sample is
then dried to completion using a SpeedVAC (Savant Instruments Inc., Holbrook
NY) and
resuspended in 14 ~.~1 SX SSC/0.2% SDS.

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
Microarrav Preparation
Sequences of the present invention are used to generate array elements. Each
array element
is amplified from bacterial cells containing vectors with cloned cDNA inserts.
PCR amplification
uses primers complementary to the vector sequences flanking the cDNA insert.
Array elements are
amplified in thirty cycles of PCR from an initial quantity of 1-2 ng to a
final quantity greater than 5
pg. Amplified array elements are then purified using SEPHACRYL-400 (Amersham
Pharmacia
Biotech).
Purified array elements are immobilized on polymer-coated glass slides. Glass
microscope
slides (Corning) are cleaned by ultrasound in 0.1 % SDS and acetone, with
extensive distilled water
washes between and after treatments. Glass slides are etched in 4%
hydrofluoric acid (VWR
Scientific Products Corporation (VWR), West Chester PA), washed extensively in
distilled water, and
coated with 0.05% aminopropyl silane (Sigma) in 95% ethanol. Coated slides are
cured in a 110°C
oven.
Array elements are applied to the coated glass substrate using a procedure
described in US
Patent No. 5,807,522, incorporated herein by reference. 1 E~l of the array
element DNA, at an average
concentration of 100 ng/E.il, is loaded into the open capillary printing
element by a high-speed robotic
apparatus. The apparatus then deposits about 5 nl of array element sample per
slide.
Microarrays are UV-crosslinked using a STRATALINKER UV-crosslinker
(Stratagene).
Microarrays are washed at room temperature once in 0.2% SDS and three times in
distilled water.
Non-specific binding sites are blocked by incubation of microarrays in 0.2%
casein in phosphate
buffered saline (PBS) (Tropix, Inc., Bedford MA) for 30 nunutes at 60
°C followed by washes in
0.2% SDS and distilled water as before.
Hybridization
Hybridization reactions contain 9 E.il of sample mixture consisting of 0.2 ~g
each of Cy3 and
Cy5 labeled cDNA synthesis products in 5X SSC, 0.2% SDS hybridization buffer.
The sample
mixture is heated to 65 °C for 5 minutes and is aliquoted onto the
microarray surface and covered with
an 1.8 cm2 coverslip. The arrays are transferred to a waterproof chamber
having a cavity just slightly
larger than a microscope slide. The chamber is kept at 100% humidity
internally by the addition of
140 Eil of 5X SSC in a corner of the chamber. The chamber containing the
arrays is incubated for
about 6.5 hours at 60 °C. The arrays are washed for 10 min at 45
°C in a first wash buffer (1X SSC,
0.1 % SDS), three times for 10 minutes each at 45 °C in a second wash
buffer (O.1X SSC), and dried.
Detection
Reporter-labeled hybridization complexes are detected with a microscope
equipped with an
Innova 70 mixed gas 10 W laser (Coherent, Inc., Santa Clara CA) capable of
generating spectral lines
at 488 nm for excitation of Cy3 and at 632 nm for excitation of CyS. The
excitation laser light is
62

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
focused on the array using a 20X microscope objective (Nikon, Inc., Melville
NY). The slide
containing the array is placed on a computer-controlled X-Y stage on the
microscope and raster-
scanned past the objective. The 1.8 cm x 1.8 cm array used in the present
example is scanned with a
resolution of 20 micrometers.
In two separate scans, a mixed gas multiline laser excites the two
fluorophores sequentially.
Emitted light is split, based on wavelength, into two photomultiplier tube
detectors (PMT 81477,
Hamamatsu Photonics Systems, Bridgewater NJ) corresponding to the two
fluorophores. Appropriate
filters positioned between the array and the photomultiplier tubes are used to
filter the signals. The
emission maxima of the fluorophores used are 565 nm for Cy3 and 650 nm for
CyS. Each array is
typically scanned twice, one scan per fluorophore using the appropriate
filters at the laser source,
although the apparatus is capable of recording the spectra from both
fluorophores simultaneously.
The sensitivity of the scans is typically calibrated using the signal
intensity generated by a
cDNA control species added to the sample mixture at a known concentration. A
specific location on
the array contains a complementary DNA sequence, allowing the intensity of the
signal at that
location to be correlated with a weight ratio of hybridizing species of
1:100,000. When two samples
from different sources (e.g., representing test and control cells), each
labeled with a different
fluorophore, are hybridized to a single array for the purpose of identifying
genes that are differentially
expressed, the calibration is done by labeling samples of the calibrating cDNA
with the two
fluorophores and adding identical amounts of each to the hybridization
mixture.
The output of the photomultiplier tube is digitized using a 12-bit RTI-835H
analog-to-digital
(A/D) conversion board (Analog Devices, Inc., Norwood MA) installed in an IBM-
compatible PC
computer. The digitized data are displayed as an image where the signal
intensity is mapped using a
linear 20-color transformation to a pseudocolor scale ranging from blue (low
signal) to red (high
signal). The data is also analyzed quantitatively. Where two different
fluorophores are excited and
measured simultaneously, the data are first corrected for optical crosstalk
(due to overlapping
emission spectra) between the fluorophores using each fluorophore's emission
spectrum.
A grid is superimposed over the fluorescence signal image such that the signal
from each spot
is centered in each element of the grid. The fluorescence signal within each
element is then integrated
to obtain a numerical value corresponding to the average intensity of the
signal. The software used
for signal analysis is the GEMTOOLS gene expression analysis program (Incyte).
IX. Complementary Polynucleotides
Sequences complementary to the FLEXHT-encoding sequences, or any parts
thereof, are used
to detect, decrease, or inhibit expression of naturally occurring FLEXHT.
Although use of
oligonucleotides comprising from about 15 to 30 base pairs is described,
essentially the same procedure
is used with smaller or with larger sequence fragments. Appropriate
oligonucleotides are designed
63

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
using OLIGO 4.06 software (National Biosciences) and the coding sequence of
FLEXHT. 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 FLEXHT-
encoding transcript.
X. Expression of FLEXHT
Expression and purification of FLEXHT is achieved using bacterial or virus-
based expression
systems. For expression of FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT upon induction with isopropyl
beta-D-
thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Expression of FLEXHT in eukaryotic cells is
achieved by infecting
insect or mammalian cell lines with recombinant Auto~raphica californica
nuclear polyhedrosis virus
(AcMNPV), commonly known as baculovirus. The nonessential polyhedrin gene of
baculovirus is
replaced with cDNA encoding FLEXHT 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 fru~iperda (Sf9) 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, FLEXHT 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 j~aponicum, 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 FLEXHT 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, su ra,
ch. 10 and 16). Purified FLEXHT obtained by these methods can be used directly
in the assays in
Examples XII and XIV.

XI. Functional Assays
FLEXHT function is assessed by expressing the sequences encoding FLEXHT 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 plasmid (Life Technologies) and pCR3.1
plasmid
(Invitrogen), both of which contain the cytomegalovirus promoter. 5-10 ~g of
recombinant vector are
transiently transfected into a human cell line, for example, an endothelial or
hematopoietic cell line,
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 the apoptotic state of the cells and other cellular
properties. 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 Cytometry, Oxford,
New York NY.
The influence of FLEXHT on gene expression can be assessed using highly
purified
populations of cells transfected with sequences encoding FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT and other genes of interest can be analyzed
by northern
analysis or microarray techniques.
XII. Production of FLEXHT Specific Antibodies
FLEXHT 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.

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
Alternatively, the FLEXHT amino acid sequence is analyzed using LASERGENE
software
(DNASTAR) to determine regions of high immunogenicity, and a corresponding
oligopeptide is
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. 11.)
Typically, oligopeptides of about 15 residues in length are synthesized using
an ABI 431 A
peptide synthesizer (Perkin-Elmer) using FMOC chemistry and coupled to KLH
(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-KLH
complex in complete Freund's adjuvant. Resulting antisera are tested for
antipeptide and anti-FLEXHT
activity by, for example, binding the peptide or FLEXHT to a substrate,
blocking with 1 % BSA,
reacting with rabbit antisera, washing, and reacting with radio-iodinated goat
anti-rabbit IgG.
XIII. Purification of Naturally Occurring FLEXHT Using Specific Antibodies
Naturally occurring or recombinant FLEXHT is substantially purified by
immunoaffinity
chromatography using antibodies specific for FLEXHT. An immunoaffinity column
is constructed by
covalently coupling anti-FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT are passed over the immunoaffinity column, and the
column is
washed under conditions that allow the preferential absorbance of FLEXHT
(e.g., high ionic strength
buffers in the presence of detergent). The column is eluted under conditions
that disrupt
antibody/FLEXHT 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 FLEXHT is collected.
XIV. Identification of Molecules Which Interact with FLEXHT
FLEXHT, or biologically active fragments thereof, are labeled with'z5I Bolton-
Hunter reagent.
(See, e.g., Bolton A.E. and W.M. Hunter (1973) Biochem. J. 133:529-539.)
Candidate molecules
previously arrayed in the wells of a mufti-well plate are incubated with the
labeled FLEXHT, washed,
and any wells with labeled FLEXHT complex are assayed. Data obtained using
different
concentrations of FLEXHT are used to calculate values for the number,
affinity, and association of
FLEXHT with the candidate molecules.
Alternatively, molecules interacting with FLEXHT are analyzed using the yeast
two-hybrid
system as described in Fields, S. and O. Song (1989. Nature 340:245-246), or
using commercially
available kits based on the two-hybrid system, such as the MATCHMAKER system
(Clontech).
FLEXHT may also be used in the PATHCALLING process (CuraGen Corp., New Haven
CT)

CA 02373191 2001-11-05
WO 00/70047 PCT/US00/13299
which employs the yeast two-hybrid system in a high-throughput manner to
determine all interactions
between the proteins encoded by two large libraries of genes (Nandabalan, K.
et al. (2000) U.S. Patent
No. 6.057,101).
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 certain
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.
