CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
RNA METABOLISM PROTEINS
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of RNA
metabolism proteins
and to the use of these sequences in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
of nervous system,
autoimmune/inflammatory, cell proliferative, and developmental disorders, and
in the assessment of the
effects of exogenous compounds on the expression of nucleic acid and amino
acid sequences of RNA
metabolism proteins.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a linear single-stranded polymer of four
nucleotides, ATP, CTP,
UTP, and GTP. In most organisms, RNA is transcribed as a copy of
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA),
the genetic material of the organism. In retroviruses RNA rather than DNA
serves as the genetic
material. RNA copies of the genetic material encode proteins or serve various
structural, catalytic, or
regulatory roles in organisms. RNA is classified according to its cellular
localization and function.
Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) encode polypeptides. Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are
assembled, along
with ribosomal proteins, into ribosomes, which are cytoplasmic particles that
translate mRNA into
polypeptides. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are cytosolic adaptor molecules that
function in mRNA
translation by recognizing both an mRNA colon and the amino acid that matches
that colon.
Heterogeneous nuclear RNAs (hnRNAs) include mRNA precursors and other nuclear
RNAs of
various sizes. Small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) are a part of the nuclear
spliceosome complex that
removes intervening, non-coding sequences (introns) and rejoins exons in pre-
mRNAs.
Proteins are associated with RNA during its transcription from DNA, RNA
processing, and
translation of mRNA into protein. Proteins are also associated with RNA as it
is used for structural,
catalytic, and regulatory purposes.
RNA Processing
Various proteins are necessary for processing of transcribed RNAs in the
nucleus. Pre-mRNA
processing steps include capping at the 5' end with methylguanosine,
polyadenylating the 3' end, and
splicing to remove introns. The spliceosomal complex is comprised of five
small nuclear
ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) designated U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6. Each
snRNP contains a
single species of snRNA and about ten proteins. The RNA components of some
snRNPs recognize
and base-pair with intron consensus sequences. The protein components mediate
spliceosome
assembly and the splicing reaction.
An early step in pre-mRNA cleavage involves the cleavage factor Im (CF Im).
The human CF


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
Im protein aids in the recruitment and assembly of processing factors that
make up the 3' end
processing complex (Ruegsegger, U. et aI (1998) MoI. Cell. 1:243-253). The
marine formin binding
proteins (FBP's) FBP11 and FBP12 are components of pxe-mRNA splicing complexes
that facilitate
the bridging of 5' and 3' ends of the intron. These proteins function through
bridging interactions
invloving U1 and U2 snRNPs. Autoantibodies to snRNP proteins are found in the
blood of patients
with systemic lupus erythematosus (Stryer, L. (1995) Biochemistry W.H. Freeman
and Company,
New York NY, p. 863).
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) have been identified that
have roles in
splicing, exporting of the mature RNAs to the cytoplasm, and mRNA translation
(Biamonti, G. et al.
(1998) Clin. Exp. Rheumatol. 16:317-326). Some examples of hnRNPs include the
yeast proteins
Hrplp, involved in cleavage and polyadenylation at the 3' end of the RNA;
Cbp80p, involved in
capping the 5' end of the RNA; and Npl3p, a homolog of mammalian hnRNP A1,
involved in export
of mRNA from the nucleus (Shen, E.C. et al. (1998) Genes Dev. 12:679-691).
HnRNPs have been
shown to be important targets of the autoimmune response in rheumatic diseases
(Biamonti, supra).
Many snRNP and hnRNP proteins are characterized by an RNA recognition motif
(RRM).
(Reviewed in Birney, E. et al. (1993) Nucleic Acids Res. 21:5803-5816.) The
RRM is about 80 amino
acids in length and forms four j3-strands and two a-helices arranged in an
a/~3 sandwich. The RRM
contains a core RNP-1 octapeptide motif along with surrounding conserved
sequences. In addition to
snRNP proteins, examples of RNA-binding proteins which contain the above
motifs include
heteronuclear ribonucleoproteins which stabilize nascent RNA and factors which
regulate alternative
splicing. Alternative splicing factors include developmentally regulated
proteins, specific examples of
which have been identified in lower eukaryotes such as Drosophila melanoaaster
and Caenorhabditis
e1_ e~ans. These proteins play key roles in developmental processes such as
pattern formation and sex
determination, respectively. (See, for example, Hodgkin, J. et al. (1994)
Development 120:3681-3689.)
RNA Stability and Degradation
RNA helicases alter and regulate RNA conformation and secondary structure by
using energy
derived from ATP hydrolysis to destabilize and unwind RNA duplexes. The most
well-characterized
and ubiquitous family of RNA helicases is the DEAD-box family, so named for
the conserved B-type
ATP-binding motif which is diagnostic of proteins in this family. Over 40 DEAD-
box helicases have
been identified in organisms as diverse as bacteria, insects, yeast,
amphibians, mammals, and plants.
DEAD-box helicases function in diverse processes such as translation
initiation, splicing, ribosome
assembly, and RNA editing, transport, and stability. Some DEAD-box helicases
play tissue- and stage-
specific roles in spermatogenesis and embxyogenesis. All DEAD-box helicases
contain several
2


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
conserved sequence motifs spread out over about 420 amino acids. These motifs
include an A-type
ATP binding motif, the DEAD-box/B-type ATP-binding motif, a
serinelarginine/threonine tripeptide of
unknown function, and a C-terminal glycine-rich motif with a possible role in
substrate binding and
unwinding. In addition, alignment of divergent DEAD-box helicase sequences has
shown that 37 amino
acid residues are identical among these sequences, suggesting that
conservation of these residues is
important for helicase function. (Reviewed in Linder, P. et al. (1989) Nature
337:121-122.)
Overexpression of the DEAD-box 1 protein (DDXl) may play a role in the
progression of
neuroblastoma (Nb) and retinoblastoma (Rb) tumors. These observations suggest
that DDX1 may
promote or enhance tumor progression by altering the normal secondary
structure and expression levels
of RNA in cancer cells. Other DEAD-box helicases have been implicated either
directly or indirectly in
ultraviolet light-induced tumors, B-cell lymphoma, and myeloid malignancies.
(Reviewed in Godbout,
R. et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273:21161-21168.)
Ribonucleases (RNases) catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds in RNA
chains, thus
cleaving the RNA. For example, RNase P is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme which
cleaves the 5' end of
pre-tRNAs as part of their maturation process. RNase H digests the RNA strand
of an RNA/DNA
hybrid. Such hybrids occur in cells invaded by retroviruses, and RNase H is an
important enzyme in
the retroviral replication cycle. RNase H domains are often found as a domain
associated with reverse
transcriptases. RNase activity in serum and cell extracts is elevated in a
variety of cancers and
infectious diseases (Schein, C.H. (1997) Nat. Biotechnol. 15:529-536).
Regulation of RNase activity
is being investigated as a means to control tumor angiogenesis, allergic
reactions, viral infection and
replication, and fungal infections.
Degradation of mRNAs having premature termination or nonsense codons is
accomplished
through a surveillance mechanism that has been termed nonsense-mediated mRNA
decay (NMD).
This mechanism helps eliminate flawed mRNAs that might code for nonfunctional
or deleterious
polypeptides. Various NMD components are linked to both yeast and human RNA
metabolism
disorders (Hentze, M. and Kulozik, A. (1999) Cell 96:307-310).
TRANSLATION
Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are assembled, along with ribosomal proteins, into
ribosomes,
which are cytoplasmic particles that translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into
polypeptides. The
eukaryotic ribosome is composed of a 60S (large) subunit and a 40S (small)
subunit, which together
form the 80S ribosome. In addition to the 18S, 28S, SS, and 5.85 rRNAs,
ribosomes contain from 50
to over 80 different ribosomal proteins, depending on the organism. Ribosomal
proteins are classified
according to which subunit they belong (i.e., L, if associated with the large
60S large subunit or S if
associated with the small 40S subunit). E. coli ribosomes have been the most
thoroughly studied and


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
contain 50 proteins, many of which are conserved in all life foams. The
structures of nine ribosomal
proteins have been solved to less than 3.0/~ resolution (i.e., S5, S6, 517,
L1, L6, L9, L12, L14, L30),
revealing common motifs, such as (3-a-~i protein folds in addition to acidic
and basic RNA-binding
motifs positioned between (3-strands. Most ribosomal proteins are believed to
contact rRNA directly
(reviewed in Liljas, A. and Garber, M. (1995) Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol. 5:721-
727, see also Woodson,
S.A. and Leontis, N.B. (1998) Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol. 8:294-300;
Ramakrishnan, V. and White,
S.W. (1998) Trends Biochem. Sci. 23:208-212.)
Ribosomal proteins may undergo post-translational modifications or interact
with other
ribosome-associated proteins to regulate translation. For example, the highly
homologous 40S
ribosomal protein S6 kinases (S6K1 and S6K2) play a key role in the regulation
of cell growth by
controlling the biosynthesis of translational components which make up the
protein synthetic
apparatus (including the ribosomal proteins). In the case of S6K1, at least
eight phosphorylation sites
are believed to mediate kinase activation in a hierarchical fashion (Dufner
and Thomas (1999) Exp.
Cell. Res. 253:100-109). Some of the ribosomal proteins, including L1, also
function as translational
repressors by binding to polycistronic mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins
(reviewed in Liljas, A.
supra and Garber, M. supra).
Recent evidence suggests that a number of ribosomal proteins have secondary
functions
independent of their involvement in protein biosynthesis. These proteins
function as regulators of cell
proliferation and, in some instances, as inducers of cell death. For example,
the expression of human
ribosomal protein Ll3a has been shown to induce apoptosis by arresting cell
growth in the G2/M
phase of the cell cycle. Inhibition of expression of Ll3a induces apoptosis in
target cells, which
suggests that this protein is necessary, in the appropriate amount, for cell
survival. Similar results
have been obtained in yeast where inactivation of yeast homologues of Ll3a,
rp22 aiid rp23, results in
severe growth retardation and death. A closely related ribosomal protein, L7,
arrests cells in G1 and
also induces apoptosis. Thus, it appears that a subset of ribosomal proteins
may function as cell cycle
checkpoints and compose a new family of cell proliferation regulators.
Mapping of individual ribosomal proteins on the surface of intact ribosomes is
accomplished
using 3D immunocryoelectronmicroscopy, whereby antibodies raised against
specific ribosomal
proteins are visualized. Progress has been made toward the mapping of L1, L7,
and L12 while the
structure of the intact ribosome has been solved to only 20-2S A resolution
and inconsistencies exist
among different crude structures (Frank, J. (1997) Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol.
7:266-272).
Three distinct sites have been identified on the ribosome. The aminoacyl-tRNA
acceptor site
(A site) receives charged tRNAs (with the exception of the initiator-tRNA).
The peptidyl-tRNA site
(P site) binds the nascent polypeptide as the amino acid from the A site is
added to the elongating
chain. Deacylated tRNAs bind in the exit site (E site) prior to their release
from the ribosome. The

tRNA Char~in~
Correct translation of the genetic code depends upon each amino acid forming a
linkage with the
appropriate transfer RNA (tRNA). The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are
essential proteins
found in all living organisms. The aaRSs are responsible for the activation
and correct attachment of an
amino acid with its cognate tRNA, as the first step in protein biosynthesis.
Prokaryotic organisms have
at least twenty different types of aaRSs, one for each different amino acid,
while eukaryotes usually
have two aaRSs, a cytosolic form and a mitochondrial form, for each different
amino acid. The 20
aaRS enzymes can be divided into two structural classes. Class I enzymes add
amino acids to the 2'
hydroxyl at the 3' end of tRNAs while Class II enzymes add amino acids to the
3' hydroxyl at the 3' end
of tRNAs. Each class is characterized by a distinctive topology of the
catalytic domain. Class I
enzymes contain a catalytic domain based on the nucleotide-binding 'Rossman
fold'. In particular, a
consensus tetrapeptide motif is highly conserved (Prosite Document PDOC00161,
Aminoacyl-transfer
RNA synthetases class-I signature). Class II enzymes contain a central
catalytic domain, which consists
of a seven-stranded antiparallel 13-sheet domain, as well as N- and C-
terminal regulatory domains.
Class II enzymes are separated into two groups based on the heterodimeric or
homodimeric structure of
the enzyme; the latter group is further subdivided by the structure of the N-
and C-terminal regulatory
domains (Hartlein, M. and Cusack, S. (1995) J. Mol. Evol. 40:519-530). The
different aaRSs are
believed to be the result of divergent evolution, likely following gene
duplication events. Notably, amino
acids such as Gln, were among the last to appear in nature and evolutionary
studies suggest that Gln-
RSs appeared first in eukaryotes and were later horizontally transferred to
prokaryotes (Lamour, V. et
al. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 91:8670-74 and Siatecka, M. et al.
(1998) Eur. J. Biochem.
256:80-7). The importance of Gln RS and Gln-tRNAG'" are discussed below.
In addition to their function in protein synthesis, specific aminoacyl tRNA
synthetases also play
roles in cellular fidelity, RNA splicing, RNA trafficking, apoptosis, and
transcriptional and translational
regulation. For example, human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase can be proteolytically
cleaved into two
fragments with distinct cytokine activities. The carboxy-terminal domain
exhibits monocyte and
leukocyte chemotaxis activity as well as stimulating production of
myeloperoxidase, tumor necrosis
factor-a, and tissue factor. The N-terminal domain binds to the interleukin-8
type A receptor and
functions as an interleukin-8-like cytokine. Human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase is
secreted from


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
apoptotic tumor cells and may accelerate apoptosis (Wakasugi, K. and Schimmel,
P. (1999) Science
284:147-151). Mitochondrial Neurospora crassaTyrRS and S. cerevisiaeLeuRS are
essential factors
for certain group I intron splicing activities, and human mitochondrial LeuRS
can substitute for the
yeast LeuRS in a yeast null strain. Certain bacterial aaRSs are involved in
regulating their own
transcription or translation (Martinis, supra). Several aaRSs are able to
synthesize diadenosine
oligophosphates, a class of signalling molecules with roles in cell
proliferation, differentiation, and
apoptosis (Kisselev, L.L et al. (1998) FEBS Lett. 427:157-163; Vartanian, A.
et al. (1999) FEBS Lett.
456:175-180).
Under optimal conditions, polypeptide synthesis proceeds at a rate of
approximately 40 amino
acid residues per second. The rate of misincorporation during translation in
on the order of 10~ and is
primarily the result of aminoacyl-t-RNAs being charged with the incorrect
amino acid. Incorrectly
charged tRNA are tonic to cells as they result in the incorporation of
incorrect amino acid residues
into an elongating polypeptide. The rate of translation is presumed to be a
compromise between the
optimal rate of elongation and the need for translational fidelity.
Mathematical calculations predict
that 10-4 is indeed the maximum acceptable error rate for protein synthesis in
a biological system
(reviewed in Stryer, L. supra and Watson, J. et al. (1987) The
Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Co.,
Inc. Menlo Park, CA). A particularly error prone aminoacyl-tRNA charging
event, the charging of
tRNAG'n with Gln. A mechanism exist for the correction of this mischarging
event which likely has its
origins in evolution. Gln was among the last of the 20 naturally occurring
amino acids used
polypeptide synthesis to appear in nature. Gram positive eubacteria,
cyanobacteria, Archeae, and
eukaryotic organelles posses a noncanonical pathway for the synthesis of Gln-
tRNAG'n based on the
transformation of Glu-tRNA~'° (synthesized by Glu-tRNA synthetase,
GluRS) using the enzyme Glu-
tRNA~''1 amidotransferase (Glu-AdT). The reactions involved in the
transamidation pathway are as
follows (Curnow, A.W, et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Symposium 36:2-4):
GluRS
( 1 ) tRNA~'n + GIu + ATP -~ GIu-tRNA~'~ + AMP + PPi
Glu-AdT
(2) Glu-tRNAG'n + Gln + ATP --~ GIn-tRNA~'" + Glu + ADP + P
A similar enzyme, Asp-tRNA'~" amidotransferase, exists in Archaea, which
transforms Asp-
tRNA'~" to Asn-tRNA'~°. Formylase, the enzyme that transforms Met-
tRNA~et to fMet-tRNA~e' in
eubacteria, is likely to be a related enzyme. A hydrolytic activity has also
been identified that destroys
mischarged Val-tRNAne (Schimmel, P. et al. (1998) FASEB J. 12:1599-1609). I
likely scenario for
6


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
the evolution of Glu-AdT in primitive life forms is the absence a specific
glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase
(GlnRS), requiring an alternative pathway for the synthesis of Gln-tRNAG'". In
fact, deletion of the
Glu-AdT operon in Gram positive bacteria is lethal (Curnow, A.W. et al. (1997)
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
U.S.A. 94:11819-11826). The existence of GluRS activity in other organisms has
been inferred by the
high degree of conservation in translation machinery in nature; however, GluRS
has not been
identified in all organisms, including Homo sapiens. Such an enzyme would be
responsible for
ensuring translational fidelity and reducing the synthesis of defective
polypeptides.
Autoantibodies against aminoacyl-tRNAs are generated by patients with
autoimmune diseases
such as rheumatic arthritis, dermatomyositis and polymyositis, and correlate
strongly with
complicating interstitial lung disease (1LD) (Freist, W. et aI. (1999) Biol.
Chem. 380:623-646; Freist,
W. et al. (1996) Biol. Chem. Hoppe Seyler 377:343-356). These antibodies
appear to be generated in
response to viral infection, and coxsackie virus has been used to induce
experimental viral myositis in
animals.
Comparison of aaRS structures between humans and pathogens has been useful in
the design
IS of novel antibiotics (Schimmel, supra). Genetically engineered aaRSs have
been utilized to allow site-
specific incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins in vivo (Liu,
D.R. et al. (1997) Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:10092-10097).
Translation Initiation
Initiation of translation can be divided into three stages, 'The first stage
brings an initiator
transfer RNA (Met-tRNAf) together with the 40S ribosomal subunit to form the
43S preinitiation
complex. The second stage binds the 43S preinitiation complex to the mRNA,
followed by migration
of the complex to the correct AUG initiation codon. The third stage brings the
60S ribosomal subunit
to the 40S subunit to generate an 80S ribosome at the inititation codon.
Regulation of translation
primarily involves the first and second stage in the initiation process (V.M.
Pain (1996) Eur. J.
Biochem. 236:747-771).
Several initiation factors, many of which contain multiple subunits, are
involved in bringing
an initiator tRNA and 40S ribosomal subunit together. One eukaryotic
initiation factor (EIF) EIFSA
is an 18-kD protein containing the unique amino acid residue, hypusine (N
epsilon-(4-amino-2-
hydroxybutyl)lysine) (Rinaudo, M, et al. (1993) Gene 137:303-307). eIF2, a
guanine nucleotide
binding protein, recruits the initiator tRNA to the 40S ribosomal subunit.
Only when eIF2 is bound to
GTP does it associate with the initiator tRNA. elF2B, a guanine nucleotide
exchange protein, is
responsible for converting eIF2 from the GDP-bound inactive form to the GTP-
bound active form.
Two other factors, eIFlA and eIF3 bind and stabilize the 40S subunit by
interacting with 18S
ribosomal RNA and specific ribosomal structural proteins. eIF3 is also
involved in association of the


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
40S ribosomal subunit with mRNA. The Met-tRNA f, eIFlA, elF3, and 40S
ribosomal subunit
together make up the 43S preinitiation complex (Pain, s_ upra).
Additional factors are required for binding of the 43S preinitiation complex
to an mRNA
molecule, and the process is regulated at several levels. eIF4F is a complex
consisting of three
proteins: eIF4E, eIF4A, and elF4G. eIF4E recognizes and binds to the mRNA 5'-
terminal m'GTP
cap, elF4A is a bidirectional RNA-dependent helicase, and eIF4G is a
scaffolding polypeptide, elF4G
has three binding domains. The N-terminal third of eIF4G interacts with eIF4E,
the central third
interacts with elF4A, and the C-terminal third interacts with eIF3 bound to
the 43S preinitiation
complex. Thus, elF4G acts as a bridge between the 40S ribosomal subunit and
the mRNA (M.W.
Hentze (1997) Science 275:500-501).
The ability of eIF4F to initiate binding of the 43S preinitiation complex is
regulated by
structural features of the mRNA. The mRNA molecule has an untranslated region
(UTR) between the
5' cap and the AUG start codon. In some mRNAs this region forms secondary
structures that impede
binding of the 43S preinitiation complex. The helicase activity of eIF4A is
thought to function in
removing this secondary structure to facilitate binding of the 43S
preinitiation complex (Pain, s_upra).
Translation Elongation
Elongation is the process whereby additional amino acids are joined to the
initiator
methionine to form the complete polypeptide chain. The elongation factors EF1
a, EF1 (3 y, and EF2
are involved in elongating the polypeptide chain following initiation. EFl a
is a GTP-binding protein.
In EF1 a's GTP-bound form, it brings an aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome's A
site. The amino acid
attached to the newly arrived aminoacyl-tRNA forms a peptide bond with the
initiatior methionine.
The GTP on EF1 a is hydrolyzed to GDP, and EF1 a-GDP dissociates from the
ribosome. EFl (3 y
binds EF1 a -GDP and induces the dissociation of GDP from EF1 a, allowing EF1
a to bind GTP and a
new cycle to begin.
As subsequent aminoacyl-tRNAs are brought to the ribosome, EF-G, another GTP-
binding
protein, catalyzes the translocation of tRNAs from the A site to the P site
and finally to the E site of
the ribosome. This allows the processivity of translation.
Translation Termination
The release factor eRF carries out termination of translation. eRF recognizes
stop codons in
the mRNA, leading to the release of the polypeptide chain from the ribosome.

them satisfies

DEFINITIONS
"RMEP" refers to the amino acid sequences of substantially purified RMEP
obtained from any
species, particularly a mammalian species, including bovine, ovine, porcine,
marine, 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
RMEP. Agonists may include proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, small
molecules, or any other
compound or composition which modulates the activity of RMEP either by
directly interacting with
RMEP or by acting on components of the biological pathway in which RMEP
participates.
An "allelic variant" is an alternative form of the gene encoding RMEP. 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
a given sequence.
"Altered" nucleic acid sequences encoding RMEP include those sequences with
deletions,
insertions, or substitutions of different nucleotides, resulting in a
polypeptide the same as RMEP or a
polypeptide with at least one functional characteristic of RMEP. Included
within this definition are
polymorphisms which may or may not be readily detectable using a particular
oligonucleotide probe of
the polynucleotide encoding RMEP, and improper or unexpected hybridization to
allelic variants, with a
locus other than the normal chromosomal locus for the polynucleotide sequence
encoding RMEP. 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 RMEP. 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 RMEP 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


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 polymerise chain reaction (PCR)
technologies well known
in the art.
The term "antagonist" refers to a molecule which inhibits or attenuates the
biological activity of
RMEP. Antagonists may include proteins such as antibodies, nucleic acids,
carbohydrates, small
molecules, or any other compound or composition which modulates the activity
of RMEP either by
directly interacting with RMEP or by acting on components of the biological
pathway in which RMEP
participates.
The term "antibody" refers to intact immunoglobulin molecules as well as to
fragments thereof,
such as Fab, F(ab')2, and Fv fragments, which are capable of binding an
epitopic determinant.
Antibodies that bind RMEP polypeptides can be prepared using intact
polypeptides or using fragments
containing small peptides of interest as the immunizing antigen. The
polypeptide or oligopeptide used to,
immunize an animal (e.g., a mouse, a rat, or a rabbit) can be derived from the
translation of RNA, or
synthesized chemically, and can be conjugated to a carrier protein if desired.
Commonly used carriers
that are chemically coupled to peptides include bovine serum albumin,
thyroglobulin, and keyhole limpet
hemocyanin (KLH). The coupled peptide is then used to immunize the animal.
The term "antigenic determinant" refers to that 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
16


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 RMEP, 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 RMEP or fragments of
RMEP may be
employed as hybridization probes. The probes may be stored in freeze-dried
form and may be associated
with a stabilizing agent such as a carbohydrate. In hybridizations, the probe
may be deployed in an
aqueous solution containing salts (e.g., 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
(Applied Biosystems,
Foster City CA) 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 Ieast
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
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 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.
"Differential expression" refers to increased or upregulated; or decreased,
downregulated, or
absent gene or protein expression, determined by comparing at least two
different samples. Such
comparisons may be carried out between, for example, a treated and an
untreated sample, or a diseased
and a normal sample.
A "fragment" is a unique portion of RMEP or the polynucleotide encoding RMEP
which is
identical in sequence to but shorter in length than the parent sequence. A
fragment may comprise up
18


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 N0:48-94 comprises a region of unique polynucleotide
sequence that
specifically identifies SEQ ID N0:48-94, for example, as distinct from any
other sequence in the
genome from which the fragment was obtained. A fragment of SEQ ID N0:48-94 is
useful, for
example, in hybridization and amplification technologies and in analogous
methods that distinguish
SEQ ID N0:48-94 from related polynucleotide sequences. The precise length of a
fragment of SEQ
ID N0:48-94 and the region of SEQ ID N0:48-94 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 N0:1-47 is encoded by a fragment of SEQ ID N0:48-94. A
fragment
of SEQ ID NO: l-47 comprises a region of unique amino acid sequence that
specifically identifies
SEQ ID NO:1-47. For example, a fragment of SEQ ID NO:1-47 is useful as an
immunogenic peptide
for the development of antibodies that specifically recognize SEQ ID N0:1-47.
The precise length of
a fragment of SEQ ID N0:1-47 and the region of SEQ ID N0:1-47 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
19


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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
Iiiggins, D.G.
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 aceessed 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: BLOSUM62
Reward for match: 1
Pefialty for misrraatch: -2
Opera Gap: S arid Extension Gap: 2 penalties
Gap x drop-off. 50

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


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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: I~tuple=1, gap
penalty=3, window=5, and
"diagonals saved"=S. 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
(April-21-2000) with blastp set at default parameters. Such default parameters
may be, for example:

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
1 S 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 1 % (w/v)
SDS, and about 100 ~ ~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 S°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 SO% of the 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 ~g/ml. Organic
solvent, such as
formamide at a concentration of about 35-50% v/v, may also be used under
particular circumstances,
22


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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
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 RMEP
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
RMEP 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.
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 RMEP. For example,
modulation may
cause an increase or a decrease in protein activity, binding characteristics,
or any other biological,
functional, or immunological properties of RMEP.
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
23


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 RMEP 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 RMEP.
"Probe" refers to nucleic acid sequences encoding RMEP, 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
polymerase enzyme. Primer pairs can be used for amplification (and
identification) of a nucleic acid
sequence, e.g., by the polymerase 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
be considerably longer 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, 2nd
ed., vol. 1-3, Cold
Spring Harbor Press, Plainview NY; Ausubel, F.M. et al. (1987) Current
Protocols in Molecular

al. (1990) PCR
Protocols, A Guide to Methods and Applications, Academic Press, San Diego CA.
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
24


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 fox designing primers on a genome-wide scope. The Primer3
primer selection program
(available to the public from the Whitehead InstituteJMIT Center for Genome
Research, Cambridge
MA) allows the user to input a "mispriming 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 pxobes 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.
This artificial combination is often accomplished by chemical 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).


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 RMEP,
nucleic acids encoding RMEP, or fragments thereof may comprise a bodily fluid;
an extract from a cell,
chromosome, organelle, or membrane isolated from a cell; a cell; genomic DNA,
RNA, or cDNA, in
solution or bound to a substrate; a tissue; a tissue print; etc.
The terms "specific binding" 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% free,
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
26


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 paxt 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), su ra,
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)
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 91%, at
least 92%, at least 93%, at
least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least
99% 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 axe polynucleotide sequences that vary from one species to
another. The resulting
polypeptides will generally 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
27


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 91 %, at least 92%, at
least 93%, at least 94%, at
least 95 %, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% 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 human RNA metabolism proteins
(RMEP), the
polynucleotides encoding RMEP, and the use of these compositions for the
diagnosis, treatment, or
prevention of nervous system, autoimmunelinf7ammatory, cell proliferative, and
developmental
disorders.
Table 1 summarizes the nomenclature for the full length polynucleotide and
polypeptide
sequences of the invention. Each polynucleotide and its corresponding
polypeptide are correlated to a
single Incyte project identification number (Incyte Project ID). Each
polypeptide sequence is denoted by
both a polypeptide sequence identification number (Polypeptide SEQ ID NO:) and
an Incyte polypeptide
sequence number (Incyte Polypeptide ID) as shown. Each polynucleotide sequence
is denoted by both a
polynucleotide sequence identification number (Polynucleotide SEQ ID NO:) and
an Incyte
polynucleotide consensus sequence number (Incyte Polynucleotide ID) as shown.
Table 2 shows sequences with homology to the polypeptides of the invention as
identified by
BLAST analysis against the GenBank protein (genpept) database. Columns 1 and 2
show the
polypeptide sequence identification number (Polypeptide SEQ ID NO:) and the
corresponding Incyte
polypeptide sequence number (Incyte Polypeptide ID) for polypeptides of the
invention. Column 3
shows the GenBank identification number (Genbank ID NO:) of the nearest
GenBank homolog. Column
4 shows the probability score for the match between each polypeptide and its
GenBank homolog.
Colwnn 5 shows the annotation of the GenBank homolog along with relevant
citations where applicable,
all of which are expressly incorporated by reference herein.
Table 3 shows various structural features of the polypeptides of the
invention. Columns l and 2
show the polypeptide sequence identification number (SEQ ID NO:) and the
corresponding Incyte
polypeptide sequence number (Incyte Polypeptide ID) for each polypeptide of
the invention. Column 3

shows the number of amino acid residues in each polypeptide. Column 4 shows
potential
phosphorylation sites, and column 5 shows potential glycosylation sites, as
determined by the MOTIFS
program of the GCG sequence analysis software package (Genetics Computer
Group, Madison Wn.
Column 6 shows amino acid residues comprising signature sequences, domains,
and motifs. Column 7
shows analytical methods for protein structurelfanction analysis and in some
cases, searchable
databases to which the analytical methods were applied.
Together, Tables 2 and 3 summarize the properties of polypeptides of the
invention, and these
properties establish that the claimed polypeptides are RNA metabolism
proteins. SEQ ID N0:46 is
29% identical to Glu-tRNAG'~ amidotransferase, subunit A, of Neisseria menin
i~ t~ (GenBank
ID g7226601) as determined by the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST,
see Table 2). The
BLAST probability score is 1.3e-37, which indicates the probability of
obtaining the observed
polypeptide sequence alignment by chance. SEQ ID N0:46 also contains amidase
signature sequences
as determined by searching for statistically significant matches in the hidden
Markov model (HMM)-
based PFAM database of conserved protein family domains (see Table 3). Data
from BLIMPS and
PROFILESCAN analyses provide further corroborative evidence that SEQ ID N0:46
contains amidase
signature sequences, features of polypeptides involved in transamination
reactions. These data provide
evidence that SEQ ID N0:46 is related to the Glu-tRNAG'n amidotransferases
found in prokaryotes
and some cellular organelles but, until the instant invention, not in humans.
SEQ ID N0:47 is 97%
identical to the 60S acidic ribosomal protein of Zea mays (GenBank ID g790508)
as determined by the
Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST, see Table 2). The BLAST probability
score is 5.4e-51.
SEQ ID N0:47 also contains a 60S acidic ribosomal protein domain as determined
by searching for
statistically significant matches in the hidden Markov model (HMM)-based PFAM
database of
conserved protein family domains (see Table 3). Data from BLIMPS analyses
provide further
corroborative evidence that SEQ ID N0:47 is a phosphorylated (hence likely to
be acidic) ribosomal
protein. SEQ ID NO:1-45 were analyzed and annotated in a similar manner. The
algorithms and
parameters for the analysis of SEQ ID NO;1-47 are described in Table 7.
As shown in Table 4, the full length polynucleotide sequences of the present
invention were
assembled using cDNA sequences or coding (exon) sequences derived from genomic
DNA, or any
combination of these two types of sequences. Columns 1 and 2 list the
polynucleotide sequence
identification number (Polynucleotide SEQ ID NO:) and the corresponding Incyte
polynucleotide
consensus sequence number (Incyte Polynucleotide ID) for each polynucleotide
of the invention.
Column 3 shows the length of each polynucleotide sequence in basepairs. Column
4 lists fragments of
the polynucleotide sequences which are useful, for example, in hybridization
or amplification
technologies that identify SEQ ID N0:48-94 or that distinguish between SEQ ID
N0:48-94 and
29


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
related polynucleotide sequences. Column 5 shows identification numbers
corresponding to cDNA
sequences, coding sequences (exons) predicted from genomic DNA, and/or
sequence assemblages
comprised of both cDNA and genomic DNA. These sequences were used to assemble
the full length
polynucleotide sequences of the invention. Columns 6 and 7 of Table 4 show the
nucleotide start (5')
and stop (3') positions of the cDNA sequences in column 5 relative to their
respective full length
sequences.
The identification numbers in Column 5 of Table 4 may refer specifically, for
example, to
Incyte cDNAs along with their corresponding cDNA libraries. For example,
642017H1 is the
identification number of an Incyte cDNA sequence, and BRSTNOT03 is the cDNA
library from which
it is derived. Incyte cDNAs for which cDNA libraries are not indicated were
derived from pooled
cDNA libraries (e.g., 70822015V1). Alternatively, the identification numbers
in column 5 may refer to
GenBank cDNAs or ESTs (e.g., g1136841) which contributed to the assembly of
the full length
polynucleotide sequences. Alternatively, the identification numbers in column
5 may refer to coding
regions predicted by Genscan analysis of genomic DNA. The Genscan-predicted
coding sequences may
have been edited prior to assembly. (See Example IV.) Alternatively, the
identification numbers in
column 5 may refer to assemblages of both cDNA and Genscan-predicted exons
brought together by an
"exon stitching" algorithm. (See Example V.) Alternatively, the identification
numbers in column 5
may refer to assemblages of both cDNA and Genscan-predicted exons brought
together by an "exon-
stretching" algorithm. (See Example V.) In some cases, Incyte cDNA coverage
redundant with the
sequence coverage shown in column 5 was obtained to confirm the final
consensus polynucleotide
sequence, but the relevant Incyte cDNA identification numbers are not shown.
Table 5 shows the representative cDNA libraries for those full length
polynucleotide sequences
which were assembled using Incyte cDNA sequences. The representative cDNA
library is the Incyte
cDNA library which is most frequently represented by the Incyte cDNA sequences
which were used to
assemble and confirm the above polynucleotide sequences. The tissues and
vectors which were used to
construct the cDNA libraries shown in Table 5 are described in Table 6.
The invention also encompasses RMEP variants. A preferred RMEP 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 RMEP amino acid sequence, and which contains at least one
functional or structural
characteristic of RMEP.
The invention also encompasses polynucleotides which encode RMEP. In a
particular
embodiment, the invention encompasses a polynucleotide sequence comprising a
sequence selected from
the group consisting of SEQ ID N0:48-94, which encodes RMEP. The
polynucleotide sequences of
SEQ ID N0:48-94, as presented in the Sequence Listing, embrace the equivalent
RNA sequences,


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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
RMEP. 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 RMEP. A particular aspect of the invention encompasses a variant of a
polynucleotide
sequence comprising a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID
N0:48-94 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 N0:48-94.
Any one of the polynucleotide variants described above can encode an amino
acid sequence which
contains at least one functional or sti~zctural characteristic of RMEP.
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 RMEP, 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
RMEP, and all such variations are to be considered as being specifically
disclosed.
Although nucleotide sequences which encode RMEP and its variants are generally
capable of
hybridizing to the nucleotide sequence of the naturally occurring RMEP under
appropriately selected
conditions of stringency, it may be advantageous to produce nucleotide
sequences encoding RMEP 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 eukaxyotic host in accordance with the frequency
with which particular codons
are utilized by the host. Other reasons for substantially altering the
nucleotide sequence encoding
RMEP 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 RMEP
and
RMEP 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 RMEP or any fragment thereof.
Also encompassed by the invention are polynucleotide sequences that are
capable of hybridizing
31


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
to the claimed polynucleotide sequences, and, in particular, to those shown in
SEQ ID N0:48-94 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.)
Hybridization conditions, including annealing and wash conditions, are
described in "Definitions."
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
polymerase I, SEQUENASE (US Biochemical, Cleveland OH), Taq polymerase
(Applied Biosystems),
thermostable T7 polymerase (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway NJ), or
combinations of
polymerases 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
(Applied Biosystems).
Sequencing is then carried out using either the ABI 373 or 377 DNA sequencing
system (Applied
Biosystems), 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 Biology and
Biotechnolo~y, Wiley VCH, New York NY, pp. 856-853.)
The nucleic acid sequences encoding RMEP 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 pximers to amplify unknown
sequence from genomic
DNA within a cloning vector. (See, e.g., Sarkar, G. (1993) PCR Methods Applic.
2:318-322.) Another
method, inverse PCR, uses primers that extend in divergent directions to
amplify unknown sequence
from a circularized template. The template is derived from restriction
fragments comprising a known
genomic locus and surrounding sequences. (See, e.g., Triglia, T. et al. (1988)
Nucleic Acids Res.
16:8186.) A third method, capture PCR, involves PCR amplification of DNA
fragments adjacent to
known sequences in human and yeast artificial chromosome DNA. (See, e.g.,
Lagerstrom, M. et al.
(1991) PCR Methods Applic. 1:111-119.) In this method, multiple restriction
enzyme digestions and
ligations may be used to insert an engineered double-stranded sequence into a
region of unknown
sequence before performing PCR. Other methods which may be used to retrieve
unknown sequences are
known in the art. (See, e.g., Parker, J.D. et al. (1991) Nucleic Acids Res.
19:3055-3060). Additionally,
one may use PCR, nested primers, and PROMOTERFINDER libraries (Clontech, Palo
Alto CA) to
walk genomic DNA. This procedure avoids the need to screen libraries and is
useful in finding
32


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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. Output/light intensity may be converted to electrical
signal using appropriate
software (e.g., GENOTYPER and SEQUENCE NAVIGATOR, Applied Biosystems), and the
entire
process from loading of samples to computer analysis and electronic data
display may be computer
controlled. Capillary electrophoresis is especially preferable for sequencing
small DNA fragments
which may be present in limited amounts in a particular sample.
In another embodiment of the invention, polynucleotide sequences or fragments
thereof which
encode RMEP may be cloned in recombinant DNA molecules that direct expression
of RMEP, 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 RMEP.
The nucleotide sequences of the present invention can be engineered using
methods generally
known in the art in order to alter RMEP-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
as MOLECULARBREEDING (Maxygen Inc., Santa Clara CA; described in U.S. Patent
Number
5,837,458; Chang, C.-C. et al. (1999) Nat. Biotechnol. 17:793-797; Christians,
F.C. et al. (1999) Nat.
Biotechnol. 17:259-264; and Crameri, A. et al. (1996) Nat. Biotechnol. 14:315-
319) to alter or
33


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
improve the biological properties of RMEP, 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 RMEP 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,
RMEP 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 (Applied Biosystems). Additionally, the amino acid
sequence of RMEP, 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, su ra, pp. 28-53.)
In order to express a biologically active RMEP, the nucleotide sequences
encoding RMEP 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
polynucleotide sequences
encoding RMEP. Such elements may vary in their strength and specificity.
Specific initiation signals
may also be used to achieve more efficient translation of sequences encoding
RMEP. Such signals
34


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
include the ATG initiation codon and adjacent sequences, e.g. the Kozak
sequence. In cases where
sequences encoding RMEP 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 RMEP and appropriate transcriptional and
translational control
elements. These methods include in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, synthetic
techniques, and in
vivo genetic recombination. (See, e.g., Sambrook, J. et al. (1989) Molecular
Cloning, A Laboratory
Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Plainview NY, ch. 4, 8, and 16-17; Ausubel,
F.M. et al. (1995)
Current Protocols in Molecular Biolo~v, John Wiley & Sons, New York NY, ch. 9,
13, and 16.)
A variety of expression vector/host systems may be utilized to contain and
express sequences
encoding RMEP. 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,
G. and S.M. Schuster
(1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264:5503-5509; 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; Takamatsu,
N. (1987) EMBO
J. 6:307-311; The McGraw Hill Yearbook of Science and Technolo~y (1992) McGraw
Hill, New
York NY, pp. 191-196; Logan, J, and T. Shenk (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
81:3655-3659; and
Harrington, 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
delivery of nucleotide sequences to the targeted organ, tissue, or cell
population. (See, e.g., Di Nicola,
M. et al. (1998) Cancer Gen. Ther. 5(6):350-356; Yu, M. et al. (1993) Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
90(13):6340-6344; Buller, R.M. et al. (1985) Nature 317(6040):813-815;
McGregor, D.P. et al. (1994)
Mol. Immunol. 31(3):219-226; and Verma, LM. and N. Somia (1997) Nature 389:239-
242.) The
invention is not limited by the host cell employed.
In bacterial systems, a number of cloning and expression vectors may be
selected depending


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
upon the use intended for polynucleotide sequences encoding RMEP. For example,
routine cloning,
subcloning, and propagation of polynucleotide sequences encoding RMEP 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 RMEP 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 RMEP are needed, e.g. for the
production of antibodies,
vectors which direct high level expression of RMEP may be used. For example,
vectors containing the
strong, inducible SP6 or T7 bacteriophage promoter may be used.
Yeast expression systems may be used for production of RMEP. A number of
vectors
containing constitutive or inducible promoters, such as alpha factor, alcohol
oxidase, and PGH
promoters, may be used in the yeast Saccharomvces 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, G.A. et al. (1987) Methods Enzymol. 153:516-544; and Scorer, C.A. et
al. (1994)
Bio/Technology 12:181-184.)
Plant systems may also be used for expression of RMEP. Transcription of
sequences encoding
RMEP may be driven by 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, G. et al. (1984) EMBO J. 3:1671-1680; Brogue, R. et
al. (1984) Science
224:838-843; and Winter, J. et al. (1991) Results Probl. Cell Differ. 17:85-
105.) These constructs can
be introduced into plant cells by direct DNA transformation or pathogen-
mediated transfection. (See,
e.g., The McGraw Hill Yearbook of Science and Technolo~v (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 RMEP
may be ligated into an
adenovirus transcription/translation complex consisting of the late promoter
and tripartite leader
sequence. Insertion in a non-essential El or E3 region of the viral genome may
be used to obtain
infective virus which expresses RMEP in host cells. (See, e.g., Logan, J. and
T. Shenk (1984) Proc.
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-
36


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 anuno 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
RMEP in cell lines is preferred. For example, sequences encoding RMEP 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, dlafr 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 a1. (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),13
glucuronidase and its substrate 13-glucuronide, or luciferase and its
substrate luciferin may be used.
These markers can be used not only to identify transformants, but also to
quantify the amount of
transient or stable protein expression attributable to a specific vector
system. (See, e.g., Rhodes, C.A.
(1995) Methods Mol. Biol. 55:121-131.)
Although the presencelabsence of marker gene expression suggests that the gene
of interest is
also present, the presence and expression of the gene may need to be
conf'Irmed. For example, if the
sequence encoding RMEP is inserted within a marker gene sequence, transformed
cells containing
sequences encoding RMEP can be identified by the absence of marker gene
function. Alternatively, a
marker gene can be placed in tandem with a sequence encoding RMEP under the
control of a single
37


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 RMEP
and that express
RMEP 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 RMEP 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 RMEP 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 Immunology, 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 RMEP
include oligolabeling,
nick translation, end-labeling, or PCR amplification using a labeled
nucleotide. Alternatively, the
sequences encoding RMEP, 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 RMEP may be cultured
under
conditions suitable for the expression and recovery of the protein from cell
culture. The protein
produced by a transformed cell may be secreted or retained intracellularly
depending on the sequence
and/or the vector used. As will be understood by those of skill in the art,
expression vectors containing
polynucleotides which encode RMEP may be designed to contain signal sequences
which direct secretion
of RMEP through a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell membrane.

CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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, andlor
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, Manassas 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 RMEP may be ligated to a heterologous sequence resulting in
translation of a fusion
protein in any of the aforementioned host systems. For example, a chimeric
RMEP protein containing a
heterologous moiety that can be recognized by a commercially available
antibody may facilitate the
screening of peptide libraries for inhibitors of RMEP 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-nayc, and hemagglutinin (HA) enable immunoaffinity
purification of fusion
proteins using commercially available monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies
that specifically recognize
these epitope tags. A fusion protein may also be engineered to contain a
proteolytic cleavage site
located between the RMEP encoding sequence and the heterologous protein
sequence, so that RMEP
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 RMEP 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, 35S-methionine.
RMEP of the present invention or fragments thereof may be used to screen for
compounds
that specifically bind to RMEP. At least one and up to a plurality of test
compounds may be screened
for specific binding to RMEP. Examples of test compounds include antibodies,
oligonucleotides,
39


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
proteins (e.g., receptors), or small molecules.
In one embodiment, the compound thus identified is closely related to the
natural ligand of
RMEP, e. g., a ligand or fragment thereof, a natural substrate, a structural
or functional mimetic, or a
natural binding partner. (See, e.g., 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 RMEP
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 RMEP,
either as a secreted
protein or on the cell membrane. Preferred cells include cells from mammals,
yeast, Drosophila, or E.
coli. Cells expressing RMEP or cell membrane fractions which contain RMEP are
then contacted
with a test compound and binding, stimulation, or inhibition of activity of
either RMEP 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
RMEP, either in solution
or affixed to a solid support, and detecting the binding of RMEP 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.
RMEP of the present invention or fragments thereof may be used to screen for
compounds
that modulate the activity of RMEP. Such compounds may include agonists,
antagonists, or partial or
inverse agonists. In one embodiment, an assay is performed under conditions
permissive for RMEP
activity, wherein RMEP is combined with at least one test compound, and the
activity of RMEP in the
presence of a test compound is compared with the activity of RMEP in the
absence of the test
compound. A change in the activity of RMEP in the presence of the test
compound is indicative of a
compound that modulates the activity of RMEP. Alternatively, a test compound
is combined with an in
vitro or cell-free system comprising RMEP under conditions suitable for RMEP
activity, and the assay
is performed. In either of these assays, a test compound which modulates the
activity of RMEP 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.
In another embodiment, polynucleotides encoding RMEP 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 Number 5,175,383 and U.S. Patent Number
5,767,337.) For
example, mouse ES cells, such as the mouse 129/SvJ cell line, are derived from
the early mouse embryo


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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;
Capecchi, 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-loxP
S system to knockout a gene of interest in a tissue- or developmental stage-
specific manner (Marth, 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
C57BL16 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 RMEP 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 RMEP 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 RMEP 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 RMEP, e.g., by secreting RMEP in its milk, may 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 RMEP and RNA metabolism proteins. In addition, the expression of
RMEP is closely
associated with diseased, proliferative, tumorous, and nervous tissues,
adrenal tissue, brain tumor
tissue, fetal colon tissue, adult colon tissue, prostate epithelial tissue,
lymph node cancer tissue,
ovarian tissue, pancreatic tissue, and fetal spleen tissue, as well as with
diseases of the lung, and
physiological conditions that result in anoxia. Therefore, RMEP appears to
play a role in nervous
system, autoimmune/inflammatory, cell proliferative, and developmental
disorders, as well as
neoplasms involving lung-specific tissues. In the treatment of disorders
associated with increased
RMEP expression or activity, it is desirable to decrease the expression or
activity of RMEP. In the
treatment of disorders associated with decreased RMEP expression or activity,
it is desirable to
41


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
increase the expression or activity of RMEP.
Therefore, in one embodiment, RMEP 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 RMEP. Examples of such disorders include, but are not limited to, a nervous

In another embodiment, a vector capable of expressing RMEP 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 RMEP including, but not limited to, those described
above.
In a further embodiment, a composition comprising a substantially purified
RMEP 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 RMEP including,
but not limited to, those
provided above.
In still another embodiment, an agonist which modulates the activity of RMEP
may be
administered to a subject to treat or prevent a disorder associated with
decreased expression or activity
of RMEP including, but not limited to, those listed above.
In a further embodiment, an antagonist of RMEP may be administered to a
subject to treat or
prevent a disorder associated with increased expression or activity of RMEP.
Examples of such
disorders include, but are not limited to, those nervous system,
autoimmunelintlammatory, cell
proliferatave, and developmental described above. In one aspect, an antibody
which specitrcally binds
RMEP 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 RMEP.
In an additional embodiment, a vector expressing the complement of the
polynucleotide
encoding RMEP may be administered to a subject to treat or prevent a disorder
associated with
increased expression or activity of RMEP 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
43


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 RMEP may be produced using methods which are generally known
in the art.
In particular, purified RMEP may be used to produce antibodies or to screen
libraries of pharmaceutical
agents to identify those which specifically bind RMEP. Antibodies to RMEP 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 RMEP or with any fragment or
oligopeptide thereof which
has immunogenic properties. Depending on the host species, various adjuvants
may be used to increase
immunological response. Such adjuvants include, but are not limited to,
Freund's, mineral gels such as
aluminum hydroxide, and surface active substances such as lysolecithin,
pluronic polyols, polyanions,
peptides, oil emulsions, KLH, and dinitrophenol. Among adjuvants used in
humans, BCG (bacilli
Calmette-Guerin) and Corynebacterium parvum are especially preferable.
It is preferred that the oligopeptides, peptides, or fragments used to induce
antibodies to RMEP
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 RMEP 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 RMEP 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
44


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 RMEP-
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.)
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 RMEP may also be
generated. For
example, such fragments include, but are not limited to, F(ab~2 fragments
produced by pepsin digestion
of the antibody molecule and Fab fragments generated by reducing the disulfide
bridges of the F(ab~2
fragments. Alternatively, Fab expression libraries may be constructed to allow
rapid and easy
identification of monoclonal Fab fragments with the desired specificity. (See,
e.g., Huse, W.D. et al.
(1989) Science 246:1275-1281.)
Various immunoassays may be used for screening to identify antibodies having
the desired
specificity. Numerous protocols for competitive binding or immunoradiometric
assays using either
polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies with established specificities are well
known in the art. Such
immunoassays typically involve the measurement of complex formation between
RMEP and its specific
antibody. A two-site, monoclonal-based immunoassay utilizing monoclonal
antibodies reactive to two
non-interfering RMEP 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 RMEP. Affinity is
expressed as an association
constant, I~, which is defined as the molar concentration of RMEP-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 RMEP
epitopes, represents the average affinity, or avidity, of the antibodies for
RMEP. The I~ determined for
a preparation of monoclonal antibodies, which are monospecific fox a
particular RMEP epitope,
represents a true measure of affinity. High-affinity antibody preparations
with I~ ranging from about
I09 to 1012 Llmole are preferred for use in immunoassays in which the RMEP-
antibody complex must
withstand rigorous manipulations. Low-affinity antibody preparations with I~
ranging from about 106
to 10' L/mole are preferred for use in immunopurification and similar
procedures which ultimately
require dissociation of RMEP, 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 ofpolyclonal antibody preparations may be further
evaluated to determine
the quality and suitability of such preparations for certain downstream
applications. For example, a
polyclonal antibody preparation containing at least 1-2 mg specific
antibodylml, preferably 5-10 mg
specific antibodylml, is generally employed in procedures requiring
precipitation of RMEP-antibody
complexes. Procedures for evaluating antibody specificity, titer, and avidity,
and guidelines for
antibody quality and usage in various applications, are generally available.
(See, e.g., Catty, supra, and
Coligan et al. supra.)
In another embodiment of the invention, the polynucleotides encoding RMEP, 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 RMEP.
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 RMEP.
(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 Cli. 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, supra; 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 Morns, M.C. et al. (1997)
Nucleic Acids Res.
25(14):2730-2736.)
In another embodiment of the invention, polynucleotides encoding RMEP 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

thalassamias, familial
hypercholesterolemia, and hemophilia resulting from Factor VIII or Factor IX
deficiencies (Crystal,
R.G. (1995) Science 270:404-410; Verma, LM. and N. Somia (1997) Nature 389:239-
242)), (ii)
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 RMEP expression or regulation causes disease, the
expression of RMEP 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 RMEP
are treated by constructing mammalian expression vectors encoding RMEP and
introducing these
vectors by mechanical means into RMEP-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 RMEP 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). RMEP 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. USA
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 Blau, H.M. supra)), or (iii) a tissue-specific promoter or the native
promoter of the endogenous gene
encoding RMEP 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 (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
mammalian transfection protocols.
In another embodiment of the invention, diseases or disorders caused by
genetic defects with
respect to RMEP expression are treated by constructing a retrovirus vector
consisting of (i) the
polynucleotide encoding RMEP 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. USA 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

72:8463-8471; Zufferey, R.
et al. (1998) J. Virol. 72:9873-9880). U.5. 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 aI. (1997) J. Virol.
71:7020-7029; Bauer, G. et
al. (1997) Blood 89:2259-2267; Bonyhadi, M.L. (1997) J. Virol. 71:4707-4716;

(1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 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 RMEP to cells which have one or more genetic
abnormalities with respect to
the expression of RMEP. The construction and packaging 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"),

In another alternative, a herpes-based, gene therapy delivery system is used
to deliver
polynucleotides encoding RMEP to target cells which have one or more genetic
abnormalities with
respect to the expression of RMEP. The use of herpes simplex virus (HSV)-based
vectors may be
especially valuable for introducing RMEP 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 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 RMEP to target cells. The biology of the
prototypic alphavirus,
Semliki 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. Biotechnol. 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 RMEP
into the alphavirus
genome in place of the capsid-coding region results in the production of a
large number of RMEP-
coding RNAs and the synthesis of high levels of RMEP 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

WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
(Dryga, S.A. et al. (1997) Virology 228:74-83). The wide host range of
alphaviruses will allow the
introduction of RMEP 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 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 Immunologic 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 RMEP.
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 RMEP. 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


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 RMEP. 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 RMEP
expression or activity, a compound which specifically inhibits expression of
the polynucleotide
encoding RMEP may be therapeutically useful, and in the treament of disorders
associated with
decreased RMEP expression or activity, a compound which specifically promotes
expression of the
polynucleotide encoding RMEP 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 RMEP 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
RMEP 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 RMEP. 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 Schizosaccharom~ces pombe gene
expression system (Atkins,
D. et al. (1999) U.S. Patent No. 5,932,435; Arndt, G.M. et al. (2000) Nucleic
Acids Res. 28:E15) or a
human cell line such as HeLa cell (Clarks, 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 (Bruise,
T.W. et al. (1997) U.S. Patent No. 5,686,242; Bntice, 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
composition which
generally comprises an active ingredient formulated with a pharmaceutically
acceptable excipient.
Excipients may include, for example, sugars, starches, ceIluloses, 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 compositions may
consist of RMEP,
antibodies to RMEP, and mimetics, agonists, antagonists, or inhibitors of
RMEP.
The compositions utilized in this invention may be administered by any number
of routes
including, but not limited to, oral, intravenous, intramuscular, infra-
arterial, intramedullary, intrathecal,
intraventricular, pulmonary, transdermal, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal,
intranasal, enteral, topical,
sublingual, or rectal means.
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.
52


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
Compositions suitable for use in the invention include compositions wherein
the active
ingredients are contained in an effective amount to achieve the intended
purpose. The determination of
an effective dose is well within the capability of those skilled in the art.
Specialized forms of compositions may be prepared for direct intracellular
delivery of
macromolecules comprising RMEP or fragments thereof. For example, liposome
preparations
containing a cell-impermeable macromolecule may promote cell fusion and
intracellular delivery of the
macromolecule. Alternatively, RMEP 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 RMEP
or fragments thereof, antibodies of RMEP, and agonists, antagonists or
inhibitors of RMEP, 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 EDSO (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population) or LDSO
(the dose lethal to 50%o of
the population) statistics. The dose ratio of toxic to therapeutic effects is
the therapeutic index, which
can be expressed as the LDSO/EDSO ratio. 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 EDSO 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 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.
53


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
Normal dosage amounts may vary from about 0.1 ~cg to 100,000 ~cg, up to a
total dose of about
1 gram, depending upon the route of administration. Guidance as to particular
dosages and methods of
delivery is provided in the literature and generally available to
practitioners in the art. Those skilled in
the art will employ different formulations for nucleotides than for proteins
or their inhibitors. Similarly,
delivery of polynucleotides or polypeptides will be specific to particular
cells, conditions, locations, etc.
DIAGNOSTICS
In another embodiment, antibodies which specifically bind RMEP may be used for
the diagnosis
of disorders characterized by expression of RMEP, or in assays to monitor
patients being treated with
RMEP or agonists, antagonists, or inhibitors of RMEP. Antibodies useful for
diagnostic purposes may
be prepared in the same manner as described above for therapeutics. Diagnostic
assays for RMEP
include methods which utilize the antibody and a label to detect RMEP 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 RMEP, including ELISAs, RIAs, and FACS,
are known in
the art and provide a basis for diagnosing altered or abnormal levels of RMEP
expression. Normal or
standard values for RMEP expression are established by combining body fluids
or cell extracts taken
from normal mammalian subjects, for example, human subjects, with antibodies
to RMEP under
conditions suitable for complex formation. The amount of standard complex
formation may be
quantitated by various methods, such as photometric means. Quantities of RMEP
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 RMEP 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 RMEP may
be correlated with
disease. The diagnostic assay may be used to determine absence, presence, and
excess expression of
RMEP, and to monitor regulation of RMEP levels during therapeutic
intervention.
In one aspect, hybridization with PCR probes which are capable of detecting
polynucleotide
sequences, including genomic sequences, encoding RMEP or closely related
molecules may be used to
identify nucleic acid sequences which encode RMEP. 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
probe identifies only naturally occurring sequences encoding RMEP, allelic
variants, or related
54


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
sequences.
Probes may also be used for the detection of related sequences, and may have
at least 50%
sequence identity to any of the RMEP encoding sequences. The hybridization
probes of the subject
invention may be DNA or RNA and may be derived from the sequence of SEQ ID
N0:48-94 or from
genomic sequences including promoters, enhancers, and introns of the RMEP
gene.
Means for producing specific hybridization probes for DNAs encoding RMEP
include the
cloning of polynucleotide sequences encoding RMEP or RMEP 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 32P or 355, or by
enzymatic labels, such as
alkaline phosphatase coupled to the probe via avidin/biotin coupling systems,
and the like.
Polynucleotide sequences encoding RMEP may be used for the diagnosis of
disorders associated
with expression of RMEP. Examples of such disorders include, but are not
limited to, a nervous system
disorder such as epilepsy, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, stroke, cerebral
neoplasms, Alzheimer's
disease, Pick's disease, Huntington's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease
and other extrapyramidal
disorders, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other motor neuron disorders,
progressive neural muscular
atrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, hereditary ataxias, multiple sclerosis and

neuroskeletal disorder, an
autonomic nervous system disorder, a cranial nerve disorder, a spinal cord
disease, muscular dystrophy
and other neuromuscular disorder, a peripheral nervous system disorder,

paralysis; a mental disorder including mood, anxiety, and schizophrenic
disorders; seasonal affective
disorder (SAD); akathesia, amnesia, catatonia, diabetic neuropathy, tardive
dyskinesia, dystonias,
paranoid psychoses, postherpetic neuralgia, and Tourette's disorder; an
autoimmune/inflammatory
disorder such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Addison's disease,

lymphoma, melanoma,
myeloma, sarcoma, teratocarcinoma, and, in particular, cancers 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,

tubular acidosis, anemia,
Cushing's syndrome, achondroplastic dwarfism, Duchenne and Becker muscular
dystrophy, epilepsy,
gonadal dysgenesis, WAGR syndrome (Wilms' tumor, aniridia, genitourinary
abnormalities, and

neurofibromatosis, hypothyroidism, hydrocephalus, seizure disorders such as
Syndenham's chorea and
cerebral palsy, spina bifida, anencephaly, craniorachischisis, congenital
glaucoma, cataract, and
sensorineural hearing loss. The polynucleotide sequences encoding RMEP 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 RMEP expression. Such qualitative or quantitative methods are well
known in the art.
In a particular aspect, the nucleotide sequences encoding RMEP may be useful
in assays that
detect the presence of associated disorders, particularly those mentioned
above. The nucleotide
sequences encoding RMEP 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
RMEP 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
56


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
treatment of an individual patient.
In order to provide a basis for the diagnosis of a disorder associated with
expression of RMEP,
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 RMEP, under conditions suitable for hybridization
or amplification.
Standard hybridization may be quantified by comparing the values obtained from
normal subjects with
values from an experiment in which a known amount of a substantially purified
polynucleotide is used.
Standard values obtained in this manner may be compared with values obtained
from samples from
patients who are symptomatic for a disorder. Deviation from standard values is
used to establish the
presence of a disorder.
Once the presence of a disorder is established and a treatment protocol is
initiated, hybridization
assays may be repeated on a regular basis to determine if the level of
expression in the patient begins to
approximate that which is observed in the normal subject. The results obtained
from successive assays
may be used to show the efficacy of treatment over a period ranging from
several days to months.
With respect to cancer, the presence of an abnormal amount of transcript
(either under- or
overexpressed) in biopsied tissue from an individual may indicate a
predisposition for the development
of the disease, or may provide a means for detecting the disease prior to the
appearance of actual clinical
symptoms. A more definitive diagnosis of this type may allow health
professionals to employ
preventative measures or aggressive treatment earlier thereby preventing the
development or further
progression of the cancer.
Additional diagnostic uses for oligonucleotides designed from the sequences
encoding RMEP
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 RMEP,
or a fragment of a polynucleotide complementary to the polynucleotide encoding
RMEP, 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 RMEP 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 RMEP are used to amplify
DNA using the
polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The DNA may be derived, for example, from
diseased or normal
57


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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).
Methods which may also be used to quantify the expression of RMEP include
radiolabeling or
biotinylating nucleotides, coamplification of a control nucleic acid, and
interpolating results from
standaxd 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.
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 below. The microarray may also be
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, RMEP, fragments of RMEP, or antibodies specific for
RMEP may be
used as elements on a microaxray. The microarray may be used to monitor or
measure protein-protein
interactions, drug-target interactions, and'gene expression profiles, as
described above.
A particular embodiment relates to the use of the polynucleotides of the
present invention to
generate a transcript image of a tissue or cell type. A transcript image
represents the global pattern of

gene expression by a particular tissue or cell type. Global gene expression
patterns are analyzed by
quantifying the number of expressed genes and their relative abundance under
given conditions and at a
given time. (See SeiEaamer et al., "Comparative Gene Transcript Analysis,"
U.S. Patent Number
5,840,484, expressly incorporated by reference herein.) Thus a transcript
image may be generated by
hybridizing the polynucleotides of the present invention or their complements
to the totality of
transcripts or reverse transcripts of a particular tissue or cell type. In one
embodiment, the
hybridization takes place in high-throughput format, wherein the
polynucleotides of the present invention
or their complements comprise a subset of a plurality of elements on a
microarray. The resultant
transcript image would provide a profile of gene activity.
Transcript images may be generated using transcripts isolated from tissues,
cell lines, biopsies,
or other biological samples. The transcript image may thus reflect 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 which profile the expression of the polynucleotides of the
present invention
may also be used in conjunction with in vitro model systems and preclinical
evaluation of
pharmaceuticals, as well as toxicological testing of industrial and naturally-
occurring environmental
compounds. All compounds induce characteristic gene expression patterns,
frequently termed molecular
fingerprints or toxicant signatures, which are indicative of mechanisms of
action and toxicity (Nuwaysir,
E.F. et al. (1999) Mol. Carcinog. 24:153-159; Steiner, S. and N.L. Anderson
(2000) Toxicol. Lett. 112-
113:467-471, expressly incorporated by reference herein). If a test compound
has a signature similar to
that of a compound with known toxicity, it is likely to share those toxic
properties. These fingerprints
or signatures are most useful and refined when they contain expression
information from a large number
of genes and gene families. Ideally, a genome-wide measurement of expression
provides the highest
quality signature. Even genes whose expression is not altered by any tested
compounds are important as
well, as the levels of expression of these genes are used to normalize the
rest of the expression data. The
normalization procedure is useful for comparison of expression data after
treatment with different
compounds. While the assignment of gene function to elements of a toxicant
signature aids in
interpretation of toxicity mechanisms, knowledge of gene function is not
necessary for the statistical
matching of signatures which leads to prediction of toxicity. (See, for
example, Press Release 00-02
from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, released
February 29, 2000, available at
http://www.niehs.nih.gov/oc/news/toxchip.htm.) Therefore, it is important and
desirable in toxicological
screening using toxicant signatures to include all expressed gene sequences.
In one embodiment, the toxicity of a test compound is assessed by treating a
biological sample
containing nucleic acids with the test compound. Nucleic acids that are
expressed in the treated
biological sample are hybridized with one or more probes specific to the
polynucleotides of the
59


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
present invention, so that transcript levels corresponding to the
polynucleotides of the present
invention may be quantified. The transcript levels in the treated biological
sample are compared with
levels in an untreated biological sample. Differences in the transcript levels
between the two samples
are indicative of a toxic response caused by the test compound in the treated
sample.
Another particular embodiment relates to the use of the polypeptide sequences
of the present
invention to analyze the proteome of a tissue or cell type. The term proteome
refers to the global pattern
of protein expression in a particular tissue or cell type. Each protein
component of a proteome can be
subjected individually to further analysis. Proteome expression patterns, or
profiles, are analyzed by
quantifying the number of expressed proteins and their relative abundance
under given conditions and at
a given time. A profile of a cell's proteome may thus be generated by
separating and analyzing the
polypeptides of a particular tissue or cell type. In one embodiment, the
separation is achieved using
two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, in which proteins from a sample are
separated by isoelectric
focusing in the first dimension, and then according to molecular weight by
sodium dodecyl sulfate slab
gel electrophoresis in the second dimension (Steiner and Anderson, supra). The
proteins are visualized
in the gel as discrete and uniquely positioned spots, typically by staining
the gel with an agent such as
Coomassie Blue or silver or fluorescent stains. The optical density of each
protein spot is generally
proportional to the level of the protein in the sample. The optical densities
of equivalently positioned
protein spots from different samples, for example, from biological samples
either treated or untreated
with a test compound or therapeutic agent, are compared to identify any
changes in protein spot density
related to the treatment. The proteins in the spots are partially sequenced
using, for example, standard
methods employing chemical or enzymatic cleavage followed by mass
spectrometry. The identity of the
prtotein in a spot may be determined by comparing its partial sequence,
preferably of at least 5
contiguous amino acid residues, to the polypeptide sequences of the present
invention. In some cases,
further sequence data may be obtained for definitive protein identification.
A proteomic profile may also be generated using antibodies specific for RMEP
to quantify the
levels of RMEP expression. In one embodiment, the antibodies are used as
elements on a microarray,
and protein expression levels are quantified by exposing the microarray to the
sample and detecting the
levels of protein bound to each array element (Lueking, A. et al. (1999) Anal.
Biochem. 270:103-111;
Mendoze, L.G. et al. (1999) Biotechniques 27:778-788). Detection may be
performed by a variety of
methods known in the art, for example, by reacting the proteins in the sample
with a thiol- or amino
reactive fluorescent compound and detecting the amount of fluorescence bound
at each array element.
Toxicant signatures at the proteome level are also useful for toxicological
screening, and should
be analyzed in parallel with toxicant signatures at the transcript level.
There is a poor correlation
between transcript and protein abundances for some proteins in some tissues
(Anderson, N.L. and J.


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
Seilhamer (1997) Electrophoresis 18:533-537), so proteome toxicant signatures
may be useful in the
analysis of compounds which do not significantly affect the transcript image,
but which alter the
proteomic profile. In addition, the analysis of transcripts in body fluids is
difficult, due to rapid
degradation of mRNA, so proteomic profiling may be more reliable and
informative in such cases.
In another embodiment, the toxicity of a test compound is assessed by treating
a biological
sample containing proteins with the test compound. Proteins that are expressed
in the treated biological
sample are separated so that the amount of each protein can be quantified. The
amount of each protein
is compared to the amount of the corresponding protein in an untreated
biological sample. A difference
in the amount of protein between the two samples is indicative of a toxic
response to the test compound
in the treated sample. Individual proteins are identified by sequencing the
amino acid residues of the
individual proteins and comparing these partial sequences to the polypeptides
of the present invention.
In another embodiment, the toxicity of a test compound is assessed by treating
a biological
sample containing proteins with the test compound. Proteins from the
biological sample are incubated
with antibodies specific to the polypeptides of the present invention. The
amount of protein recognized
by the antibodies is quantified. The amount of protein in the treated
biological sample is compared with
the amount in an untreated biological sample. A difference in the amount of
protein between the two
samples is indicative of a toxic response to the test compound in the treated
sample.
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;
Shalom D. et al.
(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 Microarravs: 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 RMEP
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 (PACs), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs),
bacterial P1
constructions, or single chromosome cDNA libraries. (See, e.g., Harrington,
J.J. et al. (1997) Nat.
Genet. 15:345-355; Price, C.M. (1993) Blood Rev. 7:127-134; and Trask, B.J.
(1991) Trends Genet.
61


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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, for
example, 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, su ra, pp. 965-968.)
Examples of genetic map
data can be found in various scientific journals or at the Online Mendelian
Inheritance in Man (OMIM)
World Wide Web site. Correlation between the location of the gene encoding
RMEP on a physical 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 11q22-23, 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, RMEP, its catalytic or immunogenic
fragments, or
oligopeptides thereof can be used for screening libraries of compounds in any
of a variety of drug
screening techniques. The fragment employed in such screening may be free in
solution, affixed to a
solid support, borne on a cell surface, or located intracellularly. The
formation of binding complexes
between RMEP 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 RMEP, or
fragments thereof, and
washed. Bound RMEP is then detected by methods well known in the art. Purified
RMEP 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
62


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
antibodies capable of binding RMEP specifically compete with a test compound
for binding RMEP. In
this manner, antibodies can be used to detect the presence of any peptide
which shares one or more
antigenic determinants with RMEP.
In additional embodiments, the nucleotide sequences which encode RMEP 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 further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can,
using the preceding
description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The
following embodiments are,
therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limitative of the
remainder of the disclosure
in any way whatsoever.

EXAMPLES
I. Construction of cDNA Libraries
Incyte cDNAs were derived from cDNA libraries described in the LIFESEQ GOLD
database
(Incyte Genomics, Palo Alto CA) and shown in Table 4, column 5. 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
63


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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), PSPORT1 plasmid (Life Technologies),
PCDNA2.1 plasmid
(Invitrogen, Carlsbad CA), PBK-CMV plasmid (Stratagene), or pINCY (Incyte
Genomics, Palo Alto
CA), or derivatives thereof. Recombinant plasmids were transformed into
competent E. coli cells
including XL1-Blue, XL1-BlueMRF, or SOLR from Stratagene or DHSa, DH10B, or
ElectroMAX
DH10B 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 (Applied Biosystems) 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 (Applied
Biosystems).
Electrophoretic separation of cDNA sequencing reactions and detection of
labeled polynucleotides were
64


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
carried out using the MEGABACE 1000 DNA sequencing system (Molecular
Dynamics); the ABI
PRISM 373 or 377 sequencing system (Applied Biosystems) 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,
sera, unit 7.7). Some of the cDNA sequences were selected for extension using
the techniques
disclosed in Example VIII.
The polynucleotide sequences derived from Incyte cDNAs were validated by
removing vector,
linker, and poly(A) sequences and by masking ambiguous bases, using algorithms
and programs based
on BLAST, dynamic programming, and dinucleotide nearest neighbor analysis. The
Incyte cDNA
sequences or translations thereof 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 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,
for example, Eddy, S.R. (1996) Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol. 6:361-365.) The
queries were performed
using programs based on BLAST, FASTA, BLIMPS, and HMMER. The Incyte cDNA
sequences were
assembled to produce full length polynucleotide sequences. Alternatively,
GenBank cDNAs, GenBank
ESTs, stitched sequences, stretched sequences, or Genscan-predicted coding
sequences (see Examples
IV and V) were used to extend Incyte cDNA assemblages to full length. Assembly
was performed using
programs based on Phred, Phrap, and Conned, and cDNA assemblages 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 polypeptide
sequences. Alternatively,
a polypeptide of the invention may begin at any of the methionine residues of
the full length translated
polypeptide. Full length polypeptide sequences were subsequently analyzed by
querying against
databases such as the GenBank protein databases (genpept), SwissProt, BLOCKS,
PRINTS, DOMO,
PRODOM, Prosite, and hidden Markov model (HMM)-based protein family databases
such as PFAM.
Full length polynucleotide sequences are also analyzed using MACDNASIS PRO
software (Hitachi
Software Engineering, South San Francisco CA) and LASERGENE software
(DNASTAR).
Polynucleotide and polypeptide sequence alignments are generated using 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.
Table 7 summarizes the tools, programs, and algorithms used for the analysis
and assembly of
Incyte cDNA and full length sequences and provides applicable descriptions,
references, and threshold
parameters. The first column of Table 7 shows the tools, programs, and
algorithms used, the second
column provides brief descriptions thereof, the third column presents
appropriate references, all of


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 or the lower the probability
value, the greater the identity
between two sequences).
The programs described above for the assembly and analysis of full length
polynucleotide and
polypeptide sequences were also used to identify polynucleotide sequence
fragments from SEQ ID
N0:48-94. Fragments from about 20 to about 4000 nucleotides which are useful
in hybridization and
amplification technologies are described in Table 4, column 4.
IV. Identification and Editing of Coding Sequences from Genomic DNA
Putative RNA metabolism proteins were initially identified by running the
Genscan gene
identification program against public genomic sequence databases (e.g., gbpri
and gbhtg). Genscan is a
general-purpose gene identification program which analyzes genomic DNA
sequences from a variety of
organisms (See Burge, C. and S. Karlin (1997) J. Mol. Biol. 268:78-94, and
Burge, C. and S. Karlin
(1998) Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol. 8:346-354). The program concatenates
predicted exons to form an
assembled cDNA sequence extending from a methionine to a stop codon. The
output of Genscan is a
FASTA database of polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences. The maximum range
of sequence for
Genscan to analyze at once was set to 30 kb. To determine which of these
Genscan predicted cDNA
sequences encode RNA metabolism proteins, the encoded polypeptides were
analyzed by querying
against PFAM models for RNA metabolism proteins. Potential RNA metabolism
proteins were also
identified by homology to Incyte cDNA sequences that had been annotated as RNA
metabolism proteins.
These selected Genscan-predicted sequences were then compared by BLAST
analysis to the genpept and
gbpri public databases. Where necessary, the Genscan-predicted sequences were
then edited by
comparison to the top BLAST hit from genpept to correct errors in the sequence
predicted by Genscan,
such as extra or omitted exons. BLAST analysis was also used to find any
Incyte cDNA or public
cDNA coverage of the Genscan-predicted sequences, thus providing evidence for
transcription. When
Incyte cDNA coverage was available, this information was used to correct or
conf'~rm the Genscan
predicted sequence. Full length polynucleotide sequences were obtained by
assembling Genscan-
predicted coding sequences with Incyte cDNA sequences and/or public cDNA
sequences using the
assembly process described in Example III. Alternatively, full length
polynucleotide sequences were
derived entirely from edited or unedited Genscan-predicted coding sequences.
V. Assembly of Genomic Sequence Data with cDNA Sequence Data
"Stitched" Seguences
Partial cDNA sequences were extended with exons predicted by the Genscan gene
identification
program described in Example IV. Partial cDNAs assembled as described in
Example III were mapped
66


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
to genomic DNA and parsed into clusters containing related cDNAs and Genscan
exon predictions from
one or more genomic sequences. Each cluster was analyzed using an algorithm
based on graph theory
and dynamic programming to integrate cDNA and genomic information, generating
possible splice
variants that were subsequently confirmed, edited, or extended to create a
full length sequence.
Sequence intervals in which the entire length of the interval was present on
more than one sequence in
the cluster were identified, and intervals thus identified were considered to
be equivalent by transitivity.
For example, if an interval was present on a cDNA and two genomic sequences,
then all three intervals
were considered to be equivalent. This process allows unrelated but
consecutive genomic sequences to
be brought together, bridged by cDNA sequence. Intervals thus identified were
then "stitched" together
by the stitching algorithm in the order that they appear along their parent
sequences to generate the
longest possible sequence, as well as sequence variants. Linkages between
intervals which proceed
along one type of parent sequence (cDNA to cDNA or genomic sequence to genomic
sequence) were
given preference over linkages which change parent type (cDNA to genomic
sequence). The resultant
stitched sequences were translated and compared by BLAST analysis to the
genpept and gbpri public
databases. Incorrect exons predicted by Genscan were corrected by comparison
to the top BLAST hit
from genpept. Sequences were further extended with additional cDNA sequences,
or by inspection of
genomic DNA, when necessary.
"Stretched" Seguences
Partial DNA sequences were extended to full length with an algorithm based on
BLAST
analysis. First, partial cDNAs assembled as described in Example III were
queried against public
databases such as the GenBank primate, rodent, mammalian, vertebrate, and
eukaryote databases using
the BLAST program. The nearest GenBank protein homolog was then compared by
BLAST analysis to
either Incyte cDNA sequences or GenScan exon predicted sequences described in
Example IV. A
chimeric protein was generated by using the resultant high-scoring segment
pairs (HSPs) to map the
translated sequences onto the GenBank protein homolog. Insertions or deletions
may occur in the
chimeric protein with respect to the original GenBank protein homolog. The
GenBank protein homolog,
the chimeric protein, or both were used as probes to search for homologous
genomic sequences from the
public human genome databases. Partial DNA sequences were therefore
"stretched" or extended by the
addition of homologous genomic sequences. The resultant stretched sequences
were examined to
determine whether it contained a complete gene.
VI. Chromosomal Mapping of RMEP Encoding Polynucleotides
The sequences which were used to assemble SEQ ID N0:48-94 were compared with
sequences from the Incyte LIFESEQ database and public domain databases using
BLAST and other
implementations of the Smith-Waterman algorithm. Sequences from these
databases that matched
67


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
SEQ ID N0:48-94 were assembled into clusters of contiguous and overlapping
sequences using
assembly algorithms such as Phrap (Table 7). Radiation hybrid and genetic
mapping data available
from public resources such as the Stanford Human Genome Center (SHGC),
Whitehead Institute for
Genome Research (WIGR), and Genethon were used to determine if any of the
clustered sequences
had been previously mapped. Inclusion of a mapped sequence in a cluster
resulted in the assignment
of all sequences of that cluster, including its particular SEQ ID NO:, to that
map location.
Map locations are represented by ranges, or intervals, of human chromosomes.
The map
position of an interval, in centiMorgans, is measured relative to the terminus
of the chromosome's p-
arm. (The centiMorgan (cM) is a unit of measurement based on recombination
frequencies between
chromosomal markers. On average, 1 cM is roughly equivalent to 1 megabase (Mb)
of DNA in
humans, although this can vary widely due to hot and cold spots of
recombination.) The cM distances
are based on genetic markers mapped by Genethon which provide boundaries for
radiation hybrid
markers whose sequences were included in each of the clusters. Human genome
maps and other
resources available to the public, such as the NCBI "GeneMap'99" World Wide
Web site
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genemap~, can be employed to determine if
previously identified
disease genes map within or in proximity to the intervals indicated above.
In this manner, SEQ ID N0:53 was mapped to chromosome 1 within the interval
from 159.6
to 164.1 centiMorgans. SEQ ID N0:61 was mapped to chromosome 8 within the
interval from 30.70
to 60.00 centiMorgans. SEQ ID N0:69 was mapped to chromosome 10 within the
interval from
158.30 centiMorgans to the q terminus. SEQ ID N0:70 was mapped to chromosome 1
within the
interval from 63.90 to 74.80 centiMorgans. SEQ ID N0:71 was mapped to
chromosome 1 within the
interval from 159.60 to 164.10 centiMorgans. SEQ ID N0:73 was mapped to
chromosome 11 within
the interval from 34.30 to 37.00 centiMorgans. SEQ ID N0:75 was mapped to
chromosome 2 within
the interval from 107.10 to 118.00 centiMorgans. SEQ ID N0:76 was mapped to
chromosome 7
within the interval from 7.80 to 10.60 centiMorgans. SEQ ID NO:79 was mapped
to chromosome 22
within the interval from 22.20 to 40.20 centiMorgans. SEQ ID N0:81 was mapped
to chromosome 4
within the interval from the p terminus to 6.70 centiMorgans. SEQ ID NO: 84
was mapped to
chromosome 5 within the interval from 156.0 to 157.6 centiMorgans. SEQ ID NO:
88 was mapped to
chromosome 11 within the interval from 117.9 to 123.5 centiMorgans. SEQ ID
NO:91 was mapped to
chromosome 5 within the interval from 152.3 to 155.5 centiMorgans.
VII. 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)
sera, ch. 4 and 16.)
68


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 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
5 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.
Alternatively, polynucleotide sequences encoding RMEP are analyzed with
respect to the tissue
sources from which they were derived. For example, some full length sequences
are assembled, at least
in part, with overlapping Incyte cDNA sequences (see Example III). Each cDNA
sequence is derived
from a cDNA library constructed from a human tissue. Each human tissue is
classified into one of the
following organ/tissue categories: cardiovascular system; connective tissue;
digestive system;
embryonic structures; endocrine system; exocrine glands; genitalia, female;
genitalia, male; germ cells;
heroic and immune system; liver; musculoskeletal system; nervous system;
pancreas; respiratory system;
sense organs; skin; stomatognathic system; unclassified/mixed; or urinary
tract. The number of libraries
in each category is counted and divided by the total number of libraries
across all categories. Similarly,
each human tissue is classified into one of the following disease/condition
categories: cancer, cell line,
developmental, inflammation, neurological, trauma, cardiovascular, pooled, and
other, and the number
of libraries in each category is counted and divided by the total number of
libraries across all categories.
The resulting percentages reflect the tissue- and disease-specific expression
of cDNA encoding RMEP.
69


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
cDNA sequences and cDNA library/tissue information are found in the LIFESEQ
GOLD database
(Incyte Genomics, Palo Alto CA).
VIII. Extension of RMEP Encoding Polynucleotides
Full length polynucleotide sequences were also 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 was
synthesized to initiate 3' extension of the known fragment. The initial
primers were designed using
OLIGO 4.06 software (National Biosciences), or another appropriate program, to
be about 22 to 30
nucleotides in length, to have a GC content of about 50% or more, and to
anneal to the target sequence
at temperatures of about 68 °C to about 72°C. Any stretch of
nucleotides which would result in hairpin
structures and primer-primer dimerizations was avoided.
Selected human cDNA libraries were used to extend the sequence. If more than
one extension
was necessary or desired, additional or nested sets of primers were designed.
High fidelity amplification was obtained by PCR using methods well known in
the art. PCR
was performed in 96-well plates using the PTC-200 thermal cycler (MJ Research,
Inc.). The reaction
mix contained DNA template, 200 nmol of each primer, reaction buffer
containing Mg2+, (NH4)yS 04,
and 2-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 andPCI B: Step 1: 94°C, 3 min; Step 2: 94°C, 15 sec;
Step 3: 60°C, 1 min; Step 4: 68°C,
2 min; Step 5: Steps 2, 3, and 4 repeated 20 times; Step 6: 68 ° C, 5
min; Step 7: storage at 4 ° C. In the
alternative, the parameters for primer pair T7 and SK+ were as follows: Step
1: 94°C, 3 min; Step 2:
94°C, 15 sec; Step 3: 57°C, 1 min; Step 4: 68°C, 2 min;
Step 5: Steps 2, 3, and 4 repeated 20 times;
Step 6: 68°C, 5 min; Step 7: storage at 4°C.
The concentration of DNA in each well was determined by dispensing 100 ~1
PICOGREEN
quantitation reagent (0.25% (v/v) PICOGREEN; Molecular Probes, Eugene OR)
dissolved in 1X TE
and 0.5 ~l 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 /d to 10 /c1 aliquot of the reaction mixture was
analyzed by electrophoresis
on a 1 % agarose 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 relegation into pUC 18 vector (Amersham
Pharmacia Biotech). For
shotgun sequencing, the digested nucleotides were separated on low
concentrateon (0.6 to 0.8%) agarose


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
gels, fragments were excised, and agar digested with Agar ACE (Promega).
Extended clones were
religated using T4 ligase (New England Biolabs, Beverly MA) into pUC 18 vector
(Amersham
Pharmacia Biotech), treated with Pfu DNA polymerase (Stratagene) to fill-in
restriction site overhangs,
and transfected into competent E. coli cells. Transformed cells were selected
on antibiotic-containing
media, 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, 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 (Applied Biosystems).
In like manner, full length polynucleotide sequences are verified using the
above procedure or
are used to obtain 5' regulatory sequences using the above procedure along
with oligonucleotides
designed for such extension, and an appropriate genomic library.
IX. Labeling and Use of Individual Hybridization Probes
Hybridization probes derived from SEQ ID N0:48-94 are employed to screen
cDNAs, genomic
DNAs, or mRNAs. Although the labeling of oligonucleotides, consisting of about
20 base pairs, is
specifically described, essentially the same procedure is used with larger
nucleotide fragments.
Oligonucleotides are designed using state-of the-art software such as OLIGO
4.06 software (National
Biosciences) and labeled by combining 50 pmol of each oligomer, 250 ~Ci of [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.
71


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
Hybridization patterns are visualized using autoradiography or an alternative
imaging means and
compared.
X. 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, sera.), mechanical
microspotting technologies, and derivatives thereof. The substrate in each of
the aforementioned
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/~.il oligo-(dT)
primer (2lmer), 1X first
strand buffer, 0.03 units/iil RNase inhibitor, 500 ~M dATP, 500 ~M dGTP, 500
~M dTTP, 40 ~M
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
72


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 iil SX SSC/0.2% SDS.
Microarray 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
fig. 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 irl of the array
element DNA, at an average
concentration of 100 ng/iil, is loaded into the open capillary printing
element by a high-speed robotic
apparatus. The apparatus then deposits about 5 n1 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 minutes at 60°
C followed by washes in 0.2%
SDS and distilled water as before.
Hybridization
Hybridization reactions contain 9 ~~1 of sample mixture consisting of 0.2 ~g
each of Cy3 and
Cy5 labeled cDNA synthesis products in SX 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
73


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
140 ~~1 of SX 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 (0.1X 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
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
74


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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).
XI. Complementary Polynucleotides
Sequences complementary to the RMEP-encoding sequences, or any parts thereof,
are used to
detect, decrease, or inhibit expression of naturally occurring RMEP. 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 using OLIGO
4.06 software (National Biosciences) and the coding sequence of RMEP. 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 RMEP-encoding transcript.
XII. Expression of RMEP
Expression and purification of RMEP is achieved using bacterial or virus-based
expression
systems. For expression of RMEP 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 T5
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 RMEP upon induction with isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside
(IPTG). Expression of
RMEP 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
RMEP 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 frugiperda
(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, RMEP 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 japonicum, 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 RMEP at


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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, supra, ch.
10 and 16). Purified RMEP obtained by these methods can be used directly in
the assays shown in
Examples XVI and XVII where applicable.
XIII. ~nctional Assays
RMEP function is assessed by expressing the sequences encoding RMEP at
physiologically
elevated levels in mammalian cell culture systems. cDNA is subcloned into a
mammalian expression
vector containing a strong promoter that drives high levels of cDNA
expression. Vectors of choice
include PCMV SPORT (Life Technologies) and PCR3.1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad CA),
both of which
contain the cytomegalovirus promoter. 5-10 ~cg of recombinant vector are
transiently transfected into a
human cell line, for example, an endothelial or hematopoietic cell line, using
either liposome
formulations or electroporation. 1-2 ,ug 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 RMEP on gene expression can be assessed using highly purified
populations of
cells transfected with sequences encoding RMEP 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
76


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
of mRNA encoding RMEP and other genes of interest can be analyzed by northern
analysis or
microarray techniques.
XIV. Production of RMEP Specific Antibodies
RMEP substantially purified using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE;
see, e.g.,
Harrington, M.G. (1990) Methods Enzymol. 182:488-495), or other purification
techniques, is used to
immunize rabbits and to produce antibodies using standard protocols.
Alternatively, the RMEP 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 431A
peptide synthesizer (Applied Biosystems) 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-I~LH
complex in complete Freund's adjuvant. Resulting antisera are tested for
antipeptide and anti-RMEP
activity by, for example, binding the peptide or RMEP to a substrate, blocking
with 1 % BSA, reacting
with rabbit antisera, washing, and reacting with radio-iodinated goat anti-
rabbit IgG.
XV. Purification of Naturally Occurring RMEP Using Specific Antibodies
Naturally occurring or recombinant RMEP is substantially purified by
immunoaffinity
chromatography using antibodies specific for RMEP. An immunoafhnity column is
constructed by
covalently coupling anti-RMEP 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 RMEP are passed over the immunoafFnity column, and the column
is washed
under conditions that allow the preferential absorbance of RMEP (e.g., high
ionic strength buffers in the
presence of detergent). The column is eluted under conditions that disrupt
antibody/RMEP 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 RMEP is collected.
XVI. Identification of Molecules Which Interact with RMEP
RMEP, or biologically active fragments thereof, are labeled with lzsl Bolton-
Hunter reagent.
(See, e.g., Bolton A.E. and W.M. Hunter (1973) Biochem. J. 133:529-539.)
Candidate molecules

RMEP are used to calculate values for the number, affinity, and association of
RMEP with the
candidate molecules.
Alternatively, molecules interacting with RMEP 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).
RMEP may also be used in the PATHCALLING process (CuraGen Corp., New Haven CT)
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 ).
XVII. Demonstration of RMEP Activity
RMEP activity is demonstrated by a polyacrylamide gel mobility-shift assay. In
preparation
for this assay, RMEP is expressed by transforming a mammalian cell line such
as COS7, HeLa or
CHO with a eukaryotic expression vector containing RMEP cDNA. The cells are
incubated for 48-72
hours after transformation under conditions appropriate for the cell line to
allow expression and
accumulation of RMEP. Extracts containing solubilized proteins can be prepared
from cells
expressing RMEP by methods well known in the art. Portions of the extract
containing RMEP are
added to [32P]-labeled RNA. Radioactive RNA can be synthesized in vitro by
techniques well known
in the art. The mixtures are incubated at 25 °C in the presence of
RNase inhibitors under buffered
conditions for 5-10 minutes. After incubation, the samples are analyzed by
polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis followed by autoradiography. The presence of a band on the
autoradiogram indicates
the formation of a complex between RMEP and the radioactive transcript. A band
of similar mobility
will not be present in samples prepared using control extracts prepared from
untransformed cells.
In the alternative, ribosomal protein function of RMEP is assessed by
expressing the
sequences encoding ribosomal proteins at physiologically elevated levels in
mammalian cell culture
systems. cDNA is subcloned into a mammalian expression vector containing a
strong promoter that
drives high levels of cDNA expression. Vectors of choice include PCMV SPORT
(Life
Technologies) and PCR3.1 (Invitrogen Corporation), both of which contain the
cytomegalovirus
promoter (P~~). Between 5-10 ~g of recombinant vector are transfected into a
human cell line,
preferably of endothelial or hematopoietic origin, using either liposome
formulations or
electroporation. 1-2 ~g of an additional plasmid containing sequences encoding
a marker protein are
cotransfected.
Transient 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
78


CA 02407435 2002-10-24
WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
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 MG (1994)
Flow ~tometry,
Oxford University Press, New York NY.
The influence of ribosomal proteins on gene expression can be assessed using
highly purified
populations of cells transfected with sequences encoding a ribosomal protein
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, Inc., 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 a ribosomal
protein and other genes
of interest can be analyzed by northern analysis or microarray techniques.
In the alternative, RMEP activity is measured as the aminoaeylation of a
substrate tRNA in
the presence of [l4C]cysteine. RMEP is incubated with tRNA~ys and
[14C]cysteine (or appropriate
tRNA and amino acid substrates) in a buffered solution. [14C]-labeled product
is separated from free
[14C]-amino acid by chromatography, and the incorporated [laC] is quantified
by scintillation counter.
The amount of [14C] deteeted is proportional to the activity of RMEP in this
assay.
In the alternative, RMEP activity is measured by incubating a sample
containing RMEP in a
solution containing 1 mM ATP, 5 mM Hepes-KOH (pH 7.0), 2.5 mM KCl, 1.5 mM
magnesium
chloride, and 0.5 mM DTT along with misacylated [14C]-Glu-tRNAGln (e.g., 1
~iM) and a similar
concentration of unlabeled L-glutamine. Following the quenching of the
reaction with 3 M sodium
acetate (pH 5.0), the mixture is extracted with an equal volume of water-
saturated phenol, and the
aqueous and organic phases are separated by centrifugation at 15,000 x g at
room temperature for 1
min. The aqueous phase is removed and precipitated with 3 volumes of ethanol
at -70°C for 15 min.
The precipitated aminoacyl-tRNAs are recovered by centrifugation at 15,000 x g
at 4°C forl5 min.
The pellet is resuspended in of 25 mM KOH, deacylated at 65°C for 10
min., neutralized with 0.1 M
HCl (to final pH 6-7), and dried under vacuum. The dried pellet is resuspended
in water and spotted
onto a cellulose TLC plate. The plate is developed in either
isopropanol/fornuc acid/water or
79

WO 01/83524 PCT/USO1/13862
ammonialwater/chloroform/methanol, The image is subjected to densitometric
analysis and the
relative amounts of Glu and Gln are calculated based on the Rf values and
relative intensities of the
spots. RMEP activity is calculated based on the amount of Gln resulting from
the transformation of
Glu while acylated as Glu-tRNAG'" (adapted from Curnow, A.W. et al. (1997)
Proc. Natt. Acad. Sci.
94:11819-26).
Various modifications and variations of the described methods and systems of
the invention will

specific embodiments.
Indeed, various modifications of the described modes for carrying out the
invention which are obvious to
