NUCLEIC ACID AND AMINO ACID SEQUENCES RELATING TO
HELICOBACTER PYLORI AND VACCINE COMPOSITIONS THEREOF
Background of the Invention
Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, S-shaped, microaerophilic bacterium
that
was discovered and cultured from a human gastric biopsy specimen. (Warren,
J.R. and
B. Marshall, ( 1983 ) Lancet 1: 1273-1275; and Marshall et al., ( 1984)
Microbios Lett. _25
83-88). H. pylori has been strongly linked to chronic gastritis and duodenal
ulcer
disease- (Rathbone et. al., ( 1986) Gut 27: 635-641 ). Moreover, evidence is
accumulating for an etiologic role of H. pylori in nonulcer dyspepsia, gastric
ulcer
disease, and gastric adenocarcinoma. (Blaser M. J., (1993) Trends Microbiol.
_l : 255-
260). Transmission of the bacteria occurs via the oral route, and the risk of
infection
increases with age. (Taylor, D.N. and M. J. Blaser, ( 1991 ) Epidemiol. Rev
13: 42-50).
H. pylori colonizes the human gastric mucosa, establishing an infection that
usually
persists for decades. Infection by H. pylori is prevalent worldwide. Developed
countries have infection rates over 50% of the adult population, while
developing
countries have infection rates reaching 90% of the adults over the age of 20.
(Hopkins
R. J. and J. G. Morris ( 1994) Am. J. Med. 97: 265-277).
The bacterial factors necessary for colonization of the gastric environment,
and
for virulence of this pathogen, are poorly understood. Examples of the
putative
virulence factors include the following: urease, an enzyme that may play a
role in
neutralizing gastric acid pH (Eaton et al., ( 1991 ) Infect. Immunol. S 9:
2470-2475;
Ferrero, R.L. and A. Lee ( 1991 ) Microb. Ecol. Hlth. Dis. 4: 121-134; Labigne
et al.,
( 1991 ) J. Bacteriol. 173: 1920-1931 ); the bacterial flagellar proteins
responsible for
motility across the mucous layer. (Hazell et al., (1986) J. Inf. Dis. 153: 658-
663; Leying
et al., ( 1992) Mol. Microbiol. 6: 2863-2874; and Haas et al., ( 1993 ) Mol.
Microbiol. _8
753-760); Vac A, a bacterial toxin that induces the formation of intracellular
vacuoles in
epithelial cells {Schmitt, W. and R. Haas, (1994) Molecular Microbiol. 12(2):
307-319);
and several gastric tissue-specific adhesins. (Boren et al., (1993) Science
262: 1892-
1895; Evans et al., (1993) J. Bacteriol. 175: 674-683; and Falk et al., (1993)
Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 90: 2035-203).
Numerous therapeutic agents are currently available that eradicate H. pylori
infections in vitro. (Huesca et. al., (1993) Zbl. Bakt. 280: 244-252; Hopkins,
R. J. and J.
G. Morris, supra). However, many of these treatments are suboptimally
effective in vivo
because of bacterial resistance, altered drug distribution, patient non-
compliance or poor
drug availabilty. (Hopkins, R. J. and J. G. Morris, supra). Treatment with
antibiotics
combined with bismuth are part of the standard regime used to treat H. pylori
infection.

(Malfertheiner, P. and J. E. Dominguez-Munoz (1993) Clinical Therapeutics 15
Supp.
B: 37-48). Recently, combinations of a proton pump inhibitors and a single
antibiotic
have been shown to ameliorate duodenal ulcer disease. (Malfertheiner, P. and
J. E.
Dominguez-Munoz supra). However, methods employing antibiotic agents can have
the
problem of the emergence of bacterial strains which are resistant to these
agents.
(Hopkins, R. J. and J. G. Morris, supra). These limitations demonstrate that
new more
effective methods are needed to combat H. pylori infections in vivo. In
particular, the
design of new vaccines that may prevent infection by this bacterium is highly
desirable.
Summary of the Invention
This invention relates to novel genes, e.g., genes encoding polypeptides such
as
bacterial surface proteins, from the organism Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori),
and other
related genes, their products, and uses thereof. The nucleic acids and
peptides of the
present invention have utility for diagnostic and therapeutics for H. pylori
and other
Helicobacter species. They can also be used to detect the presence of H.
pylori and
other Helicobacter species in a sample; and for use in screening compounds for
the
ability to interfere with the H. pylori life cycle or to inhibit H. pylori
infection. More
specifically, this invention features compositions of nucleic acids
corresponding to
entire coding sequences of H. pylori proteins, including surface or secreted
proteins or
parts thereof, nucleic acids capable of binding mRNA from H. pylori proteins
to block
protein translation, and methods for producing H. pylori proteins or parts
thereof using
peptide synthesis and recombinant DNA techniques. This invention also features
antibodies and nucleic acids useful as probes to detect H. pylori infection.
In addition,
vaccine compositions and methods for the protection or treatment of infection
by H.
pylori are within the scope of this invention.

Definitions
The terms "purified polypeptide" and "isolated polypeptide" and "a
substantially
pure preparation of a polypeptide" are used interchangeably herein and, as
used herein,
mean a poIypeptide that has been substantially, and preferably completely,
separated
from other proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids with which it naturally occurs.
Preferably,
the polypeptide is also separated from substances, e.g., antibodies or gel
matrix, e.g.,
polyacrylamide, which are used to purify it. Preferably, the polypeptide
constitutes at
least 10, 20, SO 70, 80 or 95% dry weight of the purified preparation.
Preferably, the
preparation contains: sufficient polypeptide to allow protein sequencing; at
least 1, 10,
or 100 pg of the polypeptide; at least 1, 10, or 100 mg of the polypeptide.
Furthermore,
the terms "purified polypeptide" and "isolated polypeptide" and "a
substantially pure
preparation of a polypeptide," as used herein, refer to both a polypeptide
obtained from
nature or produced by recombinant DNA techniques as described herein.
For example, an "isolated" or "purified" protein or biologically active
portion
thereof is substantially free of cellular material or other contaminating
proteins from the
cell or tissue source from which the H. pylori protein is derived, or
substantially free
from chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. The
language "substantially free of cellular material" includes preparations of H.
pylori
protein in which the protein is separated from cellular components of the
cells from
which it is isolated or recombinantly produced. In one embodiment, the
language
"substantially free of cellular material" includes preparations of H. pylori
protein having
less than about 30% (by dry weight) of non-H. pylori protein (also referred to
herein as a
"contaminating protein"), more preferably less than about 20% of non-H. pylori
protein,
still more preferably Less than about 10% of non-H. pylori protein, and most
preferably
less than about 5% non-H. pylori protein. When the H. pylori protein or
biologically
active portion thereof is recombinantly produced, it is also preferably
substantially free
of culture medium, i.e., culture medium represents less than about 20%, more
preferably
less than about 10%, and most preferably less than about 5% of the volume of
the
protein preparation.
The language "subst ntially free of chemical precursors or other chemicals"
includes preparations of H. pylori protein ial which the protein is separated
from
chemical precusors or other chemicals which are involved in the synthesis of
the protein.
In one embodiment, the language "substantially free of chemical precursors or
other
chemicals" includes preparations of H. pylori protein having less than about
30% (by dry
weight) of chemical precursors or non-H. pylori chemicals, more preferably
less than
about 20% chemical precursors or non-H. pylori chemicals, still more
preferably less

-30-
than about 10% chemical precursors or non-H. pylori chemicals, and most
preferably
less than about 5% chemical precursors or non-H. pylori chemicals.
A purified preparation of cells refers to, in the case of plant or animal
cells, an in
vitro preparation of cells and not an entire intact plant or animal. In the
case of cultured
cells or microbial cells, it consists of a preparation of at least 10% and
more preferably
50% of the subject cells.
A purified or isolated or a substantially pure nucleic acid, e.g., a
substantially
pure DNA, (are terms used interchangeably herein) is a nucleic acid which is
one or both
of the following: not immediately contiguous with both of the coding sequences
with
which it is immediately contiguous (i.e., one at the 5' end and one at the 3'
end) in the
naturally-occurring genome of the organism from which the nucleic acid is
derived; or
which is substantially free of a nucleic acid with which it occurs in the
organism from
which the nucleic acid is derived. The term includes, for example, a
recombinant DNA
which is incorporated into a vector, e.g., into an autonomously replicating
plasmid or
virus, or into the genomic DNA of a prokaryote or eukaryote, or which exists
as a
separate molecule (e.g., a cDNA or a genomic DNA fragment produced by PCR or
restriction endonuclease treatment) independent of other DNA sequences. -
Substantially
pure DNA also includes a recombinant DNA which is part of a hybrid gene
encoding
additional H. pylori DNA sequence.
A "contig" as used herein is a nucleic acid representing a continuous stretch
of
genomic sequence of an organism.
An "open reading frame", also referred to herein as ORF, is a region of
nucleic
acid which encodes a polypeptide. This region may represent a portion of a
coding
sequence or a total sequence and can be determined from a stop to stop codon
or from a
start to stop codon.
As used herein, a "coding sequence" is a nucleic acid which is transcribed
into
messenger RNA and/or translated into a polypeptide when placed under the
control of
appropriate regulatory sequences. The boundaries of the coding sequence are
determined by a translation start codon at the five prime terminus and a
translation stop
code at the three prime terminus. A coding sequence can include but is not
limited to
messenger R:~1A, synthetic DNA, and recombinant nucleic acid sequences.
A "complement" of a nucleic acid as used herein referes to an anti-parallel or
antisense sequence that participates in Watson-Crick base-pairing with the
original
sequence.
A "gene product" is a protein or structural RNA which is specifically encoded
by
a gene.

As used herein, the term "probe" refers to a nucleic acid, peptide or other
chemical entity which specifically binds to a molecule of interest. Probes are
often
associated with or capable of associating with a label. A label is a chemical
moiety
capable of detection. Typical labels comprise .dyes, radioisotopes,
luminescent and
chemiluminescent moieties, fluorophores, enzymes, precipitating agents,
amplification
sequences, and the like. Similarly, a nucleic acid, peptide or other chemical
entity which
specifically binds to a molecule of interest and immobilizes such molecule is
referred
herein as a "capture ligand". Capture ligands are typically associated with or
capable of
associating with a support such as nitro-cellulose, glass, nylon membranes,
beads,
particles and the like. The specificity of hybridization is dependent on
conditions such
as the base pair composition of the nucleotides, and the temperature and salt
concentration of the reaction. These conditions are readily discernable to one
of
ordinary skill in the art using routine experimentation.
Homologous refers to the sequence similarity or sequence identity between two
1 S polypeptides or between two nucleic acid molecules. When a position in
both of the two
compared sequences is occupied by the same base or amino acid monomer subunit,
e.g.,
if a position in each of two DNA molecules is occupied by adenine, then the
molecules
are homologous at that position. The percent of homology between two sequences
is a
function of the number of matching or homologous positions shared by the two
sequences divided by the number of positions compared x 100. For example, if 6
of 10
of the positions in two sequences are matched or homologous then the two
sequences are
60% homologous. By way of example, the DNA sequences ATTGCC and TATGGC
share 50% homology. Generally, a comparison is made when two sequences are
aligned
to give maximum homology.
Nucleic acids are hybridizable to each other when at least one strand of a
nucleic
acid can anneal to the other nucleic acid under defined stringency conditions.
Stringency of hybridization is determined by: (a) the temperature at which
hybridization
andlor washing is performed; and. (b) the ionic strength and polarity of the
hybridization
and washing solutions. Hybridization requires that the two nucleic acids
contain
complementary sequences; depending on the stringency of hybridization,
however,
mismatches may be tolerated. Typically, hybridization of two sequences at high
stingency (such as, for example, in a solution of 0.5X SSC, at 65° C)
requires that the
sequences be essentially completely homologous. - Conditions of intermediate
stringency
(such as, for example, 2X SSC at 65 ° C) and low stringency (such as,
for example 2X
SSC at 55° C), require correspondingly less overall complementarity
between the
hybridizing sequences. ( 1 X SSC is 0.15 M NaCI, 0.015 M Na citrate). A
preferred,
non-limiting example of stringent hybridization conditions are hybridization
in 6X

sodium chIoride/sodium citrate (SSC) at about 45~C, followed by one or more
washes in
0.2 X SSC, 0.1% SDS at 50-65pC.
The terms peptides, proteins, and polypeptides are used interchangeably
herein.
As used herein, the term "surface protein" refers to all surface accessible
proteins, e.g. inner and outer membrane proteins, proteins adhering to the
cell wall, and
secreted proteins.
A polypeptide has H. pylori biological activity if it has one, two and
preferably
more of the following properties: (1) if when expressed in the course of an H.
pylori
infection, it can promote, or mediate the attachment of H. pylori to a cell;
(2) it has an
enzymatic activity, structural or regulatory function characteristic of an N.
pylori
protein; (3) the gene which encodes it can rescue a lethal mutation in an H.
pylori gene;
(4) or it is immunogenic in a subject. A polypeptide has biological activity
if it is an
antagonist, agonist, or super-agonist of a polypeptide having one of the above-
listed
properties.
A biologically active fragment or analog is one having an in vivo or in vitro
activity which is characteristic of the H. pylori polypeptides of the
invention contained
in the Sequence Listing, or of other naturally occurring H. pylori
polypeptides, e.g., one
or more of the biological activities described herein. Especially preferred
are fragments
which exist in vivo, e.g., fragments which arise from post transcriptional
processing or
which arise from translation of alternatively spliced RNA's. Fragments include
those
expressed in native or endogenous cells as well as those made in expression
systems,
e.g., in CHO cells. Because peptides such as H. pylori polypeptides often
exhibit a
range of physiological properties and because such properties may be
attributable to
different portions of the molecule, a useful H. pylori fragment or H. pylori
analog is one
which exhibits a biological activity in any biological assay for H. pylori
activity. Most
preferably the fragment or analog possesses 10%, preferably 40%, more
preferably 60%,
70%, 80% or 90% or greater of the activity of H. pylori, in any in vivo or in
vitro assay.
Analogs can differ from naturally occurring H. pylori polypeptides in amino
acid
sequence or in ways that do not involve sequence, or both. Non-sequence
modifications
include changes in acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, carboxylation,
or
glycosylation. Preferred analogs include H. pylori polypeptides (or
biologically act'.ve
fragments thereof) whose sequences differ from the wild-type sequence by one
or more
conservative amino acid substitutions or by one or more non-conservative amino
acid
substitutions, deletions, or insertions which do not substantially diminish
the biological
activity of the H. pylori polypeptide. Conservative substitutions typically
include the
substitution of one amino acid for another with similar characteristics, e.g.,
substitutions
within the following groups: valine, gIycine; glycine, alanine; valine,
isoleucine,

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1 -

leucine; aspartic acid, glutamic acid; asparagine, glutamine; serine,
threonine; lysine,
arginine; and phenylalanine, tyrosine. Other conservative substitutions can be
made in

cellular immune response in a host animal alone or in combination with an
adjuvant.
An "antigenic component" as used herein is a moiety, such as an H. pylori
polypeptide, analog or fragment thereof, that is capable of binding to a
specific antibody
with sufficiently high affinity to form a detectable antigen-antibody complex.
As used herein, the term "transgene" means a nucleic acid (encoding, e.g., one
or
more polypeptides), which is partly or entirely heterologous, i.e., foreign,
to the
transgenic animal or cell into which it is introduced, or, is homologous to an
endogenous
gene of the transgenic animal or cell into which it is introduced, but which
is designed to
be inserted, or is inserted, into the cell's genome in such a way as to alter
the genome of
the cell into which it is inserted (e.g., it is inserted at a location which
differs from that
of the natural gene or its insertion results in a knockout). A transgene can
include one or
more transcriptional regulatory sequences and any other nucleic acid, such as
introns,
that may be necessary for optimal expression of the selected nucleic acid, all
operably
linked to the selected nucleic acid, and may include an enhancer sequence.
As used-herein, the term "transgenic cell" refers to a cell containing a
transgene.
As used herein, a "transgenic animal" is any animal in which one or more, and
preferably essentially all, of the cells of the animal includes a transgene.
The transgene
can be introduced into the cell, directly or indirectly by introduction into a
precursor of
the cell, by way of deliberate genetic manipulation, such as by a process of
transformation of competent cells or by microinjection or by infection with a
recombinant virus. This molecule may be integrated within a chromosome, or it
may be
extrachromosomallv r~:plicating DNA.
The term "antibody" as used herein is intended to include fragments thereof
which are specifically reactive with H. pylori polypeptides.
As used herein, the term "cell-specific promoter" means a DNA sequence that
serves as a promoter, i.e., regulates expression of a selected DNA sequence
operably
linked to the promoter, and which effects expression of the selected DNA

which

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1

-35-
regulate expression of a selected DNA primarily in one tissue, but cause
expression in
other tissues as well.
Misexpression, as used herein, refers to a non-wild type pattern of gene
expression. It includes: expression at non-wild type levels, i.e., over or
under
S expression; a pattern of expression that differs from wild type in terms of
the time or
stage at which the gene is expressed, e.g., increased or decreased expression
(as
compared with wild type) at a predetermined developmental period or stage; a
pattern of
expression that differs from wild type in terms of decreased expression (as
compared
with wild type) in a predetermined cell type or tissue type; a pattern of
expression that
differs from wild type in terms of the splicing size, amino acid sequence,
post-
transitional modification, or biological activity of the expressed
polypeptide; a pattern of
expression that differs from wild type in terms of the effect of an
environmental stimulus
or extracellular stimulus on expression of the gene, e.g., a pattern of

increase or
decrease in the strength of the stimulus.
As used herein, "host cells" and other such terms denoting microorganisms or
higher eukaryotic cell lines cultured as unicellular entities refers to cells
which can
become or have been used as recipients for a recombinant vector or other
transfer DNA,
and include the progeny of the original cell which has been transfected. It is
understood
by individuals skilled in the art that the progeny of a single parental cell
may not
necessarily be completely identical in genomic or total DNA compliment to the
original
parent, due to accident or deliberate mutation.
As used herein, the term "control sequence" refers to a nucleic acid having a
base
sequence which is recognized by the host organism to effect the expression of
encoded
sequences to which they are ligated. The nature of such control sequences
differs
depending upon the host organism; in prokaryotes, such control sequences
generally
include a promoter, ribosomal binding site, terminators, and in some cases
operators; in
eukaryotes, generally such control sequences include promoters, terminators
and in
some instances, enhancers. The term control sequence is intended to include at
a
- 30 minimum, all components whose presence is necessary for expression, and
may also
include additional components whose presence is advantageous, for example,
leader
sequences.
As used herein, the term "operably linked" refers to sequences joined or
ligated
to function in their intended manner. For example, a control sequence is
operably linked
to coding sequence by ligation in such a way that expression of the coding
sequence is
achieved under conditions compatible with the control sequence and host cell.

tissue or fluid isloated from an individual (including without limitation
plasma, serum,
cerebrospinal fluid, lymph, tears, saliva and tissue sections) or from in
vitro cell culture

DNA, and immunology, which are within the skill of the art. Such techniques
are
explained fully in the literature. See e.g., Sambrook, Fritsch, and Maniatis,

I. Isolation of Nucleic Acids of H.~vlori and Uses Therefor
H. pylori Genomic Sequence
This invention provides nucleotide sequences of the genome of H. pylori which
thus comprises a DNA sequence library of H. pylori genomic DNA.The detailed
description that follows provides nucleotide sequences of H. pylori, and also
describes
how the sequences were obtained and how ORFs and protein-coding sequences were
identified. Also described are methods of using the disclosed H. pylori sec
uences in
methods including diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Furthermore, the
library can
be used as a database for identification and comparison of medically important
sequences in this and other strains of H. pylori.
To determine the genomic sequence of H. pylori, DNA was isolated from a strain
of H. pylori (ATCC # 55679; deposited by Genome Therapeutics Corporation, 100
Beaver Street, Waltham, MA 02154) and mechanically sheared by nebulization to
a

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-37-
median size of 2 kb. Following size fractionation by gel electrophoresis, the
fragments
were blunt-ended, ligated to adapter oligonucleotides, and cloned into each of
20
different pMPX vectors (Rice et al., abstracts of Meeting of Genome Mapping
and
Sequencing, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, 5/I 1-5/15, 1994, p. 225) to construct a
series of
S "shotgun" subclone libraries.
DNA sequencing was achieved using multiplex sequencing procedures
essentially as disclosed in Church et al., 1988, Science 240:185; U.S. Patents
No.
4,942,124 and 5,149,625). DNA was extracted from pooled cultures and subjected
to
chemical or enzymatic sequencing. Sequencing reactions were resolved by
electrophoresis, and the products were transferred and covalently bound to
nylon
membranes. Finally, the membranes were sequentially hybridized with a series
of
labelled oligonucleotides complimentary to "tag" sequences present in the
different
shotgun cloning vectors. In this manner, a large number of sequences could be
obtained
from a single set of sequencing reactions. The cloning and sequencing
procedures are
described in more detail in the Exemplification.
Individual sequence reads obtained in this manner were assembled using the
FALCONTM program (Church et al., 1994, Automated DNA Sequencing and Analysis,
J.C. Venter, ed., Academic Press) and PHRAP (P. Green, Abstracts of DOE Human
Genome Program Contractor-Grantee Workshop V, Jan. 1996, p.157). The average
contig length was about 3-4 kb.
A variety of approaches are used to order the contigs so as to obtain a
continuous
sequence representing the entire H. pylori genome. Synthetic oligonucleotides
are
designed that are complementary to sequences at the end of each contig. These
oligonucleotides may be hybridized to libaries of H. pylori genomic DNA in,
for
example, lambda phage vectors or plasmid vectors to identify clones that
contain
sequences corresponding to the functional regions between individual contigs.
Such
clones are then used to isolate template DNA and the same oligonucleotides are
used as
primers in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify functional fragments,
the
nucleotide sequence of which is then determined.
The H. pylori sequences were analyzed for the presence of open reading frames
(ORFs) comprising at least 180 nucleotides As a result of the analysis of ORFs
based
on stop-to-stop codon reads, it should be understood that these ORFs may not
correspond to the ORF of a naturally-occurring H. pylori polypeptide. These
ORFs may
contain start codons which indicate the initiation of protein synthesis of a
naturally-
occurnng H. pylori polypeptide. Such start codons within the ORFs provided
herein can
be identified by those of ordinary skill in the relevant art, and the
resulting ORF and the
encoded H. pylori polypeptide is within the scope of this invention. For
example, within

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/LTS97/22104
-38-
the ORFs a codon such as AUG or GUG (encoding methionine or valine) which is
part
of the initiation signal for protein synthesis can be identified and the ORF
modified to
correspond to a naturally-occurring H. pylori polypeptide. The predicted
coding regions
were defined by evaluating the coding potential of such sequences with the
program
GENEMARKT"' (Borodovsky and McIninch, 1993, Comp. Chem. 17:123).
Other H. pylori Nucleic Acids
The nucleic acids of this invention may be obtained directly from the DNA of
the
above referenced H. pylori strain by using the polymerase chain reaction
(PCR). See
"PCR, A Practical Approach" (McPherson, Quirke, and Taylor, eds., IRL Press,
Oxford,
UK, 1991 ) for details aboutthe PCR. High fidelity PCR can be used to ensure a
faithful
DNA copy prior to expression. In addition, the authenticity of amplified
products can be
checked by conventional sequencing methods. Clones carrying the desired
sequences
described in this invention may also be obtained by screening the libraries by
means of
the PCR or by hybridization of synthetic oligonucleotide probes to filter
lifts of the
library colonies or plaques as known in the art (see, e.g., Sambrook et al.,
Molecular
Cloning, A Laboratory Manual 2nd edition, 1989, Cold Spring Harbor Press, NY).
It is also possible to obtain nucleic acids encoding H. pylori polypeptides
from a
cDNA library in accordance with protocols herein described. A cDNA encoding an
H.
pylori polypeptide can be obtained by isolating total mRNA from an appropriate
strain.
Double stranded cDNAs can then be prepared from the total mRNA. Subsequently,
the
cDNAs can be inserted into a suitable plasmid or viral (e.g., bacteriophage)
vector using
any one of a number of known techniques. Genes encoding H. pylori polypeptides
can
also be cloned using established polymerase chain reaction techniques in
accordance
with the nucleotide sequence information provided by the invention. The
nucleic acids
of the invention can be DNA or RNA. Preferred nucleic acids of the invention
are
contained in the Sequence Listing.
The nucleic acids of the invention can also be chemically synthesized using
standard techniques. Various methods of chemically synthesizing
polydeoxynucleotides
-- 30 are known, including solid-phase synthesis which, like peptide
synthesis, has been fully
automated in commercially available DNA synthesizers (See e.g., Itakura et al.
U.S.
Patent No. 4,598,049; Caruthers et al. U.S. Patent No. 4,458,066; and Itakura
U.S.
Patent Nos. 4,401,796 and 4,373,071, incorporated by reference herein).
Nucleic acids isolated or synthesized in accordance with features of the
present
invention are useful, by way of example, without limitation, as probes,
primers, capture
ligands, antisense genes and for developing expression systems for the
synthesis of
proteins and peptides corresponding to such sequences. As probes, primers,
capture
_~.._____

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-39-
ligands and antisense agents, the nucleic acid normally consists of all or
part
(approximately twenty or more nucleotides for specificity as well as the
ability to form
stable hybridization products) of the nucleic acids of the invention contained
in the
Sequence Listing. These uses are described in further detail below.
Probes
A nucleic acid isolated or synthesized in accordance with the sequence of the
invention contained in the Sequence Listing can be used as a probe to
specifically detect
H pylori. With the sequence information set forth in the present application,
sequences
of twenty ar more nucleotides are identified which provide the desired
inclusivity and
exclusivity with respect to H. pylori, and extraneous nucleic acids likely to
be
encountered during hybridization conditions. More preferably, the sequence
will
comprise at least twenty to thirty nucleotides to convey stability to the
hybridization
product formed between the probe and the intended target molecules.
Sequences larger than 1000 nucleotides in length are difficult to synthesize
but
1 S can be generated by recombinant DNA techniques. Individuals skilled in the
art will
readily recognize that the nucleic acids, for use as probes, can be provided
with a label to
facilitate detection of a hybridization product.
Nucleic acid isolated and synthesized in accordance with the sequence of the
invention contained in the Sequence Listing can also be useful as probes to
detect
homologous regions (especially homologous genes) of other Helicobacter species
using
appropriate stringency hybridization conditions as described herein.
Capture Ligand
For use as a capture ligand, the nucleic acid selected in the manner described
above with respect to probes, can be readily associated with a support. The
manner in
which nucleic acid is associated with supports is well known. Nucleic acid
having
twenty or more nucleotides in a sequence of the invention contained in the
Sequence
Listing have utility to separate H. pylori nucleic acid from the nucleic acid
of each other
and other organisms. Nucleic acid having twenty or more nucleotides in a
sequence of
the invention contained in the Sequence Listing can also have utility to
separate other
Helicobacter species from each other and from other organisms. Preferably, the
- sequence will comprise at least twenty nucleotides to convey stability to
the
hybridization product formed between the probe and the intended target
molecules.
Sequences larger than 1000 nucleotides in length are difficult to synthesize
but can be
- generated by recombinant DNA techniques.

Primers
Nucleic acid isolated or synthesized in accordance with the sequences
described
herein have utility as primers for the amplification of H. pylori nucleic
acid. These
nucleic acids may also have utility as primers for the amplification of
nucleic acids in
other Helicobacter species. With respect to polymerise chain reaction (PCR)
techniques, nucleic acid sequences of > 10-15 nucleotides of the invention
contained in
the Sequence Listing have utility in conjunction with suitable enzymes and
reagents to
create copies of H. pylori nucleic acid. More preferably, the sequence will
comprise
twenty or more nucleotides to convey stability to the hybridization product
formed
between the primer and the intended target molecules. Binding conditions of
primers
greater than 100 nucleotides are more difficult to control to obtain
specificity. High
fidelity PCR can be used to ensure a faithful DNA copy prior to expression. In
addition,
amplified products can be checked by conventional sequencing methods.
The copies can be used in diagnostic assays to detect specific sequences,
including genes from H. pylori and/or other Helicobacter species. The copies
can also
be incorporated into cloning and expression vectors to generate polypeptides
corresponding to the nucleic acid synthesized by PCR, as is described in
greater detail
herein.
Antisense
Nucleic acid or nucleic acid-hybridizing derivatives isolated or synthesized
in
accordance with the sequences described herein have utility as antisense
agents to
prevent the expression of H. pylori genes. These sequences also have utility
as antisense
agents to prevent expression of genes of other Helicobacter species.
In one embodiment, nucleic acid or derivatives corresponding to H. pylori
nucleic acids is loaded into a suitable carrier such as a liposome or
bacteriophage for
introduction into bacterial cells. For example, a nucleic acid having twenty
or more
nucleotides is capable of binding to bacteria nucleic acid or bacteria
messenger RNA.
Preferably, the antisense nucleic acid is comprised of 20 or more nucleotides
to provide
necessary stability of a hybridization product of non-naturally occurring
nucleic acid and
bacterial nucleic acid and/or bacterial messenger RNA. Nucle~c ~ aid having a
sequence
greater than 1000 nucleotides in length is difficult to synthesize but can be
generated by
recombinant DNA techniques. Methods for loading antisense nucleic acid in
liposomes
is known in the art as exemplified by U.S. Patent 4,241,046 issued December
23, 1980
to Papahadjopoulos et al.

II. Exyression of H. pylori Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acid isolated or synthesized in accordance with the sequences
described
herein have utility to generate polypeptides. The nucleic acid of the
invention
exemplified in the Sequence Listing or fragments of the nucleic acid encoding
active
portions of H. pylori polypeptides can be cloned into suitable vectors or used
to isolate
nucleic acid. The isolated nucleic acid is combined with suitable DNA linkers
and
cloned into a suitable vector.
The function of a specific gene or operon can be ascertained by expression in
a
bacterial strain under conditions where the activity of the gene products)
specified by
the gene or operon in question can be specifically measured. Alternatively, a
gene
product may be produced in large quantities in an expressing strain fir use as
an antigen,
an industrial reagent, for structural studies, etc. This expression can be
accomplished in
a mutant strain which lacks the activity of the gene to be tested, or in a
strain that does
not produce the same gene products}. This includes, but is not limited to
other
1 S Helicobacter strains, or other bacterial strains such as E. toll,
Norcardia,
Corynebacterium, Campylobacter, and Streptomyces species. In some cases the
expression host will utilize the natural Helicobacter promoter whereas in
others, it will
be necessary to drive the gene with a promoter sequence derived from the
expressing
organism (e.g., an E. toll beta-galactosidase promoter for expression in E.
toll).
To express a gene product using the natural H. pylori promoter, a procedure
such
as the following can be used. A restriction fragment containing the gene of
interest,
together with its associated natural promoter element and regulatory sequences
(identified using the DNA sequence data) is cloned into an appropriate
recombinant
plasmid containing an origin of replication that functions in the host
organism and an
appropriate selectable marker. This can be accomplished by a number of
procedures
known to those skilled in the art. It is most preferably done by cutting the
plasmid and
the fragment to be cloned with the same restriction enzyme to produce
compatible ends
that can be ligated to join the two pieces together. The recombinant plasmid
is
introduced into the~host organism by, for example, electroporation and cells
containing
the recombinant plasmid are identified by selection for the marker on the
plasmid.
Expression of the desired gene rro~~uct is detected using an assay specific
for that gene
product.
In the case of a gene that requires a different promoter, the body of the gene
(coding sequence) is specifically excised and cloned into an appropriate
expression
plasmid. This subcloning can be done by several methods, but is most easily
accomplished by PCR amplification of a specific fragment and Iigation into an

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCTIUS97/22104
- 42 -
expression plasmid after treating the PCR product with a restriction enzyme or
exonuclease to create suitable ends for cloning.
A suitable host cell for expression of a gene can be any procaryotic or
eucaryotic
cell. For example, an H. pylori polypeptide can be expressed in bacterial
cells such as E.
coli, insect cells (baculovirus), yeast, or mammalian cells such as Chinese
hamster ovary
cell (CHO). Other suitable host cells are known to those skilled in the art.
Expression in eucaryotic cells such as mammalian, yeast, or insect cells can
lead
to partial or complete glycosylation and/or formation of relevant inter- or
intra-chain
disulfide bonds of a recombinant peptide product. Examples of vectors for
expression in
yeast S. cerivisae include pYepSec 1 (Baldari. et al., ( 1987) Embo J. 6:229-
234), pMFa
(Kurjan and Herskowitz, (1982) Cell 30:933-943), pJRY88 (Schultz et al.,
(1987) Gene
54:I 13-123), and pYES2 (Invitrogen Corporation, San Diego, CA). Baculovirus
vectors
available for expression of proteins in cultured insect cells (SF 9 cells)
include the pAc
series (Smith et al., ( 1983) Mol. Cell Biol. 3:2156-2165) and the pVL series
(Lucklow,
V.A., and Summers, M.D., (1989) Virology 170:31-39). Generally, COS cells
(Gluzman, Y., ( 1981 ) Cell 23:175-I 82) are used in conjunction with such
vectors as
pCDM 8 (Aruffo, A. and Seed, B., (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:8573-
8577) for
transient amplification/expression in mammalian cells, while CHO (dhfr-
Chinese
Hamster Ovary) cells are used with vectors such as pMT2PC (Kaufman et al. (
1987},
EMBO J. 6: I 87-195) for stable amplification/expression in mammalian cells.
Vector
DNA can be introduced into mammalian cells via conventional techniques such as
calcium phosphate or calcium chloride co-precipitation, DEAE-dextran-mediated
transfection, or electroporation. Suitable methods for transforming host cells
can be
found in Sambrook et al. (Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Edition,
Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory press ( 1989)), and other laboratory textbooks.
Expression in procaryotes is most often carried out in E. coli with either
fusion
or non-fusion inducible expression vectors. Fusion vectors usually add a
number of
NH2 terminal amino acids to the expressed target gene. These NH2 terminal
amino
acids often are referred to as a reporter group. Such reporter groups usually
serve two
purposes: 1 ) to increase the solubility of the target recombinant protein;
and 2) to aid in
- the parification of the target recombinant protein by acting as a ligand in
affinity
purification. Often, in fusion expression vectors, a proteolytic cleavage site
is
introduced at the junction of the reporter group and the target recombinant
protein to
- enable separation of the target recombinant protein from the reporter group
subsequent
to purification of the fusion protein. Such enzymes, and their cognate
recognition
sequences, include Factor Xa, thrombin and enterokinase. Typical fusion
expression
vectors include pGEX (Amrad Corp., Melbourne, Australia), pMAL (New England

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCTJUS97/22104
- 43 -
Biolabs, Beverly, MA) and pRITS (Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ) which fuse
glutathione
S-transferase, maltose E binding piotein, or protein A, respectively, to the
target
recombinant protein. A preferred reporter group is poly(His), which may be
fused to the
amino or carboxy terminus of the protein and which renders the recombinant
fusion
protein easily purifiable by metal chelate chromatography.
Inducible non-fusion expression vectors include pTrc (Amann et al., (1988)
Gene
69:301-31 S) arid pET 1 I d (Studier et al., Gene Expression Technolo~w
Methods in
Enzymology 185, Academic Press, San Diego, California (1990) 60-89). While
target
gene expression relies on host RNA polymerase transcription from the hybrid
trp-lac
fusion promoter in pTrc, expression of target genes inserted into pETl 1 d
relies on
transcription from the T7 gn 10-lac 0 fusion promoter mediated by coexpressed
viral
RNA polymerase (T7 gnl). This viral polymerase is supplied by host strains
BL21 (DE3) or HMS 174(DE3) from a resident ~, prophage harboring a T7 gn 1
under the
transcriptional control of the IacUV 5 promoter.
1 S For example, a host cell transfected with a nucleic acid vector directing
expression of a nucleotide sequence encoding an H. pylori polypeptide can be
cultured
under appropriate conditions to allow expression of the polypeptide to occur.
The
polypeptide may be secreted and isolated from a mixture of cells and medium
containing
the peptide. Alternatively, the polypeptide may be retained cytoplasmically
and the cells
harvested, lysed and the protein isolated. A cell culture includes host cells,
media and
other byproducts. Suitable media for cell culture are well known in the art.
Polypeptides of the invention can be isolated from cell culture medium, host
cells, or
both using techniques known in the art for purifying proteins including ion-
exchange
chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, ultrafiltration,
electrophoresis, and
immunoaffinity purification with antibodies specific for such polypeptides.
Additionally, in many situations, polypeptides can be produced by chemical
cleavage of
a native protein (e.g., tryptic digestion) and the cleavage products can then
be purified
by standard techniques. _
In the case of membrane bound proteins, these can be isolated from a host cell
by
contacting a membrane-associated protein fraction with a detergent forming a
solubilized complex, where the membrane-associated protein is no longer
entirely
embedded in the membrane fraction and is solubilized at least to an extent
which allows
it to be chromatographically isolated from the membrane fraction. Several
different
criteria are used for choosing a detergent suitable for solubilizing these
complexes. For
example, one property considered is the ability of the detergent to solubilize
the H.
pylori protein within the membrane fraction at minimal denaturation of the
membrane-
associated protein allowing for the activity or functionality of the membrane-
associated

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-44-
protein to return upon reconstitution of the protein. Another property
considered when
selecting the detergent is the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the
detergent in
that the detergent of choice preferably has a high CMC value allowing for ease
of
removal after reconstitution. A third property considered when selecting a
detergent is
the hydrophobicity of the detergent. Typically, membrane-associated proteins
are very
hydrophobic and therefore detergents which are also hydrophobic, e.g., the
triton series,
would be useful for solubilizing the hydrophobic proteins. Another property
important
to a detergent can be the capability of the detergent to remove the H. pylori
protein with
minimal protein-protein interaction facilitating further purification. A fifth
property of
the detergent which should be considered is the charge of the detergent. For
example, if
it is desired to use ion exchange resins in the purification process then
preferably
detergent should be an uncharged detergent. Chromatographic techniques which
can be
used in the final purification step are known in the art and include
hydrophobic
interaction, lectin affinity, ion exchange, dye affinity and immunoaffinity.
1 S One strategy to maximize recombinant H. pylori peptide expression in E.
coli is
to express the protein in a host bacteria with an impaired capacity to
proteolytically
cleave the recombinant protein (Gottesman, S., Gene Expression Technolow
Methods
in Enz~ogy_ I 85, Academic Press, San Diego, California (1990) 119-128).
Another
strategy would be to alter the nucleic acid encoding an H. pylori peptide to
be inserted
into an expression vector so that the individual codons for each amino acid
would be
those preferentially utilized in highly expressed E. coli proteins (Wada et
al., ( 1992)
Nuc. Acids Res. 20:2111-2118). Such alteration of nucleic acids of the
invention can be
carried out by standard DNA synthesis techniques.
The nucleic acids of the invention can also be chemically synthesized using
standard techniques. Various methods of chemically synthesizing
polydeoxynucleotides
are known, including solid-phase synthesis which, like peptide synthesis, has
been fully
automated in commercially available DNA synthesizers (See, e.g., Itakura et
al. U.S.
Patent No. 4,598,049; Caruthers et al. U.S. Patent No. 4,458,066; and Itakura
U.S.
Patent Nos. 4,401,796 and 4,373,071, incorporated by reference herein).
III. H. pylori Polypeptides
This invention encompasses isolated H. pylori polypeptides encoded by the
disclosed H. pylori genomic sequences, including the polypeptides of the
invention
contained in the Sequence Listing. Polypeptides of the invention are
preferably at least
5 amino acid residues in length. Using the DNA sequence information provided
herein,
the amino acid sequences of the polypeptides encompassed by the invention can
be
deduced using methods well-known in the art. It will be understood that the
sequence of

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-45-
an entire nucleic acid encoding an H. pylori polypeptide can be isolated and
identified
based on an ORF that encodes only a fragment of the cognate protein-coding
region.
This can be acheived, for example, by using the isolated nucleic acid encoding
the ORF,
or fragments thereof, to prime a polymerise chain reaction with genomic H.
pylori DNA
as template; this is followed by sequencing the amplified product.
The polypeptides of the invention can be isolated from wild-type or mutant H.
pylori cells or from heterologous organisms or cells (including, but not
limited to,
bacteria, yeast, insect, plant and mammalian cells) into which an H. pylori
nucleic acid
has been introduced and expressed. In addition, the polypeptides can be part
of
recombinant fusion proteins.
H. pylori polypeptides of the invention can be chemically synthesized using
commercially automated procedures such as those referenced herein.
H. pylori polypeptides of the invention are also intended to include chimeric
proteins and truncated proteins as decribed herein.
Chimeric H. pylori proteins
H. pylori chimeric polypeptides comprise one or more H. pylori polypeptides
fused together. These combined sequences can be made by combining two or more
genes, or two or more polypeptide encoding sequences, or at least one gene and
at least
one polypeptide encoding sequence in tandem, and the subsequent expression of
the
encoded proteins by conventional molecular biological techniques. The combined
nucleotide sequences may be composed of a combination of either full length H.
pylori
nucleotide sequences or fragments of such sequences, e.g., fragments which
contain
immunoIogically relevant portions of the encoded H. pylori protein. These
chimeric H.
pylori proteins then contain the combined or synergistic vaccine potential of
each
individual H. pylori protein sequence and can be used in vaccine formulations
of the
invention.
Truncated~ene expression and,proteinproduction
H. pylori proteins encoded by a given nucleotide sequence can also be used in
a
biologically active truncat ~d form. Such truncation can be produced, for
example, by
the elimination of either 5' and/or 3' regions of the encoding nucleotide
sequence.
These truncations can affect recombinant expression of the encoded protein
and/or
subsequent purification of the protein. For example, truncation of a
nucleotide sequence
encoding a predicted export sequence of a specific protein may alter
expression of the
protein. Alternatively, C-terminal truncation of an H. pylori polypeptide by
elimination
of the 3' end of the nucleic acid coding region may also improve protein
expression and

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97I22104
-46-
subsequent purification and use, as is outlined in Example VIII below.
Deletion of
nucleic acid regions encoding internal H. pylori protein regions can also
result in
improved protein expression, purification and/or efficacy as a vaccine
candidate.
IV. Identification of Nucleic Acids Encoding Vaccine Components and Tar etg s
for
Agents Effective Against H. pylori
The disclosed H. pylori genome sequence includes segments that direct the
synthesis of ribonucleic acids and polypeptides, as well as origins of
replication,
promoters, other types of regulatory sequences, and intergenic nucleic acids.
The
invention encompasses nucleic acids encoding immunogenic components of
vaccines
and targets for agents effective against H. pylori. Identification of said
immunogenic
components involved in the determination of the function of the disclosed
sequences can
be achieved using a variety of approaches. Non-limiting examples of these
approaches
are described briefly below.
Homologyy to known sequences: Computer-assisted comparison of the disclosed
H. pylori sequences with previously reported sequences present in publicly
available
databases is useful for identifying functional H. pylori nucleic acid and
polypeptide
sequences. It will be understood that protein-coding sequences, for example,
may be
compared as a whole, and that a high degree of sequence homology between two
proteins (such as, for example, >80-90%) at the amino acid level indicates
that the two
proteins also possess some degree of functional homology, such as, for
example, among
enzymes involved in metabolism, DNA synthesis, or cell wall synthesis, and
proteins
involved in transport, cell division, etc. In addition, many structural
features of
particular protein classes have been identified and correlate with specific
consensus
sequences, such as, for example, binding domains for nucleotides, DNA, metal
ions, and
other small molecules; sites for covalent modifications such as
phosphorylation,
acylation, and the like; sites of protein:protein interactions, etc. These
consensus
sequences may be quite short and thus may represent only a fraction of the
entire
protein-coding sequence. Identification of such a feature in an H. pylori
sequence is
therefore useful in determining the function of the encoded protein and
identifying
useful targets of antibacterial drugs.
Of particular relevance to the present invention are structural features that
are
common to secretory, transmembrane, and surface proteins, including secretion
signal
peptides and hydrophobic transmembrane domains. H. pylori proteins identified
as
containing putative signal sequences and/or transmembrane domains are useful
as
immunogenic components of vaccines.

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98124475 PCT/ITS97/22104
-47-
Identification of essential eg nes: Nucleic acids that encode proteins
essential for
growth or viability of H. pylori are preferred drug targets. H. pylori genes
can be tested
for their biological relevance to the organism by examining the effect of
deleting and/or
disrupting the genes, i.e., by so-called gene "knockout", using techniques
known to
those skilled in the relevant art. In this manner, essential genes may be
identified.
Strain-specific sequences: Because of the evolutionary relationship between
different H. pylori strains, it is believed that the presently disclosed H.
pylori sequences
are useful for identifying, and/or discriminating between, previously known
and new H.
pylori strains. It is believed that other H. pylori strains will exhibit at
least 70%
sequence homology with the presently disclosed sequence. Systematic and
routine
analyses of DNA sequences derived from samples containing H. pylori strains,
and
comparison with the present sequence allows for the identification of
sequences that can
be used to discriminate between strains, as well as those that are common to
all H. pylori
strains. In one embodiment, the invention provides nucleic acids, including
probes, and
peptide and polypeptide sequences that discriminate between different strains
of H.
pylori. Strain-specific components can also be identified functionally by
their ability to
elicit or react with antibodies that selectively recognize one or more H.
pylori strains.
In another embodiment, the invention provides nucleic acids, including probes,
and peptide and polypeptide sequences that are common to all H. pylori strains
but are
not found in other bacterial species.
Specific Example: Determination Of Candidate Protein Antigens For Antibod~nd
Vaccine Development
The selection of candidate protein antigens for vaccine development can be
derived from the nucleic acids encoding H. pylori polypeptides. First, the
ORF's can be
analyzed for homology to other known exported or membrane proteins and
analyzed
using the discriminant analysis described by Klein, et al. (Klein, P.,
Kanehsia, M., and
DeLisi, C. ( 1985) Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 815, 468-476) for predicting
exported
and membrane proteins.
- 30 Homology searches can be performed using the BLAST algorithm contained in
the Wisconsin Sequence Analysis Package (Genetics Computer Group, Unweaity
Research Park, 575 Science Drive, Madison, WI 53711 ) to compare each
predicted ORF
amino acid sequence with all sequences found in the current GenBank, SWISS-
PROT
and PIR databases. BLAST searches for local alignments between the ORF and the
databank sequences and reports a probability score which indicates the
probability of
finding this sequence by chance in the database. ORF's with significant
homology (e.g.
probabilities lower than 1 x 10-6 that the homology is only due to random
chance) to

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-48-
membrane or exported proteins represent protein antigens for vaccine
development.
Possible functions can be provided to H. pylori genes based on sequence
homology to
genes cloned in other organisms.
Discriminant analysis (Klein, et al. supra) can be used to examine the ORF
amino acid sequences. This algorithm uses the intrinsic information contained
in the
ORF amino acid sequence and compares it to information derived from the
properties of
known membrane and exported proteins. This comparison predicts which proteins
will
be exported, membrane associated or cytoplasmic. ORF amino acid sequences
identified as exported or membrane associated by this algorithm are likely
protein
antigens for vaccine development.
Surface exposed outer membrane proteins are likely to represent the best
antigens to provide a protective immune response against H. pylori. Among the
algorithms that can be used to aid in prediction of these outer membrane
proteins include
the presence of an amphipathic beta-sheet region at their C-terminus. This
region which
has been detected in a large number of outer membrane proteins in Gram
negative
bacteria is often characterized by hydrophobic residues (Phe or Tyr)
approximately at
positions 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 from the C-terminus (e.g., see Figure 1, block F).
Importantly,
these sequences have not been detected at the C-termini of periplasmic
proteins, thus
allowing preliminary distinction between these classes of proteins based on
primary
sequence data. This phenomenon has been reported previously by Struyve et al.
(J. Mol.
Biol. 218:141-148, 1991 ).
Also illustrated in Figure 1 are additional amino acid sequence motifs found
in
many outer membrane proteins of H. pylori. The amino acid sequence alignment
in
Figure 1 depicts portions of the sequence of five H. pylori proteins (depicted
in the
single letter amino acid code) labeled with their amino acid Sequence ID
Numbers and
shown N-terminal to C-terminal, left to right. Six distinct blocks (labeled A
through F)
of similar amino acid residues are found including the distinctive hydrophobic
residues
(Phe or Tyr; F or Y according to the single letter code for amino acid
residues)
frequently found at positions near the C-terminus of outer membrane proteins.
The
presence of several shared motifs clearly establishes the similarity between
members of
this group of proteins.
In addition, outer membrane proteins isolated from H. pylori frequently share
a
motif near the mature N-terminus (i.e., after processing to remove the
secretion signal)
as illustrated in the blocked amino acid residues in Figure 2. Figure 2
depicts the N-
terminal portion of three H. pylori proteins (designated by their amino acid
Sequence ID
Numbers and shown N-terminal to C-terminal, left to right).

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-49-
One skilled in the art would know that these shared sequence motifs are highly
significant and establish a similarity among this group of proteins.
Infrequently it is not possible to distinguish between multiple possible
nucleotides at a given position in the nucleic acid sequence. In those cases
the
ambiguities are denoted by an extended alphabet as follows:
These are the official IUPAC-IUB single-letter base codes
Code Base Description
G Guanine
A Adenine
T Thymine
C Cytosine
R Purine (A or G)
Y Pyrimidine (C or T or
U)
M Amino (A or C)
K Ketone (G or T)
S Strong interaction (C or G)
W Weak interaction (A or T)
H Not-G (A or C or
T)
B Not-A (C or G or
T)
V Not-T (not-U) (A or C or
G)
D Not-C (A or G or
T)
N Any (A or C or
G or T)
The amino acid translations of this invention account for the ambiguity in the
nucleic acid sequence by translating the ambiguous codon as the letter "X". In
all cases,
the permissible amino acid residues at a position are clear from an
examination of the
nucleic acid sequence based on the standard genetic code.
V. Production of Fragments and Analo, s~pylori Nucleic Acids and Polypeptides
1 S Based or the discovery of the H. pylori gene products of the invention
provided
in the Sequence Lsiting, one skilled in the art can alter the disclosed
structure (of H.
pylori genes), e.g., by producing fragments or analogs, and test the newly
produced
structures for activity. Examples of techniques known to those skilled in the
relevant art
which allow the production and testing of fragments and analogs are discussed
below.
These, or analogous methods can be used to make and screen libraries of
polypeptides,

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-Sa-
e.g., libraries of random peptides or libraries of fragments or analogs of
cellular proteins
for the ability to bind H. pylori polypeptides. Such screens are useful for
the
identification of inhibitors of H. pylori.
Generation of Fragments
Fragments of a protein can be produced in several ways, e.g., recombinantly,
by
proteolytic digestion, or by chemical synthesis. Internal or terminal
fragments of a
polypeptide can be generated by removing one or more nucleotides from one end
(for a
terminal fragment) or both ends (for an internal fragment) of a nucleic acid
which
encodes the polypeptide. Expression of the mutagenized DNA produces
polypeptide
fragments. Digestion with"end-nibbling" endonucleases can thus generate DNA's
which encode an array of fragments. DNA's which encode fragments of a protein
can
also be generated by random shearing, restriction digestion or a combination
of the
above-discussed methods.
Fragments can also be chemically synthesized using techniques known in the art
such as conventional Merrifield solid phase f Moc or t-Boc chemistry. For
example,
peptides of the present invention may be arbitrarily divided into fragments of
desired
length with no overlap of the fragments, or divided into overlapping fragments
of a
desired length.
Alteration of Nucleic Acids and Polvpeptides: Random Methods
Amino acid sequence variants of a protein can be prepared by random
mutagenesis of DNA which encodes a protein or a particular domain or region of
a
protein. Useful methods include PCR mutagenesis and saturation mutagenesis. A
library of random amino acid sequence variants can also be generated by the
synthesis of
a set of degenerate oligonucleotide sequences. (Methods for screening proteins
in a
library of variants are elsewhere herein).
(Al PCR Muta~enesis
-- 30 In PCR mutagenesis, reduced Taq polymerase fidelity is used to introduce
random mutations into a cloned fragment of DNA (Leung et aL, 1989, Technique I
: I 1-
1 S). The DNA region to be mutagenized is amplified using the polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) under conditions that reduce the fidelity of DNA synthesis by
Taq DNA
polymerase, e.g., by using a dGTP/dATP ratio of five and adding Mn2+ to the
PCR
reaction. The pool of amplified DNA fragments are inserted into appropriate
cloning
vectors to provide random mutant libraries.

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-51 -
~B) Saturation Mutaeenesis
Saturation mutagenesis allows for the rapid introduction of a large number of
single base substitutions into cloned DNA fragments (Mayers et al., 1985,
Science
229:242). This technique includes generation of mutations, e.g., by chemical
treatment
or irradiation of single-stranded DNA in vitro, and synthesis of a
complimentary DNA
strand. The mutation frequency can be modulated by modulating the severity of
the
treatment, and essentially all possible base substitutions can be obtained.
Because this
procedure does not involve a genetic selection for mutant fragments both
neutral
substitutions, as well as those that alter function, are obtained. The
distribution of point
mutations is not biased toward conserved sequence elements.
~C) De;generate Oli~onucleotides
A library of homologs can also be generated from a set of degenerate
oligonucleotide sequences. Chemical synthesis of a degenerate sequences can be
carried
out in an automatic DNA synthesizer, and the synthetic genes then ligated into
an
appropriate expression vector. The synthesis of degenerate oligonucleotides is
known in
the art (see for example, Narang, SA ( I 983) Tetrahedron 39:3; Itakura et al.
( I 981 )
Recombinant DNA, Proc 3rd Cleveland Sympos. Macromolecules, ed. AG Walton,
Amsterdam: Elsevier pp273-289; Itakura et al. (1984) Anhu. Rev. Biochem.
53:323;
Itakura et al. (1984) Science 198:1056; Ike et al. (1983) Nucleic Acid Res. I
1:477. Such
techniques have been employed in the directed evolution of other proteins
(see, for
example. Scott et al. ( 1990) Science 249:386-390; Roberts et al. ( 1992) PNAS
89:2429-
2433; Devlin et al. (1990) Science 249: 404-406; Cwirla et al. (1990) PNAS 87:
6378-
6382; as well as U.S. Patents Nos. 5,223,409, 5,198,346, and 5,096,815).
Alteration of Nucleic Acids and Polvpeptides~ Methods for Directed Muta enesis
Non-random or directed, mutagenesis techniques can be used to provide specific
sequences or mutations in specific regions. These techniques can be used to
create
variants which include, e.g., deletions, insertions, or substitutions, of
residues of the
known amino acid sequence of a protein. The sites for mutation can be modified
w individually or in series, e.g., by ( 1 ) substituting first with conserved
amino acids and
then with more radical choices depending upon results achieved, (2) deleting
the target
residue, or (3) inserting residues of the same or a different class adjacent
to the located
- site, or combinations of options 1-3.

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/Z2104
-52-
(Al Alanine Scanning Muta~ enesis
Alanine scanning mutagenesis is a useful method for identification of certain
residues or regions of the desired protein that are preferred locations or
domains for
mutagenesis, Cunningham and Wells (Science 244:1081-1085, 1989). In alanine
S scanning, a residue or group of target residues are identified (e.g.,
charged residues such
as Arg, Asp, His, Lys, and Glu) and replaced by a neutral or negatively
charged amino
acid (most preferably alanine or polyalanine). Replacement of an amino acid
can affect
the interaction of the amino acids yvith the surrounding aqueous environment
in or
outside the cell. Those domains demonstrating functional sensitivity to the
substitutions
are then refined by introducing further or other variants at or for the sites
of substitution.
Thus, while the site for introducing an amino acid sequence variation is
predetermined,
the nature of the mutation per se need not be predetermined. For example, to
optimize
the performance of a mutation at a given site, alanine scanning or random
mutagenesis
may be conducted at the target codon or region and the expressed desired
protein subunit
variants are screened for the optimal combination of desired activity.
(B) Oligonucleotide-Mediated Muta enesis
Oligonucleotide-mediated mutagenesis is a useful method for preparing
substitution, deletion, and insertion variants of-DNA, see, e.g., Adelman et
al., (DNA
2:183, 1983). Briefly, the desired DNA is altered by hybridizing an
oligonucleotide
encoding a mutation to a DNA template, where the template is the single-
stranded form
of a plasmid or bacteriophage containing the unaltered or native DNA sequence
of the
desired protein. After hybridization, a DNA polymerase is used to synthesize
an entire
second complementary strand of the template that will thus incorporate the
oligonucleotide primer, and will code for the selected alteration in the
desired protein
DNA. Generally, oligonucleotides of at least 25 nucleotides in length are
used. An
optimal oligonucleotide will have 12 to 15 nucleotides that are completely
complementary to the template on either side of the nucleotides) coding for
the
mutation. This ensures that the oligonucleotide will hybridize properly to the
single-
stranded DNA template molecule. The oligonucleotides are readily synthesized
using
techniques known in the art such a~ th at described by Crea et al. (Proc.
Natl. Acad Sci.
USA, 75: 5765 [ 1978]).
(C) Cassette Mut~enesis
Another method for preparing variants, cassette mutagenesis, is based on the
technique described by Wells et al. (Gene, 34:315[1985)). The starting
material is a
plasmid (or other vector) which includes the protein subunit DNA to be
mutated. The

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-53-
codon(s) in the protein subunit DNA to be mutated are identified. There must
be a
unique restriction endonuclease site on each side of the identified mutation
site(s). If no
such restriction sites exist, they may be generated using the above-described
oligonucleotide-mediated mutagenesis method to introduce them at appropriate
locations
in the desired protein subunit DNA. After the restriction sites have been
introduced into
the plasmid, the plasmid is cut at these sites to linearize it. A double-
stranded
oligonucleotide encoding the sequence of the DNA between the restriction sites
but
containing the desired mutations) is synthesized using standard procedures.
The two
strands are synthesized separately and then hybridized together using standard
techniques. This double-stranded oligonucleotide is referred to as the
cassette. This
cassette is designed to have 3' and S' ends that are comparable with the ends
of the
linearized plasmid, such that it can be directly ligated to the plasmid. This
plasmid now
contains the mutated desired protein subunit DNA sequence.
~D) Combinatorial Muta eg nesis
Combinatorial mutagenesis can also be used to generate mutants (Ladner et al.,
WO 88/06630). In this method, the amino acid sequences for a group of homologs
or
other related proteins are aligned, preferably to promote the highest homology
possible.
All of the amino acids which appear at a given position of the aligned
sequences can be
selected to create a degenerate set of combinatorial sequences. The variegated
library of
variants is generated by combinatorial mutagenesis at the nucleic acid level,
and is
encoded by a variegated gene library. For example, a mixture of synthetic
oligonucleotides can be enzymatically ligated into gene sequences such that
the
degenerate set of potential sequences are expressible as individual peptides,
or
alternatively, as a set of larger fusion proteins containing the set of
degenerate
sequences.
Other Modifications of Hwlori Nucleic Acids and Polypeptides
It is possible to modify the structure of an H. pylori polypeptide for such
purposes as increasing solubility, enhancing stability (e.g., shelf life ex
vivo and
resi~tar ce to proteolytic degradation in vivo). A modified H. pylori protein
or peptide
can be produced in which the amino acid sequence has been altered, such as by
amino
acid substitution, deletion, or addition as described herein.
An H. pylori peptide can also be modified by substitution of cysteine residues
preferably with alanine, serine, threonine, leucine or glutarnic acid residues
to minimize
dimerization via disulfide linkages. In addition, amino acid side chains of
fragments of

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-54-
the protein of the invention can be chemically modified. Another modification
is
cyclization of the peptide.
In order to enhance stability and/or reactivity, an N. pylori polypeptide can
be
modified to incorporate one or more polymorphisms in the amino acid sequence
of the
protein resulting from any natural allelic variation. Additionally, D-amino
acids, non-
natural amino acids, or non-amino acid analogs can be substituted or added to
produce a
modified protein within the scope of this invention. Furthermore, an H. pylori
polypeptide can be modified using polyethylene glycol (PEG) according to the
method
of A. Sehon and co-workers (Wie et al., supra) to produce a protein conjugated
with
PEG. In addition, PEG can be added during chemical synthesis of the protein.
Other
modifications of H. pylori proteins include reduction/alkyIation (Tarr,
Methods of
Protein Microcharacterization, J. E. Silver ed., Humana Press, Clifton NJ 155-
194
( 1986)); acylation (Tarr, supra); chemical coupling to an appropriate carrier
(Mishell and
Shiigi, eds, Selected Methods in Cellular Immunology, WH Freeman, San
Francisco, CA
1 S ( 1980), U.S. Patent 4,939,239; or mild formalin treatment (Marsh, ( 1971
) Int. Arch. of
Allergy and Appl. Immunol., 41: 199 - 215).
To facilitate purification and potentially increase solubility of an H. pylori
protein or peptide, it is possible to add an amino acid fusion moiety to the
peptide
backbone. For example, hexa-histidine can be added to the protein for
purification by
immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (Hochuli, E. et al., ( 1988)
BiolTechnology, 6: 1321 - 1325). In addition, to facilitate isolation of
peptides free of
irrelevant sequences, specific endoprotease cleavage sites can be introduced
between the
sequences of the fusion moiety and the peptide.
To potentially aid proper antigen processing of epitopes within an H. pylori
polypeptide, canonical protease sensitive sites can be engineered between
regions, each
comprising at least one epitope via recombinant or synthetic methods. For
example,
charged amino acid pairs, such as KK or RR, can be introduced between regions
within
a protein or fragment during recombinant construction thereof. The resulting
peptide
can be rendered sensitive to cleavage by cathepsin andlor other trypsin-like
enzymes
which would generate portions of the protein containing one or more epitopes.
In
addition, such charged amino acid residues can result in an increase in the
solubility of
the peptide.
- Primary Methods for Screenin~L Polyneptides and Analogs
Various techniques are known in the art for screening generated mutant gene
products. Techniques for screening large gene libraries often include cloning
the gene
library into replicable expression vectors, transforming appropriate cells
with the

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-55-
resulting library of vectors, and expressing the genes under conditions in
which
detection of a desired activity, e.g:; in this case, binding to H. pylori
polypeptide or an
interacting protein, facilitates relatively easy isolation of the vector
encoding the gene
whose product was detected. Each of the techniques described below is amenable
to
high through-put analysis for screening large numbers of sequences created,
e.g., by
random mutagenesis techniques.
(A) Two Hybrid Systems
Two hybrid assays such as the system described above (as with the other
screening methods described herein), can be used to identify polypeptides,
e.g.,
fragments or analogs of a naturally-occurring H. pylori polypeptide, e.g., of
cellular
proteins, or of randomly generated polypeptides which bind to an H. pylori
protein.
(The H. pylori domain is used as the bait protein and the library of variants
are expressed
as fish fusion proteins.) In an analogous fashion, a two hybrid assay (as with
the other
screening methods described herein), can be used to find polypeptides which
bind a H.
pylori polypeptide.
(B) Display Libraries
In one approach to screening assays, the candidate peptides are displayed on
the
surface of a cell or viral particle, and the ability of particular cells or
viral particles to
bind an appropriate receptor protein via the displayed product is detected in
a "panning
assay". For example, the gene library can be cloned into the gene for a
surface
membrane protein of a bacterial cell, and the resulting fusion protein
detected by
panning (Ladner et al., WO 88/06630; Fuchs et al. ( 1991 ) BiolTechnology
9:1370-1371;
and Goward et al. (1992) ?'IBS 18:136-140). In a similar fashion, a detectably
labeled
ligand can be used to score for potentially functional peptide homologs.
Fluorescently
labeled ligands, e.g., receptors, can be used to detect homologs which retain
ligand-
binding activity. The use of fluorescently labeled ligands, allows cells to be
visually
inspected and separated under a fluorescence microscope, or, where the
morphology of
the cell permits, to be separated by a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. .
A gene library can be expressed as a fusion prote~n r n the surface of a viral
particle. For instance, in the filamentous phage system, foreign peptide
sequences can
be expressed on the surface of infectious phage, thereby conferring two
significant
benefits. First, since these phage can be applied to affinity matrices at
concentrations
3 S well over 1 O 13 phage per milliliter, a large number of phage can be
screened at one time.
Second, since each infectious phage displays a gene product on its surface, if
a particular
phage is recovered from an affinity matrix in low yield, the phage can be
amplified by

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-56-
another round of infection. The group of almost identical E. toll filamentous
phages
M 13, fd., and fl are most often used in phage display libraries. Either of
the phage gIII
or gVIII coat proteins can be used to generate fusion proteins without
disrupting the
ultimate packaging of the viral particle. Foreign epitopes can be expressed at
the NH2-
terminal end of pIII and phage bearing such epitopes recovered from a large
excess of
phage lacking this epitope (Ladner et al. PCT publication WO 90/02909; Garrard
et al.,
PCT publication WO 92/09690; Marks et al. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267:16007-
16010;
Griffiths et al. ( 1993) EMBO J 12:725-734; Clackson et al. ( I99I ) Nature
352:624-628;
and Barbas et al. (1992) PNAS 89:4457-4461). -
IO A common approach uses the maltose receptor of E. toll (the outer membrane
protein, Lama) as a peptide fusion partner (Charbit et al. (1986) EMBO 5, 3029-
3037).
Oligonucleotides have been inserted into plasmids encoding the Lama gene to
produce
peptides fused into one of the extracellular loops of the protein. These
peptides are
available for binding to ligands, e.g., to antibodies, and can elicit an
immune response
when the cells are administered to animals. Other cell surface proteins, e.g.,
OmpA
(Schorr et al. (1991) Vaccines 91, pp. 387-392), PhoE (Agterberg, et aI.
(1990) Gene 88,
37-45), and PAL (Fuchs et al. (1991) BiolTech 9, 1369-1372), as well as large
bacterial
surface structures have served as vehicles for peptide display. Peptides can
be fused to
pilin, a protein which polymerizes to form the pilus-a conduit for
interbacterial exchange
of genetic information (Thiry et al. (1989) Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 55, 984-
993).
Because of its role in interacting with other cells, the pilus provides a
useful support for
the presentation of peptides to the extracellular environment. Another large
surface
structure used for peptide display is the bacterial motive organ, the
flagellum. Fusion of
peptides to the subunit protein flagellin offers a dense array of many peptide
copies on
the host cells (Kuwajima et al. (1988) BiolTech. 6, 1080-1083). Surface
proteins of
other bacterial species have also served as peptide fusion partners. Examples
include the
Staphylococcus protein A and the outer membrane IgA protease of Neisseria
(Hansson
et al. ( 1992) J. Bacteriol. 174, 423 9-4245 and Klauser et al. ( 1990) EMBD
J. 9, 1991-
1999).
-- 30 In the filamentous phage systems and the Lama system described above,
the
physical link between the per fide and its encoding DNA occurs by the
containment of
the DNA within a particle (cell or phage) that carries the peptide on its
surface.
Capturing the peptide captures the particle and the DNA within. An alternative
scheme
uses the DNA-binding protein LacI to form a link between peptide and DNA (Cull
et al.
3 S ( 1992) PNAS USA 89:1865-1869). This system uses a plasmid containing the
LacI gene
with an oligonucleotide cloning site at its 3'-end. Under the controlled
induction by
arabinose, a LacI-peptide fusion protein is produced. This fusion retains the
natural
_ -.~..r.._.~__.~_

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98124475 PCT/L1S97/22104
-57-
ability of LacI to bind to a short DNA sequence known as LacO operator (LacO).
By
installing two copies of LacO on the expression plasmid, the LacI-peptide
fusion binds
tightly to the plasmid that encoded it. Because the plasmids in each cell
contain only a
single oligonucleotide sequence and each cell expresses only a single peptide
sequence,
the peptides become specifically and stably associated with the DNA sequence
that
directed its synthesis. The cells of the library are gently lysed and the
peptide-DNA
complexes are exposed to a matrix of immobilized receptor to recover the
complexes
containing active peptides. The associated plasmid DNA is then reintroduced
into cells
for amplification and DNA sequencing to determine the identity of the peptide
ligands.
As a demonstration of the practical utility of the method, a large random
library of
dodecapeptides was made and selected on a monoclonal antibody raised against
the
opioid peptide dynorphin B. A cohort of peptides was recovered, all related by
a
consensus sequence corresponding to a six-residue portion of dynorphin B.
(Cull et al.
(1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89-1869)
This scheme, sometimes referred to as peptides-on-plasmids, differs in two
important ways from the phage display methods. First, the peptides are
attached to the
C-terminus of the fusion protein, resulting in the display of the library
members as
peptides having free carboxy termini. Both of the filamentous phage coat
proteins, pIII
and pVIII, are anchored to the phage through their C-termini, and the guest
peptides are
placed into the outward-extending N-terminal domains. In some designs, the
phage-
displayed peptides are presented right at the amino terminus of the fusion
protein.
(Cwirla, et al. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87, 6378-6382) A second
difference
is the set of biological biases affecting the population of peptides actually
present in the
libraries. The LacI fusion molecules are confined to the cytoplasm of the host
cells.
The phage coat fusions are exposed briefly to the cytoplasm during translation
but are
rapidly secreted through the inner membrane into the periplasmic compartment,
remaining anchored in the membrane by their C-terminal hydrophobic domains,
with the
N-termini, containing the peptides, protruding into the periplasm while
awaiting
assembly into phage particles. The peptides in the LacI and phage libraries
may differ
significantly as a result of their exposure to different proteolytic
activities. The phage
coat proteins require transport across the inner membrane and signal peptidase
processing as a prelude to incorporation into phage. Certain peptides exert a
deleterious
effect on these processes and are underrepresented in the libraries (Gallop et
al. ( 1994) J.
Med. Chem. 37(9):1233-1251). These particular biases are not a factor in the
LacI
display system.
The number of small peptides available in recombinant random libraries is
enormous. Libraries of 107-109 independent clones are routinely prepared.
Libraries as

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCTIUS97/22104
-58-
large as 1011 recombinants have been created, but this size approaches the
practical
limit for clone libraries. This limitation in library size occurs at the step
of transforming
the DNA containing randomized segments into the host bacterial cells. To
circumvent
this limitation, an in vitro system based on the display of nascent peptides
in polysome
complexes has recently been developed. This display library method has the
potential of
producing libraries 3-6 orders of magnitude larger than the currently
available
phage/phagemid or plasmid libraries. Furthermore, the construction of the
libraries,
expression of the peptides, and screening, is done in an entirely cell-free
format.
In one application of this method (Gallop et al. ( 1994) J. Med. Chem.
37(9):1233-1251 ), a molecular DNA library encoding 1012 decapeptides was
constructed and the library expressed in an E. coli S30 in vitro coupled
transcription/translation system. Conditions were chosen to stall the
ribosomes on the
mRNA, causing the accumulation of a substantial proportion of the RNA in
polysomes
and yielding complexes containing nascent peptides still linked to their
encoding RNA.
The polysomes are sufficiently robust to be affinity purified on immobilized
receptors in
much the same way as the more conventional recombinant peptide display
libraries are
screened. RNA from the bound complexes is recovered, converted to cDNA, and
amplified by PCR to produce a template for the next round of synthesis and
screening.
The polysome display method can be coupled to the phage display system.
Following
several rounds of screening, cDNA from the enriched pool of polysomes was
cloned into
a phagemid vector. This vector serves as both a peptide expression vector,
displaying
peptides fused to the coat proteins, and as a DNA sequencing vector for
peptide
identification. By expressing the polysome-derived peptides on phage, one can
either
continue the affinity selection procedure in this format or assay the peptides
on
individual clones for binding activity in a phage ELISA, or for binding specif
city in a
completion phage ELISA (Barret, et al. (1992) Anal. Biochem 204,357-364). To
identify the sequences of the active peptides one sequences the DNA produced
by the
phagemid host.
Secondary Screenin of Polype~tides and Analogs
The high through-put assays described above can be followed by secondar r
screens in order to identify further biological activities which will, e.g.,
allow one skilled
in the art to differentiate agonists from antagonists. The type of a secondary
screen used
will depend on the desired activity that needs to be tested. For example, an
assay can be
developed in which the ability to inhibit an interaction between a protein of
interest and
its respective ligand can be used to identify antagonists from a group of
peptide
fragments isolated though one of the primary screens described above.
.T. .__. ... . ...

-59-
Therefore, methods for generating fragments and analogs and testing them for
activity are known in the art. Once the core sequence of interest is
identified, it is
routine for one skilled in the art to obtain analogs and fragments.
Peptide Mimetics of H. pylori Polypeptides
The invention also provides for reduction of the protein binding domains of
the
subject H. pylori polypeptides to generate mimetics, e.g. peptide or non-
peptide agents.
The peptide mimetics are able to disrupt binding of a polypeptide to its
counter ligand,
e.g., in the case of an H. pylori polypeptide binding to a naturally occurring
ligand. The
critical residues of a subject H. pylori polypeptide which are involved in
molecular
recognition of a polypeptide can be determined and used to generate H. pylori-
derived
peptidomimetics which competitively or noncompetitively inhibit binding of the
H.
pylori polypeptide with an interacting polypeptide (see, for example, European
patent
applications EP-412,762A and EP-B31,080A).
For example, scanning mutagenesis can be used to map the amino acid residues
of a particular H. pylori polypeptide involved in binding an interacting
polypeptide,
peptidomimetic compounds (e.g. diazepine or isoquinoline derivatives) can be
generated
which mimic those residues in binding to an interacting polypeptide, and which
therefore can inhibit binding of an H. pylori polypeptide to an interacting
polypeptide
and thereby interfere with the function of H. pylori polypeptide. For
instance, non-
hydrolyzable peptide analogs of such residues can be generated using
benzodiazepine
(e.g., see Freidinger et al. in Peptides: Chemistry and Biology, G.R. Marshall
ed.,
ESCOM Publisher: Leiden, Netherlands, 1988), azepine (e.g., see Huffman et al.
in
Peptides: Chemistry and Biology, G.R. Marshall ed., ESCOM Publisher: Leiden,
Netherlands, 1988), substituted gama lactam rings (Garvey et al. in Peptides:
Chemistry
and Biology, G.R. Marshall ed., ESCOM Publisher: Leiden, Netherlands, 1988),
keto-
methylene pseudopeptides (Ewenson et al. ( 1986) J Med Chem 29:295; and
Ewenson et
al. in Peptides: Structure and Function (Proceedings of the 9th American
Peptide
Symposium) Pierce Chemical Co. Rockland, IL, 1985), ~i-turn dipeptide cores

Commun 126:419; and Dann et al. ( 1986) Biochem Biophys Res Commun 134:71 ).
VI. Vaccine Formulations for H. pvlori Nucleic Acids and Polyp~tides
This invention also features vaccine compositions or formulations (used
interchangeably herein) for protection against infection by H. pylori or for
treatment of
H. pylori infection. As used herein, the term "treatment of H. pylori
infection" refers to

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-60-
therapeutic treatment of an existing or established X. pylori infection. The
terms
"protection against H. pylori infection" or "prophylactic treatment" refer to
the use of H.
pylori vaccine formulation for reducing the risk of or preventing an infection
in a subject
at risk for H pylori infection. In one embodiment, the vaccine compositions
contain one
or more immunogenic components, such as a surface protein, from H. pylori, or
portion
thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. For example, in one
embodiment, the
vaccine formulations of the invention contain at least one or combination of
H. pylori
polypeptides or fragments thereof, from same or different H. pylori antigens.
Nucleic
acids and H. pylori poIypeptides for use in the vaccine formulations of the
invention
include the nucleic acids and polypeptides set forth in the Sequence Listing,
preferably
those H. pylori nucleic acids that encode surface proteins and surface
proteins or
fragments thereof. For example, a preferred nucleic acid and H. pylori
polypeptide for
use in a vaccine composition of the invention is selected from the group of
nucleic acids
which encode cell envelope proteins and H. pylori cell envelope proteins as
set forth in
Table 1.- However, any nucleic acid encoding an immunogenic H. pylori protein
and H.
pylori polypetide, or portion thereof, can be used in the present invention.
These
vaccines have therapeutic and/or prophylactic utilities.
One aspect of the invention provides a vaccine composition for protection
against infection by H. pylori which contains at least one immunogenic
fragment of an
H. pylori protein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Preferred
fragments include
peptides of at least about 10 amino acid residues in length, preferably about
10-20 amino
acid residues in length, and more preferably about 12-16 amino acid residues
in length.
Immunogenic components of the invention can be obtained, for example, by
screening polypeptides recombinantly produced from the corresponding fragment
of the
nucleic acid encoding the full-length H. pylori protein. In addition,
fragments can be
chemically synthesized using techniques known in the art such as conventional
Merrifield solid phase f Moc or t-Boc chemistry.
In one embodiment, immunogenic components are identified by the ability of the
peptide to stimulate T cells. Peptides which stimulate T cells, as determined
by, for
example, T cell prol-iferation or cytokine secretion are defined herein as
comprising at
least one T cell enitc pe. T cell epitopes are believed to be involved in
initiation and
perpetuation of the immune response to the protein allergen which is
responsible for the
clinical symptoms of allergy. These T cell epitopes-are thought to trigger
early events at
the level of the T helper cell by binding to an appropriate HLA molecule on
the surface
of an antigen presenting cell, thereby stimulating the T cell subpopulation
with the
relevant T cell receptor for the epitope. These events lead to T cell
proliferation,
lymphokine secretion, local inflammatory reactions, recruitment of additional
immune

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-61 -
cells to the site of antigen/T cell interaction, and activation of the B cell
cascade, leading
to the production of antibodies. A T cell epitope is the basic element, or
smallest unit of
recognition by a T cell receptor, where the epitope comprises amino acids
essential to
receptor recognition (e.g., approximately 6 or 7 amino acid residues). Amino
acid
sequences which mimic those of the T cell epitopes are within the scope of
this
invention.
In another embodiment, immunogenic components of the invention are identified
through genomic vaccination. The-basic protocol is based on the idea that
expression
libraries consisting of all or parts of a pathogen genome, e.g., an H. pylori
genome, can
confer protection when used to genetically immunize a host. This expression
library
immunization (ELI) is analogous to expression cloning and involves reducing a
genomic
expression library of a pathogen, e.g., H. pylori, into plasmids that can act
as genetic
vaccines. The plasmids can also be designed to encode genetic adjuvants which
can
dramatically stimulate the humoral response. These genetic adjuvants can be
introduced
at remote sites and act as well extracelluraly as intraceIlularly.
This is a new approach to vaccine production that has many of the advantages
of
live/attenuated pathogens but no risk of infection. An expression library of
pathogen
DNA is used to immunize a host thereby producing the effects of antigen
presentation of
a live vaccine without the risk. For example, in-the present invention, random
fragments
from the H. pylori genome or from cosmid or plasmid clones, as well as PCR
products
from genes identified by genornic sequencing, can be used to immunize a host.
The
feasibility of this approach has been demonstrated with Mycoplasma pulmonis
(Barry et
al., Nature 377:632-635, 1995), where even partial expression libraries of
Mycoplasma
pulmonis, a natural pathogen in rodents, provided protection against challenge
from the
pathogen.
ELI is a technique that allows for production of a non-infectious multipartite
vaccine, even when little is known about pathogen's biology, because ELI uses
the
immune system to screen candidate genes. Once isolated, these genes can be
used as
genetic vaccines or for development of recombinant protein vaccines. Thus, ELI
allows
for production of vaccines in a systematic, largely mechanized fashion.
Screening immunogenic components can be accomplished using one or more of
several different assays. For example, in vitro, peptide T cell stimulatory
activity is
assayed by contacting a peptide known or suspected of being immunogenic with
an
antigen presenting cell which presents appropriate MHC molecules in a T cell
culture.
Presentation of an immunogenic H. pylori peptide in association with
appropriate MHC
molecules to T cells in conjunction with the necessary costimulation has the
effect of
transmitting a signal to the T cell that induces the production of increased
levels of

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-62-
cytokines, particularly of interleukin-2 and interleukin-4. The culture
supernatant can be
obtained and assayed for interleukin-2 or other known cytokines. For example,
any one
of several conventional assays for interleukin-2 can be employed, such as the
assay
described in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA, 86: 1333 (1989) the pertinent portions
of which
are incorporated herein by reference. A kit for an assay for the production of
interferon
is also available from Genzyme Corporation (Cambridge, MA).
Alternatively, a common assay for T cell proliferation entails measuring
tritiated
thymidine incorporation. The proliferation of T cells can be measured in vitro
by
determining the amount of 3H-labeled thymidine incorporated into the
replicating DNA
of cultured cells. Therefore, the rate of DNA synthesis and, in turn, the rate
of cell
division can be quantified_
Vaccine compositions or formulations of the invention containing one or more
immunogenic components (e.g., H. pylori polypeptide or fragment thereof or
nucleic
acid encoding an H. pylori polypeptide or fragment thereof) preferably include
a
1 S pharmaceutically acceptable earner. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable
carrier" is
intended to include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings,
antibacterial and
antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like,
compatible with
pharmaceutical administration. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers
include,
for example, one or more of water, saline, phosphate buffered saline,
dextrose, glycerol,
ethanol and the like, as well as combinations thereof. Pharmaceutically
acceptable
earners may further comprise minor amounts of auxiliary substances such as
wetting or
emulsifying agents, preservatives or buffers, which enhance the shelf life or
effectiveness of the H. pylori nucleic acid or polypeptide. For vaccine
formulations of
the invention containing H. pylori polypeptides, the polypeptide is preferably
coadministered with a suitable adjuvant and/or a delivery system described
herein.
It will be apparent to those of skill in the art that the therapeutically
effective
amount of DNA or protein-of this invention will depend, inter alia, upon the
administration schedule, the unit dose of an H. pylori nucleic acid or
polypeptide
administered, whether the protein or nucleic acid is administered in
combination with
other therapeutic agents, the immune status and health of the patient, and the
therapeutic
activity of the particular protein or nucleic acid.
Vaccine formulations are conventionally administered parenterally, e.g., by
inj ection, either subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Methods for
intramuscular
immunization are described by Wolff et al. (1990) Science 247: 1465-1468 and
by
Sedegah et al. (1994) Immunology 91: 9866-9870. Other modes of administration
include oral and pulmonary formulations, suppositories, and transdermal
applications.
Oral immunization is preferred over parenteral methods for inducing protection
against

infection by H. pylori. Czinn et. al. ( 1993) Vaccine 11: 637-642. Oral
formulations
include such normally employed excipients as, for example, pharmaceutical
grades of
mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharine, cellulose,
magnesium
carbonate, and the like.
In one embodiment; the vaccine formulation includes, as a pharmaceutically
acceptable carrier, an adjuvant. Examples of the suitable adjuvants for use in
the
vaccine formulations of the invention include, but are not limited, to
aluminum
hydroxide; N-acetyl-muramyl--L-threonyl-D-isoglutamine (thr-MDP); N-acetyl-nor-
muramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (CGP 11637, referred to as nor-MDP); N-
acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl-L-alanine-2-(1'-2'-dipalmitoyl-sn-
glycero-3-
hydroxyphos-phoryloxy)-ethylamine (CGP 19835A, referred to a MTP-PE); RIBI,
which contains three components from bacteria; monophosphoryl lipid A;
trehalose
dimycoloate; cell wall skeleton (MPL + TDM + CWS) in a 2% squalene/Tween 80
emulsion; and cholera toxin. Others which may be used are non-toxic
derivatives of
cholera toxin, including its B subunit, and/or conjugates or genetically
engineered
fusions of the H. pylori polypeptide with cholera toxin or its B subunit,
procholeragenoid, fungal polysaccharides, including schizophyllan, muramyl
dipeptide,
muramyl dipeptide derivatives, phorbol esters, labile toxin of E. coli, non-H.
pylori
bacterial lysates, block polymers or saponins.
In another embodiment, the vaccine formulation includes, as a pharmaceutically
acceptable carrier, a delivery system. Suitable delivery systems for use in
the vaccine
formulations of the invention include biodegradable microcapsules or immuno-
stimulating complexes (ISCOMs), cochleates, or liposomes, genetically
engineered
attenuated live vectors such as viruses or bacteria, and recombinant
(chimeric) virus-like
particles, e.g., bluetongue. In another embodiment of the invention, the
vaccine
formulation includes both a delivery system and an adjuvant.
Delivery systems in humans may include enteric release capsules protecting the
antigen from the acidic environment of the stomach, and including H. pylori
polypeptide
in an insoluble form as fusion proteins. Suitable carriers for the vaccines of
the
invention are enteric coated capsules and polylactide-glycolide microspheres.
Suitable
- diluents are 0.2 N NaHC03 and/or saline.
Vaccines of the invention can be administered as a primary prophylactic agent
in
adults or in children, as a secondary prevention, after successful eradication
of H. pylori
- in an infected host, or as a therapeutic agent in the aim to induce an
immune response in
a susceptible host to prevent infection by H. pylori. The vaccines of the
invention are
administered in amounts readily determined by persons of ordinary skill in the
art.
Thus, for adults a suitable dosage will be in the range of 10 ~g to 10 g,
preferably 10 p.g

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-64-
to 100 mg, for example 50 ~g to 50 mg. A suitable dosage for adults will also
be in the
range of 5 pg to 500 mg. Similar dosage ranges will be'applicable for
children.
The amount of adjuvant employed will depend on the type of adjuvant used. For
example, when the mucosal adjuvant is cholera toxin, it is suitably used in an
amount of
5 ~g to 50 pg, for example 10 ~.g to 35 p.g. When used in the form of
microcapsules, the
amount used will depend on the amount employed in the matrix of the
microcapsule to
achieve the desired dosage. The determination of this amount is within the
skill of a
person of ordinary skill in the art.-
Those skilled in the art will recognize that the optimal dose may be more or
less
depending upon the patient's body weight, disease, the route of
administration, and other
factors. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that appropriate dosage
levels can be
obtained based on results with known oral vaccines such as, for example, a
vaccine
based on an E. coli lysate (6 mg dose daily up to total of 540 mg) and with an
enterotoxigenic E. coli purified antigen (4 doses of 1 mg) (Schulman et al.,
J. Urol.
150:917-921 (1993)); Boedecker et al., American Gastroenterological Assoc.
999:A-222
( 1993)). The number of doses will depend upon the disease, the formulation,
and
efficacy data from clinical trials. Without intending any limitation as to the
course of
treatment, the treatment can be administered over 3 'to 8 doses for a primary
immunization schedule over 1 month (Boedeker, American Gastroenterological
Assoc.
888:A-222 (1993)).
In a preferred embodiment, a vaccine composition of the invention can be based
on a killed whole E. coli preparation with an immunogenic fragment of an H.
pylori
protein of the invention expressed on its surface or it can be based on an E.
coli lysate,
wherein the killed E. coli acts as a carrier or an adjuvant.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that some of the vaccine
compositions of the invention are useful only for preventing H. pylori
infection, some
are useful only for treating H. pylori infection, and some are useful for both
preventing
and treating H. pylori infection. In a preferred embodiment, the vaccine
composition of-
the invention provides protection against H. pylori infection by stimulating
humoral
and/or cell-mediated immunity against H. pylori. It should be understood that
amelioratio l of any of the symptoms of H. pylori infection is a desirable
clinical goal,
including a lessening of the dosage of medication used to treat H. pylori-
caused disease,
or an increase in the production of antibodies in the serum or mucous of
patients.

VII. Antibodies Reactive With H. pylori Polypeptides
The invention also includes antibodies specifically reactive with the subject
H.
pylori polypeptide. Anti-protein/anti-peptide antisera or monoclonal
antibodies can be
made by standard protocols (See, for example, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual
ed. by
Harlow and Lane (Cold Spring Harbor Press: 1988)). A mammal such as a mouse, a
hamster or rabbit can be immunized with an immunogenic form of the peptide.
Techniques for conferring immunogenicity on a protein or peptide include
conjugation
to carriers or other techniques well known in the art. An immunogenic portion
of the
subject H. pylori polypeptide can be administered in the presence of adjuvant.
The
I 0 progress of immunization can be monitored by detection of antibody titers
in plasma or
serum. Standard ELISA or other immunoassays can be used with the-immunogen as
antigen to assess the levels of antibodies.
In a preferred embodiment, the subject antibodies are immunospecific for
antigenic determinants of the H. pylori polypeptides of the invention, e.g.
antigenic
determinants of a polypeptide of the invention contained in the Sequence
Listing, or a
closely related human or non-human mammalian homolog (e.g., 90% homologous,
more
preferably at least 95% homologous). In yet a further preferred embodiment of
the
invention, the anti-H. pylori antibodies do not substantially cross react
(i.e., react
specifically) with a protein which is for example, Iess than 80% percent
homologous to a
sequence of the invention contained in the Sequence Listing. By "not
substantially cross
react", it is meant that the antibody has a binding affinity for a non-
homologous protein
which is less than 10 percent, more preferably less than 5 percent, and even
more
preferably less than I percent, of the binding affinity for a protein of the
invention
contained in the Sequence Listing. In a most preferred embodiment, there is no
crossreactivity between bacterial and mammalian antigens.
The term antibody as used herein is intended to include fragments thereof
which
are also specifically reactive with H. pylori polypeptides. Antibodies can be
fragmented
using conventional techniques and the fragments screened for utility in the
same manner
as described above for whole antibodies. For example, F(ab')2 fragments can be
generated by treating antibody with pepsin. The resulting F(ab')2 fragment can
be
treated to reduce disulfide bridges to produce Fab' fragments. The antibody of
the
invention is further intended to include bispecific and chimeric molecules
having an
anti-H. pylori portion.
Both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies (Ab) directed against H. pylori
polypeptides or H. pylori polypeptide variants, and antibody fragments such as
Fab' and
F(ab')2, can be used to block the action of H. pylori polypeptide and allow
the study of
the role of a particular H. pylori polypeptide of the invention in aberrant or
unwanted

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-66-
intracellular signaling, as well as the normal cellular function of the H.
pylori and by
microinjection of anti-H. pylori polypeptide antibodies of the present
invention.
Antibodies which specifically bind H. pylori epitopes can also be used in
immunohistochemical staining of tissue samples in order to evaluate the
abundance and
S pattern of expression of H. pylori antigens. Anti H. pylori polypeptide
antibodies can be
used diagnostically in immuno-precipitation and immuno-blotting to detect and
evaluate
H. pylori levels in tissue or bodily fluid as part of a clinical testing
procedure. Likewise,
the ability to monitor H. pylori polypeptide levels in an individual can allow
determination of the efficacy of a given treatment regimen for an individual
afflicted
with such a disorder. The level of an H. pylori polypeptide can be measured in
cells
found in bodily fluid, such as in urine samples or can be measured in tissue,
such as
produced by gastric biopsy. Diagnostic assays using anti-H. pylori antibodies
can
include, for example, immunoassays designed to aid in early diagnosis of H.
pylori
infections. The present invention can also be used as a method of detecting
antibodies
contained in samples from individuals infected by this bacterium using
specific H. pylori
antigens.
Another application of anti-H. pylori polypeptide antibodies of the invention
is
in the immunological screening of cDNA libraries constructed in expression
vectors
such as ~,gtl 1, ~.gtl8-23, 7~ZAP, and ~,ORF8. Messenger libraries of this
type, having
coding sequences inserted in the correct reading frame and orientation, can
produce
fusion proteins. For instance, ~,gt 11 will produce fusion proteins whose
amino termini
consist of !3-galactosidase amino acid sequences and whose carboxy termini
consist of a
foreign polypeptide. Antigenic epitopes of a subject H. pylori polypeptide can
then be
detected with antibodies, as, for example, reacting nitrocellulose filters
lifted from
infected plates with anti-H. pylori polypeptide antibodies. Phage, scored by
this assay,
can then be isolated from the infected plate. Thus, the presence of H. pylori
gene
homologs can be detected and cloned from other species, and alternate isoforms
(including splicing variants) can be detected and cloned.
VIII. Kits Containing Nucleic Acids. Polypeptides or Antibodies of the
Invention

combined
with other reagents and articles to form kits. Kits for diagnostic purposes
typically
comprise the nucleic acid, polypeptides or antibodies in vials or other
suitable vessels.
- Kits typically comprise other reagents for performing hybridization
reactions,
polymerise chain reactions (PCR), or for reconstitution of lyophilized
components, such
as aqueous media, salts, buffers, and the like. Kits may also comprise

and the like.
Kits may also comprise labeling means such as dyes, developing reagents,

particular
purpose. Kits further can include instructions for use.
IX. Drue Screening Assays Usin~Hwlori Polypeptides
By making available purified and recombinant H. pylori polypeptides, the
I 0 present invention provides assays which can be used to screen for drugs
which are either
agoilists or antagonists of the normal cellular function, in this case, of the
subject H.
pylori polypeptides, or of their role in intracellular signaling. Such
inhibitors or
potentiators may be useful as new therapeutic agents to combat H. pylori
infections in
humans. A variety of assay formats will suffice and, in light of the present
inventions,
15 will be comprehended by the skilled artisan.
In many drug screening programs which test libraries of compounds and natural
extracts, high throughput assays are desirable in order to maximize the number
of
compounds surveyed in a given period of time. Assays which are performed in
cell-free
systems, such as may be derived with purified or semi-purified proteins, are
often
20 preferred as "primary" screens in that they can be generated to permit
rapid development
and relatively easy detection of an alteration in a molecular target which is
mediated by
a test compound. Moreover, the effects of cellular toxicity and/or
bioavailability of the
test compound can be generally ignored in the in vitro system, the assay
instead being
focused primarily on the effect of the drug on the molecular target as may be
manifest in
25 an alteration of binding affinity with other proteins or change in
enzymatic properties of
the molecular target. Accordingly, in an exemplary screening assay of the
present
invention, the compound of interest is contacted with an isolated and purified
H. pylori
polypeptide.
Screening assays can be constructed in vitro with a purified H. pylori
30 polypeptide or fragment thereof, such as an H. pylori polypeptide having
enzymatic
activity, such that the activity of .he polypeptide produces a detectable
reaction product.
The efficacy of the compound can be assessed by generating dose response
curves from
data obtained using various concentrations of the test compound. Moreover, a
control
assay can also be performed to provide a baseline for comparison. Suitable
products
35 include those with distinctive absorption, fluorescence, or chemi-
luminescence
properties, for example, because detection may be easily automated. A variety
of
synthetic or naturally occurring compounds can be tested in the assay to
identify those

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-68-
which inhibit or potentiate the activity of the N. pylori polypeptide. Some of
these
active compounds may directly, or with chemical alterations to promote
membrane
permeability or solubility, also inhibit or potentiate the same activity
(e.g., enzymatic
activity) in whole, live H. pylori cells.
This invention is further illustrated by the following examples which should
not
be construed as limiting. The contents of all references and published patent
applications cited throughout this application are hereby incorporated by

EXEMPLIFICATION
I. Cloning and Sequencing of H pylori DNA
H. pylori chromosomal DNA was isolated according to a basic DNA protocol
outlined in Schleif R.F. and Wensink P.C., Practical Methods in Molecular
Biology,
p.98, Springer-Verlag, NY., 1981, with minor modifications. Briefly, cells
were
pelleted, resuspended in TE ( 10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.6) and GES lysis
buffer
(5.1 M guanidium thiocyanate, 0.1 M EDTA, pH 8.0, 0.5% N-laurylsarcosine) was
added. Suspension was chilled and ammonium acetate (NH4Ac) was added to final
concentration of 2.0 M. DNA was extracted, first with chloroform, then with
phenol-
chloroform, and reextracted with chloroform. DNA was precipitated with
isopropanol,
washed twice with 70% EtOH, dried and resuspended in TE.
Following isolation whole genomic H. pylori DNA was nebulized (Bodenteich et
al., Automated DNA Seguencing and Analysis (J.C. Venter, ed.), Academic Press,
I 994)
to a median size of 2000 bp. After nebulization, the DNA was concentrated and
separated on a standard 1 % agarose gel. Several fractions, corresponding to
approximate sizes 900-1300 bp, 1300-1700 bp, 1700-2200 bp, 2200-2700 bp, were
excised from the gel and purified by the GeneCIean procedure (Bio101, Inc.).
The purified DNA fragments were then blunt-ended using T4 DNA polymerase.
The healed DNA was then ligated to unique BstXI-linker adapters in 100-1000
fold
molar excess. These linkers are complimentary to the BstXI-cut pMPX vectors,
while
tl- a overhang is not self complimentary. Therefore, the linkers will not
concatemerize
nor will the cut-vector religate itself easily. The linker-adopted inserts
were separated
from the unincorporated linkers on a 1 % agarose gel and purified using
GeneClean. The
linker-adopted inserts were then ligated to each of the 20 pMPX vectors to
construct a
series of "shotgun" subclone Libraries. The vectors contain an out-of frame
IacZ gene at
the cloning site which becomes in-frame in the event that an adapter-dimer is
cloned,
allowing these to be avoided by their blue-color.

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/EJS97/22104
-69-
All subsequent steps were based on the multiplex DNA sequencing protocols
outlined in Church G.M. and Kieffer-Higgins S., Science 240:185-188, 1988.
Only
major modifications to the protocols are highlighted. Briefly, each of the 20
vectors was
then transformed into DHSa competent cells (GibcoBRL, DHSa transformation
S protocol). The libraries were assessed by plating onto antibiotic plates
containing
ampicillin, methicillin and IPTG/Xgal. The plates were incubated overnight at
37oC.
Successful transformants were then used for plating of clones and pooling into
the
multiplex pools. The clones were picked and pooled into 40 ml growth medium
cultures. The cultures were grown overnight at 37oC. DNA was purified using
the
Qiagen Midi-prep kits and Tip-100 columns (Qiagen, Inc.). In this manner, 100
~g of
DNA was obtained per pool. Fifteen 96-well plates of DNA were generated to
obtain a
5- I 0 fold sequence redundancy assuming 250-300 base average read-lengths.
These purified DNA samples were then sequenced using the multiplex DNA
sequencing based on chemical degradation methods (Church G.M. and Kieffer-
Higgins
S., Science 240:185-188, 1988) or by Sequithrem (Epicenter Technologies)
dideoxy
sequencing protocols. The sequencing reactions were electrophoresed and
transferred
onto nylon membranes by direct transfer electrophoresis from 40 cm gels
(Richterich P.
and Church G.M., Methods in Enrymology 218:187-222, 1993) or by
electroblotting
(Church, supra). 24 samples were run per gel. 45 successful membranes were
produced
by chemical sequencing and 8 were produced by dideoxy sequencing. The DNA was
covalently bound to the membranes by exposure to ultraviolet light, and
hybridized with
labeled oligonucleotides complimentary to tag sequences on the vectors
(Church, supra).
The membranes were washed to rinse off non-specifically bound probe, and
exposed to
X-ray film to visualize individual sequence ladders. After autoradiography,
the
hybridized probe was removed by incubation at 65° C, and the
hybridization cycle
repeated with another tag sequence until the membrane had been probed 3 8
times for
chemical sequencing membranes and 10 times for the dideoxy sequencing
membranes.
Thus, each gel produced a large number of films, each containing new
sequencing
information. Whenever a new blot was processed, it was initially probed for an
internal
standard sequence added to each of the pools.
Digital images of the films were generated using a laser-scanning densitomet
:r
(Molecular Dynamics, Sunnyvale, CA). The digitized images were processed on
computer workstations (VaxStation 4000's) using the program REPLICATM (Church
et
al., Automated DNA Sequencing and Analysis (J.C. Venter, ed.), Academic Press,
1994).
Image processing included lane straightening, contrast adjustment to smooth
out
intensity differences, and resolution enhancement by iterative gaussian
deconvolution.
The sequences were then automatically picked in REPLICATM and displayed for

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/Z4475 PCT/US97/22104
-70-
interactive proofreading before being stored in a project database. The
proofreading was
accomplished by a quick visual scan of the film image followed by mouse clicks
on the
bands of the displayed image to modify the base calls. Many of the sequence
errors
could be detected and corrected because multiple sequence reads covering the
same
portion of the genomic DNA provide adequate sequence redundancy for editing.
Each
sequence automatically received an identification number (corresponding to
microtiter
plate, probe information, and lane set number). This number serves as a
permanent
identifier of the sequence so it is always possible to identify the original
of any
particular sequence without recourse to a specialized database.
Routine assembly of H. pylori sequences was done using the program FALCON
(Church, Church et al., Automated DNA Sequenicng and Analysis (J.C. Venter,
ed.),
Academic Press, 1994). This program has proven to be fast and reliable for
most
sequences. The assembled contigs were displayed using a modified version of
GelAssemble, developed by the Genetics Computer Group (GCG) (Devereux et al.,
1 S Nucleic Acid Res. 12:387-95, 1984) that interacts with REPLICATM. This
provided for
an integrated editor that allows multiple sequence gel images to be
instantaneously
called up from the REPLICATM database and displayed to allow rapid scanning of
contigs and proofreading of gel traces where discrepancies occurred between
different
sequence reads in the assembly.
I1. Identification, cloning and expression of recombinant H. pylori DNA
sequences
To facilitate the cloning, expression and purification of membrane and
secreted
proteins from H. pylori a powerful gene expression system, the pET System
(Novagen),
for cloning and expression of recombinant proteins in E. coli, was selected.
Also, a
DNA sequence encoding a peptide tag, the His-Tag, was fused to the 3' end of
DNA
sequences of interest in order to facilitate purification of the recombinant
protein
products. The 3' end was selected for fusion in order to avoid alteration of
any 5'
terminal signal sequence. The exception to the above was ppiB, a gene cloned
for use as
a control in the expression studies. In this study, the sequence for H. pylori
ppiB
contains a DNA sequence encoding a His-Tag fused to the 5' end of the full
length gene,
because the protein product of this gene does not c~nt~.in a signal sequence
and is
expressed as a cytosolic protein.

PCR Amplifrcation and cloning of DNA sequences containing ORF's for membrane
and
secreted proteins from the J99 Strain of Helicobacter pylori.
Sequences chosen (from the list of the DNA sequences of the invention) for
cloning from the J99 strain of H. pylori were prepared for amplification
cloning by
polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Synthetic oligonucleotide primers (Table 3)
specific
for the 5' and 3' ends of open reading frames (ORFs) were designed and
purchased
(GibcoBRL Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD, USA). All forward primers
(specific
for the 5' end of the sequence) were designed to include an NcoI cloning site
at the
extreme 5' terminus, except for HpSeq. 4821082 where NdeI was used. These
primers
were designed to permit initiation of protein translation at a methionine
residue followed
by a valine residue and the coding sequence for the remainder of the native H.
pylori
DNA sequence. An exception is H. pylori sequence 4821082 where the initiator
methionine is immediately followed by the remainder of the native H. pylori
DNA
sequence. All reverse primers (specific for the 3' end of any H. pylori ORF)
included a
EcoRI site at the extreme 5' terminus to permit cloning of each H. pylori
sequence into
the reading frame of the pET-28b. The pET-28b vector provides sequence
encoding an
additional 20 carboxy-terminal amino acids (only 19 amino acids in HpSeq.
26380318
and HpSeq.14640637) including six histidine residues (at the extreme C-
terminus),
which comprise the His-Tag. An exception to the above, as noted earlier, is
the vector
construction for the ppiB gene. A synthetic oligonucleotide primer specific
for the 5'
end of ppiB gene encoded a BamHI site at its extreme 5' terminus and the
primer for the
3' end of the ppiB gene encoded a XhoI site at its extreme 5' terminus.

Upon completion of thermal cycling reactions, each sample of amplified DNA
was washed and purified using the Qiaquick Spin PCR purification kit (Qiagen,
Gaithersburg, MD, USA). All amplified DNA samples were subjected to digestion
with
the restriction endonucleases, NcoI and EcoRI (New England BioLabs, Beverly,
MA,
USA), or in the case of HpSeq. 4821082 (SEQ ID NO: 1309), with NdeI and EcoRI
(Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel
et al.,
eds., 1994). DNA samples were then subjected to electrophoresis on 1.0 %
NuSeive
(FMC BioProducts, Rockland, ME USA) agarose gels. DNA was visualized by
1 S exposure to ethidium bromide and long wave uv irradiation. DNA contained
in slices
isolated from the agarose gel was purified using the Bio 101 GeneClean Kit
protocol
(Bio 101 Vista, CA, USA).
Cloning of H. pylori DNA sequences into the pET 28b prokaryotic expression
vector.
The pET-28b vector was prepared for cloning by digestion with NcoI and EcoRI,
or in the case of H. pylori protein 4821082 with NdeI and EcoRI (Current
Protocols in
Molecular Biology, 3ohn Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
In the case
of cloning ppiB, the pET-28a vector, which encodes a His-Tag that can be fused
to the
S' end of an inserted gene, was used and the cloning site prepared for cloning
with the
ppiB gene by digestion with BamHI and XhoI restriction endonucleases.
Following digestion, DNA inserts were cloned (Current Protocols in Molecular
Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994) into the
previously
digested pET-28b expression vector, except for the amplified insert for ppiB,
which was
cloned into the pET-28a expression vector. Products of the ligation reaction
were then
used to transform the BL21 strain of E. coli (Current Protocols in Molecular
Biology,
John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., ids., 1994) as described below.
Transformation of competent bacteria with recombinant plasmids
Competent bacteria, E coli strain BL21 or E. coli strain BL21(DE3), were
transformed with recombinant pET expression plasmids carrying the cloned H.
pylori
sequences according to standard methods (Current Protocols in Molecular, John
Wiley
and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994). Briefly, 1 microliter of
ligation reaction

was mixed with 50 microliters of electrocompetent cells and subjected to a
high voltage
pulse, after which, samples were incubated in 0.45 milliliters SOC medium
(0.5% yeast
extract, 2.0 % tryptone, 10 mM NaCI, 2.5 mM KCI, 10 mM MgCl2, 10 mM MgS04 and
20, mM glucose) at 37oC with shaking for 1 hour. Samples were then spread on
LB
agar plates containing 25 microgram/ml kanamycin sulfate for growth overnight.
Transformed colonies of BL21 were then picked and analyzed to evaluate cloned
inserts
as described below.
Identification of recombinant pET expression plasmids carrying H. pylori
sequences
Individual BL21 clones transformed with recombinant pET-28b-H.pylori ORFs
were analyzed by PCR amplification of the cloned inserts using the same
forward and
reverse primers, specific for each H. pylori sequence, that were used in the
original PCR
amplification cloning reactions. Successful amplification verified the
integration of the
H. pylori sequences in the expression vector (Current Protocols in Molecular
Biology,
John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
Isolation and Preparation of plasmid DNA from BL21 transformants
Individual clones of recombinant pET-28b vectors carrying properly cloned H.
pylori ORFs were picked and incubated in 5 mls of LB broth plus 25
microgram/ml
kanamycin sulfate overnight. The following day plasmid DNA was isolated and
purified using the Qiagen plasmid purification protocol (Qiagen Inc.,
Chatsworth, CA,
USA).
Expression of recombinant H. pylori sequences in E coli
The pET vector can be propagated in any E coli K-12 strain e.g. HMS174,
HB 101, JM109, DHS, etc. for the purpose of cloning or plasmid preparation.
Hosts for
expression include E. coli strains containing a chromosomal copy of the gene
for T7
RNA polymerise. These hosts are lysogens of bacteriophage DE3, a lambda
derivative
that carries the lacI gene, the lacUVS promoter and the gene for T7 RNA
polymerise.
T7 RNA polymerise is induced by addition of isopropyl-B-D-thiogalactoside
{IPTG),
and the T7 RN ~ polymerise transcribes any target plasmid, such as pET-28b,
carrying a
T7 promoter and a gene of interest. Strains used include: BL21 (DE3) (Studier,
F.W.,
Rosenberg, A.H., Dunn, J.J., ind Dubendorff, J.W. (1990) Meth. Enzymol. 185,
60-89).
To express recombinant H. pylori sequences, 50 nanograms of plasmid DNA
isolated as described above was used to transform competent BL21 (DE3)
bacteria as
described above {provided by Novagen as part of the pET expression system
kit). The
IacZ gene (beta-galactosidase) was expressed in the pET-System as described
for the H.

pylori recombinant constructions. Transformed cells were cultured in SOC
medium for
1 hour, and the culture was then plated on LB plates containing 25
micrograms/ml
kanamycin sulfate. The following day, bacterial colonies were pooled and grown
in LB
medium containing kanamycin sulfate (25 micrograms/ml) to an optical density
at 600
nM of 0.5 to 1.0 O.D. units, at which point, 1 millimolar IPTG was added to
the culture
for 3 hours to induce gene expression of the H. pylori recombinant DNA
constructions.
After induction of gene expression with IPTG, bacteria were pelleted by
centrifugation in a Sorvall RC-3B centrifuge at 3500 x g for 15 minutes at
4°C. Pellets
were resuspended in 50 milliliters of cold 10 mM Tris-HCI, pH 8.0, 0.1 M NaCI
and 0.1
mM EDTA (STE buffer). Cells were then centrifuged at 2000 x g for 20 min at
4oC.
Wet pellets were weighed-and frozen at -80°C until ready for protein
purification.

IV. Analysis of H pylori proteins as Vaccine candidates
To analyze H. pylori proteins for use in the vaccine formulations of the
invention, several H. pylori proteins were expressed, characterized
immunologically and
tested in animal efficacy studies as outlined below. Specifically, the
immunomodulatory
effects of H. pylori proteins were investigated in a mouse/H. pylori model
which mimics
the human H. pylori infection in humans. In these studies, the effect of oral
immunization of selected H. pylori poiypeptides in H. pylori infected mice was
determined.
-- Identification, cloning and expression of recombinant Helicobacter pylori
seguences.
1 S To facilitate the cloning, expression and purification of membrane andlor
secreted proteins from H. pylori, the pET gene expression system (Novagen),
for cloning '-
and expression of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli was selected.
Further, for
proteins that have a signal sequence at their amino-terminal end, a DNA
sequence
encoding a peptide tag (His-tag) was fused to the 5' end of the H. pylori DNA
sequences
of interest in order to facilitate purification of the recombinant protein
products.

PCR amplification and cloning of DNA sequences containing ORFs for membrane
and
secreted proteins from the J99 strain of Helicobacter pylori.
The sequences selected (from the list of the DNA sequences of the invention)
for
S cloning from H. pylori strain J99 were prepared for amplification cloning by
the
polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All of the selected sequences encode for
outer
membrane H. pylori proteins, with vac9 (SEQ ID N0:125), vacl0 (SEQ ID N0:147),
vac22 (SEQ ID N0:121 ) and vac41 (SEQ ID N0:176) sequences all sharing a
terminal
phenylalanine residue. Likewise, the vac32 (SEQ ID N0:108), vac36 (SEQ ID
N0:149)
and vac37 (SEQ ID N0:139) sequences all share a terminal phenylalanine residue
and a
tyrosine cluster at the C-terminus. Synthetic oligonucleotide primers for each
ORF of
interest (Table 5) specific for the predicted mature 5' end of the ORF and
downstream
(3') of the predicted translational termination codon were designed and
purchased
(GibcoBRL Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD, USA). All forward primers
{specific
for the 5' terminus of the region of ORF of interest) were designed to include
a BamIII
restriction site followed by a NdeI restriction site. These primers were
designed to
permit the initiation of protein translation at a methionine residue encoding
within the
NdeI restriction site sequence (in the case of producing a non His-tagged
recombinant
protein) or to fuse in frame with the DNA sequence encoding the His-tag (for
producing
His-tagged recombinant protein), followed by the coding sequence for the
remainder of
the native H. pylori DNA. All reverse oligonucleotide primers (specific for
downstream
(3') of the predicted translational termination codon of the ORF) were
designed to
include an EcoRI restriction site at the 5' terminus. This combination of
primers would
enable each ORF-of interest to be cloned into pET28b (to produce a His-tagged
recombinant protein) or pET30a (to produce a non His-tagged or native
recombinant
protein). The pET28b vector provides sequence encoding an additional 20 amino-
terminal amino acids (plus the methionine in the NdeI restriction site)
including a stretch
of six histidine residues which makes up the His-tag.
Genomic DNA prepared from H. pylori strain J99 (ATCC 55679) was used as
the source of template DNA for the PCR amplification reactions (Current
Protocols in
Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausube~ et al., eds., 1994).
To
amplify a DNA sequence containing a specific H. pylori ORF, genomic DNA (50
nanograms) was introduced into a reaction tube containing 200 nanograms of
both the
forward and reverse synthetic oligonucleotide primer specific for the ORF of
interest,
and 45 microliters of PCR SuperMix purchased (GibcoBRL Life Technologies,
Gaithersburg, MD, USA) in a total of 50 microliters. The PCR SuperMix is
supplied in
1.1X concentrations and contains 22mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.4), SSmM KCI, 1.65 mM

The pOKl2 vector (J. Vieira and J. Messing, Gene 100:189-194, 1991) was
prepared for cloning for digestion with BamHI and EcoRI in the case of Vac9,
10, 22, 31
and 32, whereas the pSU21 vector (B. Bartolome et al., Gene 102:75-78, 1991 )
was
prepared for cloning by digestion with BamHI and EcoRI in the case of Vac 41
(Current
Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al.,
eds.,
1994). The vectors were subjected to electrophoresis on 1.0% agarose gels and
purified
using the Wizard PCR Preps kit (Promega Corp., Madison, WI, USA). Following
ligation of the purified, digested vector and the purified, digested amplified
H. pylori
ORF, the products of the ligation reaction were transformed into E. coli JM109
competent cells according to standard methods (Current Protocols in Molecular
Biology,
John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994). Individual
bacterial colonies
were screened for those containing the correct recombinant plasmids by
incubating in
LB broth overnight (plus 25ug/ml kanamycin sulfate for the pOKl2 based
plasmids or
25ug/ml chloramphenicol for the pSU21 based plasmids) followed by plasmid DNA
preparation using the Magic Minipreps system (Promega Corp., Madison, WI,
USA),
and then analyzed by restriction digestion (Current Protocols in Molecular
Biology, John
Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
Cloning of H. pylori DNA sequences into the pET28b and pET30a prokaryotic
expression vectors
Both the pET28b and pET30a expression vectors were prepared for cloning by
digestion with NdeI and EcoRI (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John
Wiley
and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994). The H. pylori DNA sequences
were
removed from pOKl2 (Vac9,10,23,31 and 32) or pSU21 (Vac41 ) plasmid backbones
by
digestion with NdeI and EcoRI (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John
Wiley
and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al.) eds., 1994). The pET28b, pET30a and H.
pylori DNA
sequences were ali electrophoresed on a 1 % agarose gel and purified using the
Wizard
PCR Preps kit (Promega Corp., Madison WI, USA). Following ligation of the
purified,
digested expression vector and the purified, digest H. pylori DNA sequences,
the
products of the ligation reaction were transformed into E. col i JM 109
competes _ cells
(Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel
et al.,
eds., 1994). Individual bacterial colonies were screened for those containing
the correct
recombinant plasmids by preparing plasmid DNA as described above followed by
3 S analysis by restriction digestion profiles and DNA sequencing (Current
Protocols in
Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
These
recombinant plasmids were then used to transform specific E. coli expression
strains.

Transformation of competent bacteria with recombinant expression plasmids
Competent bacterial strains (BL21 (DE3), BL21 (DE3)pLyS, HMS 174(DE3) and
HMS 174(DE3)pLysS were prepared and transformed with the recombinant pET28b
expression plasmids carrying the cloned H. pylori sequences according to
standard
methods (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F.
Ausubel et al., eds., 1994). These expression host strains contain a
chromosomal copy
of the gene for T7 RNA polymerase. These hosts are lysogens of bacteriophage
DE3, a
lambda derivate that carries the lacl gene, the IacUV~ promoter and the gene
for T7
RNA polymerase. T7 RNA polymerase expression is induced by the addition of
isopropyl-(3-D thiogalactoside ( 1 PTG), and the T7 RNA polymerase then
transcribes any
target plasmid, such as pET28b, that carries a T7 promoter sequence and a gene
of
Interest.
Expression of recombinant H. pylori sequences in E. coli
Transformants were collected from LB agar plates containing 25ug/ml
kanamycin sulfate (ensures maintenance of the pET28b-based recombinant
plasmids)
and used to inoculate LB broth containing 25ug/ml kanamycin sulfate and grown
to an
optical density at 600nm of 0.5 to 1.0 OD units, at which point 1 mM 1 PTG was
added
to the culture for one to three hours to induce gene expression of the H.
pylori
recombinant DNA constructions. After induction of gene expression with 1 PTG,
bacteria were pelleted by centrifugation and resuspended in SDS-PAGE
solubilization
buffer and subjected to SDS-PAGE (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John
Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994). Proteins were visualized
by staining
with Coomassie Brilliant Blue or detected by western immunoblotting using the
specific
anti-His tag monoclonal antibody (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA, USA) using standard
methods (Current Protocols-in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F.
Ausubel et al., eds., 1994). The host strain that provided the highest level
of
recombinant protein production was then chosen for use in a large-scale
induction in
order to purify the recombinant protein. All of the following proteins listed
were
expressed recombinantly and the strain giving the highest level of expression
listed:
BL21 (DE3) (vac31, vac26, vac37); BL21 (DE3) pLysS (vac 9, 32); HMS 174(DE3)
(vac 10,11 ).

Purifrcation of recombinant proteins and generation of specific antiserum
Large scale cultures were inoculated and grown as above, and induced with 1mM
1 PTG for 3 hours. After induction, bacteria were pelleted by centrifugation
in a Sorvall
centrifuge at 3500 x g for 15 min at 4°C. All of the expressed
recombinant proteins
S were present in the insoluble inclusion body fraction. Inclusion bodies were
purified
according to standard protocols (Antibodies, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Press, E.
Harlow and D. Lane, eds., 1988). The recombinant protein produced by vac32 was
solubilized in 8M urea and partially purified by nickel chromatography (REF
here).
Denatured recombinant proteins were purified by electrophoresis on SDS-PAGE
gels,
and after visualization with Coomassie Brilliant Blue, the protein was excised
from the
gel and the gel slices homogenized. This material was used to raise specific
polyclonal
antibodies in mice or rabbits according to standard protocols (Antibodies,
Cold Spring
Harbor Laboratory Press, E. Harlow and D. Lane, eds., 1988).
Immunological characterization of recombinant proteins
In all cases where antibody was attempted to be raised, high titre antisera
was
generated, confirming the immunogenicity of the recombinant proteins. Further,
these
specific antisera were used to analyze whether the protein encoded by the
cloned gene
was expressed in H. pylori. Western immunoblot analysis using standard
protocols
(Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel
et al.,
eds., 1994) confirmed that the H. pylori strain J99 did express proteins of
the expected
molecular weight that reacted with the vacl0, vac32, vac3l, vac36 antiserum.
The
specific antiserum was also used to determine the level of antigenic
conservation
between a large number of H. pylori isolates that had been obtained from
distinct
geographical sites around the world, and from all types of clinical
manifestations,
including gastritis, duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer and gastric cancer. It was
found that
every strain produced a protein that reacted specifically with each antiserum.
Further, H. pylori cells from strains J99, 17874, AH244 and SS 1-were
fractionated into different cellular compartments (Doig and Trust 1994 Infect.
Immun.
62:4526-4533: O'Toole et al. 1995 J. Bacteriol. 177:6049-6057). The specific
antiserum
was used to probe .hese fractions by western immunoblot to identify in which
fraction
the protein was localized. In all cases, the immunoreactive protein was
present in the
outer membrane as had been predicted by the sequence features and motif
searches
described herein.

Demonstration of protein effrcacy as a vaccine
Purification of vac36 for efficac~studies
All the following steps were carried out at 4°C. Cell pellets were
resuspended in
volumes per gram of cell of lysis buffer (50mM Sodium Phosphate pH 8.0, 0.5 M
5 NaC 1, 5mM Imidazole) with 1 OmM EDTA, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride
(PMSF) and 0.1 % (3-mercaptoethanol, and ruptured by several passages through
a small
volume microfluidizer (Model M-1 lOS, Microfluidics International Corporation,
Newton, MA). The resulting homogenate was made 0.2% sodium deoxycholate (DOC),
stirred 20 minutes, then centrifuged ( 10,000 g x 30 min). The pellets were
washed twice
with Lysis Buffer containing 1 OmM EDTA, 1 % Triton X-100, 1 mM PMSF and 0.1 %
~i
-mercaptoethanol, then with lysis buffer containing 1 M urea, 1 mM PMSF and
0.1 % (3-
mercaptoethanol. The resulting white pellet is composed primarily of inclusion
bodies,
free of unbroken cells and membranous materials.
The inclusion bodies were dissolved in 20 ml 6M guanidine-HC 1 in lysis buffer
with 1 mM PMSF and 0.1 % ~-mercaptoethanol, and incubated on ice for 1 hour.
Materials that did not dissolve were removed by centrifugation {100,000 g x 30
min.)
The clear supernatant was filtered through a 0.8 pm Supor filter (Gelman
Sciences,
FRG) and then load directly onto a 10 ml Ni2+ - NTA agarose column (Hochuli et
al.
1987) pre-equilibrated in 6M guanidine-HCl in Lysis Buffer containing 1 mM
PMSF
and 0.1 % (3-Mercaptoethanol. The column was washed with 20m1 (2 bed volumes)
of
Lysis Buffer containing 6M guanidine-HCI, 1 mM PMSF and 0.1 %~3-
mercaptoethanol,
then guanidine-HCl was removed slowly with a 100 ml linear gradient (from 6M
to 0 M
Guanidine-HCl) of lysis buffer containing 0.5% Brij 35, 1 mM PMSF, 0.1 % ~i-
mercaptochanol. Next, the column was developed with a 25 ml linear gradient of
increasing imidazole (5 to 500 mM) in Lysis buffer containing 0.5% Brij 35, 1
mM
PMSF and 0.1 % (3-mercaptoethanol. The recombinant proteins elute as a peak
centered
at 100mM imidazole.
Fractions containing the recombinant proteins were pooled and then
concentrated
to approximately 8 ml by centrifugal filtration (Centriprep-10, Amicon, MA),
and
loaded directly onto a 350-ml column (2.2 X 91 cm) of Sephacyl S-100 HR gel

medium equilibrated in Buffer A (50mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 8.0, 500 mM NaC 1,
0.1 mM EGTA, 1 mM PMSF, 0.1 %(3-mercaptoethanol, 0.5% Brij 35) and ran in
Buffer
A at 30 ml/h. Fractions containing the recombinant protein were identified by
absorbance at 280 nm and analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Fractions were pooled,
concentrated to 1.5 to 2 mg/ml and dialysed overnight against 10 mM Potassium
Phosphate pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCI, 0.1 mM EGTA and 0.5% Brij 35. The concentration
of protein in the dialysate was quantified, then aliquoted prior to freezing

Mouse model of Heliocobacterpylori infection
A marine model of H. pylori infection was produced by infection of C57BL/6
mice with with H. pylori Sydney strain SS l and was used to assess the
efficacy of
recombinant H. pylori vac36. This mouse-adapted H. pylori strain is cagA+
vacA+,
shows colonization levels in C57BL/6 mice equivalent to those observed in
humans,
forms adhesion pedestals, colonizes for at least 8 months, and elicits a
chronic-active
gastritis and mucosal atrophy (Lee et al., Gastroenterology, 112:1386-1397,
1997).
Dose-response studies have shown 100% infection rates of inbred C57BL/6 and
Balb/C
mice at 8 weeks post-challenge with a single inoculation of 106 organisms.
Assessment of gastric H. pylori infection
The presence of H. pylori organisms in gastric tissue was determined by
culture
of gastric tissue and by a quantitative urease assay. In the latter method, a
longitudinal
segment of antrum, representing approximately '/4 of the total antral region
was placed in
1 ml of urea broth. After 4 hr, the extent of color change resulting from urea
hydrolysis
and increased pH was quantiated by spectrophotometric measurement of A550 (Fox
et
al., Immunol. 88:400-406, I996). The assay sensitivity is ~ 103 H. pylori
organisms. A
positive (H pylori-infected) gastric tissue was defined as that sample showing
2
standard deviations above the mean A550 value derived from a group of
unchallenged
uninfected age-matched control mice.
Assessment of local immune response to immunization in gastric tissue
Longitudinal sections of gastric tissues from the esophageal to the duodenal
junction were embedded in OCT embedding compound, frozen in liquid nitrogen,
and
cryosections immunostained with monoclonal antibodies recognizing CD4+ or
CD8+T
cells or with antisera against mouse IgA for identification of IgA containing
(IgACC)
plasma cells (Pappo et al., Infect. Immun. 63:1246-1252, 1995). The degree of
local
gastric immune response was expressed quantitatively as the number of CD4+~
CD8+ or
IgACC cells per mm2 of gastric region examined.
Protective activity of purified recombinant Hwlori vac36 antigen
The ability of purified recombinant vac36 antigen derived from H. pylori to
interfere with the establishment of an H. pylori infection was examined in
mice. Groups
(n=I O) of 6-8 week-old female C57BL/6 mice were immunized orally 4 times at
weekly
intervals as follows: 1 ) 100 ~g of recombinant vac36 antigen and 10 ~g
cholera toxin
(CT) adjuvant, 2) I mg H. pylori lysate antigens and 10 ~.g CT, and 3) 0.2 M

bicarbonate buffer and 10 ug CT adjuvant. The mice were challenged 2 weeks
later on 3
consecutive days by oral administration of 108 H. pylori organisms. The
experiment
was terminated 2 weeks post-challenge, and the H. pylori infection level
assessed by
bacterial colony counts and by quantitative urease assays.
Oral immunization with vac36 antigen interfered with the establishment of H.
pylori infection upon challenge with live H. pylori organisms. Mice immunized
with
purified recombinant vac36 antigen exhibited a significantly lower level of
colonization
by H. pylori, as assessed by gastric urease activity and bacterial count
assays (Table 6).
Oral immunization with vac36 antigen also resulted in the generation of a
local
protective gastric immune response. Greater numbers of CD4+T cells and of
IgACC
were recruited in the gastric tissues of vac36-immunized mice when compared
with
unirnmunized H. pylori-infected mice (Table 7).

V. Seauence Variance Analysis of~enes in Helicobacterpvlori strains
Four genes were cloned and sequenced from several strains of H. pylori to
compare the DNA and deduced amino acid sequences. This information was used to
determine the sequence variation between the H. pylori strain, J99, and other
H. pylori
strains isolated from human patients.
Preparation of Chromosomal DNA.
Cultures of H. pylori strains (as listed in Table 10) were grown in BLBB ( 1
Tryptone, 1 % Peptamin 0.1 % Glucose, 0.2% Yeast Extract 0.5% Sodium Chloride,
5%
Fetal Bovine Serum) to an OD600 of 0.2. Cells were centrifuged in a Sorvall RC-
3B at
3500 x g at 4°C for 15 minutes and the pellet resuspended in 0.95 mls
of 10 mM Tris-
HCI, 0.1 mM EDTA (TE). Lysozyme was added to a final concentration of 1 mg/ml
along with, SDS to 1 % and RNAse A + T 1 to 0.5mg/ml and 5 units/mI
respectively, and
incubated at 37°C for one hour. Proteinase K was then added to a final
concentration of
0.4mg/ml and the sample was incubated at 55 C for more than one hour. NaCI was
added to the sample to a concentration of 0.65 M, mixed carefully, and 0.15 mI

CTAB in 0.7M NaCL (final is 1 % CTAB/70mM NaCL) was added followed by
incubation at 65°C for 20 minutes. At this point, the samples were
extracted with
chloroform:isoamyl alcohol, extracted with phenol, and extracted again with
chloroform:isoamyl alcohol. DNA was precipitated with either EtOH (I.5 x
volumes) or
isopropanol (0.6 x volumes) at -70°C for l Ominutes, washed in 70%
EtOH and
resuspended in TE.
PCR Amplification and cloning.
Genomic DNA prepared from twelve strains of Helicobacter pylori was used as
the source of template DNA for PCR amplification reactions (Current Protocols
in
Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., editors;
1994). To
amplify a DNA sequence containing an H. pylori ORF, genomic DNA (10 nanograms)
was introduced into a reaction vial containing 2 mM MgCl2, 1 micromolar
synthetic
oligonucleotide primers (forward and reverse primers, see Table 8)
complementary to
and flanking a defined H. pylori ORF, 0.2 mM of each deoxynucleotide
triphosphate;
dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP and 0.5 units of heat stable DNA polymerase (Amplitaq,
Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., Branchburg, NJ, USA) in a final volume of 20
microliters in duplicate reactions.

Upon completion of thermal cycling reactions, each pair of samples were
25 combined and used directly for cloning into the pCR cloning vector as

Cloning of H. pylori DNA sequences into the pCR TA cloning vector.
All amplified inserts were cloned into the pCR 2.1 vector by the method
described in the Original TA cloning kit (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA). Products
of the
ligation reaction were then used to transform the TOP10F' (INVaF' in the case
ofH.

sequences according to standard methods (Current Protocols in Molecular
Biology, John
Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., editors, 1994). Briefly, 2

micromolar BME was added to each vial of 50 microliters of competent cells.
Subsequently, 2 microliters of ligation reaction was mixed with the competent
cells and
incubated on ice for 30 minutes. The cells and ligation mixture were then
subjected to a
"heat shock" at 42°C for 30 seconds, and were subsequently placed on
ice for an
additional 2 minutes, after which, samples were incubated in 0.45 milliliters
SOC
medium (0.5% yeast extract, 2.0 % tryptone, 10 mM NaCI, 2.5 mM KCI, 10 mM
MgCl2, 10 mM MgS04 and 20, mM glucose) at 37°C with shaking for 1 hour.
Samples
were then spread on LB agar plates containing 25 microgram/ml kanamycin
sulfate or
100 micrograms/ml ampicillan for growth overnight. Transformed colonies of
TOP10F'
or INVaF' were then picked and analyzed to evaluate cloned inserts as
described below.
Identification of recombinant PCR plasmids carrying H. pylori sequences
Individual TOP10F' or INVaF' clones transformed with recombinant pCR-
H.pylori ORFs were analyzed by PCR amplification of the cloned inserts using
the same
forwardand reverse primers, specific for each H. pylori sequence, that were
used in the
original PCR amplification cloning reactions. Successful amplification
verified the
integration of the H. pylori sequences in the cloning vector (Current
Protocols in
Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., editors,
1994).
Individual clones of recombinant pCR vectors carrying properly cloned H.
pylori
ORFs were picked for sequence analysis. Sequence analysis was performed on ABI
Sequencers using standard protocols (Perkin Elmer) using vector-specific
primers (as
found in PCRII or pCR2.l, Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) and sequencing primers
specific
to the ORF as listed in Table 9 below.

Results
To establish the PCR error rate in these experiments, five individual clones
of
Protein 26054702, prepared from five separate PCR reaction mixtures from H.
pylori
strain J99, were sequenced over a total length of 897 nucleotides for a
cumulative total
of 4485 bases of DNA sequence. DNA sequence for the five clones was compared
to a
DNA sequence obtained previously by a different method, i.e., random shotgun
cloning
and sequencing. The PCR error rate for the experiments described herein was
determined to be 2 base changes out of 4485 bases, which is equivalent to an
estimated
error rate of less than or equal to 0.04%.
l 0 DNA sequence analysis was performed on four different open reading frames
identified as genes and amplified by PCR methods from a dozen different
strains of the
bacterium Helicobacter pylori. The deduced amino acid sequences of three of
the four
open reading frames that were selected for this study showed statistically
significant
BLAST homology to defined proteins present in other bacterial species. Those
ORFs
included: Protein 26054702, homologous to the val A & B genes encoding an ABC
transporter in F. novicida; Protein 7116626, homologous to lipoprotein a (P4)
present in
the outer membrane of H. influenzae; Protein 29479681, homologous to fecA, an
outer
membrane receptor in iron (III) dicitrate transport in E. toll. Protein 346
was identified
as an unknown open reading frame, because it showed low homology with
sequences in
the public databases.
To assess the extent of conservation or variance in the ORFs across various
strains of H. pylori, changes in DNA sequence and the deduced protein sequence
were
compared to the DNA and deduced protein sequences found in the J99 strain of
H.
pylori (see Table 10 below). Results are presented as percent identity to the
J99 strain of
H. pylori sequenced by random shotgun cloning. To control for any variations
in the
J99 sequence each of the four open reading frames were cloned and sequenced
again
from the J99 bacterial strain and that sequence information was compared to
the
sequence information that had been collected from inserts cloned by random
shotgun
sequencing of the J99 strain. The data demonstrate that there is variation in
the DNA
sequence ranging from as little as 0.12 % difference (Protein 346, J99 strain)
to
approximately 7% change (Protein 26054702, strain AHS). The deduced protein
sequences show either no variation ( Protein 346, strains AH 18 and AH24) or
up to as
much as 7.66% amino acid changes (Protein 26054702, Strain AHS).

VI. Experimental Knock-Out Protocol for the Determination of Essential H.
pylori
Genes as Potential Ther~eutic Tarp
Therapeutic targets are chosen from genes wh ose protein products appear to
play
key roles in essential cell pathways such as cell envelope synthesis, DNA
synthesis,
transcription, translation, regulation and colonization/virulence.
The protocol for the deletion of portions of H. pylori genes/ORFs and the
insertional mutagenesis of a kanamycin-resistance cassette in order to
identify genes
which are essential to the cell is modified from previously published methods
(Labigne-
Roussel et al., 1988, J. Bacteriology 170, pp. 1704-1708; Cover et a1.,1994,
J. Biological

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1

Chemistry 269, pp. 10566-10573; Reyrat et al., 1995, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
92, pp
8768-8772). The result is a gene "knock-out."
Identification and Cloning of H. pylori Gene Sequences
The sequences of the genes or ORFs (open reading frames) selected as knock-out
targets are identified from the H. pylori genomic sequence and used to design
primers to
specifically amplify the genes/ORFs. All synthetic oligonucleotide primers are
designed
with the aid of the OLIGO program (National Biosciences, Inc., Plymouth, MN
55447,
USA), and can be purchased from Gibco/BRL Life Technologies (Gaithersburg, MD,
USA). If the ORF is smaller than 800 to 1000 base pairs, flanking primers are
chosen
outside of the open reading frame.
Genomic DNA prepared from the Helicobacter pylori HpJ99 strain (ATCC
55679; deposited by Genome Therapeutics Corporation, 100 Beaver Street,
Waitham,
MA 02154) is used as the source of template DNA for amplification of the ORFs
by
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John
Wiley
and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., editors, 1994). For the preparation of
genomic DNA
from H. pylori, see Example I. PCR amplification is carried out by introducing
10
nanograms of genomic HpJ99 DNA into a reaction vial containing 10 mM Tris pH
8.3,
50 mM KCI, 2 mM MgCl2, 2 microMolar synthetic oligonucleotide primers
(forward=F 1 and reverse=R 1 ), 0.2 mM of each deoxynucleotide triphosphate
(dATP,dGTP, dCTP, dTTP), and 1.25 units of heat stable DNA polymerase
(Amplitaq,
Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., Branchburg, NJ, USA) in a final volume of 40
microliters. The PCR is carried out with Perkin Elmer Cetus/GeneAmp PCR System
9600 thermal cyclers.
Upon completion of thermal cycling reactions, each sample of amplified DNA is
visualized on a 2% TAE agarose gel stained with Ethidium Bromide (Current
Protocols
in Molecular Biology, John_Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., editors,
1994) to
determine that a single product of the expected size had resulted from the
reaction.
Amplified DNA is then washed and purified using the Qiaquick Spin PCR
purification
-- 30 kit (Qiagen, Gaithersburg, MD, USA).
PCR products a.e cloned into the pT7Blue T-Vector (catalog#69820-1, Novagen,
Inc., Madison, WI, USA) using the TA cloning strategy (Current Protocols in
Molecular
Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., editors, 1994). The
ligation of the
PCR product into the vector is accomplished by mixing a 6 fold molar excess of
the
PCR product, 10 ng of pT7Blue-T vector (Novagen), 1 microliter of T4 DNA
Ligase
Buffer (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA, USA), and 200 units of T4 DNA Ligase

-98-
(New England Biolabs) into a final reaction volume of 10 microliters. Ligation
is
allowed to proceed for 16 hours at 16°C.
Ligation products are electroporated (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology,
John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., editors, 1994) into
electroporation-
S competent XL-1 Blue or DHS-a E.coli cells (Clontech Lab., Inc. Palo Alto,
CA, USA).
Briefly, 1 microliter of ligation reaction is mixed with 40 microliters of
electrocompetent cells and subjected to a high voltage pulse (25 microFarads,
2.5 kV,
200 ohms) after which the samples are incubated in 0.45 ml SOC medium (0.5%
yeast
extract, 2% tryptone, 10 mM NaCI, 2.5 mM KCI, 10 mM MgCl2, 10 mM MgS04 and 20
mM glucose) at 37°C with shaking for 1 hour. Samples are then spread
onto LB ( 10 g/1
bacto tryptone, 5 g/1 bacto yeast extract, 10 g/1 sodium chloride) plates
containing 100
microgramlml of Ampicillin, 0.3% X-gal, and 100 microgram/ml IPTG. These
plates
are incubated overnight at 37°C. Ampicillin-resistant colonies with
white color are
selected, grown in 5 ml of liquid LB containing 100 microgramlml of
Ampicillin, and
plasmid DNA is isolated using the Qiagen miniprep protocol (Qiagen,
Gaithersburg,
MD, USA).
To verify that the correct H.pylori DNA inserts had been cloned, these pT7Blue
plasmid DNAs are used as templates for PCR amplification of the cloned
inserts, using
the same forward and reverse primers used for the initial amplification of the
J99
H.pylori sequence. Recognition of the primers and a PCR product of the correct
size as
visualized on a 2% TAE, ethidium bromide stained agarose gel are confirmation
that the
correct inserts had been cloned. Two to six such verified clones are obtained
for each
knock-out target, and frozen at -70°C for storage. To minimize errors
due to PCR,
plasmid DNA from these verified clones are pooled, and used in subsequent
cloning
steps.
The sequences of the genes/ORFs are again used to design a second pair of
primers which flank the region of H. pylori DNA to be either interrupted or
deleted (up
to 250 basepairs) within the ORFs but are oriented away from each other. The
pool of
circular plasmid DNAs of the previously isolated clones are used as templates
for this
round of PCR. Since the orientation of amplification of this pair of deletion
primers is
away from each other, the portion of the ORF between the prT mers is not
included in the
resultant PCR product. The PCR product is a linear piece of DNA with H. pylori
DNA
at each end and the pT7Blue vector backbone between them which, in essence,
resultes
in the deletion of a portion of the ORFs. The PCR product is visualized on a 1
% TAE,
ethidium bromide stained agarose gel to confirm that only a single product of
the correct
size has been amplified.

A Kanamycin-resistance cassette (Labigne-Roussel et al., 1988 J. Bacteriology
170, 1704-1708) is ligated to this PCR product by the TA cloning method used
previously (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc.,
F.
Ausubel et al., editors, 1994). The Kanamycin cassette containing a
Campylobacter
kanamycin resistance gene is obtained by carrying out an EcoRI digestion of
the
recombinant plasmid pCTBB:kan (Cover et al.,1994, J. Biological Chemistry 269,
pp.
10566-10573). The proper fragment (1.4 kb) is isolated on a 1% TAE gel, and
isolated
using the QIAquick gel extractionkit (Qiagen, Gaithersburg, MD, USA). The
fragment
is end repaired using the Klenow fill-in protocol, which involved mixing 4ug
of the
DNA fragment, 1 microliter of dATP,dGTP, dCTP, dTTP at 0.5 mM, 2 microliter of
Klenow Buffer (New England Biolabs) and 5 units of Klenow DNA Polymerase I
Large
(Klenow) Fragment (New England Biolabs) into a 20 microliter reaction,
incubating at
30°C for 15 min, and inactivating the enzyme by heating to 75°C
for 10 minutes. This
blunt-ended Kanamycin cassette is then purified through a Qiaquick column
(Qiagen,
Gaithersburg, MD, USA) to eliminate nucleotides. The "T" overhang is then
generated
by mixing 5 micrograms of the blunt-ended kanamycin cassette, 10 mM Tris pH
8.3, SO
mM KCI, 2 mM MgCl2, S units of DNA Polymerase (Amplitaq, Roche Molecular
Systems, Inc., Branchburg, NJ, USA), 20 microliters of S mM dTTP, in a 100
microliter
reaction and incubating the reaction for 2 hours at 37°C. The "Kan-T"
cassette is
purified using a QIAquick column (Qiagen, Gaithersburg, MD, USA). The PCR
product of the deletion primers (F2 and R2) is ligated to the Kan-T cassette
by mixing
10 to 25 ng of deletion primer PCR product, SO - 75 ng Kan-T cassette DNA, 1
microliter l Ox T4 DNA Ligase reaction mixture, 0.5 microliter T4 DNA Ligase
(New
England Biolabs, Beverly, MA, USA) in a 10 microliter reaction and incubating
for 16
hours at 16°C.
The ligation products are transformed into XL-1 Blue or DHS-a E. col i cells
by
electroporation as described previously. After recovery in SOC, cells are
plated onto LB
plates containing 100 microgram/ml Ampicillin and grown overnight at
37°C. These
plates are then replica plated onto plates containing 25 microgram/mI
Kanamycin and
allowed to grow overnight. Resultant colonies have both the Ampicillin
resistance gene
present in the pT7Blue vector, .uud the newly introduced Kanamycin resistance
gene.
Colonies are picked into LB containing 25 microgram/ml Kanamycin and plasmid
DNA
is isolated from the cultured cells using the Qiagen miniprep protocol
(Qiagen,
Gaithersburg, MD, USA).
Several tests by PCR amplification are conducted on these plasmids to verify
that
the Kanamycin is inserted in the H. pylori gene/ORF, and to determine the
orientation of
the insertion of the Kanamycin-resistance gene relative to the H. pylori
gene/ORF. To

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104

verify that the Kanamycin cassette is inserted into the H. pylori sequence,
the plasmid
DNAs are used as templates for PCR amplification with the set of primers
originally
used to clone the H. pylori gene/ORFs. The correct PCR product is the size of
the
deleted gene/ORF but increased in size by the addition of a 1.4 kilobase
Kanamycin
cassette. To avoid potential polar effects of the kanamycin resistance
cassette on H.
pylori gene expression, the orientation of the Kanamycin resistance gene with
respect to
the knock-out gene/ORF is determined and both orientations are eventually used
in H.
pylori transformations (see below). To determine the orientation of insertion
of the
kanamycin resistance gene, primers are designed from the ends of the kanamycin
resistance gene ("Kan-1" S'-ATCTTACCTATCACCTCAAAT-3' (SEQ ID N0:255)),
and "Kan-2" 5'-AGACAGGAACATCTTTGTGAA-3' (SEQ ID N0:256)). By using
each of the cloning primers in conjunction with each of the Kan primers (4
combinations
of primers), the orientation of the Kanamycin cassette relative to the
H.pylori sequence
is determined. Positive clones are classified as either in the "A" orientation
(the same
direction of transcription is present for both the H. pylori gene and the
Kanamycin
resistance gene), or in the "B" orientation (the direction of transcription
for the H.pylori
gene is opposite to that of the Kanamycin resistance gene). Clones which share
the
same orientation (A or B) are pooled for subsequent experiments and
independently
transformed into H. pylori.
Transformation of Plasmid DNA into H. pylori cells
Two strains of H. pylori are used for transformation: ATCC 55679, the clinical
isolate which provided the DNA from which the H. pylori sequence database is
obtained, and AH244, an isolate which had been passaged in, and has the
ability to
colonize the mouse stomach. Cells for transformation are grown at 37°C,
10% C02,
100% humidity, either on Sheep-Blood agar plates or in Brucella Broth liquid.
Cells are
grown to exponential phase, and examined microscopically to determine that the
cells
are "healthy" (actively moving cells) and not contaminated. If grown on
plates, cells are
- 30 harvested by scraping cells from the plate with a sterile loop, suspended
in 1 ml of
'3rucella Broth, spun down ( 1 minute, top speed in eppendorf microfuge) and
resuspended in 200 microliters Brucella Broth. If grown in Brucella Broth
liquid, cells
are centrifuged (15 minutes at 3000 rpm in a Beckman TJ6 centrifuge) and the
cell pellet
. resuspended in 200 microliters of Brucella broth. An aliquot of cells is
taken to
determine the optical density at 600 nm, in order to calculate the
concentration of cells.
An aliquot ( 1 to 5 OD6oo units/25 microliter) of the resuspended cells is
placed onto a
prewarmed Sheep-Blood agar plate, and the plate is further incubated at
37°C, 6% C02,

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98124475 PCT/US97/22104
-101-
100% humidity for 4 hours. After this incubation, 10 microliters of plasmid
DNA ( 100
micrograms per microliter) is spotted onto these cells. A positive control
(plasmid DNA
with the ribonuclease H gene disrupted by kanamycin resistance gene) and a
negative
control (no plasmid DNA) are done in parallel. The plates are returned to
37°C, 6% C02
for an additional 4 hours of incubation. Cells are then spread onto that plate
using a
swab wetted in Brucella broth, and grown for 20 hours at 37°C, 6% C02.
Cells are then
transferred to a Sheep-Blood agar plate containing 25 micrograms/ml Kanamycin,
and
allowed to grow for 3 to S days at 37°C, 6% C02, I 00% humidity. If
colonies appear,
they are picked and regrown as patches on a fresh Sheep-Blood agar plate
containing 25
micrograms/ml Kanamycin.
Three sets of PCR tests are done to verify that the colonies of transformants
have
arisen from homologous recombination at the proper chromosomal location. The
template for PCR (DNA from the colony) is obtained by a rapid boiling DNA
preparation method as follows. An aliquot of the colony (stab of the colony
with a
I S toothpick) is introduced into 100 microliters of 1% Triton X-100, 20 mM
Tris, pH 8.5,
and boiled for 6 minutes. An equal volume of phenol : chloroform (1:1 ) is
added and
vortexed. The mixture is microfuged for 5 minutes and the supernatant is used
as DNA
template for PCR with combinations of the following primers to verify
homologous
recombination at the proper chromosomal location.
TEST 1. PCR with cloning primers originally used to amplify the gene/ORF. A
positive result of homologous recombination at the correct chromosomal
location should
show a single PCR product whose size is expected to be the size of the deleted
gene/ORF but increased in size by the addition of a 1.4 kilobase Kanamycin
cassette. A
PCR product of just the size of the gene/ORF is proof that the gene had not
been
knocked out and that the transformant is not the result of homologous
recombination at
the correct chromosome location.
TEST 2. PCR with F3 (primer designed from sequences upstream of the
gene/ORF and not present on the plasmid), and either primer Kan-1 or Kan-2
(primers
designed from the ends of the kanamycin resistance gene), depending on whether
the
plasmid DNA used was of "A" or "B" orientation. Homologous recombination at
the
correct chromosomal location will result in a single PCR product of the
expected s~ze
(i.e., from the location of F3 to the insertion site of kanamycin resistance
gene). No
PCR product or PCR products) of incorrect sizes) will prove that the plasmid
had not
integrated at the correct site and that the gene had not been knocked out.
TEST 3. PCR with R3 (primer designed from sequences downstream of the
gene/ORF and not present on the plasmid) and either primer Kan-1 or Kan-2,
depending
on whether the plasmid DNA used was of "A" or "B" orientation. Homologous

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
-102-
recombination at the correct chromosomal location will result in a single PCR
product of
the expected size (i.e., from the insertion site of kanamycin resistance gene
to the
downstream location of R3). Again, no PCR product or PCR products) of
incorrect
sizes) will prove that the plasmid had not integrated at the correct site and
that the gene
had not been knocked out.
Transformants showing positive results for all three tests above indicate that
the
gene is not essential for survival in vitro.
A negative result in any of_the three above tests for each transformant
indicates
that the gene had not been disrupted, and that the gene is essential for
survival in vitro.
In the event that no colonies result from two independent transformations
while
the positive control with the disrupted ribonuclease H plasmid DNA produces
transformants, the plasmid DNA is further analyzed by PCR on DNA from
transformant
populations prior to plating for colony formation. This will verify that the
plasmid can
enter the cells and undergo homologous recombination at the correct site.
Briefly,
plasmid DNA is incubated according to the transformation protocol described
above.
DNA is extracted from the H. pylori cells immediately after incubation with
the plasmid
DNAs and the DNA is used as template for the above TEST 2 and TEST 3. Positive
results in TEST 2 and TEST 3 would verify that the plasmid DNA could enter the
cells
and undergo homologous recombination at the correct chromosomal location. If
TEST
2 and TEST 3 are positive, then failure to obtain viable transformants
indicates that the
gene is essential, and cells suffering a disruption in that gene are incapable
of colony
formation.
VII. High-throuehput drub screen assay
Cloning, expression and protein purification
Cloning, transformation, expression and purification of the H. pylori target
gene
and its protein product,e.g., an X. pylori enzyme, to be used in a high-
throughput drug
screen assay, is carned out essentially as described in Examples II and III
above.
Development and application of a screening assay for a particular H. pylori
gene
product, peptidyl-propyl cis-traps isomerase, is described below as a specific
example.
Enzymatic Assay
The assay is essentially as described by Fisher (Fischer, G., et.al. ( 1984)
Biomed.
Biochim. Acta 43:1101-1111). The assay measures the cis-traps isomerization
ofthe
Ala-Pro bond in the test peptide N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilide
(Sigma # S-
7388, lot # 84H5805). The assay is coupled with a-chymotrypsin, where the
ability of
the protease to cleave the test peptide occurs only when the Ala-Pro bond is
in traps.
The conversion of the test peptide to the traps isomer in the assay is
followed at 390 nm

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
- 103 -
on a Beckman Model DU-650 spectophotometer. The data are collected every
second
with an average scanning of time of 0.5 second. Assays are carried out in 35
mM
Hepes, pH 8.0, in a final volume of 400 ul, with 10 p.M a,-chymotrypsin (type
I -5 from
bovine Pancreas, Sigma # C-7762, lot 23H7020) and 10 nM PPIase. To initiate
the
reaction, 10 p l of the substrate ( 2 mM N-Succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-
nitroanilide in
DMSO) is added to 390 ~l of reaction mixture at room temperature.
Enzymatic assay in crude bacterial extract.
A 50 ml culture of Helicobacter pylori (strain J99) in Brucella broth is
harvested
at mid-log phase (OD 60o nm ~ 1 ) and resuspended in lysis buffer with the
following
protease inhibitors: 1 mM PMSF, and 10 pg/ml of each of aprotinin; leupeptin,
pepstatine, TLCK, TPCK, and soybean trypsin inhibitor. The suspension is
subjected to
3 cycles of freeze-thaw ( I 5 minutes at -70 ° C, then 30 minutes at
room temperature),
followed by sonication (three 20 second bursts). The lysate is centrifuged (
12,000 g x
30 minutes) and the supernatant is assayed for enzymatic activity as described
above.
Many H. pylori enzymes can be expressed at high levels and in an active form
in
E. coli. Such high yields of purified proteins provide for the design of
various high
throughput drug screening assays.
VIII. Truncated gene expression and protein production
Identification, cloning and expression of recombinant Helicobacter pylori
sequences.
To facilitate the cloning, expression and purification of membrane proteins
from
H. pylori, the pET gene expression system. (Novagen), for cloning and
expression of
recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli was selected. Further, for proteins
that have a
signal sequence at their amino-terminal end, a DNA sequence encoding a peptide
tag
(His-tag) was fused to the 5' end of the H. pylori DNA sequences of interest
in order to
facilitate purification of the recombinant protein products. In some cases,
the DNA
sequence was cloned in frame with the glutathione-S-transferase-protein to
produce a
GST-fusion protein. The vectors used in this case were the pGEX series from
Pharmacia LKB (Uppsala, Sweden).
PCR amplification and cloning of DNA sequences containing ORFs for membrane
and
secreted proteins from the J99 strain of Helicobacter pylori.
The sequences chosen (from the list of the DNA sequences of the invention) for
cloning from H. pylori strain J99 were prepared for amplification cloning by
the
polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Synthetic oligonucleotide primers for the ORF
of
interest (Table 11 ) specific for the predicted mature 5' end of the ORF and
either

- 104 -
downstream (3') of the predicted translational termination codon or at
specific points
within the coding region were designed and purchased (GibcoBRL Life
Technologies,
Gaithersburg, MD, USA). All forward primers (specific for the 5' terminus of
the
region of ORF of interest) were designed to include either a BamHI or a NdeI
restriction
site. These primers within the NdeI restriction site sequence were designed to
permit the
initiation of protein translation at a methionine residue (encoded within the
Ndei
restriction site sequence, in the case of producing a non His-tagged
recombinant protein)
or to fuse in frame with the DNA sequence encoding the His-tag (for producing
His
tagged recombinant protein), followed by the coding sequence for the remainder
of the
native H. pylori DNA. The primer with the BamHI restriction site was produced
to fuse
the H. pylori specific sequence in-frame with the C-terminus of the
glutathione-S-
transferase gene in the pGEX vectors (Pharmacia LKB, Uppsala, Sweden}. All
reverse
oligonucleotide primers designed to include an EcoRI restriction site at the
5' terminus.
Several reverse oligonucleotide primers were selected that would cause a
truncation of
the polypeptide to remove certain portions of the C-terminus, and in these
cases the
EcoRI restriction site at the 5' end was followed by a translational
termination codon.
This combination of primers would enable the ORF of interest (or parts of the
ORF of
interest) to be cloned into pET28b (to produce a His-tagged recombinant
protein),
pET30a (to produce a non His tagged or native recombinant protein) or the pGEX-
4T or
pGEX-SX series (to produce a GST fusion protein). The pET28b vector provides
sequence encoding an additional 20 amino-terminal amino acids (plus the
methionine in
the NdeI restriction site) including a stretch of six histidine residues which
makes up the
His-tag, whereas the pGEX vectors fuse the H. pylori protein to a 26,OOODa
glutathione-
S-transferase protein.
Genomic DNA prepared from H. pylori strain J99 (ATCC 55679) was used as
the source of template DNA for the PCR amplification reactions (Current
Protocols in
Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
To
amplify a DNA sequence containing a specific H. pylori ORF, genomic DNA (50
nanograms) was introduced into a reaction tube containing 200 nanograms of
both the
forward and reverse synthetic oligonucleotide primer specific for the ORF of
interest,
and 45 microliters of PCR SuperMix purchased (GibcoBRL Life Technologies,
Gaithersburg, MD, USA) in a total of 50 microliters. The PCR SuperMix is
supplied in
1.1X concentrations and contains 22mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.4), SSmM KCI, 1.65mM
MgCl2, 220 micromolar of each dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP, 22units recombinant
Taq polymerase/mI and stabilizers. The following thermal cycling conditions
were used
to obtain amplified DNA products for each ORF using a Perkin Elmer
Cetus/GeneAmp
PCR System thermal cycler.

I 0 Upon completion of the thermal cycling reactions, each sample of amplified
DNA was subjected to electrophoresis on 1.0% agarose gels. The DNA was
visualized
by exposure to ethidium bromide and long wave UV irradiation, and cut out in
gel
slices. DNA was purified using the Wizard PCR Preps kit (Promega Corp.,

WI, USA), and then subjected to digestion with BamHI and EcoRI (Current
Protocols in
Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
The

Ligation of H. pylori DNA sequences into cloning vectors
The pOKl2 vector (J. Vieira and J. Messing, Gene 100:189-194, 1991) was
prepared for cloning by digestion with BamHI and EcoRI or NdeI and EcoRI in
the case
of Vac41 (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc.,

amplified H. pylori ORF, the products of the ligation reaction were
transformed into E.
col i JM 109 competent cells according to standard methods (Current Protocols
in
Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
Individual
bacterial colonies were screened for those containing the correct recombinant
plasmids
by incubating in LB broth overnight (plus 25ug/ml kanamycin sulfate) followed
by
plasmid DNA preparation using the Magic Minipreps system (Promega Corp.,
Madison
WI, USA), and Then analyzed by restriction digestion (Current Protocols in
Molecular
Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
Cloning of H. pylori DNA sequences into the pET28b, pET30a and pGEX4T 3
prokaryotic expression vectors
Both the pET28b and pET30a expression vectors were prepared for cloning by
digestion with NdeI and EcoRI, and the pGEX4T-3 vector was prepared for
cloning by
digestion with BamHI and EcoRI (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John
Wiley
and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994). The H. pylori DNA sequences
were
removed from pOKl2 plasmid backbones by digestion with NdeI and EcoRI or BamHI
and EcoRI (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc.,
F.
Ausubel et al., eds., 1994). The pET28b, pET30a, pGEX4T-3 and H. pylori DNA
sequences were all electrophoresed on a 1 % agarose gel and purified using the
Wizard
PCR Preps kit (Promega Corp., Madison WI, USA). Following ligation of the
purified,
digested expression vector and the purified, digested H. pylori DNA sequences,
the
products of the ligation reaction were transformed into E. coli JM 109
competent cells
(Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel
et al.,
eds., 1994). Individual bacterial colonies were screened for those containing
the correct
recombinant plasmids by preparing plasmid DNA as described above followed by
analysis by restriction digestion profiles and DNA sequencing (Current
Protocols in
Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
These
recombinant plasmids were then used to transform specific E. coli expression
strains.
Transformation of competent bacteria with recombinant expression plasmids
Competent bacterial strains BL21 (I~~E3), BL21 (DE3)pLysS, HMS 174(DE3) and
HMS 174(DE3)pLysS were prepared and transformed with the recombinant pET28b
expression plasmids carrying the cloned H. pylori sequences according to
standard
methods (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F.
3 5 Ausubel et al., eds., 1994). These expression host strains contain a
chromosomal copy
of the gene for T7 RNA polymerise. These hosts are lysogens of bacteriophage
DE3, a
lambda derivative that carries the lacl gene, the IacUVS promoter and the gene
for T7

CA 02273199 1999-06-O1
WO 98/24475 PCT/US97/22104
- 107 -
RNA polymerase. T7 RNA polymerase expression is induced by the addition of
isopropyl-(3-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG), and the T7 RNA polymerase then
transcribes any
taget plasmid, such as pET28b, that carnes a T7 promoter sequence and a gene
of
interest.
Competent bacterial strains JM109 and DHSa were prepared and transformed
with the recombinant pGEX4T-3 expression plasmid carrying the cloned H. pylori
sequences according to standard methods (Current Protocols in Molecular
Biology, John
Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
Expression of recombinant H. pylori sequences in E coli
Transformants were collected from LB agar plates containing 25ug/ml
kanamycin sulfate (ensures maintenance of the pET28b-based recombinant
plasmids) or
100ug/ml ampicillin (ensures maintenance of the pGEX4T-3-based recombinant
plasmids) and used to inoculate LB broth containing 25ug/ml kanamycin sulfate
or
1 OOug/ml ampicillin and grown to an optical density at 600nm of 0.5 to 1.0 OD
units, at
which point 1 mM IPTG was added to the culture for one to three hours to
induce gene
expression of the H. pylori recombinant DNA constructions. After induction of
gene
expression with IPTG, bacteria were pelleted by centrifugation and resuspended
in SDS-
PAGE solubilization buffer and subjected to SDS-PAGE (Current Protocols in
Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel et al., eds., 1994).
Proteins
were visualized by staining with Coomassie Brilliant Blue or detected by
western
immunoblotting using the specific anti-His tag monoclonal antibody (Clontech,
Palo
Alto, CA, USA) or the anti-GST tag antibody (Pharmacia LKB) using standard
methods
(Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., F. Ausubel
et al.,
eds., 1994)) The host strain that provided the highest level of recombinant
protein
production was then chosen for use in a large-scale induction in order to
purify the
recombinant protein. The strains used were HMS 174(DE3) (pET28b-based
constructs)
and DHSa (pGEX4T-3-based constructs).
Removal of the C-terminal regions appeared in both systems to improve the
level
of expression, although this increase was far more prominent in the GST-fusion
system.
All recombi~ pant proteins produced were of the predicted molecular weight
based on the
DNA sequence plus, if necessary, the size of the fusion tag. The truncated
portion of the
H. pylori protein contains some extremely hydrophobic stretches, and removal
of these
may be the reason for the increased expression.
