Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates generally to the
identification and isolation of novel DNA and to the recombinant
production of novel polypeptides.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Extracellular proteins play important roles in, among other
things, the formation, differentiation and maintenance of
multicellular organisms. The fate of many individual cells, e.g.,
proliferation, migration, differentiation, or interaction with
other cells, is typically governed by information received from
other cells and/or the immediate environment. This information is
often transmitted by secreted polypeptides (for instance, mitogenic
factors, survival factors, cytotoxic factors, differentiation
factors, neuropeptides, and hormones) which are, in turn, received
and interpreted by diverse cell receptors or membrane-bound
proteins. These secreted polypeptides or signaling molecules
normally pass through the cellular secretory pathway to reach their
site of action in the extracellular environment.
[0003] Secreted proteins have various industrial applications,
including as pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, biosensors and
bioreactors. Most protein drugs available at present, such as
thrombolytic agents, interferons, interleukins, erythropoietins,
colony stimulating factors, and various other cytokines, are
secretory proteins. Their receptors, which are membrane proteins,
also have potential as therapeutic or diagnostic agents. Efforts
are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new,
native secreted proteins. Many efforts are focused on the screening
of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding
sequences for novel secreted proteins. Examples of screening
methods and techniques are described in the literature [see, for
example, Klein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 93:7108-7113 (1996);
U.S. Pat. No. 5,536,637)].
[0004] Membrane-bound proteins and receptors can play important
roles in, among other things, the formation, differentiation and
maintenance of multicellular organisms. The fate of many individual
cells, e. g., proliferation, migration, differentiation, or
interaction with other cells, is typically governed by information
received from other cells and/or the immediate environment. This
information is often transmitted by secreted polypeptides (for
instance, mitogenic factors, survival factors, cytotoxic factors,
differentiation factors, neuropeptides, and hormones) which are, in
turn, received and interpreted by diverse cell receptors or
membrane-bound proteins. Such membrane-bound proteins and cell
receptors include, but are not limited to, cytokine receptors,
receptor kinases, receptor phosphatases, receptors involved in
cell-cell interactions, and cellular adhesin molecules like
selectins and integrins. For instance, transduction of signals that
regulate cell growth and differentiation is regulated in part by
phosphorylation of various cellular proteins. Protein tyrosine
kinases, enzymes that catalyze that process, can also act as growth
factor receptors. Examples include fibroblast growth factor
receptor and nerve growth factor receptor.
[0005] Membrane-bound proteins and receptor molecules have various
industrial applications, including as pharmaceutical and diagnostic
agents. Receptor immunoadhesins, for instance, can be employed as
therapeutic agents to block receptor-ligand interactions. The
membrane-bound proteins can also be employed for screening of
potential peptide or small molecule inhibitors of the relevant
receptor/ligand interaction.
[0006] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native receptor or membrane-bound proteins. Many
efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA
libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel receptor or
membrane-bound proteins.
[0007] 1. PRO281
[0008] A novel gene designated testis enhanced gene transcript
(TEGT) has recently been identified in humans (Walter et al.,
Genomics 20:301-304 (1995)). Recent results have shown that TEGT
protein is developmentally regulated in the mammalian testis and
possesses a nuclear targeting motif that allows the protein to
localize to the nucleus (Walter et al., Mamm. Genome 5:216-221
(1994)). As such, it is believed that the TEGT protein plays an
important role in testis development. There is, therefore,
substantial interest in identifying and characterizing novel
polypeptides having homology to the TEGT protein. We herein
describe the identification and characterization of novel
polypeptides having homology to TEGT protein, designated herein as
PRO281 polypeptides.
[0009] 2. PRO276
[0010] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these
efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA
libraries to identity the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound
proteins. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated
herein as PRO276 polypeptides.
[0011] 3. PRO189
[0012] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native secreted proteins. Many of these efforts
are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries
to identify the coding sequences for novel secreted proteins. We
herein describe the identification and characterization of novel
secreted polypeptides, designated herein as PRO189
polypeptides.
[0013] 4. PRO190
[0014] Of particular interest are proteins having seven
transmembrane domains (7TM), or more generally, all multiple
transmembrane spanning proteins. Among multiple transmembrane
spanning proteins are ion channels and transporters. Examples of
transporters are the UDP-galactose transporter described in Ishida,
et al., J. Biochem., 120(6): 1074-1078 (1996), and the CMP-sialic
acid transporter described in Eckhardt, et al., PNAS,
93(15):7572-7576 (1996). We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated
herein as PRO190 polypeptides.
[0015] 5. PRO341
[0016] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these
efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA
libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound
proteins. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated
herein as PRO341 polypeptides.
[0017] 6. PRO180
[0018] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these
efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA
libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound
proteins. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated
herein as PRO180 polypeptides.
[0019] 7. PRO194
[0020] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these
efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA
libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound
proteins. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated
herein as PRO194 polypeptides.
[0021] 8. PRO203
[0022] Enzymatic proteins play important roles in the chemical
reactions involved in the digestion of foods, the biosynthesis of
macromolecules, the controlled release and utilization of chemical
energy, and other processes necessary to sustain life. ATPases are
a family of enzymes that play a variety of important roles,
including energizing transport of ions and molecules, across
cellular membranes. Transport mechanisms that employ ATPases often
involve excluding xeno- and endobiotic toxins from the cellular
environment, thereby protecting cells from toxicity of these
compounds. Lu et al. report a detoxification mechanism where
glutathione S-transferase (GST) catalyzes glutathionation of plant
toxins, and a specific Mg.sup.2+-ATPase is involved in the
transport of the glutathione S-conjugates from the cytosol. Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94(15):8243-8248 (1997). This study and others
indicate the importance of the identification of ATPases, such as
GST ATPases, and of novel proteins having sequence identity with
ATPases.
[0023] More generally, and also of interest are novel
membrane-bound proteins, including those which may be involved in
the transport of ions and molecules across membranes.
Membrane-bound proteins and receptors can play an important role in
the formation, differentiation and maintenance of multicellular
organisms. The fate of many individual cells, e.g., proliferation,
migration, differentiation, or interaction with other cells, is
typically governed by information received from other cells and/or
the immediate environment. This information is often transmitted by
secreted polypeptides (for instance, mitogenic factors, survival
factors, cytotoxic factors, differentiation factors, neuropeptides,
and hormones) which are, in turn, received and interpreted by
diverse cell receptors or membrane-bound proteins. Such
membrane-bound proteins and cell receptors include, but are not
limited to, cytokine receptors, receptor kinases, receptor
phosphatases, receptors involved in cell-cell interactions, and
cellular adhesin molecules like selectins and integrins. For
instance, transduction of signals that regulate cell growth and
differentiation is regulated in part by phosphorylation of various
cellular proteins. Protein tyrosine kinases, enzymes that catalyze
that process, can also act as growth factor receptors. Examples
include fibroblast growth factor receptor and nerve growth factor
receptor.
[0024] In light of the important physiological roles played by
ATPases and membrane-bound proteins efforts are being undertaken by
both industry and academia to identify new, native membrane-bound
proteins, and proteins having sequence identity to ATPases. We
herein describe the identification and characterization of novel
polypeptides having sequence identity to GST ATPase, designated
herein as PRO203 polypeptides.
[0025] 9. PRO290
[0026] Of particular interest are novel proteins and nucleic acids
which have sequence identity with known proteins and nucleic acids.
Proteins of interest which are well known in the art include
NTII-1, a nerve protein which facilitates regeneration, FAN, and
beige. Beige, or bg, is a murine analog related to Chediak-Higashi
Syndrome (CHS), a rare autosomal recessive disease in which
neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes contain giant cytoplasmic
granules. See Perou et al., J. Biol. Chem. 272(47):29790 (1997) and
Barbosa et al., Nature 382:262 (1996).
[0027] We herein describe the identification and characterization
of novel polypeptides having sequence identity to NTII-1, FAN and
beige, designated herein as PRO290 polypeptides.
[0028] 10. PRO874
[0029] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these
efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA
libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound
proteins. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated
herein as PRO194 polypeptides.
[0030] 11. PRO710
[0031] In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the chromatin structure of DNA
replication origins changes as cells become competent for DNA
replication, suggesting that G1 phase-specific association of
replication factors with origin DNA regulates entry into S phase
(Aparicio et al., Cell 91:59-69 (1997)). In fact, it has been shown
that the initiation of DNA replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
requires the protein product of the CDC45 gene which encodes a
protein that stays at relatively constant levels throughout the
cell cycle (Owens et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 94:12521-12526
(1997)). The CDC45 protein is part of a prereplication complex that
may move with DNA replication forks in yeast. Given the obvious
importance of the CDC45 protein in DNA replication, there is
significant interest in identifying and characterizing novel
polypeptides having homology to CDC45. We herein describe the
identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having
homology to the CDC45 protein, designated herein as PRO710
polypeptides.
[0032] 12. PRO1151
[0033] The complement proteins comprise a large group of serum
proteins some of which act in an enzymatic cascade, producing
effector molecules involved in inflammation. The complement
proteins are of particular importance in regulating movement and
function of cells involved in inflammation. One of the complement
proteins, C1q, has been shown to be involved in the recognition of
microbial surfaces and antibody-antigen complexes in the classical
pathway of complement (Shapiro et al., Curr. Biol. 8(6):335-338
(1998)).
[0034] Given the physiological importance of inflammation and
related mechanisms in vivo and in the specific physiological
activities of complement C1q protein, efforts are currently being
undertaken to identify new, native proteins which share sequence
similarity to the complement proteins. We herein describe the
identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having
homology to complement C1q protein, designated herein as PRO1151
polypeptides.
[0035] 13. PRO1282
[0036] All proteins containing leucine-rich repeats are thought to
be involved in protein-protein interactions. Leucine-rich repeats
are short sequence motifs present in a number of proteins with
diverse functions and cellular locations. The crystal structure of
ribonuclease inhibitor protein has revealed that leucine-rich
repeats correspond to beta-alpha structural units. These units are
arranged so that they form a parallel beta-sheet with one surface
exposed to solvent, so that the protein acquires an unusual,
nonglubular shape. These two features have been indicated as
responsible for the protein-binding functions of proteins
containing leucine-rich repeats. See, Kobe and Deisenhofer, Trends
Biochem. Sci., 19(10):415-421 (Oct. 1994); Kobe and Deisenhofer,
Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol., 5(3):409-416 (1995).
[0037] A study has been reported on leucine-rich proteoglycans
which serve as tissue organizers, orienting and ordering collagen
fibrils during ontogeny and are involved in pathological processes
such as wound healing, tissue repair, and tumor stroma formation.
lozzo, R. V., Crit. Rev. Biochem. Mol. Biol., 32(2):141-174 (1997).
Others studies implicating leucine rich proteins in wound healing
and tissue repair are De La Salle, C., et al., Vouv. Rev. Fr.
Hematol. (Germany), 37(4):215-222 (1995), reporting mutations in
the leucine rich motif in a complex associated with the bleeding
disorder Bernard-Soulier syndrome, Chlemetson, K. J., Thromb.
Haemost. (Germany), 74(1):111-116 (July 1995), reporting that
platelets have leucine rich repeats and Ruoslahti, E. I., et al.,
W09110727-A by La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation reporting that
decorin binding to transforming growth factors has involvement in a
treatment for cancer, wound healing and scarring. Related by
function to this group of proteins is the insulin like growth
factor (IGF), in that it is useful in wound-healing and associated
therapies concerned with re-growth of tissue, such as connective
tissue, skin and bone; in promoting body growth in humans and
animals; and in stimulating other growth-related processes. The
acid labile subunit of IGF (ALS) is also of interest in that it
increases the half-life of IGF and is part of the IGF complex in
vivo.
[0038] Another protein which has been reported to have leucine-rich
repeats is the SLIT protein which has been reported to be useful in
treating neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease,
nerve damage such as in Parlinson's disease, and for diagnosis of
cancer, see, Artavanistsakonas, S. and Rothberg, J. M.,
WO9210518-A1 by Yale University. Of particular interest is LIG-1, a
membrane glycoprotein that is expressed specifically in glial cells
in the mouse brain, and has leucine rich repeats and
immunoglobulin-like domains. Suzuki, et al., J. Biol. Chem. (U.S.),
271(37):22522 (1996). Other studies reporting on the biological
functions of proteins having leucine rich repeats include: Tayar,
N., et al., Mol. Cell Endocrinola., (Ireland), 125(1-2):65-70
(December. 1996) (gonadotropin receptor involvement); Miura, Y., et
al., Nippon Rinsho (Japan), 54(7):1784-1789 (July 1996) (apoptosis
involvement); Harris, P. C., et al., J. Am. Soc. Nephrol., 6(4):
1125-1133 (Oct. 1995) (kidney disease involvement).
[0039] Leucine rich repeat proteins are further discussed in
Kajava, J. Mol. Biol., 277(3):519-527 (1998), Nagasawa, et al.,
Genomics, 44(3):273-279 (1997), Bengtsson, J. Biol. Chem.,
270(43):25639-25644 (1995), Gaillard, et al., Cell, 65(7):1127-1141
(1991) and Ohkura and Yanagida, Cell, 64(1):149-157 (1991), all
incorporated herein by reference.
[0040] Thus, due to all the reasons listed above, new members of
the leucine rich repeat superfamily are of interest. On a more
general level, all novel proteins are of interest. We herein
describe the identification and characterization of novel
leucine-rich repeat-containing polypeptides, designated herein as
PRO1282 polypeptides.
[0041] 14. PRO358
[0042] The cloning of the Toll gene of Drosophila, a maternal
effect gene that plays a central role in the establishment of the
embryonic dorsal-ventral pattern, has been reported by Hashimoto et
al., Cell 52:269-279 (1988). The Drosophila Toll gene encodes an
integral membrane protein with an extracytoplasmic domain of 803
amino acids and a cytoplasmic domain of 269 amino acids. The
extracytoplasmic domain has a potential membrane-spanning segment,
and contains multiple copies of a leucine-rich segment, a
structural motif found in many transmembrane proteins. The Toll
protein controls dorsal-ventral patterning in Drosophila embryos
and activates the transcription factor Dorsal upon binding to its
ligand Sptzle. (Morisato and Anderson, Cell 76:677-688 (1994)). In
adult Drosophila, the Toll/Dorsal signaling pathway participates in
the anti-fungal immune response. (Lenaitre et al., Cell 86:973-983
(1996)).
[0043] A human homologue of the Drosophila Toll protein has been
described by Medzhitov et al., Nature 388:394-397 (1997). This
human Toll, just as Drosophila Toll, is a type 1 transmembrane
protein, with an extracellular domain consisting of 21 tandemly
repeated leucine-rich motifs (leucine-rich region--LRR), separated
by a non-LRR region, and a cytoplasmic domain homologous to the
cytoplasmic domain of the human interleukin-1 (IL-I) receptor. A
constitutively active mutant of the human Toll transfected into
human cell lines was shown to be able to induce the activation of
NF-.kappa.B and the expression of NF-.kappa.B-controlled genes for
the inflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6 and IL-8, as well as the
expression of the constimulatory molecule B7. 1, which is required
for the activation of native T cells. It has been suggested that
Toll functions in vertebrates as a non-clonal receptor of the
immune system, which can induce signals for activating both an
innate and an adaptive immune response in vertebrates. The human
Toll gene reported by Medzhitov et al., supra was most strongly
expressed in spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL), and the
authors suggested that its expression in other tissues may be due
to the presence of macrophages and dendritic cells, in which it
could act as an early-warning system for infection. The public
GenBank database contains the following Toll sequences: Toll1
(DNAX# HSU88540-1, which is identical with the random sequenced
full-length cDNA #HUMRSC786-1); Tol2 (DNAX# HSU88878-1); Toll3
(DNAX# HSU88879-1); and Toll4 (DNAX# HSU88880-1, which is identical
with the DNA sequence reported by Medzhitov et al., supra). A
partial Toll sequence (TollS) is available from GenBank under DNAX#
HSU88881-1.
[0044] Further human homologues of the Drosophila Toll protein,
designated as Toll-like receptors (huTLRs 1-5) were recently cloned
and shown to mirror the topographic structure of the Drosophila
counterpart (Rocket al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95:588-593
[1998]). Overexpression of a constitutively active mutant of one
human TLR (Toll-protein homologue--Medzhitov et al., supra; TLR4-
Rock et al., supra) leads to the activation of NF-.kappa.B and
induction of the inflammatory cytokines and constimulatory
molecules. Medzhitov et al., supra.
[0045] We herein describe the identification and characterization
of novel polypeptides having homology to Toll, designated herein as
PRO358 polypeptides.
[0046] 15. PRO1310
[0047] Of interest are proteins related to carboxypeptidases.
Various carboxypeptidases are described in the literature, i.e.,
Krause et al., Immunol. Rev. 161:119-127 (1998) and Leiter, J.
Endocrinol. 155(2):211-214 (1997). We herein describe the
identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having
homology to a carboxypeptidase, designated herein as PRO1310
polypeptides.
[0048] 16. PRO698
[0049] The extracellular mucous matrix of olfactory neuroepithelium
is a highly organized structure in intimate contact with
chemosensory cilia that house the olfactory transduction machinery.
The major protein component of this extracellular matrix is
olfactomedin, a glycoprotein that is expressed in olfactory
neuroepithelium and which form intermolecular disulfide bonds so as
to produce a polymer (Yokoe et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
90:46554659 (1993), Bal et al., Biochemistry 32:1047-1053 (1993)
and Snyder et al., Biochemistry 30:9143-9153 (1991)). It has been
suggested that olfactomedin may influence the maintenance, growth
or differentiation of chemosensory cilia on the apical dendrites of
olfactory neurons. Given this important role, there is significant
interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides
having homology to olfactomedin. We herein describe the
identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having
homology to olfactomedin protein, designated herein as PRO698
polypeptides.
[0050] 17. PRO732
[0051] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these
efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA
libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound
proteins. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides having
sequence identity to the Diff33 protein, designated herein as
PRO732 polypeptides.
[0052] 18. PRO1120
[0053] Enzymatic proteins play important roles in the chemical
reactions involved in the digestion of foods, the biosynthesis of
macromolecules, the controlled release and utilization of chemical
energy, and other processes necessary to sustain life. Sulfatases
are a family of secreted enzymatic proteins that play a variety of
important metabolic roles and thus are the subject of interest in
research and industry (see, e.g., Sleat et al., Biochem J., 324(Pt.
1):33-39 (1997)). Deficiencies of certain sulfatases have been
implicated in various human disorders including Sanfilippo D
syndrome (see, Litjens et al., Biochem J. 327(Pt 1):899-94 (1997);
Leipprandtet al. J. Inherit Metab. Dis. 18(5):647-648 (1995); and
Freemanet al. BiochemJ. 282(pt2):605-614 (1992)). We herein
describe the identification and characterization of novel
polypeptides having sequence identity to sulfatase protein,
designated herein as PRO1120 polypeptides.
[0054] 19. PRO537
[0055] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native secreted proteins. Many of these efforts
are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries
to identify the coding sequences for novel secreted proteins. We
herein describe the identification and characterization of novel
secreted polypeptides, designated herein as PRO537
polypeptides.
[0056] 20. PRO536
[0057] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native secreted proteins. Many of these efforts
are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries
to identify the coding sequences for novel secreted proteins. We
herein describe the identification and characterization of novel
secreted polypeptides, designated herein as PRO536
polypeptides.
[0058] 21. PRO535
[0059] Isomerase proteins play many important physiological roles
in the mammal. Many different types of isomerase proteins have been
identified and characterized including, for example, protein
disulfide isomerases and peptidyl-prolyl isomerases. It has been
reported that many immunophilin proteins, i.e., proteins that
serves as receptors for immunosuppressant drugs, exhibit
peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity in that they function to
catalyze the interconversion of the cis and trans isomerase of
peptide and protein substrates for immunophilin proteins. As such,
there is significant interest in identifying and characterizing
novel polypeptides having sequence similarity to peptidyl-prolyl
isomerase proteins. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to a
putative peptidyl-prolyl isomerase protein, designated herein as
PRO535 polypeptides.
[0060] 22. PRO718
[0061] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native transmembrane proteins. Many of these
efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA
libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel transmembrane
proteins. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated
herein as PRO718 polypeptides.
[0062] 23. PRO872
[0063] Enzymatic proteins play important roles in the chemical
reactions involved in the digestion of foods, the biosynthesis of
macromolecules, the controlled release and utilization of chemical
energy, and other processes necessary to sustain life.
Dehydrogenases and desaturases are a family of enzymes that play a
variety of important metabolic roles and thus are the subject of
interest in research and industry (see Hable et al., Mol. Gen.
Genet. 257(2):167-176 (1998); Schneider, C. et al., Prot. Expr.
Purif. 10(2):175-179 (1997)). We herein describe the identification
and characterization of novel polypeptides having sequence identity
to dehydrogenase proteins, designated herein as PRO872
polypeptides.
[0064] 24. PRO1063
[0065] Collagens constitute the most abundant proteins of the
extracellular matrix (ECM) in mammalian organisms. Collagen and
other macromolecules of the ECM are deposited by resident cells and
organized into a three-dimensional meshwork. This ECM environment
plays an essential role in guiding cell migration and in
cell-to-cell communication during morphogenic processes. The
restructuring of the ECM during remodeling occurs as a cooperative
multistep process involving a localized degradation of existing
macromolecules, rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, cell
translocation, and deposition of new ECM components. Involved in
this restructuring are enzymes such as collagenases and gelatinases
which play important roles in the degradation of the ECM. In light
of the obviously important roles played by the collagenase enzymes,
there is substantial interest in identifying and characterizing
novel polypeptides having homology to these proteins. We herein
describe the identification and characterization of novel
polypeptides having homology to human type IV collagenase protein,
designated herein as PRO1063 polypeptides.

[0067] Immunoglobulins are antibody molecules, the proteins that
function both as receptors for antigen on the B-cell membrane and
as the secreted products of the plasma cell. Like all antibody
molecules, immunoglobulins perform two major functions: they bind
specifically to an antigen and they participate in a limited number
of biological effector functions. Therefore, new members of the Ig
superfamily are always of interest.
[0068] Of particular interest are novel gene products associated
with mu chains in immature B cells. Shirasawa, et al., EMBO J.,
12(5):1827-1834 (1993); Dul, et al., Eur. J. Immunol.,
26(4):906-913 (1996). Moreover, the molecular components and
assembly of mu surrogate light chain complexes in pre-B cell lines
are of interest. Ohnishi and Takemori, J. Biol. Chem.,
269(45):28347-28353 (1994); Bauer, et al., Curr. Top. Microbiol.,
137:130-135 (1988). Novel nucleic acids and peptides related to
VpreB1, VpreB2 and VpreB3 by sequence identity are of particular
interest. The assembly and manipulation of immunoglobulins can
effect the entire industry related to antibodies and vaccines.
[0069] We herein describe the identification and characterization
of novel polypeptides having homology to VpreB proteins, designated
herein as PRO619 polypeptides.
[0070] 26. PRO943
[0071] Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) proteins exhibit a variety of
activities and act by binding to cell surface fibroblast growth
factor receptors. Many different fibroblast growth factor receptors
have been identified and characterized, including the fibroblast
growth factor receptor-4, which has been shown to be a high
affinity receptor for both acidic and basic FGF (Ron et al., J.
Biol. Chem. 268:5388-5394 (1993) and Stark et al., Development
113:641-651 (1991)). Given the obvious importance of the FGF family
of proteins and the cell surface receptors to which they bind,
there is significant interest in identifying novel polypeptides
having homology to the FGF receptor family. We herein describe the
identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having
homology to the fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 protein,
designated herein as PRO943 polypeptides.
[0072] 27. PRO1188
[0073] The identification of nucleotide pyrophosphohydrolases has
been of interest because of the potential roles these secreted
molecules play in calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition
disease, arthritis, and other joint diseases (see Masuda et al. J.
Rheumatol. (997) 24(8):1588-1594; and Terkeltaub et al., Arthritis
Rheum (1998) 37(6):934-941). We herein describe the identification
and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to
nucleotide pyrophosphohydrolases, designated herein as PRO1188
polypeptides.
[0074] 28. PRO1133
[0075] Netrins are molecules that guide growing axons and that are
strikingly similar in sequence and in function in flies, nematodes
and vertebrates. Additionally, netrin receptors have been
identified in all three animal groups and shown to have crucial,
conserved roles in axon navigation. Netrins and their receptors are
further described in the literature, i.e., Varela-Echavarria and
Guthrie, Genes Dev., 11(5):545-557 (1997); Guthrie, Curr. Biol.,
7(1):R6-R9 (1997); and Keynes and Cook, Neuron, 17(6):1031-1034
(1996). Due to their relation to neurons, netrins and their related
proteins are of interest. Of particular interest are molecules
having sequence identity or similarity with netrin. We herein
describe the identification and characterization of novel
polypeptides having homology to netrins, designated herein as
PRO1133 polypeptides.
[0076] 29. PRO784
[0077] Of interest are membrane-bound and receptor proteins
involved in intracellular signaling, metabolism, transport, and
other pathways. For example, membrane-bound proteins of the
endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus play important roles in
the transport of proteins. The sec22 protein is an endoplasmic
reticulum membrane-bound protein involved in fundamental membrane
trafficking reactions where secretory products are routed from
their site of synthesis to their final destination. The roles of
sec22 in transport pathways have been reported by numerous
investigators (see Tang et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun
243(3):885-891 (1998); Hay et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271(10):5671-5679
(1996); and Newman et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 10(7):3405-3414
(1990)). We herein describe the identification and characterization
of novel polypeptides having homology to sec22, designated herein
as PRO784 polypeptides.

efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA
libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound
proteins. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated
herein as PRO783 polypeptides.
[0080] 31. PRO820
[0081] Immunoglobulin molecules play roles in many important
mammalian physiological processes. The structure of immunoglobulin
molecules has been extensively studied and it has been well
documented that intact immunoglobulins possess distinct domains,
one of which is the constant domain or F.sub.c region of the
immunoglobulin molecule. The F.sub.c domain of an immunoglobulin,
while not being directly involved in antigen recognition and
binding, does mediate the ability of the immunoglobulin molecule,
either uncomplexed or complexed with its respective antigen, to
bind to F.sub.c receptors either circulating in the serum or on the
surface of cells. The ability of an F.sub.c domain of an
immunoglobulin to bind to an F.sub.c receptor molecule results in a
variety of important activities, including for example, in mounting
an immune response against unwanted foreign particles. Thus,
molecules related to F.sub.c receptors are of interest. F.sub.c
receptors are further described in Tominaga et al., Biochem.
Biophvs. Res. Commun., 168(2):683-689 (1990); Zhang et al.,
Immuno., 39(6):423-427 (1994). We herein describe the
identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having
homology to F.sub.c receptor, designated herein as PRO820
polypeptides.
[0082] 32. PRO1080
[0083] The folding of proteins and the assembly of protein
complexes within subcompartments of the eukaryotic cell is
catalysed by different members of the Hsp70 protein family. The
chaperone function of Hsp70 proteins in these events is regulated
by members of the DnaJ-like protein family, which occurs through
direct interaction of different Hsp70 and DnaJ-like protein pairs
that appear to be specifically adapted to each other. The diversity
of functions of DnaJ-like proteins using specific examples of
DnaJ-Hsp70 interactions with polypeptides in yeast
protein-biogenesis pathways is further described in Cyr et al.,
Trends Biochem. Sci., 19(4): 176-181 (1994). DnaJ proteins and
their involvement in the binding of secretory precursor
polypeptides to a translocon subcomplex and polypeptide
translocation machinery in the yeast endoplasmic reticulum are
further described in Lyman and Schekman, Cell 88(l):85-96 (1997)
and Lyman and Schekman, Experientia 52(12): 1042-1049 (1996),
respectively. Thus, DnaJ proteins are of interest, as are proteins
related to DnaJ proteins, particularly those having sequence
identity with DnaJ proteins. We herein describe the identification
and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to DnaJ
proteins, designated herein as PRO1080 polypeptides.

[0089] Enzymatic proteins play important roles in the chemical
reactions involved in the digestion of foods, the biosynthesis of
macromolecules, the controlled release and utilization of chemical
energy, and other processes necessary to sustain life.
Acyltransferases are enzymes which acylate moieties.
Acyl-glycerol-phosphate acyltransferases can act on
lysophosphatidic acid as a substrate. The lysophosphatidic acid is
converted to phophatidic acid and thus plays a role in forming
phosphatidylethanolamine found in membranes. See, Brown, et al.,
Plant Mol. Biol., 26(1):211-223 (1994). Thus, acyltransferases play
an important role in the biosynthesis of molecules requiring
acylation. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to
acyltransferase proteins, designated herein as PRO1016
polypeptides.

[0093] The glypican family of heparan sulfate proteoglycans are
major cell-surface proteoglycans of the developing nervous system.
It is believed that members of the glypican family play a role in
regulating cell cycle progression during the transition of
proliferating neuronal progenitor cells to differentiated neurons.
Lander et al. Perspect Dev. Neurobiol 3(4):347-358 (1996). It is
likely that proteoglycans of the glypican family play other
important roles in neural development (Lander et al., supra), and
as well as other tissues, as glypican family members have also been
found in the developing kidney (Watanabe et al. J. Cell Biol.
130(5):1207-1218 (1995)). Accordingly, the identification of new
members of the glypican family of proteins is of interest in
research and in industry.
[0094] Described herein is the identification and characterization
of novel polypeptides having sequence identity with glypican family
proteins, designated herein as PRO937 polypeptides.

[0100] Methyltransferase enzymes catalyze the transfer of methyl
groups from a donor molecule to an acceptor molecule
Methyltransferase enzymes play extremely important roles in a
number of different biological processes including, for example, in
the electron transport chain in the plasma membrane in prokaryotes
and in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotic cells (see,
e.g., Barkovich et al., J. Biol. Chem. 272:9182-9188 (1997), Dibrov
et al., J. Biol. Chem. 272:9175-9181 (1997), Lee et al., J.
Bacteriol. 179:1748-1754 (1997) and Marbois et al., Arch. Biochem.
Biophys. 313:83-88 (1994)). Methyltransferase enzymes have been
shown to be essential for the biosynthesis of ubiquinone (coenzyme
Q) and menaquinone (vitamin K2), both of which are essential
isoprenoid quinone components of the respiratory electron transport
chain. Given the obvious importance of the methyltransferase
enzymes, there is substantial interest in identifying novel
polypeptide homologs of the methyltransferases. We herein describe
the identification and characterization of a novel polypeptide
having homology to methyltransferase enzymes, designated herein as
PRO1180 polypeptides.

[0108] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native proteins. Many efforts are focused on the
screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the
coding sequences for novel receptor and other proteins. Of interest
is the identification of proteins that may play roles in various
human disorders and dysfunction. For example, the identification of
proteins of the ear and the functions they play in hearing may lead
to an understanding of the causes of hearing loss and deafness.
Coch-B2 is one such protein that has been found to be specifically
expressed in the inner ear (cochlea). It has been characterized and
studied for its possible role in hearing loss (Robertson et al.
Genomics (1994) 23(1):52-50; Robertson et al. Genomics (1997)

[0109] 45. PRO1135
[0110] Glycosylation is an important mechanism for modulating the
physiochemical and biological properties of proteins in a stage-
and tissue-specific manner. One of the important enzymes involved
in glycosylation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is alpha
1,2-mannosidase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of
Man9GlcNAc2 to Man8GlcNAc2 during the formation of N-linked
oligosaccharides. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha
1,2-mannosidase enzyme of is a member of the Class 1 alpha
1,2-mannosidases that are conserved from yeast to mammals. Given
the important roles played by the alpha 1,2-mannosidases in
glycosylation and the physiochemical activity regulated by
glycosylation, there is significant interest in identifying novel
polypeptides having homology to one or more mannosidases. We herein
describe the identification and characterization of novel
polypeptides having homology to alpha 1,2-mannosidase protein,
designated herein as PRO1135 polypeptides.
[0111] 46. PRO1114
[0112] Interferons (IFNs) encompass a large family of secreted
proteins occurring in vertebrates. Although they were originally
named for their antiviral activity, growing evidence supports a
critical role for IFNs in cell growth and differentiation
(Jaramillo et al., Cancer Investigation 13(3):327-338 (1995)). IFNs
belong to a class of negative growth factors having the ability to
inhibit the growth of a wide variety of cells with both normal and
transformed phenotypes. IFN therapy has been shown to be beneficial
in the treatment of human malignancies such as Karposi's sarcoma,
chronic myelogenous leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and hairy
cell leukemia as well as in the treatment of infectious diseases
such as hepatitis B (Gamliel et al., Scanning Microscopy
2(l):485-492 (1988), Einhorn et al., Med. Oncol. & Tumor
Pharmacother. 10:25-29 (1993), Ringenberg et al., Missouri Medicine
85(1):21-26 (1988), Saracco et al., Journal of Gastroenterology and
Hepatology 10:668-673 (1995), Gonzalez-Mateos et al.,
Hepato-Gastroenteroloy 42:893-899 (1995) and Malaguarnera et al.,
Pharmacotheray 17(5):998-1005 (1997)).
[0113] Interferons can be classified into two major groups based
upon their primary sequence. Type I interferons, IFN-.alpha. and
IFN-.beta., are encoded by a superfamily of intronless genes
consisting of the IFN-.alpha. gene family and a single IFN-.beta.
gene that are thought to have arisen from a common ancestral gene.
Type I interferons may be produced by most cell types. Type II IFN,
or IFN-.gamma., is restricted to lymphocytes (T cells and natural
killer cells) and is stimulated by nonspecific T cell activators or
specific antigens in vivo.
[0114] Although both type 1 and type II IFNs produce similar
antiviral and antiproliferative effects, they act on distinct cell
surface receptors, wherein the binding is generally species
specific (Langer et al., Immunol. Today 9:393400 (1988)). Both
IFN-.alpha. and IFN-.beta. bind competitively to the same high
affinity type 1 receptor, whereas IFN-.gamma. binds to a distinct
type II receptor. The presence and number of IFN receptors on the
surface of a cell does not generally reflect the sensitivity of the
cell to IFN, although it is clear that the effects of the IFN
protein is mediated through binding to a cell surface interferon
receptor. As such, the identification and characterization of novel
interferon receptor proteins is of extreme interest.
[0115] We herein describe the identification and characterization
of novel interferon receptor polypeptides, designated herein as
"PRO1114 interferon receptor" polypeptides. Thus, the PRO114
polypeptides of the present invention represents a novel cell
surface interferon receptor.

[0117] Glutathione peroxidases are of interest because they play
important roles in protection against risk of coronary disease,
atherosclerosis, platelet hyperaggregation and synthesis of
proaggregant and proinflammatory compounds. Glutathione peroxidases
are involved in the reduction of hydrogen peroxides and lipid
peroxides, which in turn regulate the activities of cyclooxygenase
and lipooxygenase pathways. This ultimately influences the
production of eicosanoids and modulates the balance between a
proaggregatory and antiaggregatory state of platelets. These and
other activities and functions of glutathione peroxidases are
discussed in greater detail by Ursini et al., Biomed. Environ. Sci
10(2-3): 327-332 (1997); Vitoux et al., Ann. Biol. Clin (Paris)
54(5): 181-187 (1996); and Mirault et al., Ann N.Y. Acad. Sci 738:

[0120] Long chain acyl-CoA synthetase converts free fatty acids to
acyl-CoA esters. This synthetase has been reported to have
interesting characteristics. Specifically, it has been reported
that two boys having Alport syndrome, elliptocytosis and mental
retardation carried a large deletion where long chain acyl-CoA
synthetase 4 would have been located. Thus, the absence of this
enzyme is believed to play a role in the development of mental
retardation or other signs associated with Alport syndrome in the
family. Piccini, et al., Genomics, 47(3):350-358 (1998). Moreover,
it has been reported that an inhibitor of acyl coenzyme A
synthetase, triacsin C, inhibits superoxide anion generation and
degranulation by human neutrophils. Thus, it is suggested that
there is a role for acyl-CoA esters in regulating activation of
O.sub.2 generation and degranulation at the G protein or subsequent
step(s). Korchak, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 269(48):30281-30287
(1994). Long chain acyl-CoA synthetase is also briefly discussed in
a report which describes very long chain acyl-CoA synthetase.
Uchiyama, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 271(48):30360 (1994). Thus, long
chain acyl-CoA synthetase and particular novel polypeptides having
sequence identity therewith are of interest.

[0123] Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored proteoglycans
are generally localized to the cell surface and are thus known to
be involved in the regulation of responses of cells to numerous
growth factors, cell adhesion molecules and extracellular matrix
components. The metastasis-associated GPI-anchored protein
(MAGPIAP) is one of these cell surface proteins which appears to be
involved in metastasis. Metastasis is the form of cancer wherein
the transformed or malignant cells are traveling and spreading the
cancer from one site to another. Therefore, identifying the

[0126] Mammalian cell membranes perform very important functions
relating to the structural integrity and activity of various cells

a variety of physiological, pharmacological and cellular processes.
Numerous ion channels have been identified including calcium (Ca),
sodium (Na), chloride (Cl) and potassium (K) channels, each of
which have been analyzed in detail to determine their roles in
physiological processes in vertebrate and insect cells. These roles
include such things as maintaining cellular homeostasis,
intracellular signaling, and the like. Given the obvious importance
of the ion channels, there is significant interest in identifying

[0147] Surfactant proteins play extremely important biological
roles in the mammalian pulmonary system. One mammalian protein that
has been studied and well characterized is pulmonary

of pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C on the surface
activity of phospholipid mixtures. Specifically, the authors
demonstrated that palmitoylation of pulmonary surfactant-associated
protein C greatly enhanced lipid respreading and film stability
and, therefore, was extremely important for surfactant function.
Given the obvious important roles played by surfactant protein in

[0151] Of particular interest are novel proteins which have
sequence identity with known proteins. For example, novel pr having
some sequence identity with the major histocompatibility complex
(MHC) are of interest. The MHC complex is a region of multiple loci
that play major roles in determining whether transplanted tissue
will be accepted as self (histocompatible) or rejected as foreign
(histoincompatible). Moreover, the MHC plays a central role in the
development of both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses.
There are class I, II and III MHC antigens, all known in the art.
Class 1 antigens are glycoproteins expressed on the surface of
nearly all nucleated cells, where they present peptide antigens of
altered self-cells necessary for the activation of Tc cells. The
assembly of MHC class 1 antigens is further described in Kvist and
Levy, Semin. Immunol., 5(2):105-116 (1993) and Maffei, et al., Hum.
Immunol., 54(2):91-103 (1997).

of novel polypeptides having sequence identity to various MHC-1
antigens, designated herein as PRO791 polypeptides.

[0154] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native secreted proteins. Many of these efforts
are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries
to identify the coding sequences for novel secreted proteins. We

[0156] Protein-protein interactions include receptor and antigen
complexes and signaling mechanisms. As more is known about the
structural and functional mechanisms underlying protein-protein
interactions, protein-protein interactions can be more easily
manipulated to regulate the particular result of the
protein-protein interaction. Thus, the underlying mechanisms of
protein-protein interactions are of interest to the scientific and
medical community.
[0157] All proteins containing leucine-rich repeats are thought to
be involved in protein-protein interactions. Leucine-rich repeats
are short sequence motifs present in a number of proteins with
diverse functions and cellular locations. The crystal structure of
ribonuclease inhibitor protein has revealed that leucine-rich
repeats correspond to beta-alpha structural units. These units are
arranged so that they form a parallel beta-sheet with one surface
exposed to solvent, so that the protein acquires an unusual,
nonglubular shape. These two features have been indicated as
responsible for the protein-binding functions of proteins
containing leucine-rich repeats. See, Kobe and Deisenhofer, Trends
Biochem. Sci., 19(10):415-421 (October 1994).
[0158] A study has been reported on leucine-rich proteoglycans
which serve as tissue organizers, orienting and ordering collagen
fibrils during ontogeny and are involved in pathological processes
such as wound healing, tissue repair, and tumor stroma formation.
Iozzo, R. V., Crit. Rev. Biochem. Mol. Biol., 32(2):141-174 (1997).
Others studies implicating leucine rich proteins in wound healing
and tissue repair are De La Salle, C., et al., Vouv. Rev. Fr.
Hematol. (Germany), 37(4):215-222 (1995), reporting mutations in
the leucine rich motif in a complex associated with the bleeding
disorder Bemard-Soulier syndrome, Chlemetson, K. J., Thromb.
Haemost. (Germany), 74(1):111-116 (July 1995), reporting that
platelets have leucine rich repeats and Ruoslahti, E. I., et al.,
W09110727-A by La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation reporting that
decorin binding to transforming growth factors has involvement in a
treatment for cancer, wound healing and scarring. Related by
function to this group of proteins is the insulin like growth
factor (IGF), in that it is useful in wound-healing and associated
therapies concerned with re-growth of tissue, such as connective
tissue, skin and bone; in promoting body growth in humans and
animals; and in stimulating other growth-related processes. The
acid labile subunit of IGF (ALS) is also of interest in that it
increases the half-life of IGF and is part of the IGF complex in
vivo.
[0159] Another protein which has been reported to have leucine-rich
repeats is the SLIT protein which has been reported to be useful in
treating neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease,
nerve damage such as in Parkinson's disease, and for diagnosis of
cancer, see, Artavanistsakonas, S. and Rothberg, J. M.,
W09210518-A1 by Yale University. Of particular interest is LIG-1, a
membrane glycoprotein that is expressed specifically in glial cells
in the mouse brain, and has leucine rich repeats and
immunoglobulin-like domains. Suzuki, et al., J. Biol. Chem. (U.S.),
271(37):22522 (1996). Other studies reporting on the biological
functions of proteins having leucine rich repeats include: Tayar,
N., et al., Mol. Cell Endocrinol., (Ireland), 125(1-2):65-70
(December. 1996) (gonadotropin receptor involvement); Miura, Y., et
al., Nippon Rinsho (Japan), 54(7):1784-1789 (July 1996) (apoptosis
involvement); Harris, P. C., et al., J. Am. Soc. Nephrol.,

of novel polypeptides having homology to LIG, designated herein as
PRO1111 polypeptides.
[0161] 65. PRO1344
[0162] Factor C is a protein that is intimately involved with the
coagulation cascade in a variety of organisms. The coagulation
cascade has been shown to involve numerous different intermediate
proteins, including factor C, all of whose activity is essential to
the proper functioning of this cascade. Abnormal coagulation
cascade function can result in a variety of serious abnormalities
and, as such, the activities of the coagulation cascade proteins is
of particular interest. As such, efforts are currently being
undertaken to identify novel polypeptides having homology to one or
more of the coagulation cascade proteins.

of novel polypeptides having homology to factor C protein,
designated herein as PRO1344 polypeptides.

[0165] Carbohydrate chains on glycoproteins are important not only
for protein conformation, transport and stability, but also for
cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions.
.beta.-1,4-galactosyltransferase is an enzyme that is involved in
producing carbohydrate chains on proteins, wherein the
.beta.-1,4-galactosyltransferase enzyme acts to transfer galactose
to the terminal N-acetylglucosamine of complex-type N-glycans in
the Golgi apparatus (Asano et al., EMBO J. 16:1850-1857 (1997)). In
addition, it has been suggested that
.beta.-1,4-galactosyltransferase is invloved directly in cell-cell
interactions during fertilization and early embryogenesis through a
subpopulation of this enzyme distributed on the cell surface.
Specifically, Lu et al., Development 124:41214131 (1997) and Larson
et al., Biol. Reprod. 57:442453 (1997) have demonstrated that
.beta.-1,4-galactosyltransferase is expressed on the surface of
sperm from a variety of mammalian species, thereby suggesting an
important role in fertilization. In light of the above, novel
polypeptides having sequence identity to
.beta.-1,4-galactosyltransferase are of interest.
[0166] We herein describe the identification and characterization
of novel polypeptides having homology to
.beta.-1,4-galactosyltransferase, designated herein as PRO1109

[0168] The nmb gene is a novel gene that encodes a putative
transmembrane glycoprotein which is differentially expressed in
metastatic human melanoma cell lines and which shows substantial
homology to the precursor of pMEL17, a melanocyte-specific protein
(Weterman et al., Int. J. Cancer 60:73-81(1995)). Given the
interest in identifying tumor-specific cell-surface polypeptide
markers, there is substantial interest in novel polypeptides having
homology to nmb. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to the nmb
protein, designated herein as PRO1383 polypeptides.

[0172] Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT) is an enzyme
that in lipid metabolism converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into
phosphatidic acid (PA). LPA is a phospholipid that acts as an
intermediate in membrane phospholipid metabolism. Various LPAAT
enzymes have been identified in a variety of species (see, e.g.,
Aguado et al., J. Biol. Chem. 273:4096-4105 (1998), Stamps et al.,
Biochem. J. 326:455-461 (1997), Eberhart et al., J. Biol. Chem.
272:20299-20305 (1997) and West et al., DNA Cell Biol. 16:691-701
(1997)). Given the obvious importance of LPAAT in a variety of
different applications including cell membrane maintenance, there
is substantial interest in identifying and characterizing novel
polypeptides having homology to LPAAT. We herein describe the
identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having
homology to LPAAT protein, designated herein as PRO1108
polypeptides.
[0173] 70. PRO1137
[0174] A particular class of secreted polypeptides that are of
interest in research and industry are ribosyltransferases. Braren
et al. described the use of EST databases for the identification
and cloning of novel ribosyltransferase gene family members (Adv.
Exp. Med. Biol. 419:163-168 (1997)). Ribosyltransferases have been
identified playing roles in a variety of metabolic functions
including posttranslational modification of proteins (Saxty et al.,
J. Leukoc. Biol., 63(1):15-21 (1998)), and mediation of the
assembly of filamentous actin and chemotaxis in polymorphonuclear
neiutrophil leukocytes (Kefalas et al. Adv. Exp. Med. Biol.
419:241-244 (1997)).
[0175] Described herein is the identification and characterization
of novel polypeptides having homology to ribosyltransferase,
designated herein as PRO1137 polypeptides.
[0176] 71. PRO1138
[0177] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native receptor proteins. Many efforts are focused
on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify
the coding sequences for novel receptor proteins. Of particular
interest is the identification of membrane-bound proteins found in
cells of the hematopoietic system, as they often play important
roles in fighting infection, repair of injured tissues, and other
activities of cells of the hematopoietic system. For instance, CD84
leukocyte antigen has recently been identified as a new member of
the Ig superfamily (de la Fuente et al., Blood, 90(6 :2398-2405
(1997)).
[0178] Described herein is the identification and characterization
of a novel polypeptide having homology to CD84 leukocyte antigen,
designated herein as PRO1138 polypeptides.
[0179] 72. PRO1054
[0180] The proteins of the major urinary protein complex (MUP),
proteins which are members of the lipocalin family, function to
bind to volatile pheromones and interact with the vomeronasal
neuroepithelium of the olfactory system. As such, proteins in the
MUP family are intimately involved in the process of attraction
between mammals of different sexes. Many different MUP family
members have been identified and characterized and shown to possess
varying degrees of amino acid sequence homology (see, e.g.,
Mucignat et al., Chem. Senses 23:67-70 (1998), Ferrari et al., FEBS
Lett. 401:73-77 (1997) and Bishop et al., EMBO J. 1:615-620
(1982)). Given the physiological and biological importance of the
MUP family of proteins, there is significant interest in
identifying and characterizing novel members of this family. We
herein describe the identification and characterization of novel
polypeptides having homology to MUP family of proteins, designated
herein as PRO1054 polypeptides.
[0181] 73. PRO994
[0182] The L6 cell surface antigen, which is highly expressed on
lung, breast, colon, and ovarian carcinomas, has attracted
attention as a potential therapeutic target for murine monoclonal
antibodies and their humanized counterparts (Marken et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:3503-3507 (1992)). The cDNA encoding this
tumor-associated cell surface antigen has been expressed in COS
cells and shown to encode a 202 amino acid polypeptide having three
transmembrane domains. The L6 antigen has been shown to be related
to a number of cell surface proteins that have been implicated in
the regulation of cell growth, including for example CD63 and
CO-029, proteins which are also highly expressed on tumor cells. As
such, there is significant interest in identifying novel
polypeptides having homology to the L6 tumor cell antigen as
potential targets for cancer therapy. We herein describe the
identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having
homology to the L6 cell surface tumor cell-associated antigen,
designated herein as PRO994 polypeptides.
[0183] 74. PRO812
[0184] Steroid binding proteins play important roles in numerous
physiological processes associated with steroid function.
Specifically, one steroid binding protein-associated polypeptide
that has been well characterized is component 1 of the prostatic
binding protein. Component 1 of the prostatic binding protein has
been shown to be specific for subunit F of the prostatic binding
protein, the major secretory glycoprotein of the rat ventral
prostate (Peeters et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 123:55-62 (1982) and
Liao et al., J. Biol. Chem. 257:122-125 (1982)). The amino acid
sequence of component 1 of the prostatic binding protein has been
determined, wherein the sequence is highly rich in glutamic acid
residues and is overall highly acidic. This protein plays an
important role in the response of the prostate gland to steroid
hormones. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to prostatic
steroid-binding protein c1, designated herein as PRO812
polypeptides.
[0185] 75. PRO1069
[0186] Of particular interest is the identification of new
membrane-bound proteins involved in ion conductance such as channel
inhibitory factor (CHIF) and MAT-8, which have recently been

[0189] Cytochromes P-450 are a superfamily of hemoproteins which
represent the main pathway for drug and chemical oxidation
(Horsmans, Acta Gastroenterol. Belg. 60:2-10 (1997)). This
superfamily is divided into families, subfamilies and/or single
enzymes. Recent reports have provided a great deal of information
concerning the cytochrome P-450 isozymes and increased awareness of
life threatening interactions with such commonly prescribed drugs
as cisapride and some antihistamines (Michalets, Pharmacotherapy
18:84-112 (1998) and Singer et al., J. Am. Acad. Dermatol.
37:765-771 (1997)). Given this information, there is significant
interest in identifying novel members of the cytochrome P-450
family of proteins. We herein describe the identification and

cytochrome P-450 proteins, designated herein as PRO1129
polypeptides.

[0191] Urotensins are neurosecretory proteins that are of interest
because of their potential roles in a variety of physiological

blood pressure and heart rate (Le Mevel et al. Am. J. Physiol.

[0202] Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder which,
according to recent epidemiologic studies, affects about one third
of all Americans 20 years of age or older. Kuczmarski et al., J.
Am. Med. Assoc. 272, 205-11 (1994). Obesity is responsible for a
variety of serious health problems, including cardiovascular
disorders, type II diabetes, insulin-resistance, hypertension,
hypertriglyceridemia, dyslipoproteinemia, and some forms of cancer.
Pi-Sunyer, F. X., Anns. Int. Med. 119, 655-60 (1993); Colfitz, G.
A., Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 55, 503S-507S (1992). A single-gene mutation
(the obesity or "ob" mutation) has been shown to result in obesity
and type II diabetes in mice. Friedman, Genomics 11, 1054-1062
(1991). Zhang et al., Nature 372, 425-431 (1994) have recently
reported the cloning and sequencing of the mouse ob gene and its
human homologue, and suggested that the ob gene product may
function as part of a signaling pathway from adipose tissue that
acts to regulate the size of the body fat depot. Parabiosis
experiments performed more than 20 years ago predicted that the
genetically obese mouse containing two mutant copies of the ob gene
(ob/ob mouse) does not produce a satiety factor which regulates its
food intake, while the diabetic (db/db) mouse produces but does not
respond to a satiety factor. Coleman and Hummal, Am. J. Physiol.
217, 1298-1304 (1969); Coleman, Diabetol. 9, 294-98 (1973). OB
proteins are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,532,336;
5,552,522; 5,552,523; 5,552,514; 5,554,727. Recent reports by three
independent research teams have demonstrated that daily injections
of recombinant OB protein inhibit food intake and reduce body
weight and fat in grossly obese ob/ob mice but not in db/db mice
(Pelleymounter et al., Science 269, 540-43 [1995]; Halaas et al.,
Science 269, 543-46 [1995]; Campfield et al., Science 269, 546-49
[1995]), suggesting that the ob protein is such a satiety factor as
proposed in early cross-circulation studies.
[0203] A receptor of the OB protein (OB-R) is disclosed in
Tartaglia et al., Cell 83, 1263-71 (1995). The OB-R is a single
membrane-spanning receptor homologous to members of the class 1
cytokine receptor family (Tartaglia et al., supra; Bazan, Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87, 6934-6938 [1990]). Two 5'-untranslated
regions and several 3'-alternative splice variants encoding OB-R
with cytoplasmic domains of different lengths have been described
in mouse, rat and human (Chen et al., Cell 84, 491-495 [1996]; Chua
et al., Science 271, 994-996 [1996]; Tartaglia et al., supra; Wang
et al., FEBS Lett. 392:87-90 [1996]; Phillips et al., Nature Genet.
13, 18-19 [1996]; Cioffi et al., Nature Med., 2 585-589 [1996]). A
human hematopoetin receptor, which might be a receptor of the CB
protein, is described in PCT application Publication No. WO
96/08510, published Mar. 21, 1996.
[0204] Bailleul et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 25, 2752-2758 (1997)
identified a human mRNA splice variant of the OB-R gene that
potentially encodes a novel protein, designated as leptin receptor
gene-related protein (OB-RGRP). This protein displays no sequence
similarity to the leptin receptor itself. The authors found that
the OB-RGRP gene shares its promoter and two exons with the OB-R
gene, and suggested that there is a requirement for a coordinate
expression of OB-R and OB-RGRP to elicit the full physiological
response to leptin in vivo.

[0210] Efforts are therefore being undertaken by both industry and

better understand protein-protein interactions. Of particular
interest are those proteins having leucine rich repeats and

small intestinal cDNA library as described in Weber, et al., PNAS
USA, 94(16):8509-8514 (1997). It was reported that this transporter
has four elongation factor-hand motifs in the N-terminal and is
localized in the peroxisome, although a fraction can be found in
the mitochondria. Thus, this transporter, and proteins which have
sequence identity to this and other members of the mitochondrial
solute carrier superfamily are of particular interest.
[0222] We herein describe the identification and characterization
of novel polypeptides having homology to a peroxisomal calcium
dependent solute carrier protein, designated herein as PRO1106
polypeptides.

[0224] Butyrophilin is a milk glycoprotein that constitutes more
than 40% of the total protein associated with the fat globule
membrane in mammalian milk. Expression of butyrophilin mRNA has
been shown to correlate with the onset of milk fat production
toward the end pregnancy and is maintained throughout lactation.
Butyrophilin has been identified in bovine, murine and human (see
Taylor et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1306:1-4 (1996), Ishii et
al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1245:285-292 (1995), Mather et al., J.
Dairy Sci. 76:3832-3850 (1993) and Banghart et al., J. Biol. Chem.
273:4171-4179 (1998)) and is a type 1 transmembrane protein that is
incorporated into the fat globulin membrane. It has been suggested
that butyrophilin may play a role as the principle scaffold for the
assembly of a complex with xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase and other
proteins that function in the budding and release of milk-fat
globules from the apical surface during lactation (Banghart et al.,
supra).
[0225] Given that butyrophilin plays an obviously important role in
mammalian milk production, there is substantial interest in
identifying novel butyrophilin homologs. We herein describe the
identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having
homology to butyrophilin, designated herein as PRO1291
polypeptides.

[0229] Proteins of interest include those having sequence identity
with RoBo-1, a novel member of the urokinase plasminogen activator
receptor/CD59/Ly-6/snake toxin family selectively expressed in bone
and growth plate cartilage as described in Noel et al., J. Biol.
Chem. 273(7):3878-3883 (1998). RoBo-1 is believed to play a novel
role in the growth or remodeling of bone. Proteins also of interest
include those having sequence identity with phospholipase
inhibitors.

[0236] Of interest are luminal proteins, or proteins specific to
the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Of particular interest are proteins
having sequence identity with known proteins. Known proteins
include proteins such as SLS1. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, SLS1
has been reported to be a mitochondrial integral membrane protein
involved in mitochondrial metabolism. Rouillard, et al., Mol. Gen.
Genet., 252(6):700-708 (1996). In yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, it has
been reported that the SLS1 gene product (SLS1p) behaves as a
lumenal protein of the ER. It is believed that SPS1p acts in the
preprotein translocation process, interacting directly with
translocating polypeptides to facilitate their transfer and/or help
their folding in the ER. Bosirame, et al., J. Biol. Chem.,
271(20):11668-11675 (1996).

[0241] Proteases are enzymatic proteins which are involved in a
large number of very important biological processes in mammalian
and non-mammalian organisms. Numerous different protease enzymes
from a variety of different mammalian and non-mammalian organisms
have been both identified and characterized, including the serine
proteases which exhibit specific activity toward various
serine-containing proteins. The mammalian protease enzymes play
important roles in biological processes such as, for example,
protein digestion, activation, inactivation, or modulation of
peptide hormone activity, and alteration of the physical properties
of proteins and enzymes.
[0242] Neuropsin is a novel serine protease whose mRNA is expressed
in the central nervous system. Mouse neuropsin has been cloned, and
studies have shown that it is involved in the hippocampal
plasticity. Neuropsin has also been indicated as associated with
extracellular matrix modifications and cell migrations. See,
generally, Chen, et al., Neurosci., 7(2):5088-5097 (1995) and Chen,
et al., J. Histochem. Cytochem., 46:313-320 (1998).
[0243] Another serine protease of interest is the enamel matrix
serine proteinase. The maturation of dental enamel succeeds the
degradation of organic matrix. Inhibition studies have shown that
this degradation is accomplished by a serine-type proteinase.
Proteases associated with enamel maturation are described in, i.e.,
Simmer, et al., J. Dent. Res., 77(2):377-386 (1998), Overall and
Limeback, Biochem J., 256(3):965-972 (1988), and Moradian-Oldak,

[0246] The abbreviations "TIE" or "tie" are acronyms, which stand
for "tyrosine kinase containing Ig and EGF homology domains" and
were coined to designate a new family of receptor tyrosine kinases
which are almost exclusively expressed in vascular endothelial
cells and early hemopoietic cells, and are characterized by the
presence of an EGF-like domain, and extracellular folding units
stabilized by intra-chain disulfide bonds, generally referred to as
"immunoglobulin (IG)-like" folds. A tyrosine kinase homologous cDNA
fragment from human leukemia cells (tie) was described by Partanen
et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87, 8913-8917 (1990). The niRNA
of this human "TIE" receptor has been detected in all human fetal
and mouse embryonic tissues, and has been reported to be localized
in the cardiac and vascular endothelial cells. Korhonen et al.,
Blood 80, 2548-2555 (1992); PCT Application Publication No. WO
93/14124 (published Jul. 22, 1993). The rat homolog of human TIE,
referred to as "TIE-1", was identified by Maisonpierre et al.,
Oncozene 8, 1631-1637 (1993)). Another TIE receptor, designated
"TIE-2" was originally identified in rats (Dumont et al., Oncogene
8, 1293-1301 (1993)), while the human homolog of TIE2, referred to
as "ork" was described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,447,860 (Ziegler). The
murine homolog of TIE-2 was originally termed "tek." The cloning of
a mouse TIE-2 receptor from a brain capillary cDNA library is
disclosed in PCT Application Publication No. WO 95/13387 (published
May 18, 1995). TIE-2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is
expressed almost exclusively by vascular endothelium. Tie-2
knockout mice die by defects in the formation of microvassels.
Accordingly, the TIE receptors are believed to be actively involved
in angiogenesis, and may play a role in hemopoiesis as well.
Indeed, recent results (Lin et al., J. Clin. Invest. 100(8),
2072-2078 [1997]) demonstrating the ability of a soluble TIE-2
receptor to inhibit tumor angiogenesis have been interpreted to
indicate that TIE-2 plays a role in pathologic vascular growth. In
another study, TIE-2 expression was examined in adult tissues
undergoing angiogenesis and in quiescent tissues. TIE2 expression
was localized by immunohistochemistry to the endothelium of
neovessels in rat tissues undergoing angiogenesis during hormonally
stimulated follicular maturation and uterine development and in
healing wounds. TIE-2 was also reported to be expressed in the
entire spectrum of the quiescent vasculature (arteries, veins, and
capillaries) in a wide range of adult tissues. Wong et al., Circ.
Res. 81(4), 567-574 (1997). It has been suggested that TIE-2 has a
dual function in adult angiogenesis and vascular maintenance.
[0247] The expression cloning of human TIE-2 ligands has been
described in PCT Application Publication No. WO 96/11269 (published
Apr. 18, 1996) and in U.S. Pat. No. 5,521,073 (published May 28,
1996). A vector designated as .lambda.gt10 encoding a TIE-2 ligand
NL7d "htie-2 ligand 1" or "hTL1" has been deposited under ATCC
Accession No. 75928. A plasmid encoding another TIE-2 ligand
designated "htie-2 2" or "hTL2" is available under ATCC Accession
No. 75928. This second ligand has been described as an antagonist
of the TAI-2 receptor. The identification of secreted human and
mouse ligands for the TIE-2 receptor has been reported by Davis et
al., Cell 87, 1161-1169 (1996). The human ligand designated
"Angiopoietin-1", to reflect its role in angiogenesis and potential
action during hemopoiesis, is the same ligand as the ligand
variously designated as "htie-2 1" or "hTL-1" in WO 96/11269.
Angiopoietin-1 has been described to play an angiogenic role later
and distinct from that of VEGF (Suri et al., Cell 87, 1171-1180
(1996)). Since TIE-2 is apparently upregulated during the
pathologic angiogenesis requisite for tumor growth (Kaipainen et
al., Cancer Res. 54, 6571-6577 (1994)) angiopoietin-1 has been
suggested to be additionally useful for specifically targeting
tumor vasculature (Davis et al., supra).
[0248] We herein describe the identification and characterization
of novel TIE ligand polypeptides, designated herein as PRO1346
polypeptides.
[0249] 98. PRO1131
[0250] The low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is a
membrane-bound protein that plays a key role in cholesterol
homeostasis, mediating cellular uptake of lipoprotein particles by
high affinity binding to its ligands, apolipoprotein (apo) B-100
and apoE. The ligand-binding domain of the LDL receptor contains 7
cysteine-rich repeats of approximately 40 amino acids, wherein each
repeat contains 6 cysteines, which form 3 intra-repeat disulfide
bonds. These unique structural features provide the LDL receptor
with its ability to specifically interact with apo B-100 and apoE,
thereby allowing for transport of these lipoprotein particles
across cellular membranes and metabolism of their components.
Soluble fragments containing the extracellular domain of the LDL
receptor have been shown to retain the ability to interact with its
specific lipoprotein ligands (Simmons et al., J. Biol. Chem.
272:25531-25536 (1997)). LDL receptors are further described in
Javitt, FASEB J., 9(13): 1378-1381 (1995), van Berkel, et al.,
Atherosclerosis, 118 Suppl:S43-S50 (1995) and Herz and Willnow,
Ann. NY Acad. Sci., 737:14-19 (1994). Thus, proteins having
sequence identity with LDL receptors are of interest.

[0259] Proteases are enzymatic proteins which are involved in a
large number of very important biological processes in mammalian

have been both identified and characterized. The mammalian protease
enzymes play important roles in many different biological processes
including, for example, protein digestion, activation,
inactivation, or modulation of peptide hormone activity, and
alteration of the physical properties of proteins and enzymes.
Thus, proteases are of interest. Also of interest are protease
inhibitors.
[0260] Of particular interest are serine proteases. In one study it
was reported that when the serine protease inhibitor
antileukoproteinase (aLP) is injected, it accumulates in articular
and extraarticular cartilage of normal rats. This physiological
pathway of cartilage accumulation, lost in proteoglycan depleted
arthritic cartilage is believed to serve to maintain the local
balance between proteinase function and inhibition. Burkhardt, et
al., J. Rheumatol, 24(6): 1145-1154 (1997). Moreover, aLP and other
protease inhibitors have been reported to play a role in the in
vitro growth of hematopoietc cells by the neutralization of
proteinases produced by bone marrow accessory cells. Gosklink, et
al., J. Exp. Med., 184(4):1305-1312 (1996). Also of interest are
mutants of aLP. Oxidation resistant mutants of aLPe have been
reported to have significant therapeutic effects on animal models
having emphysema. Steffens, et al., Agents Actions Suppl.,
42:111-121 (1993). Thus, serine protease inhibitors are of
interest.

of novel polypeptides having homology to serine protease
inhibitors, designated herein as PRO844 polypeptides.
[0262] 103. PRO848
[0263] Membrane-bound proteins of interest include channels such as
ion channels. Furthermore, membrane-bound proteins of interest
include enzymes bound to intracellular vacuoles or organelles, such
as transferases. For example, a peptide of interest is the GalNAc
alpha 2, 6-sailytransferase as described in Kurosawa, et al., J.
Biol. Chem., 269(2):1402-1409 (1994). This peptide was constructed
to be secreted, and retained its catalytic activity. The expressed
enzyme exhibited activity toward asialomucin and asialofetuin, but
not other glycoproteins tested. As sialylation is an important
function, sialyltransferases such as this one, and peptides related
by sequence identity, are of interest.

of novel polypeptides having homology to sialyltransferases,
designated herein as PRO848 polypeptides.

[0270] Aminopeptidase N causes enzymatic degradation of perorally

efficacy of peptide drugs by inhibiting their degradation.
Aminopeptidases are also generally of interest to use to degrade
peptides. Aminopeptidases, particularly novel aminopeptidases are
therefore of interest. Aminopeptidase N and inhibitors thereof are
further described in Bernkop-Schnurch and Marschutz, Pharm. Res.,

[0275] Conglutinin is a bovine serum protein that was originally
described as a vertebrate lectin protein and which belongs to the
family of C-type lectins that have four characteristic domains, (1)
an N-terminal cysteine-rich domain, (2) a collagen-like domain, (3)
a neck domain and (4) a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD).
Recent reports have demonstrated that bovine conglutinin can
inhibit hemagglutination by influenza A viruses as a result of
their lectin properties (Eda et al., Biochem. J. 316:43-48 (1996)).
It has also been suggested that lectins such as conglutinin can
function as immunoglobulin-independent defense molecules due to
complement-mediated mechanisms. Thus, conglutinin has been shown to
be useful for purifying immune complexes in vitro and for removing
circulating immune complexes from patients plasma in vivo (Lim et
al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 218:260-266 (1996)). We herein

[0277] Substance P and the related proteins, neurokinin A and
neurokinin B have been reported as compounds which elicit
contraction of the ileum both directly through action on a muscle
cell receptor and indirectly through stimulation of a neuronal

causes muscle contraction via muscarinic receptors. It has also
been reported that neurolinin B was found to be the most potent
agonist for the neuronal Substance P receptor and that neurokinin B
can be inhibited by enkephalinamide. Laufer, et al., PNAS USA,
82(21):74444-7448 (1985). Moreover, neurokinin B has been reported
to provide neuroprotection and cognitive enhancement, and therefore
believed to be useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative
disorders, including alzheimers disease. Wenk, et al., Behav. Brain
Res., 83(1-2):129-133 (1997). Tachykinins are also described in
Chawla, et al., J. Comp. Neurol., 384(3):429-442 (1997). Thus,
tachykinins, particularly those related to neurokinin B are of

[0286] The extracellular mucous matrix of olfactory neuroepithelium
is a highly organized structure in intimate contact with
chemosensory cilia that house the olfactory transduction machinery.
The major protein component of this extracellular matrix is
olfactomedin, a glycoprotein that is expressed in olfactory
neuroepithelium and which form intermolecular disulfide bonds so as
to produce a polymer (Yokoe et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
90:4655-4659 (1993), Bal et al., Biochemistry 32:1047-1053 (1993)
and Snyder et al., Biochemistry 30:9143-9153 (1991)). It has been
suggested that olfactomedin may influence the maintenance, growth
or differentiation of chemosensory cilia on the apical dendrites of
olfactory neurons. Given this important role, there is significant
interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides
having homology to olfactomedin. We herein describe the

transcription, gene transcription, transmembrane signaling, mRNA
modification and vesicle fusion. WD are further described in Neer,
et al., Nature, 371(6495):297-300 (1994); Jiang and Struhl, Nature,
391(6666):493-496(1998); and DeSilva, et al., Genetics,

[0299] Ion channels are considered to be the gateway to the final
frontier, the brain. Ion channels and the receptors which control
these channels are responsible for the passage of ions, or nerve
impulses to be communicated from cell to cell, thus, ion channels
are responsible for communication. In addition to their critical
role in the brain, ion channels play a critical role in the heart
as well as blood pressure. Ion channels have also been linked to
other important bodily functions and conditions, as well as
disorders, such as cystic fibrosis. For all of these reasons, ion
channels, such as sodium, potassium and chloride channels, as well
as all of their related proteins and receptors are of interest. For
example, it has been reported that cystic fibrosis results from a
defect in the chloride channel protein, cystic fibrosis
transmembrane conductance regulator. McGill, et al., Dig. Dis.
Sci., 41(3):540-542 (1996). Chloride channels are further described
in at least Finn, et al., PNAS USA, 90(12):5691-569 (1993) and
Finn, et al., Mol. Cell Biochem., 114(1-2):21-26 (1992).
[0300] Also of interest are molecules related to adhesion
molecules, as adhesion molecules are known to be involved in
cell-cell signaling and interactions. More generally, all novel
membrane bound-proteins are of interest. Membrane-bound proteins
and receptors can play an important role in the formation,
differentiation and maintenance of multicellular organisms. The
fate of many individual cells, e.g., proliferation, migration,
differentiation, or interaction with other cells, is typically
governed by information received from other cells and/or the
immediate environment. This information is often transmitted by
secreted polypeptides (for instance, mitogenic factors, survival
factors, cytotoxic factors, differentiation factors, neuropeptides,
and hormones) which are, in turn, received and interpreted by
diverse cell receptors or membrane-bound proteins. Such
membrane-bound proteins and cell receptors include, but are not
limited to, cytokine receptors, receptor kinases, receptor
phosphatases, receptors involved in cell-cell interactions,
channels, transporters, and cellular adhesin molecules like
selectins and integrins. For instance, transduction of signals that
regulate cell growth and differentiation is regulated in part by
phosphorylation of various cellular proteins. Protein tyrosine
kinases, enzymes that catalyze that process, can also act as growth
factor receptors. Examples include fibroblast growth factor
receptor and nerve growth factor receptor.
[0301] Membrane-bound proteins include those which are bound to the
outer membrane and intracellular membranes and organelles.
Membrane-bound proteins and receptor molecules have various
industrial applications, including as pharmaceutical and diagnostic
agents. Receptor immunoadhesins, for instance, can be employed as

membrane-bound proteins can also be employed for screening of
potential peptide or small molecule inhibitors of the relevant
receptor/ligand interaction.
[0302] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia
to identify new, native receptor proteins. Many efforts are focused
on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify
the coding sequences for novel receptor proteins. Herein is

[0304] Fringe is a protein which specifically blocks
serrate-mediated activation of notch in the dorsal compartment of
the Drosophila wing imaginal disc. Fleming et al., Development,
124(15):2973-81 (1997). Therefore, fringe protein is of interest
for both its role in development as well as its ability to regulate
serrate, particularly serrate's signaling abilities. Also of
interest are novel polypeptides which may have a role in
development and/or the regulation of serrate-like molecules. Of
particular interest are novel polypeptides having homology to
fringe.

of novel polypeptides having homology to fringe protein, designated

[0309] Membrane-bound proteins of myelin are of interest because of
their possible implications in various nervous system disorders
associated with improper myelination. Myelin is a cellular sheath,
formed by glial cells, that surrounds axons and axonal processes
that enhances various electrochemical properties and provides
trophic support to the neuron. Myelin is formed by Schwann cells in
the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and by oligodendrocytes in the
central nervous system (CNS). Improper myelination of central and
peripheral neurons occurs in a number of pathologies and leads to
improper signal conduction within the nervous systems. Among the
various demyelinating diseases Multiple Sclerosis is the most
notable.
[0310] The predominant integral membrane protein of the CNS myelin
of amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are proteolipid protein
(PLP) and P0, the main glycoprotein in PNS myelin. (Schlieess and
Stoffel, Biol. Chem. Hoppe Seyler (1991) 372(9):865-874). In view
of the importance of membrane-bound proteins of the myelin, efforts
are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify and
characterize various myelin proteins (see Stratmann and Jeserich,
J. Neurochem (1995) 64(6):2427-2436).

[0318] Human tetranectin is a 202 amino acid protein encoded by a
gene spanning approximately 12 kbp of DNA (Berglund et al., FEBS
Lett. 309:15-19 (1992)). Tetranectin has been shown to be expressed
in a variety of tissues and functions primarily as a plasminogen
binding protein. Tetranectin has been classified in a distinct
group of the C-type lectin superfamily but has structural and
possibly functional similarity to the collectin proteins (Nielsen
et al., FEBS Lett. 412(2):388-396 (1997)). Recent studies have
reported that variability in serum tetranectin levels may be
predictive of the presence of various types of cancers including,
for example, ovarian and colorectal cancers (Hogdall et al., Acta
Oncol. 35:63-69 (1996), Hogdall et al., Eur. J. Cancer
31A(6):888-894 (1995) and Tuxen et al., Cancer Treat. Rev.
21(3):215-245 (1995)). As such, there is significant interest in
identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides having structural
and functional similarity to the tetranectin protein.

of novel polypeptides having homology to tetranectin protein,

[0323] Serine protease inhibitors are of interest because they
inhibit catabolism and are sometimes associated with regeneration
of tissue. For example, a gene encoding a plasma protein associated
with liver regeneration has been cloned and termed
regeneration-associated serpin-1 (RASP-1). New, et al., Biochem.
Biophys. Res. Commun., 223(2):404412 (1996). While serine protease
inhibitors are of interest, particularly of interest are those
which have sequence identity with known serine protease inhibitors
such as RASP-1.

[0328] The recognition of carbohydrates by lectins has been found
to play an important role in various aspects of eukaryotic
physiology. A number of different animal and plant lectin families
exist, but it is the calcium dependent, or type C, lectins that
have recently garnered the most attention. For example, the
recognition of carbohydrate residues on either endothelial cells or
leukocytes by the selectin family of calcium dependent lectins has
been found to be of profound importance to the trafficking of
leukocytes to inflammatory sites. Lasky, L., Ann. Rev. Biochem., 64
113-139 (1995). The biophysical analysis of these adhesive
interactions has suggested that lectin-carbohydrate binding evolved
in this case to allow for the adhesion between leukocytes and the
endothelium under the high shear conditions of the vasculature.
Thus, the rapid on rates of carbohydrate recognition by such
lectins allows for a hasty acquisition of ligand, a necessity under
the high shear of the vascular flow. The physiological use of type
C lectins in this case is also supported by the relatively low
affinities of these interactions, a requirement for the leukocyte
rolling phenomenon that has been observed to occur at sites of
acute inflammation. The crystal structures of the mannose binding
protein (Weis et al., Science 254, 1608-1615 [1991]; Weis et al.,
Nature 360 127-134 [1992]) and E-selectin (Graves et al., Nature
367(6463), 532-538 [1994]), together with various mutagenesis
analyses (Erbe et al., J. Cell. Biol. 119(1), 215-227 [1992];
Drickamer, Nature 360, 183-186 [1992]; Iobstet al., J. Biol. Chem.
169(22), 15505-15511 [1994]; Kogan et al., J. Biol. Chem. 270(23),
14047-14055 [1995]), is consistent with the supposition that the
type C lectins are, in general, involved with the rapid recognition
of clustered carbohydrates. Together, these data suggest that type
C lectins perform a number of critical physiological phenomena
through the rapid, relatively low affinity recognition of
carbohydrates.
[0329] Given the obvious importance of the lectin proteins in
numerous biological processes, efforts are currently being made to
identify novel lectin proteins or proteins having sequence homology
to lectin proteins. We herein describe the identification and
characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to a lectin
protein, designated herein as PRO1270 polypeptides.

[0341] One class of receptor proteins that has been of interest is
the NKG2 family of type II transmembrane molecules that are
expressed in natural killer cells. These proteins, which have been
shown to be covalently associated with CD94, are involved in
natural killer cell-mediated recognition of different HLA-allotypes
(Plougastel, B. et al., Eur. J. Immunol. (1997)27(11):2835-2839),
and interact with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class 1 to
either inhibit or activate functional activity (Ho, EL. et al.,
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (1998) 95(11):6320-6325). Accordingly, the
identification and characterization of new members of this family
of receptor proteins is of interest (see Houchins J P, et al. J.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[2910] I. Defintions
[2911] The terms "PRO polypeptide" and "PRO" as used herein and
when immediately followed by a numerical designation refer to
various polypeptides, wherein the complete designation (i.e.,
PRO/number) refers to specific polypeptide sequences as described
herein. The terms "PRO/number polypeptide" and "PRO/number" wherein
the term "nunber" is provided as an actual numerical designation as
used herein encompass native sequence polypeptides and polypeptide
variants (which are further defined herein). The PRO polypeptides
described herein may be isolated from a variety of sources, such as
from human tissue types or from another source, or prepared by
recombinant or synthetic methods.
[2912] A "native sequence PRO polypeptide" comprises a polypeptide
having the same amino acid sequence as the corresponding PRO
polypeptide derived from nature. Such native sequence PRO
polypeptides can be isolated from nature or can be produced by
recombinant or synthetic means. The term "native sequence PRO
polypeptide" specifically encompasses naturally-occurring truncated
or secreted forms of the specific PRO polypeptide (e.g., an
extracellular domain sequence), naturally-occurring variant forms
(e.g., alternatively spliced forms) and naturally-occurring allelic
variants of the polypeptide. In various embodiments of the
invention, the native sequence PRO polypeptides disclosed herein
are mature or full-length native sequence polypeptides comprising
the full-length amino acids sequences shown in the accompanying
figures. Start and stop codons are shown in bold font and
underlined in the figures. However, while the PRO polypeptide
disclosed in the accompanying figures are shown to begin with
methionine residues designated herein as amino acid position 1 in
the figures, it is conceivable and possible that other methionine
residues located either upstream or downstream from the amino acid
position 1 in the figures may be employed as the starting amino
acid residue for the PRO polypeptides.
[2913] The PRO polypeptide "extracellular domain" or "ECD" refers
to a form of the PRO polypeptide which is essentially free of the
transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. Ordinarily, a PRO
polypeptide ECD will have less than 1% of such transmembrane and/or
cytoplasmic domains and preferably, will have less than 0.5% of
such domains. It will be understood that any transmembrane domains
identified for the PRO polypeptides of the present invention are
identified pursuant to criteria routinely employed in the art for
identifying that type of hydrophobic domain. The exact boundaries
of a transmembrane domain may vary but most likely by no more than
about 5 amino acids at either end of the domain as initially
identified herein. Optionally, therefore, an extracellular domain
of a PRO polypeptide may contain from about 5 or fewer amino acids
on either side of the transmembrane domain/extracellular domain
boundary as identified in the Examples or specification and such
polypeptides, with or without the associated signal peptide, and
nucleic acid encoding them, are comtemplated by the present
invention.
[2914] The approximate location of the "signal peptides" of the
various PRO polypeptides disclosed herein are shown in the present
specification and/or the accompanying figures. It is noted,
however, that the C-terminal boundary of a signal peptide may vary,
but most likely by no more than about 5 amino acids on either side
of the signal peptide C-terminal boundary as initially identified
herein, wherein the C-terminal boundary of the signal peptide may
be identified pursuant to criteria routinely employed in the art
for identifying that type of amino acid sequence element (e.g.,
Nielsen et al., Prot. Eng. 10:1-6 (1997) and von Heinje et al.,
Nucl. Acids. Res. 14:4683-4690 (1986)). Moreover, it is also
recognized that, in some cases, cleavage of a signal sequence from
a secreted polypeptide is not entirely uniform, resulting in more
than one secreted species. These mature polypeptides, where the
signal peptide is cleaved within no more than about 5 amino acids
on either side of the C-terminal boundary of the signal peptide as
identified herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them, are
contemplated by the present invention.
[2915] "PRO polypeptide variant" means an active PRO polypeptide as
defined above or below having at least about 80% amino acid
sequence identity with a full-length native sequence PRO
polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein, a PRO polypeptide
sequence lacking the signal peptide as disclosed herein, an
extracellular domain of a PRO polypeptide, with or without the
signal peptide, as disclosed herein or any other fragment of a
full-length PRO polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein. Such PRO
polypeptide variants include, for instance, PRO polypeptides
wherein one or more amino acid residues are added, or deleted, at
the N- or C-terminus of the full-length native amino acid sequence.
Ordinarily, a PRO polypeptide variant will have at least about 80%
amino acid sequence identity, preferably at least about 81% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 82% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 83% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 84% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 85% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 86% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 87% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 88% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 89% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 90% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 91% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 92% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 93% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 94% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 95% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 96% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 97% amino
acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 98% amino
acid sequence identity and most preferably at least about 99% amino
acid sequence identity with a fill-length native sequence PRO
polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein, a PRO polypeptide
sequence lacking the signal peptide as disclosed herein, an
extracellular domain of a PRO polypeptide, with or without the
signal peptide, as disclosed herein or any other specifically
defined fragment of a full-length PRO polypeptide sequence as
disclosed herein. Ordinarily, PRO variant polypeptides are at least
about 10 amino acids in length, often at least about 20 amino acids
in length, more often at least about 30 amino acids in length, more
often at least about 40 amino acids in length, more often at least
about 50 amino acids in length, more often at least about 60 amino
acids in length, more often at least about 70 amino acids in
length, more often at least about 80 amino acids in length, more
often at least about 90 amino acids in length, more often at least
about 100 amino acids in length, more often at least about 150
amino acids in length, more often at least about 200 amino acids in
length, more often at least about 300 amino acids in length, or
more.
[2916] "Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity" with respect to
the PRO polypeptide sequences identified herein is defined as the
percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are
identical with the amino acid residues in the specific PRO
polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing
gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence
identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as
part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of
determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in
various ways that are within the sldll in the art, for instance,
using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2,
ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can
determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including
any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full
length of the sequences being compared. For purposes herein,
however, % amino acid sequence identity values are generated using
the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2, wherein the
complete source code for the ALIGN-2 program is provided in Table 1
below. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program was
authored by Genentech, Inc. and the source code shown in Table 1
below has been filed with user documentation in the U.S. Copyright
Office, Washington D.C., 20559, where it is registered under U.S.
Copyright Registration No. TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is
publicly available through Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco,
Calif. or may be compiled from the source code provided in Table 1
below. The ALIGN-2 program should be compiled for use on a UNIX
operating system, preferably digital UNIX V4.OD. All sequence
comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not
vary.
[2917] In situations where ALIGN-2 is employed for amino acid
sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given
amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid
sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino
acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid
sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence
B) is calculated as follows:
100 times the fraction X/Y
[2918] where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as
identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that
program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of
amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the
length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino
acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will
not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. As examples
of % amino acid sequence identity calculations using this method,
Tables 2 and 3 demonstrate how to calculate the % amino acid
sequence identity of the amino acid sequence designated "Comparison
Protein" to the amino acid sequence designated "PRO", wherein "PRO"
represents the amino acid sequence of a hypothetical PRO
polypeptide of interest, "Comparison Protein" represents the amino
acid sequence of a polypeptide against which the "PRO" polypeptide
of interest is being compared, and "X, "Y" and "Z" each represent
different hypothetical amino acid residues.
[2919] Unless specifically stated otherwise, all % amino acid
sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described in
the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer
program. However, % amino acid sequence identity values may also be
obtained as described below by using the WU-BLAST-2 computer
program (Altschul et al., Methods in Enzymology 266:460-480
(1996)). Most of the WU-BLAST-2 search parameters are set to the
default values. Those not set to default values, i.e., the
adjustable parameters, are set with the following values: overlap
span=1, overlap fraction=0.125, word threshold (T)=11, and scoring
matrix=BLOSUM62. When WU-BLAST-2 is employed, a % amino acid
sequence identity value is determined by dividing (a) the number of
matching identical amino acid residues between the amino acid
sequence of the PRO polypeptide of interest having a sequence
derived from the native PRO polypeptide and the comparison amino
acid sequence of interest (i.e., the sequence against which the PRO
polypeptide of interest is being compared which may be a PRO
variant polypeptide) as determined by WU-BLAST-2 by (b) the total
number of amino acid residues of the PRO polypeptide of interest.
For example, in the statement "a polypeptide comprising an the
amino acid sequence A which has or having at least 80% amino acid
sequence identity to the amino acid sequence B", the amino acid
sequence A is the comparison amino acid sequence of interest and
the amino acid sequence B is the amino acid sequence of the PRO
polypeptide of interest.
[2920] Percent amino acid sequence identity may also be determined
using the sequence comparison program NCBI-BLAST2 (Altschul et al.,
Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402 (1997)). The NCBI-BLAST2 sequence
comparison program may be downloaded from
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. NCBI-BLAST2 uses several search
parameters, wherein all of those search parameters are set to
default values including, for example, unmask=yes, strand=all,
expected occurrences=10, minimum low complexity length=1515,
multi-pass e-value=0.01, constant for multi-pass=25, dropoff for
fmal gapped alignment=25 and scoring matrix=BLOSUM62.
[2921] In situations where NCBI-BLAST2 is employed for amino acid
sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given
amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid
sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino
acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid
sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence
B) is calculated as follows:
100 times the fraction X/Y
[2922] where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as
identical matches by the sequence alignment program NCBI-BLAST2 in
that program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total
number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that
where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the
length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity
of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to
A.
[2923] "PRO variant polynucleotide" or "PRO variant nucleic acid
sequence" means a nucleic acid molecule which encodes an active PRO

sequence as disclosed herein, a full-length native sequence PRO
polypeptide sequence lacking the signal peptide as disclosed
herein, an extracellular domain of a PRO polypeptide, with or
without the signal sequence, as disclosed herein or any other
fragment of a full-length PRO polypeptide sequence as disclosed
herein. Variants do not encompass the native nucleotide
sequence.
[2924] Ordinarily, PRO variant polynucleotides are at least about
30 nucleotides in length, often at least about 60 nucleotides in
length, more often at least about 90 nucleotides in length, more
often at least about 120 nucleotides in length, more often at least
about 150 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 180
nucleotides in length, more often at least about 210 nucleotides in

about 300 nucleotides in length, more often at l east about 450
nucleotides in length, more often at least about 600 nucleotides in
length, more often at least about 900 nucleotides in length, or
more.
[2925] "Percent (%) nucleic acid sequence identity" with respect to
PRO-encoding nucleic acid sequences identified herein is defined as
the percentage of nucleotides in a candidate sequence that are
identical with the nucleotides in the PRO nucleic acid sequence of
interest, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if
necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity.
Alignment for purposes of determining percent nucleic acid sequence
identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill
in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer
software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR)
software. For purposes herein, however, % nucleic acid sequence
identity values are generated using the sequence comparison
computer program ALIGN-2, wherein the complete source code for the
ALIGN-2 program is provided in Table 1 below. The ALIGN-2 sequence
comparison computer program was authored by Genentech, Inc. and the
source code shown in Table 1 below has been filed with user
documentation in the U.S. Copyright Office, Washington D.C., 20559,
where it is registered under U.S. Copyright Registration No.
TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is publicly available through
Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, Calif. or may be compiled
from the source code provided in Table 1 below. The ALIGN-2 program
should be compiled for use on a UNIX operating system, preferably
digital UNIX V4.OD. All sequence comparison parameters are set by
the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.
[2926] In situations where ALIGN-2 is employed for nucleic acid
sequence comparisons, the % nucleic acid sequence identity of a
given nucleic acid sequence C to, with, or against a given nucleic
acid sequence D (which can alternatively be phrased as a given
nucleic acid sequence C that has or comprises a certain % nucleic
acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given nucleic acid
sequence D) is calculated as follows:
100 times the fraction W/Z
[2927] where W is the number of nucleotides scored as identical
matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program's
alignment of C and D, and where Z is the total number of
nucleotides in D. It will be appreciated that where the length of
nucleic acid sequence C is not equal to the length of nucleic acid
sequence D, the % nucleic acid sequence identity of C to D will not
equal the % nucleic acid sequence identity of D to C. As examples
of % nucleic acid sequence identity calculations, Tables 4 and 5,
demonstrate how to calculate the % nucleic acid sequence identity
of the nucleic acid sequence designated "Comparison DNA" to the
nucleic acid sequence designated "PRO-DNA", wherein "PRO-DNA"
represents a hypothetical PRO-encoding nucleic acid sequence of
interest, "Comparison DNA" represents the nucleotide sequence of a
nucleic acid molecule against which the "PRO-DNA" nucleic acid
molecule of interest is being compared, and "N, "L" and "V" each
represent different hypothetical nucleotides.
[2928] Unless specifically stated otherwise, all % nucleic acid
sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described in
the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer
program. However, % nucleic acid sequence identity values may also
be obtained as described below by using the WU-BLAST-2 computer
program (Altschul et al., Methods in Enzymology 266:460-480
(1996)). Most of the WU-BLAST-2 search parameters are set to the
default values. Those not set to default values, i.e., the
adjustable parameters, are set with the following values: overlap
span=1, overlap fraction=0.125, word threshold (T)=11, and scoring
matrix=BLOSUM62. When WU-BLAST-2 is employed, a % nucleic acid
sequence identity value is determined by dividing (a) the number of
matching identical nucleotides between the nucleic acid sequence of
the PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule of interest
having a sequence derived from the native sequence PRO
polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid and the comparison nucleic acid
molecule of interest (i.e., the sequence against which the PRO
polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule of interest is being
compared which may be a variant PRO polynucleotide) as determined
by WU-BLAST-2 by (b) the total number of nucleotides of the PRO
polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule of interest. For
example, in the statement "an isolated nucleic acid molecule
comprising a nucleic acid sequence A which has or having at least
80% nucleic acid sequence identity to the nucleic acid sequence B",
the nucleic acid sequence A is the comparison nucleic acid molecule
of interest and the nucleic acid sequence B is the nucleic acid
sequence of the PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule of
interest.
[2929] Percent nucleic acid sequence identity may also be
determined using the sequence comparison program NCBI-BLAST2
(Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402 (1997)). The
NCBI-BLAST2 sequence comparison program may be downloaded from
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. NCBI-BLAST2 uses several search
parameters, wherein all of those search parameters are set to
default values including, for example, unmask=yes, strand=all,
expected occurrences=10, minimum low complexity length=15/5,
multi-pass e-value=0.01, constant for multi-pass=25, dropoff for
final gapped alignment=25 and scoring matrix BLOSUM62.
[2930] In situations where NCBI-BLAST2 is employed for sequence
comparisons, the % nucleic acid sequence identity of a given
nucleic acid sequence C to, with, or against a given nucleic acid
sequence D (which can alternatively be phrased as a given nucleic
acid sequence C that has or comprises a certain % nucleic acid
sequence identity to, with, or against a given nucleic acid
sequence D) is calculated as follows:
100 times the fraction W/Z
[2931] where W is the number of nucleotides scored as identical
matches by the sequence alignment program NCBI-BLAST2 in that
program's alignment of C and D, and where Z is the total number of
nucleotides in D. It will be appreciated that where the length of
nucleic acid sequence C is not equal to the length of nucleic acid
sequence D, the % nucleic acid sequence identity of C to D will not
equal the % nucleic acid sequence identity of D to C.
[2932] In other embodiments, PRO variant polynucleotides are
nucleic acid molecules that encode an active PRO polypeptide and
which are capable of hybridizing, preferably under stringent
hybridization and wash conditions, to nucleotide sequences encoding
a full-length PRO polypeptide as disclosed herein. PRO variant
polypeptides may be those that are encoded by a PRO variant
polynucleotide.
[2933] The term "positives", in the context of sequence comparison
performed as described above, includes residues in the sequences
compared that are not identical but have similar properties (e.g.
as a result of conservative substitutions, see Table 6 below). For
purposes herein, the % value of positives is determined by dividing
(a) the number of amino acid residues scoring a positive value
between the PRO polypeptide amino acid sequence of interest having
a sequence derived from the native PRO polypeptide sequence and the
comparison amino acid sequence of interest (i.e., the amino acid
sequence against which the PRO polypeptide sequence is being
compared) as determined in the BLOSUM62 matrix of WU-BLAST-2 by (b)
the total number of amino acid residues of the PRO polypeptide of
interest.
[2934] Unless specifically stated otherwise, the % value of
positives is calculated as described in the immediately preceding
paragraph. However, in the context of the amino acid sequence
identity comparisons performed as described for ALIGN-2 and
NCBI-BLAST-2 above, includes amino acid residues in the sequences
compared that are not only identical, but also those that have
similar properties. Amino acid residues that score a positive value
to an amino acid residue of interest are those that are either
identical to the amino acid residue of interest or are a preferred
substitution (as defined in Table 6 below) of the amino acid
residue of interest.
[2935] For amino acid sequence comparisons using ALIGN-2 or
NCBI-BLAST2, the % value of positives of a given amino acid
sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B
(which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence
A that has or comprises a certain % positives to, with, or against
a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows:
100 times the fraction X/Y
[2936] where X is the number of amino acid residues scoring a
positive value as defined above by the sequence alignment program
ALIGN-2 or NCBI-BLAST2 in that program's alignment of A and B, and
where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be
appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not
equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % positives of A
to B will not equal the % positives of B to A.
[2937] "Isolated," when used to describe the various polypeptides
disclosed herein, means polypeptide that has been identified and
separated and/or recovered from a component of its natural
environment. Contaminant components of its natural environment are
materials that would typically interfere with diagnostic or
therapeutic uses for the polypeptide, and may include enzymes,
hormones, and other proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous solutes. In
preferred embodiments, the polypeptide will be purified (1) to a
degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or
internal amino acid sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator,
or (2) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing or reducing
conditions using Coomassie blue or, preferably, silver stain.
Isolated polypeptide includes polypeptide in situ within
recombinant cells, since at least one component of the PRO
polypeptide natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily,
however, isolated polypeptide will be prepared by at least one
purification step.
[2938] An "isolated" PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid or other
polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid is a nucleic acid molecule that
is identified and separated from at least one contaminant nucleic
acid molecule with which it is ordinarily associated in the natural
source of the polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid. An isolated
polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule is other than in the
form or setting in which it is found in nature. Isolated
polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecules therefore are
distinguished from the specific polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid
molecule as it exists in natural cells. However, an isolated
polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule includes
polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecules contained in cells that
ordinarily express the polypeptide where, for example, the nucleic
acid molecule is in a chromosomal location different from that of
natural cells.
[2939] The term "control sequences" refers to DNA sequences
necessary for the expression of an operably linked coding sequence
in a particular host organism. The control sequences that are
suitable for prokaryotes, for example, include a promoter,
optionally an operator sequence, and a ribosome binding site.
Eukaryotic cells are known to utilize promoters, polyadenylation
signals, and enhancers.
[2940] Nucleic acid is "operably linked" when it is placed into a
functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For
example, DNA for a presequence or secretory leader is operably
linked to DNA for a polypeptide if it is expressed as a preprotein
that participates in the secretion of the polypeptide; a promoter
or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects
the transcription of the sequence; or a ribosome binding site is
operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned so as to
facilitate translation. Generally, "operably linked" means that the
DNA sequences being linked are contiguous, and, in the case of a
secretory leader, contiguous and in reading phase. However,
enhancers do not have to be contiguous. Linking is accomplished by
ligation at convenient restriction sites. If such sites do not
exist, the synthetic oligonucleotide adaptors or linkers are used
in accordance with conventional practice.
[2941] The term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and
specifically covers, for example, single anti-PRO monoclonal
antibodies (including agonist, antagonist, and neutralizing
antibodies), anti-PRO antibody compositions with polyepitopic
specificity, single chain anti-PRO antibodies, and fragments of
anti-PRO antibodies (see below). The term "monoclonal antibody" as
used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of
substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual
antibodies comprising the population are identical except for
possible naturally-occurring mutations that may be present in minor
amounts.
[2942] "Stringency" of hybridization reactions is readily
determinable by one of ordinary skill in the art, and generally is
an empirical calculation dependent upon probe length, washing
temperature, and salt concentration. In general, longer probes
require higher temperatures for proper annealing, while shorter
probes need lower temperatures. Hybridization generally depends on
the ability of denatured DNA to reanneal when complementary strands
are present in an environment below their melting temperature. The
higher the degree of desired homology between the probe and
hybridizable sequence, the higher the relative temperature which
can be used. As a result, it follows that higher relative
temperatures would tend to make the reaction conditions more
stringent, while lower temperatures less so. For additional details
and explanation of stringency of hybridization reactions, see
Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Wiley
Interscience Publishers, (1995).
[2943] "Stringent conditions" or "high stringency conditions", as
defined herein, may be identified by those that: (1) employ low
ionic strength and high temperature for washing, for example 0.015
M sodium chloride/0.0015 M sodium citrate/0. 1% sodium dodecyl
sulfate at 50.degree. C.; (2) employ during hybridization a
denaturing agent, such as formamide, for example, 50% (v/v)
formamide with 0.1% bovine serum albumin/0. 1% Ficoll/0.1%
polyvinylpyrrolidone/50 mM sodium phosphate buffer at pH 6.5 with
750 mM sodium chloride, 75 mM sodium citrate at 42.degree. C.; or
(3) employ 50% formamide, 5.times. SSC (0.75 M NaCl, 0.075 M sodium
citrate), 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 6.8), 0.1% sodium
pyrophosphate, 5.times. Denhardt's solution, sonicated salmon sperm
DNA (50 .mu.g/ml), 0.1% SDS, and 10% dextran sulfate at 42.degree.
C., with washes at 42.degree. C. in 0.2.times. SSC (sodium
chloride/sodium citrate) and 50% formamide at 55.degree. C.,
followed by a high-stringency wash consisting of 0.1.times. SSC
containing EDTA at 55.degree. C.
[2944] "Moderately stringent conditions" may be identified as
described by Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory
Manual, New York: Cold Spring Harbor Press, 1989, and include the
use of washing solution and hybridization conditions (e.g.,
temperature, ionic strength and %SDS) less stringent that those
described above. An example of moderately stringent conditions is
overnight incubation at 37.degree. C. in a solution comprising: 20%
formamide, 5.times. SSC (150 mM NaCl, 15 mM trisodium citrate), 50
mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.6), 5.times. Denhardt's solution, 10%
dextran sulfate, and 20 mg/ml denatured sheared sahnon sperm DNA,
followed by washing the filters in 1.times. SSC at about
37-50.degree. C. The skilled artisan will recognize how to adjust
the temperature, ionic strength, etc. as necessary to accommodate
factors such as probe length and the like.
[2945] The term "epitope tagged" when used herein refers to a
chimeric polypeptide comprising a PRO polypeptide fused to a "tag
polypeptide". The tag polypeptide has enough residues to provide an
epitope against which an antibody can be made, yet is short enough
such that it does not interfere with activity of the polypeptide to
which it is fused. The tag polypeptide preferably also is fairly
unique so that the antibody does not substantially cross-react with
other epitopes. Suitable tag polypeptides generally have at least
six amino acid residues and usually between about 8 and 50 amino
acid residues (preferably, between about 10 and 20 amino acid
residues).
[2946] As used herein, the term "immunoadhesin" designates
antibody-like molecules which combine the binding specificity of a
heterologous protein (an "adhesin") with the effector functions of
immunoglobulin constant domains. Structurally, the immunoadhesins
comprise a fusion of an amino acid sequence with the desired
binding specificity which is other than the antigen recognition and
binding site of an antibody (i.e., is "heterologous"), and an
immunoglobulin constant domain sequence. The adhesin part of an
immunoadhesin molecule typically is a contiguous amino acid
sequence comprising at least the binding site of a receptor or a
ligand. The immunoglobulin constant domain sequence in the
immunoadhesin may be obtained from any immunoglobulin, such as
IgG-1, IgG-2, IgG-3, or IgG-4 subtypes, IgA (including IgA-1 and
IgA-2), IgE, IgD or IgM.
[2947] "Active" or "activity" for the purposes herein refers to
form(s) of a PRO polypeptide which retain a biological and/or an
immunological activity of native or naturally-occurring PRO,
wherein "biological" activity refers to a biological function
(either inhibitory or stimulatory) caused by a native or
naturally-occurring PRO other than the ability to induce the
production of an antibody against an antigenic epitope possessed by
a native or naturally-occurring PRO and an "immunological" activity
refers to the ability to induce the production of an antibody
against an antigenic epitope possessed by a native or
naturally-occurring PRO.
[2948] The term "antagonist" is used in the broadest sense, and
includes any molecule that partially or fully blocks, inhibits, or
neutralizes a biological activity of a native PRO polypeptide
disclosed herein. In a similar manner, the term "agonist" is used
in the broadest sense and includes any molecule that mimics a
biological activity of a native PRO polypeptide disclosed herein.
Suitable agonist or antagonist molecules specifically include
agonist or antagonist antibodies or antibody fragments, fragments
or amino acid sequence variants of native PRO polypeptides,
peptides, antisense oligonucleotides, small organic molecules, etc.
Methods for identifying agonists or antagonists of a PRO
polypeptide may comprise contacting a PRO polypeptide with a
candidate agonist or antagonist molecule and measuring a detectable
change in one or more biological activities normally associated
with the PRO polypeptide.
[2949] "Treatment" refers to both therapeutic treatment and
prophylactic or preventative measures, wherein the object is to
prevent or slow down (lessen) the targeted pathologic condition or
disorder. Those in need of treatment include those already with the
disorder as well as those prone to have the disorder or those in
whom the disorder is to be prevented.
[2950] "Chronic" administration refers to administration of the
agent(s) in a continuous mode as opposed to an acute mode, so as to
maintain the initial therapeutic effect (activity) for an extended
period of time. "Intermittent" administration is treatment that is
not consecutively done without interruption, but rather is cyclic
in nature.
[2951] "Mammal" for purposes of treatment refers to any animal
classified as a mammal, including humans, domestic and farm
animals, and zoo, sports, or pet animals, such as dogs, cats,
cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, goats, rabbits, etc. Preferably, the
mammal is human.
[2952] Administration "in combination with" one or more further
therapeutic agents includes simultaneous (concurrent) and
consecutive administration in any order.
[2953] "Carriers" as used herein include pharmaceutically
acceptable carriers, excipients, or stabilizers which are nontoxic
to the cell or mammal being exposed thereto at the dosages and
concentrations employed. Often the physiologically acceptable
carrier is an aqueous pH buffered solution. Examples of
physiologically acceptable carriers include buffers such as
phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including
ascorbic acid; low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues)
polypeptide; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or
immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone;
amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, arginine or
lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates
including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as
EDTA; sugar alcohols such as mannitol or sorbitol; salt-forming
counterions such as sodium; and/or nonionic surfactants such as
TWEEN.TM., polyethylene glycol (PEG), and PLURONICS.TM..
[2954] "Antibody fragments" comprise a portion of an intact
antibody, preferably the antigen binding or variable region of the
intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab',
F(ab').sub.2, and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies
(Zapata et al., Protein Eng. 8(10): 1057-1062 [1995]); single-chain
antibody molecules; and multispecific antibodies formed from
antibody fragments.
[2955] Papain digestion of antibodies produces two identical
antigen-binding fragments, called "Fab" fragments, each with a
single antigen-binding site, and a residual "Fc" fragment, a
designation reflecting the ability to crystallize readily. Pepsin
treatment yields an F(ab').sub.2 fragment that has two
antigen-combining sites and is still capable of cross-linking
antigen.
[2956] "Fv" is the minimum antibody fragment which contains a
complete antigen-recognition and -binding site. This region
consists of a dimer of one heavy- and one light-chain variable
domain in tight, non-covalent association. It is in this
configuration that the three CDRs of each variable domain interact
to define an antigen-binding site on the surface of the
V.sub.H-V.sub.L dimer. Collectively, the six CDRs confer
antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single
variable domain (or half of an Fv comprising only three CDRs
specific for an antigen) has the ability to recognize and bind
antigen, although at a lower affinity than the entire binding
site.
[2957] The Fab fragment also contains the constant domain of the
light chain and the first constant domain (CH1) of the heavy chain.
Fab fragments differ from Fab' fragments by the addition of a few
residues at the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain
including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region.
Fab'-SH is the designation herein for Fab' in which the cysteine
residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group.
F(ab').sub.2 antibody fragments originally were produced as pairs
of Fab' fragments which have hinge cysteines between them. Other
chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.
[2958] The "light chains" of antibodies (immunoglobulins) from any
vertebrate species can be assigned to one of two clearly distinct
types, called kappa and lambda, based on the amino acid sequences
of their constant domains.
[2959] Depending on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain
of their heavy chains, immunoglobulins can be assigned to different
classes. There are five major classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD,
IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into
subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgGI, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, and
IgA2.
[2960] "Single-chain Fv" or "sFv" antibody fragments comprise the
V.sub.H and V.sub.L domains of antibody, wherein these domains are
present in a single polypeptide chain. Preferably, the Fv
polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linker between the
V.sub.H and V.sub.L domains which enables the sFv to form the
desired structure for antigen binding. For a review of sFv, see
Pluckthun in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113,
Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315
(1994).
[2961] The term "diabodies" refers to small antibody fragments with
two antigen-binding sites, which fragments comprise a heavy-chain
variable domain (V.sub.H) connected to a light-chain variable
domain (V.sub.L) in the same polypeptide chain (V.sub.H-V.sub.L).
By using a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the
two domains on the same chain, the domains are forced to pair with
the complementary domains of another chain and create two
antigen-binding sites. Diabodies are described more fully in, for
example, EP 404,097; WO 93/11161; and Hollinger et al., Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA, 90:6444-6448 (1993).
[2962] An "isolated" antibody is one which has been identified and
separated and/or recovered from a component of its natural
environment. Contaminant components of its natural environment are
materials which would interfere with diagnostic or therapeutic uses
for the antibody, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other
proteinaceous or nonproteinaceous solutes. In preferred
embodiments, the antibody will be purified (1) to greater than 95%
by weight of antibody as determined by the Lowry method, and most
preferably more than 99% by weight, (2) to a degree sufficient to
obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid
sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or (3) to homogeneity
by SDS-PAGE under reducing or nonreducing conditions using
Coomassie blue or, preferably, silver stain. Isolated antibody
includes the antibody in situ within recombinant cells since at
least one component of the antibody's natural environment will not
be present. Ordinarily, however, isolated antibody will be prepared
by at least one purification step.
[2963] The word "label" when used herein refers to a detectable
compound or composition which is conjugated directly or indirectly
to the antibody so as to generate a "labeled" antibody. The label
may be detectable by itself (e.g. radioisotope labels or
fluorescent labels) or, in the case of an enzymatic label, may
catalyze chemical alteration of a substrate compound or composition
which is detectable.
[2964] By 'solid phase' is meant a non-aqueous matrix to which the
antibody of the present invention can adhere. Examples of solid
phases encompassed herein include those formed partially or
entirely of glass (e.g., controlled pore glass), polysaccharides
(e.g., agarose), polyacrylamides, polystyrene, polyvinyl alcohol
and silicones. In certain embodiments, depending on the context,
the solid phase can comprise the well of an assay plate; in others
it is a purification column (e.g., an affinity chromatography
column). This term also includes a discontinuous solid phase of
discrete particles, such as those described in U.S. Pat. No.
4,275,149.
[2965] A "liposome" is a small vesicle composed of various types of
lipids, phospholipids and/or surfactant which is useful for
delivery of a drug (such as a PRO polypeptide or antibody thereto)
to a mammal. The components of the liposome are commonly arranged
in a bilayer formation, similar to the lipid arrangement of
biological membranes.
[2966] A "small molecule" is defined herein to have a molecular
weight below about 500 Daltons.

35). Accordingly, it is presently believed that PRO1384 disclosed
in the present application is a newly identified member of the NKG2
family and may possess MHC activation/inactivation activities
typical of the NKG2 family.
[3331] B. PRO Polypeptide Variants
[3332] In addition to the full-length native sequence PRO
polypeptides described herein, it is contemplated that PRO variants
can be prepared. PRO variants can be prepared by introducing
appropriate nucleotide changes into the PRO DNA, and/or by
synthesis of the desired PRO polypeptide. Those skilled in the art
will appreciate that amino acid changes may alter
post-translational processes of the PRO, such as changing the
number or position of glycosylation sites or altering the membrane
anchoring characteristics.
[3333] Variations in the native full-length sequence PRO or in
various domains of the PRO described herein, can be made, for
example, using any of the techniques and guidelines for
conservative and non-conservative mutations set forth, for
instance, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,364,934. Variations may be a
substitution, deletion or insertion of one or more codons encoding
the PRO that results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the
PRO as compared with the native sequence PRO. Optionally the
variation is by substitution of at least one amino acid with any
other amino acid in one or more of the domains of the PRO. Guidance
in determining which amino acid residue may be inserted,
substituted or deleted without adversely affecting the desired
activity may be found by comparing the sequence of the PRO with
that of homologous known protein molecules and minimizing the
number of amino acid sequence changes made in regions of high
homology. Amino acid substitutions can be the result of replacing
one amino acid with another amino acid having similar structural
and/or chemical properties, such as the replacement of a leucine
with a serine, i.e., conservative amino acid replacements.
Insertions or deletions may optionally be in the range of about 1
to 5 amino acids. The variation allowed may be determined by
systematically making insertions, deletions or substitutions of
amino acids in the sequence and testing the resulting variants for
activity exhibited by the full-length or mature native
sequence.
[3334] PRO polypeptide fragments are provided herein. Such
fragments may be truncated at the N-terminus or C-terminus, or may
lack internal residues, for example, when compared with a full
length native protein. Certain fragments lack amino acid residues
that are not essential for a desired biological activity of the PRO
polypeptide.
[3335] PRO fragments may be prepared by any of a number of
conventional techniques. Desired peptide fragments may be
chemically synthesized. An alternative approach involves generating
PRO fragments by enzymatic digestion, e.g., by treating the protein
with an enzyme known to cleave proteins at sites defined by
particular amino acid residues, or by digesting the DNA with
suitable restriction enzymes and isolating the desired fragment.
Yet another suitable technique involves isolating and amplifying a
DNA fragment encoding a desired polypeptide fragment, by polymerase
chain reaction (PCR). Oligonucleotides that define the desired
termini of the DNA fragment are employed at the 5' and 3' primers
in the PCR. Preferably, PRO polypeptide fragments share at least
one biological and/or immunological activity with the native PRO
polypeptide disclosed herein.
[3336] In particular embodiments, conservative substitutions of
interest are shown in Table 6 under the heading of preferred
substitutions. If such substitutions result in a change in
biological activity, then more substantial changes, denominated
exemplary substitutions in Table 6, or as further described below
in reference to amino acid classes, are introduced and the products
screened.

[3337] Substantial modifications in function or immunological
identity of the PRO polypeptide are accomplished by selecting
substitutions that differ significantly in their effect on
maintaining (a) the structure of the polypeptide backbone in the
area of the substitution, for example, as a sheet or helical
conformation, (b) the charge or hydrophobicity of the molecule at
the target site, or (c) the bulk of the side chain. Naturally
occurring residues are divided into groups based on common
side-chain properties:
[3338] (1) hydrophobic: norleucine, met, ala, val, leu, ile;
[3339] (2) neutral hydrophilic: cys, ser, thr;
[3340] (3) acidic: asp, glu;
[3341] (4) basic: asn, gin, his, lys, arg;
[3342] (5) residues that influence chain orientation: gly, pro;
and
[3343] (6) aromatic: trp, tyr, phe.
[3344] Non-conservative substitutions will entail exchanging a
member of one of these classes for another class. Such substituted
residues also may be introduced into the conservative substitution
sites or, more preferably, into the remaining (non-conserved)
sites.
[3345] The variations can be made using methods known in the art
such as oligonucleotide-mediated (site-directed) mutagenesis,
alanine scanning, and PCR mutagenesis. Site-directed mutagenesis
[Carter et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 13:4331 (1986); Zoller et al.,
Nucl. Acids Res., 10:6487 (1987)], cassette mutagenesis [Wells et
al., Gene, 34:315 (1985)], restriction selection mutagenesis [Wells
et al., Philos. Trans. R. Soc. London SerA, 317:415 (1986)] or
other known techniques can be performed on the cloned DNA to
produce the PRO variant DNA.
[3346] Scanning amino acid analysis can also be employed to
identify one or more amino acids along a contiguous sequence. Among
the preferred scanning amino acids are relatively small, neutral
amino acids. Such amino acids include alanine, glycine, serine, and
cysteine. Alanine is typically a preferred scanning amino acid
among this group because it eliminates the side-chain beyond the
beta-carbon and is less likely to alter the main-chain conformation
of the variant [Cunningham and Wells, Science, 244: 1081-1085
(1989)]. Alanine is also typically preferred because it is the most
common amino acid. Further, it is frequently found in both buried
and exposed positions [Creighton, The Proteins, (W.H. Freeman &
Co., N.Y.); Chothia, J. Mol. Biol., 150:1 (1976)]. If alanine
substitution does not yield adequate amounts of variant, an
isoteric amino acid can be used.
[3347] C. Modifications of PRO
[3348] Covalent modifications of PRO are included within the scope
of this invention. One type of covalent modification includes
reacting targeted amino acid residues of a PRO polypeptide with an
organic derivatizing agent that is capable of reacting with
selected side chains or the N- or C-terminal residues of the PRO.
Derivatization with bifunctional agents is useful, for instance,
for crosslinking PRO to a water-insoluble support matrix or surface
for use in the method for purifying anti-PRO antibodies, and
vice-versa. Commonly used crosslinking agents include, e.g.,
1,1-bis(diazoacetyl)-2-phenylethane, glutaraldehyde,
N-hydroxysuccinimide esters, for example, esters with
4-azidosalicylic acid, homobifunctional imidoesters, including
disuccinimidyl esters such as
3,3'-dithiobis(succinimidylpropionate), bifunctional maleimides
such as bis-N-maleimido-1,8-octane and agents such as
methyl-3-[(p-azidophenyl- )dithio]propioimidate.
[3349] Other modifications include deamidation of glutaminyl and
asparaginyl residues to the corresponding glutamyl and aspartyl
residues, respectively, hydroxylation of proline and lysine,
phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups of seryl or threonyl residues,
methylation of the .alpha.-amino groups of lysine, arginine, and
histidine side chains [T.E. Creighton, Proteins: Structure and
Molecular Properties, W.H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, pp.
79-86 (1983)], acetylation of the N-terminal amine, and amidation
of any C-terminal carboxyl group.
[3350] Another type of covalent modification of the PRO polypeptide
included within the scope of this invention comprises altering the
native glycosylation pattern of the polypeptide. "Altering the
native glycosylation pattern" is intended for purposes herein to
mean deleting one or more carbohydrate moieties found in native
sequence PRO (either by removing the underlying glycosylation site
or by deleting the glycosylation by chemical and/or enzymatic
means), and/or adding one or more glycosylation sites that are not
present in the native sequence PRO. In addition, the phrase
includes qualitative changes in the glycosylation of the native
proteins, involving a change in the nature and proportions of the
various carbohydrate moieties present.
[3351] Addition of glycosylation sites to the PRO polypeptide may
be accomplished by altering the amino acid sequence. The alteration
may be made, for example, by the addition of, or substitution by,
one or more serine or threonine residues to the native sequence PRO
(for O-linked glycosylation sites). The PRO amino acid sequence may
optionally be altered through changes at the DNA level,
particularly by mutating the DNA encoding the PRO polypeptide at
preselected bases such that codons are generated that will
translate into the desired amino acids.
[3352] Another means of increasing the number of carbohydrate
moieties on the PRO polypeptide is by chemical or enzymatic
coupling of glycosides to the polypeptide. Such methods are
described in the art, e.g., in WO 87/05330 published Sep. 11, 1987,
and in Aplin and Wriston, CRC Crit. Rev. Biochem., pp. 259-306
(1981).
[3353] Removal of carbohydrate moieties present on the PRO
polypeptide may be accomplished chemically or enzymatically or by
mutational substitution of codons encoding for amino acid residues
that serve as targets for glycosylation. Chemical deglycosylation
techniques are known in the art and described, for instance, by
Hakimuddin, et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophys., 259:52 (1987) and by
Edge et al., Anal. Biochem., 118:131 (1981). Enzymatic cleavage of
carbohydrate moieties on polypeptides can be achieved by the use of
a variety of endo- and exo-glycosidases as described by Thotakura
et al., Meth. Enzymol., 138:350 (1987).
[3354] Another type of covalent modification of PRO comprises
linking the PRO polypeptide to one of a variety of nonproteinaceous
polymers, e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol, or
polyoxyalkylenes, in the manner set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos.
4,640,835; 4,496,689; 4,301,144; 4,670,417; 4,791,192 or
4,179,337.
[3355] The PRO of the present invention may also be modified in a
way to form a chimeric molecule comprising PRO fused to another,
heterologous polypeptide or amino acid sequence.
[3356] In one embodiment, such a chimeric molecule comprises a
fusion of the PRO with a tag polypeptide which provides an epitope
to which an anti-tag antibody can selectively bind. The epitope tag
is generally placed at the amino- or carboxyl-terminus of the PRO.
The presence of such epitope-tagged forms of the PRO can be
detected using an antibody against the tag polypeptide. Also,
provision of the epitope tag enables the PRO to be readily purified
by affinity purification using an anti-tag antibody or another type
of affinity matrix that binds to the epitope tag. Various tag
polypeptides and their respective antibodies are well known in the
art. Examples include poly-histidine (poly-his) or
poly-histidine-glycine (poly-his-gly) tags; the flu HA tag
polypeptide and its antibody 12CA5 [Field et al., Mol. Cell. Biol.,
8:2159-2165 (1988)]; the c-myc tag and the 8F9, 3C7, 6E10, G4, B7
and 9E10 antibodies thereto [Evan et al., Molecular and Cellular
Biology, 5:3610-3616 (1985)]; and the Herpes Simplex virus
glycoprotein D (gD) tag and its antibody [Paborsky et al., Protein
Engineering, 3(6):547-553 (1990)]. Other tag polypeptides include
the Flag-peptide [Hopp et al., BioTechnology, 6:1204-1210 (1988)];
the KT3 epitope peptide [Martin et al., Science, 255:192-194
(1992)]; an .alpha.-tubulin epitope peptide [Skinner et al., J.
Biol. Chem., 266:15163-15166 (1991)]; and the T7 gene 10 protein
peptide tag [Lutz-Freyermuth et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,
87:6393-6397 (1990)].
[3357] In an alternative embodiment, the chimeric molecule may
comprise a fusion of the PRO with an immunoglobulin or a particular
region of an immunoglobulin. For a bivalent form of the chimeric
molecule (also referred to as an "immunoadhesin"), such a fusion
could be to the Fc region of an IgG molecule. The Ig fusions
preferably include the substitution of a soluble (transmembrane
domain deleted or inactivated) form of a PRO polypeptide in place
of at least one variable region within an Ig molecule. In a
particularly preferred embodiment, the immunoglobulin fusion
includes the hinge, CH2 and CH3, or the hinge, CH1, CH2 and CH3
regions of an IgGl molecule. For the production of immunoglobulin
fusions see also U.S. Pat. No. 5,428,130 issued Jun. 27, 1995.
[3358] D. Preparation of PRO
[3359] The description below relates primarily to production of PRO
by culturing cells transformed or transfected with a vector
containing PRO nucleic acid. It is, of course, contemplated that
alternative methods, which are well known in the art, may be
employed to prepare PRO. For instance, the PRO sequence, or
portions thereof, may be produced by direct peptide synthesis using
solid-phase techniques [see, e.g., Stewart et al., Solid-Phase
Peptide Synthesis, W.H. Freeman Co., San Francisco, Calif. (1969);
Merrifield, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 85:2149-2154 (1963)]. In vitro
protein synthesis may be performed using manual techniques or by
automation. Automated synthesis may be accomplished, for instance,
using an Applied Biosystems Peptide Synthesizer (Foster City,
Calif.) using manufacturer's instructions. Various portions of the
PRO may be chemically synthesized separately and combined using
chemical or enzymatic methods to produce the full-length PRO.
1. Isolation of DNA Encoding PRO
[3360] DNA encoding PRO may be obtained from a EDNA library
prepared from tissue believed to possess the PRO mRNA and to
express it at a detectable level. Accordingly, human PRO DNA can be
conveniently obtained from a cDNA library prepared from human
tissue, such as described in the Examples. The PRO-encoding gene
may also be obtained from a genomic library or by known synthetic
procedures (e.g., automated nucleic acid synthesis).
[3361] Libraries can be screened with probes (such as antibodies to
the PRO or oligonucleotides of at least about 20-80 bases) designed
to identify the gene of interest or the protein encoded by it.
Screening the cDNA or genomic library with the selected probe may
be conducted using standard procedures, such as described in
Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (New York:
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1989). An alternative means to
isolate the gene encoding PRO is to use PCR methodology [Sambrook
et al., supra; Dieffenbach et al., PCR Primer: A Laboratory Manual
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1995)].
[3362] The Examples below describe techniques for screening a cDNA
library. The oligonucleotide sequences selected as probes should be
of sufficient length and sufficiently unambiguous that false
positives are minimized. The oligonucleotide is preferably labeled
such that it can be detected upon hybridization to DNA in the
library being screened. Methods of labeling are well known in the
art, and include the use of radiolabels like .sup.32P-labeled ATP,
biotinylation or enzyme labeling. Hybridization conditions,
including moderate stringency and high stringency, are provided in
Sambrook et al., supra.
[3363] Sequences identified in such library screening methods can
be compared and aligned to other known sequences deposited and
available in public databases such as GenBank or other private
sequence databases. Sequence identity (at either the amino acid or
nucleotide level) within defined regions of the molecule or across
the full-length sequence can be determined using methods known in
the art and as described herein.
[3364] Nucleic acid having protein coding sequence may be obtained
by screening selected cDNA or genomic libraries using the deduced
amino acid sequence disclosed herein for the first time, and, if
necessary, using conventional primer extension procedures as
described in Sambrook et al., supra, to detect precursors and
processing intermediates of mRNA that may not have been
reverse-transcribed into cDNA.
2. Selection and Transformation of Host Cells
[3365] Host cells are transfected or transformed with expression or
cloning vectors described herein for PRO production and cultured in
conventional nutrient media modified as appropriate for inducing
promoters, selecting transformants, or amplifying the genes
encoding the desired sequences. The culture conditions, such as
media, temperature, pH and the like, can be selected by the skilled
artisan without undue experimentation. In general, principles,
protocols, and practical techniques for maximizing the productivity
of cell cultures can be found in Mammalian Cell Biotechnology: a
Practical Approach, M. Butler, ed. (IRL Press, 1991) and Sambrook
et al., supra.
[3366] Methods of eukaryotic cell transfection and prokaryotic cell
transformation are known to the ordinarily skilled artisan, for
example, CaCl.sub.2, CaPO.sub.4, liposome-mediated and
electroporation. Depending on the host cell used, transformation is
performed using standard techniques appropriate to such cells. The
calcium treatment employing calcium chloride, as described in
Sambrook et al., supra, or electroporation is generally used for
prokaryotes. Infection with Agrobacterium tumefaciens is used for
transformation of certain plant cells, as described by Shaw et al.,
Gene, 23:315 (1983) and WO 89/05859 published Jun. 29, 1989. For
mammalian cells without such cell walls, the calcium phosphate
precipitation method of Graham and van der Eb, Virology, 52:456-457
(1978) can be employed. General aspects of mammalian cell host
system transfections have been described in U.S. Pat. No.
4,399,216. Transformations into yeast are typically carried out
according to the method of Van Solingen et al., J. Bact., 130:946
(1977) and Hsiao et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA), 76:3829
(1979). However, other methods for introducing DNA into cells, such
as by nuclear microinjection, electroporation, bacterial protoplast
fusion with intact cells, or polycations, e.g., polybrene,
polyornithine, may also be used. For various techniques for
transforming mammalian cells, see Keown et al., Methods in
Enzymology, 185:527-537 (1990) and Mansour et al., Nature,
336:348-352 (1988).
[3367] Suitable host cells for cloning or expressing the DNA in the
vectors herein include prokaryote, yeast, or higher eukaryote
cells. Suitable prokaryotes include but are not limited to
eubacteria, such as Gram-negative or Gram-positive organisms, for
example, Enterobacteriaceae such as E. coli. Various E. coli
strains are publicly available, such as E. coli K12 strain MM294
(ATCC 31,446); E. coli X1776 (ATCC 31,537); E. coli strain W3110
(ATCC 27,325) and K5772 (ATCC 53,635). Other suitable prokaryotic
host cells include Enterobacteriaceae such as Escherichia, e.g., E.
coli, Enterobacter, Erwinia, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, e.g.,
Salmonella typhimurium, Serratia, e.g., Serratia marcescans, and
Shigella, as well as Bacilli such as B. subtilis and B.
licheniformis (e.g., B. licheniformis 41P disclosed in DD 266,710
published Apr. 12, 1989), Pseudomonas such as P. aeruginosa, and
Streptomyces. These examples are illustrative rather than limiting.
Strain W3110 is one particularly preferred host or parent host
because it is a common host strain for recombinant DNA product
fermentations. Preferably, the host cell secretes minimal amounts
of proteolytic enzymes. For example, strain W3110 may be modified
to effect a genetic mutation in the genes encoding proteins
endogenous to the host, with examples of such hosts including E.
coli W3110 strain 1A2, which has the complete genotype tonA; E.
coli W3110 strain 9E4, which has the complete genotype tonA ptr3;
E. coli W3110 strain 27C7 (ATCC 55,244), which has the complete
genotype tonA ptr3 phoA E15 (argF-lac)169 degP ompT kan.sup.r; E.
coli W3110 strain 37D6, which has the complete genotype tonA ptr3
phoA E15 (argF-lac)169 degP ompT rbs7ilvG kan.sup.r; E. coli W3110
strain 40B4, which is strain 37D6 with a non-kanamycin resistant
degP deletion mutation; and an E. coli strain having mutant
periplasmic protease disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,783 issued
Aug. 7, 1990. Alternatively, in vitro methods of cloning, e.g., PCR
or other nucleic acid polymerase reactions, are suitable.
[3368] In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes such as
filamentous fungi or yeast are suitable cloning or expression hosts
for PRO-encoding vectors. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a commonly
used lower eukaryotic host microorganism. Others include
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Beach and Nurse, Nature, 290: 140
[1981]; EP 139,383 published May 2, 1985); Kluyveromyces hosts
(U.S. Pat. No. 4,943,529; Fleer et al., Bio/Technology, 9:968-975
(1991)) such as, e.g., K. lactis (MW98-8C, CBS683, CBS4574;
Louvencourt et al., J. Bacteriol., 154(2):737-742 [1983]), K.
fragilis (ATCC 12,424), K. bulgaricus (ATCC 16,045), K. wickeramii
(ATCC 24,178), K. waltii (ATCC 56,500), K. drosophilarum (ATCC
36,906; Van den Berg et al., Bio/Technology, 8:135 (1990)), K.
thernotolerans, and K. marxianus; yarrowia (EP 402,226); Pichia
pastoris (EP 183,070; Sreekrishna et al., J. Basic Microbiol.,
28:265-278 [1988]); Candida; Trichoderma reesia (EP 244,234);
Neurospora crassa (Case et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,
76:5259-5263 [1979]); Schwanniomyces such as Schwanniomyces
occidentalis (EP 394,538 published Oct. 31, 1990); and filamentous
fungi such as, e.g., Neurospora, Penicillium, Tolypocladium (WO
91/00357 published Jan. 10, 1991), and Aspergillus hosts such as A.
nidulans (Ballance et al., Biochem. Bioph s. Res. Commun.,
112:284-289 [1983]; Tilburn et al., Gene, 26:205-221 [1983]; Yelton
et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81: 1470-1474 [1984]) and A.
niger (Kelly and Hynes, EMBO J., 4:475-479 [1985]). Methylotropic
yeasts are suitable herein and include, but are not limited to,
yeast capable of growth on methanol selected from the genera
consisting of Hansenula, Candida, Kloeckera, Pichia, Saccharomyces,
Torulopsis, and Rhodotorula. A list of specific species that are
exemplary of this class of yeasts may be found in C. Anthony, The
Biochemistry of Methvlotrophs, 269 (1982).
[3369] Suitable host cells for the expression of glycosylated PRO
are derived from multicellular organisms. Examples of invertebrate
cells include insect cells such as Drosophila S2 and Spodoptera
Sf9, as well as plant cells. Examples of useful mammalian host cell
lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and COS cells. More
specific examples include monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by
SV40 (COS-7, ATCC CRL 1651); human embryonic kidney line (293 or
293 cells subcloned for growth in suspension culture, Graham et
al., J. Gen Virol., 36:59 (1977)); Chinese hamster ovary
cells/-DHFR (CHO, Urlaub and Chasin, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,
77:4216 (1980)); mouse sertoli cells (TM4, Mather, Biol. Reprod.,
23:243-251 (1980)); human lung cells (W138, ATCC CCL 75); human
liver cells (Hep G2, HB 8065); and mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562,
ATCC CCL51). The selection of the appropriate host cell is deemed
to be within the skill in the art.
3. Selection and Use of a Replicable Vector
[3370] The nucleic acid (e.g., cDNA or genomic DNA) encoding PRO
may be inserted into a replicable vector for cloning (amplification
of the DNA) or for expression. Various vectors are publicly
available. The vector may, for example, be in the form of a
plasmid, cosmid, viral particle, or phage. The appropriate nucleic
acid sequence may be inserted into the vector by a variety of
procedures. In general, DNA is inserted into an appropriate
restriction endonuclease site(s) using techniques known in the art.
Vector components generally include, but are not limited to, one or
more of a signal sequence, an origin of replication, one or more
marker genes, an enhancer element, a promoter, and a transcription
termination sequence. Construction of suitable vectors containing
one or more of these components employs standard ligation
techniques which are known to the skilled artisan.
[3371] The PRO may be produced recombinantly not only directly, but
also as a fusion polypeptide with a heterologous polypeptide, which
may be a signal sequence or other polypeptide having a specific
cleavage site at the N-terminus of the mature protein or
polypeptide. In general, the signal sequence may be a component of
the vector, or it may be a part of the PRO-encoding DNA that is
inserted into the vector. The signal sequence may be a prokaryotic
signal sequence selected, for example, from the group of the
alkaline phosphatase, penicillinase, lpp, or heat-stable
enterotoxin II leaders. For yeast secretion the signal sequence may
be, e.g., the yeast invertase leader, alpha factor leader
(including Saccharomyces and Kluyveromyces .alpha.-factor leaders,
the latter described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,010,182), or acid
phosphatase leader, the C. albicans glucoamylase leader (EP 362,179
published Apr. 4, 1990), or the signal described in WO 90/13646
published Nov. 15, 1990. In mammalian cell expression, mammalian
signal sequences may be used to direct secretion of the protein,
such as signal sequences from secreted polypeptides of the same or
related species, as well as viral secretory leaders.
[3372] Both expression and cloning vectors contain a nucleic acid
sequence that enables the vector to replicate in one or more
selected host cells. Such sequences are well known for a variety of
bacteria, yeast, and viruses. The origin of replication from the
plasmid pBR322 is suitable for most Gram-negative bacteria, the
2.mu. plasmid origin is suitable for yeast, and various viral
origins (SV40, polyoma, adenovirus, VSV or BPV) are useful for
cloning vectors in mammalian cells.
[3373] Expression and cloning vectors will typically contain a
selection gene, also termed a selectable marker. Typical selection
genes encode proteins that (a) confer resistance to antibiotics or
other toxins, e.g., ampicillin, neomycin, methotrexate, or
tetracycline, (b) complement auxotrophic deficiencies, or (c)
supply critical nutrients not available from complex media, e.g.,
the gene encoding D-alanine racemase for Bacilli.
[3374] An example of suitable selectable markers for mammalian
cells are those that enable the identification of cells competent
to take up the PRO-encoding nucleic acid, such as DHFR or thymidine
kinase. An appropriate host cell when wild-type DHFR is employed is
the CHO cell line deficient in DHFR activity, prepared and
propagated as described by Urlaub et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
USA, 77:4216 (1980). A suitable selection gene for use in yeast is
the trp1 gene present in the yeast plasmid YRp7 [Stinchcomb et al.,
Nature, 282:39 (1979); Kingsman et al., Gene, 7:141 (1979);
Tschemper et al., Gene, 10:157 (1980)]. The trpl gene provides a
selection marker for a mutant strain of yeast lacking the ability
to grow in tryptophan, for example, ATCC No. 44076 or PEP4-1
[Jones, Genetics, 85:12 (1977)].
[3375] Expression and cloning vectors usually contain a promoter
operably linked to the PRO-encoding nucleic acid sequence to direct
MRNA synthesis. Promoters recognized by a variety of potential host
cells are well known. Promoters suitable for use with prokaryotic
hosts include the .beta.-lactamase and lactose promoter systems
[Chang et al., Nature, 275:615 (1978); Goeddel et al., Nature,
281:544 (1979)], alkaline phosphatase, a tryptophan (trp) promoter
system [Goeddel, Nucleic Acids Res., 8:4057 (1980); EP 36,776], and
hybrid promoters such as the tac promoter [deBoer et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 80:21-25 (1983)]. Promoters for use in
bacterial systems also will contain a Shine-Dalgarno (S.D.)
sequence operably linked to the DNA encoding PRO.
[3376] Examples of suitable promoting sequences for use with yeast
hosts include the promoters for 3-phosphoglycerate kinase [Hitzeman
et al., J. Biol. Chem., 255:2073 (1980)] or other glycolytic
enzymes [Hess et al., J. Adv. Enzyme Reg., 7:149 (1968); Holland,
Biochemistry, 17:4900 (1978)], such as enolase,
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, pyruvate
decarboxylase, phosphofructokinase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase,
3-phosphoglycerate mutase, pyruvate kinase, triosephosphate
isomerase, phosphoglucose isomerase, and glucokinase.
[3377] Other yeast promoters, which are inducible promoters having
the additional advantage of transcription controlled by growth
conditions, are the promoter regions for alcohol dehydrogenase 2,
isocytochrome C, acid phosphatase, degradative enzymes associated
with nitrogen metabolism, metallothionein,
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and enzymes responsible
for maltose and galactose utilization. Suitable vectors and
promoters for use in yeast expression are further described in EP
73,657.
[3378] PRO transcription from vectors in mammalian host cells is
controlled, for example, by promoters obtained from the genomes of
viruses such as polyoma virus, fowlpox virus (UK 2,211,504
published Jul. 5, 1989), adenovirus (such as Adenovirus 2), bovine
papilloma virus, avian sarcoma virus, cytomegalovirus, a
retrovirus, hepatitis-B virus and Simian Virus 40 (SV40), from
heterologous mammalian promoters, e.g., the actin promoter or an
immunoglobulin promoter, and from heat-shock promoters, provided
such promoters are compatible with the host cell systems.
[3379] Transcription of a DNA encoding the PRO by higher eukaryotes
may be increased by inserting an enhancer sequence into the vector.
Enhancers are cis-acting elements of DNA, usually about from 10 to
300 bp, that act on a promoter to increase its transcription. Many
enhancer sequences are now known from mammalian genes (globin,
elastase, albumin, .alpha.-fetoprotein, and insulin). Typically,
however, one will use an enhancer from a eukaryotic cell virus.
Examples include the SV40 enhancer on the late side of the
replication origin (bp 100-270), the cytomegalovirus early promoter
enhancer, the polyoma enhancer on the late side of the replication
origin, and adenovirus enhancers. The enhancer may be spliced into
the vector at a position 5' or 3' to the PRO coding sequence, but
is preferably located at a site 5' from the promoter.
[3380] Expression vectors used in eukaryotic host cells (yeast,
fungi, insect, plant, animal, human, or nucleated cells from other
multicellular organisms) will also contain sequences necessary for
the termination of transcription and for stabilizing the niRNA.
Such sequences are commonly available from the 5' and, occasionally
3', untranslated regions of eukaryotic or viral DNAs or cDNAs.
These regions contain nucleotide segments transcribed as
polyadenylated fragments in the untranslated portion of the mRNA
encoding PRO.
[3381] Still other methods, vectors, and host cells suitable for
adaptation to the synthesis of PRO in recombinant vertebrate cell
culture are described in Gething et al., Nature, 293:620-625
(1981); Mantei et al., Nature, 281:4046 (1979); EP 117,060; and EP
117,058.
4. Detecting Gene Amplification/Expression
[3382] Gene amplification and/or expression may be measured in a
sample directly, for example, by conventional Southernblotting,
Northernblotting to quantitate the transcriptionof MRNA [Thomas,
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 77:5201-5205 (1980)], dot blotting (DNA
analysis), or in situ hybridization, using an appropriately labeled
probe, based on the sequences provided herein. Alternatively,
antibodies may be employed that can recognize specific duplexes,
including DNA duplexes, RNA duplexes, and DNA-RNA hybrid duplexes
or DNA-protein duplexes. The antibodies in turn may be labeled and
the assay may be carried out where the duplex is bound to a
surface, so that upon the formation of duplex on the surface, the
presence of antibody bound to the duplex can be detected.
[3383] Gene expression, alternatively, may be measured by
immunological methods, such as immunohistochemical staining of
cells or tissue sections and assay of cell culture or body fluids,
to quantitate directly the expression of gene product. Antibodies
useful for immunohistochemical staining and/or assay of sample
fluids may be either monoclonal or polyclonal, and may be prepared
in any mammal. Conveniently, the antibodies may be prepared against
a native sequence PRO polypeptide or against a synthetic peptide
based on the DNA sequences provided herein or against exogenous
sequence fused to PRO DNA and encoding a specific antibody
epitope.
5. Purification of Polypeptide
[3384] Forms of PRO may be recovered from culture medium or from
host cell lysates. If membrane-bound, it can be released from the
membrane using a suitable detergent solution (e.g. Triton-X 100) or
by enzymatic cleavage. Cells employed in expression of PRO can be
disrupted by various physical or chemical means, such as
freeze-thaw cycling, sonication, mechanical disruption, or cell
lysing agents.
[3385] It may be desired to purify PRO from recombinant cell
proteins or polypeptides. The following procedures are exemplary of
suitable purification procedures: by fractionation on an
ion-exchange column; ethanol precipitation; reverse phase HPLC;
chromatography on silica or on a cation-exchange resin such as
DEAE; chromatofocusing; SDS-PAGE; ammonium sulfate precipitation;
gel filtration using, for example, Sephadex G-75; protein A
Sepharose columns to remove contaminants such as IgG; and metal
chelating columns to bind epitope-tagged forms of the PRO. Various
methods of protein purification may be employed and such methods
are known in the art and described for example in Deutscher,
Methods in Enzymology, 182 (1990); Scopes, Protein Purification:
Principles and Practice, Springer-Verlag, New York (1982). The
purification step(s) selected will depend, for example, on the
nature of the production process used and the particular PRO
produced.
[3386] E. Uses for PRO
[3387] Nucleotide sequences (or their complement) encoding PRO have
various applications in the art of molecular biology, including
uses as hybridization probes, in chromosome and gene mapping and in
the generation of anti-sense RNA and DNA. PRO nucleic acid will
also be useful for the preparation of PRO polypeptides by the
recombinant techniques described herein.
[3388] The full-length native sequence PRO gene, or portions
thereof, may be used as hybridization probes for a cDNA library to
isolate the full-length PRO cDNA or to isolate still other cDNAs
(for instance, those encoding naturally-occurring variants of PRO
or PRO from other species) which have a desired sequence identity
to the native PRO sequence disclosed herein. Optionally, the length
of the probes will be about 20 to about 50 bases. The hybridization
probes may be derived from at least partially novel regions of the
full length native nucleotide sequence wherein those regions may be
determined without undue experimentation or from genomic sequences
including promoters, enhancer elements and introns of native
sequence PRO. By way of example, a screening method will comprise
isolating the coding region of the PRO gene using the known DNA
sequence to synthesize a selected probe of about 40 bases.
Hybridization probes may be labeled by a variety of labels,
including radionucleotides such as 32P or 35S, or enzymatic labels
such as alkaline phosphatase coupled to the probe via avidintbiotin
coupling systems. Labeled probes having a sequence complementary to
that of the PRO gene of the present invention can be used to screen
libraries of human cDNA, genomic DNA or MRNA to determine which
members of such libraries the probe hybridizes to. Hybridization
techniques are described in further detail in the Examples
below.
[3389] Any EST sequences disclosed in the present application may
similarly be employed as probes, using the methods disclosed
herein.
[3390] Other useful fragments of the PRO nucleic acids include
antisense or sense oligonucleotides comprising a singe-stranded
nucleic acid sequence (either RNA or DNA) capable of binding to
target PRO MRNA (sense) or PRO DNA (antisense) sequences. Antisense
or sense oligonucleotides, according to the present invention,
comprise a fragment of the coding region of PRO DNA. Such a
fragment generally comprises at least about 14 nucleotides,
preferably from about 14 to 30 nucleotides. The ability to derive
an antisense or a sense oligonucleotide, based upon a cDNA sequence
encoding a given protein is described in, for example, Stein and
Cohen (Cancer Res. 48:2659, 1988) and van der Krol et al.
(BioTechniques 6:958, 1988).
[3391] Binding of antisense or sense oligonucleotides to target
nucleic acid sequences results in the formation of duplexes that
block transcription or translation of the target sequence by one of
several means, including enhanced degradation of the duplexes,
premature termination of transcription or translation, or by other
means. The antisense oligonucleotides thus may be used to block
expression of PRO proteins. Antisense or sense oligonucleotides
further comprise oligonucleotides having modified
sugar-phosphodiester backbones (or other sugar linkages, such as
those described in WO 91/06629) and wherein such sugar linkages are
resistant to endogenous nucleases. Such oligonucleotides with
resistant sugar linkages are stable in vivo (i.e., capable of
resisting enzymatic degradation) but retain sequence specificity to
be able to bind to target nucleotide sequences.
[3392] Other examples of sense or antisense oligonucleotides
include those oligonucleotides which are covalently linked to
organic moieties, such as those described in WO 90/10048, and other
moieties that increases affinity of the oligonucleotide for a
target nucleic acid sequence, such as poly-(L-lysine). Further
still, intercalating agents, such as ellipticine, and alkylating
agents or metal complexes may be attached to sense or antisense
oligonucleotides to modify binding specificities of the antisense
or sense oligonucleotide for the target nucleotide sequence.
[3393] Antisense or sense oligonucleotides may be introduced into a
cell containing the target nucleic acid sequence by any gene
transfer method, including, for example, CaPO.sub.4-mediated DNA
transfection, electroporation, or by using gene transfer vectors
such as Epstein-Barr virus. In a preferred procedure, an antisense
or sense oligonucleotide is inserted into a suitable retroviral
vector. A cell containing the target nucleic acid sequence is
contacted with the recombinant retroviral vector, either in vivo or
ex vivo. Suitable retroviral vectors include, but are not limited
to, those derived from the murine retrovirus M-MULV, N2 (a
retrovirus derived from M-MuLV), or the double copy vectors
designated DCT5A, DCT5B and DCT5C (see WO 90/13641).
[3394] Sense or antisense oligonucleotides also may be introduced
into a cell containing the target nucleotide sequence by formation
of a conjugate with a ligand binding molecule, as described in WO
91/04753. Suitable ligand binding molecules include, but are not
limited to, cell surface receptors, growth factors, other
cytokines, or other ligands that bind to cell surface receptors.
Preferably, conjugation of the ligand binding molecule does not
substantially interfere with the ability of the ligand binding
molecule to bind to its corresponding molecule or receptor, or
block entry of the sense or antisense oligonucleotide or its
conjugated version into the cell.
[3395] Alternatively, a sense or an antisense oligonucleotide may
be introduced into a cell containing the target nucleic acid
sequence by formation of an oligonucleotide-lipid complex, as
described in WO 90/10448. The sense or antisense
oligonucleotide-lipid complex is preferably dissociated within the
cell by an endogenous lipase.
[3396] Antisense or sense RNA or DNA molecules are generally at
least about 5 bases in length, about 10 bases in length, about 15
bases in length, about 20 bases in length, about 25 bases in
length, about 30 bases in length, about 35 bases in length, about
40 bases in length, about 45 bases in length, about 50 bases in
length, about 55 bases in length, about 60 bases in length, about
65 bases in length, about 70 bases in length, about 75 bases in
length, about 80 bases in length, about 85 bases in length, about
90 bases in length, about 95 bases in length, about 100 bases in
length, or more.
[3397] The probes may also be employed in PCR techniques to
generate a pool of sequences for identification of closely related
PRO coding sequences.
[3398] Nucleotide sequences encoding a PRO can also be used to
construct hybridization probes for mapping the gene which encodes
that PRO and for the genetic analysis of individuals with genetic
disorders. The nucleotide sequences provided herein may be mapped
to a chromosome and specific regions of a chromosome using known
techniques, such as in situ hybridization, linkage analysis against
known chromosomal markers, and hybridization screening with
libraries.
[3399] When the coding sequences for PRO encode a protein which
binds to another protein (example, where the PRO is a receptor),
the PRO can be used in assays to identify the other proteins or
molecules involved in the binding interaction. By such methods,
inhibitors of the receptor/ligand binding interaction can be
identified. Proteins involved in such binding interactions can also
be used to screen for peptide or small molecule inhibitors or
agonists of the binding interaction. Also, the receptor PRO can be
used to isolate correlative ligand(s). Screening assays can be
designed to find lead compounds that mimic the biological activity
of a native PRO or a receptor for PRO. Such screening assays will
include assays amenable to high-throughput screening of chemical
libraries, making them particularly suitable for identifying small
molecule drug candidates. Small molecules contemplated include
synthetic organic or inorganic compounds. The assays can be
performed in a variety of formats, including protein-protein
binding assays, biochemical screening assays, immunoassays and cell
based assays, which are well characterized in the art.
[3400] Nucleic acids which encode PRO or its modified forms can
also be used to generate either transgenic animals or "knock out"
animals which, in turn, are useful in the development and screening
of therapeutically useful reagents. A transgenic animal (e.g., a
mouse or rat) is an animal having cells that contain a transgene,
which transgene was introduced into the animal or an ancestor of
the animal at a prenatal, e.g., an embryonic stage. A transgene is
a DNA which is integrated into the genome of a cell from which a
transgenic animal develops. In one embodiment, cDNA encoding PRO
can be used to clone genomic DNA encoding PRO in accordance with
established techniques and the genomic sequences used to generate
transgenic animals that contain cells which express DNA encoding
PRO. Methods for generating transgenic animals, particularly
animals such as mice or rats, have become conventional in the art
and are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,736,866 and
4,870,009. Typically, particular cells would be targeted for PRO
transgene incorporation with tissue-specific enhancers. Transgenic
animals that include a copy of a transgene encoding PRO introduced
into the germ line of the animal at an embryonic stage can be used
to examine the effect of increased expression of DNA encoding PRO.
Such animals can be used as tester animals for reagents thought to
confer protection from, for example, pathological conditions
associated with its overexpression. In accordance with this facet
of the invention, an animal is treated with the reagent and a
reduced incidence of the pathological condition, compared to
untreated animals bearing the transgene, would indicate a potential
therapeutic intervention for the pathological condition.
[3401] Alternatively, non-human homologues of PRO can be used to
construct a PRO "knock out" animal which has a defective or altered
gene encoding PRO as a result of homologous recombination between
the endogenous gene encoding PRO and altered genomic DNA encoding
PRO introduced into an embryonic stem cell of the animal. For
example, cDNA encoding PRO can be used to clone genomic DNA
encoding PRO in accordance with established techniques. A portion
of the genomic DNA encoding PRO can be deleted or replaced with
another gene, such as a gene encoding a selectable marker which can
be used to monitor integration. Typically, several kilobases of
unaltered flanking DNA (both at the 5' and 3' ends) are included in
the vector [see e.g., Thomas and Capecchi, Cell, 51:503 (1987) for
a description of homologous recombination vectors]. The vector is
introduced into an embryonic stem cell line (e.g., by
electroporation) and cells in which the introduced DNA has
homologously recombined with the endogenous DNA are selected [see
e.g., Li et al., Cell, 69:915 (1992)]. The selected cells are then
injected into a blastocyst of an animal (e.g., a mouse or rat) to
form aggregation chimeras [see e.g., Bradley, in Teratocarcinomas
and Embryonic Stem Cells: A Practical Approach, E. J. Robertson,
ed. (IRL, Oxford, 1987), pp. 113-152]. A chimeric embryo can then
be implanted into a suitable pseudopregnant female foster animal
and the embryo brought to term to create a "knock out" animal.
Progeny harboring the homologously recombined DNA in their germ
cells can be identified by standard techniques and used to breed
animals in which all cells of the animal contain the homologously
recombined DNA. Knockout animals can be characterized for instance,
for their ability to defend against certain pathological conditions
and for their development of pathological conditions due to absence
of the PRO polypeptide.
[3402] Nucleic acid encoding the PRO polypeptides may also be used
in gene therapy. In gene therapy applications, genes are introduced
into cells in order to achieve in vivo synthesis of a
therapeutically effective genetic product, for example for
replacement of a defective gene. "Gene therapy" includes both
conventional gene therapy where a lasting effect is achieved by a
single treatment, and the administration of gene therapeutic
agents, which involves the one time or repeated administration of a
therapeutically effective DNA or mRNA. Antisense RNAs and DNAs can
be used as therapeutic agents for blocking the expression of
certain genes in vivo. It has already been shown that short
antisense oligonucleotides can be imported into cells where they
act as inhibitors, despite their low intracellular concentrations
caused by their restricted uptake by the cell membrane. (Zamecnik
et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:4143-4146 [1986]). The
oligonucleotides can be modified to enhance their uptake, e.g. by
substituting their negatively charged phosphodiester groups by
uncharged groups.
[3403] There are a variety of techniques available for introducing
nucleic acids into viable cells. The techniques vary depending upon
whether the nucleic acid is transferred into cultured cells in
vitro, or in vivo in the cells of the intended host. Techniques
suitable for the transfer of nucleic acid into mammalian cells in
vitro include the use of liposomes, electroporation,
microinjection, cell fusion, DEAE-dextran, the calcium phosphate
precipitation method, etc. The currently preferred in vivo gene
transfer techniques include transfection with viral (typically
retroviral) vectors and viral coat protein-liposome mediated
transfection (Dzau et al., Trends in Biotechnology 11, 205-210
[1993]). In some situations it is desirable to provide the nucleic
acid source with an agent that targets the target cells, such as an
antibody specific for a cell surface membrane protein or the target
cell, a ligand for a receptor on the target cell, etc. Where
liposomes are employed, proteins which bind to a cell surface
membrane protein associated with endocytosis may be used for
targeting and/or to facilitate uptake, e.g. capsid proteins or
fragments thereof tropic for a particular cell type, antibodies for
proteins which undergo internalization in cycling, proteins that
target intracellular localization and enhance intracellular
half-life. The technique of receptor-mediated endocytosis is
described, for example, by Wu et al., J. Biol. Chem. 262, 44294432
(1987); and Wagner et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87, 3410-3414
(1990). For review of gene marking and gene therapy protocols see
Anderson et al., Science 256, 808-813 (1992).
[3404] The PRO polypeptides described herein may also be employed
as molecular weight markers for protein electrophoresis purposes
and the isolated nucleic acid sequences may be used for
recombinantly expressing those markers.
[3405] The nucleic acid molecules encoding the PRO polypeptides or
fragments thereof described herein are useful for chromosome
identification. In this regard, there exists an ongoing need to
identify new chromosome markers, since relatively few chromosome
marking reagents, based upon actual sequence data are presently
available. Each PRO nucleic acid molecule of the present invention
can be used as a chromosome marker.
[3406] The PRO polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules of the
present invention may also be used for tissue typing, wherein the
PRO polypeptides of the present invention may be differentially
expressed in one tissue as compared to another. PRO nucleic acid
molecules will find use for generating probes for PCR, Northern
analysis, Southern analysis and Western analysis.
[3407] The PRO polypeptides described herein may also be employed
as therapeutic agents. The PRO polypeptides of the present
invention can be formulated according to known methods to prepare
pharmaceutically useful compositions, whereby the PRO product
hereof is combined in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable
carrier vehicle. Therapeutic formulations are prepared for storage
by mixing the active ingredient having the desired degree of purity
with optional physiologically acceptable carriers, excipients or
stabilizers (Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition,
Osol, A. Ed. (1980)), in the form of lyophilized formulations or
aqueous solutions. Acceptable carriers, excipients or stabilizers
are nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations
employed, and include buffers such as phosphate, citrate and other
organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid; low molecular
weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such
as serum albumin, gelatin or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers
such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, amino acids such as glycine,
glutamine, asparagine, arginine or lysine; monosaccharides,
disaccharides and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose,
or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugar alcohols such as
mannitol or sorbitol; salt-forming counterions such as sodium;
and/or nonionic surfactants such as TWEEN.TM., PLURONICS.TM. or
PEG.
[3408] The formulations to be used for in vivo administration must
be sterile. This is readily accomplished by filtration through
sterile filtration membranes, prior to or following lyophilization
and reconstitution.
[3409] Therapeutic compositions herein generally are placed into a
container having a sterile access port, for example, an intravenous
solution bag or vial having a stopper pierceable by a hypodermic
injection needle.
[3410] The route of administration is in accord with known methods,
e.g. injection or infusion by intravenous, intraperitoneal,
intracerebral, intramuscular, intraocular, intraarterial or
intralesional routes, topical administration, or by sustained
release systems.
[3411] Dosages and desired drug concentrations ofpharmaceutical
compositions of the present invention may vary depending on the
particular use envisioned. The determination of the appropriate
dosage or route of administration is well within the skill of an
ordinary physician. Animal experiments provide reliable guidance
for the determination of effective doses for human therapy.
Interspecies scaling of effective doses can be performed following
the principles laid down by Mordenti, J. and Chappell, W. "The use
of interspecies scaling in toxicolinetics" In Toxicokinetics and
New Drug Development, Yacobi et al., Eds., Pergamon Press, New York
1989, pp. 42-96.
[3412] When in vivo administration of a PRO polypeptide or agonist
or antagonist thereof is employed, normal dosage amounts may vary
from about 10 ng/kg to up to 100 mg/kg of mammal body weight or
more per day, preferably about 1 .mu.g/kg/day to 10 mg/kg/day,
depending upon the route of administration. Guidance as to
particular dosages and methods of delivery is provided in the
literature; see, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,657,760; 5,206,344;
or 5,225,212. It is anticipated that different formulations will be
effective for different treatment compounds and different
disorders, that administration targeting one organ or tissue, for
example, may necessitate delivery in a manner different from that
to another organ or tissue.
[3413] Where sustained-release administration of a PRO polypeptide
is desired in a formulation with release characteristics suitable
for the treatment of any disease or disorder requiring
administration of the PRO polypeptide, microencapsulation of the
PRO polypeptide is contemplated. Microencapsulation of recombinant
proteins for sustained release has been successfully performed with
human growth hormone (rhGH), interferon-(rhIFN-), interleukin-2,
and MN rgp120. Johnson et al., Nat. Med., 2:795-799 (1996); Yasuda,
Biomed. Ther., 27:1221-1223 (1993); Hora et al., Bio/Technologv.
8:755-758(1990); Cleland, "Design and Production of Single
Immunization Vaccines Using Polylactide Polyglycolide Microsphere
Systems," in Vaccine Design: The Subunit and Adjuvant Approach,

5,654,010.
[3414] The sustained-release formulations of these proteins were
developed using poly-lactic-coglycolic acid (PLGA) polymer due to
its biocompatibility and wide range of biodegradable properties.
The degradation products of PLGA, lactic and glycolic acids, can be
cleared quickly within the human body. Moreover, the degradability
of this polymer can be adjusted from months to years depending on
its molecular weight and composition. Lewis, "Controlled release of
bioactive agents from lactide/glycolide polymer," in: M. Chasin and
R. Langer (Eds.), Biodegradable Polymers as Drug Delivery Systems

[3415] This invention encompasses methods of screening compounds to
identify those that mimic the PRO polypeptide (agonists) or prevent
the effect of the PRO polypeptide (antagonists). Screening assays
for antagonist drug candidates are designed to identify compounds
that bind or complex with the PRO polypeptides encoded by the genes
identified herein, or otherwise interfere with the interaction of
the encoded polypeptides with other cellular proteins. Such
screening assays will include assays amenable to high-throughput
screening of chemical libraries, making them particularly suitable
for identifying small molecule drug candidates.
[3416] The assays can be performed in a variety of formats,
including protein-protein binding assays, biochemical screening
assays, immunoassays, and cell-based assays, which are well
characterized in the art.
[3417] All assays for antagonists are common in that they call for
contacting the drug candidate with a PRO polypeptide encoded by a
nucleic acid identified herein under conditions and for a time
sufficient to allow these two components to interact.
[3418] In binding assays, the interaction is binding and the
complex formed can be isolated or detected in the reaction mixture.
In a particular embodiment, the PRO polypeptide encoded by the gene
identified herein or the drug candidate is immobilized on a solid
phase, e.g., on a microtiter plate, by covalent or non-covalent
attachments. Non-covalent attachment generally is accomplished by
coating the solid surface with a solution of the PRO polypeptide
and drying. Alternatively, an immobilized antibody, e.g., a
monoclonal antibody, specific for the PRO polypeptide to be
immobilized can be used to anchor it to a solid surface. The assay
is performed by adding the non-immobilized component, which may be
labeled by a detectable label, to the immobilized component, e.g.,
the coated surface containing the anchored component. When the
reaction is complete, the non-reacted components are removed, e.g.,
by washing, and complexes anchored on the solid surface are
detected. When the originally non-immobilized component carries a
detectable label, the detection of label immobilized onthe surface
indicates that complexing occurred. Where the originally
non-immobilized component does not carry a label, complexing can be
detected, for example, by using a labeled antibody specifically
binding the immobilized complex.
[3419] If the candidate compound interacts with but does not bind
to a particular PRO polypeptide encoded by a gene identified
herein, its interaction with that polypeptide can be assayed by
methods well known for detecting protein-protein interactions. Such
assays include traditional approaches, such as, e.g.,
cross-linking, co-immunoprecipitation, and co-purification through
gradients or chromatographic columns. In addition, protein-protein
interactions can be monitored by using a yeast-based genetic system
described by Fields and co-workers (Fields and Song, Nature
(London), 340:245-246 (1989); Chien et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
USA, 88:9578-9582 (1991)) as disclosed by Chevray and Nathans,
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89: 5789-5793 (1991). Many
transcriptional activators, such as yeast GAL4, consist of two
physically discrete modular domains, one acting as the DNA-binding
domain, the other one functioning as the transcription-activation
domain. The yeast expression system described in the foregoing
publications (generally referred to as the "two-hybrid system")
takes advantage of this property, and employs two hybrid proteins,
one in which the target protein is fused to the DNA-binding domain
of GAL4, and another, in which candidate activating proteins are
fused to the activation domain. The expression of a GALl-lacZ
reporter gene under control of a GAL4-activated promoter depends on
reconstitution of GAL4 activity via protein-protein interaction.
Colonies containing interacting polypeptides are detected with a
chromogenic substrate for .beta.-galactosidase. A complete kit
(MATCHMAKER.TM.) for identifying protein-protein interactions
between two specific proteins using the two-hybrid technique is
commercially available from Clontech. This system can also be
extended to map protein domains involved in specific protein
interactions as well as to pinpoint amino acid residues that are
crucial for these interactions.
[3420] Compounds that interfere with the interaction of a gene
encoding a PRO polypeptide identified herein and other intra- or
extracellular components can be tested as follows: usually a
reaction mixture is prepared containing the product of the gene and
the intra- or extracellular component under conditions and for a
time allowing for the interaction and binding of the two products.
To test the ability of a candidate compound to inhibit binding, the
reaction is run in the absence and in the presence of the test
compound. In addition, a placebo may be added to a third reaction
mixture, to serve as positive control. The binding (complex
formation) between the test compound and the intra- or
extracellular component present in the mixture is monitored as
described hereinabove. The formation of a complex in the control
reaction(s) but not in the reaction mixture containing the test
compound indicates that the test compound interferes with the
interaction of the test compound and its reaction partner.
[3421] To assay for antagonists, the PRO polypeptide may be added
to a cell along with the compound to be screened for a particular
activity and the ability of the compound to inhibit the activity of
interest in the presence of the PRO polypeptide indicates that the
compound is an antagonist to the PRO polypeptide. Alternatively,
antagonists may be detected by combining the PRO polypeptide and a
potential antagonist with membrane-bound PRO polypeptide receptors
or recombinant receptors under appropriate conditions for a
competitive inhibition assay. The PRO polypeptide can be labeled,
such as by radioactivity, such that the number of PRO polypeptide
molecules bound to the receptor can be used to determine the
effectiveness of the potential antagonist. The gene encoding the
receptor can be identified by numerous methods known to those of
skill in the art, for example, ligand panning and FACS sorting.
Coligan et al., Current Protocols in Immun., 1(2): Chapter 5
(1991). Preferably, expression cloning is employed wherein
polyadenylated RNA is prepared from a cell responsive to the PRO
polypeptide and a cDNA library created from this RNA is divided
into pools and used to transfect COS cells or other cells that are
not responsive to the PRO polypeptide. Transfected cells that are
grown on glass slides are exposed to labeled PRO polypeptide. The
PRO polypeptide can be labeled by a variety of means including
iodination or inclusion of a recognition site for a site-specific
protein kinase. Following fixation and incubation, the slides are
subjected to autoradiographic analysis. Positive pools are
identified and sub-pools are prepared and re-transfected using an
interactive sub-pooling and re-screening process, eventually
yielding a single clone that encodes the putative receptor.
[3422] As an alternative approach for receptor identification,
labeled PRO polypeptide can be photoaffinity-linked with cell
membrane or extract preparations that express the receptor
molecule. Cross-linked material is resolved by PAGE and exposed to
X-ray film. The labeled complex containing the receptor can be
excised, resolved into peptide fragments, and subjected to protein
micro-sequencing. The amino acid sequence obtained from micro-
sequencing would be used to design a set of degenerate
oligonucleotide probes to screen a eDNA library to identify the
gene encoding the putative receptor.
[3423] In another assay for antagonists, mammalian cells or a
membrane preparation expressing the receptor would be incubated
with labeled PRO polypeptide in the presence of the candidate
compound. The ability of the compound to enhance or block this
interaction could then be measured.
[3424] More specific examples of potential antagonists include an
oligonucleotide that binds to the fusions of immunoglobulin with
PRO polypeptide, and, in particular, antibodies including, without
limitation, poly- and monoclonal antibodies and antibody fragments,
single-chain antibodies, anti-idiotypic antibodies, and chimeric or
humanized versions of such antibodies or fragments, as well as
human antibodies and antibody fragments. Alternatively, a potential
antagonist may be a closely related protein, for example, a mutated
form of the PRO polypeptide that recognizes the receptor but
imparts no effect, thereby competitively inhibiting the action of
the PRO polypeptide.
[3425] Another potential PRO polypeptide antagonist is an antisense
RNA or DNA construct prepared using antisense technology, where,
e.g., an antisense RNA or DNA molecule acts to block directly the
translation of MRNA by hybridizing to targeted rnRNA and preventing
protein translation. Antisense technology can be used to control
gene expression through triple-helix formation or antisense DNA or
RNA, both of which methods are based on binding of a polynucleotide
to DNA or RNA. For example, the 5' coding portion of the
polynucleotide sequence, which encodes the mature PRO polypeptides
herein, is used to design an antisense RNA oligonucleotide of from
about 10 to 40 base pairs in length. A DNA oligonucleotide is
designed to be complementary to a region of the gene involved in
transcription (triple helix--see Lee et al., Nucl. Acids Res.,
6:3073 (1979); Cooney et al., Science, 241: 456 (1988); Dervan et
al., Science, 251:1360 (1991)), thereby preventing transcription
and the production of the PRO polypeptide. The antisense RNA
oligonucleotide hybridizes to the mRNA in vivo and blocks
translation of the mRNA molecule into the PRO polypeptide
(antisense--Okano, Neurochem., 56:560 (1991); Oligodeox nucleotides
as Antisense Inhibitors of Gene Expression (CRC Press: Boca Raton,
Fla., 1988). The oligonucleotides described above can also be
delivered to cells such that the antisense RNA or DNA may be
expressed in vivo to inhibit production of the PRO polypeptide.
When antisense DNA is used, oligodeoxyribonucleotides derived from
the translation-initiation site, e.g., between about -10 and +10
positions of the target gene nucleotide sequence, are
preferred.
[3426] Potential antagonists include small molecules that bind to
the active site, the receptor binding site, or growth factor or
other relevant binding site of the PRO polypeptide, thereby
blocking the normal biological activity of the PRO polypeptide.
Examples of small molecules include, but are not limited to, small
peptides or peptide-like molecules, preferably soluble peptides,
and synthetic non-peptidyl organic or inorganic compounds.
[3427] Ribozymes are enzymatic RNA molecules capable of catalyzing
the specific cleavage of RNA. Ribozymes act by sequence-specific
hybridization to the complementary target RNA, followed by
endonucleolytic cleavage. Specific ribozyme cleavage sites within a
potential RNA target can be identified by known techniques. For
further details see, e.g., Rossi, Current Biology, 4:469-471
(1994), and PCT publication No. WO 97/33551 (published September
18, 1997).
[3428] Nucleic acid molecules in triple-helix formation used to
inhibit transcription should be single-stranded and composed of
deoxynucleotides. The base composition of these oligonucleotides is
designed such that it promotes triple-helix formation via Hoogsteen
base-pairing rules, which generally require sizeable stretches of
purines or pyrimidines on one strand of a duplex. For further
details see, e.g., PCT publication No. WO 97/33551, supra.
[3429] These small molecules can be identified by any one or more
of the screening assays discussed hereinabove and/or by any other
screening techniques well known for those skilled in the art.
[3430] Uses of the herein disclosed molecules may also be based
upon the positive functional assay hits disclosed and described
below.
[3431] F. Anti-PRO Antibodies
[3432] The present invention further provides anti-PRO antibodies.
Exemplary antibodies include polyclonal, monoclonal, humanized,
bispecific, and heteroconjugate antibodies.
[3433] 1. Polyclonal Antibodies
[3434] The anti-PRO antibodies may comprise polyclonal antibodies.
Methods of preparing polyclonal antibodies are known to the skilled
artisan. Polyclonal antibodies can be raised in a mammal, for
example, by one or more injections of an immunizing agent and, if
desired, an adjuvant. Typically, the immunizing agent and/or
adjuvant will be injected in the mammal by multiple subcutaneous or
intraperitoneal injections. The immunizing agent may include the
PRO polypeptide or a fusion protein thereof. It may be useful to
conjugate the immunizing agent to a protein known to be immunogenic
in the mammal being immunized. Examples of such immunogenic
proteins include but are not limited to keyhole limpet hemocyanin,
serum albumin, bovine thyroglobulin, and soybean trypsin inhibitor.
Examples of adjuvants which may be employed include Freund's
complete adjuvant and MPL-TDM adjuvant (monophosphoryl Lipid A,
synthetic trehalose dicorynomycolate). The immunization protocol
may be selected by one skilled in the art without undue
experimentation.
[3435] 2. Monoclonal Antibodies
[3436] The anti-PRO antibodies may, alternatively, be monoclonal
antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies may be prepared using hybridoma
methods, such as those described by Kohler and Milstein, Nature,
256:495 (1975). In a hybridoma method, a mouse, hamster, or other
appropriate host animal, is typically immunized with an immunizing
agent to elicit lymphocytes that produce or are capable of
producing antibodies that will specifically bind to the immunizing
agent. Alternatively, the lymphocytes may be immunized in
vitro.
[3437] The immunizing agent will typically include the PRO
polypeptide or a fusion protein thereof. Generally, either
peripheral blood lymphocytes ("PBLs") are used if cells of human
origin are desired, or spleen cells or lymph node cells are used if
non-human mammalian sources are desired. The lymphocytes are then
fused with an immortalized cell line using a suitable fusing agent,
such as polyethylene glycol, to form a hybridoma cell [Goding,
Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Practice, Academic Press,
(1986) pp. 59-103]. Immortalized cell lines are usually transformed
mammalian cells, particularly myeloma cells of rodent, bovine and
human origin. Usually, rat or mouse myeloma cell lines are
employed. The hybridoma cells may be cultured in a suitable culture
medium that preferably contains one or more substances that inhibit
the growth or survival of the unfused, immortalized cells. For
example, if the parental cells lack the enzyme hypoxanthine guanine
phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT or HPRT), the culture medium for
the hybridomas typically will include hypoxanthine, aminopterin,
and thymidine ("HAT medium"), which substances prevent the growth
of HGPRT-deficient cells.
[3438] Preferred immortalized cell lines are those that fuse
efficiently, support stable high level expression of antibody by
the selected antibody-producing cells, and are sensitive to a
medium such as HAT medium. More preferred immortalized cell lines
are murine myeloma lines, which can be obtained, for instance, from
the Salk Institute Cell Distribution Center, San Diego, California
and the American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Virginia. Human
myeloma and mouse-human heteromyeloma cell lines also have been
described for the production of human monoclonal antibodies
[Kozbor, J. Immunol., 133:3001 (1984); Brodeur et al., Monoclonal
Antibody Production Techniques and Applications, Marcel Dekker,
Inc., New York, (1987) pp. 51-63].
[3439] The culture medium in which the hybridoma cells are cultured
can then be assayed for the presence of monoclonal antibodies
directed against PRO. Preferably, the binding specificity of
monoclonal antibodies produced by the hybridoma cells is determined
by immunoprecipitation or by an in vitro binding assay, such as
radioimmunoassay (RIA) or enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay
(ELISA). Such techniques and assays are known in the art. The
binding affinity of the monoclonal antibody can, for example, be
determined by the Scatchard analysis of Munson and Pollard, Anal.
Biochem., 107:220 (1980).
[3440] After the desired hybridoma cells are identified, the clones
may be subcloned by limiting dilution procedures and grown by
standard methods [Goding, supral. Suitable culture media for this
purpose include, for example, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium
and RPMI-1640 medium. Alternatively, the hybridoma cells may be
grown in vivo as ascites in a mammal.
[3441] The monoclonal antibodies secreted by the subclones may be
isolated or purified from the culture medium or ascites fluid by
conventional immunoglobulin purification procedures such as, for
example, protein A-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite chromatography, gel
electrophoresis, dialysis, or affinity chromatography.
[3442] The monoclonal antibodies may also be made by recombinant
DNA methods, such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567.
DNA encoding the monoclonal antibodies of the invention can be
readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g.,
by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding
specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of murine
antibodies). The hybridoma cells of the invention serve as a
preferred source of such DNA. Once isolated, the DNA may be placed
into expression vectors, which are then transfected into host cells
such as simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, or
myeloma cells that do not otherwise produce immunoglobulin protein,
to obtain the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies in the recombinant
host cells. The DNA also may be modified, for example, by
substituting the coding sequence for human heavy and light chain
constant domains in place of the homologous murine sequences [U.S.
Pat. No. 4,816,567; Morrison et al., supra] or by covalently
joining to the immunoglobulin coding sequence all or part of the
coding sequence for a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide. Such a
non-irnmunoglobulin polypeptide can be substituted for the constant
domains of an antibody of the invention, or can be substituted for
the variable domains of one antigen-combining site of an antibody
of the invention to create a chimeric bivalent antibody.
[3443] The antibodies may be monovalent antibodies. Methods for
preparing monovalent antibodies are well known in the art. For
example, one method involves recombinant expression of
immunoglobulin light chain and modified heavy chain. The heavy
chain is truncated generally at any point in the Fc region so as to
prevent heavy chain crosslinking. Alternatively, the relevant
cysteine residues are substituted with another amino acid residue
or are deleted so as to prevent crosslinking.
[3444] In vitro methods are also suitable for preparing monovalent
antibodies. Digestion of antibodies to produce fragments thereof,
particularly, Fab fragments, can be accomplished using routine
techniques known in the art.
[3445] 3. Human and Humanized Antibodies
[3446] The anti-PRO antibodies of the invention may further
comprise humanized antibodies or human antibodies. Humanized forms
of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies are chimeric
immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin chains or fragments thereof (such
as Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2 or other antigen-binding subsequences of
antibodies) which contain minimal sequence derived from non-human
immunoglobulin. Humanized antibodies include human immunoglobulins
(recipient antibody) in which residues from a complementary
determining region (CDR) of the recipient are replaced by residues
from a CDR of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse,
rat or rabbit having the desired specificity, affinity and
capacity. In some instances, Fv framework residues of the human
immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues.
Humanized antibodies may also comprise residues which are found
neither in the recipient antibody nor in the imported CDR or
framework sequences. In general, the humanized antibody will
comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two,
variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR
regions correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all
or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human
immunoglobulin consensus sequence. The humanized antibody optimally
also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant
region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin [Jones et
al., Nature, 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature,
332:323-329 (1988); and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 2:593-596
(1992)].
[3447] Methods for humanizing non-human antibodies are well known
in the art. Generally, a humanized antibody has one or more amino
acid residues introduced into it from a source which is non-human.
These non-human amino acid residues are often referred to as
"import" residues, which are typically taken from an "import"
variable domain. Humanization can be essentially performed
following the method of Winter and co-workers [Jones et al.,
Nature, 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature, 332:323-327
(1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science, 239: 1534-1536 (1988)], by
substituting rodent CDRs or CDR sequences for the corresponding
sequences of a human antibody. Accordingly, such "humanized"
antibodies are chimeric antibodies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567),
wherein substantially less than an intact human variable domain has
been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a non-human
species. In practice, humanized antibodies are typically human
antibodies in which some CDR residues and possibly some FR residues
are substituted by residues from analogous sites in rodent
antibodies.
[3448] Human antibodies can also be produced using various
techniques known in the art, including phage display libraries
[Hoogenboom and Winter, J. Mol. Biol., 227;381 (1991); Marks et
al., J. Mol. Biol., 222:581 (1991)]. The techniques of Cole et al.
and Boemer et al. are also available for the preparation of human
monoclonal antibodies (Cole et al., Monoclonal Antibodies and
Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, p. 77 (1985) and Boemer et al., J.
Immunol., 147(1):86-95 (1991)]. Similarly, human antibodies can be
made by introducing of human immunoglobulin loci into transgenic
animals, e.g., mice in which the endogenous immunoglobulin genes
have been partially or completely inactivated. Upon challenge,
human antibody production is observed, which closely resembles that
seen in humans in all respects, including gene rearrangement,
assembly, and antibody repertoire. This approach is described, for
example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,545,807; 5,545,806; 5,569,825;
5,625,126; 5,633,425; 5,661,016, and in the following scientific
publications: Marks et al., Bio/Technology 10, 779-783 (1992);
Lonberg et al., Nature 368 856-859 (1994); Morrison, Nature 368,
812-13 (1994); Fishwild et al., Nature Biotechnologv 14, 845-51
(1996); Neuberger, Nature Biotechnology 14, 826 (1996); Lonberg and
Huszar, Intern. Rev. Immunol. 13 65-93 (1995).
[3449] 4. Bispecific Antibodies
[3450] Bispecific antibodies are monoclonal, preferably human or
humanized, antibodies that have binding specificities for at least
two different antigens. In the present case, one of the binding
specificities is for the PRO, the other one is for any other
antigen, and preferably for a cell-surface protein or receptor or
receptor subunit.
[3451] Methods for making bispecific antibodies are known in the
art. Traditionally, the recombinant production of bispecific
antibodies is based on the co-expression of two immunoglobulin
heavy-chain/light-chain pairs, where the two heavy chains have
different specificities [Milstein and Cuello, Nature, 305:537-539
(1983)]. Because of the random assortment of immunoglobulin heavy
and light chains, these hybridomas (quadromas) produce a potential
mixture of ten different antibody molecules, of which only one has
the correct bispecific structure. The purification of the correct
molecule is usually accomplished by affinity chromatography steps.
Similar procedures are disclosed in WO 93/08829, published May 13,
1993, and in Traunecker et al., EMBO J., 10:3655-3659 (1991).
[3452] Antibody variable domains with the desired binding
specificities (antibody-antigen combining sites) canbe fused to
immunoglobulin constant domain sequences. The fusion preferably is
with an immunoglobulin heavy-chain constant domain, comprising at
least part of the hinge, CH2, and CH3 regions. It is preferred to
have the first heavy-chain constant region (CH 1) containing the
site necessary for light-chain binding present in at least one of
the fusions. DNAs encoding the immunoglobulin heavy-chain fusions
and, if desired, the immunoglobulin light chain, are inserted into
separate expression vectors, and are co-transfected into a suitable
host organism. For further details of generating bispecific
antibodies see, for example, Suresh et al., Methods in Enzymology,
121:210 (1986).
[3453] According to another approach described in WO 96/27011, the
interface between a pair of antibody molecules can be engineered to
maximize the percentage of heterodimers which are recovered from
recombinant cell culture. The preferred interface comprises at
least a part of the CH3 region of an antibody constant domain. In
this method, one or more small amino acid side chains from the
interface of the first antibody molecule are replaced with larger
side chains (e.g. tyrosine or tryptophan). Compensatory "cavities"
of identical or similar size to the large side chain(s) are created
on the interface of the second antibody molecule by replacing large
amino acid side chains with smaller ones (e.g. alanine or
threonine). This provides a mechanism for increasing the yield of
the heterodimer over other unwanted end-products such as
homodimers.
[3454] Bispecific antibodies can be prepared as full length
antibodies or antibody fragments (e.g. F(ab').sub.2 bispecific
antibodies). Techniques for generating bispecific antibodies from
antibody fragments have been described in the literature. For
example, bispecific antibodies can be prepared can be prepared
using chemical linkage. Brennan et al., Science 229:81 (1985)
describe a procedure wherein intact antibodies are proteolytically
cleaved to generate F(ab').sub.2 fragments. These fragments are
reduced in the presence of the dithiol complexing agent sodium
arsenite to stabilize vicinal dithiols and prevent intermolecular
disulfide formation. The Fab' fragments generated are then
converted to thionitrobenzoate (TNB) derivatives. One of the
Fab'-TNB derivatives is then reconverted to the Fab'-thiol by
reduction with mercaptoethylamine and is mixed with an equimolar
amount of the other Fab'-TNB derivative to form the bispecific
antibody. The bispecific antibodies produced can be used as agents
for the selective immobilization of enzymes.
[3455] Fab' fragments may be directly recovered from E. coli and
chemically coupled to form bispecific antibodies. Shalaby et al.,
J. Exp. Med. 175:217-225 (1992) describe the production of a fully
humanized bispecific antibody F(ab').sub.2 molecule. Each Fab'
fragment was separately secreted from E. coli and subjected to
directed chemical coupling in vitro to form the bispecific
antibody. The bispecific antibody thus formed was able to bind to
cells overexpressing the ErbB2 receptor and normal human T cells,
as well as trigger the lytic activity of human cytotoxic
lymphocytes against human breast tumor targets.
[3456] Various technique for making and isolating bispecific
antibody fragments directly from recombinant cell culture have also
been described. For example, bispecific antibodies have been
produced using leucine zippers. Kostelny et al., J. Immunol.
148(5):1547-1553 (1992). The leucine zipper peptides from the Fos
and Jun proteins were linked to the Fab' portions of two different
antibodies by gene fusion. The antibody homodimers were reduced at
the hinge region to form monomers and then re-oxidized to form the
antibody heterodimers. This method can also be utilized for the
production of antibody homodimers. The "diabody" technology
described by Hollinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
90:6444-6448 (1993) has provided an alternative mechanism for
making bispecific antibody fragments. The fragments comprise a
heavy-chain variable domain (V.sub.H) connected to a light-chain
variable domain (V.sub.L) by a linker which is too short to allow
pairing between the two domains on the same chain. Accordingly, the
V.sub.H and V.sub.L domains of one fragment are forced to pair with
the complementary V.sub.L and V.sub.H domains of another fragment,
thereby forming two antigen-binding sites. Another strategy for
making bispecific antibody fragments by the use of single-chain Fv
(sFv) dimers has also been reported. See, Gruber et al., J.
Immunol. 152:5368 (1994). Antibodies with more than two valencies
are contemplated. For example, trispecific antibodies can be
prepared. Tutt et al., J. Immunol. 147:60 (1991).
[3457] Exemplary bispecific antibodies may bind to two different
epitopes on a given PRO polypeptide herein. Alternatively, an
anti-PRO polypeptide arm may be combined with an arm which binds to
a triggering molecule on a leukocyte such as a T-cell receptor
molecule (e.g. CD2, CD3, CD28, or B7), or Fc receptors for IgG
(Fc.gamma.R), such as Fc.gamma.RI (CD64), Fc.gamma.RII (CD32) and
Fc.gamma.RIII (CD16) so as to focus cellular defense mechanisms to
the cell expressing the particular PRO polypeptide. Bispecific
antibodies may also be used to localize cytotoxic agents to cells
which express a particular PRO polypeptide. These antibodies
possess a PRO-binding arm and an arm which binds a cytotoxic agent
or a radionuclide chelator, such as EOTUBE, DPTA, DOTA, or TETA.
Another bispecific antibody of interest binds the PRO polypeptide
and further binds tissue factor (TF).
[3458] 5. Heteroconugate Antibodies
[3459] Heteroconjugate antibodies are also within the scope of the
present invention. Heteroconjugate antibodies are composed of two
covalently joined antibodies. Such antibodies have, for example,
been proposed to target immune system cells to unwanted cells [U.S.
Pat. No. 4,676,980], and for treatment of HIV infection [WO
91/00360; WO 921200373; EP 03089]. It is contemplated that the
antibodies may be prepared in vitro using known methods in
synthetic protein chemistry, including those involving crosslinking
agents. For example, immunotoxins may be constructed using a
disulfide exchange reaction or by forming a thioether bond.
Examples of suitable reagents for this purpose include
iminothiolate and methyl-4-mercaptobutyrimidate and those
disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,676,980.
[3460] 6. Effector Function Engineering
[3461] It may be desirable to modify the antibody of the invention
with respect to effector function, so as to enhance, e.g., the
effectiveness of the antibody in treating cancer. For example,
cysteine residue(s) may be introduced into the Fc region, thereby
allowing interchain disulfide bond formation in this region. The
homodimeric antibody thus generated may have improved
internalization capability and/or increased complement-mediated
cell killing and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).
See Caron et al., J. Exp Med., 176: 1191-1195(1992) and Shopes, J.
Immunol., 148: 2918-2922(1992). Homodineric antibodies with
enhanced anti-tumor activity may also be prepared using
heterobifunctional cross-linkers as described in Wolff et al.
Cancer Research, 53: 2560-2565 (1993). Alternatively, an antibody
can be engineered that has dual Fc regions and may thereby have
enhanced complement lysis and ADCC capabilities. See Stevenson et
al., Anti-Cancer Drug Design. 3: 219-230 (1989).
[3462] 7. Immunoconiugates
[3463] The invention also pertains to immunoconjugates comprising
an antibody conjugated to a cytotoxic agent such as a
chemotherapeutic agent, toxin (e.g., an enzymatically active toxin
of bacterial, flngal, plant, or animal origin, or fragments
thereof), or a radioactive isotope (i.e., a radioconjugate).
[3464] Chemotherapeutic agents useful in the generation of such
immunoconjugates have been described above. Enzymatically active
toxins and fragments thereof that can be used include diphtheria A
chain, nonbinding active fragments of diphtheria toxin, exotoxin A
chain (from Pseudomonas aeruginosa), ricin A chain, abrin A chain,
modeccin A chain, alpha-sarcin, Aleuritesfordii proteins, dianthin
proteins, Phytolaca anzericana proteins (PAPI, PAPII, and PAP-S),
momordica charantia inhibitor, curcin, crotin, sapaonaria
officinalis inhibitor, gelonin, mitogellin, restrictocin,
phenomycin, enomycin, and the tricothecenes. A variety of
radionuclides are available for the production of radioconjugated
antibodies. Examples include .sup.212Bi, .sup.131I, .sup.131In,
.sup.90Y, and .sup.186Re. Conjugates of the antibody and cytotoxic
agent are made using a variety of bifunctional protein-coupling
agents such as N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithiol) propionate
(SPDP), iminothiolane (IT), bifunctional derivatives of imidoesters
(such as dimethyl adipimidate HCL), active esters (such as
disuccinimidyl suberate), aldehydes (such as glutareldehyde),
bis-azido compounds (such as bis (p-azidobenzoyl) hexanediamine),
bis-diazonium derivatives (such as
bis-(p-diazoniumbenzoyl)-ethylenediamine), diisocyanates (such as
tolyene 2,6-diisocyanate), and bis-active fluorine compounds (such
as 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene). For example, a ricin
immunotoxin can be prepared as described in Vitetta et al.,
Science, 238: 1098 (1987). Carbon-14-labeled
1-isothiocyanatobenzyl-3-methyldiethylene triaminepentaacetic acid
(MX-DTPA) is an exemplary chelating agent for conjugation of
radionucleotide to the antibody. See W094/11026.
[3465] In another embodiment, the antibody may be conjugated to a
"receptor" (such streptavidin) for utilization in tumor
pretargeting wherein the antibody-receptor conjugate is
administered to the patient, followed by removal of unbound
conjugate from the circulation using a clearing agent and then
administration of a "ligand" (e.g., avidin) that is conjugated to a
cytotoxic agent (e.g., a radionucleotide).
[3466] 8. Immunoliposomes
[3467] The antibodies disclosed hereinmay also be formulated as
immunoliposomes. Liposomes containing the antibody are prepared by
methods known in the art, such as described in Epstein et al.,
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 82: 3688 (1985); Hwang et al., Proc.
Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 77: 4030 (1980); and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,485,045
and 4,544,545. Liposomes with enhanced circulation time are
disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,013,556.
[3468] Particularly useful liposomes can be generated by the
reverse-phase evaporation method with a lipid composition
comprising phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and PEG-derivatized
phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG-PE). Liposomes are extruded through
filters of defined pore size to yield liposomes with the desired
diameter. Fab' fragments of the antibody of the present invention
can be conjugated to the liposomes as described in Martin et al.,
J. Biol. Chem., 257: 286-288 (1982) via a disulfide-interchange
reaction. A chemotherapeutic agent (such as Doxorubicin) is
optionally contained within the liposome. See Gabizon et al., J.
National Cancer Inst., 81(19): 1484 (1989).
[3469] 9. Pharmaceutical Compositions of Antibodies
[3470] Antibodies specifically binding a PRO polypeptide identified
herein, as well as other molecules identified by the screening
assays disclosed hereinbefore, can be administered for the
treatment of various disorders in the form of pharmaceutical
compositions.
[3471] If the PRO polypeptide is intracellular and whole antibodies
are used as inhibitors, internalizing antibodies are preferred.
However, lipofections or liposomes can also be used to deliver the
antibody, or an antibody fragment, into cells. Where antibody
fragments are used, the smallest inhibitory fragment that
specifically binds to the binding domain of the target protein is
preferred. For example, based upon the variable-region sequences of
an antibody, peptide molecules can be designed that retain the
ability to bind the target protein sequence. Such peptides can be
synthesized chemically and/or produced by recombinant DNA
technology. See, e.g., Marasco et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,
90: 7889-7893 (1993). The formulation herein may also contain more
than one active compound as necessary for the particular indication
being treated, preferably those with complementary activities that
do not adversely affect each other. Alternatively, or in addition,
the composition may comprise an agent that enhances its function,
such as, for example, a cytotoxic agent, cytoline, chemotherapeutic
agent, or growth-inhibitory agent. Such molecules are suitably
present in combination in amounts that are effective for the
purpose intended.
[3472] The active ingredients may also be entrapped in
microcapsules prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or
by interfacial polymerization, for example, hydroxymethylcellulose
or gelatin-microcapsules and poly-(methylmethacylate)
microcapsules, respectively, in colloidal drug delivery systems
(for example, liposomes, albumin microspheres, microemulsions,
nano-particles, and nanocapsules) or in macroemulsions. Such
techniques are disclosed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences,
supra.
[3473] The formulations to be used for in vivo administration must
be sterile. This is readily accomplished by filtration through
sterile filtration membranes.
[3474] Sustained-release preparations may be prepared. Suitable
examples of sustained-release preparations include semipermeable
matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the antibody,
which matrices are in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, or
microcapsules. Examples of sustained-release matrices include
polyesters, hydrogels (for example,
poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate), or poly(vinylalcohol)),
polylactides (U.S. Pat. No. 3,773,919), copolymers of L-glutamic
acid and .gamma. ethyl-L-glutamate, non-degradable ethylene-vinyl
acetate, degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers such as
the LUPRON DEPOT.TM. (injectable microspheres composed of lactic
acid-glycolic acid copolymer and leuprolide acetate), and
poly-D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid. While polymers such as
ethylene-vinyl acetate and lactic acid-glycolic acid enable release
of molecules for over 100 days, certain hydrogels release proteins
for shorter time periods. When encapsulated antibodies remain in
the body for a long time, they may denature or aggregate as a
result of exposure to moisture at 37.degree. C., resulting in a
loss of biological activity and possible changes in immunogenicity.
Rational strategies can be devised for stabilization depending on
the mechanism involved. For example, if the aggregation mechanism
is discovered to be intermolecular S--S bond formation through
thio-disulfide interchange, stabilization may be achieved by
modifying sulfhydryl residues, lyophilizing from acidic solutions,
controlling moisture content, using appropriate additives, and
developing specific polymer matrix compositions.
[3475] G. Uses for Anti-PRO Antibodies
[3476] The anti-PRO antibodies of the invention have various
utilities. For example, anti-PRO antibodies may be used in
diagnostic assays for PRO, e.g., detecting its expression in
specific cells, tissues, or serum. Various diagnostic assay
techniques known in the art may be used, such as competitive
binding assays, direct or indirect sandwich assays and
immunoprecipitation assays conducted in either heterogeneous or
homogeneous phases [Zola, Monoclonal Antibodies: A Manual of
Techniques, CRC Press, Inc. (1987) pp. 147-158]. The antibodies
used in the diagnostic assays can be labeled with a detectable
moiety. The detectable moiety should be capable of producing,
either directly or indirectly, a detectable signal. For example,
the detectable moiety may be a radioisotope, such as .sup.3H,
.sup.14C, .sup.32P, .sup.35S, or .sup.125I, a fluorescent or
chemiluminescent compound, such as fluorescein isothiocyanate,
rhodanine, or luciferin, or an enzyme, such as alkaline
phosphatase, beta-galactosidase or horseradish peroxidase. Any
method known in the art for conjugating the antibody to the
detectable moiety may be employed, including those methods
described by Hunter et al., Nature, 144:945 (1962); David et al.,
Biochemistry, 13:1014 (1974); Pain et al., J. Immunol. Meth.,
40:219 (1981); and Nygren, J. Histochem. and Cvtochem., 30:407
(1982).
[3477] Anti-PRO antibodies also are useful for the affinity
purification of PRO from recombinant cell culture or natural
sources. In this process, the antibodies against PRO are
immobilized on a suitable support, such a Sephadex resin or filter
paper, using methods well known in the art. The immobilized
antibody then is contacted with a sample containing the PRO to be
purified, and thereafter the support is washed with a suitable
solvent that will remove substantially all the material in the
sample except the PRO, which is bound to the immobilized antibody.
Finally, the support is washed with another suitable solvent that
will release the PRO from the antibody.
[3478] The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes
only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present
invention in any way.
[3479] All patent and literature references cited in the present
specification are hereby incorporated by reference in their
entirety.
EXAMPLES
[3480] Commercially available reagents referred to in the examples
were used according to manufacturer's instructions unless otherwise
indicated. The source of those cells identified in the following
examples, and throughout the specification, by ATCC accession
numbers is the American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Va.
Example 1
Extracellular Domain Homologv Screening to Identify Novel
Polypeptides and cDNA Encoding Therefor
[3481] The extracellular domain (ECD) sequences (including the
secretion signal sequence, if any) from about 950 known secreted
proteins from the Swiss-Prot public database were used to search
EST databases. The EST databases included public databases (e.g.,
Dayhoff, GenBank), and proprietary databases (e.g. LIFESEQ.RTM.,
Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.). The search was
performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST-2 (Altschul et
al., Methods in Enzymology 266:460-480 (1996)) as a comparison of
the ECD protein sequences to a 6 frame translation of the EST
sequences. Those comparisons with a BLAST score of 70 (or in some
cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were
clustered and assembled into consensus DNA sequences with the
program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle,
Wash.).
[3482] Using this extracellular domain homology screen, consensus
DNA sequences were assembled relative to the other identified EST
sequences using phrap. In addition, the consensus DNA sequences
obtained were often (but not always) extended using repeated cycles
of BLAST or BLAST-2 and phrap to extend the consensus sequence as
far as possible using the sources of EST sequences discussed
above.
[3483] Based upon the consensus sequences obtained as described
above, oligonucleotides were then synthesized and used to identify
by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest and
for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding
sequence for a PRO polypeptide. Forward and reverse PCR primers
generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and are often designed to
give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in length. The probe
sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In some cases,
additional oligonucleotides are synthesized when the consensus
sequence is greater than about 1-1.Skbp. In order to screen several
libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was
screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al., Current
Protocols in Molecular Biology, with the PCR primer pair. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene
of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer
pairs.
[3484] The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones were
constructed by standard methods using commercially available
reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA
was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt
to SalI hernikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized
appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined
orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD;
pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site;
see, Holmes et al., Science, 253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique
XhoI and NotI sites.
Example 2
Isolation of cDNA Clones by Amylase Screening
[3485] 1. Preparation of Oligo dT Primed cDNA Library
[3486] mRNA was isolated from a human tissue of interest using
reagents and protocols fiom Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. (Fast
Track 2). This RNA was used to generate an oligo dT primed cDNA
library in the vector pRK5D using reagents and protocols from Life
Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD (Super Script Plasmid System). In
this procedure, the double stranded cDNA was sized to greater than
1000 bp and the SalI/NotI Tinkered cDNA was cloned into XhoI/NotI
cleaved vector. pRK5D is a cloning vector that has an sp6
transcription initiation site followed by an SfiI restriction
enzyme site preceding the XhoI/NotI cDNA cloning sites.
[3487] 2. Preparation of Random Primed cDNA Library
[3488] A secondary EDNA library was generated in order to
preferentially represent the 5' ends of the primary cDNA clones.
Sp6 RNA was generated from the primary library (described above),
and this RNA was used to generate a random primed cDNA library in
the vector pSST-AMY.0 using reagents and protocols from Life
Technologies (Super Script Plasmid System, referenced above). In
this procedure the double stranded cDNA was sized to 500-1000 bp,
Tinkered with blunt to NotI adaptors, cleaved with SfiI, and cloned
into SfiI/NotI cleaved vector. pSST-AMY.0 is a cloning vector that
has a yeast alcohol dehydrogenase promoter preceding the cDNA
cloning sites and the mouse amylase sequence (the mature sequence
without the secretion signal) followed by the yeast alcohol
dehydrogenase terminator, after the cloning sites. Thus, cDNAs
cloned into this vector that are fused in frame with amylase
sequence will lead to the secretion of amylase from appropriately
transfected yeast colonies.
[3489] 3. Transformation and Detection
[3490] DNA from the library described in paragraph 2 above was
chilled on ice to which was added electrocompetent DH10B bacteria
(Life Technologies, 20 ml). The bacteria and vector mixture was
then electroporated as recommended by the manufacturer.
Subsequently, SOC media (Life Technologies, 1 ml) was added and the
mixture was incubated at 37.degree. C. for 30 minutes. The
transformants were then plated onto 20 standard 150 mm LB plates
containing ampicillin and incubated for 16 hours (37.degree. C.).
Positive colonies were scraped off the plates and the DNA was
isolated from the bacterial pellet using standard protocols, e.g.
CsCl-gradient. The purified DNA was then carried on to the yeast
protocols below.
[3491] The yeast methods were divided into three categories: (1)
Transformation of yeast with the plasmid/cDNA combined vector; (2)
Detection and isolation of yeast clones secreting amylase; and (3)
PCR amplification of the insert directly from the yeast colony and
purification of the DNA for sequencing and further analysis.
[3492] The yeast strain used was HD56-5A (ATCC-90785). This strain
has the following genotype: MAT alpha, ura3-52, leu2-3, leu2-112,
his3-11, his3-15, MAL.sup.+, SUC.sup.+, GAL.sup.+. Preferably,
yeast mutants can be employed that have deficient
post-translational pathways. Such mutants may have translocation
deficient alleles in sec71, sec72, sec62, with truncated sec71
being most preferred. Alternatively, antagonists (including
antisense nucleotides and/or ligands) which interfere with the
normal operation of these genes, other proteins implicated in this
post translation pathway (e.g., SEC61p, SEC72p, SEC62p, SEC63p,
TDJ1p or SSA1p-4p) or the complex formation of these proteins may
also be preferably employed in combination with the
amylase-expressing yeast.
[3493] Transformation was performed based on the protocol outlined
by Gietz et al., Nucl. Acid. Res., 20:1425 (1992). Transformed
cells were then inoculated from agar into YEPD complex media broth
(100 ml) and grown overnight at 30.degree. C. The YEPD broth was
prepared as described in Kaiser et al., Methods in Yeast Genetics,
Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., p. 207 (1994).
The overnight culture was then diluted to about 2.times.10.sup.6
cells/ml (approx. OD.sub.600=0.1) into fresh YEPD broth (500 ml)
and regrown to 1.times.10.sup.7 cells/ml (approx.
OD.sub.600=0.4-0.5).
[3494] The cells were then harvested and prepared for
transformation by transfer into GS3 rotor bottles in a Sorval GS3
rotor at 5,000 rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant discarded, and
then resuspended into sterile water, and centrifuged again in 50 ml
falcon tubes at 3,500 rpm in a Beckman GS-6KR centrifuge. The
supernatant was discarded and the cells were subsequently washed
with LiAc/TE (10 ml, 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA pH 7.5, 100 mM
Li.sub.2OOCCH.sub.3), and resuspended into LiAc/TE (2.5 ml).
[3495] Transformationtookplaceby mixing thepreparedcells (100
.mu.l) with freshly denatured single stranded salmon testes DNA
(Lofstrand Labs, Gaithersburg, Md.) and transforming DNA (1 .mu.g,
vol.<10 .mu.l) in microfuge tubes. The mixture was mixed briefly
by vortexing, then 40% PEG/TE (600 .mu.l, 40% polyethylene
glycol-4000, 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, 100 mM Li.sub.2OOCCH.sub.3,
pH 7.5) was added. This mixture was gently mixed and incubated at
30.degree. C. while agitating for 30 minutes. The cells were then
heat shocked at 42.degree. C. for 15 minutes, and the reaction
vessel centrifuged in a microfuge at 12,000 rpm for 5-10 seconds,
decanted and resuspended into TE (500 .mu.l, 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM
EDTA pH 7.5) followed by recentrifugation. The cells were then
diluted into TE (1 ml) and aliquots (200 .mu.l) were spread onto
the selective media previously prepared in 150 mm growth plates
(VWR).
[3496] Alternatively, instead of multiple small reactions, the
transformation was performed using a single, large scale reaction,
wherein reagent amounts were scaled up accordingly.
[3497] The selective media used was a synthetic complete dextrose
agar lacking uracil (SCD-Ura) prepared as described in Kaiser et
al., Methods in Yeast Genetics, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold
Spring Harbor, N.Y., p. 208-210 (1994). Transformants were grown at
30.degree. C. for 2-3 days.
[3498] The detection of colonies secreting amylase was performed by
including red starch in the selective growth media. Starch was
coupled to the red dye (Reactive Red-120, Sigma) as per the
procedure described by Biely et al., Anal. Biochem., 172:176-179
(1988). The coupled starch was incorporated into the SCD-Ura agar
plates at a final concentration of 0.15% (w/v), and was buffered
with potassium phosphate to a pH of 7.0 (50-100 mM fmal
concentration).
[3499] The positive colonies were picked and streaked across fresh
selective media (onto 150 mm plates) in order to obtain well
isolated and identifiable single colonies. Well isolated single
colonies positive for amylase secretion were detected by direct
incorporation of red starch into buffered SCD-Ura agar. Positive
colonies were determined by their ability to break down starch
resulting in a clear halo around the positive colony visualized
directly.
[3500] 4. Isolation of DNA bv PCR Amplification
[3501] When a positive colony was isolated, a portion of it was
picked by a toothpick and diluted into sterile water (30 .mu.l) in
a 96 well plate. At this time, the positive colonies were either
frozen and stored for subsequent analysis or immediately amplified.
An aliquot of cells (5 .mu.l) was used as a template for the PCR
reaction in a 25 .mu.l volume containing: 0.5 .mu.l Klentaq
(Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.); 4.0 ,.mu.l 10 mM dNTP's (Perldn
Elmer-Cetus); 2.5 .mu.l Kentaq buffer (Clontech); 0.25 .mu.l
forward oligo 1; 0.25 .mu.l reverse oligo 2; 12.5 .mu.l distilled
water. The sequence of the forward oligonucleotide 1 was:
7 5'-TGTAAAACGACGGCCAGTTAAATAGACCTGCAATTATTAATCT-3' (SEQ ID
NO:3)
[3502] The sequence of reverse oligonucleotide 2 was:
8 5'-CAGGAAACAGCTATGACCACCTGCACACCTGCAAATCCATT-3' (SEQ ID NO:4)
[3503] PCR was then performed as follows:
9 a. Denature 92.degree. C., 5 minutes b. 3 cycles of: Denature
92.degree. C., 30 seconds Anneal 59.degree. C., 30 seconds Extend
72.degree. C., 60 seconds c. 3 cycles of: Denature 92.degree. C.,
30 seconds Anneal 57.degree. C., 30 seconds Extend 72.degree. C.,
60 seconds d. 25 cycles of: Denature 92.degree. C., 30 seconds
Anneal 55.degree. C., 30 seconds Extend 72.degree. C., 60 seconds
e. Hold 4.degree. C.
[3504] The underlined regions of the oligonucleotides annealed to
the ADH promoter region and the amylase region, respectively, and
amplified a 307 bp region from vector pSST-AMY.0 when no insert was
present. Typically, the first 18 nucleotides of the 5' end of these
oligonucleotides contained annealing sites for the sequencing
primers. Thus, the total product of the PCR reaction from an empty
vector was 343 bp. However, signal sequence-fused cDNA resulted in
considerably longer nucleotide sequences.
[3505] Following the PCR, an aliquot of the reaction (5 .mu.l) was
examined by agarose gel electrophoresis in a 1% agarose gel using a
Tris-Borate-EDTA (TBE) buffering system as described by Sambrook et
al., supra. Clones resulting in a single strong PCR product larger
than 400 bp were further analyzed by DNA sequencing after
purification with a 96 Qiaquick PCR clean-up column (Qiagen Inc.,
Chatsworth, Calif.).
Example 3
Isolation of cDNA Clones Using Signal Algorithm Analysis
[3506] Various polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid sequences were
identified by applying a proprietary signal sequence finding
algorithm developed by Genentech, Inc. (South San Francisco,
Calif.) upon ESTs as well as clustered and assembled EST fragments
from public (e.g., GenBank) and/or private (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Palo Alto, Calif.) databases. The signal
sequence algorithm computes a secretion signal score based on the
character of the DNA nucleotides surrounding the first and
optionally the second methionine codon(s) (ATG) at the 5'-end of
the sequence or sequence fragment under consideration. The
nucleotides following the first ATG must code for at least 35
unambiguous amino acids without any stop codons. If the first ATG
has the required amino acids, the second is not examined. If
neither meets the requirement, the candidate sequence is not
scored. In order to determine whether the EST sequence contains an
authentic signal sequence, the DNA and corresponding amino acid
sequences surrounding the ATG codon are scored using a set of seven
sensors (evaluation parameters) known to be associated with
secretion signals. Use of this algorithm resulted in the
identification of numerous polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid
sequences.
Example 4
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO281
[3507] In order to obtain a cDNA clone encoding PRO281, methods
described in Klein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93:7108-7113
(1996) were employed with the following modifications. Yeast
transformation was performed with limiting amounts of transforming
DNA in order to reduce the number of multiple transformed yeast
cells. Instead of plasmid isolation from the yeast followed by
transformation of E. coli as described in Klein et al., supra, PCR
analysis was performed on single yeast colonies. PCR primers
employed were bipartite in order to amplify the insert and a small
portion of the invertase gene (allowing to determine that the
insert was in frame with invertase) and to add on universal
sequencing primer sites.
[3508] An invertase library was transformed into yeast and
positives were selected on sucrose plates. Positive clones were
re-tested and PCR products were sequenced. The sequence of one
clone, PRO281, was determined to contain a signal peptide coding
sequence. Oligonucleotide primers and probes were designed using
the nucleotide sequence of PRO281. A full length plasmid library of
cDNAs from human umbilical vein endothelium tissue was titered and
approximately 100,000 cfu were plated in 192 pools of 500 cfu/pool
into 96-well round bottom plates. The plates were sealed and pools
were grown overnight at 37.degree. C. with shaking (200 rpm). PCR
was performed on the individual cultures using primers. Agarose gel
electrophoresis was performed and positive wells were identified by
visualization of a band of the expected size. Individual positive
clones were obtained by colony lift followed by hybridization with
.sup.32P-labeled oligonucleotide. These clones were characterized
by PCR, restriction digest, and southern blot analyses.
[3509] A full length clone was identified that contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 80-82, and a stop signal at nucleotide
positions 1115-1117 (FIG. 1, SEQ ID NO: 1). The predicted
polypeptide precursor is 345 amino acids long, has a calculated
molecular weight of approximately 37,205 daltons and an estimated
pI of approximately 10.15. Analysis of the full-length PRO281
sequence shown in FIG. 2 (SEQ ID NO:2) evidences the presence of
the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1 to about
amino acid 14, multiple transmembrane domains from about amino acid
position 83 to about amino acid position 105, from about amino acid
position 126 to about amino acid position 146, from about amino
acid position 158 to about amino acid position 177, from about
amino acid position 197 to about amino acid position 216, from
about amino acid position 218 to about amino acid position 238,
from about amino acid position 245 to about amino acid position
265, and from about amino acid position 271 to about amino acid
position 290 and an amino acid sequence block having homology to
G-protein coupled receptor proteins from about amino acid 115 to
about amino acid 155. Clone UNQ244 (DNA16422-1209) has been
deposited with ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit
no. 209929.
[3510] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST-2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 2 (SEQ ID NO:2), evidenced
significant homology between the PRO281 amino acid sequence and the
following Dayhoff sequences: H64634, AF033095.sub.--1, B64815,
YBHL_ECOLI, EMEQUTR.sub.--1, AF064763.sub.--3, S53708, A69253,
AF035413.sub.--12 and S63281.
Example 5
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO276
[3511] In order to obtain a cDNA clone encoding PRO276, methods
described in Klein et al., PNAS, 93:7108-7113 (1996) were employed
with the following modifications. Yeast transformation was
performed with limiting amounts of transforming DNA in order to
reduce the number of multiple transformed yeast cells. Instead of
plasmid isolation from the yeast followed by transformation of E.
coli as described in Klein et al., supra, PCR analysis was
performed on single yeast colonies. PCR primers employed were
bipartite in order to amplify the insert and a small portion of the
invertase gene (allowing to determine that the insert was in frame
with invertase) and to add on universal sequencing primer
sites.
[3512] An invertase library was transformed into yeast and
positives were selected on sucrose plates. Positive clones were
re-tested and PCR products were sequenced. The sequence of one
clone, PRO276, was determined to contain a signal peptide coding
sequence. Oligonucleotide primers and probes were designed using
the nucleotide sequence of PRO276. A full length plasmid library of
cDNAs from human fetal liver cells was titered and approximately
100,000 cfu were plated in 192 pools of 500 cfu/pool into 96-well
round bottom plates. The plates were sealed and pools were grown
overnight at 37 C. with shaking (200 rpm). PCR was performed on the
individual cultures using primers. Agarose gel electrophoresis was
performed and positive wells were identified by visualization of a
band of the expected size. Individual positive clones were obtained
by colony lift followed by hybridization with .sup.32P-labeled
oligonucleotide. These clones were characterized by PCR,
restriction digest, and southern blot analyses.
[3513] A full length clone was identified that contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 180-182 and a stop signal at nucleotide
positions 933-935 (FIG. 3; SEQ ID NO:5). The predicted polypeptide
precursor is 251 amino acids long has a calculated molecular weight
of approximately 28,801 daltons and an estimated pI of
approximately 9.58. The transmembrane domains are approximately at
amino acids 98-116 and 152-172 of the sequence shown in FIG. 4 (SEQ
ID NO:6). Clone DNA16435-1208 (UNQ243) has been deposited with the
ATCC and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209930.
[3514] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST-2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 4 (SEQ ID NO:6), revealed some
sequence identity between the PRO276 amino acid sequence and the
following Dayhoff sequences: CEG25D7.sub.--2, ATT805.sub.--2,
S69696, GRHR_RAT, NPCBAABCD.sub.--3, AB013149.sub.--1, P_R85942 and
AP000006.sub.--5.
Example 6
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO189
[3515] A clone designated herein as DNA14187 was isolated as
described in Example 2 above from a human retina tissue library.
The DNA14187 sequence is shown in FIG. 7 (SEQ ID NO:9). Based on
the DNA14187 sequence shown in FIG. 7 (SEQ ID NO:9),
oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA
library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as
probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for
PRO189. Forward and reverse PCR primers generally range from 20 to
30 nucleotides and are often designed to give a PCR product of
about 100-1000 bp in length. The probe sequences are typically
40-55 bp in length. In order to screen several libraries for a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification, as per Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in
Molecular Biology, with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was
then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the
probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.
[3516] A pair of PCR primers (forward and reverse) were
synthesized:
10 forward PCR primer 5'-TTGACCTATACAGAGATTCATC-3' (SEQ ID NO:10);
and reverse PCR primer 5'-CTAAGAACTTCCCTCAGGATTTT-3' (SEQ ID
NO:11).
[3517] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the DNA14187 sequence which had the
following nucleotide sequence:
11 hybridization probe 5'-ATGAAGATCAATTTCAAGAAGCATGCACTTCT-
CCTCTTGC-3' (SEQ ID NO:12).
[3518] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO189 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.
[3519] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from
human retina tissue (LIB94). The cDNA libraries used to isolate the
cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially
available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif.
The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked
with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized
appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined
orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD;
pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the Sfii site;
see, Holmes et al., Science, 253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique
XhoI and NotI sites.
[3520] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO189 and the derived
protein sequence for PRO189.
[3521] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA21624-1391 is shown in
FIG. 5 (SEQ ID NO:7). Clone DNA21624-1391 contains a single open
reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at
nucleotide positions 200-202 and ending at the stop codon at
nucleotide positions 1301-1303 (FIG. 5). The predicted polypeptide
precursor is 367 amino acids long (FIG. 6). The full-length PRO189
protein shown in FIG. 6 has an estimated molecular weight of about
41,871 daltons and a pI of about 5.06. Clone DNA21624-1391 has been
deposited with the ATCC. Regarding the sequence, it is understood
that the deposited clone contains the correct sequence, and the
sequences provided herein are based on known sequencing
techniques.
[3522] Analyzing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:8, the
putative N-glycosylation sites are at about amino acids 224-227,
246-249 and 285-288. A domain for cytosolic fatty-acid binding
proteins is at amino acids 78-107 of SEQ ID NO:8. The corresponding
nucleotides can be routinely determined given the sequences
provided herein.
[3523] Some sequence identity was found to WO1A6.1 and F35D11.11,
C. Elegans proteins, designated in a Dayhoff database as
CEWO1A6.sub.--10 and CELF35D11.sub.--1, respectively. Some sequence
identity was also found to an antigen to malaria and to restin,
designated in a Dayhoff database as P_R05766 and AF014012.sub.--1,
respectively. Some sequence identity was also found to a
microtubule binding protein and to myosin, designated in a Dayhoff
database as AF041382.sub.--1 and S07537, respectively. There is
also some sequence identity with 1-phosphatidylinositol-4,
5-bisphosphate, designated as PIPI_RAT.
Example 7
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO190
[3524] A clone designated herein as DNA14232 was isolated as
described in Example 2 above from a human fetal retina tissue
library. The DNA14232 sequence is shown in FIG. 10 (SEQ ID NO: 15).
Based on the DNA 14232 sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized:
1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO190. Forward and reverse PCR
primers generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and are often
designed to give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in length. The
probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In order to
screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the
libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,
Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, with the PCR primer pair. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene
of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer
pairs.
[3525] A pair of PCR primers (forward and reverse) were
synthesized:
12 forward PCR primer 5'-CTATACCTACTGTAGCTTCT-3' (SEQ ID NO:16);
and reverse PCR primer 5'-TCAGAGAATTCCTTCCAGGA-3' (SEQ ID
NO:17).
[3526] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the DNA14232 sequence which had the
following nucleotide sequence:
13 hybridization probe 5'-ACAGTGCTGTAGTCATCCTGTAATATGCTCCT-
TGTCAACA-3' (SEQ ID NO:18).
[3527] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO190 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.
[3528] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from
human retina tissue (L1B94). The cDNA libraries used to isolate the
cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially
available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif.
The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked
with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized
appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined
orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD;
pRKSB is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site;
see, Holmes et al., Science, 253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique
XhoI and NotI sites.
[3529] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave sequences which include the full-length DNA sequence for
PRO190 [herein designated as DNA23334-1392] (SEQ ID NO: 13) and the
derived protein sequence for PRO190.
[3530] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA23334-1392 is shown in
FIG. 8 (SEQ ID NO: 13). Clone DNA23334-1392 contains a single open
reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at
nucleotide positions 193-195 and which ends at the stop codon at
nucleotide positions 1465-1467 (FIG. 8). The predicted polypeptide
precursor is 424 amino acids long (FIG. 9). The fiull-length PRO190
protein shown in FIG. 9 has an estimated molecular weight of about
48,500 daltons and a pI of about 8.65. Clone DNA23334-1392 has been
deposited with the ATCC. Regarding the sequence, it is understood
that the deposited clone contains the correct sequence, and the
sequences provided herein are based on known sequencing
techniques.
[3531] Analyzing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14, the
putative transmembrane domains are at about amino acids 16-36,
50-74, 147-168, 229-250, 271-293, 298-318 and 328-368 of SEQ ID
NO:14. N-glycosylation sites are at about amino acids 128-131,
204-207, 218-221 and 274-377 of SEQ ID NO: 14. The corresponding
nucleotides can be routinely determined given the sequences
provided herein.
[3532] PRO190 has sequence identity with at least the following
Dayhoff sequences designated as: CEZK896.sub.--2, JC5023,
GMS1_SCHPO and S44668.
Example 8
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO341
[3533] A clone designated herein as DNA 12920 was isolated as
described in Example 2 above from a human placenta tissue library.
The DNA12920 sequence is shown in FIG. 13 (SEQ ID NO:21). The
DNA12920 sequence was then compared to various EST databases
including public EST databases (e.g., GenBank), and a proprietary
EST database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto,
Calif.) to identify homologous EST sequences. The comparison was
performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et
al., Methods in Enzymology, 266:460-480 (1996)]. Those comparisons
resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases, 90) or greater
that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled
into a consensus DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green,
University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). This consensus sequence
is herein designated DNA25314. Oligonucleotide primers based upon
the DNA25314 sequence were then synthesized and employed to screen
a human placenta cDNA library which resulted in the identification
of the DNA26288-1239 clone shown in FIG. 11. The cloning vector was
pRK5B (pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI
site; see, Holmes et al., Science, 253:1278-1280 (1991)), and the
cDNA size cut was less than 2800 bp.
[3534] A full length clone was identified that contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 380-382, and a stop signal at nucleotide
positions 1754-1756 (FIG. 11, SEQ ID NO: 19). The predicted
polypeptide precursor is 458 amino acids long, has a calculated
molecular weight of approximately 50,264 daltons and an estimated
pI of approximately 8.17. Analysis of the full-length PRO341
sequence shown in FIG. 12 (SEQ ID NO:20) evidences the presence of
the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1 to about
amino acid 17, transmembrane domains from about amino acid 171 to
about amino acid 190, from about amino acid 220 to about amino acid
239, from about amino acid 259 to about amino acid 275, from about
amino acid 286 to about amino acid 305, from about amino acid 316
to about amino acid 335, from about amino acid 353 to about amino
acid 378 and from about amino acid 396 to about amino acid 417 and
potential N-glycosylation sites from about amino acid 145 to about
amino acid 147 and from about amino acid 155 to about amino acid
158. Clone DNA26288-1239 has been deposited with ATCC on Apr. 21,
1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209792.
[3535] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST-2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 12 (SEQ ID NO:20), evidenced
homology between the PRO341 amino acid sequence and the following
Dayhoff sequences: S75696, H69788, D69852, A69888, B64918, F64752,
LPU89276.sub.--1, G64962, S52977 and S44253.
Example 9
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO180
[3536] A clone designated herein as DNA12922 was isolated as
described in Example 2 above from a human placenta tissue library.
The DNA12922 sequence is shown in FIG. 16 (SEQ ID NO:24). The
DNA12922 sequence was then compared to various EST databases
including public EST databases (e.g., GenBank), and a proprietary
EST database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto,
Calif.) to identify homologous EST sequences. The comparison was
performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et
al., Methods in Enzymology, 266:460-480 (1996)]. Those comparisons
resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases, 90) or greater
that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled
into a consensus DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green,
University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.).
[3537] An oligonucleotide probe was formed based upon the consensus
sequence obtained above. This probe had the following sequence.
14 5'-ACCTGTTAGAAATGTGGTGGTTTCAGCAAGGCCTCAGTTT (SEQ ID NO:25).
[3538] This probe was used to screen a human placenta library
prepared as described in paragraph 1 of Example 2 above. The
cloning vector was pRK5B (pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does
not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al., Science, 253:
1278-1280 (1991)), and the cDNA size cut was less than 2800 bp. A
clone designated herein as DNA26843-1389 was obtained.
[3539] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA26843-1389 is shown in
FIG. 14 (SEQ ID NO:22). Clone DNA26843-1389 contains a single open
reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at
nucleotide positions 121-123 and ending at the stop codon at
nucleotide positions 919-921 (FIG. 14). The predicted polypeptide
precursor is 266 amino acids long (FIG. 15). The full-length PRO180
protein shown in FIG. 15 has an estimated molecular weight of about
29,766 daltons and a pI of about 8.39. Clone DNA26843-1389 has been
deposited with the ATCC. Regarding the sequence, it is understood
that the deposited clone contains the correct sequence, and the
sequences provided herein are based on known sequencing
techniques.
[3540] Still analyzing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:23, the
transmembrane domains are at about amino acids 13-33 (type II),
54-73, 94-113, 160-180 and 122-141 of SEQ ID NO:23.
N-myristoylation sites are at about amino acids 57-62, 95-100,
99-104, 124-129 and 183-188 of SEQ ID NO:23. The corresponding
nucleotides can be routinely determined given the sequences
provided herein.
[3541] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 15 (SEQ ID NO:23), evidenced
some sequence identity between the PRO180 amino acid sequence and
the following Dayhoff sequences: CEC33A11.sub.--2, CEGllE6.sub.--5,
CELW03A5.sub.--1 AND PEU83861.sub.--2 (NADH dehydrogenase subunit
4L, mitochondrion).
Example 10
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO194
[3542] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST
sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This
consensus sequence is herein DNA19464. Based on the DNA19464
consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to
identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO194. PCR primers (forward and
reverse) were synthesized based upon the DNA19464 sequence.
Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was
constructed from the consensus DNA19464 sequence.
[3543] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO194 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for
construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal
lung tissue (LIB25).
[3544] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO194 [herein designated as
DNA26844-1394] (SEQ ID NO:27) and the derived protein sequence for
PRO194.
[3545] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA26844-1394 is shown in
FIG. 17 (SEQ ID NO:27). Clone DNA26844-1394 contains a single open
reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at
nucleotide positions 81-83 and ending at the stop codon at
nucleotide positions 873-875 (FIG. 17). The predicted polypeptide
precursor is 264 amino acids long (FIG. 18). The full-length PRO194
protein shown in FIG. 18 has an estimated molecular weight of about
29,665 daltons and a pI of about 9.34. Analysis of the full-length
PRO194 sequence shown in FIG. 18 (SEQ ID NO:28) evidences the
presence of various important polypeptides domains as shown in FIG.
18. Clone DNA26844-1394 has been deposited with ATCC on Jun. 2,
1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209926.
[3546] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO194 polypeptide suggests that it does not exhibit significant
sequence similarity to any known human protein. However, an
analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35)
evidenced some homology between the PRO194 amino acid sequence and
the following Dayhoff sequences, HUMORFT.sub.--1, CET07F10.sub.--5,
ATFCA9.sub.--12, F64934, YDJX_ECOLI, ATAF00065719F29G20.19, H70002,
S76980, H64934 and S76385.
Example 11
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO203
[3547] A clone designated herein as DNA15618 was isolated as
described in Example 2 above from a human fetal lung tissue
library. The DNA15618 sequence is shown in FIG. 21 (SEQ ID NO:31).
Oligonucleotide probes were generated from the sequence of the
DNA15618 molecule and were used to screen a human fetal lung
library (LIB26) prepared as described in paragraph 1 of Example 2
above. The cloning vector was pRK5B (pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D
that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al., Science,
253:1278-1280 (1991)), and the cDNA size cut was less than 2800
bp.
[3548] A full length clone was identified that contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 159-161 and ending at the stop codon found
at nucleotide positions 1200-1202 (FIG. 19; SEQ ID NO:29). The
predicted polypeptide precursor is 347 amino acids long, has a
calculated molecular weight of approximately 39,870 daltons and an
estimated pI of approximately 6.76. Analysis of the full-length
PRO203 sequence shown in FIG. 20 (SEQ ID NO:30) evidences the
presence of the following: a type II transmembrane domain at about
amino acid 64 to about amino acid 87; possible N-glycosylation
sites at about amino acid 147 to about amino acid 150, about amino
acid 155 to about amino acid 158, and about amino acid 237 to about
amino acid 240; sequence identity with heavy-metal-associated
domain proteins at about amino acid 23 to about amino acid 45, and
sequence identity with D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid
dehydrogenase at about amino acid 24 to about amino acid 34. Clone
DNA30862-1396 was deposited with the ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998, and is
assigned ATCC deposit no. 209920.
[3549] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO203 polypeptide suggests that it possesses sequence similarity
to GST ATPase, thereby indicating that PRO203 may be a novel GST
ATPase. More specifically, an analysis of the Dayhoff database
(version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced homology between the PRO203
amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences,
AF008124.sub.--1, CFRCD1GEN.sub.--1, and P_R82566.
Example 12
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO290
[3550] An expressed sequence tag (EST) DNA database (LIFESEQ.RTM.,
Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) was searched and an EST
was identified that had homology to beige and FAN. An
oligonucleotide probe based upon the identified EST sequence was
then synthesized and used to screen human fetal kidney cDNA
libraries in an attempt to identify a full-length cDNA clone. The
oligonucleotide probe had the following sequence:
15 5' TGACTGCACTACCCCGTGGCAAGCTGTTGAGCCAGCTCAGCTG 3' (SEQ ID
NO:34).
[3551] RNA for construction of cDNA libraries was isolated from
human fetal kidney tissue. The cDNA libraries used to isolate the
cDNA clones encoding human PRO290 were constructed by standard
methods using commercially available reagents such as those from
Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT
containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased
adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel
electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a
suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor
of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,
Science 253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and Noti.
[3552] A cDNA clone was identified and sequenced in entirety. The
entire nucleotide sequence of DNA35680-1212 is shown in FIG. 22
(SEQ ID NO:32). Clone DNA35680-1212 contains a single open reading
frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide
positions 293-295, and a stop codon at nucleotide positions
3302-3304 (FIG. 22; SEQ ID NO:32). The predicted polypeptide
precursor is 1003 amino acids long.
[3553] It is currently believed that the PRO290 polypeptide is
related to FAN and/or beige. Clone DNA35680-1212 has been deposited
with ATCC and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209790. It is understood
that the deposited clone has the actual correct sequence rather
than the representations provided herein. The full-length PRO290
protein shown in FIG. 23 has an estimated molecular weight of about
112,013 daltons and a pI of about 6.4.
Example 13
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO874
[3554] A consensus DNA sequence designated herein as DNA36459 was
identified using phrap as described in Example 1 above. Based on
the DNA36459 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized:
1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the coding
sequence for PRO874.
[3555] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:
16 forward PCR primer 5'-TCGTGCCCAGGGGCTGATGTGC-3' (SEQ ID NO:37);
and reverse PCR primer 5'-GTCTTTACCCAGCCCCGGGATGCG-3' (SEQ ID
NO:38).
[3556] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the consensus DNA36459 sequence which
had the following nucleotide sequence:
17 hybridization probe 5'-GGCCTAATCCAACGTTCTGTCTTCAATCTGCA-
AATCTATGGGGTCCTGGG-3' (SEQ ID NO:39).
[3557] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification
with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was
then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO874 gene using the
probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for
construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal
lung tissue (LIB25).
[3558] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the DNA sequence for PRO874 [herein designated as
DNA40621-1440] (SEQ ID NO:35) and the derived protein sequence for
PRO874.
[3559] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA40621-1440 is shown in
FIG. 24 (SEQ ID NO:35). Clone DNA40621-1440 contains a single open
reading frame ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions
964-966 (FIG. 24). The predicted polypeptide encoded by
DNA40621-1440 is 321 amino acids long (FIG. 25). The PRO874 protein
shown in FIG. 25 has an estimated molecular weight of about 36,194
daltons and a pI of about 9.85. Analysis of the PRO874 sequence
shown in FIG. 25 (SEQ ID NO:36) evidenced the presence of the
following: a type II transmembrane domain at about amino acids
57-80; additional transmembrane domains at about amino acids
110-126, 215-231, and 254-274; potential N-glycosylation sites at
about amino acids 16-19, 27-30, and 289-292; sequence identity with
hypothetical YBRO02c family proteins at about amino acids 276-287;
and sequence identity with ammonium transporter proteins at about
amino acids 204-230. Clone DNA40621-1440 was deposited with the
ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998, and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209922.
[3560] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the PRO874
polypeptide suggests that it is a novel multi-span transmembrane
protein. However, an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version
35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced sequence identity between the PRO874
amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: S67049,
AF054839.sub.--1, S73437, S52460, and HIVU80570.sub.--1.

[3561] A yeast screening assay was employed to identify cDNA clones
that encoded potential secreted proteins. Use of this yeast
screening assay allowed identification of a single cDNA clone whose
sequence (herein designated as DNA38190) is shown in FIG. 28 (SEQ
ID NO:42). Based on the DNA38190 sequence shown in FIG. 28,
oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA
library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as
probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for
PRO710. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length
clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as
per Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, with
the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate
clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe
oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.

[3564] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive

using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.
[3565] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from
human fetal kidney tissue (LIB227). The cDNA libraries used to
isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using
commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San
Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI

NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a
defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or
pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI

open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 67-69 and ending at the stop codon found at

predicted polypeptide precursor is 566 amino acids long, has a
calculated molecular weight of approximately 65,555 daltons and an
estimated pI of approximately 5.44. Analysis of the full-length
PRO710 sequence shown in FIG. 27 (SEQ ID NO:41) evidences the
presence of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1
to about amino acid 32, a transmembrane domain from about amino
acid 454 to about amino acid 476, an aminoacyl-transfer RNA
synthetase class-II signature sequence from about amino acid 6 to
about amino acid 26 and potential N-glycosylation sites from about
amino acid 111 to about amino acid 114, from about amino acid 146
to about amino acid 149 and from about amino acid 292 to about
amino acid 295. Clone DNA44161-1434 has been deposited with ATCC on
May 27, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209907.
[3567] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO710 polypeptide suggests that it possesses significant sequence
similarity to the CDC45 protein, thereby indicating that PRO710 may
be a novel CDC45 homolog. More specifically, an analysis of the
Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced significant
homology between the PRO710 amino acid sequence and the following
Dayhoff sequences, HSAJ3728.sub.--1, CEF34D10.sub.--1, S64939,

Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO698
[3595] A yeast screening assay was employed to identify cDNA clones
that encoded potential secreted proteins. Use of this yeast
screening assay allowed identification of a single cDNA clone whose
sequence (herein designated as DNA39906) is shown in FIG. 39 (SEQ
ID NO:68). Based on the DNA39906 sequence shown in FIG. 39,
oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA
library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as
probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for
PRO698. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length
clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as
per Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, with
the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate
clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe
oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.
[3596] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:
28 forward PCR primer 5'-AGCTGTGGTCATGGTGGTGTGGTG-3' (SEQ ID NO:69)
reverse PCR primer 5'-CTACCTTGGCCATAGGTGATCCGC-3' (SEQ ID
NO:70)
[3597] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the consensus DNA39906 sequence which
had the following nucleotide sequence
29 hybridization probe 5'-CATCAGCAAACCGTCTGTGGTTCAGCTCAACT-
GGAGAGGGTT-3' (SEQ ID NO:71)
[3598] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO698 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for
construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human bone
marrow tissue (LIB255). The CDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA
clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially
available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif.
The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked
with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized
appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined
orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD;
pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site;
see, Holmes et al., Science, 253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique
XhoI and NotI sites.
[3599] A full length clone was identified that contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 14-16 and ending at the stop codon found at
nucleotide positions 1544-1546 (FIG. 37, SEQ ID NO:66). The
predicted polypeptide precursor is 510 amino acids long, has a
calculated molecular weight of approximately 57,280 daltons and an
estimated pI of approximately 5.61. Analysis of the full-length
PRO698 sequence shown in FIG. 38 (SEQ ID NO:67) evidences the
presence of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1
to about amino acid 20, potential N-glycosylation sites from about
amino acid 72 to about amino acid 75, from about amino acid 136 to
about amino acid 139, from about amino acid 193 to about amino acid
196, from about amino acid 253 to about amino acid 256, from about
amino acid 352 to about amino acid 355 and from about amino acid
411 to about amino acid 414 an amino acid block having homology to
legume lectin beta-chain proteins from about amino acid 20 to about
amino acid 39 and an amino acid block having homology to the
HBGF/FGF family of proteins from about amino acid 338 to about
amino acid 365. Clone DNA48320-1433 has been deposited with ATCC on
May 27, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209904.
[3600] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO698 polypeptide suggests that it possesses significant sequence
similarity to the olfactomedin protein, thereby indicating that
PRO698 may be a novel olfactomedin homolog. More specifically, an
analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35)
evidenced significant homology between the PRO698 amino acid
sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences, OLFM_RANCA, I73637,

Example 20
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO732
[3601] A yeast screening assay was employed to identify cDNA clones
that encoded potential secreted proteins. Use of this yeast
screening assay allowed identification of a single cDNA clone whose
sequence (herein designated as DNA42580) is shown in FIG. 45 (SEQ
ID NO:77). The DNA42580 sequence was then compared to a variety of
known EST sequences to identify homologies. The EST databases
employed included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a
proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals,
Palo Alto, Calif.). The search was performed using the computer
program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods in Enzvmology
266:460480 (1996)) as a comparison to a 6 frame translation of the
EST sequence. Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70
(or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins
were clustered and assembled into consensus DNA sequences with the
program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle,
Wash.).
[3602] Using the above analysis, a consensus DNA sequence was
assembled relative to other EST sequences using phrap. This
consensus sequence is herein designated consenOl. Proprietary
Genentech EST sequences were employed in the consensus assembly and
they are herein designated DNA20239 (FIG. 42; SEQ ID NO:74),
DNA38050 (FIG. 43; SEQ ID NO:75) and DNA40683 (FIG. 44; SEQ ID
NO:76).
[3603] Based on the consen01 sequence, oligonucleotides were
synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained
the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a
clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO732. Forward and
reverse PCR primers generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and
are often designed to give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in
length. The probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In
some cases, additional oligonucleotides are synthesized when the
consensus sequence is greater than about 1-1.5 kbp. In order to
screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the
libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,
Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, with the PCR primer pair. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene
of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer
pairs.

PCR primer 5'-AATCCATTGTGCACTGCAGCTCTAGG-3- ' (SEQ ID NO:80)
reverse PCR primer 5'-GAGCATGCCACCACTGGACTGAC-3' (SEQ ID NO:81)
[3605] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the consensus DNA44143 sequence which
had the following nucleotide sequence
31 hybridization probe 5'-GCCGATGCTGTCCTAGTGGAAACAACTCCACT-
GTAACTAGATTGATCTATGCAC-3' (SEQ ID NO:82)
[3606] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pairs identified above. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the
PRO732 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR
primers.
[3607] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from
human fetal lung tissue (LIB26). The cDNA libraries used to isolate
the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using
commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San
Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI
site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with
NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a
defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or
pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI
site; see, Holmes et al., Science, 253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the
unique XhoI and NotI sites.
[3608] A full length clone was identified that contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 88-90 and ending at the stop codon found at
nucleotide positions 1447-1449 (FIG. 40, SEQ ID NO:72). The
predicted polypeptide precursor is 453 amino acids long, has a
calculated molecular weight of approximately 50,419 daltons and an
estimated pI of approximately 5.78. Analysis of the full-length
PRO732 sequence shown in FIG. 41 (SEQ ID NO:73) evidences the
presence of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1
to about amino acid 28, transmembrane domains from about amino acid
37 to about amino acid 57, from about amino acid 93 to about amino
acid 109, from about amino acid 126 to about amino acid 148, from

the MIP family of proteins from about amino acid 119 to about amino
acid 149 and an amino acid block having homology to DNAIRNA
non-specific endonuclease proteins from about amino acid 279 to

ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209924.
[3609] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO732 polypeptide suggests that it possesses significant sequence
similarity to the Dif33 protein, thereby indicating that PRO732 may
be a novel Diff33 homolog. More specifically, an analysis of the

[3610] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST
sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This
consensus sequence is designated herein consenO352. The consenO352
sequence was then extended using repeated cycles of BLAST and phrap
to extend the consensus sequence as far as possible using the
sources of EST sequences discussed above. The extended consensus

consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to
identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of

[3612] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the DNA34365 consensus sequence which
had the following nucleotide sequence:
33 hybridization probe: 5'-CTCAAGCTGCTGGACACGGAGCGGCCGGTGA-
ATCGGTTTCACTTG-3' (SEQ ID NO:93).
[3613] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pairs identified above. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the
PRO1120 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR
primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated
from human fetal kidney tissue.
[3614] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1120 (designated herein as
DNA48606-1479 [FIG. 46, SEQ ID NO:83]; and the derived protein
sequence for PRO1120.
[3615] The entire coding sequence of PRO1120 is shown in FIG. 46
(SEQ ID NO:83). Clone DNA48606-1479 contains a single open reading

[3633] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO718 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.
[3634] A full length clone was identified that contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 36-38 and ending at the stop codon found at
nucleotide positions 607-609 (FIG. 56; SEQ ID NO: 102). The
predicted polypeptide precursor is 157 amino acids long, has a
calculated molecular weight of approximately 17,400 daltons and an
estimated pI of approximately 5.78. Analysis of the full-length
PRO718 sequence shown in FIG. 57 (SEQ ID NO: 103) evidences the
presence of the following: a type II transmembrane domain from
about amino acid 21 to about amino acid 40, and other transmembrane

amino acid 147; a cell attachment sequence from about amino acid 79
to about amino acid 81; and a potential N-glycosylation site from
about amino acid 53 to about amino acid 56. Clone DNA49647-1398 has
been deposited with ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998 and is assigned ATCC
deposit no. 209919.
[3635] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO718 polypeptide suggests that it possesses no significant
sequence similarity to any known protein. However, an analysis of
the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced some
degree of homology between the PRO718 amino acid sequence and the
following Dayhoff sequences: AF045606.sub.--1, AF039906.sub.--1,

Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO872
[3636] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3
above allowed identification of a single Incyte EST sequence
designated herein as clul20709.init. The clu120709.init sequence
was then compared a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ.RTM.,
Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing
homologies. The homology search was performed using the computer
program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods in Enzymology
266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score
of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known
proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence
with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of Washington,
Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained therefrom is
herein designated DNA48254.
[3637] In light of an observed sequence homology between the
DNA48254 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed

was purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It
was found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The
sequence of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 63 and is the
full-length DNA sequence for PRO872. Clone DNA49819-1439 was
deposited with the ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998, and is assigned ATCC

PRO872 polypeptide using the Dayhoff database (version 35.45
SwissProt 35) evidenced homology between the PRO872 amino acid
sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: PRCRTI.sub.--1,

Example 32
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO784
[3669] An initial DNA sequence (SEQ ID NO: 136), referred to herein
as DNA44661 and shown in FIG. 77, was identified using a yeast
screen, in a human fetal lung cDNA library that preferentially
represents the 5' ends of the primary cDNA clones. DNA44661 was
then compared to ESTs from public databases (e.g., GenBank), and a
proprietary EST database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals,
Palo Alto, Calif.), using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2
[Altschul et al., Methods in Enzymology, 266:460-480 (1996)]. The
ESTs were then clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA
sequence using the computer program "phrap" (Phil Green, University
of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained is
designated herein as "DNA45463". Based on the DNA45463 consensus
sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized for use as probes to
isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO784 from
a human fetal lung cDNA library.
[3670] The full length DNA53978-1443 clone shown in FIG. 75
contained a single open reading frame with an apparent
translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 37-39 and
ending at the stop codon found at nucleotide positions 821-823
(FIG. 75; SEQ ID NO:134). The predicted polypeptide precursor (FIG.
76, SEQ ID NO: 135) is 228 amino acids long. PRO784 has a
calculated molecular weight of approximately 25,735 Daltons and an
estimated pI of approximately 5.45. PRO784 has the following

CELF55A4.sub.--6, SC22_YEAST, and F48188.
Example 33
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO783
[3673] A yeast screening assay was employed to identify cDNA clones
that encoded potential secreted proteins. Use of this yeast
screening assay allowed identification of a single cDNA clone,
designated herein as DNA45201 (FIG. 80; SEQ ID NO:139).
[3674] The DNA45201 sequence was then used to search expressed
sequence tag (EST) databases for the presence of potential
homologies. The EST databases included public EST databases (e.g.,
GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte
Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.). The search was performed using
the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods in
Enzymology 266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a
BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not
encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus
DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, Univ. of
Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained is
herein designated as "consen01". A proprietary Genentech EST
sequence was used in the consensus assembly and is herein
designated as DNA14575 (FIG. 81; SEQ ID NO: 140).
[3675] Based (n the consen01 sequence, oligonucleotides were
synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained
the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a
clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO783. In order to
screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the
libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,
Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, with the PCR primer pair. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene
of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer
pairs.
[3676] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:
42 forward PCR primer 5'-GACTGTATCTGAGCCCCAGACTGC-3' (SEQ ID
NO:141), forward PCR primer 5'-TCAGCAATGAGGTGCTGCTC-3' (SEQ ID
NO:142), and reverse PCR primer 5'-TGAGGAAGATGAGGGACAGGTTGG-3' (SEQ

[3677] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the consenOl sequence which had the
following nucleotide sequence:
43 hybridization probe 5'-TATGGAAGCACCTGACTACGAAGTGCTATCCG-
TGCGAGAACAGCTATTCC-3' (SEQ ID NO:144).
[3678] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with a PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO783 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.
[3679] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from
human fetal kidney tissue (LIB228). The cDNA libraries used to
isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using
commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San
Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI
site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with

Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO937
[3709] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST
sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. That
consensus sequence is herein designated DNA49651. Based on the
DNA49651 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1)
to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO937.
[3710] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:
44 forward PCR primer 5'-CTCCGTGGTAAACCCCACAGCCC-3' (SEQ ID
NO:161); and reverse PCR primer 5'-TCACATCGATGGGATCCATGA- CCG-3'
(SEQ ID NO:162).
[3711] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the DNA48651 sequence which had the
following nucleotide sequence:
45 hybridization probe 5'-GGTCTCGTGACTGTGAAGCCATGTTACAACTA-
CTGCTCAAACATCATGAG-3' (SEQ ID NO:163).
[3712] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive

[3749] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST
sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This
consensus sequence is herein designated DNA52767. Based on the
DNA52767 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1)
to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the

amplification with PCR primer pairs prepared based upon the
DNA52767 sequence. A positive library was then used to isolate
clones encoding the PRO1135 gene using the probe oligonucleotide
and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA
libraries was isolated from human coronary artery smooth muscle
tissue (LIB309). The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones
were constructed by standard methods using commercially available
reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA
was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt
to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized
appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined
orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or PRKD;
pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site;
see, Holmes et al., Science 253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique

had the following nucleotide sequence:
48 hybridization probe 5'-CAACATCCGGGGCAAACTGGTGTCGCTGGAGA-
AGTACCGCGGATCGGTGT-3' (SEQ ID NO:192)

Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1003
[3858] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3
above allowed identification of a single Incyte EST cluster
sequence designated herein as 43055. This sequence was then
compared to a variety of EST databases which included public EST
databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database
(LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to
identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed
using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods
in Enzymology 266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a
BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not
encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus
DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of
Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained
therefrom is herein designated consent.
[3859] In light of an observed sequence homology between the
consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within the

[3865] The extracellular domain (ECD) sequences (including the
secretion signal, if any) of from about 950 known secreted proteins

comparison of the ECD protein sequences to a 6 frame translation of
the EST sequence. Using this procedure, Incyte EST No. 3459449,
also referred to herein as "DNA7108", was identified as an EST

[3895] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO1129 polypeptide suggests that it possesses sequence similarity
to the cytochrome P-450 family of proteins. More specifically, an
analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35)
evidenced some degree of homology between the PRO1129 amino acid
sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences, AC004523.sub.--1,
S45702, AF054821.sub.--1 and I53015.

Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1068
[3896] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3
above allowed identification of an EST cluster sequence from the
LIFESEQ.RTM. database, designated Incyte cluster no. 141736. This
EST cluster sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed
sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST databases
(e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ.RTM.,
Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing
homologies. One or more of the ESTs was derived from a human mast
cell line from a patient with mast cell leukemia. The homology
search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2
(Altshul et al., Methods in Enzymology 266:460-480 (1996)). Those
comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90)
or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and
assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program "phrap"
(Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The
consensus sequence obtained therefrom is herein designated
DNA56094.
[3897] In light of an observed sequence homology between the
DNA56094 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within
the Incyte EST clone no. 004974, the Incyte EST clone 004974 was
purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was
found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence
of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 183 and is herein designated
as DNA59214-1449 (SEQ ID NO:265).
[3898] The full length clone shown in FIG. 183 contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 42-44 and ending at the stop codon found at
nucleotide positions 414-416 (FIG. 183; SEQ ID NO:265). The
predicted polypeptide precursor (FIG. 184, SEQ ID NO:266) is 124
amino acids long. PRO1068 has a calculated molecular weight of
approximately 14,284 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately
8.14. The PRO1068 polypeptide has the following additional
features: a signal peptide sequence at about amino acids 1-20, a
urotensin II signature sequence at about amino acids 118-123, a
cell attachment sequence at about amino acids 64-66, and a
potential cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation
site at about amino acids 112-115.
[3899] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 184 (SEQ ID NO:266), revealed
homology between the PRO1068 amino acid sequence and the following
Dayhoff sequences: HALBOP.sub.--1, MTV043.sub.--36, 150498, and
P_R78445.
[3900] Clone DNA59214-1449 was deposited with the ATCC on July 1,
1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no.203046.
Example 81
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1066
[3901] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3
above allowed identification of a single Incyte EST cluster
sequence designated herein as 79066. The Incyte EST cluster
sequence no. 79066 sequence was then compared to a variety of
expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST
databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database
(LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to
identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed
using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods
in Enzymology 266:460480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a
BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not
encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus
DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of
Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained
therefrom is herein designated DNA56121.
[3902] In light of an observed sequence homology between the
DNA56121 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within
the Incyte EST clone no. 1515315, the Incyte EST clone 1515315 was
purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was
found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence
of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 185 and is herein designated
DNA59215-1425.
[3903] The full length clone shown in FIG. 185 contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 176-178 and ending at the stop codon found
at nucleotide positions 527-529 (FIG. 185; SEQ ID NO:267). The
predicted polypeptide precursor is 117 amino acids long, has a
calculated molecular weight of approximately 12,911 daltons and an
estimated pI of approximately 5.46. Analysis of the full-length
PRO1066 sequence shown in FIG. 186 (SEQ ID NO:268) evidences the
presence of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1
to about amino acid 23, a cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinase
phosphorylation site from about amino acid 38 to about amino acid
41 and potential N-myristoylation sites from about amino acid 5 to
about amino acid 10, from about amino acid 63 to about amino acid
68 and from about amino acid 83 to about amino acid 88. Clone
UNQ524 (DNA59215-1425) has been deposited with the ATCC on Jun. 9,
1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209961.
[3904] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO1066 polypeptide suggests that it does not possess significant
sequence similarity to any known human protein. However, an
analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35)
evidenced some degree of homology between the PRO1066 amino acid
sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences, MOTI_HUMAN,
AF025667.sub.--1, MTCY19H9.sub.--8 and RABIGKCH.sub.--1.

the Incyte EST clone no. 1428374, the Incyte EST clone 1428374 was
purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was
found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence
of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 187.
[3907] The full length clone shown in FIG. 187 contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 106-108 and ending at the stop codon found
at nucleotide positions 532-534 (FIG. 187; SEQ ID NO:269). The
predicted polypeptide precursor is 142 amino acids long, has a
calculated molecular weight of approximately 15,690 daltons and an
estimated pI of approximately 9.64. Analysis of the full-length
PRO1184 sequence shown in FIG. 188 (SEQ ID NO:270) evidences the
presence of a signal peptide at about amino acids 1-38. Clone

It is understood that the deposited clone has the actual nucleic
acid sequence and that the sequences provided herein are based on
known sequencing techniques.
[3936] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO1107 polypeptide suggests that it possesses significant sequence
similarity to phosphodiesterase I/nucleotide phyrophosphatase,
human insulin receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, alkaline
phosphodiesterase and autotaxin, thereby indicating that PRO1107
may have at least one or all of the activities of these proteins,
and that PRO1107 is a novel phosphodiesterase. More specifically,
an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35)
evidenced sequence identity between the PRO1107 amino acid sequence
and at least the following Dayhoff sequences: AF005632.sub.--1,

included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST
DNA database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto,
Calif.) to identify existing homologies. The homology search was
performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et
al., Methods in Enzymology 266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons
resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater
that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled
into a consensus DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green,
Univ. of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence
obtained therefrom is herein designated DNA56416.
[3938] In light of an observed sequence homology between DNA56416
and an EST sequence contained within Incyte EST clone no. 3345705,
Incyte EST clone no. 3345705 was obtained and its insert sequenced.
It was found that the insert encoded a full-length protein The
sequence, designated herein as DNA59607-1497, which is shown in
FIG. 203, is the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1140. Clone
DNA59607-1497 was deposited with the ATCC on Jun. 9, 1998, and is
assigned ATCC deposit no. 209946.
[3939] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA59607-1497 is shown in
FIG. 203 (SEQ ID NO:286). Clone DNA59607-1497 contains a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 210-212 and ending at the stop codon at
nucleotide positions 975-977 (FIG. 203). The predicted polypeptide
precursor is 255 amino acids long (FIG. 204). The full-length
PRO1140 protein shown in FIG. 204 has an estimated molecular weight
of about 29,405 daltons and a pI of about 7.64. Analysis of the
full-length PRO1140 sequence shown in FIG. 204 (SEQ ID NO:287)
evidences the presence of three transmembrane domains at about
amino acids 101 to 118, 141 to 161 and 172 to 191.
[3940] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO1140 polypeptide using the Dayhoff database (version 35.45
SwissProt 35) evidenced homology between the PRO1140 amino acid
sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: AF023602.sub.--1,
AF000368.sub.--1, CIN3_RAT, AF003373.sub.--1, GEN13279, and

[3942] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3
above allowed identification of a single Incyte EST sequence. This
sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed sequence tag
(EST) databases which included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank)
and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte
Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing
homologies. The homology search was performed using the computer
program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods in Enzymology
266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score
of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known
proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence
with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, Univ. of Washington, Seattle,
Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained therefrom is herein
designated DNA56423.
[3943] In light of an observed sequence homology between DNA56423
and an EST sequence contained within Incyte EST clone no. 1711247,
Incyte EST clone no. 1711247 was obtained and its insert sequenced.
It was found that the insert encoded a full-length protein The
sequence, designated herein as DNA59609-1470, which is shown in
FIG. 205, is the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1106. Clone
DNA59609-1470 was deposited with the ATCC on Jun. 9, 1998, and is
assigned ATCC deposit no. 209963.
[3944] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA59609-1470 is shown in

nucleotide positions 1468-1470 of SEQ ID NO:288 (FIG. 205). The
predicted polypeptide precursor is 469 amino acids long (FIG. 206).
The full-length PRO1106 protein shown in FIG. 206 has an estimated
molecular weight of about 52,689 daltons and a pI of about 8.68. It
is understood that the skilled artisan can construct the
polypeptide or nucleic acid encoding therefor to exclude any one or
more of all of these domains. For example, the transmembrane domain
region(s) and/or either of the amino terminal or carboxyl end canbe
excluded. Clone DNA59609-1470 has been deposited with ATCC on Jun.
9, 1998. It is understood that the deposited clone has the actual
nucleic acid sequence and that the sequences provided herein are
based on known sequencing techniques.
[3945] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO1106 polypeptide suggests that it possesses significant sequence
similarity to the peroxisomal ca-dependent solute carrier, thereby
indicating that PRO1106 may be a novel transporter. More
specifically, an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45
SwissProt 35) evidenced sequence identity between the PRO1106 amino
acid sequence and at least the following Dayhoff sequences,
AF004161.sub.--1, IG002N01.sub.--25, GDC_BOVIN and BT1_MAIZE.

[3949] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the

[3975] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the

significant homology between the PRO1141 amino acid sequence and

Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1132
[3976] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST
sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This
consensus sequence is designated herein as DNA35934. Based on the
DNA35934 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1)
to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO1132.
[3977] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:
57 forward PCR primer: 5'-TCCTGTGACCACCCCTCTAACACC-3' (SEQ ID
NO:310) and reverse PCR primer: 5'-CTGGAACATCTGCTGCCCAGA- TTC-3'
(SEQ ID NO:311).
[3978] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the consensus sequence which had the
following nucleotide sequence:
58 5'-GTCGGATGACAGCAGCAGCCGCATCATCAATGGATCCGACTGCGATATGC-3' (SEQ ID
NO:312).
[3979] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1132 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for
construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal
kidney.
[3980] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above

Example 100
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human NL7 (PRO1346)
[3983] A single EST sequence (#1398422) was found in the
LIFESEQ.RTM. database as described in Example 1 above. This EST
sequence was renamed as DNA45668. Based on the DNA45668 sequence,
oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA
library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use gas
probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for
NL7.
[3984] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:
59 forward PCR primer: 5'-CACACGTCCAACCTCAATGGGCAG-3' (SEQ ID
NO:315) reverse PCR primer: 5'-GACCAGCAGGGCCAAGGACAAGG-3- ' (SEQ ID
NO:316)
[3985] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the consensus DNA45668 sequence which
had the following nucleotide sequence:
60 hybridization probe: 5'-GTTCTCTGAGATGAAGATCCGGCCGGTCCGG-
GAGTACCGCTTAG-3' (SEQ ID NO:317)
[3986] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the NL7 gene using
the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for
construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from a human fetal
kidney library (LIB227).
[3987] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for NL7 (designated herein as
DNA59776-1600 [FIG. 227, SEQ ID NO:313]) and the derived protein
sequence for NL7 (PRO1346).
[3988] The entire coding sequence of NL7 (PRO1346) is shown in FIG.
227 (SEQ ID NO:313). Clone DNA59776-1600 contains a single open
reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at
nucleotide positions 1-3 and an apparent stop codon at nucleotide
positions 1384-1386. The predicted polypeptide precursor is 461
amino acids long. The protein contains an apparent type II
transmembrane domain at amino acid positions from about 31 to about
50; fibrinogen beta and gamma chains C-terminal domain signature
starting at about amino acid position 409, and a leucine zipper
pattern starting at about amino acid positions 140, 147, 154 and
161, respectively. Clone DNA59776-1600 has been deposited with ATCC
and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 203128. The full-length NL7
protein shown in FIG. 228 has an estimated molecular weight of
about 50,744 daltons and a pI of about 6.38.
[3989] Based on a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis (using the
WU-BLAST2 computer program) of the full-length sequence, NL7 shows
significant amino acid sequence identity to a human
microfibril-associated glycoprotein (1 MFA4_HUMAN); to known TIE-2
ligands and ligand homologues, ficolin, serum lectin and TGF-1
binding protein.

[3990] A cDNA sequence isolated in the amnylase screen described in
Example 2 above is herein designated DNA43546 (see FIG. 231; SEQ ID

expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST
databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database
(LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to
identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed
using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods
in Enzymology 266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a
BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not
encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into consensus
DNA sequences with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of
Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained
therefrom is herein designated DNA45627.
[3991] Based on the DNA45627 sequence, oligonucleotide probes were
generated and used to screen a human library prepared as described
in paragraph 1 of Example 2 above. The cloning vector was pRK5B
(pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site;
see, Holmes et al., Science 253:1278-1280 (1991)), and the cDNA
size cut was less than 2800 bp.

open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 144-146, and a stop signal at nucleotide
positions 984-986 (FIG. 229; SEQ ID NO:318). The predicted
polypeptide precursor is 280 amino acids long, has a calculated
molecular weight of approximately 31,966 daltons and an estimated
pI of approximately 6.26. The transmembrane domain sequence is at
about 49-74 of SEQ ID NO:319 and the region having sequence
identity with LDL receptors is about 50-265 of SEQ ID NO:319.
PRO1131 contains potential N-linked glycosylation sites at amino
acid positions 95-98 and 169-172 of SEQ ID NO:319. Clone
DNA59777-1480 has been deposited with the ATCC and is assigned ATCC
deposit no. 203111.
[3996] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 230 (SEQ ID NO:319), evidenced
some sequence identity between the PRO1131 amino acid sequence and
the following Dayhoff sequences: ABO107.sub.--1, I149053, I49115,

DNA35720 sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to
identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO1281.
[3998] PCR primers (froward and reverse) were synthesized:
63 forward PCR primers: 5'-TGGAAGGCTGCCGCAACGACAATC-3' (SEQ ID

following nucleotide sequence:
64 hybridization probe: 5'TGCACTGGTGACCACGAGGGGGTGCACTATAG-
CCATCTGGAGCTGAG-3' (SEQ ID NO:332).
[4000] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pairs identified above. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the
PRO1281 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR
primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated
human fetal liver.
[4001] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1281 (designated herein as
DNA59820-1549 [FIG. 232, SEQ ID NO:325]; and the derived protein
sequence for PRO1281.
[4002] The entire coding sequence of PRO1281 is shown in FIG. 232
(SEQ ID NO:325). Clone DNA59820-1549 contains a single open reading

[4005] A cDNA sequence isolated in the amylase screen described in
Example 2 above was found, by the WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment
computer program, to have no significant sequence identity to any
known human protein. This cDNA sequence is herein designated
DNA45288. The DNA45288 sequence was then compared to various EST
databases including public EST databases (e.g., GenBank), and a
proprietary EST database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals,
Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify homologous EST sequences. The
comparison was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2
[Altschul et al., Methods in Enzymology, 266:460-480 (1996)]. Those
comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases, 90)
or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and
assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program "phrap"
(Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). This
consensus sequence is herein designated DNA48609. Oligonucleotide
primers based upon the DNA48609 sequence were then synthesized and
employed to screen a human fetal kidney cDNA library which resulted
in the identification of the DNA59827-1426 clone shown in FIG. 234.
The cloning vector was pRK5B (pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that
does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al., Science,
253:1278-1280 (1991)), and the cDNA size cut was less than 2800
bp.
[4006] The oligonucleotide probes employed were as follows:

polypeptide precursor is 153 amino acids long, has a calculated
molecular weight of approximately 17,317 daltons and an estimated

amino acid 24, a transmembrane domain from about amino acid 89 to
about amino acid 110, an indole-3-glycerol phosphate synthase
homology block from about amino acid 74 to about amino acid 105 and
a Myb DNA binding domain protein repeat protein homology block from
about amino acid 114 to about amino acid 137. Clone DNA59827-1426

DNA45232 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1)
to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO1379.
[4011] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:

[4013] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1379 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for
construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated human fetal kidney
tissue.
[4014] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1379 which is designated
herein as DNA59828-1608 and shown in FIG. 237 (SEQ ID NO:339); and
the derived protein sequence for PRO1379 (SEQ ID NO:340).
[4015] The entire coding sequence of PRO1379 is shown in FIG. 237
(SEQ ID NO:339). Clone DNA59828-1608 contains a single open reading
frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide
positions 10-12 and an apparent stop codon at nucleotide positions
1732-1734. The predicted polypeptide precursor is 574 amino acids
long. The full-length PRO1379 protein shown in FIG. 238 has an

[4016] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 238 (SEQ ID NO:340), revealed

Example 105
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO844
[4018] An expressed sequence tag (EST) DNA database (LIFESEQ.RTM.,
Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) was searched and an EST
was identified which showed sequence identity with aLP. Based on
the information and discoveries provided herein, the clone for this
EST, Incyte clone no. 2657496 from a cancerous lung library was
further examined.
[4019] DNA sequencing of the insert for this clone gave a sequence
(herein designated as DNA59838-1462; SEQ ID NO:344) which includes
the full-length DNA sequence for PRO844 and the derived protein
sequence for PRO844.
[4020] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA59838-1462 is shown in
FIG. 239 (SEQ ID NO:344). Clone DNA59838-1462 contains a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 5-7 and ending at the stop codon at
nucleotide positions 338-340 of SEQ ID NO:344 (FIG. 239). The
predicted polypeptide precursor is 111 amino acids long (FIG. 240).
The full-length PRO844 protein shown in FIG. 240 has an estimated
molecular weight of about 12,050 daltons and a pI of about 5.45.
Clone UNQ544 DNA59838-1462 has been deposited with ATCC on Jun. 16,
1998. It is understood that the deposited clone has the actual
nucleic acid sequence and that the sequences provided herein are
based on known sequencing techniques.
[4021] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO844 polypeptide suggests that it possesses significant sequence
similarity to serine protease inhibitors, thereby indicating that
PRO844 may be a novel proteinase inhibitor. More specifically, an
analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35)
evidenced significant homology between the PRO844 amino acid
sequence and at least the following Dayhoff sequences, ALKI_HUMAN,

to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed

encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus
DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of
Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained

between the PRO848 amino acid sequence and at least the following
Dayhoff sequences, P_R78619 (GalNAc-alpha-2, 6-sialyltransferase),
CAAG5_CHICK (alpha-n-acetylgalactosamide alpha-2,
6-sialytransferase), HSU14550.sub.--1, CAG6_HUMAN and P_R63217

[4034] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3
above allowed identification of a single EST cluster sequence from
the Incyte database. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to
a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included
public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA
database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.)
to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed
using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods
in Enzymology 266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a
BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not
encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus
DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of
Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained
therefrom is herein designated DNA56025.
[4035] In light of an observed sequence homology between the
DNA56025 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within
the Incyte EST clone no. 2169375, the Incyte EST clone 2169375 was
purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was
found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence
of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 247 and is herein designated
as DNA59846-1503.
[4036] The full length clone shown in FIG. 247 contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 86-88 and ending at the stop codon found at
nucleotide positions 2909-2911 (FIG. 247; SEQ ID NO:352). The
predicted polypeptide precursor (FIG. 248, SEQ ID NO:353) is 941

Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1198
[4075] An initial DNA sequence referred to herein as DNA52083 was
identified using a yeast screen in a human umbilical vein
endothelial cell cDNA library that preferentially represents the 5'
ends of the primary cDNA clones. DNA52083 was compared to ESTs from
public databases (e.g., GenBank), and a proprietary EST database
(LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.), using
the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et al., Methods in
Enzymology, 266:460-480 (1996)]. The ESTs were clustered and
assembled into a consensus DNA sequence using the computer program
"phrap" (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). One
or more of the ESTs was obtained from human breast skin tissue
biopsy. This consensus sequence is designated herein as
DNA52780.
[4076] In light of an observed sequence homology between the
DNA52780 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within
the Incyte EST clone no. 3852910, the Incyte EST clone 3852910 was
purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was
found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence
of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 267 and is herein designated
as DNA60622-1525.
[4077] The full length DNA60622-1525 clone shown in FIG. 267 (SEQ
ID NO:372) contained a single open reading frame with an apparent
translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 54 to 56 and
ending at the stop codon found at nucleotide positions 741 to 743.
The predicted polypeptide precursor, which is shown in FIG. 268
(SEQ ID NO:373), is 229 amino acids long. PRO1198 has a calculated
molecular weight of approximately 25,764 daltons and an estimated
pI of approximately 9.17. There is a signal peptide sequence at
about amino acids 1 through 34. There is sequence identity with
glycosyl hydrolases family 31 protein at about amino acids 142 to
about 175.
[4078] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the

[4081] In light of an observed sequence homology between the

[4089] In light of an observed sequence homology between the

of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 273 and is herein designated

at nucleotide positions 25-27 and ending at the stop codon found at
nucleotide positions 2782-2784 (FIG. 273; SEQ ID NO:378). The

Example 123
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1287
[4092] An expressed sequence tag (EST) DNA database (LIFESEQ.RTM.,
Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) was searched and an EST
was identified which showed homology to the fringe protein. This
EST sequence was then compared to various EST databases including
public EST databases (e.g., GenBank), and a proprietary EST
database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.)
to identify homologous EST sequences. The comparison was performed
using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et al.,
Methods in Enzymology, 266:460-480 (1996)]. Those comparisons
resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases, 90) or greater
that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled
into a consensus DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green,
University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). This consensus sequence
obtained is herein designated DNA40568.
[4093] Based on the DNA40568 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides
were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that
contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to
isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO1287.
Forward and reverse PCR primers generally range from 20 to 30
nucleotides and are often designed to give a PCR product of about
100-1000 bp in length. The probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp
in length. In some cases, additional oligonucleotides are
synthesized when the consensus sequence is greater than about
1-1.Skbp. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length
clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as
per Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, supra,
with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to
isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe
oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.
[4094] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:
69 forward PCR primer 5'-CTCGGGGAAAGGGACTTGATGTTGG-3' (SEQ ID
NO:382) reverse PCR primer 1 5'-GCGAAGGTGAGCCTCTATCTCGTG- CC-3'
(SEQ ID NO:383) reverse PCR primer 2 5'-CAGCCTACACGTATTGAGG-3' (SEQ
ID NO:384)
[4095] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the consensus DNA40568 sequence which
had the following nucleotide sequence
70 hybridization probe 5'-CAGTCAGTACAATCCTGGCATAATATACGGCC-
ACCATGATGCAGTCCC-3' (SEQ ID NO:385).
[4096] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pairs identified above. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the
PRO1287 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR
primers.
[4097] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from
human bone marrow tissue. The cDNA libraries used to isolated the
cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially
available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif.
The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked
with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized
appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined
orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or PRKD;
pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site;
see, Holmes et al., Science, 253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique
XhoI and NotI sites.
[4098] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1287 (designated herein as
DNA61755-1554 [FIG. 275, SEQ ID NO:380]) and the derived protein
sequence for PRO1287.
[4099] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA61755-1554 is shown in
FIG. 275 (SEQ ID NO:380). The full length clone contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 655-657 and a stop signal at nucleotide
positions 2251-2253 (FIG. 275, SEQ ID NO:380). The predicted
polypeptide precursor is 532 amino acids long, has a calculated
molecular weight of approximately 61,351 daltons and an estimated
pI of approximately 8.77. Analysis of the full-length PRO1287
sequence shown in FIG. 276 (SEQ ID NO:381) evidences the presence
of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1 to about
amino acid 27 and potential N-glycosylation sites from about amino
acid 315 to about amino acid 318 and from about amino acid 324 to
about amino acid 327. Clone DNA61755-1554 has been deposited with
ATCC on August 11, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no.

had the following nucleotide sequence:

Example 127
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1187
[4120] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3
above allowed identification of a single EST cluster sequence from
the Incyte database. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to
a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included
public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA
database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.)
to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed
using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods
in Enzvmologv 266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a
BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not
encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus
DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of
Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained
therefrom is herein designated DNA57726.
[4121] In light of an observed sequence homology between the
DNA57726 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within
the Incyte EST clone no. 358563, the Incyte EST clone 358563 was
purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was
found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence
of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 283 and is herein designated
as DNA62876-1517.
[4122] The full length clone shown in FIG. 283 contained a single

predicted polypeptide precursor (FIG. 284, SEQ ID NO:399) is 120
amino acids long. The signal peptide is at about amino acids 1-17
of SEQ ID NO:399. PRO1187 has a calculated molecular weight of

[4124] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3
above allowed identification of a single EST cluster sequence from
the Incyte database. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to
a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included
public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA
database (LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.)
to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed
using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods
in Enzymology 266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a
BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not
encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus
DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of
Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained
therefrom is herein designated DNA56426.
[4125] In light of an observed sequence homology between the
DNA56426 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within
the Incyte EST clone no. 3284411, the Incyte EST clone 3284411 was
purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was
found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence
of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 285 and is herein designated
as DNA62881-1515.
[4126] The full length DNA62881-1515 clone shown in FIG. 285
contained a single open reading frame with an apparent
translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 4-6 and
ending at the stop codon found at nucleotide positions 598-600
(FIG. 285; SEQ ID NO:400). The predicted polypeptide precursor
(FIG. 286, SEQ ID NO:401) is 198 amino acids long. The signal
peptide is at about amino acids 1-21 of SEQ ID NO:401. PRO1185 has
a calculated molecular weight of approximately 22,105 daltons and
an estimated pI of approximately 7.73. Clone DNA62881-1515 has been

[4128] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST
sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This
consensus sequence is herein designated DNA47364. Based on the
DNA47364 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1)
to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO1345.
[4129] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:
75 forward PCR primer 5'-CCTGGTTATCCCCAGGAACTCCGAC-3' (SEQ ID
NO:404) reverse PCR primer 5'-CTCTTGCTGCTGCGACAGGCCTC-3' (SEQ ID
NO:405)

probe was constructed from the consensus DNA47364 sequence which
had the following nucleotide sequence

[4131] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1345 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for
construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human breast
carcinoma tissue.
[4132] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1345 (designated herein as

positions 1267-1269 (FIG. 303). The predicted polypeptide precursor
is 394 amino acids long (FIG. 304). The full-length PRO1387 protein
shown in FIG. 304 has an estimated molecular weight of about 44,339
daltons and a pI of about 7.10. Analysis of the full-length PRO1387
sequence shown in FIG. 304 (SEQ ID NO:422) evidences the presence
of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1 to about
amino acid 19, a transmembrane domain from about amino acid 275 to
about amino acid 296, potential N-glycosylation sites from about
amino acid 76 to about amino acid 79, from about amino acid 231 to
about amino acid 234, from about amino acid 302 to about amino acid
305, from about amino acid 307 to about amino acid 310 and from
about amino acid 376 to about amino acid 379, and amino acid
sequence blocks having homology to myelin pO protein from about
amino acid 210 to about amino acid 239 and from about amino acid 92
to about amino acid 121. Clone DNA68872-1620 has been deposited
with ATCC on August 25, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no.

[4168] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 304 (SEQ ID NO:422), evidenced
significant homology between the PRO1387 amino acid sequence and
the following Dayhoff sequences: P_W36955, MYPO_HETFR,

Example 138
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1384
[4169] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST
sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This
consensus sequence is herein designated DNA54192. Based on the
DNA54192 sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to
identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO1384.
[4170] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:
77 forward PCR primer 5'-TGCAGCCCCTGTGACACAAACTGG-3' (SEQ ID
NO:425) reverse PCR primer 5'-CTGAGATAACCGAGCCATCCTCCCAC-3' (SEQ ID
NO:426)
[4171] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the DNA54192 sequence which had the
following nucleotide sequence:
78 hybridization probe (SEQ ID NO:427)
5'-GGAGATAGCTGCTATGGGTTCTTCAGGCACAACTTAACATGGG AAG-3'
[4172] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1384 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for
construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal
liver.
[4173] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1384 (designated herein as
DNA71159-1617 [FIG. 305, SEQ ID NO:423]; and the derived protein
sequence for PRO1384.
[4174] The entire coding sequence of PRO1384 is shown in FIG. 305
(SEQ ID NO:423). Clone DNA71159-1617 contains a single open reading
frame with an apparent translational initiation site atnucleotide
positions 182-184 and an apparent stop codon at nucleotide
positions 869-871. The predicted polypeptide precursor is 229 amino
acids long. The full-length PRO1384 protein shown in FIG. 306 has
an estimated molecular weight of about 26,650 daltons and a pI of
about 8.76. Additional features include a type II transmembrane
domain at about amino acids 32-57, and potential N-glycosylation
sites at about amino acids 68-71, 120-123, and 134-137.
[4175] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 306 (SEQ ID NO:424), revealed
homology between the PRO1384 amino acid sequence and the following
Dayhoff sequences: AF054819.sub.--1, HSAJ1687.sub.--1,
AF009511.sub.--1, ABO10710.sub.--1, GEN13595, HSAJ673.sub.--1,
GEN13961, AB005900.sub.--1, LECH_CHICK, AF021349.sub.--1, and
NK13_RAT.
[4176] Clone DNA71159-1617 has been deposited with ATCC and is
assigned ATCC deposit no. 203135.
Example 139
Use of PRO as a Hybridization Probe
[4177] The following method describes use of a nucleotide sequence
encoding PRO as a hybridization probe.
[4178] DNA comprising the coding sequence of full-length or mature
PRO as disclosed herein is employed as a probe to screen for
homologous DNAs (such as those encoding naturally-occurring
variants of PRO) in human tissue cDNA libraries or human tissue
genomic libraries.
[4179] Hybridization and washing of filters containing either
library DNAs is performed under the following high stringency
conditions. Hybridization of radiolabeled PRO-derived probe to the
filters is performed in a solution of 50% formamide, 5.times. SSC,
0.1% SDS, 0.1% sodium pyrophosphate, 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH
6.8, 2.times. Denhardt's solution, and 10% dextran sulfate at
42.degree. C. for 20 hours. Washing of the filters is performed in
an aqueous solution of 0.1.times. SSC and 0.1% SDS at 42.degree.
C.
[4180] DNAs having a desired sequence identity with the DNA
encoding full-length native sequence PRO can then be identified
using standard techniques known in the art.
Example 140
Expression of PRO in E. coli
[4181] This example illustrates preparation of an unglycosylated
form of PRO by recombinant expression in E. coli.
[4182] The DNA sequence encoding PRO is initially amplified using
selected PCR primers. The primers should contain restriction enzyme
sites which correspond to the restriction enzyme sites on the
selected expression vector. A variety of expression vectors may be
employed. An example of a suitable vector is pBR322 (derived from
E. coli; see Bolivar et al., Gene, 2:95 (1977)) which contains
genes for ampicillin and tetracycline resistance. The vector is
digested with restriction enzyme and dephosphorylated. The PCR
amplified sequences are then ligated into the vector. The vector
will preferably include sequences which encode for an antibiotic
resistance gene, a trp promoter, a polyhis leader (including the
first six STII codons, polyhis sequence, and enterokinase cleavage
site), the PRO coding region, lambda transcriptional terminator,
and an argU gene.
[4183] The ligation mixture is then used to transform a selected E.
coli strain using the methods described in Sambrook et al., supra.
Transformants are identified by their ability to grow on LB plates
and antibiotic resistant colonies are then selected. Plasmid DNA
can be isolated and confirmed by restriction analysis and DNA
sequencing.
[4184] Selected clones can be grown overnight in liquid culture
medium such as LB broth supplemented with antibiotics. The
overnight culture may subsequently be used to inoculate a larger
scale culture. The cells are then grown to a desired optical
density, during which the expression promoter is turned on.
[4185] After culturing the cells for several more hours, the cells
can be harvested by centrifugation. The cell pellet obtained by the
centrifugation can be solubilized using various agents known in the
art, and the solubilized PRO protein can then be purified using a
metal chelating column under conditions that allow tight binding of
the protein.
[4186] PRO may be expressed in E. coli in a poly-His tagged form,
using the following procedure. The DNA encoding PRO is initially
amplified using selected PCR primers. The primers will contain
restriction enzyme sites which correspond to the restriction enzyme
sites on the selected expression vector, and other useful sequences
providing for efficient and reliable translation initiation, rapid
purification on a metal chelation column, and proteolytic removal
with enterokinase. The PCR-amplified, poly-His tagged sequences are
then ligated into an expression vector, which is used to transform
an E. coli host based on strain 52 (W3110 fuhA(tonA) Ion galE
rpoHts(htpRts) cIpP(lacIq). Transformants are first grown in LB
containing 50 mg/ml carbenicillin at 30.degree. C. with shaking
until an O.D.600 of 3-5 is reached. Cultures are then diluted
50-100 fold into CRAP media (prepared by mixing 3.57 g
(NH.sub.4).sub.2SO.sub.4, 0.71 g sodium citrate.multidot.2H2O, 1.07
g KCl, 5.36 g Difco yeast extract, 5.36 g Sheffield hycase SF in
500 niL water, as well as 110 mM MPOS, pH 7.3, 0.55% (w/v) glucose
and 7 mM MgSO.sub.4) and grown for approximately 20-30 hours at
30.degree. C. with shaking. Samples are removed to verify
expression by SDS-PAGE analysis, and the bulk culture is
centrifuged to pellet the cells. Cell pellets are frozen until
purification and refolding.
[4187] E. coli paste from 0.5 to 1 L fermentations (6-10 g pellets)
is resuspended in 10 volumes (w/v) in 7 M guanidine, 20 mM Tris, pH
8 buffer. Solid sodium sulfite and sodium tetrathionate is added to
make final concentrations of 0.1M and 0.02 M, respectively, and the
solution is stirred overnight at4.degree. C. This step results in a
denatured protein with all cysteine residues blocked by
sulfitolization. The solution is centrifuged at 40,000 rpm in a
Beckman Ultracentifuge for 30 min. The supernatant is diluted with
3-5 volumes of metal chelate column buffer (6 M guanidine, 20 mM
Tris, pH 7.4) and filtered through 0.22 micron filters to clarify.
The clarified extract is loaded onto a 5 ml Qiagen Ni-NTA metal
chelate column equilibrated in the metal chelate column buffer. The
column is washed with additional buffer containing 50 mM imidazole
(Calbiochem, Utrol grade), pH 7.4. The protein is eluted with
buffer containing 250 mM imidazole. Fractions containing the
desired protein are pooled and stored at 4.degree. C. Protein
concentration is estimated by its absorbance at 280 nm using the
calculated extinction coefficient based on its amino acid
sequence.
[4188] The proteins are refolded by diluting the sample slowly into
freshly prepared refolding buffer consisting of: 20 mM Tris, pH
8.6, 0.3 M NaCl, 2.5 M urea, 5 mM cysteine, 20 mM glycine and 1 mM
EDTA. Refolding volumes are chosen so that the final protein
concentration is between 50 to 100 micrograms/ml. The refolding
solution is stirred gently at 4.degree. C. for 12-36 hours. The
refolding reaction is quenched by the addition of TFA to a final
concentration of 0.4% (pH of approximately 3). Before further
purification of the protein, the solution is filtered through a
0.22 micron filter and acetonitrile is added to 2-10% final
concentration. The refolded protein is chromatographed ona Poros
RlIH reversedphase column using a mobile buffer of 0.1% TFA with
elution with a gradient of acetonitrile from 10 to 80%. Aliquots of
fractions with A280 absorbance are analyzed on SDS polyacrylamide
gels and fractions containing homogeneous refolded protein are
pooled. Generally, the properly refolded species of most proteins
are eluted at the lowest concentrations of acetonitrile since those
species are the most compact with their hydrophobic interiors
shielded from interaction with the reversed phase resin. Aggregated
species are usually eluted at higher acetonitrile concentrations.
In addition to resolving misfolded forms of proteins from the
desired form, the reversed phase step also removes endotoxin from
the samples.
[4189] Fractions containing the desired folded PRO polypeptide are
pooled and the acetonitrile removed using a gentle stream of
nitrogen directed at the solution. Proteins are formulated into 20
mM Hepes, pH 6.8 with 0.14 M sodium chloride and 4% mannitol by
dialysis or by gel filtration using G25 Superfme (Pharmacia) resins
equilibrated in the formulation buffer and sterile filtered.
[4190] Many of the PRO polypeptides disclosed herein were
successfully expressed as described above.
Example 141
Expression of PRO in Mammalian Cells
[4191] This example illustrates preparation of a potentially
glycosylated form of PRO by recombinant expression in mammalian
cells.
[4192] The vector, pRK5 (see EP 307,247, published Mar. 15, 1989),
is employed as the expression vector. Optionally, the PRO DNA is
ligated into pRK5 with selected restriction enzymes to allow
insertion of the PRO DNA using ligation methods such as described
in Sambrook et al., supra. The resulting vector is called
pRK5-PRO.
[4193] In one embodiment, the selected host cells may be 293 cells.
Human 293 cells (ATCC CCL 1573) are grown to confluence in tissue
culture plates in medium such as DMEM supplemented with fetal calf
serum and optionally, nutrient components and/or antibiotics. About
10 ,g pRK5-PRO DNA is mixed with about 1 .mu.g DNA encoding the VA
RNA gene [Thimmappaya et al., Cell, 31:543 (1982)] and dissolved in
500 .mu.l of 1 mM Tris-HCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.227 M CaCl.sub.2. To
this mixture is added, dropwise, 500 .mu.l of 50 mM HEPES (pH
7.35), 280 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM NaPO.sub.4, and a precipitate is allowed
to form for 10 minutes at 25.degree. C. The precipitate is
suspended and added to the 293 cells and allowed to settle for
about four hours at 37.degree. C. The culture medium is aspirated
off and 2 ml of 20% glycerol in PBS is added for 30 seconds. The
293 cells are then washed with serum free medium, fresh medium is
added and the cells are incubated for about 5 days.
[4194] Approximately 24 hours after the transfections, the culture
medium is removed and replaced with culture medium (alone) or
culture medium containing 200 .mu.Ci/ml .sup.35S-cysteine and 200
.mu.Ci/Ml .sup.35S-methionine. After a 12 hour incubation, the
conditioned medium is collected, concentrated on a spin filter, and
loaded onto a 15% SDS gel. The processed gel may be dried and
exposed to film for a selected period of time to reveal the
presence of PRO polypeptide. The cultures containing transfected
cells may undergo further incubation (in serum free medium) and the
medium is tested in selected bioassays.
[4195] In an alternative technique, PRO may be introduced into 293
cells transiently using the dextran sulfate method described by
Somparyrac et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 12:7575 (1981). 293
cells are grown to maximal density in a spinner flask and 700 .mu.g
pRK5-PRO DNA is added. The cells are first concentrated from the
spinner flask by centrifugation and washed with PBS. The
DNA-dextran precipitate is incubated on the cell pellet for four
hours. The cells are treated with 20% glycerol for 90 seconds,
washed with tissue culture medium, and re-introduced into the
spinner flask containing tissue culture medium, 5 .mu.g/ml bovine
insulin and 0.1 .mu.g/ml bovine transferrin. After about four days,
the conditioned media is centrifuged and filtered to remove cells
and debris. The sample containing expressed PRO can then be
concentrated and purified by any selected method, such as dialysis
and/or column chromatography.
[4196] In another embodiment, PRO can be expressed in CHO cells.
The pRK5-PRO can be transfected into CHO cells using known reagents
such as CaPO.sub.4 or DEAE-dextran. As described above, the cell
cultures can be incubated, and the medium replaced with culture
medium (alone) or medium containing a radiolabel such as
.sup.35S-methionine. After determining the presence of PRO
polypeptide, the culture medium may be replaced with serum free
medium. Preferably, the cultures are incubated for about 6 days,
and then the conditioned medium is harvested. The medium containing
the expressed PRO can then be concentrated and purified by any
selected method.
[4197] Epitope-tagged PRO may also be expressed in host CHO cells.
The PRO may be subcloned out of the pRK5 vector. The subclone
insert can undergo PCR to fuse in frame with a selected epitope tag
such as a poly-his tag into a Baculovirus expression vector. The
poly-his tagged PRO insert can then be subcloned into a SV40 driven
vector containing a selection marker such as DHFR for selection of
stable clones. Finally, the CHO cells can be transfected (as
described above) with the SV40 driven vector. Labeling may be
performed, as described above, to verify expression. The culture
medium containing the expressed poly-His tagged PRO can then be
concentrated and purified by any selected method, such as by
Ni.sup.2+-chelate affinity chromatography.
[4198] PRO may also be expressed in CHO and/or COS cells by a
transient expression procedure or in CHO cells by another stable
expression procedure.
[4199] Stable expression in CHO cells is performed using the
following procedure. The proteins are expressed as an IgG construct
(immunoadhesin), in which the coding sequences for the soluble
forms (e.g. extracellular domains) of the respective proteins are
fused to an IgGl constant region sequence containing the hinge, CH2
and CH2 domains and/or is a poly-His tagged form.
[4200] Following PCR amplification, the respective DNAs are
subcloned in a CHO expression vector using standard techniques as
described in Ausubel et al., Current Protocols of Molecular
Biology, Unit 3.16, John Wiley and Sons (1997). CHO expression
vectors are constructed to have compatible restriction sites 5' and
3' of the DNA of interest to allow the convenient shuttling of
cDNA's. The vector used expression in CHO cells is as described in
Lucas et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 24:9 (1774-1779 (1996), and uses the
SV40 early promoter/enhancer to drive expression of the cDNA of
interest and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). DHFR expression
permits selection for stable maintenance of the plasmid following
transfection.
[4201] Twelve micrograms of the desired plasmid DNA is introduced
into approximately 10 million CHO cells using commercially
available transfection reagents Superfect.RTM. (Quiagen),
Dosper.RTM. or Fugene.RTM. (Boehringer Mannheim). The cells are
grown as described in Lucas et al., supra. Approximately
3.times.10.sup.-7 cells are frozen in an ampule for further growth
and production as described below.
[4202] The ampules containing the plasmid DNA are thawed by
placement into water bath and mixed by vortexing. The contents are
pipetted into a centrifuge tube containing 10 mLs of media and
centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. The supernatant is aspirated
and the cells are resuspended in 10 mL of selective media (0.2
.mu.m filtered PS20 with 5% 0.2 .mu.m diafiltered fetal bovine
serum). The cells are then aliquoted into a 100 mL spinner
containing 90 mL of selective media. After 1-2 days, the cells are
transferred into a 250 mL spinner filled with 150 mL selective
growth medium and incubated at 37.degree. C. After another 2-3
days, 250 niL, 500 mL and 2000 mL spinners are seeded with
3.times.10.sup.5 cells/mL. The cell media is exchanged with fresh
media by centrifugation and resuspension in production medium.
Although any suitable CHO media may be employed, a production
medium described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,122,469, issued Jun. 16, 1992
may actually be used. A 3L production spinner is seeded at
1.2.times.10.sup.6 cells/mL. On day 0, the cell number pH ie
determined. On day 1, the spinner is sampled and sparging with
filtered air is commenced. On day 2, the spinner is sampled, the
temperature shifted to 33.degree. C., and 30 mL of 500 g/L glucose
and 0.6 mL of 10% antifoam (e.g., 35% polydimethylsiloxane
emulsion, Dow Corning 365 Medical Grade Emulsion) taken. Throughout
the production, the pH is adjusted as necessary to keep it at
around 7.2. After 10 days, or until the viability dropped below
70%, the cell culture is harvested by centrifugation and filtering
through a 0.22 .mu.m filter. The filtrate was either stored at
4.degree. C. or immediately loaded onto columns for
purification.
[4203] For the poly-His tagged constructs, the proteins are
purified using a Ni-NTA column (Qiagen). Before purification,
imidazole is added to the conditioned media to a concentration of 5
mM. The conditioned media is pumped onto a 6 ml Ni-NTA column
equilibrated in 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, buffer containing 0.3 M NaCI
and 5 mM imidazole at a flow rate of 4-5 mllmin. at 4.degree. C.
After loading, the column is washed with additional equilibration
buffer and the protein eluted with equilibration buffer containing
0.25 M imidazole. The highly purified protein is subsequently
desalted into a storage buffer containing 10 mM Hepes, 0.14 M NaCl
and 4% mannitol, pH 6.8, with a 25 ml G25 Superfine (Pharmacia)
column and stored at -80.degree. C.
[4204] Immunoadhesin (Fc-containing) constructs are purified from
the conditioned media as follows. The conditioned medium is pumped
onto a 5 ml Protein A column (Pharmacia) which had been
equilibrated in 20 mM Na phosphate buffer, pH 6.8. After loading,
the column is washed extensively with equilibration buffer before
elution with 100 mM citric acid, pH 3.5. The eluted protein is
immediately neutralized by collecting 1 ml fractions into tubes
containing 275 .mu.L of 1 M Tris buffer, pH 9. The highly purified
protein is subsequently desalted into storage buffer as described
above for the poly-His tagged proteins. The homogeneity is assessed
by SDS polyacrylamide gels and by N-terminal amino acid sequencing
by Edman degradation.
[4205] Many of the PRO polypeptides disclosed herein were
successfully expressed as described above.
Example 142
Expression of PRO in Yeast
[4206] The following method describes recombinant expression of PRO
in yeast.
[4207] First, yeast expression vectors are constructed for
intracellular production or secretion of PRO from the ADH2/GAPDH
promoter. DNA encoding PRO and the promoter is inserted into
suitable restriction enzyme sites in the selected plasmid to direct
intracellular expression of PRO. For secretion, DNA encoding PRO
can be cloned into the selected plasmid, together with DNA encoding
the ADH2/GAPDH promoter, a native PRO signal peptide or other
mammalian signal peptide, or, for example, a yeast alpha-factor or
invertase secretory signal/leader sequence, and linker sequences
(if needed) for expression of PRO.
[4208] Yeast cells, such as yeast strain AB110, can then be
transformed with the expression plasmids described above and
cultured in selected fermentation media. The transformed yeast
supernatants can be analyzed by precipitation with 10%
trichloroacetic acid and separation by SDS-PAGE, followed by
staining of the gels with Coomassie Blue stain.
[4209] Recombinant PRO can subsequently be isolated and purified by
removing the yeast cells from the fermentation medium by
centrifugation and then concentrating the medium using selected
cartridge filters. The concentrate containing PRO may further be
purified using selected column chromatography resins.
[4210] Many of the PRO polypeptides disclosed herein were
successfully expressed as described above.
Example 143
Expression of PRO in Baculovirus-infected Insect Cells
[4211] The following method describes recombinant expression of PRO
in Baculovirus-infected insect cells.
[4212] The sequence coding for PRO is fused upstream of an epitope
tag contained within a baculovirus expression vector. Such epitope
tags include poly-his tags and immunoglobulin tags (like Fc regions
of IgG). A variety of plasmids may be employed, including plasmids
derived from commercially available plasmids such as pVL1393
(Novagen). Briefly, the sequence encoding PRO or the desired
portion of the coding sequence of PRO such as the sequence encoding
the extracellular domain of a transmembrane protein or the sequence
encoding the mature protein if the protein is extracellular is
amplified by PCR with primers complementary to the 5' and 3'
regions. The 5' primer may incorporate flanking (selected)
restriction enzyme sites. The product is then digested with those
selected restriction enzymes and subcloned into the expression
vector.
[4213] Recombinant baculovirus is generated by co-transfecting the
above plasmid and BaculoGold.TM. virus DNA (Pharmingen) into
Spodoptera fugiperda ("Sf9") cells (ATCC CRL 1711) using lipofectin
(commercially available from GIBCO-BRL). After 4-5 days of
incubation at 28.degree. C., the released viruses are harvested and
used for further amplifications. Viral infection and protein
expression are performed as described by O'Reilley et al.,
Baculovirus expression vectors: A Laboratory Manual, Oxford: Oxford
University Press (1994).
[4214] Expressed poly-his tagged PRO can then be purified, for
example, by Ni.sup.2+-chelate affinity chromatography as follows.
Extracts are prepared from recombinant virus-infected Sf9 cells as
described by Rupert et al., Nature, 362:175-179 (1993). Briefly,
Sf9 cells are washed, resuspended in sonication buffer (25 mL
Hepes, pH 7.9; 12.5 mM MgCl.sub.2; 0.1 mM EDTA; 10% glycerol; 0.1%
NP-40; 0.4 M KCl), and sonicated twice for 20 seconds on ice. The
sonicates are cleared by centrifugation, and the supernatant is
diluted 50-fold in loading buffer (50 mM phosphate, 300 mM NaCl,
10% glycerol, pH 7.8) and filtered through a 0.45 .mu.m filter. A
Ni.sup.2+-NTA agarose column (commercially available from Qiagen)
is prepared with a bed volume of 5 mL, washed with 25 mL of water
and equilibrated with 25 mL of loading buffer. The filtered cell
extract is loaded onto the column at 0.5 mL per minute. The column
is washed to baseline A.sub.280 with loading buffer, at which point
fraction collection is started. Next, the column is washed with a
secondary wash buffer (50 mM phosphate; 300 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol,
pH 6.0), which elutes nonspecifically bound protein. After reaching
A.sub.280 baseline again, the column is developed with a 0 to 500
mM Imidazole gradient in the secondary wash buffer. One mL
fractions are collected and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and silver
staining or Western blot with Ni.sup.2+-NTA-conjugated to alkaline
phosphatase (Qiagen). Fractions containing the eluted
His.sub.10-tagged PRO are pooled and dialyzed against loading
buffer.
[4215] Alternatively, purification of the IgG tagged (or Fc tagged)
PRO can be performed using known chromatography techniques,
including for instance, Protein A or protein G column
chromatography.
[4216] Many of the PRO polypeptides disclosed herein were
successfully expressed as described above.
Example 144
Preparation of Antibodies that Bind PRO
[4217] This example illustrates preparation of monoclonal
antibodies which can specifically bind PRO.
[4218] Techniques for producing the monoclonal antibodies are known
in the art and are described, for instance, in Goding, supra.
Immunogens that may be employed include purified PRO, fusion
proteins containing PRO, and cells expressing recombinant PRO on
the cell surface. Selection of the immunogen can be made by the
skilled artisan without undue experimentation.
[4219] Mice, such as Balb/c, are immunized with the PRO immunogen
emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant and injected
subcutaneously or intraperitoneally in an amount from 1-100
micrograms. Alternatively, the immunogen is emulsified in MPL-TDM
adjuvant (Ribi Immunochemical Research, Hamilton, Mont.) and
injected into the animal's hind foot pads. The immunized mice are
then boosted 10 to 12 days later with additional immunogen
emulsified in the selected adjuvant. Thereafter, for several weeks,
the mice may also be boosted with additional immunization
injections. Serum samples may be periodically obtained from the
mice by retro-orbital bleeding for testing in ELISA assays to
detect anti-PRO antibodies.
[4220] After a suitable antibody titer has been detected, the
animals "positive" for antibodies can be injected with a final
intravenous injection of PRO. Three to four days later, the mice
are sacrificed and the spleen cells are harvested. The spleen cells
are then fused (using 35% polyethylene glycol) to a selected murine
myeloma cell line such as P3X63AgU. 1, available from ATCC, No. CRL
1597. The fusions generate hybridoma cells which can then be plated
in 96 well tissue culture plates containing HAT (hypoxanthine,
aminopterin, and thymidine) medium to inhibit proliferation of
non-fused cells, myeloma hybrids, and spleen cell hybrids.
[4221] The hybridoma cells will be screened in an ELISA for
reactivity against PRO. Determination of "positive" hybridoma cells
secreting the desired monoclonal antibodies against PRO is within
the skill in the art.
[4222] The positive hybridoma cells can be injected
intraperitoneally into syngeneic Balb/c mice to produce ascites
containing the anti-PRO monoclonal antibodies. Alternatively, the
hybridoma cells can be grown in tissue culture flasks or roller
bottles. Purification of the monoclonal antibodies produced in the
ascites can be accomplished using ammonium sulfate precipitation,
followed by gel exclusion chromatography. Alternatively, affinity
chromatography based upon binding of antibody to protein A or
protein G can be employed.
Example 145
Purification of PRO Polypeptides Using Specific Antibodies
[4223] Native or recombinant PRO polypeptides may be purified by a
variety of standard techniques in the art of protein purification.
For example, pro-PRO polypeptide, mature PRO polypeptide, or
pre-PRO polypeptide is purified by immunoaffinity chromatography
using antibodies specific for the PRO polypeptide of interest. In
general, an immunoaffinity column is constructed by covalently
coupling the anti-PRO polypeptide antibody to an activated
chromatographic resin.
[4224] Polyclonal immunoglobulins are prepared from immune sera
either by precipitation with ammonium sulfate or by purification on
immobilized Protein A (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology, Piscataway,
N.J.). Likewise, monoclonal antibodies are prepared from mouse
ascites fluid by ammonium sulfate precipitation or chromatography
on immobilized Protein A. Partially purified immunoglobulin is
covalently attached to a chromatographic resin such as
CnBr-activated SEPHAROSE.TM. (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology). The
antibody is coupled to the resin, the resin is blocked, and the
derivative resin is washed according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
[4225] Such an immunoaffinity column is utilized in the
purification of PRO polypeptide by preparing a fraction from cells
containing PRO polypeptide in a soluble form. This preparation is
derived by solubilization of the whole cell or of a subcellular
fraction obtained via differential centrifugation by the addition
of detergent or by other methods well known in the art.
Alternatively, soluble PRO polypeptide containing a signal sequence
may be secreted in useful quantity into the medium in which the
cells are grown.
[4226] A soluble PRO polypeptide-containing preparation is passed
over the immunoaffinity column, and the column is washed under
conditions that allow the preferential absorbance of PRO
polypeptide (e.g., high ionic strength buffers in the presence of
detergent). Then, the column is eluted under conditions that
disrupt antibody/PRO polypeptide binding (e.g., a low pH buffer
such as approximately pH 2-3, or a high concentration of a
chaotrope such as urea or thiocyanate ion), and PRO polypeptide is
collected.
Example 146
Drug Screening
[4227] This invention is particularly useful for screening
compounds by using PRO polypeptides or binding fragment thereof in
any of a variety of drug screening techniques. The PRO polypeptide
or fragment employed in such a test may either be free in solution,
affixed to a solid support, borne on a cell surface, or located
intracellularly. One method of drug screening utilizes eukaryotic
or prokaryotic host cells which are stably transformed with
recombinant nucleic acids expressing the PRO polypeptide or
fragment. Drugs are screened against such transformed cells in
competitive binding assays. Such cells, either in viable or fixed
form, can be used for standard binding assays. One may measure, for
example, the formation of complexes between PRO polypeptide or a
fragment and the agent being tested. Alternatively, one can examine
the diminution in complex formation between the PRO polypeptide and
its target cell or target receptors caused by the agent being
tested.
[4228] Thus, the present invention provides methods of screening
for drugs or any other agents which can affect a PRO
polypeptide-associated disease or disorder. These methods comprise
contacting such an agent with an PRO polypeptide or fragment
thereof and assaying (I) for the presence of a complex between the
agent and the PRO polypeptide or fragment, or (ii) for the presence
of a complex between the PRO polypeptide or fragment and the cell,
by methods well known in the art. In such competitive binding
assays, the PRO polypeptide or fragment is typically labeled. After
suitable incubation, free PRO polypeptide or fragment is separated
from that present in bound form, and the amount of free or
uncomplexed label is a measure of the ability of the particular
agent to bind to PRO polypeptide or to interfere with the PRO
polypeptide/cell complex.
[4229] Another technique for drug screening provides high
throughput screening for compounds having suitable binding affinity
to a polypeptide and is described in detail in WO 84/03564,
published on Sep. 13, 1984. Briefly stated, large numbers of
different small peptide test compounds are synthesized on a solid
substrate, such as plastic pins or some other surface. As applied
to a PRO polypeptide, the peptide test compounds are reacted with
PRO polypeptide and washed. Bound PRO polypeptide is detected by
methods well known in the art. Purified PRO polypeptide can also be
coated directly onto plates for use in the aforementioned drug
screening techniques. In addition, non-neutralizing antibodies can
be used to capture the peptide and immobilize it on the solid
support.
[4230] This invention also contemplates the use of competitive drug
screening assays in which neutralizing antibodies capable of
binding PRO polypeptide specifically compete with a test compound
for binding to PRO polypeptide or fragments thereof. In this
manner, the antibodies can be used to detect the presence of any
peptide which shares one or more antigenic determinants with PRO
polypeptide.
Example 147
Rational Drug Design
[4231] The goal of rational drug design is to produce structural
analogs of biologically active polypeptide of interest (i.e., a PRO
polypeptide) or of small molecules with which they interact, e.g.,
agonists, antagonists, or inhibitors. Any of these examples can be
used to fashion drugs which are more active or stable forms of the
PRO polypeptide or which enhance or interfere with the function of
the PRO polypeptide in vivo (c.f., Hodgson, Bio/Technology, 9:
19-21 (1991)).
[4232] In one approach, the three-dimensional structure of the PRO
polypeptide, or of an PRO polypeptide-inhibitor complex, is
determined by x-ray crystallography, by computer modeling or, most
typically, by a combination of the two approaches. Both the shape
and charges of the PRO polypeptide must be ascertained to elucidate
the structure and to determine active site(s) of the molecule. Less
often, useful information regarding the structure of the PRO
polypeptide may be gained by modeling based on the structure of
homologous proteins. In both cases, relevant structural information
is used to design analogous PRO polypeptide-like molecules or to
identify efficient inhibitors. Useful examples of rational drug
design may include molecules which have improved activity or
stability as shown by Braxton and Wells, Biochemistry 31:7796-7801
(1992) or which act as inhibitors, agonists, or antagonists of
native peptides as shown by Athauda et al., J. Biochem.,
113:742-746 (1993).
[4233] It is also possible to isolate a target-specific antibody,
selected by functional assay, as described above, and then to solve
its crystal structure. This approach, in principle, yields a
pharmacore upon which subsequent drug design can be based. It is
possible to bypass protein crystallography altogether by generating
anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-ids) to a functional,
pharmacologically active antibody. As a mirror image of a mirror
image, the binding site of the anti-ids would be expected to be an
analog of the original receptor. The anti-id could then be used to
identify and isolate peptides from banks of chemically or
biologically produced peptides. The isolated peptides would then
act as the pharmacore.
[4234] By virtue of the present invention, sufficient amounts of
the PRO polypeptide may be made available to perform such
analytical studies as X-ray crystallography. In addition, knowledge
of the PRO polypeptide amino acid sequence provided herein will
provide guidance to those employing computer modeling techniques in
place of or in addition to x-ray crystallography.
Example 148
Stimulation of Heart Neonatal Hypertrophy (Assay 1)
[4235] This assay is designed to measure the ability of PRO
polypeptides to stimulate hypertrophy of neonatal heart. PRO
polypeptides testing positive in this assay are expected to be
useful for the therapeutic treatment of various cardiac
insufficiency disorders.
[4236] Cardiac myocytes from 1-day old Harlan Sprague Dawley rats
were obtained. Cells (180 .mu.l at 7.5.times.10.sup.4/ml, serum
<0.1%, freshly isolated) are added on day 1 to 96-well plates
previously coated with DMEM/F12+4% FCS. Test samples containing the
test PRO polypeptide or growth medium only (negative control) (20
.mu.l/well) are added directly to the wells on day 1. PGF (20
.mu.l/well) is then added on day 2 at final concentration of
10.sup.-6 M. The cells are then stained on day 4 and visually
scored on day 5, wherein cells showing no increase in size as
compared to negative controls are scored 0.0, cells showing a small
to moderate increase in size as compared to negative controls are
scored 1.0 and cells showing a large increase in size as compared
to negative controls are scored 2.0. A positive result in the assay
is a score of 1.0 or greater.
[4237] The following polypeptides tested positive in this assay:
PRO1312.
Example 149
Stimulation of Endothelial Cell Proliferation (Assay 8)
[4238] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides
of the present invention show the ability to stimulate adrenal
cortical capillary endothelial cell (ACE) growth. PRO polypeptides
testing positive in this assay would be expected to be useful for
the therapeutic treatment of conditions or disorders where
angiogenesis would be beneficial including, for example, wound
healing, and the like (as would agonists of these PRO
polypeptides). Antagonists of the PRO polypeptides testing positive
in this assay would be expected to be useful for the therapeutic
treatment of cancerous tumors.
[4239] Bovine adrenal cortical capillary endothelial (ACE) cells
(from primary culture, maximum of 12-14 passages) were plated in
96-well plates at 500 cells/well per 100 microliter. Assay media
included low glucose DMEM, 10% calf serum, 2 mM glutamine, and
lXpenicillin/streptomycin/fungi- zone. Control wells included the
following: (1) no ACE cells added; (2) ACE cells alone; (3) ACE
cells plus VEGF (5 ng/ml); and (4) ACE cells plus FGF (Sng/ml). The
control or test sample, (in 100 microliter volumes), was then added
to the wells (at dilutions of 1%, 0.1% and 0.01%, respectively).
The cell cultures were incubated for 6-7 days at 37.degree. C./5%
CO.sub.2. After the incubation, the media in the wells was
aspirated, and the cells were washed 1.times. with PBS. An acid
phosphatase reaction mixture (100 microliter; 0..mu.M sodium
acetate, pH 5.5, 0.1% Triton X-100, 10 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate)
was then added to each well. After a 2 hour incubation at
37.degree. C., the reaction was stopped by addition of 10
microliters IN NaOH. Optical density (OD) was measured on a
microplate reader at 405 nm.
[4240] The activity of a PRO polypeptide was calculated as the fold
increase in proliferation (as determined by the acid phosphatase
activity, OD 405 .mu.m) relative to (1) cell only background, and
(2) relative to maximum stimulation by VEGF. VEGF (at 3-10 ng/ml)
and FGF (at 1-5 ng/ml) were employed as an activity reference for
maximum stimulation. Results of the assay were considered
"positive" if the observed stimulation was >50% increase over
background. VEGF (5 ng/ml) control at 1% dilution gave 1.24 fold
stimulation; FGF (5 ng/ml) control at 1% dilution gave 1.46 fold
stimulation.
[4241] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive in this
assay: PRO1154 and PRO1186.
Example 150
Inhibition of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Stimulated
Proliferation of Endothelial Cell Growth (Assay 9)
[4242] The ability of various PRO polypeptides to inhibit VEGF
stimulated proliferation of endothelial cells was tested.
Polypeptides testing positive in this assay are useful for
inhibiting endothelial cell growth in mammals where such an effect
would be beneficial, e.g., for inhibiting tumor growth.
[4243] Specifically, bovine adrenal cortical capillary endothelial
cells (ACE) (from primary culture, maximum of 12-14 passages) were
plated in 96-well plates at 500 cells/well per 100 microliter.
Assay media included low glucose DMEM, 10% calf serum, 2 mM
glutamine, and IX penicillin/streptomycin/fungizone. Control wells
included the following: (1) no ACE cells added; (2) ACE cells
alone; (3) ACE cells plus 5 ng/ml FGF; (4) ACE cells plus 3 ng/ml
VEGF; (5) ACE cells plus 3 ng/ml VEGF plus 1 ng/ml TGF-beta; and
(6) ACE cells plus 3 ng/ml VEGF plus 5 ng/ml LIF. The test samples,
poly-his tagged PRO polypeptides (in 100 microliter volumes), were
then added to the wells (at dilutions of 1%, 0. 1% and 0.01%,
respectively). The cell cultures were incubated for 6-7 days at
37.degree. C./5% CO.sub.2. After the incubation, the media in the
wells was aspirated, and the cells were washed 1.times. with PBS.
An acid phosphatase reaction mixture (100 microliter; 0.1M sodium
acetate, pH 5.5, 0.1% Triton X-100, 10 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate)
was then added to each well. After a 2 hour incubation at
37.degree. C., the reaction was stopped by addition of 10
microliters iN NaOH. Optical density (OD) was measured on a
microplate reader at 405 nm.
[4244] The activity of PRO polypeptides was calculated as the
percent inhibition of VEGF (3 ng/ml) stimulated proliferation (as
determined by measuring acid phosphatase activity at OD 405 .mu.m)
relative to the cells without stimulation. TGF-beta was employed as
an activity reference at 1 ng/ml, since TGF-beta blocks 70-90% of
VEGF-stimulated ACE cell proliferation. The results are indicative
of the utility of the PRO polypeptides in cancer therapy and
specifically in inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. Numerical values
(relative inhibition) are determined by calculating the percent
inhibition of VEGF stimulated proliferation by the PRO polypeptides
relative to cells without stimulation and then dividing that
percentage into the percent inhibition obtained by TGF-.beta. at 1
ng/ml which is known to block 70-90% of VEGF stimulated cell
proliferation. The results are considered positive if the PRO
polypeptide exhibits 30% or greater inhibition of VEGF stimulation
of endothelial cell growth (relative inhibition 30% or
greater).
[4245] The following polypeptide tested positive in this assay:
PRO812.
Example 151
Stimulatory Activity in Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR) Assay
(Assay 24)
[4246] This example shows that certain polypeptides of the
invention are active as a stimulator of the proliferation of
stimulated T-lymphocytes. Compounds which stimulate proliferation
of lymphocytes are useful therapeutically where enhancement of an
immune response is beneficial. A therapeutic agent may take the
form of antagonists of the polypeptide of the invention, for
example, murine-human chimeric, humanized or human antibodies
against the polypeptide.
[4247] The basic protocol for this assay is described in Current
Protocols in Immunology, unit 3.12; edited by J E Coligan, A M
Kruisbeek, D H Marglies, E M Shevach, W Strober, National Insitutes
of Health, Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
[4248] More specifically, in one assay variant, peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMC) are isolated from mammalian individuals,
for example a human volunteer, by leukopheresis (one donor will
supply stimulator PBMCs, the other donor will supply responder
PBMCs). If desired, the cells are frozen in fetal bovine serum and
DMSO after isolation. Frozen cells may be thawed overnight in assay
media (37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2) and then washed and resuspended
to 3.times.10.sup.6 cells/ml of assay media (RPMI; 10% fetal bovine
serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% glutamine, 1% HEPES, 1%
non-essential amino acids, 1% pyruvate). The stimulator PBMCs are
prepared by irradiating the cells (about 3000 Rads).
[4249] The assay is prepared by plating in triplicate wells a
mixture of:
[4250] 100:1 of test sample diluted to 1% or to 0.1%,
[4251] 50:1 of irradiated stimulator cells, and
[4252] 50:1 of responder PBMC cells.
[4253] 100 microliters of cell culture media or 100 microliter of
CD4-IgG is used as the control. The wells are then incubated at
37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2 for 4 days. On day 5, each well is
pulsed with tritiated thymidine (1.0 mC/well; Amersham). After 6
hours the cells are washed 3 times and then the uptake of the label
is evaluated.
[4254] In another variant of this assay, PBMCs are isolated from
the spleens of Balb/c mice and C57B6 mice. The cells are teased
from freshly harvested spleens in assay media (RPMI; 10% fetal
bovine serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% glutamine, 1% HEPES,
1% non-essential amino acids, 1% pyruvate) and the PBMCs are
isolated by overlaying these cells over Lympholyte M (Organon
Teknika), centrifuging at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes, collecting and
washing the mononuclear cell layer in assay media and resuspending
the cells to 1.times.10.sup.7 cells/ml of assay media. The assay is
then conducted as described above.
[4255] Positive increases over control are considered positive with
increases of greater than or equal to 180% being preferred.
However, any value greater than control indicates a stimulatory
effect for the test protein.
[4256] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive in this
assay: PRO826, PRO1068, PRO1184, PRO1346 and PRO1375.
Example 152
Retinal Neuron Survival (Assay 52)
[4257] This example demonstrates that certain PRO polypeptides have
efficacy in enhancing the survival of retinal neuron cells and,
therefore, are useful for the therapeutic treatment of retinal
disorders or injuries including, for example, treating sight loss
in mammals due to retinitis pigmentosum, AMD, etc.
[4258] Sprague Dawley rat pups at postnatal day 7 (mixed
population: glia and retinal neuronal types) are killed by
decapitation following C0.sub.2 anesthesia and the eyes are removed
under sterile conditions. The neural retina is dissected away from
the pigment epithelium and other ocular tissue and then dissociated
into a single cell suspension using 0.25% trypsin in Ca.sup.2+,
Mg.sup.2+-free PBS. The retinas are incubated at 37.degree. C. for
7-10 minutes after which the trypsin is inactivated by adding 1 ml
soybean trypsin inhibitor. The cells are plated at 100,000 cells
per well in 96 well plates in DMEM/F12 supplemented with N2 and
with or without the specific test PRO polypeptide. Cells for all
experiments are grown at 37.degree. C. in a water saturated
atmosphere of 5% CO.sub.2. After 2-3 days in culture, cells are
stained with calcein AM then fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde and
stained with DAPI for determination of total cell count. The total
cells (fluorescent) are quantified at 20.times. objective
magnification using CCD camera and NIH image software for
MacIntosh. Fields in the well are chosen at random.
[4259] The effect of various concentration of PRO polypeptides are
reported herein where percent survival is calculated by dividing
the total number of calcein AM positive cells at 2-3 days in
culture by the total number of DAPI-labeled cells at 2-3 days in
culture. Anything above 30% survival is considered positive.
[4260] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive in this assay
using polypeptide concentrations within the range of 0.01% to 1.0%
in the assay: PRO828, PRO826, PRO1068 and PRO1132.
Example 153
Rod Photoreceptor Cell Survival (Assay 56)
[4261] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention
act to enhance the survival/proliferation of rod photoreceptor
cells and, therefore, are useful for the therapeutic treatment of
retinal disorders or injuries including, for example, treating
sight loss in mammals due to retinitis pigmentosum, AMD, etc.
[4262] Sprague Dawley rat pups at 7 day postnatal (mixed
population: glia and retinal neuronal cell types) are killed by
decapitation following CO.sub.2 anesthesis and the eyes are removed
under sterile conditions. The neural retina is dissected away form
the pigment epithelium and other ocular tissue and then dissociated
into a single cell suspension using 0.25% trypsin in Ca.sup.2+,
Mg.sup.2+-free PBS. The retinas are incubated at 37.degree. C. for
7-10 minutes after which the trypsin is inactivated by adding 1 ml
soybean trypsin inhibitor. The cells are plated at 100,000 cells
per well in 96 well plates in DMEM/F12 supplemented with N.sub.2.
Cells for all experiments are grown at 37.degree. C. in a water
saturated atmosphere of 5% CO.sub.2. After 2-3 days in culture,
cells are fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde, and then stained using
CellTracker Green CMFDA. Rho 4D2 (ascites or IgG 1:100), a
monoclonal antibody directed towards the visual pigment rhodopsin
is used to detect rod photoreceptor cells by indirect
immunofluorescence. The results are calculated as % survival: total
number of calcein--rhodopsin positive cells at 2-3 days in culture,
divided by the total number of rhodopsin positive cells at time 2-3
days in culture. The total cells (fluorescent) are quantified at
20.times. objective magnification using a CCD camera and NIH image
software for MacIntosh. Fields in the well are chosen at
random.
[4263] The following polypeptides tested positive in this assay:
PRO536, PRO943, PRO828, PRO826, PRO1068 and PRO1132.

Induction of c-fos in Endothelial Cells (Assay 34)
[4264] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides
show the ability to induce c-fos in endothelial cells. PRO
polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be expected to be
useful for the therapeutic treatment of conditions or disorders
where angiogenesis would be beneficial including, for example,
wound healing, and the like (as would agonists of these PRO
polypeptides). Antagonists of the PRO polypeptides testing positive
in this assay would be expected to be useful for the therapeutic
treatment of cancerous tumors.
[4265] Human venous umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC, Cell
Systems) in growth media (50% Ham's F12 w/o GHT: low glucose, and
50% DMEM without glycine: with NaHCO3, 1% glutamine, 10 mM HEPES,
10% FBS, 10 ng/ml bFGF) were plated on 96-well microtiter plates at
a cell density of 1.times.10.sup.4 cells/well. The day after
plating, the cells were starved by removing the growth media and
treating the cells with 100 .mu.l/well test samples and controls
(positive control=growth media; negative control=Protein32
buffer=10 mM HEPES, 140 mM NaCl, 4% (w/v) mannitol, pH 6.8). The
cells were incubated for 30 minutes at 37.degree. C., in 5%
CO.sub.2. The samples were removed, and the first part of the bDNA
kit protocol (Chiron Diagnostics, cat. #6005-037) was followed,
where each capitalized reagent/buffer listed below was available
from the kit.
[4266] Briefly, the amounts of the TM Lysis Buffer and Probes
needed for the tests were calculated based on information provided
by the manufacturer. The appropriate amounts of thawed Probes were
added to the TM Lysis Buffer. The Capture Hybridization Buffer was
warmed to room temperature. The bDNA strips were set up in the
metal strip holders, and 100 .mu.l of Captuie Hybridization Buffer
was added to each b-DNA well needed, followed by incubation for at
least 30 minutes. The test plates with the cells were removed from
the incubator, and the media was gently removed using the vacuum
manifold. 100 .mu.l of Lysis Hybridization Buffer with Probes were
quickly pipetted into each well of the microtiter plates. The
plates were then incubated at 55.degree. C. for 15 minutes. Upon
removal from the incubator, the plates were placed on the vortex
mixer with the microtiter adapter head and vortexed on the #2
setting for one minute. 80 .mu.l of the lysate was removed and
added to the bDNA wells containing the Capture Hybridization
Buffer, and pipetted up and down to mix. The plates were incubated
at 53.degree. C. for at least 16 hours.
[4267] On the next day, the second part of the bDNA kit protocol
was followed. Specifically, the plates were removed from the
incubator and placed on the bench to cool for 10 minutes. The
volumes of additions needed were calculated based upon information
provided by the manufacturer. An Amplifier Working Solution was
prepared by making a 1:100 dilution of the Amplifier Concentrate
(20 fm/.mu.l) in AL Hybridization Buffer. The hybridization mixture
was removed from the plates and washed twice with Wash A. 50 .mu.l
of Amplifier Working Solution was added to each well and the wells
were incubated at 53.degree. C. for 30 minutes. The plates were
then removed from the incubator and allowed to cool for 10 minutes.
The Label Probe Working Solution was prepared by making a 1:100
dilution of Label Concentrate (40 pmoles/.mu.l) in AL Hybridization
Buffer. After the 10-minute cool-down period, the amplifier
hybridization mixture was removed and the plates were washed twice
with Wash A. 50 .mu.l of Label Probe Working Solution was added to
each well and the wells were incubated at 53.degree. C. for 15
minutes. After cooling for 10 minutes, the Substrate was warmed to
room temperature. Upon addition of 3 .mu.l of Substrate Enhancer to
each ml of Substrate needed for the assay, the plates were allowed
to cool for 10 minutes, the label hybridization mixture was
removed, and the plates were washed twice with Wash A and three
times with Wash D. 50 .mu.l of the Substrate Solution with Enhancer
was added to each well. The plates were incubated for 30 minutes at
37.degree. C. and RLU was read in an appropriate luminometer.
[4268] The replicates were averaged and the coefficient of
variation was determined. The measure of activity of the fold
increase over the negative control (Protein 32/HEPES buffer
described above) value was indicated by chemiluminescence units
(RLU). The results are considered positive if the PRO polypeptide
exhibits at least a two-fold value over the negative buffer
control. Negative control=1.00 RLU at 1.00% dilution. Positive
control=8.39 RLU at 1.00% dilution.
[4269] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive inthis assay:
PRO535, PRO826, PRO819, PRO1126, PRO1160 and PRO1387.

Inhibitory Activity in Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR) Assay (Assay

[4270] This example shows that one or more of the polypeptides of
the invention are active as inhibitors of the proliferation of
stimulated T-lymphocytes. Compounds which inhibit proliferation of
lymphocytes are useful therapeutically where suppression of an
immune response is beneficial.
[4271] The basic protocol for this assay is described in Current
Protocols in Immunology, unit 3.12; edited by J E Coligan, A M

[4272] More specifically, in one assay variant, peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMC) are isolated from mammalian individuals,
for example a human volunteer, by leukopheresis (one donor will
supply stimulator PBMCs, the other donor will supply responder
PBMCs). If desired, the cells are frozen in fetal bovine serum and
DMSO after isolation. Frozen cells may be thawed overnight in assay
media (37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2) and then washed and resuspended
to 3.times.10.sup.6 cells/ml of assay media (RPMI; 10% fetal bovine
serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% glutamine, 1% HEPES, 1%
non-essential amino acids, 1% pyruvate). The stimulator PBMCs are
prepared by irradiating the cells (about 3000 Rads).
[4273] The assay is prepared by plating in triplicate wells a
mixture of:
[4274] 100:1 of test sample diluted to 1% or to 0.1%,
[4275] 50:1 of irradiated stimulator cells, and
[4276] 50:1 of responder PBMC cells.
[4277] 100 microliters of cell culture media or 100 microliter of
CD4-IgG is used as the control. The wells are then incubated at
37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2 for 4 days. On day 5, each well is
pulsed with tritiated thymidine (1.0 mC/well; Amersham). After 6
hours the cells are washed 3 times and then the uptake of the label
is evaluated.
[4278] In another variant of this assay, PBMCs are isolated from
the spleens of Balb/c mice and C57B6 mice. The cells are teased
from freshly harvested spleens in assay media (RPMI; 10% fetal

isolated by overlaying these cells over Lympholyte M (Organon
Teknika), centrifuging at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes, collecting and
washing the mononuclear cell layer in assay media and resuspending

Mouse Kidney Mesangial Cell Proliferation Assay (Assay 92)
[4281] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention
act to induce proliferation of mammalian kidney mesangial cells
and, therefore, are useful for treating kidney disorders associated
with decreased mesangial cell function such as Berger disease or
other nephropathies associated with Schonlein-Henoch purpura,
celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis or Crohn disease. The
assay is performed as follows. On day one, mouse kidney mesangial
cells are plated on a 96 well plate in growth media (3:1 mixture of
Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium and Ham's F12 medium, 95% fetal
bovine serum, 5% supplemented with 14 mM HEPES) and grown
overnight. On day 2, PRO polypeptides are diluted at 2
concentrations(l % and 0.1%) in serum-free medium and added to the
cells. Control samples are serum-free medium alone. On day 4,
20.mu.l of the Cell Titer 96 Aqueous one solution reagent (Progema)
was added to each well and the colormetric reaction was allowed to
proceed for 2 hours. The absorbance (OD) is then measured at 490
.mu.m. A positive in the assay is anything that gives an absorbance
reading which is at least 15% above the control reading.

Pericyte c-Fos Induction (Assay 93)
[4283] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention

therefore, are useful not only as diagnostic markers for particular
types of pericyte-associated tumors but also for giving rise to
antagonists which would be expected to be useful for the
therapeutic treatment of pericyte-associated tumors. Specifically,
on day 1, pericytes are received from VEC Technologies and all but
5 ml of media is removed from flask. On day 2, the pericytes are
trypsinized, washed, spun and then plated onto 96 well plates. On
day 7, the media is removed and the pericytes are treated with 100
.mu.l of PRO polypeptide test samples and controls (positive
control =DME+5% serum +/-PDGF at 500 ng/ml; negative
control=protein 32). Replicates are averaged and SD/CV are
determined. Fold increase over Protein 32 (buffer control) value
indicated by chemiluminescence units (RLU) luminometer reading
verses frequency is plotted on a histogram. Two-fold above Protein
32 value is considered positive for the assay. ASY Matrix: Growth

Detection of PRO Polypeptides That Affect Glucose or FFA Uptake by
Primary Rat Adipocytes (Assav 94)
[4285] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides
show the ability to affect glucose or FFA uptake by adipocyte
cells. PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be
expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of disorders
where either the stimulation or inhibition of glucose uptake by
adipocytes would be beneficial including, for example, obesity,
diabetes or hyper- or hypo-insulinemia.
[4286] In a 96 well format, PRO polypeptides to be assayed are
added to primary rat adipocytes, and allowed to incubate overnight.
Samples are taken at 4 and 16 hours and assayed for glycerol,
glucose and FFA uptake. After the 16 hour incubation, insulin is
added to the media and allowed to incubate for 4 hours. At this
time, a sample is taken and glycerol, glucose and FFA uptake is
measured. Media containing insulin without the PRO polypeptide is
used as a positive reference control. As the PRO polypeptide being
tested may either stimulate or inhibit glucose and FFA uptake,
results are scored as positive in the assay if greater than 1.5
times or less than 0.5 times the insulin control.
[4287] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive as

Chondrocyte Re-differentiation Assay (Assay 110)
[4289] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention
act to induce redifferentiation of chondrocytes, therefore, are
expected to be useful for the treatment of various bone and/or
cartilage disorders such as, for example, sports injuries and
arthritis. The assay is performed as follows. Porcine chondrocytes
are isolated by overnight collagenase digestion of articulary
cartilage of metacarpophalangeal joints of 4-6 month old female
pigs. The isolated cells are then seeded at 25,000 cells/cm.sup.2
in Ham F-12 containing 10% FBS and 4 .mu.g/ml gentamycin. The
culture media is changed every third day and the cells are then
seeded in 96 well plates at 5,000 cells/well in 100.mu.l of the
same media without serum and 100 .mu.l of the test PRO polypeptide,
5 nM staurosporin (positive control) or medium alone (negative
control) is added to give a final volume of 200 .mu.l/well. After 5
days of incubation at 37.degree. C., a picture of each well is
taken and the differentiation state of the chondrocytes is
determined. A positive result in the assay occurs when the
redifferentiation of the chondrocytes is determined to be more
similar to the positive control than the negative control.

proliferation and/or redifferentiation of chondrocytes in culture.
PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be expected
to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of various bone and/or
cartilage disorders such as, for example, sports injuries and
arthritis.
[4292] Porcine chondrocytes are isolated by overnight collagenase
digestion of articular cartilage of the metacarpophalangealjoint of
4-6 month old female pigs. The isolated cells are then seeded at
25,000 cells/cm.sup.2 in Ham F-12 containing 10% FBS and 4 .mu.g/ml
gentamycin. The culture media is changed every third day and the
cells are reseeded to 25,000 cells/cm.sup.2 every five days. On day
12, the cells are seeded in 96 well plates at 5,000 cells/well in
100.mu.l of the same media without serum and 100 .mu.l of either
serum-free medium (negative control), staurosporin (fmal
concentration of 5 nM; positive control) or the test PRO
polypeptide are added to give a final volume of 200 .mu.l/well.
After 5 days at 37.degree. C., 20 .mu.l of Alamar blue is added to
each well and the plates are incubated for an additional 3 hours at
37.degree. C. The fluorescence is then measured in each well
(Ex:530 .mu.m; Em: 590 .mu.m). The fluorescence of a plate
containing 200 .mu.l of the serum-free medium is measured to obtain
the background. A positive result in the assay is obtained when the
fluorescence of the PRO polypeptide treated sample is more like
that of the positive control than the negative control.

[4294] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention
act to induce an increase in the number of pancreatic .beta.-cell
precursor cells and, therefore, are useful for treating various
insulin deficient states in mammals, including diabetes mellitus.
The assay is performed as follows. The assay uses a primary culture
of mouse fetal pancreatic cells and the primary readout is an
alteration in the expression of markers that represent either
.beta.-cell precursors or mature .beta.-cells. Marker expression is
measured by real time quantitative PCR (RTQ-PCR); wherein the
marker being evaluated is a transcription factor called Pdxl.
[4295] The pancreata are dissected from E14 embryos (CDl mice). The
pancreata are then digested with collagenase/dispase in F12/DMEM at
37.degree. C. for 40 to 60 minutes (collagenase/dispase, 1.37
mg/ml, Boehringer Mannheim, #1097113). The digestion is then
neutralized with an equal volume of 5% BSA and the cells are washed
once with RPMI1640. At day 1, the cells are seeded into 12-well
tissue culture plates (pre-coated with laminin, 20 .mu.g/ml in PBS,
Boehringer Manmheim, #124317). Cells from pancreata from 1-2
embryos are distributed per well. The culture medium for this
primary cuture is 14F/1640. At day 2, the media is removed and the
attached cells washed with RPMI/1640. Two mls of minimal media are
added in addition to the protein to be tested. At day 4, the media
is removed and RNA prepared from the cells and marker expression
analyzed by real time quantitative RT-PCR. A protein is considered
to be active in the assay if it increases the expression of the
relevant .beta.-cell marker as compared to untreated controls.

Skeletal Muscle (Assay 106)
[4319] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides
show the ability to affect glucose or FFA uptake by skeletal muscle
cells. PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be
expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of disorders
where either the stimulation or inhibition of glucose uptake by
skeletal muscle would be beneficial including, for example,
diabetes or hyper- or hypo-insulinemia.
[4320] In a 96 well format, PRO polypeptides to be assayed are
added to primary rat differentiated skeletal muscle, and allowed to
incubate overnight. Then fresh media with the PRO polypeptide and
+/- insulin are added to the wells. The sample media is then
monitored to determine glucose and FFA uptake by the skeletal
muscle cells. The insulin will stimulate glucose and FFA uptake by
the skeletal muscle, and insulin in media without the PRO
polypeptide is used as a positive control, and a limit for scoring.
As the PRO polypeptide being tested may either stimulate or inhibit
glucose and FFA uptake, results are scored as positive in the assay
if greater than 1.5 times or less than 0.5 times the insulin
control.

as follows. Erythroblastic cells are plated in standard growth
medium at 1000 cells/well in a 96 well format. PRO polypeptides are
added to the growth medium at a concentration of 0.2% or 2% and the
cells are incubated for 5 days at 37.degree. C. As a positive
control, cells are treated with 100 .mu.M hemin and as a negative

Skin Vascular Permeability Assay (Assay 64)
[4349] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention
stimulate an immune response and induce inflammation by inducing
mononuclear cell, eosinophil and PMN infiltration at the site of
injection of the animal. Compounds which stimulate an inmune
response are useful therapeutically where stimulation of an immune
response is beneficial. This skin vascular permeability assay is
conducted as follows. Hairless guinea pigs weighing 350 grams or
more are anesthetized with ketamine (75-80 mg/Kg) and 5 mg/Kg
xylazine intramuscularly (IM). A sample of purified polypeptide of
the invention or a conditioned media test sample is injected
intradermally onto the backs of the test animals with 100.mu.l per
injection site. It is possible to have about 10-30, preferably
about 16-24, injection sites per animal. One .mu.l of Evans blue
dye (1% in physiologic buffered saline) is injected intracardially.
Blemishes at the injection sites are then measured (mm diameter) at
1 hr and 6 hr post injection. Animals were sacrificed at 6 hrs
after injection. Each skin injection site is biopsied and fixed in
formalin. The skins are then prepared for histopathologic
evaluation. Each site is evaluated for inflammatory cell
infiltration into the skin. Sites with visible inflammatory cell
inflammation are scored as positive. Inflammatory cells may be
neutrophilic, eosinophilic, monocytic or lymphocytic. At least a
minimal perivascular infiltrate at the injection site is scored as
positve, no infiltrate at the site of injection is scored as
negative.

penn/strep. A positive result in this assay indicates the
usefulness of the polypeptide for therapeutically treating any of a
variety of conditions associated with undesired endothelial cell
growth including, for example, the inhibition of tumor growth. The
96-well plates used were manufactured by Falcon (No. 3072). Coating
of 96 well plates were prepared by allowing gelatinization to occur
for >30 minutes with 100 .mu.l of 0.2% gelatin in PBS solution.
The gelatin mix was aspirated thoroughly before plating HUVEC cells
at a final concentration of 2.times.10.sup.4 cells/ml in 10% serum
containing medium--100 .mu.l volume per well. The cells were grown
for 24 hours before adding test samples containing the PRO
polypeptide of interest.
[4352] To all wells, 100 .mu.l of 0% serum media (Cell Systems)
complemented with 100 ng/ml VEGF, 0.1% BSA, 1.times. penn/strep was
added. Test samples containing PRO polypeptides were added in
triplicate at dilutions of 1%, 0.33% and 0. 11%. Wells without
cells were used as a blank and wells with cells only were used as a
negative control. As a positive control, 1:3 serial dilutions of 50
.mu.l of a 3.times. stock of staurosporine were used. The cells
were incubated for 24 to 35 hours prior to ELISA.
[4353] ELISA was used to determine levels of apoptosis preparing
solutions according to the Boehringer Manual [Boehringer, Cell
Death Detection ELISA plus, Cat No. 1 920 685]. Sample
preparations: 96 well plates were spun down at 1 krpm for 10
minutes (200g); the supernatant was removed by fast inversion,
placing the plate upside down on a paper towel to remove residual
liquid. To each well, 200 .mu.l of 1.times. Lysis buffer was added
and incubation allowed at room temperature for 30 minutes without
shaking. The plates were spun down for 10 minutes at 1 krpm, and 20
.mu.l of the lysate (cytoplasmic fraction) was transferred into
streptavidin coated MTP. 80 .mu.l of immunoreagent mix was added to
the 20 .mu.l lystate in each well. The MTP was covered with
adhesive foil and incubated at room tempearature for 2 hours by
placing it on an orbital shaker (200 rpm). After two hours, the
supernatant was removed by suction and the wells rinsed three times
with 250 .mu.l of 1.times. incubation buffer per well (removed by
suction). Substrate solution was added (100 .mu.l) into each well
and incubated on an orbital shaker at room temperature at 250 rpm
until color development was sufficient for a photometric analysis
(approx. after 10-20 minutes). A 96 well reader was used to read
the plates at 405 nm, reference wavelength, 492 nm. The levels
obtained for PIN 32 (control buffer) was set to 100%. Samples with
levels >130% were considered positive for induction of
apoptosis.

Guinea Pig Vascular Leak (Assay 32)
[4355] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides
of the present invention show the ability to induce vascular
permeability. Polypeptides testing positive in this assay are
expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of conditions
which would benefit from enhanced vascular permeability including,
for example, conditions which may benefit from enhanced local
immune system cell infiltration.
[4356] Hairless guinea pigs weighing 350 grams or more were
anesthetized with Ketamine (75-80 mg/kg) and 5 mg/kg Xylazine
intramuscularly. Test samples containing the PRO polypeptide or a
physiological buffer without the test polypeptide are injected into
skin on the back of the test animals with 100 .mu.l per injection
site intradermally. There were approximately 16-24 injection sites
per animal. One ml of Evans blue dye (1% in PBS) is then injected
intracardially. Skin vascular permeability responses to the
compounds (i.e., blemishes at the injection sites of injection) are
visually scored by measuring the diameter (in mm) of blue-colored
leaks from the site of injection at 1, 6 and 24 hours post
administration of the test materials. The mm diameter of blueness
at the site of injection is observed and recorded as well as the
severity of the vascular leakage. Blemishes of at least 5 mm in
diameter are considered positive for the assay when testing
purified proteins, being indicative of the ability to induce
vascular leakage or permeability. A response greater than 7 mm
diameter is considered positive for conditioned media samples.
Human VEGF at 0.1 .mu.g/100 .mu.l is used as a positive control,
inducing a response of 4-8 mm diameter.

Mouse Mesengial Cell Inhibition Assay (Assay 114)
[4358] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides
of the present invention show the ability to inhibit the
proliferation of mouse mesengial cells in culture. PRO polypeptides
testing positive in this assay would be expected to be useful for
the therapeutic treatment of such diseases or conditions where
inhibition of mesengial cell proliferation would be beneficial such
as, for example, cystic renal dysplasia, polycystic kidney disease,
or other kidney disease assoiciated with abnormal mesengial cell
proliferation, renal tumors, and the like.
[4359] On day 1, mouse mesengial cells are plated on a 96 well
plate in growth medium (a 3:1 mixture of Dulbecco's modified
Eagle's medium and Ham's F12 medium, 95%; fetal bovine serum, 5%;
supplemented with 14 mM HEPES) and then are allowed to grow
overnight. On day 2, the PRO polypeptide is diluted at 2 different
concentrations (1%, 0.1%) in serun-free medium and is added to the
cells. The negative control is growth medium without added PRO
polypeptide. After the cells are allowed to incubate for 48 hours,
20 .mu.l of the Cell Titer 96 Aqueous one solution reagent
(Promega) is added to each well and the colormetric reaction is
allowed to proceed for 2 hours. The absorbance (OD) is then
measured at 490 nm. A positive in the assay is an absorbance
reading which is at least 10% above the negative control.

vitro have been described by Monks et al., J. Natl. Cancer Inst.
83:757-766 (1991). The purpose of this screen is to initially
evaluate the cytotoxic and/or cytostatic activity of the test
compounds against different types of tumors (Monks et al., supra;
Boyd, Cancer: Princ. Pract. Oncol. Update 3(10):1-12 [1989]).
[4362] Cells from approximately 60 human tumor cell lines were
harvested with trypsin/EDTA (Gibco), washed once, resuspended in
IMEM and their viability was determined. The cell suspensions were
added by pipet (100 .mu.L volume) into separate 96-well microtiter
plates. The cell density for the 6-day incubation was less than for
the 2-day incubation to prevent overgrowth. Inoculates were allowed
a preincubation period of 24 hours at 37.degree. C. for
stabilization. Dilutions at twice the intended test concentration
were added at time zero in 100 L aliquots to the microtiter plate
wells (1:2 dilution). Test compounds were evaluated at five
half-log dilutions (1000 to 100,000-fold). Incubations took place
for two days and six days in a 5% CO.sub.2 atmosphere and 100%
humidity.
[4363] After incubation, the medium was removed and the cells were
fixed in 0.1 ml of 10% trichloroacetic acid at 40.degree. C. The
plates were rinsed five times with deionized water, dried, stained
for 30 minutes with 0.1 ml of 0.4% sulforhodamine B dye (Sigma)
dissolved in 1% acetic acid, rinsed four times with 1% acetic acid
to remove unbound dye, dried, and the stain was extracted for five
minutes with 0.1 ml of 10 mM Tris base
[tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane], pH 10.5. The absorbance (OD) of
sulforhodamine B at 492 nm was measured using a
computer-interfaced, 96-well microtiter plate reader.
[4364] A test sample is considered positive if it shows at least
50% growth inhibitory effect at one or more concentrations. The
results are shown in the following table, where the abbreviations
are as follows:

[4367] The results of these assays demonstrate that the positive
testing PRO polypeptides are useful for inhibiting neoplastic
growth in a number of different tumor cell types and may be used
therapeutically therefor. Antibodies against these PRO polypeptides
are useful for affinity purification of these useful polypeptides.
Nucleic acids encoding these PRO polypeptides are useful for the
recombinant preparation of these polypeptides.
Example 170
Gene Amplification in Tumors
[4368] This example shows that certain PRO polypeptide-encoding
genes are amplified in the genome of certain human lung, colon
and/or breast cancers and/or cell lines. Amplification is
associated with overexpression of the gene product, indicating that
the polypeptides are useful targets for therapeutic intervention in
certain cancers such as colon, lung, breast and other cancers and
diagnostic determination of the presence of those cancers.
Therapeutic agents may take the form of antagonists of the PRO
polypeptide, for example, murine-human chimeric, humanized or human
antibodies against a PRO polypeptide.
[4369] The starting material for the screen was genomic DNA
isolated from a variety cancers. The DNA is quantitated precisely,
e.g., fluorometrically. As a negative control, DNA was isolated
from the cells of ten normal healthy individuals which was pooled
and used as assay controls for the gene copy in healthy individuals
(not shown). The 5' nuclease assay (for example, TaqMan.TM.) and
real-time quantitative PCR (for example, ABI Prizm 7700 Sequence
Detection System.TM. (Perkin Elmer, Applied Biosystems Division,
Foster City, Calif.)), were used to find genes potentially
amplified in certain cancers. The results were used to determine
whether the DNA encoding the PRO polypeptide is over-represented in
any of the primary lung or colon cancers or cancer cell lines or
breast cancer cell lines that were screened. The primary lung
cancers were obtained from individuals with tumors of the type and
stage as indicated in Table 8. An explanation of the abbreviations
used for the designation of the primary tumors listed in Table 8
and the primary tumors and cell lines referred to throughout this
example are given below.
[4370] The results of the TaqMan.TM. are reported in delta (A) Ct
units. One unit corresponds to 1 PCR cycle or approximately a
2-fold amplification relative to normal, two units corresponds to
4-fold, 3 units to 8-fold amplification and so on. Quantitation was
obtained using primers and a TaqMan.TM. fluorescent probe derived
from the PRO polypeptide-encoding gene. Regions of the PRO
polypeptide-encoding gene which are most likely to contain unique
nucleic acid sequences and which are least likely to have spliced
out introns are preferred for the primer and probe derivation,
e.g., 3'-untranslated regions. The sequences for the primers and
probes (forward, reverse and probe) used for the PRO polypeptide
gene amplification analysis were as follows:

[4371] The 5' nuclease assay reaction is a fluorescent PCR-based
technique which makes use of the 5' exonuclease activity of Taq DNA
polymerase enzyme to monitor amplification in real time. Two
oligonucleotide primers (forward [.f] and reverse [.r]) are used to
generate an amplicon typical of a PCR reaction. A third
oligonucleotide, or probe (.p), is designed to detect nucleotide
sequence located between the two PCR primers. The probe is
non-extendible by Taq DNA polymerase enzyme, and is labeled with a
reporter fluorescent dye and a quencher fluorescent dye. Any
laser-induced emission from the reporter dye is quenched by the
quenching dye when the two dyes are located close together as they
are on the probe. During the amplification reaction, the Taq DNA
polymerase enzyme cleaves the probe in a template-dependent manner.
The resultant probe fragments disassociate in solution, and signal
from the released reporter dye is free from the quenching effect of
the second fluorophore. One molecule of reporter dye is liberated
for each new molecule synthesized, and detection of the unquenched
reporter dye provides the basis for quantitative interpretation of
the data.
[4372] The 5' nuclease procedure is run on a real-time quantitative
PCR device such as the ABI Prism 7700TM Sequence Detection. The
system consists of a thermocycler, laser, charge-coupled device
(CCD) camera and computer. The system amplifies samples in a
96-well format on a thermocycler. During amplification,
laser-induced fluorescent signal is collected in real-time through
fiber optics cables for all 96 wells, and detected at the CCD. The
system includes software for running the instrument and for
analyzing the data.
[4373] 5' Nuclease assay data are initially expressed as Ct, or the
threshold cycle. This is defined as the cycle at which the reporter
signal accumulates above the background level of fluorescence. The
ACt values are used as quantitative measurement of the relative
number of starting copies of a particular target sequence in a
nucleic acid sample when comparing cancer DNA results to normal
human DNA results.
[4374] Table 8 describes the stage, T stage and N stage of various
primary tumors which were used to screen the PRO polypeptide
compounds of the invention.

[4375] DNA Preparation:
[4376] DNA was prepared from cultured cell lines, primary tumors,
normal human blood. The isolation was performed using purification
kit, buffer set and protease and all from Quiagen, according to the
manufacturer's instructions and the description below.
[4377] Cell Culture Lysis:
[4378] Cells were washed and trypsinized at a concentration of
7.5.times.10.sup.8 per tip and pelleted by centrifuging at 1000 rpm
for 5 minutes at 4.degree. C., followed by washing again with 1/2
volume of PBS recentrifugation. The pellets were washed a third
time, the suspended cells collected and washed 2.times. with PBS.
The cells were then suspended into 10 ml PBS. Buffer C1 was
equilibrated at 4.degree. C. Qiagen protease #19155 was diluted
into 6.25 ml cold ddH.sub.20 to a final concentration of 20 mg/ml
and equilibrated at 4.degree. C. 10 ml of G2 Buffer was prepared by
diluting Qiagen RNAse A stock (100 mg/ml) to a final concentration
of 200 .mu.g/ml.
[4379] Buffer C1 (10 ml, 4.degree. C.) and ddH20 (40 ml, 4.degree.
C.) were then added to the 10 ml of cell suspension, mixed by
inverting and incubated on ice for 10 minutes. The cell nuclei were
pelleted by centrifuging in a Beckman swinging bucket rotor at 2500
rpm at 4.degree. C. for 15 minutes. The supernatant was discarded
and the nuclei were suspended with a vortex into 2 ml Buffer C1 (at
4.degree. C.) and 6 ml ddH.sub.2O, followed by a second 4.degree.
C. centrifugation at 2500 rpm for 15 minutes. The nuclei were then
resuspended into the residual buffer using 200 .mu.l per tip. G2
buffer (10 ml) was added to the suspended nuclei while gentle
vortexing was applied. Upon completion of buffer addition, vigorous
vortexing was applied for 30 seconds. Quiagen protease (200 .mu.l,
prepared as indicated above) was added and incubated at 50.degree.
C. for 60 minutes. The incubation and centrifugation was repeated
until the lysates were clear (e.g., incubating additional 30-60
minutes, pelleting at 3000.times. g for 10 min., 4.degree. C.).
[4380] Solid Human Tumor Sample Preparation and Lysis:
[4381] Tumor samples were weighed and placed into 50 ml conical
tubes and held on ice. Processing was limited to no more than 250
mg tissue per preparation (1 tip/preparation). The protease
solution was freshly prepared by diluting into 6.25 ml cold
ddH.sub.2O to a final concentration of 20 mg/ml and stored at
4.degree. C. G2 buffer (20 ml) was prepared by diluting DNAse A to
a final concentration of 200 mg/ml (from 100 mg/ml stock). The
tumor tissue was homogenated in 19 ml G2 buffer for 60 seconds
using the large tip of the polytron in a laminar-flow TC hood in
order to avoid inhalation of aerosols, and held at room
temperature. Between samples, the polytron was cleaned by spinning
at 2.times.30 seconds each in 2L ddH.sub.20, followed by G2 buffer
(50 ml). If tissue was still present on the generator tip, the
apparatus was disassembled and cleaned.
[4382] Quiagen protease (prepared as indicated above, 1.0 ml) was
added, followed by vortexing and incubation at 50.degree. C. for 3
hours. The incubation and centrifugation was repeated until the
lysates were clear (e.g., incubating additional 30-60 minutes,
pelleting at 3000.times. g for 10 min., 4.degree. C.).
[4383] Human Blood Preparation and Lysis:
[4384] Blood was drawn from healthy volunteers using standard
infectious agent protocols and citrated into 10 ml samples per tip.
Quiagen protease was freshly prepared by dilution into 6.25 ml cold
ddH.sub.2O to a final concentration of 20 mg/ml and stored at
4.degree. C. G2 buffer was prepared by diluting RNAse A to a final
concentration of 200 .mu.g/ml from 100 mg/ml stock. The blood (10
ml) was placed into a 50 ml conical tube and 10 ml C1 buffer and 30
ml ddH.sub.2O (both previously equilibrated to 4.degree. C.) were
added, and the components mixed by inverting and held on ice for 10
minutes. The nuclei were pelleted with a Beckman swinging bucket
rotor at 2500 rpm, 4.degree. C. for 15 minutes and the supernatant
discarded. With a vortex, the nuclei were suspended into 2 ml C1
buffer (4.degree. C.) and 6 ml ddH.sub.2O (4.degree. C.). Vortexing
was repeated until the pellet was white. The nuclei were then
suspended into the residual buffer using a 200 .mu.l tip. G2 buffer
(10 ml) were added to the suspended nuclei while gently vortexing,
followed by vigorous vortexing for 30 seconds. Quiagen protease was
added (200 .mu.l) and incubated at 50.degree. C. for 60 minutes.
The incubation and centrifugation was repeated until the lysates
were clear (e.g., incubating additional 30-60 minutes, pelleting at
3000.times. g for 10 min., 4.degree. C.).
[4385] Purification of Cleared Lysates:
[4386] (1) Isolation of Genomic DNA:
[4387] Genomic DNA was equilibrated (1 sample per maxi tip
preparation) with 10 ml QBT buffer. QF elution buffer was
equilibrated at 50.degree. C. The samples were vortexed for 30
seconds, then loaded onto equilibrated tips and drained by gravity.
The tips were washed with 2.times.15 ml QC buffer. The DNA was
eluted into 30 ml silanized, autoclaved 30 ml Corex tubes with 15
ml QF buffer (50.degree. C.). Isopropanol (10.5 ml) was added to
each sample, the tubes covered with parafm and mixed by repeated
inversion until the DNA precipitated. Samples were pelleted by
centrifugation in the SS-34 rotor at 15,000 rpm for 10 minutes at
4.degree. C. The pellet location was marked, the supernatant
discarded, and 10 ml 70% ethanol (4.degree. C.) was added. Samples
were pelleted again by centrifugation on the SS-34 rotor at 10,000
rpm for 10 minutes at 4.degree. C. The pellet location was marked
and the supernatant discarded. The tubes were then placed on their
side in a drying rack and dried 10 minutes at 37.degree. C., taking
care not to overdry the samples.
[4388] After drying, the pellets were dissolved into 1.0 ml TE (pH
8.5) and placed at 50.degree. C. for 1-2 hours. Samples were held
overnight at 4.degree. C. as dissolution continued. The DNA
solution was then transferred to 1.5 ml tubes with a 26 gauge
needle on a tuberculin syringe. The transfer was repeated 5.times.
in order to shear the DNA. Samples were then placed at 50.degree.
C. for 1-2 hours.
[4389] (2) Ouantitation of Genomic DNA and Preparation for Gene
Amplification Assay:
[4390] The DNA levels in each tube were quantified by standard
A.sub.260, A.sub.280 spectrophotometry on a 1:20 dilution (5 .mu.l
DNA+95 .mu.l ddH.sub.2O) using the 0.1 ml quartz cuvetts in the
Beckman DU640 spectrophotometer. A.sub.260/A.sub.280 ratios were in
the range of 1.8-1.9. Each DNA samples was then diluted further to
approximately 200 ng/ml in TE (pH 8.5). If the original material
was highly concentrated (about 700 ng/.mu.l), the material was
placed at 50.degree. C. for several hours until resuspended.
[4391] Fluorometric DNA quantitation was then performed on the
diluted material (20-600 ng/ml) using the manufacturer's guidelines
as modified below. This was accomplished by allowing a Hoeffer DyNA
Quant 200 fluorometer to warm-up for about 15 minutes. The Hoechst
dye working solution (#H33258, 10 .mu.l, prepared within 12 hours
of use) was diluted into 100 ml 1.times. TNE buffer. A 2 ml cuvette
was filled with the fluorometer solution, placed into the machine,
and the machine was zeroed. pGEM 3Zf(+) (2 .mu.l, lot #360851026)
was added to 2 ml of fluorometer solution and calibrated at 200
units. An additional 2 .mu.l of pGEM 3Zf(+) DNA was then tested and
the reading confirmed at 400+/-10 units. Each sample was then read
at least in triplicate. When 3 samples were found to be within 10%
of each other, their average was taken and this value was used as
the quantification value.
[4392] The fluorometricly determined concentration was then used to
dilute each sample to 10 ng/.mu.l in ddH.sub.2O. This was done
simultaneously on all template samples for a single TaqMan plate
assay, and with enough material to run 500-1000 assays. The samples
were tested in triplicate with Taqman.TM. primers and probe both
B-actin and GAPDH on a single plate with normal human DNA and
no-template controls. The diluted samples were used provided that
the CT value of normal human DNA subtracted from test DNA was +/-1
Ct. The diluted, lot-qualified genomic DNA was stored in 1.0 ml
aliquots at -80.degree. C. Aliquots which were subsequently to be
used in the gene amplification assay were stored at 4.degree. C.
Each 1 ml aliquot is enough for 8-9 plates or 64 tests.

[4397] Because amplification of the various DNAs described above
occurs in various cancerous tumors and tumor cell lines derived
from various human tissues, these molecules likely play a
significant role in tumor formation and/or growth. As a result,
amplification and/or enhanced expression of these molecules can
serve as a diagnostic for detecting the presence of tumor in an
individual and antagonists (e.g., antibodies) directed against the
proteins encoded by the above described DNA molecules would be
expected to have utility in cancer therapy.
Example 171
Identification of Receptor/Ligand Interactions
[4398] In this assay, various PRO polypeptides are tested for
ability to bind to a panel of potential receptor molecules for the
purpose of identifying receptor/ligand interactions. The
identification of a ligand for a known receptor, a receptor for a
known ligand or a novel receptor/ligand pair is useful for a
variety of indications including, for example, targeting bioactive
molecules (linked to the ligand or receptor) to a cell known to
express the receptor or ligand, use of the receptor or ligand as a
reagent to detect the presence of the ligand or receptor in a
composition suspected of containing the same, wherein the
composition may comprise cells suspected of expressing the ligand
or receptor, modulating the growth of or another biological or
immunological activity of a cell known to express or respond to the
receptor or ligand, modulating the immune response of cells or
toward cells that express the receptor or ligand, allowing the
preparaion of agonists, antagonists and/or antibodies directed
against the receptor or ligand which will modulate the growth of or
a biological or immunological activity of a cell expressing the
receptor or ligand, and various other indications which will be
readily apparent to the ordinarily skilled artisan.
[4399] The assay is performed as follows. A PRO polypeptide of the
present invention suspected of being a ligand for a receptor is
expressed as a fusion protein containing the Fc domain of human IgG
(an inmunoadhesin). Receptor-ligand binding is detected by allowing
interaction of the immunoadhesin polypeptide with cells (e.g. Cos
cells) expressing candidate PRO polypeptide receptors and
visualization of bound immunoadhesin with fluorescent reagents
directed toward the Fc fusion domain and examination by microscope.
Cells expressing candidate receptors are produced by transient
transfection, in parallel, of defined subsets of a library of cDNA
expression vectors encoding PRO polypeptides that may function as
receptor molecules. Cells are then incubated for 1 hour in the
presence of the PRO polypeptide immunoadhesin being tested for
possible receptor binding. The cells are then washed and fixed with
paraformaldehyde. The cells are then incubated with fluorescent
conjugated antibody directed against the Fc portion of the PRO
polypeptide immunoadhesin (e.g. FITC conjugated goat anti-human-Fc
antibody). The cells are then washed again and examined by
microscope. A positive interaction is judged by the presence of
fluorescent labeling of cells transfected with cDNA encoding a
particular PRO polypeptide receptor or pool of receptors and an
absence of similar fluorescent labeling of similarly prepared cells
that have been transfected with other cDNA or pools of cDNA. If a
defined pool of cDNA expression vectors is judged to be positive
for interaction with a PRO polypeptide immunoadhesin, the
individual cDNA species that comprise the pool are tested
individually (the pool is "broken down") to determine the specific
cDNA that encodes a receptor able to interact with the PRO
polypeptide immunoadhesin.
[4400] In another embodiment of this assay, an epitope-tagged
potential ligand PRO polypeptide (e.g. 8 histidine "His" tag) is
allowed to interact with a panel of potential receptor PRO
polypeptide molecules that have been expressed as fusions with the
Fc domain of human IgG (immunoadhesins). Following a 1 hour
co-incubation with the epitope tagged PRO polypeptide, the
candidate receptors are each immunoprecipitated with protein A
beads and the beads are washed. Potential ligand interaction is
determined by western blot analysis of the immunoprecipitated
complexes with antibody directed towards the epitope tag. An
interaction is judged to occur if a band of the anticipated
molecular weight of the epitope tagged protein is observed in the
western blot analysis with a candidate receptor, but is not
observed to occur with the other members of the panel of potential
receptors.
[4401] Using these assays, the following receptor/ligand
interactions have been herein identified:
[4402] (1) PRO943 binds to FHF1, PRO183 (FHF2), PRO184 (FHF3) and
PRO185 (FHF4) and vice versa.
[4403] (2) PRO331 binds to PRO1133 and vice versa.
[4404] (3) PRO363 binds to PRO1387 and vice versa.
[4405] (4) PRO5723 binds to PRO1387 and vice versa.
[4406] (5) PRO1114 binds to PRO3301 and PRO9940 and vice versa.
[4407] (6) PRO9828 appears to be a novel fibroblast growth factor
receptor (FGFR) ligand in that it binds to the known FGF receptors
FGFR1, FGFR2IIIC, FGFR3IIIC and FGFR4. PRO9828 and agonists,
therefore, will find use for activating the biological activities
normally activated by FGF molecules including, for example, cell
growth and proliferation. Antagonists of PRO9828 will find use in
blocking the biological activities mediated through the FGF
receptor.
[4408] (7) PRO1181 binds to PRO7170, PRO361 and PRO846.
Example 172
Tissue Expression Distribution
[4409] Oligonucleotide probes were constructed from the PRO
polypeptide-encoding nucleotide sequences shown in the figures for
use in quantitative PCR amplification reactions. The
oligonucleotide probes were chosen so as to give an approximately
200-600 base pair amplified fragment from the 3' end of its
associated template in a standard PCR reaction. The oligonucleotide
probes were employed in standard quantitative PCR amplification
reactions with cDNA libraries isolated from different human adult
and/or fetal tissue sources and analyzed by agarose gel
electrophoresis so as to obtain a quantitative determination of the
level of expression of the PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acids
in the various tissues tested. Knowledge of the expression pattern
or the differential expression of the PRO polypeptide-encoding
nucleic acids in various different human tissue types provides a
diagnostic marker useful for tissue typing, with or without other
tissue-specific markers, for determining the primary tissue source
of a metastatic tumor, disease diagnosis, and the like. These
assays provided the following results.

Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO846
[4410] A consensus sequence was obtained relative to a variety of
EST sequences as described in Example 1 above, wherein the
consensus sequence obtained is herein designated DNA39949. Based on
the DNA39949 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized:
1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO846.
[4411] Forward and reverse PCR primers were synthesized:
86 forward PCR primer 5 -CCCTGCAGTGCACCTACAGGGAAG-3 (SEQ ID NO:518)
reverse PCR primer 5 -CTGTCTTCCCCTGCTTGGCTGTGG-3 (SEQ ID
NO:519)
[4412] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the consensus DNA39949 sequence which
had the following nucleotide sequence
87 hybridization probe 5'-GGTGCAGGAAGGGTGGGATCCTCTTCTCTCGC-
TGCTCTGGCCACATC-3' (SEQ ID NO:520)
[4413] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with one of the PCR primer pairs identified above. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the
PRO846 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR
primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated
from human fetal kidney tissue (LIB227).
[4414] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO846 [herein designated as
DNA44196-1353] (SEQ ID NO:516) and the derived protein sequence for
PRO846.
[4415] The entire nucleotide sequence of UNQ422 (DNA44196-1353) is
shown in FIG. 329 (SEQ ID NO:516). Clone UNQ422 (DNA44196-1353)
contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational
initiation site at nucleotide positions 25-27 and ending at the
stop codon at nucleotide positions 1021-1023 (FIG. 329). The
predicted polypeptide precursor is 332 amino acids long (FIG. 330).
The full-length PRO846 protein shown in FIG. 330 has an estimated
molecular weight of about 36,143 daltons and a pI of about 5.89.
Important regions of the amino acid sequence of PRO846 include the
signal peptide, the transmembrane domain, an N-glycosylation site,
a sequence typical of fibrinogen beta and gamma chains C-terminal
domain, and a sequence typical of Ig like V-type domain as shown in
FIG. 330. Clone UNQ422 (DNA44196-1353) has been deposited with ATCC
and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209847.

Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO363
[4416] A consensus sequence was obtained relative to a variety of
EST sequences as described in Example I above, wherein the
consensus sequence obtained is herein designated DNA42828. Based on
the DNA42828 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized:
1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO363.
[4417] A pair of PCR primers (forward and reverse) were
synthesized:
88 forward PCR primer (42828.f1) 5'-CCAGTGCACAGCAGGCAACGAAG- C-3'
(SEQ ID NO:521) reverse PCR primer (42828.r1)
5'-ACTAGGCTGTATGCCTGGGTGGGC-3' (SEQ ID NO:522)
[4418] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the consensus DNA42828 sequence which
had the following nucleotide sequence
89 hybridization probe (42828.p1) 5'-GTATGTACAAAGCATCGGCATG-
GTTGCAGGAGCAGTGACAGGC-3' (SEQ ID NO:523)
[4419] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive
library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO363 gene
using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for
construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal
kidney tissue (LIB227).
[4420] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO363 [herein designated as
UNQ318 (DNA45419-1252)] (SEQ ID NO:500) and the derived protein
sequence for PRO363.
[4421] The entire nucleotide sequence of UNQ318 (DNA45419-1252) is
shown in FIG. 313 (SEQ ID NO:500). Clone UNQ318 (DNA45419-1252)
contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational
initiation site at nucleotide positions 190-192 and ending at the
stop codon at nucleotide positions 1309-1311 (FIG. 313). The
predicted polypeptide precursor is 373 amino acids long (FIG. 314).
The full-length PRO363 protein shown in FIG. 314 has an estimated
molecular weight of about 41,281 daltons and a pI of about 8.33. A
transmembrane domain exists at amino acids 221 to 254 of the amino
acid sequence shown in FIG. 314 (SEQ ID NO:501). The PRO363
polypeptide also possesses at least two myelin P0 protein domains
from about anino acids 15 to 56 and from about amino acids 87 to
116. Clone UNQ318 (DNA45419-1252) has been deposited with ATCC on
Feb. 5, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209616.
[4422] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO363 polypeptide suggests that it possesses significant sequence
similarity to the cell surface protein HCAR, thereby indicating
that PRO363 may be a novel HCAR homolog. More specifically, an
analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35)
evidenced significant homology between the PRO363 amino acid
sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences, HS46KDA.sub.--1,
HSU90716.sub.--1, MMCARH.sub.--1, MMCARHOM.sub.--1,
MMU90715.sub.--1, A33_HUMAN, P_W14146, P_W14158, A42632 and
B42632.
Example 175
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding a Human PRO9828
[4423] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other
nucleic sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This
consensus sequence is herein designated DNA139814. Based on the
DNA139814 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1)
to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO9828. Forward and reverse PCR
primers generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and are often
designed to give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in length. The
probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In some cases,
additional oligonucleotides are synthesized when the consensus
sequence is greater than about 1-1.5 kbp. In order to screen
several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries
was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al., Current
Protocols in Molecular Biologv, supra, with the PCR primer pair. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene
of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer
pairs.
[4424] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:
90 5'-AATCTCAGCACCAGCCACTCAGAGCA-3' (SEQ ID NO:524)
5'-GTTAAAGAGGGTGCCCTTCCAGCGA-3' (SEQ ID NO:525)
5'-TATCCCAATGCCTCCCCACTGCTC-3' (SEQ ID NO:526)
5'-GATGAACTTGGCGAAGGGGCGGCA-3' (SEQ ID NO:527)
[4425] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from
human fetal liver tissue. The cDNA libraries used to isolate the
cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially
available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif.
The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked
with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized
appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined
orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD;
pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site;
see, Holmes et al., Science, 253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique
XhoI and NotI sites.
[4426] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for a full-length PRO9828
polypeptide (designated herein as DNA142238-2768 [FIG. 323, SEQ ID
NO:510]) and the derived protein sequence for that PRO9828
polypeptide.
[4427] The full length clone identified above contained a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 232-234 and a stop signal at nucleotide
positions 985-987 (FIG. 323, SEQ ID NO:510). The predicted
polypeptide precursor is 251 amino acids long, has a calculated
molecular weight of approximately 27,954 daltons and an estimated
pI of approximately 9.22. Analysis of the full-length PRO9828
sequence shown in FIG. 324 (SEQ ID NO:511) evidences the presence
of a variety of important polypeptide domains as shown in FIG. 324,
wherein the locations given for those important polypeptide domains
are approximate as described above. Chromosome mapping evidences
that the PRO9828-encoding nucleic acid maps to chromosome 12pl3 in
humans. Clone DNA142238-2768 has been deposited with ATCC on Oct.
5, 1999 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 819-PTA.
[4428] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using the ALIGN-2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 324 (SEQ ID NO:511), evidenced
sequence identity between the PRO9828 amino acid sequence and the
following Dayhoff sequences: P_Y08581, AB018122.sub.--1,
FGF3_HUMAN, P_R70824, S54407, P_R80780, P_Y23761, P_W92312,
OMFGF6.sub.--1 and P_R80871.
Example 176
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding a Human PRO7170
[4429] DNA108722-2743 was identified by applying a proprietary
signal sequence finding algorithm developed by Genentech, Inc.
(South San Francisco, Calif.) upon ESTs as well as clustered and
assembled EST fragments from public (e.g., Genbank) and/or private
(LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Palo Alto, Calif.)
databases. The signal sequence algorithm computes a secretion
signal score based on the character of the DNA nucleotides
surrounding the first and optionally the second methionine codon(s)
(ATG) at the 5'-end of the sequence or sequence fragment under
consideration. The nucleotides following the first ATG must code
for at least 35 unambiguous amino acids without any stop codons. If
the first ATG has the required amino acids, the second is not
examined. If neither meets the requirement, the candidate sequence
is not scored. In order to determine whether the EST sequence
contains an authentic signal sequence, the DNA and corresponding
amino acid sequences surrounding the ATG codon are scored using a
set of seven sensors (evaluation parameters) known to be associated
with secretion signals.
[4430] Use of the above described signal sequence algorithm allowed
identification of an EST cluster sequence from the LIFESEQ.RTM.
database, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, designated herein as
CLU57836. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to a variety
of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST
databases (e.g., Genbank) and a proprietary EST DNA database
(LIFESEQ.RTM., Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to
identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed
using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al., Methods
in Enzymology 266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a
BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not
encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus
DNA sequence with the program "phrap" (Phil Green, University of
Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained
therefrom is herein designated DNA58756.
[4431] In light of an observed sequence homology between the
DNA58756 sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within clone no.
2251462 from the LIFESEQ.RTM. database, Incyte Pharmaceuticals,
Palo Alto, Calif., clone no. 2251462 was purchased and the cDNA
insert was obtained and sequenced. It was found herein that that
cDNA insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence of this
cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 325 and is herein designated as
DNA108722-2743.
[4432] Clone DNA 108722-2743 contains a single open reading frame
with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide
positions 60-62 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide
positions 1506-1508 (FIG. 325). The predicted polypeptide precursor
is 482 amino acids long (FIG. 326). The full-length PRO7170 protein
shown in FIG. 326 has an estimated molecular weight of about 49,060
daltons and a pI of about 4.74. Analysis of the full-length PRO7170
sequence shown in FIG. 326 (SEQ ID NO:513) evidences the presence
of a variety of important polypeptide domains as shown in FIG. 326,
wherein the locations given for those important polypeptide domains
are approximate as described above. Clone DNA108722-2743 has been
deposited with ATCC on Aug. 17, 1999 and is assigned ATCC Deposit
No. 552-PTA.
[4433] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt
35), using the ALIGN-2 sequence alignment analysis of the
full-length sequence shown in FIG. 326 (SEQ ID NO:513), evidenced
sequence identity between the PRO7170 amino acid sequence and the
following Dayhoff sequences: P_Y12291, I47141, D88733.sub.--1,
DMC56G7.sub.--1, P_Y11606, HWP1_CANAL, HSMUC5BEX.sub.--1,
HSU78550.sub.--1, HSU70136.sub.--1, and SGS3_DROME.
Example 177
Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO36
[4434] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST
sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This
consensus sequence is herein designated DNA40654. Based on the
DNA40654 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1)
to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of
interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the
full-length coding sequence for PRO361.
[4435] Forward and reverse PCR primers were synthesized as
follows:
91 forward PCR primer 5'-AGGGAGGATTATCCTTGACCTTTGAAGACC-3' (SEQ ID
NO:528) forward PCR primer 5'-GAAGCAAGTGCCCAGCTC-3' (SEQ ID NO:529)
forward PCR primer 5'-CGGGTCCCTGCTCTTTGG-3' (SEQ ID NO:530) reverse
PCR primer 5'-CACCGTAGCTGGGAGCGCACTCAC-3' (SEQ ID NO:531) reverse
PCR primer 5'-AGTGTAAGTCAAGCTCCC-3' (SEQ ID NO:532)
[4436] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization
probe was constructed from the consensus DNA40654 sequence which
had the following nucleotide sequence
92 hybridization probe 5'-GCTTCCTGACACTAAGGCTGTCTGCTAGTCAGA-
ATTGCCTCAAAAAGAG-3' (SEQ ID NO:533)
[4437] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a
full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR
amplification with one of the PCR primer pairs identified above. A
positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the
PRO361 gene using the probe oligonucleotide. RNA for construction
of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal kidney
tissue.
[4438] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above
gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO361 [herein designated as
DNA45410-1250] (SEQ ID NO:514) and the derived protein sequence for
PRO361.
[4439] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA45410-1250 is shown in
FIG. 327 (SEQ ID NO:514). Clone DNA45410-1250 contains a single
open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site
at nucleotide positions 226-228 and ending at the stop codon at
nucleotide positions 1519-1521 (FIG. 327). The predicted
polypeptide precursor is 431 amino acids long (FIG. 328). The
full-length PRO361 protein shown in FIG. 328 has an estimated
molecular weight of about 46,810 daltons and a pI of about 6.45. In
addition, regions of interest including the transmembrane domain
(amino acids 380-409) and sequences typical of the arginase family
of proteins (amino acids 3-14 and 39-57) are designated in FIG.
328. Clone DNA45410-1250 has been deposited with ATCC and is
assigned ATCC deposit no. ATCC 209621.
[4440] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length
PRO361 polypeptide suggests that portions of it possess significant
homology to the mucin and/or chitinase proteins, thereby indicating
that PRO361 may be a novel mucin and/or chitinase protein.

whichever comes first, and assures availability of the progeny to
one determined by the U.S. Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks
to be entitled thereto according to 35 USC .sctn.122 and the
Commissioner's rules pursuant thereto (including 37 CFR .sctn.1.14
with particular reference to 886 OG 638).
[4445] The assignee of the present application has agreed that if a
culture of the materials on deposit should die or be lost or
destroyed when cultivated under suitable conditions, the materials
will be promptly replaced on notification with another of the same.
Availability of the deposited material is not to be construed as a
license to practice the invention in contravention of the rights
granted under the authority of any government in accordance with
its patent laws.
[4446] The foregoing written specification is considered to be
sufficient to enable one skilled in the art to practice the
invention. The present invention is not to be limited in scope by
the construct deposited, since the deposited embodiment is intended
as a single illustration of certain aspects of the invention and
any constructs that are functionally equivalent are within the
scope of this invention. The deposit of material herein does not
constitute an admission that the written description herein
contained is inadequate to enable the practice of any aspect of the
invention, including the best mode thereof, nor is it to be
construed as limiting the scope of the claims to the specific
illustrations that it represents. Indeed, various modifications of
the invention in addition to those shown and described herein will
become apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing
description and fall within the scope of the appended claims.
