DiMProTM全长膜蛋白
跨膜蛋白及药物研发
跨膜蛋白作为细胞膜的重要组成部分, 在物质运输、信号转导和细胞间识别等多种细胞功能中发挥着重要作用。其功能异常往往会导致疾病的发生,这使它们成为理想的药物作用靶点。目前以跨膜蛋白为药物靶点占现阶段己知药物靶点的60%以上。而针对抗体药靶点,膜蛋白几乎占90%以上。

抗原制备
尽管有着重大的意义,针对跨膜蛋白的药物开发仍然具有很大的挑战性,主要是因为跨膜蛋白的疏水结构,使得其在体外很难以可溶性蛋白形式保持其天然构象,同时全长多跨膜蛋白通常表达水平较低,这些都是跨膜蛋白表达的难点所在。如何获得最为天然构象和具有功能活性的膜蛋白是开发这一类靶点抗体药物的核心所在。目前针对跨膜蛋白靶点,其抗原开发策略及相关问题如下:
1、表达胞外结构域(ECD):表达胞外N端或LOOP区结构域的方法简单,并且相对而言有较高的表达量,是行之有效的方法之一。但是对于多跨膜蛋白而言,表达蛋白胞外区的方式很难模拟蛋白的天然构象,可能造成一些抗原表位(比如构象表位)的遗失,也有可能对蛋白活性有一定的影响。
2、全细胞:全细胞免疫被广泛用于针对跨膜蛋白的抗体制备。目标膜蛋白保持了自己的天然构象和修饰,具有高免疫原性,不需要复杂的纯化步骤。然而,全细胞成分较复杂,包含胞浆等多种杂蛋白组分,容易产生针对该细胞的非特异性抗体,特别是针对大量的胞内蛋白。
3、全长膜蛋白:具有天然构象的全长膜蛋白无疑是跨膜蛋白药物开发中的最佳抗原。然而全长膜蛋白在细胞中的表达水平通常比较低,而且不容易被分离纯化成为可溶性抗原。如何获得背景干净的富含靶点膜蛋白的可溶性抗原一直是抗体药研究的热点课题,也是缔码生物长期以来专注的研究方向。
为助力药物研发,解决跨膜蛋白靶点开发过程中抗原制备的难题,缔码生物专门搭建了多个跨膜蛋白全长表达平台。其中,纳米膜颗粒(MNP)平台是缔码生物主推的平台,它与病毒样颗粒(VLP)、外泌体(EXO)、去垢剂(Detergent)和合成纳米盘(Synthetic Nanodisc)平台一起,是缔码现有的5大全长膜蛋白制备平台。
