| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Attachment of a bacterial albumin-binding protein module is an attractive strategy for extending the plasma residence time of protein therapeutics. However, a protein fused with such a bacterial module could induce unfavorable immune reactions. To address this, we designed an alternative binding protein by imparting albumin-binding affinity to a human protein using molecular surface grafting. One of the designed proteins using human-derived 6 helix-bundle scaffold specifically binds to human serum albumin with adequate affinity. Despite 13-15 mutations, the designed proteins maintain the original secondary structure by virtue of careful grafting based on structural informatics. Competitive binding assays and thermodynamic analyses of the best binders show that the binding mode resembles that of the original bacterial protein module, suggesting that the contacting surface is mimicked well on the designed protein.
