Targeted Therapeutic Lysosomal Enzyme Fusion Proteins and Uses Thereof

摘要

The present invention relates in general to therapeutic fusion proteins useful to treat lysosomal storage diseases and methods for treating such diseases. Exemplary therapeutic fusion proteins comprise a lysosomal enzyme, a lysosomal targeting moiety, e.g., an IGF-II peptide, and a spacer peptide. Also provided are compositions and methods for treating Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB (Sanfilippo B Syndrome), comprising a targeted therapeutic fusion protein comprising alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (Naglu), a lysosomal targeting moiety, e.g., an IGF-II peptide, and a spacer peptide.

主权项

1. A targeted therapeutic fusion protein comprising (a) a lysosomal enzyme, (b) a peptide tag having an amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to amino acids 8-67 of mature human IGF-II and (c) a spacer peptide between the lysosomal enzyme and the IGF-II peptide tag, wherein the spacer peptide comprises the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 55.
