[0002] The ability of Clostridial toxins, such as, e.g., Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), BoNT/A, BoNT/B, BoNT/C1, BoNT/D, BoNT/E, BoNT/F and BoNT/G, and Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT), to inhibit neuronal transmission are being exploited in a wide variety of therapeutic and cosmetic applications, see e.g., William J. Lipham, COSMETIC AND CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF BOTULINUM TOXIN (Slack, Inc., 2004). Clostridial toxins commercially available as pharmaceutical compositions include, BoNT/A preparations, such as, e.g., BOTOX.RTM. (Allergan, Inc., Irvine, Calif.), DYSPORT.RTM./RELOXIN.RTM., (Beaufour Ipsen, Porton Down, England), NEURONOX.RTM. (Medy-Tox, Inc., Ochang-myeon, South Korea) BTX-A (Lanzhou Institute Biological Products, China) and XEOMIN.RTM. (Merz Pharmaceuticals, GmbH., Frankfurt, Germany); and BoNT/B preparations, such as, e.g., MYOBLOC.TM./NEUROBLOC.TM. (Elan Pharmaceuticals, San Francisco, Calif.). As an example, BOTOX.RTM. is currently approved in one or more countries for the following indications: achalasia, adult spasticity, anal fissure, back pain, blepharospasm, bruxism, cervical dystonia, essential tremor, glabellar lines or hyperkinetic facial lines, headache, hemifacial spasm, hyperactivity of bladder, hyperhidrosis, juvenile cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, myoclonic disorders, nasal labial lines, spasmodic dysphonia, strabismus and VII nerve disorder.
[0003] A Clostridial toxin treatment inhibits neurotransmitter release by disrupting the exocytotic process used to secrete the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. There is a great desire by the pharmaceutical industry to expand the use of Clostridial toxin therapies beyond its current myo-relaxant applications to treat sensory nerve-based ailments, such as, e.g., various kinds of chronic pain, neurogenic inflammation and urogenital disorders, as well as other disorders, such as, e.g., pancreatitis. One approach that is currently being exploited to expand Clostridial toxin-based therapies involves modifying a Clostridial toxin so that the modified toxin has an altered cell targeting capability for a non-Clostridial toxin target cell. This re-targeted capability is achieved by replacing a naturally-occurring targeting domain of a Clostridial toxin with a targeting domain showing a preferential binding activity for a non-Clostridial toxin receptor present in a non-Clostridial toxin target cell. Such modifications to a targeting domain result in a Clostridial toxin chimeric called a Targeted Vesicular Exocytosis Modulating Protein (TVEMP) that is able to selectively bind to a non-Clostridial toxin receptor (target receptor) present on a non-Clostridial toxin target cell (re-targeted). A Clostridial toxin chimeric with a targeting activity for a non-Clostridial toxin target cell can bind to a receptor present on the non-Clostridial toxin target cell, translocate into the cytoplasm, and exert its proteolytic effect on the SNARE complex of the non-Clostridial toxin target cell.
[0004] Clostridial toxin and Clostridial toxin chimeric therapies are successfully used for many indications. Generally, administration of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric is well tolerated. However, administration in some applications can be challenging because of the larger doses required to achieve a beneficial effect. Larger doses can increase the likelihood that the toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric may move through the interstitial fluids and the circulatory systems, such as, e.g., the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system, of the body, resulting in the undesirable dispersal of the toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric to areas not targeted for treatment. Such dispersal can lead to undesirable side effects, such as, e.g., inhibition of neurotransmitter release in neurons not targeted for toxin treatment or paralysis of a muscle not targeted for treatment. For example, a patient administered a therapeutically effective amount of a BoNT/A treatment into the neck muscles for torticollis may develop dysphagia because of dispersal of the toxin into the oropharynx. Thus, there remains a need for improved Clostridial toxins and/or Clostridial toxin chimeras that are effective at the site of treatment, but have negligible to minimal effects in areas not targeted for toxin treatment.
[0005] The growing clinical, therapeutic, and cosmetic use of Clostridial toxins and Clostridial toxin chimeras in therapies requiring larger doses necessitates the pharmaceutical industry to develop modified Clostridial toxins and Clostridial toxin chimeras that are effective at the target site of application, but reduce or prevent the possible side-effects associated with the dispersal of the toxins to an unwanted location. The present specification provides novel modified Clostridial toxins and Clostridial toxin chimeras that reduce or prevent unwanted side-effects associated with toxin dispersal into non-targeted areas. These and related advantages are useful for various clinical, therapeutic and cosmetic applications, such as, e.g., the treatment of neuromuscular disorders, neuropathic disorders, eye disorders, pain, muscle injuries, headache, cardiovascular diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders, endocrine disorders, cancers, otic disorders and hyperkinetic facial lines, as well as, other disorders where a Clostridial toxin or a Clostridial toxin chimeric administration to a mammal can produce a beneficial effect.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0006] FIGS. 1A and 1B show a schematic of the current paradigm of neurotransmitter release and Clostridial toxin intoxication in a central and peripheral neuron. FIG. 1A shows a schematic for the neurotransmitter release mechanism of a central and peripheral neuron. The release process can be described as comprising two steps: 1) vesicle docking, where the vesicle-bound SNARE protein of a vesicle containing neurotransmitter molecules associates with the membrane-bound SNARE proteins located at the plasma membrane; and 2) neurotransmitter release, where the vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane and the neurotransmitter molecules are exocytosed. FIG. 1B shows a schematic of the intoxication mechanism for tetanus and botulinum toxin activity in a central and peripheral neuron. This intoxication process can be described as comprising four steps: 1) receptor binding, where a Clostridial toxin binds to a Clostridial receptor system and initiates the intoxication process; 2) complex internalization, where after toxin binding, a vesicle containing the toxin/receptor system complex is endocytosed into the cell; 3) light chain translocation, where multiple events are thought to occur, including, e.g., changes in the internal pH of the vesicle, formation of a channel pore comprising the H.sub.N domain of the Clostridial toxin heavy chain, separation of the Clostridial toxin light chain from the heavy chain, and release of the active light chain and 4) enzymatic target modification, where the activate light chain of Clostridial toxin proteolytically cleaves its target SNARE substrate, such as, e.g., SNAP-25, VAMP or Syntaxin, thereby preventing vesicle docking and neurotransmitter release.
[0007] FIG. 2 shows the domain organization of naturally-occurring Clostridial toxins. The single-chain form depicts the amino to carboxyl linear organization comprising an enzymatic domain, a translocation domain, and a binding domain. The di-chain loop region located between the translocation and enzymatic domains is depicted by the double SS bracket. This region comprises an endogenous di-chain loop protease cleavage site that upon proteolytic cleavage with a naturally-occurring protease, such as, e.g., an endogenous Clostridial toxin protease or a naturally-occurring protease produced in the environment, converts the single-chain form of the toxin into the di-chain form. Above the single-chain form, the H.sub.CC region of the Clostridial toxin binding domain is depicted. This region comprises the n-trefoil domain which comprises in an amino to carboxyl linear organization an .alpha.-fold, a .beta.4/.beta.5 hairpin turn, a .beta.-fold, a .beta.8/.beta.9 hairpin turn, and a .gamma.-fold.
[0008] FIGS. 3A and 3B show Clostridial toxins or Clostridial toxin chimeras with a binding domain located at the amino terminus of the toxin. FIG. 3A depicts the single-chain polypeptide form of a toxin or chimera with an amino to carboxyl linear organization comprising a binding element, a translocation element, a di-chain loop region comprising an exogenous protease cleavage site (P), and a therapeutic element. Upon proteolytic cleavage with a P protease, the single-chain form of the toxin or chimera is converted to the di-chain form. FIG. 3B depicts the single polypeptide form of a toxin or chimera with an amino to carboxyl linear organization comprising a binding element, a therapeutic element, a di-chain loop region comprising an exogenous protease cleavage site (P), and a translocation element. Upon proteolytic cleavage with a P protease, the single-chain form of the toxin or chimera is converted to the di-chain form.

FIG. 4A depicts the single polypeptide form of a toxin or chimera with an amino to carboxyl linear organization comprising a therapeutic element, a di-chain loop region comprising an exogenous protease cleavage site (P), a binding element, and a translocation element. Upon proteolytic cleavage with a P protease, the single-chain form of the toxin or chimera is converted to the di-chain form. FIG. 4B depicts the single polypeptide form of a toxin or chimera with an amino to carboxyl linear organization comprising a translocation element, a di-chain loop region comprising an exogenous protease cleavage site (P), a binding element, and a therapeutic element. Upon proteolytic cleavage with a P protease, the single-chain form of the toxin or chimera is converted to the di-chain form.
[0010] FIG. 4C depicts the single polypeptide form of a toxin or chimera with an amino to carboxyl linear organization comprising a therapeutic element, a binding element, a di-chain loop region comprising an exogenous protease cleavage site (P), and a translocation element. Upon proteolytic cleavage with a P protease, the single-chain form of the toxin or chimera is converted to the di-chain form. FIG. 4D depicts the single polypeptide form of a toxin or chimera with an amino to carboxyl linear organization comprising a translocation element, a binding element, a di-chain loop region comprising an exogenous protease cleavage site (P), and a therapeutic element. Upon proteolytic cleavage with a P protease, the single-chain form of the toxin or chimera is converted to the di-chain form.
[0011] FIGS. 5A and 5B show Clostridial toxins or Clostridial toxin chimeras with a binding domain located at the amino terminus of the toxin.

FIG. 5B depicts the single polypeptide form of a toxin or chimera with an amino to carboxyl linear organization comprising a translocation element, a di-chain loop region comprising an exogenous protease cleavage site (P), a therapeutic element, and a binding element. Upon proteolytic cleavage with a P protease, the single-chain form of the toxin or chimera is converted to the di-chain form.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0012] The present specification discloses modified Clostridial toxins and modified Clostridial toxin chimeras that can be rapidly inactivated from an unwanted location or locations by exploiting the presence of proteases present in interstitial fluids and circulatory systems, such as, e.g., the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system. This is because the modified Clostridial toxins and modified Clostridial toxin chimeras disclosed in the present specification comprise a protease cleavage site for a protease present in an interstitial fluid and/or a circulatory system. The presence of such a protease cleavage site makes the modified Clostridial toxin or modified Clostridial toxin chimeric susceptible to proteolytic cleavage by its cognate protease, which renders such modified toxins inactive. For example, in situations where a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric modified to comprise a cleavage site for an extracellular matrix protease has diffused into the interstitial fluid, this modified toxin or modified Clostridial toxin chimeric can be effectively cleaved by the cognate extracellular matrix protease. As another example, in situations where a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric modified to comprise a cleavage site for a blood protease has diffused into the cardiovascular system, this modified toxin or modified Clostridial toxin chimeric can be effectively cleaved by the cognate blood protease. As yet another example, in situations where a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric modified to comprise a cleavage site for a lymphatic protease has diffused into the lymphatic system, this modified toxin or modified Clostridial toxin chimeric can be effectively cleaved by the cognate lymphatic protease. Thus utilizing a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising a cleavage site(s) for proteases present the interstitial fluid and/or circulatory system will lessen or remove such Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric from an unwanted location, thereby reducing or preventing the undesirable side-effects associated with the diffusion of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric to an unwanted location.
[0013] Thus, aspects of the present specification provide a Clostridial toxin comprising an inactivation cleavage site located within an inactivation cleavage site region, wherein the inactivation cleavage site region is located in the translocation domain or the H.sub.CN binding subdomain. Such disclosed toxins can comprise a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain, a Clostridial toxin translocation domain, a Clostridial toxin binding domain, a di-chain loop region comprising an exogenous protease cleavage site, and an inactivation cleavage site located within an inactivation cleavage site region. Non-limiting examples of inactivation cleavage sites include Thrombin cleavage sites, Plasmin cleavage sites, Coagulation Factor VIIa cleavage sites, Coagulation Factor IXa cleavage sites, Coagulation Factor Xa cleavage sites, Coagulation Factor XIa cleavage sites, Coagulation Factor XIIa cleavage sites, plasma kallikrein cleavage sites, protease-activated G protein-coupled receptor-1 (PAR1) cleavage sites, PAR2 cleavage sites, PAR3 cleavage sites, PAR4 cleavage sites, Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) cleavage sites, Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) cleavage sites, Furin cleavage sites, urokinase-type Plasminogen activator (uPA) cleavage sites, tissue-type Plasminogen activator (tPA) cleavage sites, Tryptase-.epsilon. cleavage sites, Mouse mast cell protease-7 (mMCP-7) cleavage sites, endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1) cleavage sites, Kell blood group cleavage sites, DPPIV cleavage sites, ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif-13 (ADAMTS13) cleavage sites, and Cathepsin L cleavage sites. The addition of the inactivation cleavage site increases the safety margin of the Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric relative to the same or similar Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric, but without the additional inactivation cleavage site.

Such disclosed toxins can comprise a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain, a Clostridial toxin translocation domain, a non-Clostridial toxin binding domain, a di-chain loop region comprising an exogenous protease cleavage site, and an inactivation cleavage site located within an inactivation cleavage site region.

[0018] Clostridia toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium tetani, Clostridium baratii and Clostridium butyricum are the most widely used in therapeutic and cosmetic treatments of humans and other mammals. Strains of C. botulinum produce seven antigenically-distinct types of Botulinum toxins (BoNTs), which have been identified by investigating botulism outbreaks in man (BoNT/A, /B, /E and /F), animals (BoNT/C1 and/D), or isolated from soil (BoNT/G). BoNTs possess approximately 35% amino acid identity with each other and share the same functional domain organization and overall structural architecture. It is recognized by those of skill in the art that within each type of Clostridial toxin there can be subtypes which differ somewhat in their amino acid sequence, and also in the nucleic acids encoding these proteins. For example, there are presently five BoNT/A subtypes, BoNT/A1, BoNT/A2, BoNT/A3, BoNT/A4, and BoNT/A5, with specific subtypes showing about 84% to 93% amino acid identity when compared to the BoNT/A subtype of SEQ ID NO: 1. As another example, there are presently five BoNT/B subtypes, BoNT/B1, BoNT/B2, BoNT/B3, BoNT/Bnp, and BoNT/Bbv, with specific subtypes showing about 93% to 96% amino acid identity when compared to the BoNT/B subtype of SEQ ID NO: 6. As yet another example, there are presently three BoNT/E subtypes, BoNT/E1, BoNT/E2, and BoNT/E3, with specific subtypes showing about 95% to 99% amino acid identity when compared to the BoNT/E subtype of SEQ ID NO: 15. While all seven BoNT serotypes have similar structure and pharmacological properties, each also displays heterogeneous bacteriological characteristics. In contrast, tetanus toxin (TeNT) is produced by a uniform group of C. tetani. Two other Clostridia species, C. baratii and C. butyricum, produce toxins, BaNT and BuNT, which are similar to BoNT/F and BoNT/E, respectively.
[0019] Clostridial toxins are each translated as a single chain polypeptide of approximately 150 kDa that is subsequently cleaved by proteolytic scission within a disulfide loop by a naturally-occurring protease (FIG. 1). This cleavage occurs within the discrete di-chain loop region created between two cysteine residues that form a disulfide bridge. This posttranslational processing yields a di-chain molecule comprising an approximately 50 kDa light chain (LC) and an approximately 100 kDa heavy chain (HC) held together by the single disulfide bond and non-covalent interactions between the two chains. The naturally-occurring protease used to convert the single chain molecule into the di-chain is currently not known. In some serotypes, such as, e.g., BoNT/A, the naturally-occurring protease is produced endogenously by the bacteria serotype and cleavage occurs within the cell before the toxin is released into the environment. However, in other serotypes, such as, e.g., BoNT/E, the bacterial strain appears not to produce an endogenous protease capable of converting the single chain form of the toxin into the di-chain form. In these situations, the toxin is released from the cell as a single-chain toxin which is subsequently converted into the di-chain form by a naturally-occurring protease found in the environment.
[0020] Each mature di-chain molecule comprises three functionally distinct domains: 1) an enzymatic domain located in the LC that includes a metalloprotease region containing a zinc-dependent endopeptidase activity which specifically targets core components of the neurotransmitter release apparatus; 2) a translocation domain contained within the amino-terminal half of the HC (H.sub.N) that facilitates release of the LC from intracellular vesicles into the cytoplasm of the target cell; and 3) a binding domain found within the carboxyl-terminal half of the HC (H.sub.C) that determines the binding activity and binding specificity of the toxin to the receptor complex located at the surface of the target cell. D. B. Lacy and R. C. Stevens, Sequence Homology and Structural Analysis of the Clostridial Neurotoxins, J. Mol. Biol. 291: 1091-1104 (1999). The H.sub.C domain comprises two distinct structural features of roughly equal size, separated by an .alpha.-helix, designated the H.sub.CN and H.sub.CC subdomains. Table 1 gives approximate boundary regions for each domain and subdomain found in exemplary Clostridial toxins.

[0021] The binding, translocation, and enzymatic activity of these three functional domains are all necessary for toxicity. While all details of this process are not yet precisely known, the overall cellular intoxication mechanism whereby Clostridial toxins enter a neuron and inhibit neurotransmitter release is similar, regardless of serotype or subtype. Although the applicants have no wish to be limited by the following description, the intoxication mechanism can be described as comprising at least four steps: 1) receptor binding, 2) complex internalization, 3) light chain translocation, and 4) enzymatic target modification (FIG. 3). The process is initiated when the H.sub.C domain of a Clostridial toxin binds to a toxin-specific receptor system located on the plasma membrane surface of a target cell. The binding specificity of a receptor complex is thought to be achieved, in part, by specific combinations of gangliosides and protein receptors that appear to distinctly comprise each Clostridial toxin receptor complex. Once bound, the toxin/receptor complexes are internalized by endocytosis and the internalized vesicles are sorted to specific intracellular routes. The translocation step appears to be triggered by the acidification of the vesicle compartment. This process seems to initiate two important pH-dependent structural rearrangements that increase hydrophobicity and promote formation di-chain form of the toxin. Once activated, light chain endopeptidase of the toxin is released from the intracellular vesicle into the cytosol where it appears to specifically target one of three known core components of the neurotransmitter release apparatus. These core proteins, vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/synaptobrevin, synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) and Syntaxin, are necessary for synaptic vesicle docking and fusion at the nerve terminal and constitute members of the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein-receptor (SNARE) family. BoNT/A and BoNT/E cleave SNAP-25 in the carboxyl-terminal region, releasing a nine or twenty-six amino acid segment, respectively, and BoNT/C1 also cleaves SNAP-25 near the carboxyl-terminus. The botulinum serotypes BoNT/B, BoNT/D, BoNT/F and BoNT/G, and tetanus toxin, act on the conserved central portion of VAMP, and release the amino-terminal portion of VAMP into the cytosol. BoNT/C1 cleaves syntaxin at a single site near the cytosolic membrane surface. The selective proteolysis of synaptic SNAREs accounts for the block of neurotransmitter release caused by Clostridial toxins in vivo. The SNARE protein targets of Clostridial toxins are common to exocytosis in a variety of non-neuronal types; in these cells, as in neurons, light chain peptidase activity inhibits exocytosis, see, e.g., Yann Humeau et al., How Botulinum and Tetanus Neurotoxins Block Neurotransmitter Release, 82(5) Biochimie. 427-446 (2000); Kathryn Turton et al., Botulinum and Tetanus Neurotoxins: Structure, Function and Therapeutic Utility, 27(11) Trends Biochem. Sci. 552-558. (2002); Giovanna Lalli et al., The Journey of Tetanus and Botulinum Neurotoxins in Neurons, 11(9) Trends Microbiol. 431-437, (2003).
[0022] The three-dimensional crystal structures of BoNT/A, BoNT/B and the H.sub.C domain of TeNT indicate that the three functional domains of Clostridial neurotoxins are structurally distinct domains that are shared by all Clostridial toxins. The HEXXH consensus motif of the light chain forms the tetrahedral zinc binding pocket of the catalytic site located in a deep cleft on the protein surface that is accessible by a channel. The structure of the H.sub.N and H.sub.C domains consists primarily of .beta.-sheet topologies that are linked by a single .alpha.-helix. The cylindrical-shaped H.sub.N domain comprises two long amphipathic .alpha.-helices that resemble the coiled-coil motif found in some viral proteins. The H.sub.N domain also forms a long unstructured loop called the `translocation belt,` which wraps around a large negatively charged cleft of the light chain that blocks access of the zinc atom to the catalytic-binding pocket of active site. The H.sub.C domain comprises two distinct structural features of roughly equal size that indicate function. The first, designated the H.sub.CN domain, is located in the amino half of the H.sub.C domain. The H.sub.CN domain forms a .beta.-barrel, jelly-roll fold. The H.sub.CC domain is the second domain that comprises the H.sub.C domain. This carboxyl-terminal domain comprises a modified .beta.-trefoil domain which forms three distinct carbohydrate binding regions that resembles the carbohydrate binding moiety found in many sugar-binding proteins, such as, e.g., serum amyloid P, sialidase, cryia, insecticidal .differential.-endotoxin and lectins. Biochemical studies indicate that the .beta.-trefoil domain structure of the H.sub.CC domain appears to mediate the binding to specific carbohydrate containing components of the Clostridial toxin receptor on the cell surface, see, e.g., Krzysztof Ginalski et al., Structure-based Sequence Alignment for the Beta-Trefoil Subdomain of the Clostridial Neurotoxin Family Provides Residue Level Information About the Putative Ganglioside Binding Site, 482(1-2) FEBS Lett. 119-124 (2000). The H.sub.C domain tilts away from the H.sub.N domain exposing the surface loops and making them accessible for binding. No contacts occur between the light chain and the H.sub.C domain.
[0023] Aspects of the present specification provide, in part, a Clostridial toxin. As used herein, the term "Clostridial toxin" refers to any neurotoxin produced by a Clostridial toxin strain that can execute the overall cellular mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin intoxicates a cell and encompasses the binding of a Clostridial toxin to a low or high affinity receptor complex, the internalization of the toxin/receptor complex, the translocation of the Clostridial toxin light chain into the cytoplasm and the enzymatic modification of a Clostridial toxin substrate. A Clostridial toxin comprises a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain, a Clostridial toxin translocation domain, and a Clostridial toxin binding domain. Exemplary Clostridial toxins include those produced by a Clostridium botulinum, a Clostridium tetani, a Clostridium baratii and a Clostridium butyricum.
[0024] A Clostridial toxin includes, without limitation, naturally occurring Clostridial toxin variants, such as, e.g., Clostridial toxin isoforms and Clostridial toxin subtypes; non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin variants, such as, e.g., conservative Clostridial toxin variants, non-conservative Clostridial toxin variants, and active Clostridial toxin fragments thereof, or any combination thereof.

[0025] As used herein, the term "naturally occurring Clostridial toxin variant" refers to any Clostridial toxin produced without the aid of any human manipulation, including, without limitation, Clostridial toxin isoforms produced from alternatively-spliced transcripts, Clostridial toxin isoforms produced by spontaneous mutation and Clostridial toxin subtypes.

[0026] As used herein, the term "non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin variant" refers to any Clostridial toxin produced with the aid of human manipulation, including, without limitation, Clostridial toxins produced by genetic engineering using random mutagenesis or rational design and Clostridial toxins produced by chemical synthesis. Non-limiting examples of non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin variants include, e.g., conservative Clostridial toxin variants, non-conservative Clostridial toxin variants, and active Clostridial toxin fragments.
[0027] As used herein, the term "conservative Clostridial toxin variant" refers to a Clostridial toxin that has at least one amino acid substituted by another amino acid or an amino acid analog that has at least one property similar to that of the original amino acid from the reference Clostridial toxin sequence (Table 1). Examples of properties include, without limitation, similar size, topography, charge, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, lipophilicity, covalent-bonding capacity, hydrogen-bonding capacity, a physicochemical property, of the like, or any combination thereof. A conservative Clostridial toxin variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin on which the conservative Clostridial toxin variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin in any aspect of the present specification. A conservative Clostridial toxin variant may substitute 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 or more amino acids from the reference Clostridial toxin on which the conservative Clostridial toxin variant is based. A conservative Clostridial toxin variant can also substitute at least 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 contiguous amino acids from the reference Clostridial toxin on which the conservative Clostridial toxin variant is based. Non-limiting examples of a conservative Clostridial toxin variant include, e.g., conservative BoNT/A variants, conservative BoNT/B variants, conservative BoNT/C1 variants, conservative BoNT/D variants, conservative BoNT/E variants, conservative BoNT/F variants, conservative BoNT/G variants, conservative TeNT variants, conservative BaNT variants and conservative BuNT variants.
[0028] As used herein, the term "non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant" refers to a Clostridial toxin in which 1) at least one amino acid is deleted from the reference Clostridial toxin on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant is based; 2) at least one amino acid added to the reference Clostridial toxin on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin is based; or 3) at least one amino acid is substituted by another amino acid or an amino acid analog that does not share any property similar to that of the original amino acid from the reference Clostridial toxin sequence (Table 1). A non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin in any aspect of the present specification. A non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant can delete one or more amino acids, two or more amino acids, three or more amino acids, four or more amino acids, five or more amino acids, and ten or more amino acids from the reference Clostridial toxin on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant is based. A non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant can add one or more amino acids, two or more amino acids, three or more amino acids, four or more amino acids, five or more amino acids, and ten or more amino acids to the reference Clostridial toxin on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant is based. A non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant may substitute 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 or more amino acids from the reference Clostridial toxin on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant is based. A non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant can also substitute at least 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 contiguous amino acids from the reference Clostridial toxin on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant is based. Non-limiting examples of a non-conservative Clostridial toxin variant include, e.g., non-conservative BoNT/A variants, non-conservative BoNT/B variants, non-conservative BoNT/C1 variants, non-conservative BoNT/D variants, non-conservative BoNT/E variants, non-conservative BoNT/F variants, non-conservative BoNT/G variants, non-conservative TeNT variants, non-conservative BaNT variants and non-conservative BuNT variants.
[0029] It is also envisioned that any of a variety of Clostridial toxin fragments can be useful in aspects of the present specification with the proviso that these active fragments can execute the overall cellular mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin proteolytically cleaves a substrate. Thus, aspects of this embodiment can include Clostridial toxin fragments having a length of, e.g., at least 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, or at least 1200 amino acids. Other aspects of this embodiment, can include Clostridial toxin fragments having a length of, e.g., at most 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, or at most 1200 amino acids.
[0030] It is also envisioned that any of a variety of Clostridial toxin fragments comprising the light chain can be useful in aspects of the present specification with the proviso that these light chain fragments can specifically target the core components of the neurotransmitter release apparatus and thus participate in executing the overall cellular mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin proteolytically cleaves a substrate. The light chains of Clostridial toxins are approximately 420-460 amino acids in length and comprise a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain (Table 1). Research has shown that the entire length of a Clostridial toxin light chain is not necessary for the enzymatic activity of the Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain. As a non-limiting example, the first eight amino acids of a BoNT/A light chain are not required for enzymatic activity. As another non-limiting example, the first eight amino acids of the TeNT light chain are not required for enzymatic activity. Likewise, the carboxyl-terminus of the light chain is not necessary for activity. As a non-limiting example, the last 32 amino acids of the BoNT/A light chain are not required for enzymatic activity. As another non-limiting example, the last 31 amino acids of the TeNT light chain are not required for enzymatic activity. Thus, aspects of this embodiment include a Clostridial toxin light chain comprising a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain having a length of, e.g., at least 350, 375, 400, 425, or 450 amino acids. Other aspects of this embodiment include a Clostridial toxin light chain comprising a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain having a length of, e.g., at most 350, 375, 400, 425, or 450 amino acids.
[0031] It is also envisioned that any of a variety of Clostridial toxin H.sub.N regions comprising a Clostridial toxin translocation domain can be useful in aspects of the present specification with the proviso that these active fragments can facilitate the release of the LC from intracellular vesicles into the cytoplasm of the target cell and thus participate in executing the overall cellular mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin proteolytically cleaves a substrate. The H.sub.N regions from the heavy chains of Clostridial toxins are approximately 410-430 amino acids in length and comprise a Clostridial toxin translocation domain (Table 1). Research has shown that the entire length of a H.sub.N region from a Clostridial toxin heavy chain is not necessary for the translocating activity of the Clostridial toxin translocation domain. Thus, aspects of this embodiment can include Clostridial toxin H.sub.N regions comprising a Clostridial toxin translocation domain having a length of, e.g., at least 350, 375, 400, or 425 amino acids. Other aspects of this embodiment can include Clostridial toxin H.sub.N regions comprising Clostridial toxin translocation domain having a length of, e.g., at most 350, 375, 400, or 425 amino acids.
[0032] It is also envisioned that any of a variety of Clostridial toxin H.sub.C regions comprising a Clostridial toxin binding domain can be useful in aspects of the present specification with the proviso that these active fragments can determine the binding activity and binding specificity of the toxin to the receptor complex located at the surface of the target cell and facilitate the overall cellular mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin proteolytically cleaves a substrate. The H.sub.C regions from the heavy chains of Clostridial toxins are approximately 400-440 amino acids in length and comprise a binding domain (Table 1). Research has shown that the entire length of a H.sub.C region from a Clostridial toxin heavy chain is not necessary for the binding activity of the Clostridial toxin binding domain. Thus, aspects of this embodiment can include Clostridial toxin H.sub.C regions comprising a binding domain having a length of, e.g., at least 350, 375, 400, or 425 amino acids. Other aspects of this embodiment can include Clostridial toxin H.sub.C regions comprising a binding domain having a length of, e.g., at most 350, 375, 400, or 425 amino acids.
[0033] Any of a variety of sequence alignment methods can be used to determine percent identity, including, without limitation, global methods, local methods and hybrid methods, such as, e.g., segment approach methods. Protocols to determine percent identity are routine procedures within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teaching herein.
[0034] Global methods align sequences from the beginning to the end of the molecule and determine the best alignment by adding up scores of individual residue pairs and by imposing gap penalties. Non-limiting methods include, e.g., CLUSTAL W, see, e.g., Julie D. Thompson et al., CLUSTAL W: Improving the Sensitivity of Progressive Multiple Sequence Alignment Through Sequence Weighting, Position-Specific Gap Penalties and Weight Matrix Choice, 22(22) Nucleic Acids Research 4673-4680 (1994); and iterative refinement, see, e.g., Osamu Gotoh, Significant Improvement in Accuracy of Multiple Protein Sequence Alignments by Iterative Refinement as Assessed by Reference to Structural Alignments, 264(4) J. Mol. Biol. 823-838 (1996).
[0035] Local methods align sequences by identifying one or more conserved motifs shared by all of the input sequences. Non-limiting methods include, e.g., Match-box, see, e.g., Eric Depiereux and Ernest Feytmans, Match-Box: A Fundamentally New Algorithm for the Simultaneous Alignment of Several Protein Sequences, 8(5) CABIOS 501-509 (1992); Gibbs sampling, see, e.g., C. E. Lawrence et al., Detecting Subtle Sequence Signals: A Gibbs Sampling Strategy for Multiple Alignment, 262(5131) Science 208-214 (1993); Align-M, see, e.g., Ivo Van Walle et al., Align-M--A New Algorithm for Multiple Alignment of Highly Divergent Sequences, 20(9) Bioinformatics:1428-1435 (2004).
[0036] Hybrid methods combine functional aspects of both global and local alignment methods.

[0037] The present specification describes various polypeptide variants where one amino acid is substituted for another, such as, e.g., Clostridial toxin variants, Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants, Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants, Clostridial toxin binding domain variants, non-Clostridial toxin binding domain variants, and protease cleavage site variants. A substitution can be assessed by a variety of factors, such as, e.g., the physical properties of the amino acid being substituted (Table 2) or how the original amino acid would tolerate a substitution (Table 3). The selections of which amino acid can be substituted for another amino acid in a polypeptide are known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

[0060] As used herein, the term "Clostridial toxin chimeric" or "Clostridial toxin chimeras" refers to a molecule comprising at least a portion from one Clostridial toxin and a portion from at least one other protein to form a toxin with at least one property different from the reference Clostridial toxins of Table 1. Non-limiting examples of Clostridial toxin chimeras include a Clostridial toxin comprising a non-Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain, a Clostridial toxin comprising a non-Clostridial toxin translocation domain, a Clostridial toxin comprising a non-Clostridial toxin binding domain, or any combination thereof. Other non-limiting example of a Clostridial toxin chimeras include a Clostridial toxin comprising a enzymatic domain from a different Clostridial toxin, a Clostridial toxin comprising a translocation domain from a different Clostridial toxin, a Clostridial toxin comprising a binding domain from a different Clostridial toxin, or any combination thereof.
[0061] One class of Clostridial toxin chimeric comprises a modified Clostridial toxin were the enzymatic domain or portion thereof, translocation domain or portion thereof, and/or binding domain or portion thereof of a naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin is either modified or replaced with an enzymatic domain or portion thereof, translocation domain or portion thereof, and/or binding domain or portion thereof of a different Clostridial toxin. As non-limiting example, the binding domain of BoNT/A can be replaced with the binding domain of BoNT/B producing a Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising a BoNT/A enzymatic domain, a BoNT/A translocation domain, and a BoNT/B binding domain. Such Clostridial toxin chimeras are described in, e.g., J. Oliver Dolly et al., Activatable Recombinant Neurotoxins, U.S. Pat. No. 7,132,259, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. As another non-limiting example, the leucine motif from BoNT/A can be inserted into the light chain of a BoNT/E in order to increase biological persistence. Such Clostridial toxin chimeras are described in, e.g., Lance E. Steward et al., Leucine-based Motif and Clostridial Toxins, U.S. Patent Publication 2003/0027752 (Feb. 6, 2003); Lance E. Steward et al., Clostridial Neurotoxin Compositions and Modified Clostridial Neurotoxins, U.S. Patent Publication 2003/0219462 (Nov. 27, 2003); and Lance E. Steward et al., Clostridial Neurotoxin Compositions and Modified Clostridial Neurotoxins, U.S. Patent Publication 2004/0220386 (Nov. 4, 2004), each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0062] Another class of Clostridial toxin chimeric comprises a Clostridial toxin where the binding domain of a naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin is either modified or replaced with a binding domain of a non-Clostridial toxin. Such Clostridial toxin chimeras possesses an altered cell binding activity because the modified toxin can either, e.g., 1) use the same receptor present on the surface of a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin target cell as that used by the naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin, referred to as an enhanced cell binding activity for a naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin target cell; 2) use a different receptor present on the surface of a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin target cell, referred to as an altered cell binding activity for a naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin target cell; or 3) use a different receptor present on the surface of the non-Clostridial toxin target cell, referred to as an altered cell binding activity for a non-naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin target cell, a re-targeted toxin or a TVEMP.
[0063] A Clostridial toxin chimeric can be a Clostridial toxin with an enhanced cell binding activity capable of intoxicating a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin target cell, e.g., a motor neuron. One way this enhanced binding activity is achieved by modifying the endogenous binding domain of a naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin in order to enhance a cell binding activity of the toxin for its naturally-occurring receptor. Such modifications to a targeting domain result in, e.g., a enhanced cell binding activity that increases binding affinity for an endogenous Clostridial toxin receptor present on a naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin target cell; an enhanced cell binding activity that increases binding specificity for a subgroup of endogenous Clostridial toxin receptors present on a naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin target cell; or an enhanced cell binding activity that increases both binding affinity and binding specificity. Non-limiting examples of modified Clostridial toxins an enhanced cell binding activity for a naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin receptor are described in, e.g., Lance E. Steward et al., Modified Clostridial Toxins with Enhanced Targeting Capabilities For Endogenous Clostridial Toxin Receptor Systems, U.S. Patent Publication 2008/0096248; Lance E. Steward, Modified Clostridial Toxins with Enhanced Translocation Capabilities and Enhanced Targeting Activity for Clostridial Toxin Target Cells, International Patent Publication 2008/105901; each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0064] A Clostridial toxin chimeric can be a Clostridial toxin with an altered cell binding activity capable of intoxicating a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin target cell, e.g., a motor neuron. One way this altered capability is achieved by replacing the endogenous binding domain of a naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin with a binding domain of another molecule that preferentially binds to a different receptor present on the surface of a Clostridial toxin target cell. Such a modification to a binding domain results in a modified toxin that is able to preferentially bind to a non-Clostridial toxin receptor present on a Clostridial toxin target cell. This enhanced binding activity for a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin target cell allows for lower effective doses of a modified Clostridial toxin to be administered to an individual because more toxin will be delivered to the target cell. Thus, modified Clostridial toxins with an enhanced binding activity will reduce the undesirable dispersal of the toxin to areas not targeted for treatment, thereby reducing or preventing the undesirable side-effects associated with diffusion of a Clostridial toxin to an unwanted location. Non-limiting examples of modified Clostridial toxins with an altered cell binding capability for a Clostridial toxin target cell are described in, e.g., Lance E. Steward et al., Multivalent Clostridial Toxin Derivatives and Methods of Their Use, U.S. Pat. No. 7,514,088; Lance E. Steward et al., Modified Clostridial Toxins with Altered Targeting Capabilities For Clostridial Toxin Target Cells, U.S. Patent Publication 2008/0161543; Lance E. Steward, Modified Clostridial Toxins with Enhanced Translocation Capabilities and Altered Targeting Activity for Clostridial Toxin Target Cells, U.S. Patent Publication 2008/0241881; Lance E. Steward et al., Multivalent Clostridial Toxin Derivatives and Methods of Their Use, U.S. Patent Publication 2009/0048431; Lance E. Steward et al., Modified Clostridial Toxins with Altered Targeting Capabilities For Clostridial Toxin Target Cells, International Patent Publication WO 2007/106115; each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0065] A Clostridial toxin chimeric can be a Clostridial toxin with an altered cell binding activity capable of intoxicating a cell other than a Clostridial toxin target cell, e.g., a cell other than a motor neuron. Called TVEMPs, these molecules achieve this intoxication by using a target receptor present on non-Clostridial toxin target cell. This re-targeted capability is achieved by replacing a naturally-occurring binding domain of a Clostridial toxin with a binding domain showing a preferential binding activity for a non-Clostridial toxin receptor present in a non-Clostridial toxin target cell. Such modifications to a binding domain result in a modified toxin that is able to preferentially bind to a non-Clostridial toxin receptor present on a non-Clostridial toxin target cell. A Clostridial toxin chimeric with an altered targeting activity for a non-Clostridial toxin target cell can bind to a target receptor, translocate into the cytoplasm, and exert its proteolytic effect on the SNARE complex of the non-Clostridial toxin target cell. Non-limiting examples of Clostridial toxin chimeras with an altered targeting activity for a non-Clostridial toxin target cell are described in, e.g., Keith A.

[0066] Aspects of the present specification provide, in part, a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain. As used herein, the term "Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain" refers to any Clostridial toxin polypeptide that can execute the enzymatic target modification step of the intoxication process. Thus, a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain specifically targets a Clostridial toxin substrate and encompasses the proteolytic cleavage of a Clostridial toxin substrate, such as, e.g., SNARE proteins like a SNAP-25 substrate, a VAMP substrate, and a Syntaxin substrate. Non-limiting examples of a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain include, e.g., a BoNT/A enzymatic domain, a BoNT/B enzymatic domain, a BoNT/C1 enzymatic domain, a BoNT/D enzymatic domain, a BoNT/E enzymatic domain, a BoNT/F enzymatic domain, a BoNT/G enzymatic domain, a TeNT enzymatic domain, a BaNT enzymatic domain, and a BuNT enzymatic domain.
[0067] A Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain includes, without limitation, naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants, such as, e.g., Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain isoforms and Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain subtypes; and non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants, such as, e.g., conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants, non-conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants, active Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain fragments thereof, or any combination thereof.
[0068] As used herein, the term "Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant," whether naturally-occurring or non-naturally-occurring, refers to a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain that has at least one amino acid change from the corresponding region of the disclosed reference sequences (Table 1) and can be described in percent identity to the corresponding region of that reference sequence. Unless expressly indicated, Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants useful to practice disclosed embodiments are variants that execute the enzymatic target modification step of the intoxication process. As non-limiting examples, a BoNT/A enzymatic domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 1/2-429 of SEQ ID NO: 1; a BoNT/B enzymatic domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 1/2-436 of SEQ ID NO: 6; a BoNT/C1 enzymatic domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 1/2-436 of SEQ ID NO: 11; a BoNT/D enzymatic domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 1/2-436 of SEQ ID NO: 13; a BoNT/E enzymatic domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 1/2-411 of SEQ ID NO: 15; a BoNT/F enzymatic domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 1/2-428 of SEQ ID NO: 18; a BoNT/G enzymatic domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 1/2-438 of SEQ ID NO: 21; a TeNT enzymatic domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 1/2-438 of SEQ ID NO: 22; a BaNT enzymatic domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 1/2-420 of SEQ ID NO: 23; and a BuNT enzymatic domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 1/2-411 of SEQ ID NO: 24.
[0069] It is recognized by those of skill in the art that within each serotype of Clostridial toxin there can be naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants that differ somewhat in their amino acid sequence, and also in the nucleic acids encoding these proteins. For example, there are presently five BoNT/A subtypes, BoNT/A1, BoNT/A2, BoNT/A3, BoNT/A4, and BoNT/A5, with specific enzymatic domain subtypes showing about 80% to 95% amino acid identity when compared to the BoNT/A enzymatic domain of SEQ ID NO: 1. As used herein, the term "naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant" refers to any Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain produced by a naturally-occurring process, including, without limitation, Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain isoforms produced from alternatively-spliced transcripts, Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain isoforms produced by spontaneous mutation and Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain subtypes. A naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain on which the naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain in any aspect of the present specification.
[0070] A non-limiting examples of a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant is a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain isoform such as, e.g., a BoNT/A enzymatic domain isoform, a BoNT/B enzymatic domain isoform, a BoNT/C1 enzymatic domain isoform, a BoNT/D enzymatic domain isoform, a BoNT/E enzymatic domain isoform, a BoNT/F enzymatic domain isoform, a BoNT/G enzymatic domain isoform, a TeNT enzymatic domain isoform, a BaNT enzymatic domain isoform, and a BuNT enzymatic domain isoform. Another non-limiting examples of a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant is a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain subtype such as, e.g., an enzymatic domain from subtype BoNT/A1, BoNT/A2, BoNT/A3, BoNT/A4, or BoNT/A5; an enzymatic domain from subtype BoNT/B1, BoNT/B2, BoNT/Bbv, or BoNT/Bnp; an enzymatic domain from subtype BoNT/C1-1 or BoNT/C1-2; an enzymatic domain from subtype BoNT/E1, BoNT/E2 and BoNT/E3; an enzymatic domain from subtype BoNT/F1, BoNT/F2, or BoNT/F3; and an enzymatic domain from subtype BuNT-1 or BuNT-2.
[0071] As used herein, the term "non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant" refers to any Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain produced with the aid of human manipulation, including, without limitation, Clostridial toxin enzymatic domains produced by genetic engineering using random mutagenesis or rational design and Clostridial toxin enzymatic domains produced by chemical synthesis. Non-limiting examples of non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants include, e.g., conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants, non-conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants, Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain chimeric variants, and active Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain fragments.
[0072] As used herein, the term "conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant" refers to a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain that has at least one amino acid substituted by another amino acid or an amino acid analog that has at least one property similar to that of the original amino acid from the reference Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain sequence (Table 1). Examples of properties include, without limitation, similar size, topography, charge, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, lipophilicity, covalent-bonding capacity, hydrogen-bonding capacity, a physicochemical property, of the like, or any combination thereof. A conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain on which the conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain in any aspect of the present specification. Non-limiting examples of a conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant include, e.g., conservative BoNT/A enzymatic domain variants, conservative BoNT/B enzymatic domain variants, conservative BoNT/C1 enzymatic domain variants, conservative BoNT/D enzymatic domain variants, conservative BoNT/E enzymatic domain variants, conservative BoNT/F enzymatic domain variants, conservative BoNT/G enzymatic domain variants, conservative TeNT enzymatic domain variants, conservative BaNT enzymatic domain variants, and conservative BuNT enzymatic domain variants.
[0073] As used herein, the term "non-conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant" refers to a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain in which 1) at least one amino acid is deleted from the reference Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant is based; 2) at least one amino acid added to the reference Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain is based; or 3) at least one amino acid is substituted by another amino acid or an amino acid analog that does not share any property similar to that of the original amino acid from the reference Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain sequence (Table 1). A non-conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain in any aspect of the present specification. Non-limiting examples of a non-conservative Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant include, e.g., non-conservative BoNT/A enzymatic domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/B enzymatic domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/C1 enzymatic domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/D enzymatic domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/E enzymatic domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/F enzymatic domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/G enzymatic domain variants, and non-conservative TeNT enzymatic domain variants, non-conservative BaNT enzymatic domain variants, and non-conservative BuNT enzymatic domain variants.
[0074] As used herein, the term "active Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain fragment" refers to any of a variety of Clostridial toxin fragments comprising the enzymatic domain can be useful in aspects of the present specification with the proviso that these enzymatic domain fragments can specifically target the core components of the neurotransmitter release apparatus and thus participate in executing the overall cellular mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin proteolytically cleaves a substrate. The enzymatic domains of Clostridial toxins are approximately 420-460 amino acids in length and comprise an enzymatic domain (Table 1). Research has shown that the entire length of a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain is not necessary for the enzymatic activity of the enzymatic domain. As a non-limiting example, the first eight amino acids of the BoNT/A enzymatic domain are not required for enzymatic activity. As another non-limiting example, the first eight amino acids of the TeNT enzymatic domain are not required for enzymatic activity. Likewise, the carboxyl-terminus of the enzymatic domain is not necessary for activity. As a non-limiting example, the last 32 amino acids of the BoNT/A enzymatic domain are not required for enzymatic activity. As another non-limiting example, the last 31 amino acids of the TeNT enzymatic domain are not required for enzymatic activity. Thus, aspects of this embodiment include Clostridial toxin enzymatic domains comprising an enzymatic domain having a length of, e.g., at least 350, 375, 400, 425, or 450 amino acids. Other aspects of this embodiment include Clostridial toxin enzymatic domains comprising an enzymatic domain having a length of, e.g., at most 350, 375, 400, 425, or 450 amino acids.
[0075] Any of a variety of sequence alignment methods can be used to determine percent identity of naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants and non-naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variants, including, without limitation, global methods, local methods and hybrid methods, such as, e.g., segment approach methods. Protocols to determine percent identity are routine procedures within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teaching herein.

In an aspect of this embodiment, a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain comprises a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain variant, such as, e.g., a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain isoform or a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain subtype.

Examples of hydrophobic amino acids include, e.g., C, F, I, L, M, V and W.

Examples of less polar or indifferent amino acids include, e.g., A, H, G, P, S, T, and Y. In a yet further aspect of this embodiment, a positive charged amino acid at one particular position in the polypeptide chain of the Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain can be substituted with another positive charged amino acid.

[0108] The "translocation domain" comprises a portion of a Clostridial neurotoxin heavy chain having a translocation activity. By "translocation" is meant the ability to facilitate the transport of a polypeptide through a vesicular membrane, thereby exposing some or all of the polypeptide to the cytoplasm. In the various botulinum neurotoxins translocation is thought to involve an allosteric conformational change of the heavy chain caused by a decrease in pH within the endosome. This conformational change appears to involve and be mediated by the N terminal half of the heavy chain and to result in the formation of pores in the vesicular membrane; this change permits the movement of the proteolytic light chain from within the endosomal vesicle into the cytoplasm. See e.g., Lacy, et al., Nature Struct. Biol. 5:898-902 (October 1998).
[0109] The amino acid sequence of the translocation-mediating portion of the botulinum neurotoxin heavy chain is known to those of skill in the art; additionally, those amino acid residues within this portion that are known to be essential for conferring the translocation activity are also known. It would therefore be well within the ability of one of ordinary skill in the art, for example, to employ the naturally occurring N-terminal peptide half of the heavy chain of any of the various Clostridium tetanus or Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin subtypes as a translocation domain, or to design an analogous translocation domain by aligning the primary sequences of the N-terminal halves of the various heavy chains and selecting a consensus primary translocation sequence based on conserved amino acid, polarity, steric and hydrophobicity characteristics between the sequences.
[0110] Aspects of the present specification provide, in part, a Clostridial toxin translocation domain. As used herein, the term "Clostridial toxin translocation domain" refers to any Clostridial toxin polypeptide that can execute the translocation step of the intoxication process that mediates Clostridial toxin light chain translocation. Thus, a Clostridial toxin translocation domain facilitates the movement of a Clostridial toxin light chain across a membrane and encompasses the movement of a Clostridial toxin light chain through the membrane an intracellular vesicle into the cytoplasm of a cell. Non-limiting examples of a Clostridial toxin translocation domain include, e.g., a BoNT/A translocation domain, a BoNT/B translocation domain, a BoNT/C1 translocation domain, a BoNT/D translocation domain, a BoNT/E translocation domain, a BoNT/F translocation domain, a BoNT/G translocation domain, a TeNT translocation domain, a BaNT translocation domain, and a BuNT translocation domain.
[0111] A Clostridial toxin translocation domain includes, without limitation, naturally occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants, such as, e.g., Clostridial toxin translocation domain isoforms and Clostridial toxin translocation domain subtypes; non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants, such as, e.g., conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants, non-conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants, active Clostridial toxin translocation domain fragments thereof, or any combination thereof.
[0112] As used herein, the term "Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant," whether naturally-occurring or non-naturally-occurring, refers to a Clostridial toxin translocation domain that has at least one amino acid change from the corresponding region of the disclosed reference sequences (Table 1) and can be described in percent identity to the corresponding region of that reference sequence. Unless expressly indicated, Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants useful to practice disclosed embodiments are variants that execute the translocation step of the intoxication process that mediates Clostridial toxin light chain translocation. As non-limiting examples, a BoNT/A translocation domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 455-873 of SEQ ID NO: 1; a BoNT/B translocation domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 447-860 of SEQ ID NO: 6; a BoNT/C1 translocation domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 454-868 of SEQ ID NO: 11; a BoNT/D translocation domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 451-864 of SEQ ID NO: 13; a BoNT/E translocation domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 427-847 of SEQ ID NO: 15; a BoNT/F translocation domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 446-865 of SEQ ID NO: 18; a BoNT/G translocation domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 451-865 of SEQ ID NO: 21; a TeNT translocation domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 468-881 of SEQ ID NO: 22; a BaNT translocation domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 436-857 of SEQ ID NO: 23; and a BuNT translocation domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 427-847 of SEQ ID NO: 24.
[0113] It is recognized by those of skill in the art that within each serotype of Clostridial toxin there can be naturally occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants that differ somewhat in their amino acid sequence, and also in the nucleic acids encoding these proteins. For example, there are presently five BoNT/A subtypes, BoNT/A1, BoNT/A2, BoNT/A3, BoNT/A4, and BoNT/A5, with specific translocation domain subtypes showing about 85-87% amino acid identity when compared to the BoNT/A translocation domain subtype of SEQ ID NO: 1. As used herein, the term "naturally occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant" refers to any Clostridial toxin translocation domain produced by a naturally-occurring process, including, without limitation, Clostridial toxin translocation domain isoforms produced from alternatively-spliced transcripts, Clostridial toxin translocation domain isoforms produced by spontaneous mutation and Clostridial toxin translocation domain subtypes. A naturally occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin translocation domain on which the naturally occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin translocation domain in any aspect of the present specification.
[0114] A non-limiting examples of a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant is a Clostridial toxin translocation domain isoform such as, e.g., a BoNT/A translocation domain isoform, a BoNT/B translocation domain isoform, a BoNT/C1 translocation domain isoform, a BoNT/D translocation domain isoform, a BoNT/E translocation domain isoform, a BoNT/F translocation domain isoform, a BoNT/G translocation domain isoform, a TeNT translocation domain isoform, a BaNT translocation domain isoform, and a BuNT translocation domain isoform. Another non-limiting examples of a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant is a Clostridial toxin translocation domain subtype such as, e.g., a translocation domain from subtype BoNT/A1, BoNT/A2, BoNT/A3, BoNT/A4, and BoNT/A5; a translocation domain from subtype BoNT/B1, BoNT/B2, BoNT/B bivalent and BoNT/B nonproteolytic; a translocation domain from subtype BoNT/C1-1 and BoNT/C1-2; a translocation domain from subtype BoNT/E1, BoNT/E2 and BoNT/E3; a translocation domain from subtype BoNT/F1, BoNT/F2, BoNT/F3; and a translocation domain from subtype BuNT-1 and BuNT-2.
[0115] As used herein, the term "non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant" refers to any Clostridial toxin translocation domain produced with the aid of human manipulation, including, without limitation, Clostridial toxin translocation domains produced by genetic engineering using random mutagenesis or rational design and Clostridial toxin translocation domains produced by chemical synthesis. Non-limiting examples of non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants include, e.g., conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants, non-conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants, and active Clostridial toxin translocation domain fragments.
[0116] As used herein, the term "conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant" refers to a Clostridial toxin translocation domain that has at least one amino acid substituted by another amino acid or an amino acid analog that has at least one property similar to that of the original amino acid from the reference Clostridial toxin translocation domain sequence (Table 1). Examples of properties include, without limitation, similar size, topography, charge, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, lipophilicity, covalent-bonding capacity, hydrogen-bonding capacity, a physicochemical property, of the like, or any combination thereof. A conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin translocation domain on which the conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin translocation domain in any aspect of the present specification. Non-limiting examples of a conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant include, e.g., conservative BoNT/A translocation domain variants, conservative BoNT/B translocation domain variants, conservative BoNT/C1 translocation domain variants, conservative BoNT/D translocation domain variants, conservative BoNT/E translocation domain variants, conservative BoNT/F translocation domain variants, conservative BoNT/G translocation domain variants, conservative TeNT translocation domain variants, conservative BaNT translocation domain variants, and conservative BuNT translocation domain variants.
[0117] As used herein, the term "non-conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant" refers to a Clostridial toxin translocation domain in which 1) at least one amino acid is deleted from the reference Clostridial toxin translocation domain on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant is based; 2) at least one amino acid added to the reference Clostridial toxin translocation domain on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain is based; or 3) at least one amino acid is substituted by another amino acid or an amino acid analog that does not share any property similar to that of the original amino acid from the reference Clostridial toxin translocation domain sequence (Table 1). A non-conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin translocation domain on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin translocation domain in any aspect of the present specification. Non-limiting examples of a non-conservative Clostridial toxin translocation domain variant include, e.g., non-conservative BoNT/A translocation domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/B translocation domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/C1 translocation domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/D translocation domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/E translocation domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/F translocation domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/G translocation domain variants, and non-conservative TeNT translocation domain variants, non-conservative BaNT translocation domain variants, and non-conservative BuNT translocation domain variants.
[0118] As used herein, the term "active Clostridial toxin translocation domain fragment" refers to any of a variety of Clostridial toxin fragments comprising the translocation domain can be useful in aspects of the present specification with the proviso that these active fragments can facilitate the release of the LC from intracellular vesicles into the cytoplasm of the target cell and thus participate in executing the overall cellular mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin proteolytically cleaves a substrate. The translocation domains from the heavy chains of Clostridial toxins are approximately 410-430 amino acids in length and comprise a translocation domain (Table 1). Research has shown that the entire length of a translocation domain from a Clostridial toxin heavy chain is not necessary for the translocating activity of the translocation domain. Thus, aspects of this embodiment include a Clostridial toxin translocation domain having a length of, e.g., at least 350, 375, 400, or 425 amino acids. Other aspects of this embodiment include a Clostridial toxin translocation domain having a length of, e.g., at most 350, 375, 400, or 425 amino acids.
[0119] Any of a variety of sequence alignment methods can be used to determine percent identity of naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants and non-naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin translocation domain variants, including, without limitation, global methods, local methods and hybrid methods, such as, e.g., segment approach methods. Protocols to determine percent identity are routine procedures within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teaching herein.

[0152] Aspects of the present specification provide, in part, a binding domain. As used herein, the term "binding domain" is synonymous with "ligand" or "targeting moiety" and refers to any molecule that can preferentially interact with another molecule present on the surface of a cell under physiological conditions. The cell surface molecule may comprise a polypeptide, a polysaccharide, a lipid, or may have structural characteristics of more than one of these. As used herein, the term "preferentially interacts" refers to molecule is able to bind its target receptor under physiological conditions, or in vitro conditions substantially approximating physiological conditions, to a statistically significantly greater degree relative to other, non-target receptor. With reference to a Clostridial toxin binding domain disclosed in the present specification, there is a discriminatory binding of the Clostridial toxin binding domain to its cognate receptor relative to other receptors. With reference to a non-Clostridial toxin binding domain disclosed in the present specification, there is a discriminatory binding of the non-Clostridial toxin binding domain to it cognate receptor relative to other receptors.

Unless expressly indicated, Clostridial toxin binding domain variants useful to practice disclosed embodiments are variants that execute the translocation step of the intoxication process that mediates Clostridial toxin light chain translocation. As non-limiting examples, a BoNT/A binding domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 874-1296 of SEQ ID NO: 1; a BoNT/B binding domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 861-1291 of SEQ ID NO: 6; a BoNT/C1 binding domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 869-1291 of SEQ ID NO: 11; a BoNT/D binding domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 865-1291 of SEQ ID NO: 13; a BoNT/E binding domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 848-1252 of SEQ ID NO: 15; a BoNT/F binding domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 866-1274 of SEQ ID NO: 18; a BoNT/G binding domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 866-1297 of SEQ ID NO: 21; a TeNT binding domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 882-1315 of SEQ ID NO: 22; a BaNT binding domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 858-1268 of SEQ ID NO: 23; and a BuNT binding domain variant will have at least one amino acid difference, such as, e.g., an amino acid substitution, deletion or addition, as compared to amino acids 848-1251 of SEQ ID NO: 24.
[0157] It is recognized by those of skill in the art that within each serotype of Clostridial toxin there can be naturally occurring Clostridial toxin binding domain variants that differ somewhat in their amino acid sequence, and also in the nucleic acids encoding these proteins. For example, there are presently five BoNT/A subtypes, BoNT/A1, BoNT/A2, BoNT/A3, BoNT/A4, and BoNT/A5, with specific binding domain subtypes showing about 83-97% amino acid identity when compared to the BoNT/A binding domain subtype of SEQ ID NO: 1. As another example, there are presently five BoNT/A subtypes, BoNT/A1, BoNT/A2, BoNT/A3, BoNT/A4, and BoNT/A5, with specific binding domain subtypes showing about 83-97% amino acid identity when compared to the BoNT/A binding domain subtype of SEQ ID NO: 1. As used herein, the term "naturally occurring Clostridial toxin binding domain variant" refers to any Clostridial toxin binding domain produced by a naturally-occurring process, including, without limitation, Clostridial toxin binding domain isoforms produced from alternatively-spliced transcripts, Clostridial toxin binding domain isoforms produced by spontaneous mutation and Clostridial toxin binding domain subtypes. A naturally occurring Clostridial toxin binding domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin binding domain on which the naturally occurring Clostridial toxin binding domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin binding domain in any aspect of the present specification.

[0159] As used herein, the term "non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin binding domain variant" refers to any Clostridial toxin binding domain produced with the aid of human manipulation, including, without limitation, Clostridial toxin binding domains produced by genetic engineering using random mutagenesis or rational design and Clostridial toxin binding domains produced by chemical synthesis. Non-limiting examples of non-naturally occurring Clostridial toxin binding domain variants include, e.g., conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variants, non-conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variants, Clostridial toxin binding domain chimeric variants and active Clostridial toxin binding domain fragments.
[0160] As used herein, the term "conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variant" refers to a Clostridial toxin binding domain that has at least one amino acid substituted by another amino acid or an amino acid analog that has at least one property similar to that of the original amino acid from the reference Clostridial toxin binding domain sequence (Table 1). Examples of properties include, without limitation, similar size, topography, charge, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, lipophilicity, covalent-bonding capacity, hydrogen-bonding capacity, a physicochemical property, of the like, or any combination thereof. A conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin binding domain on which the conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin binding domain in any aspect of the present specification. Non-limiting examples of a conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variant include, e.g., conservative BoNT/A binding domain variants, conservative BoNT/B binding domain variants, conservative BoNT/C1 binding domain variants, conservative BoNT/D binding domain variants, conservative BoNT/E binding domain variants, conservative BoNT/F binding domain variants, conservative BoNT/G binding domain variants, conservative TeNT binding domain variants, conservative BaNT binding domain variants, and conservative BuNT binding domain variants.
[0161] As used herein, the term "non-conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variant" refers to a Clostridial toxin binding domain in which 1) at least one amino acid is deleted from the reference Clostridial toxin binding domain on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variant is based; 2) at least one amino acid added to the reference Clostridial toxin binding domain on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain is based; or 3) at least one amino acid is substituted by another amino acid or an amino acid analog that does not share any property similar to that of the original amino acid from the reference Clostridial toxin binding domain sequence (Table 1). A non-conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference Clostridial toxin binding domain on which the non-conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference Clostridial toxin binding domain in any aspect of the present specification. Non-limiting examples of a non-conservative Clostridial toxin binding domain variant include, e.g., non-conservative BoNT/A binding domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/B binding domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/C1 binding domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/D binding domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/E binding domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/F binding domain variants, non-conservative BoNT/G binding domain variants, and non-conservative TeNT binding domain variants, non-conservative BaNT binding domain variants, and non-conservative BuNT binding domain variants.
[0162] As used herein, the term "active Clostridial toxin binding domain fragment" refers to any of a variety of Clostridial toxin fragments comprising the binding domain can be useful in aspects of the present specification with the proviso that these active fragments can facilitate the release of the LC from intracellular vesicles into the cytoplasm of the target cell and thus participate in executing the overall cellular mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin proteolytically cleaves a substrate. The binding domains from the heavy chains of Clostridial toxins are approximately 400-440 amino acids in length and comprise a binding domain (Table 1). Research has shown that the entire length of a binding domain from a Clostridial toxin heavy chain is not necessary for the translocating activity of the binding domain. Thus, aspects of this embodiment include a Clostridial toxin binding domain having a length of, e.g., at least 350, 375, 400, or 425 amino acids. Other aspects of this embodiment include a Clostridial toxin binding domain having a length of, e.g., at most 350, 375, 400, or 425 amino acids.

[0198] As used herein, the term "non-Clostridial toxin binding domain variant," whether naturally-occurring or non-naturally-occurring, refers to a non-Clostridial toxin binding domain that has at least one amino acid change from the corresponding region of a reference sequence and can be described in percent identity to the corresponding region of that reference sequence. Unless expressly indicated, non-Clostridial toxin binding domain variants useful to practice the disclosed embodiments are variants that execute the binding step of the intoxication process.
[0199] It is recognized by those of skill in the art that within each non-Clostridial toxin binding domain there can be naturally occurring variants that differ somewhat in their amino acid sequence, and also in the nucleic acids encoding these proteins.

A conservative non-Clostridial toxin binding domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference non-Clostridial toxin binding domain on which the conservative non-Clostridial toxin binding domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference non-Clostridial toxin binding domain in any aspect of the present specification. Non-limiting examples of a conservative non-Clostridial toxin binding domain variant include, e.g., conservative opioid binding domain variants, conservative tachykinin binding domain variants, conservative melanocortin binding domain variants, conservative galanin binding domain variants, conservative granin binding domain variants, conservative Neuropeptide Y related peptide binding domain variants, conservative neurohormone binding domain variants, conservative neuroregulatory cytokine binding domain variants, conservative kinin peptide binding domain variants, conservative growth factor binding domain variants, and conservative glucagon like hormone binding domain variants.

A non-conservative non-Clostridial toxin binding domain variant can function in substantially the same manner as the reference non-Clostridial toxin binding domain on which the non-conservative non-Clostridial toxin binding domain variant is based, and can be substituted for the reference non-Clostridial toxin binding domain in any aspect of the present specification. Non-limiting examples of a non-conservative non-Clostridial toxin binding domain variant include, e.g., non-conservative opioid binding domain variants, non-conservative tachykinin binding domain variants, non-conservative melanocortin binding domain variants, non-conservative galanin binding domain variants, non-conservative granin binding domain variants, non-conservative Neuropeptide Y related peptide binding domain variants, non-conservative neurohormone binding domain variants, non-conservative neuroregulatory cytokine binding domain variants, non-conservative kinin peptide binding domain variants, non-conservative growth factor binding domain variants, and non-conservative glucagon like hormone binding domain variants.
[0203] As used herein, the term "active non-Clostridial toxin binding domain fragment" refers to any of a variety of Clostridial toxin fragments comprising the binding domain can be useful in aspects of the present specification with the proviso that these biding domain fragments can preferentially interact with the cognate receptor, and thus participate in executing the overall cellular mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin proteolytically cleaves a substrate.
[0204] Any of a variety of sequence alignment methods can be used to determine percent identity of naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin binding domain variants and non-naturally-occurring Clostridial toxin binding domain variants, including, without limitation, global methods, local methods and hybrid methods, such as, e.g., segment approach methods.

[0230] It is envisioned that a Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification can comprise a non-Clostridial binding domain in any and all locations with the proviso that Clostridial toxin chimeric can perform the intoxication process. Non-limiting examples include, locating a non-Clostridial binding domain at the amino terminus of a modified Clostridial toxin; locating a non-Clostridial binding domain between a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain and a translocation domain of a modified Clostridial toxin; and locating a non-Clostridial binding domain at the carboxyl terminus of a modified Clostridial toxin. Other non-limiting examples include, locating a non-Clostridial binding domain between a Clostridial toxin enzymatic domain and a Clostridial toxin translocation domain of a modified Clostridial toxin. The enzymatic domain of naturally-occurring Clostridial toxins contains the native start methionine. Thus, in domain organizations where the enzymatic domain is not in the amino-terminal location an amino acid sequence comprising the start methionine should be placed in front of the amino-terminal domain. Likewise, where a non-Clostridial binding domain is in the amino-terminal position, an amino acid sequence comprising a start methionine and a protease cleavage site may be operably-linked in situations in which a non-Clostridial binding domain requires a free amino terminus, see, e.g., Shengwen Li et al., Degradable Clostridial Toxins, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/572,512 (Jan. 23, 2007), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In addition, it is known in the art that when adding a polypeptide that is operably-linked to the amino terminus of another polypeptide comprising the start methionine that the original methionine residue can be deleted.

Any of a variety of sequence alignment methods can be used to determine percent identity, including, without limitation, global methods, local methods and hybrid methods, such as, e.g., segment approach methods. Protocols to determine percent identity are routine procedures within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teaching herein.

[0250] Aspects of the present specification disclose, in part, a Thrombin cleavage site as an inactivation cleavage site.

[0252] Aspects of the present specification disclose, in part, a Plasmin cleavage site as an inactivation cleavage site. As used herein, the term "Plasmin cleavage site" refers to a scissile bond together with adjacent or non-adjacent recognition elements, or both, sufficient for detectable proteolysis at the scissile bond by Plasmin under conditions suitable for Plasmin protease activity. It is envisioned that any amino acid sequence cleaved by Plasmin can be useful in aspects of the present specification. Plasmin catalyzes cleavage of Lys| and Arg| bonds, with a specificity similar to that of Trypsin. However, Plasmin is a much less efficient enzyme than Trypsin, and cleaves only some of these bonds in proteins. Trypsin cleaves peptide chains mainly at the carboxyl side of the amino acids lysine or arginine, except when either is followed by proline.

[0295] Aspects of the present specification disclose, in part, a PAR4 cleavage site as an inactivation cleavage site.

[0297] The location of an inactivation cleavage site is a critical aspect that is governed by several criteria. First, the placement of the inactivation cleavage site should not substantially affect the ability of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric to intoxicate its target cell. As used herein, the term "not substantially affect," with regards to intoxication, refers to a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification that can still execute the overall intoxication mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric enters a target cell and proteolytically cleaves a target substrate and encompasses the binding of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric to a low or high affinity receptor complex, the internalization of the toxin/receptor complex, the translocation of the light chain into the cytoplasm and the enzymatic modification of a target substrate.
[0298] In an aspect of this embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site can intoxicate a target cell to the same extent as the same or similar Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric, but without the inactivation cleavage site modification. In other aspects of this embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site can intoxicate a target cell by, e.g., at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 95% the extent as the same or similar Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric, but without the inactivation cleavage site modification. In other aspects of this embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site can intoxicate a target cell by, e.g., at most 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 95% the extent as the same or similar Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric, but without the inactivation cleavage site modification.
[0299] Second, the placement of an inactivation cleavage site should be at a surface exposed region of the toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric and not buried internally within the protein or masked by secondary structure elements. Proper surface exposure of the inactivation cleavage site facilitates proper access of the site to its corresponding protease, thereby enabling proteolytic cleavage. Proteolytic cleavage of the inactivation cleavage site by its corresponding protease substantially inactivates the ability of the Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric to intoxicate the cell. As used herein, the term "substantially inactivates," with regards to intoxication, refers to a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification that, after cleavage at an inactivation cleavage site, has a reduced ability to execute the overall intoxication mechanism whereby a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric enters a target cell and proteolytically cleaves a target substrate and encompasses the binding of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric to a low or high affinity receptor complex, the internalization of the toxin/receptor complex, the translocation of the light chain into the cytoplasm and the enzymatic modification of a target substrate.
[0300] In one aspect of this embodiment, proteolytic cleavage of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification at an inactivation cleavage site results in complete inability of the toxin to intoxicate a target cell as compared to the same or similar Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric, but in a proteolytic uncleaved state (La, the intoxication cleavage site is intact or uncleaved). In other aspects of this embodiment, proteolytic cleavage of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification at an inactivation cleavage site results in, e.g., at least a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 95% decreased ability to intoxicate a target cell as compared to the same or similar Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric, but in a proteolytic uncleaved state. In other aspects of this embodiment, proteolytic cleavage of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification at an inactivation cleavage site results in, e.g., at most a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 95% decreased ability to intoxicate a target cell as compared to the same or similar Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric, but in a proteolytic uncleaved state.
[0301] In an aspect of the present specification, an inactivation cleavage site is located within an inactivation cleavage site region. As used herein, the term "inactivation cleavage site region" refers to an amino acid sequence of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric that can be modified to contain an inactivation cleavage site because such modification will not substantially disrupt the ability of the protein to intoxicate a target cell; and upon exposure to its cognate protease, the inactivation cleavage site will be cleaved and substantially inactivate the Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric. The location of an inactivation cleavage site can be anywhere within the inactivation cleavage site region, with the proviso that such location will not substantially affect the ability of the Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric to intoxicate a target cell; and upon exposure to its cognate protease, cleavage of the inactivation cleavage site will substantially inactivate the Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric. Table 5 lists exemplary inactivation cleavage site regions suitable for use with a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification.

Non-limiting examples of mutagenesis procedures, as well as well-characterized reagents, conditions and protocols are readily available from commercial vendors that include, without limitation, BD Biosciences-Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.; BD Biosciences Pharmingen, San Diego, Calif.; Invitrogen, Inc, Carlsbad, Calif.; QIAGEN, Inc., Valencia, Calif.; and Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif. These protocols are routine procedures within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teaching herein.
[0331] As mentioned above, Clostridial toxins and Clostridial toxin chimeras disclosed in the present specification are translated as single-chain polypeptides that are subsequently cleaved by proteolytic scission within a disulfide loop region. This posttranslational processing yields a di-chain molecule held together by a single disulphide bond and noncovalent interactions. The proteolytic scission within a disulfide loop region can be achieved by using the endogenous protease cleavage sites naturally-occurring within the di-chain loop region, or by engineering the di-chain loop region to comprise an exogenous protease cleavage site.
[0332] Aspects of the present specification disclose, in part, a di-chain loop region. As used herein, the term "di-chain loop region" refers to an amino acid sequence of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric flanked by cysteine amino acids and containing a protease cleavage site used to convert the single-chain form of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric into its di-chain form (Table 6). Non-limiting examples of a di-chain loop region, include, a di-chain loop region of BoNT/A comprising amino acids 430-454 of SEQ ID NO: 1; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/B comprising amino acids 437-446 of SEQ ID NO: 2; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/C1 comprising amino acids 437-453 of SEQ ID NO: 3; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/D comprising amino acids 437-450 of SEQ ID NO: 4; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/E comprising amino acids 412-426 of SEQ ID NO: 5; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/F comprising amino acids 429-445 of SEQ ID NO: 6; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/G comprising amino acids 436-450 of SEQ ID NO: 7; and a di-chain loop region of TeNT comprising amino acids 439-467 of SEQ ID NO: 8 (Table 6).

An asterisks (*) indicates the peptide bond that is cleaved by a Clostridial toxin protease.
[0333] Thus, in an embodiment, a di-chain loop region comprises a Clostridial toxin di-chain loop region. In aspects of this embodiment, a di-chain loop region comprises, e.g., a BoNT/A di-chain loop region, a BoNT/B di-chain loop region, a BoNT/C1 di-chain loop region, a BoNT/D di-chain loop region, a BoNT/E di-chain loop region, a BoNT/F di-chain loop region, a BoNT/G di-chain loop region, a TeNT di-chain loop region, a BaNT di-chain loop region, or a BuNT di-chain loop region. In other aspects of this embodiment, a di-chain loop region comprises, e.g., a BoNT/A di-chain loop region comprising amino acids 430-454 of SEQ ID NO: 1; a BoNT/B di-chain loop region comprising amino acids 437-446 of SEQ ID NO: 2; a BoNT/C1 di-chain loop region comprising amino acids 437-453 of SEQ ID NO: 3; a BoNT/D di-chain loop region comprising amino acids 437-450 of SEQ ID NO: 4; a BoNT/E di-chain loop region comprising amino acids 412-426 of SEQ ID NO: 5; a BoNT/F di-chain loop region comprising amino acids 429-445 of SEQ ID NO: 6; a BoNT/G di-chain loop region comprising amino acids 436-450 of SEQ ID NO: 7; or a TeNT di-chain loop region comprising amino acids 439-467 of SEQ ID NO: 8, a BaNT di-chain loop region comprising amino acids 421-435 of SEQ ID NO: 9; ora BuNT di-chain loop region comprising amino acids 412-426 of SEQ ID NO: 10.
[0334] Aspects of the present specification disclose, in part, an endogenous di-chain loop protease cleavage site. As used herein, the term "endogenous di-chain loop protease cleavage site" is synonymous with a "naturally occurring di-chain loop protease cleavage site" and refers to a naturally occurring protease cleavage site found within the di-chain loop region of a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric and includes, without limitation, naturally occurring Clostridial toxin di-chain loop protease cleavage site variants, such as, e.g., Clostridial toxin di-chain loop protease cleavage site isoforms and Clostridial toxin di-chain loop protease cleavage site subtypes. Non-limiting examples of an endogenous protease cleavage site, include, e.g., a BoNT/A di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/B di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/C1 di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/D di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/E di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/F di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/G di-chain loop protease cleavage site and a TeNT di-chain loop protease cleavage site.
[0335] While the identity of the protease is currently unknown, the di-chain loop protease cleavage site for many Clostridial toxins has been determined. In BoNTs, cleavage at K448-A449 converts the single polypeptide form of BoNT/A into the di-chain form; cleavage at K441-A442 converts the single polypeptide form of BoNT/B into the di-chain form; cleavage at K449-T450 converts the single polypeptide form of BoNT/C1 into the di-chain form; cleavage at R445-D446 converts the single polypeptide form of BoNT/D into the di-chain form; cleavage at R422-K423 converts the single polypeptide form of BoNT/E into the di-chain form; cleavage at K439-A440 converts the single polypeptide form of BoNT/F into the di-chain form; and cleavage at K446-5447 converts the single polypeptide form of BoNT/G into the di-chain form. Proteolytic cleavage of the single polypeptide form of TeNT at A457-S458 results in the di-chain form. Proteolytic cleavage of the single polypeptide form of BaNT at K431-N432 results in the di-chain form. Proteolytic cleavage of the single polypeptide form of BuNT at R422-K423 results in the di-chain form. Such a di-chain loop protease cleavage site is operably-linked to a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric as a fusion protein. However, it should also be noted that additional cleavage sites within the di-chain loop also appear to be cleaved resulting in the generation of a small peptide fragment being lost. As a non-limiting example, BoNT/A single-chain polypeptide cleave ultimately results in the loss of a ten amino acid fragment within the di-chain loop.
[0336] Thus, in an embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification comprises a di-chain loop region including an endogenous di-chain loop protease cleavage site. In aspects of this embodiment, an endogenous di-chain loop protease cleavage site located within the di-chain loop region comprises, e.g., a BoNT/A di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/B di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/C1 di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/D di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/E di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/F di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BoNT/G di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a TeNT di-chain loop protease cleavage site, a BaNT di-chain loop protease cleavage site, or a BuNT di-chain loop protease cleavage site. In other aspects of this embodiment, an endogenous di-chain loop protease cleavage site located within the di-chain loop region comprises, e.g., a di-chain loop region of BoNT/A comprising amino acids 430-454 of SEQ ID NO: 1; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/B comprising amino acids 437-446 of SEQ ID NO: 2; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/C1 comprising amino acids 437-453 of SEQ ID NO: 3; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/D comprising amino acids 437-450 of SEQ ID NO: 4; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/E comprising amino acids 412-426 of SEQ ID NO: 5; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/F comprising amino acids 429-445 of SEQ ID NO: 6; a di-chain loop region of BoNT/G comprising amino acids 436-450 of SEQ ID NO: 7; or a di-chain loop region of TeNT comprising amino acids 439-467 of SEQ ID NO: 8, a di-chain loop region of BaNT comprising amino acids 421-435 of SEQ ID NO: 9; or a di-chain loop region of BuNT comprising amino acids 412-426 of SEQ ID NO: 10.
[0337] Aspects of the present specification disclose, in part, an exogenous protease cleavage site. As used herein, the term "exogenous protease cleavage site" is synonymous with "engineered protease cleavage site", "non-naturally occurring protease cleavage site", or "non-native protease cleavage site" and refers to a protease cleavage site that is not normally present in a di-chain loop region from a naturally occurring Clostridial toxin. Such engineered or exogenous protease cleavage sites within the di-chain loop region are used to convert the single-chain polypeptide form of a Clostridial toxin of Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification into its di-chain form. It is envisioned that any and all exogenous protease cleavage sites can be used to convert the single-chain polypeptide form of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric into its active di-chain form are useful to practice aspects of the present specification. Non-limiting examples of exogenous protease cleavage sites include, e.g., a plant papain cleavage site, an insect papain cleavage site, a crustacean papain cleavage site, an enterokinase cleavage site, a human rhinovirus 3C protease cleavage site, a human enterovirus 3C protease cleavage site, a tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease cleavage site, a Tobacco Vein Mottling Virus (TVMV) cleavage site, a subtilisin cleavage site, a hydroxylamine cleavage site, or a Caspase 3 cleavage site.

[0338] It is envisioned that an exogenous protease cleavage site of any and all lengths can be useful in aspects of the present specification with the proviso that the exogenous protease cleavage site can be cleaved by its respective protease. Thus, in aspects of this embodiment, an exogenous protease cleavage site can have a length of, e.g., at least 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, or at least 60 amino acids; or at most 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, or at least 60 amino acids.
[0339] In an embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification comprises a di-chain loop region including an exogenous protease cleavage site.

[0348] A di-chain loop region can be modified so that a naturally-occurring di-chain loop protease cleavage site is replaced by an exogenous protease cleavage site. In this modification, the naturally-occurring di-chain loop protease cleavage site is made inoperable and thus cannot be cleaved by its protease. Only the exogenous protease cleavage site can be cleaved by its corresponding exogenous protease. In this type of modification, the exogenous protease site is operably-linked to a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric as a fusion protein and the site can be cleaved by its respective exogenous protease. Replacement of an endogenous di-chain loop protease cleavage site with an exogenous protease cleavage site can be a substitution of the sites where the exogenous site is engineered at the position approximating the cleavage site location of the endogenous site. Replacement of an endogenous di-chain loop protease cleavage site with an exogenous protease cleavage site can be an addition of an exogenous site where the exogenous site is engineered at the position different from the cleavage site location of the endogenous site, the endogenous site being engineered to be inoperable. The location and kind of protease cleavage site may be critical because certain binding domains require a free amino-terminal or carboxyl-terminal amino acid. For example, when a peptide binding domain is placed between two other domains, e.g., see FIG. 4, a criterion for selection of a protease cleavage site could be whether the protease that cleaves its site leaves a flush cut, exposing the free amino-terminal or carboxyl-terminal of the binding domain necessary for selective binding of the binding domain to its receptor.
[0349] A naturally-occurring protease cleavage site can be made inoperable by altering at least one of the two amino acids flanking the peptide bond cleaved by the naturally-occurring di-chain loop protease. More extensive alterations can be made, with the proviso that the two cysteine residues of the di-chain loop region remain intact and the region can still form the disulfide bridge. Non-limiting examples of an amino acid alteration include deletion of an amino acid or replacement of the original amino acid with a different amino acid. Thus, in one embodiment, a naturally-occurring protease cleavage site is made inoperable by altering at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20 amino acids including at least one of the two amino acids flanking the peptide bond cleaved by a naturally-occurring protease. In another embodiment, a naturally-occurring protease cleavage site is made inoperable by altering at most 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20 amino acids including at least one of the two amino acids flanking the peptide bond cleaved by a naturally-occurring protease.
[0350] It is understood that a modified Clostridial toxin disclosed in the present specification can optionally further comprise a flexible region comprising a flexible spacer. A flexible region comprising flexible spacers can be used to adjust the length of a polypeptide region in order to optimize a characteristic, attribute or property of a polypeptide. As a non-limiting example, a polypeptide region comprising one or more flexible spacers in tandem can be used to better expose a protease cleavage site thereby facilitating cleavage of that site by a protease. As another non-limiting example, a polypeptide region comprising one or more flexible spacers in tandem can be used to better present a peptide binding domain, thereby facilitating the binding of that binding domain to its receptor.
[0351] A flexible space comprising a peptide is at least one amino acid in length and comprises non-charged amino acids with small side-chain R groups, such as, e.g., small non-polar amino acids like A, C, G, S, and T. Thus, in an embodiment a flexible spacer can have a length of, e.g., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 amino acids; or at most 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 amino acids. In still another embodiment, a flexible spacer can be, e.g., between 1-3 amino acids, between 2-4 amino acids, between 3-5 amino acids, between 4-6 amino acids, or between 5-7 amino acids. Non-limiting examples of a flexible spacer include, e.g., a G-spacers such as GGG, GGGG (SEQ ID NO: 522), and GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 523) or an A-spacers such as AAA, AAAA (SEQ ID NO: 524) and AAAAT (SEQ ID NO: 525). Such a flexible region is operably-linked in-frame to the modified Clostridial toxin as a fusion protein.
[0352] Thus, in an embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification can further comprise a flexible region comprising a flexible spacer. In another embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification can further comprise flexible region comprising a plurality of flexible spacers in tandem. In aspects of this embodiment, a flexible region can comprise in tandem, e.g., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 G-spacers; or at most 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 G-spacers. In still other aspects of this embodiment, a flexible region can comprise in tandem, e.g., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 A-spacers; or at most 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 A-spacers. In another aspect of this embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric can comprise a flexible region comprising one or more copies of the same flexible spacers, one or more copies of different flexible-spacer regions, or any combination thereof.
[0353] It is envisioned that a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification can comprise a flexible spacer in any and all locations with the proviso that the Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric is capable of performing the overall intoxication process. In aspects of this embodiment, a flexible spacer is positioned between, e.g., an enzymatic domain and a translocation domain, an enzymatic domain and a binding domain, an enzymatic domain and an exogenous protease cleavage site. In other aspects of this embodiment, a flexible spacer is positioned between, e.g., a binding domain and a translocation domain, a binding domain and an enzymatic domain, a binding domain and an exogenous protease cleavage site. In yet other aspects of this embodiment, a flexible spacer is positioned between, e.g., a translocation domain and an enzymatic domain, a translocation domain and a binding domain, a translocation domain and an exogenous protease cleavage site.
[0354] As another non-limiting example of an optional component, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric can further comprise an epitope-binding region. An epitope-binding region can be used in a wide variety of procedures involving, e.g., protein purification and protein visualization. Such an epitope-binding region is operably-linked in-frame to a modified Clostridial toxin as a fusion protein. Non-limiting examples of an epitope-binding region include, e.g., FLAG, Express.TM., human Influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA), human p62.sup.c-Myc protein (c-MYC), Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Glycoprotein (VSV-G), glycoprotein-D precursor of Herpes simplex virus (HSV), V5, AU1, and AUS; affinity-binding, such as, e.g., polyhistidine (HIS), streptavidin binding peptide (strep), and biotin or a biotinylation sequence; peptide-binding regions, such as, e.g., the glutathione binding domain of glutathione-S-transferase, the calmodulin binding domain of the calmodulin binding protein, and the maltose binding domain of the maltose binding protein. Non-limiting examples of specific protocols for selecting, making and using an appropriate binding peptide are described in, e.g., Epitope Tagging, pp. 17.90-17.93 (Sambrook and Russell, eds., MOLECULAR CLONING A LABORATORY MANUAL, Vol. 3, 3.sup.rd ed. 2001); ANTIBODIES: A LABORATORY MANUAL (Edward Harlow & David Lane, eds., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2.sup.nd ed. 1998); and USING ANTIBODIES: A LABORATORY MANUAL: PORTABLE PROTOCOL No. I (Edward Harlow & David Lane, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1998). In addition, non-limiting examples of binding peptides as well as well-characterized reagents, conditions and protocols are readily available from commercial vendors that include, without limitation, BD Biosciences-Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.; BD Biosciences Pharmingen, San Diego, Calif.; Invitrogen, Inc, Carlsbad, Calif.; QIAGEN, Inc., Valencia, Calif.; and Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif. These protocols are routine procedures well within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teaching herein.
[0355] Thus, in an embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification can further comprise an epitope-binding region. In another embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification can further comprises a plurality of epitope-binding regions. In aspects of this embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric can comprise, e.g., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 epitope-binding regions. In other aspects of this embodiment, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric can comprise, e.g., at most 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 epitope-binding regions. In another aspect of this embodiment, a modified Clostridial toxin can comprise one or more copies of the same epitope-binding region, one or more copies of different epitope-binding regions, or any combination thereof.
[0356] The location of an epitope-binding region can be in various positions, including, without limitation, at the amino terminus, within, or at the carboxyl terminus of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric. Thus, in an embodiment, an epitope-binding region is located at the amino-terminus of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric. In another embodiment, an epitope-binding region is located at the carboxyl-terminus of a modified Clostridial toxin.
[0357] Aspects of the present specification provide, in part, polynucleotide molecules. As used herein, the term "polynucleotide molecule" is synonymous with "nucleic acid molecule" and refers to a polymeric form of nucleotides, such as, e.g., ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides. It is envisioned that any and all polynucleotide molecules that can encode a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification can be useful, including, without limitation naturally-occurring and non-naturally-occurring DNA molecules and naturally-occurring and non-naturally-occurring RNA molecules. Non-limiting examples of naturally-occurring and non-naturally-occurring DNA molecules include single-stranded DNA molecules, double-stranded DNA molecules, genomic DNA molecules, cDNA molecules, vector constructs, such as, e.g., plasmid constructs, phagemid constructs, bacteriophage constructs, retroviral constructs and artificial chromosome constructs. Non-limiting examples of naturally-occurring and non-naturally-occurring RNA molecules include single-stranded RNA, double stranded RNA and mRNA.
[0358] Well-established molecular biology techniques that may be necessary to make a polynucleotide molecule encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification including, but not limited to, procedures involving polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, restriction enzyme reactions, agarose gel electrophoresis, nucleic acid ligation, bacterial transformation, nucleic acid purification, nucleic acid sequencing and recombination-based techniques are routine procedures well within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teaching herein. Non-limiting examples of specific protocols necessary to make a polynucleotide molecule encoding a modified Clostridial toxin are described in e.g., MOLECULAR CLONING A LABORATORY MANUAL, supra, (2001); and CURRENT PROTOCOLS IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY (Frederick M. Ausubel et al., eds. John Wiley & Sons, 2004). Additionally, a variety of commercially available products useful for making a polynucleotide molecule encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification are widely available. These protocols are routine procedures well within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teaching herein.
[0359] Thus, in an embodiment, a polynucleotide molecule encodes a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification.
[0360] Another aspect of the present specification provides, in part, a method of producing a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification, such method comprising the step of expressing a polynucleotide molecule encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric in a cell. Another aspect of the present specification provides a method of producing a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification, such method comprising the steps of introducing an expression construct comprising a polynucleotide molecule encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric into a cell and expressing the expression construct in the cell.
[0361] The methods disclosed in the present specification include, in part, a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric. It is envisioned that any and all Clostridial toxins or Clostridial toxin chimeras disclosed in the present specification can be produced using the methods disclosed in the present specification. It is also envisioned that any and all polynucleotide molecules encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification can be useful in producing a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification using the methods disclosed in the present specification.
[0362] The methods disclosed in the present specification include, in part, an expression construct. An expression construct comprises a polynucleotide molecule disclosed in the present specification operably-linked to an expression vector useful for expressing the polynucleotide molecule in a cell or cell-free extract. A wide variety of expression vectors can be employed for expressing a polynucleotide molecule encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification, including, without limitation, a viral expression vector; a prokaryotic expression vector; eukaryotic expression vectors, such as, e.g., a yeast expression vector, an insect expression vector and a mammalian expression vector; and a cell-free extract expression vector. It is further understood that expression vectors useful to practice aspects of these methods may include those which express a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric under control of a constitutive, tissue-specific, cell-specific or inducible promoter element, enhancer element or both. Non-limiting examples of expression vectors, along with well-established reagents and conditions for making and using an expression construct from such expression vectors are readily available from commercial vendors that include, without limitation, BD Biosciences-Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.; BD Biosciences Pharmingen, San Diego, Calif.; Invitrogen, Inc, Carlsbad, Calif.; EMD Biosciences-Novagen, Madison, Wis.; QIAGEN, Inc., Valencia, Calif.; and Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif. The selection, making and use of an appropriate expression vector are routine procedures well within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teachings herein.
[0363] Thus, in aspects of this embodiment, a polynucleotide molecule encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification operably-linked to an expression vector. In aspects of this embodiment, the expression vector is, e.g., a viral expression vector, a prokaryotic expression vector, a yeast expression vector, an insect expression vector, or a mammalian expression vector. On other aspects of this embodiment, a polynucleotide molecule encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification operably-linked to a cell-free extract expression vector.
[0364] The methods disclosed in the present specification include, in part, a cell. It is envisioned that any and all cells can be used. Thus, aspects of this embodiment include, without limitation, prokaryotic cells including, without limitation, strains of aerobic, microaerophilic, capnophilic, facultative, anaerobic, gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria cells such as those derived from, e.g., Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridia perfringens, Clostridia difficile, Caulobacter crescentus, Lactococcus lactis, Methylobacterium extorquens, Neisseria meningirulls, Neisseria meningitidis, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Salmonella typhimurium; and eukaryotic cells including, without limitation, yeast strains, such as, e.g., those derived from Pichia pastoris, Pichia methanolica, Pichia angusta, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Yarrowia lipolytica; insect cells and cell lines derived from insects, such as, e.g., those derived from Spodoptera frugiperda, Trichoplusia ni, Drosophila melanogaster and Manduca sexta; and mammalian cells and cell lines derived from mammalian cells, such as, e.g., those derived from mouse, rat, hamster, porcine, bovine, equine, primate and human. Cell lines may be obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, European Collection of Cell Cultures and the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures. Non-limiting examples of specific protocols for selecting, making and using an appropriate cell line are described in e.g., INSECT CELL CULTURE ENGINEERING (Mattheus F. A. Goosen et al. eds., Marcel Dekker, 1993); INSECT CELL CULTURES: FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED ASPECTS (J. M. Vlak et al. eds., Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996); Maureen A. Harrison & Ian F. Rae, GENERAL TECHNIQUES OF CELL CULTURE (Cambridge University Press, 1997); CELL AND TISSUE CULTURE: LABORATORY PROCEDURES (Alan Doyle et al eds., John Wiley and Sons, 1998); R. Ian Freshney, CULTURE OF ANIMAL CELLS: A MANUAL OF BASIC TECHNIQUE (Wiley-Liss, 4th ed. 2000); ANIMAL CELL CULTURE: A PRACTICAL APPROACH (John R. W. Masters ed., Oxford University Press, 3rd ed. 2000); MOLECULAR CLONING A LABORATORY MANUAL, supra, (2001); BASIC CELL CULTURE: A PRACTICAL APPROACH (John M. Davis, Oxford Press, 2nd ed. 2002); and CURRENT PROTOCOLS IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, supra, (2004). These protocols are routine procedures within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teaching herein.
[0365] The methods disclosed in the present specification include, in part, introducing into a cell a polynucleotide molecule. A polynucleotide molecule introduced into a cell can be transiently or stably maintained by that cell. Stably-maintained polynucleotide molecules may be extra-chromosomal and replicate autonomously, or they may be integrated into the chromosomal material of the cell and replicate non-autonomously. It is envisioned that any and all methods for introducing a polynucleotide molecule disclosed in the present specification into a cell can be used. Methods useful for introducing a polynucleotide molecule into a cell include, without limitation, chemical-mediated transfection or transformation such as, e.g., calcium chloride-mediated, calcium phosphate-mediated, diethyl-aminoethyl (DEAE) dextran-mediated, lipid-mediated, polyethyleneimine (PEI)-mediated, polylysine-mediated and polybrene-mediated; physical-mediated transfection or transformation, such as, e.g., biolistic particle delivery, microinjection, protoplast fusion and electroporation; and viral-mediated transfection, such as, e.g., retroviral-mediated transfection, see, e.g., Introducing Cloned Genes into Cultured Mammalian Cells, pp. 16.1-16.62 (Sambrook & Russell, eds., Molecular Cloning A Laboratory Manual, Vol. 3, 3.sup.rd ed. 2001). One skilled in the art understands that selection of a specific method to introduce an expression construct into a cell will depend, in part, on whether the cell will transiently contain an expression construct or whether the cell will stably contain an expression construct. These protocols are routine procedures within the scope of one skilled in the art and from the teaching herein.
[0366] In an aspect of this embodiment, a chemical-mediated method, termed transfection, is used to introduce into a cell a polynucleotide molecule encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification. In chemical-mediated methods of transfection the chemical reagent forms a complex with the nucleic acid that facilitates its uptake into the cells. Such chemical reagents include, without limitation, calcium phosphate-mediated, see, e.g., Martin Jordan & Florian Worm, Transfection of adherent and suspended cells by calcium phosphate, 33(2) Methods 136-143 (2004); diethyl-aminoethyl (DEAE) dextran-mediated, lipid-mediated, cationic polymer-mediated like polyethyleneimine (PEI)-mediated and polylysine-mediated and polybrene-mediated, see, e.g., Chun Zhang et al., Polyethylenimine strategies for plasmid delivery to brain-derived cells, 33(2) Methods 144-150 (2004). Such chemical-mediated delivery systems can be prepared by standard methods and are commercially available, see, e.g., CellPhect Transfection Kit (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, N.J.); Mammalian Transfection Kit, Calcium phosphate and DEAE Dextran, (Stratagene, Inc., La Jolla, Calif.); LIPOFECTAMINE.TM. Transfection Reagent (Invitrogen, Inc., Carlsbad, Calif.); ExGen 500 Transfection kit (Fermentas, Inc., Hanover, Md.), and SuperFect and Effectene Transfection Kits (Qiagen, Inc., Valencia, Calif.).
[0367] In another aspect of this embodiment, a physical-mediated method is used to introduce into a cell a polynucleotide molecule encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification. Physical techniques include, without limitation, electroporation, biolistic and microinjection. Biolistics and microinjection techniques perforate the cell wall in order to introduce the nucleic acid molecule into the cell, see, e.g., Jeike E. Biewenga et al., Plasmid-mediated gene transfer in neurons using the biolistics technique, 71(1) J. Neurosci. Methods 67-75 (1997); and John O'Brien & Sarah C. R. Lummis, Biolistic and diolistic transfection: using the gene gun to deliver DNA and lipophilic dyes into mammalian cells, 33(2) Methods 121-125 (2004). Electroporation, also termed electropermeabilization, uses brief, high-voltage, electrical pulses to create transient pores in the membrane through which the nucleic acid molecules enter and can be used effectively for stable and transient transfections of all cell types, see, e.g., M. Golzio et al., In vitro and in vivo electric field-mediated permeabilization, gene transfer, and expression, 33(2) Methods 126-135 (2004); and Oliver Gresch et al., New non-viral method for gene transfer into primary cells, 33(2) Methods 151-163 (2004).
[0368] In another aspect of this embodiment, a viral-mediated method, termed transduction, is used to introduce into a cell a polynucleotide molecule encoding a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric disclosed in the present specification. In viral-mediated methods of transient transduction, the process by which viral particles infect and replicate in a host cell has been manipulated in order to use this mechanism to introduce a polynucleotide molecule into the cell. Viral-mediated methods have been developed from a wide variety of viruses including, without limitation, retroviruses, adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpes simplex viruses, picornaviruses, alphaviruses and baculoviruses, see, e.g., Armin Blesch, Lentiviral and MLV based retroviral vectors for ex vivo and in vivo gene transfer, 33(2) Methods 164-172 (2004); and Maurizio Federico, From lentiviruses to lentivirus vectors, 229 Methods Mol. Biol. 3-15 (2003); E. M. Poeschla, Non-primate lentiviral vectors, 5(5) Curr. Opin. Mol. Ther. 529-540 (2003); Karim Benihoud et al, Adenovirus vectors for gene delivery, 10(5) Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 440-447 (1999); H. Bueler, Adeno-associated viral vectors for gene transfer and gene therapy, 380(6) Biol. Chem. 613-622 (1999); Chooi M. Lai et al., Adenovirus and adeno-associated virus vectors, 21(12) DNA Cell Biol. 895-913 (2002); Edward A. Burton et al., Gene delivery using herpes simplex virus vectors, 21(12) DNA Cell Biol. 915-936 (2002); Paola Grandi et al., Targeting HSV amplicon vectors, 33(2) Methods 179-186 (2004); Ilya Frolov et al., Alphavirus-based expression vectors: strategies and applications, 93(21) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A 11371-11377 (1996); Markus U. Ehrengruber, Alphaviral gene transfer in neurobiology, 59(1) Brain Res. Bull. 13-22 (2002); Thomas A. Kost & J. Patrick Condreay, Recombinant baculoviruses as mammalian cell gene-delivery vectors, 20(4) Trends Biotechnol. 173-180 (2002); and A. Huser & C. Hofmann, Baculovirus vectors: novel mammalian cell gene-delivery vehicles and their applications, 3(1) Am. J. Pharmacogenomics 53-63 (2003).
[0369] Adenoviruses, which are non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA viruses, are often selected for mammalian cell transduction because adenoviruses handle relatively large polynucleotide molecules of about 36 kb, are produced at high titer, and can efficiently infect a wide variety of both dividing and non-dividing cells, see, e.g., Wim T. J. M. C. Hermens et al., Transient gene transfer to neurons and glia: analysis of adenoviral vector performance in the CNS and PNS, 71(1) J. Neurosci. Methods 85-98 (1997); and Hiroyuki Mizuguchi et al., Approaches for generating recombinant adenovirus vectors, 52(3) Adv. Drug Deliv. Rev. 165-176 (2001). Transduction using adenoviral-based system do not support prolonged protein expression because the nucleic acid molecule is carried by an episome in the cell nucleus, rather than being integrated into the host cell chromosome. Adenoviral vector systems and specific protocols for how to use such vectors are disclosed in, e.g., VIRAPOWER.TM. Adenoviral Expression System (Invitrogen, Inc., Carlsbad, Calif.) and VIRAPOWER.TM. Adenoviral Expression System Instruction Manual 25-0543 version A, Invitrogen, Inc., (Jul. 15, 2002); and ADEASY.TM. Adenoviral Vector System (Stratagene, Inc., La Jolla, Calif.) and ADEASY.TM. Adenoviral Vector System Instruction Manual 064004f, Stratagene, Inc.
[0370] Polynucleotide molecule delivery can also use single-stranded RNA retroviruses, such as, e.g., oncoretroviruses and lentiviruses. Retroviral-mediated transduction often produce transduction efficiencies close to 100%, can easily control the proviral copy number by varying the multiplicity of infection (MOI), and can be used to either transiently or stably transduce cells, see, e.g., Tiziana Tonini et al., Transient production of retro viral-and lentiviral-based vectors for the transduction of Mammalian cells, 285 Methods Mol. Biol. 141-148 (2004); Armin Blesch, Lentiviral and MLV based retroviral vectors for ex vivo and in vivo gene transfer, 33(2) Methods 164-172 (2004); Felix Recillas-Targa, Gene transfer and expression in mammalian cell lines and transgenic animals, 267 Methods Mol. Biol. 417-433 (2004); and Roland Wolkowicz et al., Lentiviral vectors for the delivery of DNA into mammalian cells, 246 Methods Mol. Biol. 391-411 (2004). Retroviral particles consist of an RNA genome packaged in a protein capsid, surrounded by a lipid envelope. The retrovirus infects a host cell by injecting its RNA into the cytoplasm along with the reverse transcriptase enzyme. The RNA template is then reverse transcribed into a linear, double stranded cDNA that replicates itself by integrating into the host cell genome. Viral particles are spread both vertically (from parent cell to daughter cells via the provirus) as well as horizontally (from cell to cell via virions). This replication strategy enables long-term persistent expression since the nucleic acid molecules of interest are stably integrated into a chromosome of the host cell, thereby enabling long-term expression of the protein. For instance, animal studies have shown that lentiviral vectors injected into a variety of tissues produced sustained protein expression for more than 1 year, see, e.g., Luigi Naldini et al., In vivo gene delivery and stable transduction of non-dividing cells by a lentiviral vector, 272(5259) Science 263-267 (1996). The Oncoretroviruses-derived vector systems, such as, e.g., Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV), are widely used and infect many different non-dividing cells. Lentiviruses can also infect many different cell types, including dividing and non-dividing cells and possess complex envelope proteins, which allows for highly specific cellular targeting.
[0371] Retroviral vectors and specific protocols for how to use such vectors are disclosed in, e.g., Manfred Gossen & Hermann Bujard, Tight control of gene expression in eukaryotic cells by tetracycline-responsive promoters, U.S. Pat.

EXAMPLES
[0475] The following non-limiting examples are provided for illustrative purposes only in order to facilitate a more complete understanding of disclosed embodiments and are in no way intended to limit any of the embodiments disclosed in the present specification.
Example 1
Identification of Inactivation Cleavage Site Regions
[0476] This example illustrates how to identify regions within a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric suitable for modifying the toxin to comprise an inactivation cleavage site and how to make a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site.
[0477] To identify a location or locations in the protein structure suitable as a potential inactivation cleavage site region, the three-dimensional structure of a BoNT/A was initially analyzed by computer software to identify surface exposed loops or extended regions that would be more accessible to a protease. Of the regions predicted to be accessible, eight were selected for further analysis: amino acids 462-496 of SEQ ID NO: 1, amino acids 618-634 of SEQ ID NO: 1, amino acids 638-651 of SEQ ID NO: 1, amino acids 665-687 of SEQ ID NO: 1, amino acids 752-765 of SEQ ID NO: 1, and amino acids 826-835 of SEQ ID NO: 1, amino acids 844-863 of SEQ ID NO: 1, and amino acids 871-895 of SEQ ID NO: 1.
[0478] To determine whether a region identified by computer analysis could function as an inactivation cleavage site region, thrombin cleavage sites were genetically engineered into these regions using multi-primer mutagenesis and assayed for its ability to be cleaved by thrombin. A 50 .mu.L reaction was assembled comprising a primer pool of unidirectional oligonucleotide primers each containing the desired modification (125 ng of each primer) mixed in different ratios with a DNA template comprising an expression construct encoding a BoNT/A, such as, e.g., an expression construct comprising SEQ ID NO: 526 encoding SEQ ID NO: 527, or an expression construct comprising SEQ ID NO: 528 encoding SEQ ID NO: 529, that was hypermethylated with dam methylase. To this mixture was added 5 .mu.L of 10.times.PCR Buffer, 1 .mu.L of deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs), 1 .mu.L of 2.5 units/.mu.L PFUULTRA.TM. High Fidelity DNA polymerase (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.), Pfu DNA ligase, ATP, and nuclease-free water to a final volume of 50 .mu.L. The thermocycler conditions were: 30 cycles of 96.degree. C. for 1 minute, 60.degree. C. for 30 seconds, and 68.degree. C. for 20 minutes. Following thermocycling, 1 .mu.L of DpnI restriction enzyme (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.) was added to the reaction and incubated for 1 hour at 37.degree. C. to digest the template DNA and reduce the recovery of wild-type clones. The digested reaction mixture was transformed into electro-competent E. coli BL21(DE3) Acella cells (Edge BioSystems, Gaithersburg, Md.) by electroporation, plated on 1.5% Luria-Bertani agar plates (pH 7.0) containing 50 .mu.g/mL of kanamycin, and placed in a 37.degree. C. incubator for overnight growth. Bacteria containing expression constructs were identified as kanamycin resistant colonies. Candidate constructs were isolated using an alkaline lysis plasmid mini-preparation procedure and analyzed by sequencing to determine the frequency and identity of the mutations incorporated.

BoNT/A potency is calculated by dividing the EC.sub.50 value of the toxin into the EC.sub.50 value of the backbone control. ND is not determined.
[0479] To determine the expression level of soluble protein for each BoNT/A-TCS, an expression construct comprising each BoNT/A-TCS was expressed, purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography and analyzed by SDS-PAGE analysis. First, using a 96-well plate, 100 .mu.L of PA-0.5 G media containing 50 .mu.g/mL Kanamycin was inoculated with a single colony of BL21(DE3) cells harboring the appropriate expression construct and grown at 37.degree. C. with shaking overnight. A 5 .mu.L aliquot from this starter culture was used to inoculate 1 mL of ZYP-5052 containing 50 .mu.g/mL kanamycin and grown at 37.degree. C. with shaking for 3.5 hours and then 22.degree. C. for 16 hours. A 110 .mu.L aliquot of Protein Extraction Reagent comprising 10.times. FASTBREAK.TM. Cell Lysis Reagent (Promega Corp., Madison, Wis.), 250 U/mL Benzonase nuclease (EMD Biosciences-Novagen, Madison, Wis.), and 10.times. Protease Inhibitor Cocktail III (EMD Biosciences-Calbiochem, Gibbstown, N.J.) was added to each 1 mL expression culture in a 96-well plate. 75 .mu.L of HISLINK.TM. resin (Promega Corp., Madison, Wis.) was next transferred to each well and the mixture was alternately mixed by pipetting and by shaking at 900 rpm for 30 minutes. The lysates were transferred to a filter plate with a 25 .mu.m pore size (Promega Corp., Madison, Wis.), with membranes pre-wetted with water, and the liquid was removed by vacuum filtration. The resin was washed three times with 200 .mu.L Wash Buffer comprising 100 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM imidazole. The protein was eluted by adding 200 .mu.L Elution Buffer comprising 100 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 500 mM imidazole, incubating for 5 minutes and the elute collected by vacuum filtration into a 96-well plate.
[0480] To perform SDS-PAGE, an equal volume of 2.times. Laemmli Sample Buffer was added to the IMAC purified BoNT/A comprising a thrombin cleavage site, and the mixture incubated at 95.degree. C. for 5 minutes. A 15 .mu.L aliquot was loaded and separated by MOPS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using NUPAGE.RTM. Novex 4-12% Bis-Tris precast polyacrylamide gels (Invitrogen, Inc, Carlsbad, Calif.) under denaturing, reducing conditions. The gel was washed and fixed in 10% methanol and 7% acetic acid for 30 minutes. The wash solution was removed and the gel incubated in SYPRO Ruby protein gel stain solution for 3 hours to overnight at room temperature. The stained gel was destained in 10% methanol and 7% acetic acid for 30 minutes. The destained gel was visualized with a Fluro-S-Max digital imager (Bio-Rad).
[0481] The results of the expression analysis are given in Table 7. In general, toxins harboring an inserted thrombin cleavage site in the inactivation regions comprising amino acids 462-496 of SEQ ID NO: 1, amino acids 844-863, or amino acids 871-895 of SEQ ID NO: 1 were expressed well. For example, toxins comprising A489insLVPRGS was expressed at about 50% that of a wild-type control construct and toxins comprising D848insLVPRGS or N880insLVPRGS were expressed at, or near, control levels (Table 7). These results reveal that inactivation cleavage site regions located within the translocation domain and/or the H.sub.CN binding subdomain tolerated the modification of regions to include a protease cleavage site.
[0482] To further explore the extent to which the inactivation cleavage site regions identified could tolerate modifications that introduce a protease cleavage site, toxins were modified to include thrombin cleavage sites throughout the region. For example, toxins comprising T884insLVPRGS or L862ins LVPRGS were made to examine the inactivation cleavage site region comprising 844-863 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Similarly, toxins comprising E868insLVPRGS, delE868YIKNI-insLVPRGS, delN8721INTS-insLVPRGS, T876insLVPRGS, L879insVPRGS, delL879NLRYE-insLVPRGS, L881 insVPRGS, delL881 RYESN-insLVPRGS, Y883insLVPRGS, E884insLVPRGS, S885insLVPRGS, delH887LIDLS-insLVPRGS, L888insLVPRGS, L891insVPRG, and delS892RYA-insVPRG were made to examine the inactivation cleavage site region comprising 871-895 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Both insertion and substitution modifications were made to examine whether the type of modification had any affect. In general, all toxins harboring an inserted thrombin cleavage site in these inactivation regions were expressed at, or near, the levels of a wild-type control construct. These results reveal that inactivation cleavage site regions within the translocation domain and/or the H.sub.CN binding subdomain can tolerate modifications placed anywhere within an inactivation site region.
[0483] Lastly, the ability of an inactivation site region to tolerate the presence of two or more protease cleavage sites was examined (Table 7). These results indicate that inactivation cleavage site regions within the translocation domain and/or the H.sub.CN binding subdomain can tolerate modifications placing two or more protease cleavage sites within an inactivation site region.
[0484] To determine whether a BoNT/A comprising a thrombin cleavage site could be cleaved by thrombin, an in vitro thrombin cleavage assay was performed. 5 .mu.g of each purified BoNT/A-TCS was incubated with 1 U of Thrombin (Novagen) at 23.degree. C. for 1 hour, 3 hours, and 18.5 hours. A zero-enzyme control was also set up in parallel for each BoNT/A-TCS. Samples were taken at each time point and quenched with SDS-Loading Buffer including DTT and analyzed by SDS-PAGE as described above.
[0485] The results of the expression analysis are given in Table 7. In general, modification of an inactivation cleavage site region comprising amino acids 467-496, 844-863, or 871-895 of SEQ ID NO: 1 to include a protease cleavage site resulted in a toxin that was susceptible to proteolytic cleavage by the appropriate protease.
[0486] To determine whether a BoNT/A comprising a thrombin cleavage site maintained its potency, a BoNT/A activity assay was performed using a cell-based activity assay. To conduct a cell-based activity assay, about 1.2.times.10.sup.6 Neuro-2a or SiMa cells were plated into the wells of 24-well tissue culture plates containing 1 mL of serum-free medium containing Minimum Essential Medium, 2 mM GLUTAMAX.TM. I with Earle's salts, 1.times.B27 supplement, 1.times. N2 supplement, 0.1 mM Non-Essential Amino Acids, 10 mM HEPES and 25 .mu.g/mL GT1b. The cells were incubated in a 37.degree. C. incubator under 5% carbon dioxide until the cells differentiated, as assessed by standard and routine morphological criteria, such as growth arrest and neurite extension (approximately 3 days). The media was aspirated from each well and replaced with either 1) fresh media containing no toxin (untreated cell line) or 2) fresh media containing 1 nM of a BoNT/A complex (treated cell line). After an overnight incubation, the cells were washed by aspirating the media and rinsing each well with 200 .mu.L of 1.times.PBS. To harvest the cells, the 1.times.PBS was aspirated, the cells were lysed by adding 50 .mu.l of 2.times.SDS Loading Buffer, the lysate was transferred to a clean test tube and the sample was heated to 95.degree. C. for 5 minutes.
[0487] To detect for the presence of cleaved SNAP-25 products, an aliquot from each harvested sample was analyzed by Western blot. In this analysis, a 12 .mu.l aliquot of the harvested sample was separated by MOPS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using NUPAGE.RTM. Novex 12% Bis-Tris precast polyacrylamide gels (Invitrogen Inc., Carlsbad, Calif.) under denaturing, reducing conditions. Separated peptides were transferred from the gel onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Invitrogen Inc., Carlsbad, Calif.) by Western blotting using a TRANS-BLOT.RTM. SD semi-dry electrophoretic transfer cell apparatus (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, Calif.). PVDF membranes were blocked by incubating at room temperature for 2 hours in a solution containing Tris-Buffered Saline (TBS) (25 mM 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol hydrochloric acid (Tris-HCl)(pH 7.4), 137 mM sodium chloride, 2.7 mM potassium chloride), 0.1% TWEEN-20.RTM. (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate), 2% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), 5% nonfat dry milk. Blocked membranes were incubated at 4.degree. C. for overnight in TBS, 0.1% TWEEN-20.RTM. (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate), 2% BSA, and 5% nonfat dry milk containing either 1) a 1:5,000 dilution of an .alpha.-SNAP-25 mouse monoclonal antibody as the primary antibody (SMI-81; Sternberger Monoclonals Inc., Lutherville, Md.); or 2) a 1:5,000 dilution of S9684 .alpha.-SNAP-25 rabbit polyclonal antiserum as the primary antibody (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.). Both .alpha.-SNAP-25 mouse monoclonal and rabbit polyclonal antibodies can detect both the uncleaved SNAP-25 substrate and the SNAP-25 cleavage product, allowing for the assessment of overall SNAP-25 expression in each cell line and the percent of SNAP-25 cleaved after BoNT/A treatment as a parameter to assess the amount of BoNT/A uptake. Primary antibody probed blots were washed three times for 15 minutes each time in TBS, TWEEN-20.RTM. (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate). Washed membranes were incubated at room temperature for 2 hours in TBS, 0.1% TWEEN-20.RTM. (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate), 2% BSA, and 5% nonfat dry milk containing either 1) a 1:10,000 dilution of goat polyclonal anti-mouse immunoglobulin G, heavy and light chains (IgG, H+L) antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (Zymed, South San Francisco, Calif.) as a secondary antibody; or 2) a 1:10,000 dilution of goat polyclonal anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G, heavy and light chains (IgG, H+L) antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (Zymed, South San Francisco, Calif.) as a secondary antibody. Secondary antibody-probed blots were washed three times for 15 minutes each time in TBS, 0.1% TWEEN-20.RTM. (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate). Signal detection of the labeled SNAP-25 products were visualized using the ECL PIus.TM. Western Blot Detection System (GE Healthcare, Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, N.J.) and the membrane was imaged and the percent of cleaved quantified with a Typhoon 9410 Variable Mode Imager and Imager Analysis software (GE Healthcare, Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, N.J.). The choice of pixel size (100 to 200 pixels) and PMT voltage settings (350 to 600, normally 400) depended on the individual blot.
[0488] The results of the expression analysis are given in Table 7. In general, modification of an inactivation cleavage site region comprising amino acids 467-496, 844-863, or 871-895 of SEQ ID NO: 1 to include a protease cleavage site resulted in a potent toxin that was able to execute the overall intoxication process.
[0489] Taken together, these results indicate that although eight different inactivation cleavage regions were identified, not all were able to support the insertion of a functional thrombin cleavage site. In general, modification of the inactivation cleavage site regions comprising amino acids 467-496, 844-863 and 871-895 of SEQ ID NO: 1 to include a protease cleavage site resulted in a stably produced toxin that was able to execute the overall intoxication process and was sensitive to proteolytic cleavage by the appropriate protease.
[0490] Because the three-dimensional structure of all Clostridial toxins are similar, the corresponding locations in BoNT/B, BoNT/C1, BoNT/D, BoNT/E, BoNT/F, BoNT/G, TeNT, BaNT, and BuNT are also suitable as inactivation cleavage site regions. Table 5 lists these regions.

Protease Cleavage Site Analysis
[0491] This example illustrates how to make a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site.
[0492] To explore whether protease cleavage sites other than thrombin could be useful as an inactivation site, toxins comprising many different protease cleavage sites were examined.
[0493] To make a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site, protease cleavage sites were genetically engineered into inactivation cleavage site regions using multi-primer mutagenesis as described in Example 1. Table 8 lists the expression constructs modified to contain a protease cleavage site.
[0494] To determine whether a BoNT/A comprising a protease cleavage site could be cleaved by its cognate protease, in vitro protease cleavage assays was performed essentially as described above, but using the appropriate protease instead of thrombin. Samples were taken at each time point and quenched with SDS-Loading Buffer including DTT, and analyzed by SDS-PAGE as described in Example 1.
[0495] The results of the expression analysis are given in Table 7. In general, modification of an inactivation cleavage site region comprising amino acids 467-496, 844-863, or 871-895 of SEQ ID NO: 1 to include a protease cleavage site resulted in a toxin that was susceptible to proteolytic cleavage by the appropriate protease.

[0496] To determine whether a BoNT/A comprising a protease cleavage site maintained its potency, the cell-based activity assay described above was performed (Table 8). In general, toxins comprising a protease cleavage site that exhibited an EC.sub.50 of about 20 or less were deemed to retain enough potency to warranted evaluation using an animal-based assay.
Example 3
In Vivo Analysis
[0497] This example illustrates how to evaluate a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site using an animal-based assay analysis.
[0498] Although the cell-based activity assay is a good assessment of whether a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site can be cleaved by its cognate protease, certain candidates were selected for evaluation in an animal-based assay.
[0499] To test the activity of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site using an animal-based assay, an in vivo Digit Abduction Score (DAS) assay was initially performed. CD-1 Fe mice were weighed and placed into subsets of 10 animals for each discrete DAS assay. Mice were included into a particular subset based on the following criteria: 1) good health; 2) robust baseline DAS response of 0; 3) inclusion in a median weight range of X.+-.2 g established for the selected subset and 4) weight greater than 17.0 g.
[0500] Each mouse was injected using a 30-gauge needle in the gastrocnemius muscle of the right hind limb with either 1) 5 .mu.L of 10.0 nM BoNT/A comprising an inactivation cleavage site (single-dose DAS study); or 2) 5 .mu.L of one of seven different doses of BoNT/A comprising an inactivation cleavage site (0.01 nM, 0.04 nM, 0.12 nM, 0.37 nM, 1.11 nM, 3.33 nM and 10.0 nM; Full-Dosing DAS study). As a control, the gastrocnemius muscle of the left hind limb was injected with 5 .mu.L of a solution not containing any toxin. Mice were observed for the DAS response consecutively for the first 4 days. The DAS was read by lifting each mouse by the tail and precisely observing the injected hind limbs. The abduction or no abduction of the hind digits reveals the effect of paralysis due to the test toxin injected in the muscle. The digit abduction of the injected hind limb was compared with that of the non-injected hind limb and scored accordingly. DAS data was analyzed by calculating the ED.sub.50 dose based on peak mean DAS score and AUC (area under the curve) in terms of u/Kg and/or ng/Kg. This was accomplished as follows: 1) the mean peak DAS score for each dose was calculated in each study; 2) any dose that elicited more than five deaths in any study was eliminated from consideration; 3) the highest dose used in a given individual study was the lowest dose which elicited an average peak of 4.0; 4) the lowest dose used in a given individual study was the highest dose which elicited an average peak of 0; 5) curves were constructed for each individual study of average peak DAS vs. log (dose); 6) an AUC value was calculated for each group of 10 mice of the multiple groups in some studies; 7) curves were constructed for each individual study of average AUC vs. log (dose); 8) an x, y replicate response curve was constructed for each set of multiple identical studies; for each test toxin; 9) dose-response data were analyzed by non-linear regression (non-weighted) using a three-parameter logistic equation (Sigma Plot v 8.0; SPSS Science, Chicago, Ill.) using the following equation:
y=a/(1+(x/x0).sup.b)
where y is the response, a is the asymptotic y.sub.max, b is the slope, x is the dose, and 0 is the ED.sub.50 dose, For peak ED.sub.50 determinations, Y.sub.max was set to 4 (maximum DAS reading on scale). Mean (peak and/or AUC) ED.sub.50 values were computed for each eight-dose study performed.
[0501] The results indicate that (Table 9). In general, toxins comprising an inactivation cleavage site that exhibited a relative potency of about 10 or above were deemed to retain enough potency to warranted evaluation of its safety margin.
[0502] To determine the safety margin of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site, a mouse lethality assay was performed.
[0503] To calculate the safety margin of a Clostridial toxin or Clostridial toxin chimeric comprising an inactivation cleavage site, the LD.sub.50 value obtained from the mouse lethality assay was divided by the EC.sub.50 value obtained from a full-dosing DAS study. A toxin comprising an inactivation cleavage site was deemed to possess enough activity at the inactivation cleavage site if it exhibited a safety margin value of about 15 or more.
