    摘要: The present disclosure provides for proprotein and activatable proprotein compositions. A proprotein contains a functional protein (i.e. a full length protein or functional fragment thereof) which is coupled to a peptide mask that inhibits the binding of the functional protein to its target or binding partner. An activatable proprotein contains a functional protein coupled to a peptide mask, and further coupled to an activatable linker, wherein in an non-activated state, the peptide mask inhibits binding of the functional protein to its target or binding partner and in an activated state the peptide mask does not inhibit binding of the functional protein to its target or binding partner. Proproteins can provide for reduced toxicity and adverse side effects that could otherwise result from binding of a functional protein at non-treatment sites if it were not inhibited from binding its binding partner. Proproteins can further provide improved biodistribution characteristics. Proproteins containing a peptide mask can display a longer in vivo or serum half-life than the corresponding functional protein not containing a peptide mask. The disclosure further provides methods of screening for, making, and using these proproteins.

    摘要: Provided herein are methods of treating a subject by administering a combination of an activatable cytokine construct (ACC) and a PD-1/PD-L1 pathway inhibitor in which the ACC includes: a first monomer construct including an optional first peptide mask (PM1), an optional third cleavable moiety (CM3), a first mature cytokine protein (CP1), a first cleavable moiety (CM1), and a first dimerization domain (DD1), wherein the CM1 is positioned between the CP1 and the DD1; and a second monomer construct including an optional second peptide mask (PM2), an optional forth cleavable moiety (CM4), a second mature cytokine protein (CP2), a second cleavable moiety (CM2), and a second dimerization domain (DD2), wherein the CM2 is positioned between the CP2 and the DD2; wherein the DD1 and the DD2 bind to each other thereby forming a dimer of the first monomer construct and the second monomer construct; and where the ACC is characterized by a reduction in at least one activity of the CP1 and/or CP2 as compared to a control level of the at least one activity of the CP1 and/or CP2.
