    Abstract: The instant invention provides binding proteins (“CD38-binding proteins”) which each comprise (1) a CD38-binding region for cell-targeting and (2) a Shiga toxin A Subunit effector polypeptide (“Shiga toxin effector polypeptide”). The Shiga toxin effector polypeptide components of the CD38-binding proteins may comprise a combination of mutations relative to a wild-type Shiga toxin sequence providing (1) de-immunization and/or (2) a reduction in protease sensitivity; wherein each Shiga toxin effector polypeptide retains one or more Shiga toxin function, such as, e.g., stimulating cellular internalization, directing intracellular routing, catalytic activity, and/or potent cytotoxicity. The CD38-binding proteins may have one or multiple uses, e.g., the selective killing of a specific CD38-expressing cell-type; and more generally, for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers and disorders involving CD38-expressing cells, e.g., in CD38-positive hematopoietic cancers such as multiple myeloma.

    Abstract: The present invention provides Shiga toxin A Subunit derived polypeptides, scaffolds, and cell-targeting molecules comprising amino acid substitutions which equip the molecules with site-specific positions (and often unique amino acid residues in the molecule) for linking other molecules while retaining Shiga toxin function(s), such as, e.g., efficient intracellular routing and/or potent cytotoxicity. The present invention also provides cell-targeting molecules, and/or components thereof, which comprise site-specific positions for linking other molecules, such as, e.g., agents that alters a property of the cell-targeting molecule or a cargo for delivery. Certain molecules comprising a polypeptide of the present invention exhibit reduced immunogenicity and/or are well-tolerated by mammals. The cell-targeting molecules of the present invention, and compositions thereof, have uses, e.g., for the selective delivery of cargos to target-expressing cells and as diagnostic and/or therapeutic molecules for the treatment of a variety of diseases, disorders, and conditions, which include genetic disorders, genetic predispositions, infections, cancers, tumors, growth abnormalities, and/or immune disorders.

    Abstract: The present invention provides CD20-binding proteins that bind to and rapidly internalize CD20 antigens from a cell surface location to the interior of a cell. CD20-binding proteins of the invention comprise a CD20 binding region and a Shiga toxin effector region. Certain of the disclosed CD20-binding proteins kill cells that express CD20 on their surface. Further, the presently disclosed CD20-binding proteins can comprise additional exogenous materials and are capable of targeted delivery of these additional exogenous materials into the interior of CD20 expressing cells. Such additional materials may include peptides, antigens, enzymes, and polynucleotides. These CD20-binding proteins have uses in methods of internalizing themselves, targeted killing of CD20 expressing cells, delivering exogenous materials into CD20 expressing cells, and treating a variety of diseases involving CD20 expressing cells, such as cancers and immune disorders.

    Abstract: The present invention provides cell-targeting molecules which can deliver a CD8+ T-cell epitope cargo to the MHC class I presentation pathway of a target cell. The cell-targeting molecules of the invention can be used to deliver virtually any CD8+ T-cell epitope from an extracellular space to the MHC class I pathway of a target cell, which may be a malignant cell and/or non-immune cell. The target cell can then display on a cell-surface the delivered CD8+ T-cell epitope complexed with MHC I molecule. The cell-targeting molecules of the invention have uses which include the targeted labeling and/or killing of specific cell-types within a mixture of cell-types, including within a chordate, as well as the stimulation of beneficial immune responses. The cell-targeting molecules of the invention have uses, e.g., in the treatment of a variety of diseases, disorders, and conditions, including cancers, tumors, growth abnormalities, immune disorders, and microbial infections.
