    摘要: The present disclosure includes catalytically active truncations of a protein, referred to as a PnSPase protein, that degrade the capsular polysaccharide of serotype 3 Streptococcus pneumoniae. The disclosure includes a genetically modified cell that includes a PnSPase protein of the present disclosure, and compositions that include the protein, the polynucleotide encoding the protein, the genetically modified cell, or a combination thereof. Also provided are methods for using a PnSPase protein of the present disclosure, including methods for contacting a S. pneumoniae having a type III capsular polysaccharide with a PnSPase protein, increasing deposition of at least one complement component on the surface of a S. pneumoniae, treating an infection in a subject, treating a symptom in a subject, decreasing colonization of a subject by S. pneumoniae, or a combination thereof.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods related to an alpha sKlotho variant or fragment, in which 1 to up to about 20 amino acids have been deleted from the C-terminus, optionally also having mutations at V563 and/or K795. The present disclosure also pertains to an alpha sKlotho polypeptide variant or fragment, having mutations at V563 and/or K795, wherein the polypeptide variant or fragment is full-length, or optionally 1 to up to about 20 amino acids have been deleted from the C-terminus. The present disclosure also pertains to fusion polypeptides comprising: (a) an alpha sKlotho, in which 1 to up to about 20 amino acids have been deleted from the C-terminus, optionally also having mutations at V563 and/or K795; (b) a linker; and (c) FGF23, optionally having a mutation at R179, C206 and/or C244, or (c) serum albumin.
