    Abstract: The invention provides an alternative method of reversible aggregation and/or dissociation of polypeptides. Proteins or polypeptides according to the invention have an inherent aggregation capability, wherein the aggregation is an oligomerization of the polypeptide that is based on the presence and the strucuture of peptide repeats localized in a flexibly disordered domain of this polypeptide. The flexibly disordered domain comprising the peptide repeats preferrably is located in close proximity with the N-terminus of the protein amino acid sequence. Preferably, each of the peptide repeats has a sequence that comprises one to four identical octapeptides with the amino acid sequence: PHGGGWGQ. Preferred proteins are selected from the group comprising cellular prion proteins (PrPC) and engineered polypeptides or fusion proteins with a respective inherent reversible aggregation and dissociation capability. Because of the new mechanism of aggregation, the oligomerization reaction of the protein is reversible in a fluidic environment depending on the pH of this fluidic environment. Oligomerization occurs at a pH of 6.2 to 7.8, and the dissociation into monomers is reported to be at a pH range of 4.5 to 5.5. 1

    Abstract: Disclosed is the first crystal structure in the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family, the mouse CEACAM1anull1,4null, containing the N-terminal functional domain that is characterized as having a uniquely folded CCnull loop. This novel feature could not be predicted based on sequence analysis alone. The structure has provided a prototypic architecture for modeling human homologues within the CEA family. These tertiary structures are used in a number of screening methods for identifying candidate molecules that have a binding affinity for the tertiary structure of the CCnull loop and its vicinity. Pharmaceutical preparations that include one or more of such identified candidates may then be provided and used in treatments for certain bacterial and viral infections, certain tumors and disorders of angiogenesis or immune responses and autoimmune disease.

    Abstract: Novel insulin precursors and insulin precursor analogs having a mini C-peptide comprising at least one aromatic amino acid residue have an increased folding stability. The novel insulin precursors and insulin precursor analogs can be expressed in yeast in high yields and are preferably not more 15 amino acid residues in length. Also provided are polynucleotide sequences encoding the claimed precursors or precursor analogs, and vectors and cell lines containing such polynucleotide sequences.
