Description

PROSTATE-SPECIFIC NE ANTIGEN BINDING PROTEINS AND RELATED COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS This application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application no. 61/478,449, filed April 22, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference in its ty.

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to mono-specific and multi-specific protein therapeutics that specifically target cells expressing prostate-specific ne antigen (PSMA) and are useful for the treatment of disorders characterized by pression of PSMA, such as, for example, prostate cancer (e.g., te-resistant prostate cancer), related angiogenesis, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In one embodiment, the multi-specific protein therapeutic binds both PSMA-expressing cells and the T-cell receptor complex on T cells to induce dependent T-cell cytotoxicity, activation and eration.

Background Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), also known as glutamate carboxypeptidase II and N-acetylated alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase 1, is a dimeric type II transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the M28 peptidase family encoded by the gene FOLH1 (folate hydrolase 1). The protein acts as a glutamate ypeptidase on different alternative substrates, including the nutrient folate and the neuropeptide N-acetyl-l-aspartyl-lglutamate and is expressed in a number of tissues such as the prostate, and to a lesser extent, the small intestine, central and peripheral nervous system and kidney. The gene encoding PSMA is alternatively spliced to produce at least three variants. A mutation in this gene may be ated with impaired intestinal absorption of dietary s, resulting in low blood folate levels and uent hyperhomocysteinemia. Expression of this protein in the AH25(10245389_1):GCC brain may be involved in a number of pathological conditions associated with glutamate excitotoxicity.

PSMA is a well-established, highly restricted prostate-cancer-related cell membrane antigen. In prostate cancer cells, PSMA is expressed 1000-fold higher than on normal prostate epithelium (Su ei al., Cancer Res. 1995 44:1441-1443). Expression of PSMA increases with prostate cancer progression and is highest in metastatic disease, hormone refractory cases, and higher-grade lesions (Israeli et a/., Cancer Res. 1994, 54:1807-181 1; Wright et a/., Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations 1995 1:18-28; Wright et al., Urology 1996 48:326-332; Sweat et al., Urology 1998 52:637-640). onally, PSMA is abundantly expressed on the neovasculature of a variety of other solid , including bladder, pancreas, ma, lung and kidney s, but not on normal neovasculature (Chang et al., Urology 57:801-805; Divgi e a/., Clin. Cancer Res. 1998 4:2729-3279).

PSMA has been shown to be an ant target for immunological ches such as vaccines or directed therapy with monoclonal antibodies. Unlike other prostaterestricted molecules that are secretory proteins (PSA, prostatic acid phosphatase), PSMA is an integral cell-surface membrane protein that is not secreted, which makes it an ideal target for antibody therapy. PROSTASCINT® (capromab ide) is an 111 In-labelled anti- PSMA murine monoclonal antibody approved by the FDA for imaging and staging of newly diagnosed and recurrent prostate cancer patients (Hinkle er a/., Cancer 1998, 83:739-747). r, capromab binds to an intracellular epitope of PSMA, requiring internalization or exposure of the internal domain of PSMA, therefore preferentially binding apoptotic or necrosing cells (Troyer er a/., ic gy: Seminars and Original Investigations 1995 1:29-37; Troyer er a/., Prostate 1997 30:232-242). As a result, capromab may not be of therapeutic benefit (Liu et al., Cancer Res. 1997 57:3629-3634).

Other monoclonal antibodies which target the external domain of PSMA have been developed (e.g., J591, J415, J533, and E99) (Liu et al., Cancer Res. 1997 57:3629-3634).

Radiolabeled J591 is currently in clinical trials a et al., Cancer 2010 116(S4):1075).

However, evidence suggests that PSMA may act as a receptor mediating the internalization of a putative ligand. PSMA undergoes internalization constitutively, and PSMA-specific antibodies can induce and/or increase the rate of alization, which then causes the antibodies to accumulate in the endosomes (Liu er al., Cancer Res. 1998 58:4055-4060).

While PSMA-specific internalizing antibodies may aid in the development of eutics to target the delivery of toxins, drugs, or radioisotopes to the or of prostate cancer cells (Tagawa et al., Cancer 2010 116(S4):1075), PSMA-specific antibodies utilizing native or engineered effector isms (e.g., antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), ment-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP), or re-directed T-cell cytotoxicity ) are problematic since the PSMA-specific antibody may be internalized before it is recognized by effector cells.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION General Descripti on The invention provides PSMA-binding polypeptides and proteins that specifically bind prostate-specific ne antigen (PSMA). Administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a PSMA-binding polypeptide or protein of the invention to a patient in need thereof is useful for treatment of n disorders associated with the over-expression of PSMA, including n cancers and prostate disorders. In one embodiment, the PSMA- binding polypeptide or protein simultaneously bind a target cell over-expressing PSMA and a T-cell, thereby "cross-linking" the target cell over-expressing PSMA and the T-cell. The binding of both domains to their targets elicits potent target-dependent cted T-cell cytotoxicity (RTCC) (e.g., induces target-dependent T-cell cytotoxicity, T-cell activation and T-cell eration).

The section headings used herein are for organizational purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the subject matter described. All documents, or portions of documents, cited herein, including but not limited to patents, patent ations, articles, books, and ses, are hereby expressly incorporated by reference in their ty for any purpose. In the event that one or more of the incorporated documents or portions of documents define a term that contradicts that term's definition in the application, the definition that appears in this application controls.

In the present description, any concentration range, percentage range, ratio range, or integer range is to be understood to e the value of any integer within the recited range and, when appropriate, fractions thereof (such as one tenth and one hundredth of an integer), unless otherwise ted. As used herein, "about" means ± 20% of the indicated range, value, or structure, unless ise indicated. It should be understood that the terms "a" and "an" as used herein refer to "one or more" of the enumerated components unless otherwise indicated. The use of the alternative (e.g., "or") should be tood to mean either one, both, or any combination thereof of the alternatives. As used herein, the terms de" and "comprise" are used synonymously. In addition, it should be understood that the polypeptides sing the various combinations of the components (e.g., domains or regions) and substituents described herein, are disclosed by the present application to the same extent as if each ptide was set forth individually. Thus, selection of particular components of individual polypeptides is within the scope of the present disclosure.

II. Definitions As used herein, the term "binding domain" or "binding " refers to the domain, region, portion, or site of a protein, polypeptide, oligopeptide, or peptide that possesses the ability to specifically recognize and bind to a target molecule, such as an antigen, ligand, receptor, substrate, or inhibitor (e.g., CD3, PSMA). Exemplary binding domains include single-chain antibody variable regions (e.g., domain antibodies, sFv, scFv, scFab), receptor ectodomains, and ligands (e.g., cytokines, chemokines). In certain embodiments, the binding domain ses or ts of an antigen binding site (e.g., comprising a variable heavy chain ce and le light chain sequence or three light chain complementary determining regions (CDRs) and three heavy chain CDRs from an antibody placed into alternative framework regions (FRs) (e.g., human FRs ally comprising one or more amino acid substitutions). A variety of assays are known for identifying binding domains of the present disclosure that specifically bind a particular target, including Western blot, ELISA, phage display library screening, and E® interaction analysis. As used herein, a PSMA-binding polypeptide can have a "first binding domain" and, ally, a "second binding domain." In certain embodiments, the "first binding domain" is a PSMA- binding domain and, depending on the ular polypeptide format (e.g., SMIP or PIMS), can be located at either the amino- or carboxyl-terminus. In certain embodiments comprising both the first and second binding domains, the second binding domain is a T cell binding domain such as a scFv derived from a mouse monoclonal antibody (e.g., CRIS-7) that binds to a T cell surface antigen (e.g., CD3). In other embodiments, the second binding domain is a second PSMA-binding domain. In yet other embodiments, the second binding domain is a binding domain other than a PSMA-binding domain or a T cell binding domain.

A binding domain "specifically binds" a target if it binds the target with an affinity or K (i.e., an equilibrium association constant of a particular binding interaction with units of 1/M) equal to or r than 05 M , while not significantly binding other components present in a test sample. Binding domains can be classified as "high ty" binding domains and "low ty" binding domains. "High affinity" binding domains refer to those binding domains with a K of at least 107 M , at least 108 M 1 , at least 109 M 1 , at least 1010 M , at least 10 1 1 M 1, at least 1012 M 1 , or at least 1013 M . "Low affinity" binding domains refer to those binding domains with a K of up to 107 M , up to 106 M up to 05 M~ .

Alternatively, affinity can be defined as an equilibrium dissociation nt (K ) of a particular binding interaction with units of M (e.g., 10 5 M to 0 3 M). Affinities of binding domain polypeptides and single chain polypeptides according to the t sure can be readily determined using conventional techniques (see, e.g., ard et al. (1949) Ann.

N.Y. Acad. Sci. 5 1:660; and U.S. Patent Nos. 5,283,173, 5,468,614, or the equivalent).

"CD3" is known in the art as a multi-protein complex of six chains (see, e.g., Abbas and Lichtman, 2003; Janeway et al., p. 172 and 178, 1999), which are subunits of the T cell receptor complex. In mammals, the CD3 subunits of the T cell receptor complex are a CD3y chain, a CD36 chain, two CD3 chains, and a homodimer of 3z chains. The CD3y, CD36, and CD3e chains are highly related cell surface proteins of the immunoglobulin superfamily containing a single immunoglobulin domain. The transmembrane regions of the CD3y, CD35, and CD3e chains are negatively d, which is a characteristic that allows these chains to associate with the positively charged T cell receptor chains. The intracellular tails of the CD3y, CD36, and CD3e chains each contain a single conserved motif known as an receptor tyrosine-based activation motif or ITAM, whereas each 3z chain has three. It is believed the ITAMs are important for the signaling capacity of a TCR complex.

CD3 as used in the present disclosure can be from s animal species, including human, monkey, mouse, rat, or other mammals.

As used herein, a "conservative tution" is recognized in the art as a substitution of one amino acid for another amino acid that has similar properties. Exemplary conservative substitutions are well-known in the art (see, e.g., WO 97/09433, page 10, published March 13, 1997; Lehninger, Biochemistry, Second Edition; Worth Publishers, Inc.

NY: Y , pp.71 -77; Lewin, Genes IV, Oxford University Press, NY and Cell Press, Cambridge, MA (1990), p. 8). In certain embodiments, a conservative substitution includes a leucine to serine substitution.

As used herein, the term "derivative" refers to a modification of one or more amino acid es of a peptide by chemical or biological means, either with or t an enzyme, e.g., by glycosylation, alkylation, acylation, ester formation, or amide formation.

As used herein, a polypeptide or amino acid sequence "derived from" a designated polypeptide or protein refers to the origin of the polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide or amino acid ce which is derived from a particular sequence (sometimes referred to as the "starting" or "parent" or "parental" ce) has an amino acid sequence that is essentially identical to the starting sequence or a portion f, wherein the portion consists of at least 10-20 amino acids, at least 20-30 amino acids, or at least 30-50 amino acids, or at least 50-1 50 amino acids, or which is otherwise identifiable to one of ordinary skill in the art as having its origin in the starting ce.

Polypeptides derived from another polypeptide can have one or more mutations relative to the starting polypeptide, e.g., one or more amino acid residues which have been substituted with another amino acid residue or which has one or more amino acid e insertions or ons. The polypeptide can comprise an amino acid sequence which is not naturally occurring. Such variations necessarily have less than 100% sequence identity or similarity with the starting polypeptide. In one embodiment, the variant will have an amino acid sequence from about 60% to less than 100% amino acid sequence identity or similarity with the amino acid sequence of the starting ptide. In another embodiment, the t will have an amino acid sequence from about 75% to less thant 100%, from about 80% to less than 100%, from about 85% to less than 100%, from about 90% to less than 100%, from about 95% to less than 100% amino acid sequence ty or similarity with the amino acid sequence of the starting polypeptide.

As used herein, unless otherwise provided, a position of an amino acid residue in a variable region of an immunoglobulin molecule is ed according to the Kabat numbering convention , Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th ed.

Bethesda, MD: Public Health Service, al Institutes of Health (1991)), and a on of an amino acid residue in a constant region of an immunoglobulin molecule is numbered according to EU lature (Ward et al., 1995 Therap. Immunol. 2:77-94).

As used herein, the term "dimer" refers to a biological entity that consists of two subunits ated with each other via one or more forms of olecular forces, including covalent bonds (e.g., disulfide bonds) and other interactions (e.g., electrostatic interactions, salt bridges, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions), and is stable under appropriate conditions (e.g., under physiological conditions, in an aqueous solution suitable for expressing, purifying, and/or storing recombinant proteins, or under conditions for non- denaturing and/or non-reducing electrophoresis). A "heterodimer" or "heterodimeric protein," as used herein, refers to a dimer formed from two different polypeptides. A heterodimer does not include an antibody formed from four polypeptides (i.e., two light chains and two heavy chains). A "homodimer" or imeric protein," as used herein, refers to a dimer formed from two cal polypeptides.

As used herein, a "hinge " or a "hinge" refers to a polypeptide derived from (a) an interdomain region of a transmembrane protein (e.g., a type I transmembrane protein); or (b) a stalk region of a type II C-lectin. For example, a hinge region can be derived from an omain region of an globulin amily member; suitable hinge regions within this particular class include (i) immunoglobulin hinge regions (made up of, for e, upper and/or core region(s)) or functional variants thereof, including wildtype and altered immunoglobulin hinges, and (ii) regions (or functional variants thereof) that connect immunoglobulin V-like or immunoglobulin C-like domains.

A "wild-type immunoglobulin hinge region" refers to a naturally occurring upper and middle hinge amino acid sequences interposed between and connecting the CH1 and CH2 domains (for IgG, IgA, and IgD) or interposed between and connecting the CH1 and CH3 domains (for IgE and IgM) found in the heavy chain of an antibody. In certain embodiments, a wild type immunoglobulin hinge region sequence is human, and can se a human IgG hinge region.

A n "altered wild-type immunoglobulin hinge region" or "altered immunoglobulin hinge region" refers to (a) a wild type immunoglobulin hinge region with up to 30% amino acid changes [e.g., up to 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, or 5% amino acid substitutions or deletions), or (b) a portion of a wild type immunoglobulin hinge region that has a length of about 5 amino acids (e.g., about 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 amino acids) up to about 120 amino acids (for instance, having a length of about 10 to about 40 amino acids or about 15 to about 30 amino acids or about 15 to about 20 amino acids or about 20 to about 25 amino acids), has up to about 30% amino acid changes (e.g., up to about 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1% amino acid substitutions or deletions or a combination thereof), and has an IgG core hinge region as disclosed in PCT/US201 0/62436 and PCT/US20 10/62404.

As used herein, the term "humanized" refers to a process of making an antibody or immunoglobulin binding proteins and polypeptides derived from a non-human species (e.g., mouse or rat) less immunogenic to , while still retaining n-binding properties of the original antibody, using genetic engineering techniques. In some embodiments, the binding domain(s) of an antibody or immunoglobulin binding proteins and polypeptides (e.g., light and heavy chain le regions, Fab, scFv) are humanized. Non-human binding domains can be humanized using techniques known as CDR ng (Jones et al., Nature 2 (1986)) and ts thereof, including "reshaping" (Verhoeyen, et al., 1988 Science 239:1534-1536; Riechmann, at al., 1988 Nature 332:323-337; Tempest, et al., Blo/Technoi 1991 9:268-271), "hyperchimerization" (Queen, t al., 1989 Proc Natl Acad Sc USA 29-10033; Co, et al., 1991 Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 88:2869-2873; Co, et al., 1992 Immunol 148:1 149-1 154), and "veneering" (Mark, et al., "Derivation of therapeutically active humanized and veneered anti-CD18 antibodies. In: etca f 8W, Daiton BJ, e s. Cellular adhesion: lar definition to therapeutic potential. New York: Plenum Press, 1994: 291- 3 ). If derived from a man source, other regions of the antibody or immunoglobulin binding proteins and polypeptides, such as the hinge region and constant region domains, can also be humanized A n "immunoglobulin dimerization domain" or "immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain", as used , refers to an immunoglobulin domain of a polypeptide chain that preferentially interacts or associates with a different immunoglobulin domain of a second polypeptide chain, wherein the interaction of the different immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains ntially contributes to or efficiently promotes heterodimerization of the first and second polypeptide chains (i.e., the ion of a dimer between two different polypeptide , which is also referred to as a "heterodimer"). The interactions n immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains "substantially contributes to or efficiently promotes" the heterodimerization of first and second polypeptide chains if there is a statistically significant reduction in the dimerization between the first and second polypeptide chains in the absence of the immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain of the first polypeptide chain and/or the globulin heterodimerization domain of the second polypeptide chain. In certain embodiments, when the first and second polypeptide chains are ressed, at least 60%, at least about 60% to about 70%, at least about 70% to about 80%, at least 80% to about 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the first and second polypetpide chains form heterodimers with each other.

In certain embodiments, the immunoglobulin constant region ponds to or is derived from part or all of one or more nt region domains, but not all constant region domains of a source antibody. In certain embodiments, the constant region comprises IgG CH2 and CH3 s, e.g., lgG1 CH2 and CH3 domains. In certain embodiments, the constant region does not comprise a CH1 domain. In certain embodiments, the constant region domains making up the constant region are human. In some embodiments (for example, in certain variations of a PSMA-binding polypeptide or protein comprising a second binding domain that specifically binds CD3 or r T cell surface antigen), the nt region domains of a fusion protein of this disclosure lack or have minimal effector functions of antibody-dependent ediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement activation and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), while retaining the ability to bind some F receptors (such as F Rn, the neonatal Fc receptor) and retaining a relatively long half life in vivo n other variations, a fusion protein of this disclosure includes constant domains that retain such effector function of one or both of ADCC and CDC. In certain embodiments, a binding domain of this disclosure is fused to a human igG1 constant region, wherein the lgG1 constant region has one or more of the following amino acids mutated: leucine at position 234 , leucine at position 235 (L235), glycine at position 237 , glutamate at position 3 8 (£318), lysine at position 320 (K320), lysine at on 322 (K322), or any combination thereof (numbering according to EU).

In a further embodiment, an lgG1 Fc domain has each of L234, L235, G237, E318, K320, and K322 (according to EU numbering) mutated to an alanine (i.e., L234A, L235A, G237A, E318A, K320A, and K322A, respectively), and optionally an N297A mutation as well (i.e., essentially eliminating glycosylation of the CH2 domain).

"Fc region" or "Fc " refers to a polypeptide sequence corresponding to or derived from the portion of a source antibody that is responsible for binding to antibody ors on cells and the C1q component of complement. Fc stands for "fragment crystalline," the fragment of an antibody that will readily form a protein crystal. Distinct protein fragments, which were originally described by proteolytic digestion, can define the overall general structure of an immunoglobulin protein. As originally defined in the literature, the Fc fragment consists of the disulfide-linked heavy chain hinge regions, CH2, and CH3 domains. However, more recently the term has been applied to a single chain consisting of CH3, CH2, and at least a portion of the hinge sufficient to form a disulfide-linked dimer with a second such chain.

As used herein, the term nce identity" refers to a relationship between two or more polynucleotide sequences or between two or more polypeptide sequences. When a position in one sequence is occupied by the same nucleic acid base or amino acid residue in the corresponding position of the comparator sequence, the sequences are said to be "identical" at that position. The percentage "sequence identity" is calculated by determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleic acid base or amino acid residue occurs in both sequences to yield the number of "identical" positions. The number of "identical" positions is then divided by the total number of positions in the comparison window and multiplied by 100 to yield the percentage of "sequence identity." Percentage of "sequence identity" is determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a comparison window. The ison window for nucleic acid sequences can be, for instance, at least , 30, 40, 50, 80, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1 0 , 120, 130, 140, 150, 180, 170, 180, 190, 200, 300, 400, 500, 800, 700, 800, 900 or 1000 or more nucleic acids in length.

In order to optimally align sequences for comparison, the portion of a polynucleotide or ptide sequence in the comparison window can comprise additions or deletions termed gaps while the reference sequence is kept constant. A n optimal alignment is that ent which, even with gaps, produces the greatest possible number of "identical" positions between the reference and comparator ces. Percentage nce identity" between two ces can be determined using the version of the program "BLAST 2 Sequences" which was available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information as of September 1, 2004, which program incorporates the programs BLASTN (for nucleotide sequence comparison) and BLASTP (for polypeptide sequence ison), which programs are based on the algorithm of ariin and A!tsc u (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

USA 90(12):5873-5877, 1993).

In some such embodiments, LCDR3 has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:17 and/or HCDR3 has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 ; and LCDR1 and LCDR2 optionally have the amino acid sequences as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 15 and SEQ ID NO: 16, respectively, and HCDR1 and HCDR2 optionally have the amino acid sequences as set forth in SEQ ID NO:9 and SEQ ID NO: 10, respectively. In some embodiments, for example, LCDR1 , LCDR2, and LCDR3 have the amino acid sequences respectively shown in SEQ ID NOs:15, 16, and 17; and/or HCDR1 , HCDR2, and HCDR3 have the amino acid sequences as respectively shown in SEQ ID NOs:9, 10, and 11. [01 22] In certain embodiments, a PSMA-binding protein can se one or more additional binding domains (e.g., second binding domain) that bind a target other than PSMA. These other target molecules can comprise, for example, a particular ne or a molecule that targets the binding domain polypeptide to a particular cell type, a toxin, an additional cell receptor, an antibody, etc. [01 23] In certain embodiments, a binding domain, for instance, as part of an Interceptor or SCORPION le, can comprise a TCR binding domain for recruitment of T cells to target cells expressing PSMA. In certain embodiments, a polypeptide heterodimer as described herein can comprise a binding domain that specifically binds a TCR complex or a ent thereof (e.g., TCRa, TCR , CD3y, CD35, and C D 3 ) and r binding domain that specifically binds to PSMA.

Immunol. 140: 3766). An exemplary anti-TCR antibody is the BMA031 monoclonal antibody (Borst et al. (1990) Human Immunology 29:175-188).

In some embodiments, a binding domain is a single-chain Fv fragment (scFv) that comprises V and V regions specific for a target of st. In certain embodiments, the V H L H and V regions are human.

In certain embodiments, a PSMA-binding domain ses or is a scFv that is at least about 90%, at least about 91%, at least about 92%, at least about 93%, at least about 94%, at least about 95%, at least about 96%, at least about 97%, at least about 98%, at least about 99%, at least about 99.5%, or 100% identical to an amino acid sequence of a scFv of SEQ ID NO: 19, 2 1, 30, 31, 34 or 35.

In related embodiments, a inding domain comprises or is a sequence that is at least about 90%, at least about 91%, at least about 92%, at least about 93%, at least about 94%, at least about 95%, at least about 96%, at least about 97%, at least about 98%, at least about 99%, at least about 99.5%, or 100% identical to an amino acid sequence of a light chain variable region (V ) (e.g., SEQ ID NO:23) or to a heavy chain variable region (V ) L H (e.g., SEQ ID NO:25 or SEQ ID NO:27), or both.

In further embodiments, each CDR comprises no more than one, two, or three substitutions, insertions or deletions, as compared to that from a monoclonal antibody or fragment or derivative thereof that specifically binds to a target of interest (e.g., PSMA).

In some embodiments of a PSMA-binding protein comprising a second binding domain that specifically binds CD3£, the second g domain competes for binding to CD3e with the CRIS-7 or HuM291 onal antibody. In n variations, the CD3- binding domain comprises an immunoglobulin light chain variable region (V ) and an globulin heavy chain variable region (V ) derived from the CRIS-7 or HuM291 monoclonal dy (e.g., the V and V of the second binding domain can be humanized L H variable regions comprising, respectively, the light chain CDRs and the heavy chain CDRs of the onal antibody). For example, the V and V regions derived from CRIS-7 can be L H selected from (a) a V region comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical or 100% to the amino acid sequence set forth in residues 139-245 of SEQ ID NO:47 and a V region comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical or 100% to the amino acid sequence set forth in residues 1-122 of SEQ ID NO:47; and (b) a V region comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical or 100% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in residues 634-740 of SEQ ID NO:78 and a V region comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% or 100% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in es 496-616 of SEQ ID NO:78.

In certain embodiments, a binding domain V and/or V region of the present L H disclosure is derived from a V and/or V of a known monoclonal antibody (e.g., 107-1 A4, L H CRIS-7, or HuM291) and contains about one or more (e.g., about 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10) insertions, about one or more (e.g., about 2 , 3 , 4, 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10) ons, about one or more (e.g., about 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10) amino acid substitutions (e.g., conservative amino acid tutions or non-conservative amino acid substitutions), or a combination of the above-noted changes, when compared with the V and/or V of a known monoclonal L H antibody. The insertion(s), deletion(s) or substitution(s) can be anywhere in the V and/or V L H region, including at the amino- or carboxyl-terminus or both ends of this region, provided that each CDR comprises zero changes or at most one, two, or three changes and provided a binding domain containing the modified V and/or V region can still specifically bind its L H target with an affinity r to the wild type binding domain.

In some variations, the binding domain is a single-chain Fv (scFv) sing immunoglobulin V and V regions joined by a peptide linker. The use of peptide linkers for joining V and V regions is well-known in the art, and a large number of publications exist within this particular field. A widely used peptide linker is a 15mer consisting of three repeats of a G!y-Gly-G!y-G!y-Ser amino acid sequence ((Giy Ser) ) (SEQ D NO: 152). Other linkers have been used, and phage display technology, as well as selective infective phage logy, has been used to diversify and select appropriate linker sequences (Tang et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271, 15686, 1996; Hennecke e a/., Protein Eng. 11, 405-410, 1998).

In certain embodiments, the V and V regions are joined by a peptide linker having an amino acid sequence comprising the a (Gly Ser) , wherein n = 1-5 (SEQ ID NO: 165).

Other suitable linkers can be obtained by optimizing a simple linker (e.g., (Gly Ser) ) through random mutagenesis.

In certain embodiments, a binding domain comprises humanized immunoglobulin V and/or V regions. Techniques for humanizing immunoglobulin V and V regions are L H L H known in the art and are sed, for example, in United States Patent Application Publication No. 2006/0153837.

"Humanization" is expected to result in an antibody that is less immunogenic, with complete retention of the antigen-binding properties of the original molecule. I order to retain all of the antigen-binding properties of the al antibody, the structure of its antigen binding site should be reproduced in the ized" version. This can be achieved by grafting only the nonhuman CDRs onto human variable framework domains and constant regions, with or without retention of critical framework residues (Jones e a/., Nature 321:522 ; Verhoeyen e a/., Science 239:1539 (1988)) or by recombining the entire nonhuman variable domains (to preserve -binding ties), but "cloaking" them with a human¬ like surface through judicious replacement of exposed es (to reduce antigenicity) (Padlan, Molec. l. 28:489 (1991)).

Essentially, humanization by CDR grafting involves recombining only the CDRs of a non-human antibody onto a human le region framework and a human constant region. Theoretically, this should substantially reduce or eliminate immunogenicity (except if allotypic or idiotypic differences exist). However, it has been reported that some framework residues of the original antibody also may need to be preserved (Reichmann er a/., , 332:323 (1988); Queen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 86:10,029 (1989)).

The framework residues that need to be preserved are amenable to identification through computer modeling. Alternatively, critical framework residues can potentially be identified by comparing known antigen-binding site structures n, Molec. Immunol., 3 1(3): 169-2 7 (1994), incorporated herein by reference).

The residues that potentially affect n binding fall into several groups. The first group comprises residues that are contiguous with the antigen site surface, which could therefore make direct t with antigens. These residues include the amino-terminal residues and those adjacent to the CDRs. The second group includes residues that could alter the structure or relative alignment of the CDRs, either by contacting the CDRs or another peptide chain in the antibody. The third group comprises amino acids with buried side chains that could influence the structural integrity of the le domains. The residues in these groups are usually found in the same ons (Padlan, 1994, supra) although their positions as identified may differ depending on the numbering system (see Kabat et al., "Sequences of proteins of immunological interest, 5th ed., Pub. No. 91-3242, U.S. Dept.

Health & Human Services, NIH, Bethesda, Md., 1991).

Although the embodiments described herein involve the humanization of SMIP, SCORPION, and Interceptor molecules, and not antibodies, knowledge about humanized antibodies in the art is applicable to the polypeptides ing to the invention.

B . Hinge Region In certain embodiments, a hinge is a wild-type human immunoglobulin hinge . In certain other embodiments, one or more amino acid residues can be added at the amino- or carboxyl-terminus of a wild type immunoglobulin hinge region as part of a fusion protein construct design. For example, onal on amino acid residues at the hinge amino-terminus can be "RT," "RSS," "TG," or "T," or at the hinge carboxyl-terminus can be "SG", or a hinge deletion can be combined with an addition, such as D R with "SG" added at the carboxyl-terminus.

In certain embodiments, a hinge is an altered globulin hinge in which one or more cysteine residues in a wild type immunoglobulin hinge region is substituted with one or more other amino acid residues (e.g., serine or alanine).

Exemplary altered immunoglobulin hinges include an immunoglobulin human lgG1 hinge region having one, two or three cysteine residues found in a wild type human lgG1 hinge tuted by one, two or three different amino acid residues (e.g., serine or e).

An altered immunoglobulin hinge can additionally have a proline substituted with another amino acid (e.g., serine or alanine). For example, the above-described altered human lgG1 hinge can onally have a proline located carboxyl-terminal to the three cysteines of wild type human lgG1 hinge region substituted by another amino acid e (e.g., serine, alanine). In one embodiment, the prolines of the core hinge region are not substituted.

In certain embodiments, a hinge polypeptide comprises or is a ce that is at least 80%, at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to a wild type immunoglobulin hinge region, such as a wild type human lgG1 hinge, a wild type human lgG2 hinge, or a wild type human lgG4 hinge.

In further embodiments, a hinge present in a PSMA-binding polypeptide can be a hinge that is not based on or derived from an immunoglobulin hinge (i.e., not a wild-type immunoglobulin hinge or an altered immunoglobulin hinge). Examples for such hinges include peptides of about five to about 150 amino acids derived from an interdomain region of a transmembrane protein or stalk region of a type I I C-lectin, for instance, es of about eight to 25 amino acids and peptides of about seven to 18 amino acids.

In certain embodiments, interdomain or stalk region hinges have seven to 18 amino acids and can form an a-helical coiled coil structure. In certain ments, interdomain or stalk region hinges contain 0, 1, 2 , 3 , or 4 cysteines. Exemplary interdomain or stalk region hinges are peptide fragments of the interdomain or stalk regions, such as ten to 150 amino acid fragments from the stalk regions of CD69, CD72, CD94, NKG2A and NKG2D.

In certain embodiments, hinge sequences have about 5 to 150 amino acids, 5 to 10 amino acids, 10 to 20 amino acids, 20 to 30 amino acids, 30 to 40 amino acids, 40 to 50 amino acids, 50 to 60 amino acids, 5 to 60 amino acids, 5 to 40 amino acids, 8 to 20 amino acids, or 10 to 15 amino acids. The hinge can be primarily flexible, but can also provide more rigid characteristics or can n primarily a-helical structure with minimal b-sheet structure. The lengths or the sequences of the hinges can affect the binding affinities of the g domains to which the hinges are directly or indirectly (via another region or domain, such as an dimerization domain) connected as well as one or more activities of the Fc region portions to which the hinges are directly or indirectly connected.

In certain ments, hinge sequences are stable in plasma and serum and are resistant to proteolytic cleavage. The first lysine in the lgG1 upper hinge region can be mutated to minimize proteolytic cleavage, for instance, the lysine can be substituted with methionine, threonine, e or glycine, or is deleted.

In some embodiments of the invention, the PSMA-binding polypeptide is capable of forming a dimer with a second polypeptide chain and comprises a hinge region (a) immediately amino-terminal to an immunoglobulin constant region (e.g., amino-terminal to a CH2 domain wherein the immungobloubolin nt region includes CH2 and CH3 domains, or amino-terminal to a CH3 domain wherein the immunoglobulin sub-regions includes CH3 and CH4 domains), (b) interposed n and connecting a binding domain (e.g., scFv) and a immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain, (c) interposed between and connecting a immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain and an globulin constant region (e.g., wherein the immunoglobulin constant region includes CH2 and CH3 domains or CH3 and CH4 domains), (d) interposed between and connecting an immunoglobulin constant region and a binding domain, (e) at the amino-terminus of a polypeptide chain, or (f) at the carboxyl-terminus of a polypeptide chain. A polypeptide chain sing a hinge region as described herein will be capable of associating with a different polypeptide chain to form a heterodimeric n provided herein, and the heterodimer formed will contain a binding domain that retains its target specificity or its specific target binding affinity. [0 7] certain embodiments, a hinge present in a polypeptide that forms a heterodimer with another polypeptide chain can be a n immunoglobulin hinge, such as a wild-type immunoglobulin hinge region or a n altered immunoglobulin hinge region thereof In certain embodiments, a hinge of one ptide chain of a heterodimeric protein is identical to a corresponding hinge of the other polypeptide chain of the heterodimer. In certain other embodiments, a hinge of one chain is different from that of the other chain (in their length o r sequence). The different hinges in the different chains allow different manipulation of the binding affinities of the binding domains to which the hinges are connected, so that the heterodimer is able to preferentially bind to the target of one g domain over the target of the other binding . For example, in certain embodiments, a heterodimeric protein has a CD3- o r TCR-binding domain in one chain and a PSMA-binding domain in another chain. Having two different hinges in the two chains may allow the heterodimer to bind to the PSMA first, and then to a CD3 or other TCR component second. Thus, the heterodimer may recruit CD3 + T cells to PSMA-expressing cells (e.g., xpressing tumor cells), which in turn may damage o r destroy the xpressing cells. [01 48] Exemplary hinge regions suitable for use in accordance with the present invention are shown in the Tables 1 and 2 below. Additional exemplary hinge regions are set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 241 -244, 601 , 78, 763-791 , 228, 379-434, 6 18-749 of WO201 1/090762 (said ces incorporated by reference herein).

Immunoglobulin Heterodimerization Domains In certain embodiments, a PSMA-binding ptide or protein of the invention can comprise an "immunoglobulin dimerization domain" or "immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain." A n "immunoglobulin dimerization domain" or "immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain," as used herein, refers to an immunoglobulin domain of a polypeptide chain that entially interacts or ates with a different immunoglobulin domain of another polypeptide chain, wherein the ction of the different globulin dimerization s substantially contributes to or efficiently promotes heterodimerization of the first and second polypeptide chains (i.e., the formation of a dimer between two different polypeptide chains, which is also referred to as a "heterodimer" or odimeric protein"). The ctions between globulin heterodimerization domains "substantially contributes to or efficiently promotes" the dimerization of first and second polypeptide chains if there is a statistically significant reduction in the dimerization between the first and second polypeptide chains in the absence of the immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain of the first polypeptide chain and/or the immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain of the second polypeptide chain. In certain embodiments, when the first and second polypeptide chains are co-expressed, at least 60%, at least about 60% to about 70%, at least about 70% to about 80%, at least 80% to about 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the first and second polypetpide chains form heterodimers with each other.

Representative immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains e an immunoglobulin CH1 domain, an immunoglobulin CL1 domain (e.g., C K or C isotypes), or derivatives thereof, including wild-type immunoglobulin CH and CL domains and altered (or mutated) immunoglobulin CH1 and CL domains, such as provided herein. [01 5 1] Dimerization/heterodimerization domains can be used where it is desired to form heterodimers from two non-identical polypeptide chains, where one or both polypeptide chains comprises a binding domain. In certain embodiments, one polypeptide chain member of certain heterodimers described herein does not contain a g domain. As indicated above, a heterodimeric n of the present sure comprises an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain in each polypeptide chain. The immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains in the polypeptide chains of a heterodimer are different from each other and thus can be differentially modified to facilitate heterodimerization of both chains and to minimize homodimerization of either chain. As shown in the examples, immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains provided herein allow for efficient heterodimerization between different polypeptides and facilitate purification of the resulting heterodimeric protein. [01 52] As provided herein, globulin heterodimerization domains useful for ing heterodimerization of two different single chain ptides (e.g., one short and one long) according to the present disclosure include immunoglobulin CH1 and CL domains, for instance, human CH1 and CL domains. In certain embodiments, an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain is a wild-type CH1 domain, such as a wild type lgG1 , lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, lgA1, lgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM CH1 domain. In further embodiments, an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain is a wild-type human lgG1 , lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, lgA1 , lgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM CH1 domain as set forth in SEQ ID NOS: 114 , 186-1 92 and 194, respectively, of PCT Publication No. WO201 1/090762 (said ces incorporated by reference herein).

In certain embodiments, an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain is a wild-type human lgG 1 CH1 domain as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 4 of WO201 62 (said sequence incorporated by reference herein). [01 53] In further embodiments, an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain is an altered immunoglobulin CH1 , such as an altered lgG 1, lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, lgA1 , lgA2 IgD, IgE, or IgM CH1 domain. In certain embodiments, an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain is an altered human lgG 1, lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, lgA1 , lgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM CH1 domain. In still further embodiments, a cysteine residue of a wild-type CH1 domain (e.g., a human CH1 ) ed in forming a disulfide bond with a wild type immunoglobulin CL domain (e.g., a human CL) is deleted or substituted in the altered immunoglobulin CH1 domain such that a disulfide bond is not formed between the altered CH1 domain and the wild-type CL domain. [0 54] In certain embodiments, an globulin heterodimerization domain is a wild- type CL domain, such as a wild type C domain or a wild type CA domain. In certain embodiments, an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain is a wild type human C K or human CA domain as set forth in SEQ D NOS: 112 and 113 , respectively, of WO201 2 (said sequences incorporated by reference herein). In further embodiments, an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain is an altered immunoglobulin CL domain, such as an altered C K or CA domain, for instance, an altered human C K or human CA domain. [01 55] In certain embodiments, a cysteine residue of a wild-type CL domain (e.g. , a human CL) involved in forming a disulfide bond with a wild type immunoglobulin CH1 domain (e.g., a human CH1) is deleted or substituted in the altered immunoglobulin CL domain.

Such altered CL domains can further comprise an amino acid deletion at their amino-termini.

An ary C K domain is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 14 1 of WO20 11/090762 (said sequence orated by nce ), in which the first arginine and the last cysteine of the wild type human Ck domain are both deleted. In certain embodiments, only the last cysteine of the wild type human Ck domain is deleted in the altered Ck domain because the first arginine deleted from the wild type human Ck domain can be provided by a linker that has an arginine at its carboxyl-terminus and links the amino-terminus of the altered Ck domain with another domain (e.g., an immunoglobulin sug-region, such as a sub-region comprising immunoglobulin CH2 and CH3 domains). An ary C A domain is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 140 of WO20 11/090762 (said sequence incorporated by nce herein), in which the first arginine of a wild type human C domain is deleted and the cysteine involved in forming a disulfide bond with a cysteine in a CH1 domain is substituted by a . [01 56] In further ments, an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain is an altered C K domain that contains one or more amino acid substitutions, as compared to a wild type C K domain, at positions that may be involved in forming the interchain-hydrogen bond network at a CK-CK interface. For example, in certain embodiments, an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain is an altered human C K domain having one or more amino acids at positions N29, N30, Q52, V55, T56, S68 or T70 that are substituted with a different amino acid. The numbering of the amino acids is based on their positions in the altered human C K sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:141 of WO201 62 (said sequence incorporated by nce herein). In certain embodiments, an globulin heterodimerization domain is an altered human C K domain having one, two, three or four amino acid substitutions at positions N29, N30, V55, or T70. The amino acid used as a substitute at the above-noted positions can be an alanine, or an amino acid residue with a bulk side chain moiety such as arginine, phan, tyrosine, glutamate, glutamine, or lysine. onal amino acid residues that can be used to tute amino acid residues of the wild type human Ck sequence at the above noted positions (e.g., N30) include aspartate, methionine, serine and phenyalanine. Exemplary altered human C K domains are set forth in SEQ ID NOS:142-178 of WO20 11/090762 (said sequences incorporated by reference herein).

Altered human C K domains are those that tate heterodimerization with a CH1 domain, but minimize homodimerization with another C K domain. Representative d human C K s are set forth in SEQ ID NOS:160 (N29W V55A T70A), 161 (N29Y V55A T70A), 202 (T70E N29A N30A V55A), 167 (N30R V55A T70A), 168 (N30K V55A T70A), 170 (N30E V55A T70A), 172 (V55R N29A N30A), 175 (N29W N30Y V55A T70E), 176 (N29Y N30Y V55A T70E), 177 (N30E V55A T70E), 178 (N30Y V55A T70E), 838 (N30D V55A T70E), 839 (N30M V55A T70E), 840 (N30S V55A T70E), and 841 (N30F V55A T70E) of WO20 11/090762 (said sequences incorporated by reference herein). [01 57] In n embodiments, in addition to or alternative to the mutations in Ck domains described herein, both the immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains (i.e., immunoglobulin CH1 and CL domains) of a polypeptide heterodimer have mutations so that the resulting immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains form salt bridges (i.e., ionic interactions) n the amino acid residues at the mutated sites. For example, the immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains of a polypeptide heterodimer can be a mutated CH1 domain in combination with a mutated Ck domain. In the mutated CH1 domain, valine at position 68 (V68) of the wild type human CHI domain is tuted by an amino acid residue having a negative charge (e.g., aspartate or glutamate), whereas leucine at position 29 (L29) of a mutated human Ck domain in which the first arginine and the last ne have been deleted is substituted by an amino acid residue having a positive charge (e.g. , lysine, arginine or histidine). The charge-charge interaction between the amino acid residue having a negative charge of the resulting mutated CH1 domain and the amino acid residue having a positive charge of the resulting mutated Ck domain forms a salt , which stabilizes the heterodimeric interface between the mutated CH1 and Ck domains. Alternatively, V68 of the wild type CH1 can be substituted by an amino acid residue having a positive charge, whereas L29 of a mutated human Ck domain in which the first arginine and the last ne have been deleted can be substituted by an amino acid residue having a negative charge.

Exemplary mutated CH1 sequences in which V68 is substituted by an amino acid with either a negative or positive charge are set forth in SEQ ID NOS.844 and 845 of O2011/090762 (said sequences orated by reference herein). ary mutated Ck sequences in which L29 is substituted by an amino acid with either a negative or positive charge are set forth in SEQ ID NOS:842 and 843 of WO201 1/090762 (said sequences incorporated by reference herein). [01 58] ons other than V68 of human CH1 domain and L29 of human Ck domain can be substituted with amino acids having opposite charges to produce ionic interactions between the amino acids in addition or alternative to the mutations in V68 of CH1 domain and L29 of Ck domain. Such positions can be identified by any suitable method, including random mutagenesis, analysis of the crystal structure of the CH1-Ck pair to identify amino acid residues at the CH1-Ck interface, and further fying le positions among the amino acid residues at the CH1-Ck interface using a set of ia (e.g., propensity to engage in ionic interactions, proximity to a potential partner e, etc.). [0 59] In certain embodiments, polypeptide heterodimers of the t disclosure contain only one pair of immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains. For example, a first chain of a polypeptide heterodimer can comprise a CH1 domain as an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain, while a second chain can comprise a CL domain (e.g., a C K or CA) as an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain. Alternatively, a first chain can comprise a CL domain (e.g. , a C K or CA) as an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain, while a second chain can comprise a CH1 domain as an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain. As set forth herein, the immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains of the first and second chains are capable of associating to form a heterodimeric protein of this disclosure. [01 60] In certain other ments, heterodimeric proteins of the present disclosure can have two pairs of immunoglobulin heterodimerization s. For example, a first chain of a heterodimer can comprise two CH1 domains, while a second chain can have two CL domains that associate with the two CH1 domains in the first chain. Alternatively, a first chain can comprise two CL domains, while a second chain can have two CH1 domains that associate with the two CL domains in the first chain. In certain embodiments, a first polypeptide chain comprises a CH1 domain and a CL domain, while a second ptide chain comprises a CL domain and a CH1 domain that associate with the CH1 domain and the CL domain, respectively, of the first polypeptide chain.

In the embodiments where a heterodimeric n comprises only one heterodimerization pair (i.e., one immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain in each , the immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain of each chain can be located amino-terminal to the immunoglobulin constant region of that chain. Alternatively, the globulin dimerization domain in each chain can be located carboxyl-terminal to the immunoglobulin constant region of that chain.

In the embodiments where a heterodimeric protein comprises two heterodimerization pairs (i.e., two immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains in each chain), both immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains in each chain can be located amino-terminal to the immunoglobulin constant region of that chain. Alternatively, both immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains in each chain can be located yl-terminal to the immunoglobulin constant region of that chain. In further embodiments, one immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain in each chain can be located amino-terminal to the immunoglobulin constant region of that chain, while the other immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain of each chain can be located carboxyl-terminal to the immunoglobulin constant region of that chain. In other words, in those embodiments, the immunoglobulin constant region is interposed between the two immunoglobulin heterodimerization domains of each chain.

D. Immunoglobulin Constant regions As indicated herein, in certain embodiments, PSMA-binding polypeptides of the present disclosure (e.g., SMIP, PIMS, SCORPION, and Interceptor molecules) comprise an immunoglobulin constant region (also referred to as an constant region) in each ptide chain. The ion of an immunoglobulin nt region slows clearance of the homodimeric and heterodimeric proteins formed from two PSMA-binding polypeptide chains from circulation after administration to a subject. By mutations or other alterations, an immunoglobulin constant region further enables relatively easy modulation of c ptide or functions (e.g., ADCC, ADCP, CDC, complement fixation, and binding to Fc receptors), which can either be sed or decreased depending on the disease being treated, as known in the art and described herein. In certain embodiments, an immunoglobulin nt region of one or both of the polypeptide chains of the polypeptide homodimers and heterodimers of the present sure will be capable of mediating one or more of these effector functions In other embodiments, one or more of these effector functions are reduced or absent in an immunoglobulin constant region of one or both of the polypeptide chains of the polypeptide homodimers and heterodimers of the present disclosure, as compared to a corresponding ype immunoglobulin constant region. Fo example, for dimeric inding polypeptides designed to elicit RTCC, such as, e.g., via the inclusion of a CD3-binding domain, an immunoglobulin constant region preferably has reduced or no effector function relative to a corresponding wild-type immunoglobulin constant region.

An immunoglobulin constant region present in PSMA binding polypeptides of the present disclosure can comprise of or is derived from part or all of: a CH2 domain, a CH3 domain, a CH4 domain, or any combination thereof. For e, an globulin constant region can comprise a CH2 domain, a CH3 domain, both CH2 and CH3 domains, both CH3 and CH4 domains, two CH3 s, a CH4 domain, two CH4 domains, and a CH2 domain and part of a CH3 domain.

A CH2 domain that can form an immunoglobulin constant region of a PSMA- g polypeptide of the t disclosure can be a wild type immunoglobulin CH2 domain or an altered immunoglobulin CH2 domain thereof from certain immunoglobulin classes or subclasses (e.g., lgG1, lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, lgA1, lgA2, or IgD) and from various species (including human, mouse, rat, and other mammals).

In certain embodiments, a CH2 domain is a wild type human immunoglobulin CH2 domain, such as wild type CH2 domains of human lgG1 , lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, lgA1 , lgA2, or IgD, as set forth in SEQ ID NOS:1 15, 199-201 and 195-197, respectively, of PCT Publication WO201 1/090762 (said sequences incorporated by reference herein). In certain embodiments, the CH2 domain is a wild type human lgG1 CH2 domain as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 15 of WO20 11/090762 (said sequence incorporated by reference herein).

In certain embodiments, a CH2 domain is an altered immunoglobulin CH2 region (e.g., an d human lgG1 CH2 domain) that comprises an amino acid substitution at the asparagine of on 297 (e.g., asparagine to alanine). Such an amino acid substitution reduces or eliminates glycosylation at this site and tes efficient Fc binding to FcyR and C1q. The sequence of an altered human lgG1 CH2 domain with an Asn to Ala substitution at position 297 is set forth in SEQ ID NO:324 of WO201 1/090782 said (sequence incorporated by reference herein).

In certain embodiments, a CH2 domain is an altered immunoglobulin CH2 region (e.g., an altered human lgG1 CH2 domain) that comprises at least one substitution or deletion at positions 234 to 238. For example, an immunoglobulin CH2 region can comprise a substitution at position 234, 235, 236, 237 or 238, positions 234 and 235, ons 234 and 236, positions 234 and 237, positions 234 and 238, positions 234-236, positions 234, 235 and 237, positions 234, 236 and 238, positions 234, 235, 237, and 238, positions 236- 238, or any other combination of two, three, four, or five amino acids at positions 8.

In on or alternatively, an altered CH2 region can comprise one or more (e.g., two, three, four or five) amino acid deletions at ons 234-238, for instance, at one of position 236 or position 237 while the other position is substituted. The above-noted mutation(s) decrease or eliminate the dy-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity or Fc receptor-binding capability of a polypeptide heterodimer that comprises the altered CH2 domain. In certain embodiments, the amino acid residues at one or more of positions 234- 238 has been replaced with one or more alanine residues. In r embodiments, only one of the amino acid residues at positions 234-238 have been deleted while one or more of the remaining amino acids at positions 234-238 can be tuted with another amino acid (e.g., e or serine).

In certain other embodiments, a CH2 domain is an altered globulin CH2 region (e.g., an altered human lgG1 CH2 ) that ses one or more amino acid substitutions at positions 253, 310, 318, 320, 322, and 331. For example, an immunoglobulin CH2 region can comprise a tution at position 253, 3 0, 318, 320, 322, or 331 , positions 318 and 320, positions 318 and 322, positions 318, 320 and 322, or any other combination of two, three, four, five or six amino acids at ons 253, 310, 318, 320, 322, and 331. The above-noted mutation(s) decrease or eliminate the complementdependent cytotoxicity (CDC) of a polypeptide heterodimer that comprises the altered CH2 domain.

In certain other embodiments, in addition to the amino acid substitution at position 297, an altered CH2 region (e.g., an altered human lgG1 CH2 domain) can further comprise one or more (e.g., two, three, four, or five) additional substitutions at positions 234-238. For example, an immunoglobulin CH2 region can comprise a substitution at positions 234 and 297, positions 234, 235, and 297, positions 234, 236 and 297, positions 234-236 and 297, positions 234, 235, 237 and 297, positions 234, 236, 238 and 297, positions 234, 235, 237, 238 and 297, positions 236-238 and 297, or any combination of two, three, four, or five amino acids at positions 234-238 in addition to position 297. In addition or alternatively, an altered CH2 region can comprise one or more (e.g., two, three, four or five) amino acid deletions at positions 234-238, such as at on 236 or position 237. The additional mutation(s) decreases or eliminates the antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity or Fc receptor-binding capability of a polypeptide heterodimer that comprises the altered CH2 domain. In certain embodiments, the amino acid residues at one or more of positions 234-238 have been replaced with one or more alanine residues. n further embodiments, only one of the amino acid residues at positions 234-238 has been d while one or more of the remaining amino acids at ons 234-238 can be substituted with another amino acid (e.g., alanine or serine).

In certain embodiments, in addition to one or more (e.g., 2 , 3 , 4 , or 5) amino acid substitutions at positions 234-238, a mutated CH2 region (e.g., an altered human lgG1 CH2 domain) in a fusion protein of the present disclosure can contain one or more (e.g., 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , or 6) additional amino acid substitutions (e.g., tuted with e) at one or more positions involved in complement fixation (e.g., at positions I253, H310, E318, K320, K322, or P331). Examples of mutated immunoglobulin CH2 regions include human lgG1 , lgG2, lgG4 and mouse lgG2a CH2 s with alanine substitutions at positions 234, 235, 237 (if present), 318, 320 and 322. An exemplary mutated immunoglobulin CH2 region is mouse IGHG2c CH2 region with alanine substitutions at L234, L235, G237, E318, K320, and K322.

In still further embodiments, in addition to the amino acid tution at position 297 and the additional deletion(s) or substitution(s) at positions 234-238, an altered CH2 region (e.g., an altered human lgG1 CH2 domain) can further comprise one or more (e.g., two, three, four, five, or six) additional substitutions at positions 253, 310, 318, 320, 322, and 331 . For example, an immunoglobulin CH2 region can comprise a (1) tution at on 297, (2) one or more substitutions or deletions or a combination thereof at positions 234-238, and one or more (e.g., 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , or 6) amino acid substitutions at positions I253, H310, E318, K320, K322, and P331 , such as one, two, three substitutions at positions E318, K320 and K322. The amino acids at the above-noted positions can be substituted by alanine or serine.

In certain embodiments, an globulin CH2 region polypeptide comprises: (i) an amino acid substitution at the gines of position 297 and one amino acid substitution at position 234, 235, 236 or 237; (ii) an amino acid substitution at the asparagine of on 297 and amino acid substitutions at two of positions 234-237; (iii) an amino acid tution at the asparagine of position 297 and amino acid substitutions at three of positions 234-237; (iv) an amino acid substitution at the gine of position 297, amino acid substitutions at positions 234, 235 and 237, and an amino acid deletion at position 236; (v) amino acid substitutions at three of positions 234-237 and amino acid substitutions at positions 318, 320 and 322; or (vi) amino acid substitutions at three of positions 234-237, an amino acid deletion at position 236, and amino acid substitutions at ons 3 18 , 320 and 322. [01 74] ary altered immunoglobulin CH2 regions with amino acid substitutions at the asparagine of position 297 include: human lgG 1 CH2 region with alanine substitutions at L234, L235, G237 and N297 and a deletion at G236 (SEQ ID NO:325 of WO201 1/090762, said sequence incorporated by reference herein), human lgG2 CH2 region with alanine substitutions at V234, G236, and N297 (SEQ ID NO:326 of WO201 62, said sequence incorporated by reference herein), human lgG4 CH2 region with alanine substitutions at F234, L235, G237 and N297 and a deletion of G236 (SEQ ID NO:322 of WO20 11/090762, said ce incorporated by reference herein), human lgG4 CH2 region with e substitutions at F234 and N297 (SEQ ID NO:343 of WO20 11/090762, said sequence incorporated by reference herein), human lgG4 CH2 region with alanine substitutions at L235 and N297 (SEQ D NQ:344 of WO201 /090762, said sequence incorporated by reference herein), human igG4 CH2 region with alanine substitutions at G238 and 297 (SEQ D NO:345 of VVO201 /090762, said sequence incorporated by reference herein), and human gG4 CH2 region with alanine substitutions at G237 and N297 (SEQ D NG:346 of WQ20 11/090762, said sequence incorporated by reference herein). [0 75] In certain embodiments, in addition to the amino acid substitutions described above, an altered CH2 region (e.g., an altered human igG 1 CH2 domain) can contain one or more additional amino acid substitutions at one or more positions other than the oted positions. Such amino acid substitutions can be conservative or nservative amino acid substitutions. For example, in certain embodiments, P233 can be changed to E233 in an altered lgG2 CH2 region (see, e.g., SEQ ID NO:326 of WO201 1/090762, said sequence incorporated by reference herein). In addition or alternatively, in certain embodiments, the altered CH2 region can contain one or more amino acid ions, deletions, or both. The insertion(s), deletion(s) or substitution(s) can be anywhere in an immunoglobulin CH2 region, such as at the N- or inus of a wild type immunoglobulin CH2 region resulting from linking the CH2 region with another region (e.g., a binding domain or an immunoglobulin heterodimerization domain) via a hinge. [01 76] In certain embodiments, an altered CH2 region in a polypeptide of the t disclosure comprises or is a sequence that is at least 90%, at least 9 1% , at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% identical to a wild type globulin CH2 region, such as the CH2 region of wild type human lgG 1, lgG2, or lgG4, or mouse lgG2a (e.g., IGHG2c). £0177] A n altered immunoglobulin CH2 region in a PSMA-binding polypeptide of the present disclosure can be derived from a CH2 region of various immunoglobulin s types , such as gG lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, !gA1 , lgA2, and IgD, from various species (including human, mouse, rat, and other mammals). In certain embodiments, an altered globulin CH2 region in a fusion protein of the present disclosure can be derived from a CH2 region of human lgG1 , lgG2 or gG4, or mouse lgG2a (e.g., ), whose sequences are set forth in SEQ ID NOS:1 5, 199, 201 , and 320 of WO20 1/090782 (said sequences incorporated by reference herein).

[ ] In n embodiments, an altered CH2 domain is a human lgG1 CH2 domain with alanine tutions at positions 235, 318, 320, and 322 {i.e., a human lgG1 CH2 domain with L235A, E318A, K320A and K322A substitutions) (SEQ D NO:595 of O2011/090782, said sequence incorporated by reference ), and optionally an N297 mutation (e.g., to e). In certain other embodiments, an altered CH2 domain is a human lgG1 CH2 domain with alanine substitutions at positions 234, 235, 237, 318, 320 and 322 {i.e., a human lgG1 CH2 domain with L234A, L235A, G237A, E318A, K320A and K322A substitutions) (SEQ ID NO:596 of WO201 1/090762, said sequence incorporated by nce herein), and optionally an N297 mutation (e.g., to alanine).

In certain embodiments, an altered CH2 domain is an altered human lgG1 CH2 domain with mutations known in the art that enhance immunological activities such as ADCC, ADCP, CDC, complement fixation, Fc receptor binding, or any combination thereof.

The CH3 domain that can form an immunoglobulin constant region of a PSMA- binding polypeptide of the present disclosure can be a wild type immunoglobulin CH3 domain or an altered immunoglobulin CH3 domain thereof from certain immunoglobulin classes or sses (e.g., lgG1, lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, lgA1 , lgA2, IgD, IgE, IgM) of various species (including human, mouse, rat, and other mammals). In certain embodiments, a CH3 domain is a wild type human immunoglobulin CH3 domain, such as wild type CH3 domains of human lgG1 , lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, lgA1 , lgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM as set forth in SEQ ID NOS:1 16, 208-210, 7, and 212, respectively of WO201 1/090762 (said sequences incorporated by reference herein). In certain embodiments, the CH3 domain is a wild type human lgG1 CH3 domain as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 16 of WO201 1/090762 (said sequence incorporated by reference herein). In certain embodiments, a CH3 domain is an d human immunoglobulin CH3 domain, such as an d CH3 domain based on or derived from a wild-type CH3 domain of human lgG1 , lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, lgA1 , lgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM antibodies. For example, an altered CH3 domain can be a human lgG1 CH3 domain with one or two mutations at positions H433 and N434 (positions are numbered according to EU numbering). The mutations in such ons can be involved in complement fixation. In certain other embodiments, an altered CH3 domain can be a human lgG1 CH3 domain but with one or two amino acid substitutions at position F405 or Y407. The amino acids at such positions are involved in interacting with another CH3 . In certain embodiments, an altered CH3 domain can be an altered human lgG1 CH3 domain with its last lysine d.

The sequence of this altered CH3 domain is set forth in SEQ ID NO:761 of WO201 1/090762 (said sequence incorporated by reference herein).

In n embodiments, PSMA-binding polypeptides g a polypeptide heterodimer comprise a CH3 pair that comprises so called "knobs-into-holes" mutations (see, Marvin and Zhu, Acta Pharmacologica Sinica 26:649-58, 2005; Ridgway et al., n Engineering 9:617-21, 1966). More specifically, ons can be introduced into each of the two CH3 domains of each polypeptide chain so that the steric complementarity required for CH3/CH3 association tes these two CH3 domains to pair with each other. For example, a CH3 domain in one single chain polypeptide of a polypeptide heterodimer can contain a T366W mutation (a "knob" mutation, which substitutes a small amino acid with a larger one), and a CH3 domain in the other single chain polypeptide of the polypeptide heterodimer can contain a Y407A mutation (a "hole" mutation, which substitutes a large amino acid with a smaller one). Other exemplary knobs-into-holes mutations include (1) a T366Y mutation in one CH3 domain and a Y407T in the other CH3 , and (2) a T366W mutation in one CH3 domain and T366S, L368A and Y407V mutations in the other CH3 domain.

The CH4 domain that can form an immunoglobulin constant region of PSMA- binding polypeptides of the present disclosure can be a wild type immunoglobulin CH4 domain or an altered globulin CH4 domain thereof from gE or gM molecules. In certain embodiments, the CH4 domain is a wild type human immunoglobulin CH4 domain, such as wild type CH4 domains of human IgE and IgM molecules as set forth in SEQ ID NOS:213 and 214, respectively, of WO20 11/090762 (said sequences incorporated by reference herein). In certain embodiments, a CH4 domain is an altered human immunoglobulin CH4 domain, such as an altered CH4 domain based on or derived from a CH4 domain of human IgE or IgM molecules, which have mutations that increase or decrease an immunological activity known to be associated with an IgE or IgM Fc region.

In certain embodiments, an immunoglobulin constant region of PSMA binding polypeptides of the present disclosure comprises a combination of CH2, CH3 or CH4 domains (i.e., more than one nt region domain ed from CH2, CH3 and CH4).

For e, the immunoglobulin constant region can comprise CH2 and CH3 domains or CH3 and CH4 domains. In certain other embodiments, the immunoglobulin constant region can se two CH3 domains and no CH2 or CH4 domains (i.e., only two or more CH3).

The multiple constant region domains that form an immunoglobulin constant region can be based on or derived from the same immunoglobulin molecule, or the same class or ss globulin molecules. In certain embodiments, the immunoglobulin constant region is an IgG CH2CH3 (e.g., IgGI CH2CH3, lgG2 CH2CH3, and lgG4 CH2CH3) and can be a human (e.g., human IgGI , lgG2, and lgG4) . For example, in certain embodiments, the immunoglobulin constant region comprises (1) wild type human IgGI CH2 and CH3 domains, (2) human IgGI CH2 with N297A substitution (i.e., CH2(N297A)) and wild type human IgGI CH3, or (3) human IgGI CH2(N297A) and an altered human IgGI CH3 with the last lysine deleted.

Alternatively, the multiple constant region domains can be based on or derived from ent immunoglobulin molecules, or ent classes or subclasses globulin molecules. For example, in certain embodiments, an immunoglobulin constant region comprises both human IgM CH3 domain and human IgGI CH3 domain. The multiple constant region domains that form an immunoglobulin constant region can be directly linked together or can be linked to each other via one or more (e.g., about 2-10) amino acids.

Exemplary immunoglobulin constant regions are set forth in SEQ ID NOS:305-309, 321, 323, 341, 342, and 762 of WO201 1/090762 (said sequences incorporated by reference herein).

In certain embodiments, the immunoglobulin constant regions of both PSMA- binding ptides of a ptide homodimer or heterodimer are identical to each other.

In certain other embodiments, the immunoglobulin constant region of one polypeptide chain of a heterodimeric protein is different from the immunoglobulin constant region of the other polypeptide chain of the dimer. For example, one immunoglobulin constant region of a heterodimeric protein can n a CH3 domain with a "knob" mutation, whereas the other immunoglobulin constant region of the heterodimeric protein can contain a CH3 domain with a "hole" mutation.

IV. Nucleic Acids. Host Cells, and Methods for Production The ion also includes nucleic acids (e.g., DNA or RNA) encoding a PSMA- binding polypeptide as described herein, or one or more polypeptide chains of a dimeric or heterodimeric PSMA-binding protein as described herein. Nucleic acids of the invention include nucleic acids having a region that is substantially identical to a polynucleotide as listed in Table 3 , infra. In certain embodiments, a nucleic acid in ance with the present invention has at least 80%, lly at least about 90%, and more lly at least about 95% or at least about 98% identity to a polypeptide-encoding polynucleotide as listed in Table 3 . Nucleic acids of the invention also include complementary nucleic acids. In some instances, the sequences will be fully complementary (no mismatches) when aligned.

In other instances, there can be up to about a 20% mismatch in the sequences. In some embodiments of the invention are provided nucleic acids encoding both first and second polypeptide chains of a heterodimeric PSMA-binding protein of the invention. The c acid sequences provided herein can be exploited using codon optimization, degenerate sequence, silent mutations, and other DNA techniques to ze expression in a particular host, and the t invention encompasses such sequence modifications.

Polynucleotide molecules comprising a desired polynucleotide sequence are propagated by g the le in a vector. Viral and non-viral vectors are used, including plasmids. The choice of plasmid will depend on the type of cell in which propagation is desired and the purpose of propagation. Certain vectors are useful for amplifying and making large amounts of the desired DNA sequence. Other vectors are suitable for expression in cells in culture. Still other vectors are suitable for transfer and expression in cells in a whole animal or person. The choice of appropriate vector is well within the skill of the art. Many such s are available commercially. The partial or fulllength polynucleotide is inserted into a vector typically by means of DNA ligase attachment to a cleaved restriction enzyme site in the vector. Alternatively, the d tide ce can be inserted by homologous recombination in vivo. Typically this is accomplished by attaching regions of homology to the vector on the flanks of the desired nucleotide sequence. s of homology are added by ligation of oligonucleotides, or by polymerase chain reaction using primers comprising both the region of homology and a portion of the desired nucleotide sequence, for example.

For expression, a expression cassette or system may be employed. To express a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide disclosed herein, a nucleic acid molecule encoding the ptide, operably linked to regulatory sequences that control transcriptional expression in an expression vector, is introduced into a host cell In addition to transcriptional regulatory sequences, such as ers and ers, expression vectors can include translational regulatory ces and a marker gene which is suitable for selection of cells that carry the expression vector. The gene product encoded by a polynucleotide of the invention is expressed in any convenient sion system, ing, for example, bacterial, yeast, insect, amphibian and mammalian systems. In the expression vector, the polypeptideencoding polynucleotide is linked to a regulatory ce as appropriate to obtain the desired expression properties. These can include ers, enhancers, terminators, operators, repressors, and rs. The promoters can be regulated (e.g., the promoter from the steroid inducible pIND vector (Invitrogen)) or constitutive (e.g., promoters from CMV, SV40, Elongation Factor, or LTR sequences). These are linked to the desired nucleotide sequence using the techniques bed above for linkage to vectors. Any techniques known in the art can be used. Accordingly, the expression vector will generally provide a transcriptional and ational initiation , which can be inducible or constitutive, where the coding region is operably linked under the riptional control of the riptional initiation region, and a transcriptional and translational termination region. [0 0] An expression cassette ("expression unit") can be uced into a variety of vectors, e.g., plasmid, BAC, YAC, bacteriophage such as lambda, P 1, M13, etc., plant or animal viral vectors (e.g., retroviral-based vectors, adenovirus s), and the like, where the vectors are ly characterized by the ability to provide selection of cells comprising the expression vectors. The vectors can provide for extrachromosomal maintenance, ularly as plasmids or viruses, or for integration into the host chromosome. Where extrachromosomal maintenance is d, an origin sequence is provided for the replication of the plasmid, which can be low- or high copy-number. A wide variety of markers are available for selection, particularly those which protect against toxins, more particularly against antibiotics. The particular marker that is chosen is selected in accordance with the nature of the host, where in some cases, complementation can be employed with auxotrophic hosts. Introduction of the DNA construct can use any convenient method, including, e.g., conjugation, bacterial transformation, calcium-precipitated DNA, electroporation, fusion, transfection, ion with viral vectors, biolistics, and the like.

Accordingly, proteins for use within the present invention can be produced in genetically engineered host cells according to conventional techniques. le host cells are those cell types that can be transformed or transfected with exogenous DNA and grown in culture, and include ia, fungal cells, and cultured higher eukaryotic cells (including cultured cells of ellular organisms), ularly cultured mammalian cells. Techniques for manipulating cloned DNA molecules and introducing exogenous DNA into a variety of host cells are disclosed by Sambrook and Russell, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (3rd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, 2001), and Ausubel et al., Short Protocols in Molecular Biology (4th ed., John Wiley & Sons, 1999).

For example, for recombinant expression of a homodimeric PSMA-binding protein comprising two identical PSMA-binding polypeptides as described herein, an expression vector will generally include a nucleic acid segment encoding the PSMA-binding polypeptide, operably linked to a er. For recombinant expression of a heterodimeric PSMA- binding protein, comprising different first and second polypeptide chains, the first and second polypeptide chains can be co-expressed from separate vectors in the host cell for expression of the entire dimeric protein. Alternatively, for the expression of heterodimeric PSMA- binding proteins, the first and second ptide chains are co-expressed from separate expression units in the same vector in the host cell for sion of the entire heterodimeric protein. The expression vector(s) are transferred to a host cell by conventional techniques, and the transfected cells are then cultured by conventional techniques to produce the encoded polypeptide(s) to produce the corresponding PSMA-binding protein.

To direct a recombinant protein into the secretory pathway of a host cell, a secretory signal ce (also known as a leader sequence) is provided in the expression . The secretory signal sequence can be that of the native form of the recombinant n, or can be derived from another secreted protein or synthesized de novo. The secretory signal sequence is operably linked to the polypeptide-encoding DNA sequence, i.e., the two sequences are joined in the correct reading frame and positioned to direct the newly synthesized polypeptide into the secretory pathway of the host cell. Secretory signal sequences are commonly positioned 5' to the DNA sequence encoding the polypeptide of interest, although certain signal sequences can be positioned elsewhere in the DNA sequence of interest (see, e.g., Welch et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,037,743; Holland et al., U.S.

Patent No. 5,143,830). In certain ions, a secretory signal sequence for use in accordance with the present invention has the amino acid sequence MEAPAQLLFLLLLWLPDTTG (SEQ ID NO:85).

Cultured mammalian cells are suitable hosts for tion of recombinant proteins for use within the present invention. Methods for introducing exogenous DNA into mammalian host cells e calcium phosphate-mediated transfection (Wigler et al., Cell 14:725, 1978; Corsaro and n, Somatic Cell Genetics 7:603, 1981 : Graham and Van der Eb, Virology 52:456, 1973), electroporation (Neumann e a/., EMBO J. 1:841-845, 1982), DEAE-dextran ed transfection el et al., supra), and liposome-mediated transfection (Hawley-Nelson e a/., Focus 15:73, 1993; Ciccarone e a/., Focus 15:80, 1993).

The production of recombinant ptides in cultured mammalian cells is disclosed by, for example, Levinson e a/., U.S. Patent No. 4,713,339; Hagen er a/., U.S. Patent No. 4,784,950; Palmiter er al., U.S. Patent No. 4,579,821 ; and Ringold, U.S. Patent No. 4,656,134. Examples of suitable mammalian host cells include African green monkey kidney cells (Vero; ATCC CRL 1587), human embryonic kidney cells (293-HEK; ATCC CRL 1573), baby hamster kidney cells (BHK-21, BHK-570; ATCC CRL 8544, ATCC CRL 10314), canine kidney cells (MDCK; ATCC CCL 34), Chinese hamster ovary cells 1 ; ATCC CCL61 ; CHO DG44; CHO DXB1 1 (Hyclone, Logan, UT); see also, e.g., Chasin et a!, Som. Cell.

Molec. Genet. 12:555, 1986)), rat pituitary cells (GH1 ; ATCC CCL82), HeLa S3 cells (ATCC CCL2.2), rat hepatoma cells (HII-E; ATCC CRL 1548) SV40-transformed monkey kidney cells ; ATCC CRL 1650) and murine embryonic cells (NIH-3T3; ATCC CRL 1658).

Additional suitable cell lines are known in the art and available from public depositories such as the an Type Culture tion, Manassas, Virginia. Strong transcription promoters can be used, such as promoters from SV-40 or cytomegalovirus. See, e.g., U.S.

Patent No. 288. Other suitable promoters include those from metallothionein genes (U.S. Patents Nos. 4,579,821 and 4,601,978) and the adenovirus major late promoter.

Drug selection is generally used to select for cultured mammalian cells into which foreign DNA has been inserted. Such cells are commonly referred to as "transfectants." Cells that have been cultured in the presence of the selective agent and are able to pass the gene of interest to their progeny are referred to as "stable ectants." Exemplary selectable markers e a gene ng resistance to the antibiotic neomycin, which allows selection to be carried out in the ce of a neomycin-type drug, such as G-418 or the like; the gpt gene for xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase, which permits host cell growth in the presence of mycophenolic acid/xanthine; and markers that provide resistance to zeocin, bleomycin, blastocidin, and hygromycin (see, e.g., Gatignol et al., Mol.

Gen. Genet. 207:342, 1987; Drocourt et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 9, 1990). ion s can also be used to increase the expression level of the gene of interest, a process referred to as "amplification." Amplification is carried out by culturing transfectants in the presence of a low level of the selective agent and then sing the amount of selective agent to select for cells that produce high levels of the products of the introduced genes. An exemplary amplifiable selectable marker is dihydrofolate reductase, which confers resistance to methotrexate. Other drug resistance genes (e.g., hygromycin resistance, multi-drug resistance, puromycin transferase) can also be used.

Other higher eukaryotic cells can also be used as hosts, including insect cells, plant cells and avian cells. The use of Agrobacterium rhizogenes as a vector for expressing genes in plant cells has been reviewed by Sinkar et al., J. Biosci. (Bangalore) 11:47-58, 1987. Transformation of insect cells and production of foreign polypeptides therein is disclosed by Guarino et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,162,222 and WIPO publication WO 94/06463.

Insect cells can be infected with recombinant baculovirus, commonly derived from Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus ). See King and Possee, The virus Expression System: A Laboratory Guide (Chapman & Hall, London); O'Reilly et al., virus Expression Vectors: A Laboratory Manual (Oxford University Press., New York 1994); and Baculovirus Expression Protocols. Methods in Molecular Biology (Richardson ed., Humana Press, Totowa, NJ, 1995). inant baculovirus can also be produced through the use of a transposon-based system described by Luckow et al. (J.

Virol. 67:4566-4579, 1993). This , which utilizes transfer vectors, is commercially available in kit form (BAC-TO-BAC kit; Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD). The transfer vector (e.g., AC1 ; Life Technologies) contains a Tn7 transposon to move the DNA encoding the protein of interest into a baculovirus genome maintained in £ coli as a large plasmid called a "bacmid." See Hill-Perkins and Possee, J. Gen. Virol. 7 976, 1990; Bonning et a/., J. Gen. Virol. 75:1551-1556, 1994; and Chazenbalk and Rapoport, J. Biol.

Chem. 270:1543-1549, 1995. In addition, transfer vectors can include an in-frame fusion with DNA encoding a polypeptide extension or affinity tag as disclosed above. Using techniques known in the art, a transfer vector containing a protein-encoding DNA sequence is transformed into £ coli host cells, and the cells are screened for bacmids which contain an interrupted lacZ gene indicative of recombinant virus. The bacmid DNA containing the recombinant baculovirus genome is isolated, using common techniques, and used to transfect Spodoptera frugiperda cells, such as Sf9 cells. Recombinant virus that expresses the protein or interest is subsequently produced. Recombinant viral stocks are made by methods commonly used in the art.

For protein production, the recombinant virus is used to infect host cells, typically a cell line d from the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (e.g., Sf9 or Sf21 cells) or Trichoplusia ni (e.g., HIGH FIVE cells; Invitrogen, ad, CA). See generally Glick and Pasternak, Molecular Biotechnology, Principles & Applications of Recombinant DNA (ASM Press, gton, D.C., 1994). See also U.S. Patent No. 435. Serum-free media are used to grow and maintain the cells. Suitable media formulations are known in the art and can be obtained from commercial suppliers. The cells are grown up from an inoculation density of approximately 2-5 x 105 cells to a density of 1-2 x 106 cells, at which time a inant viral stock is added at a licity of infection (MOI) of 0.1 to 10, more lly near 3 . Procedures used are generally described in available laboratory manuals (see, e.g., King and Possee, supra; O'Reilly et ai, supra; Richardson, supra).

Fungal cells, including yeast cells, can also be used within the present ion.

Yeast species of in this regard include, e.g., Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, and Pichia methanolica. Methods for transforming S. cerevisiae cells with exogenous DNA and producing recombinant polypeptides therefrom are disclosed by, for example, Kawasaki, U.S. Patent No. 4,599,31 1; Kawasaki et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,931 ,373; Brake, U.S. Patent No. 4,870,008; Welch et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,037,743; and Murray e a/., U.S. Patent No. 4,845,075. Transformed cells are selected by phenotype determined by the selectable marker, commonly drug ance or the ability to grow in the absence of a particular nt (e.g., leucine). An exemplary vector system for use in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the POT1 vector system sed by Kawasaki et al. (U.S. Patent No. 4,931,373), which allows transformed cells to be selected by growth in glucose-containing media. Suitable promoters and terminators for use in yeast include those from glycolytic enzyme genes (see, e.g., Kawasaki, U.S. Patent No. 4,599,31 1; Kingsman e a/., U.S. Patent No. 4,615,974; and Bitter, U.S. Patent No. 4,977,092) and alcohol dehydrogenase genes. See also U.S.

Patents Nos. 4,990,446; 5,063,154; 5,139,936; and 4,661 ,454. Transformation systems for other yeasts, including Hansenula rpha, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Kluyveromyces lactis, Kluyveromyces is, Ustilago maydis, Pichia pastoris, Pichia methanolica, Pichia guillermondii, and Candida maltosa are known in the art. See, e.g., G!eeson e a/., J. Gen. Microbiol. 132:3459-3465, 1986; Cregg, U.S. Patent No. 4,882,279; and Raymond et al., Yeast 14:1 1-23, 1998. Aspergillus cells can be utilized ing to the methods of McKnight ef al., U.S. Patent No. 4,935,349. Methods for transforming Acremonium chrysogenum are disclosed by Sumino et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,162,228. s for transforming Neurospora are disclosed by Lambowitz, U.S. Patent No. 4,486,533. Production of recombinant proteins in Pichia methanolica is disclosed in U.S.

Patents Nos. 5,716,808; 5,736,383; 5,854,039; and 5,888,768.

Prokaryotic host cells, including strains of the bacteria Escherichia coli, Bacillus, and other genera are also useful host cells within the present invention. Techniques for transforming these hosts and expressing foreign DNA sequences cloned therein are wellknown in the art (see, e.g., Sambrook and Russell, supra). When expressing a recombinant protein in bacteria such as E . coli, the protein can be ed in the cytoplasm, typically as ble es, or can be directed to the periplasmic space by a bacterial secretion sequence. In the former case, the cells are lysed, and the granules are recovered and denatured using, for example, guanidine isothiocyanate or urea. The denatured protein can then be refolded and dimerized by diluting the rant, such as by dialysis against a solution of urea and a ation of reduced and oxidized glutathione, followed by dialysis against a buffered saline solution. In the alternative, the n can be recovered from the cytoplasm in soluble form and isolated without the use of denaturants. The n is recovered from the cell as an aqueous extract in, for example, phosphate buffered saline.

To capture the n of interest, the extract is applied directly to a chromatographic medium, such as an immobilized antibody or n-Sepharose column. Secreted proteins can be recovered from the periplasmic space in a soluble and functional form by disrupting the cells (by, for example, sonication or osmotic shock) to release the contents of the periplasmic space and recovering the protein, y obviating the need for denaturation and refolding. Antibodies, including single-chain antibodies, can be produced in bacterial host cells according to known s. See, e.g., Bird ef al., e 242:423-426, 1988; Huston e a/., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883, 1988; and Pantoliano e a/., m. 30:101 17-10125, 1991.

Transformed or ected host cells are cultured according to conventional procedures in a culture medium containing nutrients and other components required for the growth of the chosen host cells. A variety of suitable media, including defined media and complex media, are known in the art and generally include a carbon source, a nitrogen source, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Media can also contain such components as growth factors or serum, as required. The growth medium will generally select for cells containing the exogenously added DNA by, for example, drug selection or deficiency in an essential nutrient which is complemented by the able marker carried on the expression vector or co-transfected into the host cell.

PSMA-binding proteins are purified by tional protein purification methods, typically by a combination of chromatographic techniques. See generally Affinity tography: Principles & Methods (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology, Uppsala, Sweden, 1988); Scopes, Protein Purification: Principles and Practice (Springer-Verlag, New York 1994). ns comprising an immunoglobulin Fc region can be purified by affinity chromatography on immobilized protein A or n G . Additional purification steps, such as gel filtration, can be used to obtain the desired level of purity or to provide for desalting, buffer exchange, and the like.

V . Methods of Treatment In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for treating a disorder characterized by overexpression of PSMA. Generally, such methods include stering to a t in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a PSMA-binding protein as bed herein. In some ments, the PSMA-binding protein comprises at least one effector function ed from antibody-dependent cell- mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), such that the inding protein induces ADCC and/or CDC against PSMA-expressing cells in the subject. In other embodiments, where the PSMA-binding protein comprises a second binding domain that specifically binds a T cell (e.g., to a TCR complex or component thereof, such as CD3s), the PSMA-binding protein induces redirected T-cell cytotoxicity (RTCC) against PSMA-expressing cells in the subject.

In certain variations of the method, the disorder is a cancer. Exemplary s amenable to treatment in accordance with the t invention include, for example, prostate cancer (e.g., castrate-resistant prostate cancer), colorectal cancer, c cancer, clear cell renal carcinoma, bladder cancer, and lung cancer. In other variations, the disorder is a prostate disorder such as, for example, prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (SPH). In yet other embodiments, the disorder is an neovascular disorder such as, for example, a cancer characterized by solid tumor growth. Exemplary cancers with tumor atures characterized by PSMA overexpression and amenable to treatment in accordance with the t invention e, for example, clear cell renal carcinoma (CCRCC), colorectal , breast cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, a d pancreatic cancer (see, e.g., Baccala et a/., Urology 70:385-390, 2007 (expression of PSMA in CCRCC); L u et al., Cancer Res. 57:3829-3634, 1997 (expression of PSMA in various nonprostate cancers, including renal, urothelial, ung, colon, breast, and adenocardnaorna to the ; and wsky e a/., J . Clin. Oncol. 25:540-547, 2007 (expression in, e.g., kidney, colon, bladder, and atic cancers, and demonstration of specific targeting of tumor vasculature in humans using an anti-PSMA mAb).

In each of the embodiments of the treatment methods described herein, the PSMA- binding protein is delivered in a manner consistent with conventional methodologies associated with ment of the disease or disorder for which treatment is sought. In accordance with the disclosure herein, an effective amount of the PSMA-binding protein is administered to a subject in need of such treatment for a time and under conditions sufficient to t or treat the disease or disorder.

Subjects for administration of PSMA-binding ns as described herein include patients at high risk for developing a particular disorder characterized by PSMA overexpression as well as patients presenting with an existing such disorder. lly, the subject has been diagnosed as having the disorder for which treatment is sought. Further, subjects can be monitored during the course of treatment for any change in the disorder (e.g., for an increase or decrease in clinical symptoms of the disorder). Also, in some variations, the subject does not suffer from another disorder requiring treatment that involves targeting xpressing cells.

In prophylactic applications, pharmaceutical compositions or medicants are administered to a patient susceptible to, or otherwise at risk of, a particular disorder in an amount sufficient to eliminate or reduce the risk or delay the onset of the disorder. In therapeutic ations, compositions or medicants are administered to a patient suspected of, or already suffering from such a disorder in an amount ient to cure, or at least partially arrest, the symptoms of the disorder and its complications. An amount te to accomplish this is ed to as a therapeutically effective dose or amount. In both prophylactic and therapeutic s, agents are usually administered in several dosages until a sufficient response (e.g., inhibition of opriate angiogenesis activity) has been achieved. Typically, the response is monitored and repeated dosages are given if the desired response starts to fade.

To identify subject ts for treatment according to the methods of the ion, accepted screening methods can be employed to determine risk factors ated with specific disorders or to determine the status of an existing disorder identified in a t.

Such methods can include, for example, determining whether an individual has relatives who have been diagnosed with a particular disorder. Screening methods can also include, for example, conventional work-ups to determine familial status for a particular disorder known to have a heritable component. For example, various cancers are also known to have certain inheritable components. Inheritable components of cancers include, for e, mutations in multiple genes that are transforming (e.g., Ras, Raf, EGFR, cMet, and others), the presence or absence of certain HLA and killer inhibitory receptor (KIR) les, or isms by which cancer cells are able to modulate immune ssion of cells like NK cells and T cells, either directly or indirectly (see, e.g., Ljunggren and Malmberg, Nature Rev. l. 7:329-339, 2007; Boyton and Altmann, Clin. Exp. Immunol. 8, 2007).

Toward this end, nucleotide probes can be routinely employed to identify individuals carrying genetic markers ated with a particular er of interest. In addition, a wide variety of immunological methods are known in the art that are useful to identify markers for specific disorder. For example, various ELISA immunoassay methods are available and well-known in the art that employ monoclonal antibody probes to detect antigens associated with specific tumors. Screening can be implemented as indicated by known patient symptomology, age factors, related risk factors, etc. These methods allow the clinician to routinely select patients in need of the methods described herein for treatment. In accordance with these methods, targeting pathological, PSMA-expressing cells can be implemented as an independent treatment program or as a follow-up, adjunct, or coordinate treatment n to other treatments.

For administration, the PSMA-binding protein is formulated as a ceutical composition. A pharmaceutical composition sing a PSMA-binding protein can be ated according to known methods to prepare pharmaceutically useful compositions, whereby the therapeutic molecule is combined in a mixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A composition is said to be a "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" if its administration can be ted by a recipient patient. Sterile phosphate-buffered saline is one example of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Other suitable carriers are well- known to those in the art. (See, e.g., Gennaro (ed.), Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company, 19th ed. 1995).) Formulations can r include one or more excipients, preservatives, solubilizers, buffering agents, n to prevent protein loss on vial surfaces, etc.

A pharmaceutical composition comprising a PSMA-binding protein is stered to a subject in a therapeutically effective amount. According to the methods of the present invention, a PSMA-binding protein can be administered to ts by a variety of administration modes, including, for example, by intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, intra-atrial, intra-articular, parenteral, intranasal, ulmonary, transdermal, intrapleural, intrathecal, and oral routes of administration. For tion and treatment purposes, an antagonist can be administered to a subject in a single bolus ry, via continuous delivery (e.g., continuous transdermal delivery) over an extended time period, or in a repeated administration protocol {e.g., on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis). [021 1] A "therapeutically effective " of a composition is that amount that produces a statistically significant effect in amelioration of one or more symptoms of the disorder, such as a statistically significant reduction in disease progression or a statistically significant improvement in organ function. The exact dose will be determined by the clinician according to accepted standards, taking into account the nature and severity of the condition to be treated, patient , etc. Determination of dose is within the level of ordinary skill in the art.

Determination of effective dosages in this t is lly based on animal model studies followed up by human clinical trials and is guided by determining effective dosages and administration protocols that significantly reduce the occurrence or severity of the subject disorder in model subjects. Effective doses of the compositions of the present invention vary depending upon many different factors, ing means of administration, target site, physiological state of the patient, whether the patient is human or an animal, other medications administered, whether treatment is prophylactic or therapeutic, as well as the specific activity of the ition itself and its ability to elicit the desired response in the dual. Usually, the patient is a human, but in some diseases, the t can be a nonhuman mammal. Typically, dosage regimens are adjusted to provide an optimum therapeutic response, i.e., to optimize safety and efficacy. Accordingly, a therapeutically effective amount is also one in which any undesired collateral effects are outweighed by the beneficial effects of administering a PSMA-binding protein as described herein. For administration of the PSMA-binding protein, a dosage typically ranges from about 0.1 mg to 100 mg/kg or 1 g/kg to about 50 mg/kg, and more usually 10 g to 5 mg/kg of the subject's body weight. In more specific embodiments, an effective amount of the agent is between about 1 g/kg and about 20 mg/kg, between about 10 pg/kg and about 10 mg/kg, or n about 0.1 mg/kg and about 5 mg/kg. Dosages within this range can be ed by single or le administrations, ing, e.g., multiple administrations per day or daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly administrations. For e, in certain variations, a regimen consists of an initial administration followed by multiple, subsequent administrations at weekly or bi-weekly intervals. Another regimen consists of an initial administration followed by multiple, subsequent administrations at monthly or bi-monthly intervals. atively, administrations can be on an irregular basis as indicated by monitoring clinical symptoms of the disorder.

Dosage of the pharmaceutical composition can be varied by the attending ian to maintain a desired concentration at a target site. For example, if an intravenous mode of delivery is selected, local concentration of the agent in the bloodstream at the target tissue can be between about 1-50 nanomoles of the composition per liter, sometimes between about 1.0 nanomole per liter and 10, 15, or 25 nanomoles per liter depending on the subject's status and projected measured se. Higher or lower concentrations can be selected based on the mode of delivery, e.g., trans-epidermal delivery versus delivery to a mucosal surface. Dosage should also be adjusted based on the release rate of the administered formulation, e.g., nasal spray versus powder, sustained release oral or injected particles, transdermal formulations, etc. To achieve the same serum concentration level, for example, elease particles with a release rate of 5 nanomolar (under standard conditions) would be administered at about twice the dosage of particles with a release rate of 10 nanomolar.

Pharmaceutical compositions as described herein can also be used in the context of combination therapy. The term nation therapy" is used herein to denote that a subject is administered at least one therapeutically effective dose of a PSMA-binding protein and r therapeutic agent.

For example, in the context of cancer immunotherapy, a PSMA-binding protein of the present invention can be used in combination with chemotherapy or ion. A PSMA- binding protein as bed herein can work in synergy with conventional types of chemotherapy or radiation. The PSMA-binding protein can further reduce tumor burden and allow more efficient killing by a chemotherapeutic.

Compositions of the present ion can also be used in combination with immunomodulatory compounds ing various cytokines and co-stimulatory/inhibitory molecules. These can e, but are not limited to, the use of cytokines that ate anti cancer immune responses (e.g., !L-2, !L-12, or iL-21). In on, PS!vlA-binding proteins can be combined with ts that co-stimulate various cell surface molecules found on immune-based effector cells, such as the activation of CD137 (see Wilcox et a/., J Clin.

Invest. 109:651-9, 2002) or tion of CTLA4 (see Chambers et al., Ann. Rev. Immunol. -94, 2001). Alternatively, PSMA-binding proteins could be used with reagents that induce tumor cell apoptosis by interacting with TNF superfamily receptors (e.g., TRAIL- related receptors, DR4, DR5, Fas, or CD37). (See, e.g., Takeda et a !. . J. Exp. Med. 195:161-9, 2002; Srivastava, Neoplasia 3:535-46, 2001 .) Such reagents include iigands of TNF superfamiiy receptors, including gand- g fusions, and antibodies ic for TNF superfamily receptors (e.g., TRAIL ligand, TRAIL ligand-lg fusions, anti-TRAIL antibodies, and the like).

With particular regard to treatment of solid tumors, protocols for assessing endpoints and umor activity are well-known in the art. While each protocol may define tumor response assessments differently, the RECIST (Response evaluation Criteria in solid tumors) criteria is currently considered to be the ended guidelines for assessment of tumor se by the National Cancer Institute (see Therasse et a/., J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 92:205-216, 2000). According to the RECIST criteria tumor response means a reduction or elimination of all measurable lesions or metastases. Disease is generally considered measurable if it comprises lesions that can be accurately ed in at least one dimension as > 20mm with conventional techniques or > 10mm with spiral CT scan with clearly defined margins by medical photograph or X-ray, computerized axial aphy (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or al examination (if lesions are superficial).

Non-measurable disease means the e comprises of lesions < 20mm with conventional techniques or < 10mm with spiral CT scan, and truly non-measurable lesions (too small to accurately measure). Non-measureable disease includes l effusions, ascites, and disease documented by indirect evidence.

The criteria for objective status are ed for protocols to assess solid tumor response. Representative criteria include the following: (1) Complete Response (CR), defined as complete disappearance of all measurable disease; no new lesions; no disease related symptoms; no evidence of non-measurable disease; (2) Partial Response (PR) defined as 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions (3) Progressive e (PD), d as 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or appearance of any new lesion; (4) Stable or No Response, defined as not qualifying for CR, PR, or Progressive Disease. (See Therasse et a/., ) Additional endpoints that are accepted within the gy art include overall survival (OS), disease-free al (DFS), objective response rate (ORR), time to progression (TTP), and ssion-free survival (PFS) (see Guidance for Industry: Clinical Trial nts for the Approval of Cancer Drugs and Biologies, April 2005, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, FDA, Rockville, D.) Pharmaceutical compositions can be supplied as a kit comprising a container that comprises the pharmaceutical composition as described herein. A pharmaceutical composition can be provided, for example, in the form of an injectable solution for single or multiple doses, or as a sterile powder that will be reconstituted before injection.

Alternatively, such a kit can include a wder ser, liquid aerosol generator, or nebulizer for administration of a pharmaceutical composition. Such a kit can further comprise written information on indications and usage of the pharmaceutical composition.

EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1: Isolation of murine variable domains from 4 and preparation of humanized variants Murine variable domains were cloned from hybridoma cells expressing the 107-1A4 monoclonal antibody specific for human PSMA (see Brown et al, 1998, Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases. 1: 208-215). Total RNA was isolated from the hybridoma using RNeasy® Protect Mini kit N Inc., 74124) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

SMART™ RACE cDNA amplification kit ech Laboratories, Inc., 634914) was used to generate 5'RACE-ready cDNA with oligo(dT) primer according to the manufacturer's instructions. V and V regions of dy were PCR-amplified from cDNA by SMART™ H L RACE protocol using pools of proprietary degenerate gene specific primers for ent murine VK or VH gene families. PCR ication products were confirmed by gel electrophoresis, and correct sized bands were isolated and cloned into pCR®2.1-TOPO ® plasmid vector using the TOPO® TA Cloning kit ing to manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen Corporation). The resulting recombinant vector was transformed into TOP10 £ coli. Sequencing DNA from clones revealed le isolates of a heavy chain region with a murine VH1 framework with high homology (92.7%) to the murine germline framework L17134 (Genbank), and a kappa chain region with a murine Vk16 framework with very high homology (98.6%) to the murine germline framework AJ235936 (EMBL). Two restriction sites - one Hindlll and one EcoRI site - were removed by neutral mutations from the DNA coding for the parent murine kappa (light) variable domain to fy cloning into ation mammalian sion vectors, and the native murine secretion/leader sequences were also not used in favor of the human Vk3 leader sequence. The polynucleotide sequence of PSMA-specific murine VH region (107-1A4) is given in SEQ ID NO:1, and the amino acid sequence is given in SEQ ID NO:2. The polynucleotide sequence of pecific murine VL region (107-1A4) with the restriction sites is given in SEQ ID NO:3. The polynucleotide sequence of PSMA-specific murine VL region (107-1A4) modified to remove the restriction sites is given in SEQ ID NO:4, and the amino acid sequence is given in SEQ ID NO:5.

DNA sequences coding for these murine scFv sequences and cassetted for insertion into appropriate scaffolds (e.g., SMIP, SCORPION, and mono-specific or multispecific heterodimer polypeptides) were designed. The constructs were then synthesized by Blue Heron (Bothell, WA) and standard, restriction-digest-based cloning ques were used to produce the gene sequences corresponding to TSC084 (SEQ ID NO:44; amino acid ce SEQ ID NO:46), TSC085 (SEQ ID NO:36; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:38), and TSC092 (SEQ ID NO:37; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:39).

Humanized sequences designed h CDR grafting to human frameworks were similarly synthesized by Blue Heron and cloned into similar vectors using restriction digests to produce the the following gene sequences using two approaches: (A) three piece ligation using a l/BamHI fragment, a BamHI/Xhol nt, and a destination vector cut with HindiΊΊ/Xhol to produce the gene sequences corresponding to TSC188 (SEQ ID NO:40; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:42) and TSC189 (SEQ ID NO:41 ; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:43); and (B) two piece ligation using a Hindlll/Xhol fragment and a destination vector cut with Hindlll/Xhol to produce the gene sequences corresponding to TSC192 (SEQ ID NO:53; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:58), TSC193 (SEQ ID NO:54; amino acid sequence SEQ ID , TSC194 (SEQ ID NO:48; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:49), TSC195 (SEQ ID NO:55; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:60), TSC196 (SEQ ID NO:56; amino acid ce SEQ ID NO:61), TSC199 (SEQ ID NO:50; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:51), TSC210 (SEQ ID NO:69; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:70), TSC21 1 (SEQ ID NO:71 ; amino acid ce SEQ ID NO:72), TSC212 (SEQ ID NO:73; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:74), TSC213 (SEQ ID NO:75; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:76); TSC249 (SEQ ID NO:77; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:78), TSC250 (SEQ ID NO:79; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:80), TSC251 (SEQ ID NO:81 ; amino acid ce SEQ ID NO:82), and TSC252 (SEQ ID NO:83; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:84); and (C) two piece ligation using a BsrGI/EcoRI fragment and one of two destination vectors cut with BsrGI/EcoRI to produce the gene sequences ponding to TSC295 (SEQ ID NO: 157; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:158), TSC296 (SEQ ID NO:159; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 160), TSC301 (SEQ ID NO:161 ; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:162), and TSC302 (SEQ ID NO:163; amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:164). The humanized PSMA- specific (107-1A4) VL region polynucleotide sequence is given in SEQ ID NO:22, and the amino acid sequence is given in SEQ ID NO:23. A zed PSMA-specific (107-1A4) VH region # 1 polynucleotide sequence is given in SEQ ID NO:24, and the amino acid ce is given in SEQ ID NO:25. A humanized PSMA-specific (107-1A4) VH region #2 polynucleotide sequence is given in SEQ ID NO:26, and the amino acid sequence is given in SEQ ID NO:27.

Sequences for the various cloned sequences and components are also presented in Table 3 . Amino acid sequences given for ptide constructs (e.g,, SMIP, SCORPION, mono- or specific heterodimeric proteins) do not include the human Vk3 leader sequence.

EXAMPLE 3 : SCORPION Molecule Construction [02333 pecific SCORPION molecules (TSC1 4 SEQ D NO:48 (nucleic acid), SEQ D NG:49 (amino acid); TSC199 (SEQ D NO:50 (nucleic acid), SEQ D NO:51 (amino acid)); TSC 212 (SEQ D Q:73 (nucleic acid), SEQ ΪΌ NO:74 (amino acid}); TSC213 (SEQ ID NO:75 (nucleic acid), SEQ ID NO:76 (amino acid)); TSC249 (SEQ D NO:77 (nucleic acid), SEQ ID NO:78 (amino acid)); TSC250 (SEQ ID NO:79 (nucleic acid), SEQ ID NO:80 (amino acid)); TSC251 (SEQ ID NO:81 (nucleic acid), SEQ ID NO:82 (amino acid)); and TSC252 (SEQ ID NO:83 (nucleic acid), SEQ ID NO:84 (amino acid))) were made using standard molecular biology techniques, starting with existing SCORPION scaffolding as templates and using the methods generally sed in, e.g., PCT Application Publication No. , U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2008/0051844, PCT Application Publication No. , PCT Application Publication No. WO 2010/003108, and U.S. Patent No. 7,166,707 (see also Table 3).

EXAMPLE 4 : Binding of chimeric and humanized molecules to PSMA(+) and PSMA(-) cell lines onal antibodies were purified from hybridoma cell culture media by standard procedures. SMIP, Interceptor, and SCORPION molecules disclosed herein were produced by transient transfection of human HEK293 cells, and purified from cell culture supernatants by Protein A affinity chromatography. If aggregates were detected after affinity chromatography, secondary size exclusion tography was also performed to ensure homogeneity of the protein. g studies on PSMA+ (C4-2, W u et al., 1994 Int. J. Cancer 57:406-12) and PSMA- (DU-145, Stone et al., 1978, Intl. J. Cancer -81) prostate cancer cell lines were performed by standard FACS-based staining procedures. A typical ment would label 300,000 cells per well with a range of 200 nM to 0.1 nM binding molecule in 100 ul of FACS buffer (PBS + 2% normal goat serum + 2% fetal bovine serum + 0.1% sodium azide) on ice, followed by washes and incubation with fluorescently-labeled secondary dy, goat anti-human IgG ( 1:400 dilution of Invitrogen # 11013 = 5 ug/ml). After washing secondary antibody off cells, cells were incubated with 7-Aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD) staining solution (BD Pharmingen™cat# 559925)(6 ul of 7AAD to 100 ul of FACS Buffer) for minutes. Signal from bound molecules was detected using a FACSCalibur™ flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and analyzed by FlowJo flow cytometry analysis software. 7- AAD+ cells were excluded from is. Nonlinear regression analysis to determine EC50s was performed in GraphPad Prism® ng and statistics software.

Binding studies (Figure 1) were used to compare the parent 107-1A4 murine antibody (i.e., TSC045) with the chimeric SMIP molecules (TSC085, TSC092) and the bispecific, chimeric Interceptor molecule TSC122. Both chimeric SMIP molecules showed comparable affinity to PSMA+ cells as the parent murine antibody, although one (TSC085, with a VL-VH scFv orientation) showed a lower level of saturation on the surface of the cell.

The bispecific, chimeric Interceptor molecule (TSC122), which had only a single 4 binding , showed a lower binding affinity to the PSMA+ cells. All showed little to no binding to the PSMA- cell line DU-145. g studies of zed SMIP molecules TSC188 and TSC189 (Figure 2A) showed comparable affinities to those previously determined (data not shown) for the parent monoclonal antibody, with rly high levels of saturation and selectivity for PSMA+ C4-2 cells over PSMA- DU-145 cells. Binding studies of zed SCORPION molecules TSC194 and TSC199 showed comparable affinities to the parental zed SMIP molecules TSC188 and TSC189 (Figure 2B), with no binding to the PSMA- DU-145 cell line.

E 5 : Differential cellular internalization seen between 4 antibody, SMIP and Interceptor scaffolds The binding proteins for internalization s were directly labeled with CypHer™5E Mono NHS Ester (GE Healthcare, #PA15401) according to cturer's instructions. 5E is a sitive red excited dye that fluoresces at low pH, which is typically encountered inside of endosomes and lysosomes; CypHer5E fluorescence can be used as a proxy for cellular internalization as a result. Dye dissolved in fresh DMSO was added to purified protein in PBS/sodium carbonate buffer, pH 8.3 (9:1), at a otein molar ratio of 20:1 . After at least 1 hour incubation in the dark at room temperature, labeled protein was separated from unreacted dye by dialysis at 4°C. Absorbance at 280 nm and 500 nm was used to calculate protein and dye concentration for the labeled material. The resulting dye:protein ratio ranged from 6 to 14, and this value was used to normalize the imaging data. To ensure that the presence of protein aggregates did not bias the internalization data, when individual molecules had detectable levels of aggregates (>5%), secondary size exclusion chromatography was used to purify molecules to very high levels of homogeneity (>95%).

Cells were plated 2 days before experiment at 4000 cells per well in poly-D-lysinecoated 96-well plates, black with clear bottoms (BD Biocoat, ) in usual culture media.

Media changes during experiment were conducted carefully to maintain cell adhesion to surface. Nuclei were d with Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen, H3570) in serum-free phenol red-free RPMI media (Invitrogen, 11835) plus 20mM HEPES (Invitrogen, 15630) (called PRF-RPMI) for an hour. Wells were washed with PRF-RPMI plus 10% FBS, and 100 ul warm PRF-RPMI + 10% FBS was added. Plates were moved to ice for 5 minutes then labeled g proteins at various dilutions were added from 5x stock solutions for one hour binding on ice. Plates were moved to a 37°C C0 incubator for 60 minutes to allow alization to proceed. Before imaging, media was replaced with PRF-RPMI + 1 % FBS.

Wells were scanned on IN Cell Analyzer 1000 automated cellular and subcellular imaging system (GE Healthcare) to quantitate internalized protein, data was collected from 8 fields in each well. The acquisition protocol was set to collect data with suitable filter sets for Hoechst and CypHer5E, and bright field images. Data was analyzed by IN Cell Investigator software, using a protocol developed to detect fluorescent granules within a zone of cytoplasm encircling each nucleus and measuring their area. Total granule area ed was normalized to compensate for the relative level of dye tution per labeled protein.

Internalization experiments using the parental 107-1A4 murine dy, or the chimeric SMIP and Interceptor molecules, showed no internalization in the PSMA- DU-145 cell line (data not shown), but some internalization could be detected on the PSMA+ LNCaP (CRL-1740™, American Type Culture Collection) or C4-2 cell lines e 3). Internalization of the parental antibody was greater than the SMIP or Interceptor molecules at all concentrations tested. Apparent internalization from the (monovalent) Interceptor molecule was higher than from the (bivalent) SMIP molecule, which could be due to the higher potential binding stoichiometry - each Interceptor molecule can only engage one le of PSMA, whereas each SMIP molecule can engage two molecules of PSMA, potentially leading to twice as much Interceptor molecule lating on the cell surface. If both the Interceptor and SMIP les have similar levels of internalization, a higher apparent signal would always be seen from the eptor molecule.

E 6 Redirected T-cell cytotoxicity against PSMA(+) cell lines Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from human blood from two different donors ed as AG or W ) using standard ficoll gradients. The isolated cells were washed in saline buffer. T cells were additionally isolated using a Pan T-cell Isolation Kit II from Miltenyi Biotec (Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) using the manufacturer's protocol.

T cells were used with or without stimulation, as noted in the figures (see Figures 4-6), and added at a 10:1 ratio (T cell : target cell) unless indicated otherwise.

C4-2 castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cells were labeled with CellTracker™ Green cytoplasmic dye (Invitrogen, C7025) following cturer's protocol in order to distinguish them from T cells. Labeled C4-2 cells were seeded into poly-D-lysinecoated 96-well plates, as used in Example 3 , at 8000 cells per well in standard growth media, one day before on of T cells and Interceptor molecule. Ten ul of concentrated bispecific Interceptor molecule (TSC122, TSC200, TSC202, or TSC204) was added to 100 ul of media per well, plus 50 ul of T cells (80,000 cells) in standard growth media. Cell cultures were kept in C0 incubator at 37°C overnight. After 24 hr exposure to Interceptor molecule, cells were stained with 7-AAD and Hoechst dyes to enable quantitation of dead cells. Media was changed to 100 ul RPMI + 1% FBS + 10 ug/ml 7-AAD + Hoechst at 1:1000 dilution of stock, and incubated for an onal 30 minutes.

Imaging and quantitation was performed by use of an InCell Analyzer cope (GE), collecting data from 10 fields per well. The acquisition protocol was set to collect data with suitable filter sets for: a) nuclei detection via Hoechst stain, b) cell type discrimination via CellTracker™ Green detection, c) live/dead cell status determination via 7-AAD staining, and bright field images. Quantitation was performed by InCell Workstation software, using a decision tree application. Individual cells were ed by presence of nuclear stain by Hoechst. Threshold values of signal in the green channel (CellTracker™ Green) were used to split cells into C4-2 (positive) and T cell (negative) tions. Threshold values of signal in red channel (7-AAD) were used to split cells into dead ive) and live (negative) populations. ific Interceptor molecules featuring either the 107-1A4 murine scFv or humanized 107-1A4 scFv as well as an D3 scFv (Cris7) were tested for the ability to cross-link T-cells to target PSMA+ tumor cells and enable target-dependent cytotoxic T cell responses (so-called ected T cell cytotoxicity', or RTCC). Potent target-dependent xic activity over 24 hours was observed with the chimeric TSC122 Interceptor molecule (Figure 4) with T-cells from two different donors; roughly 60% of target cells were lysed by treatment with as little as 100 pM of TSC122 Interceptor le. No direct cytotoxicity on PSMA+ cells was observed in the absence of effector T-cells (Figure 4); no cytotoxicity was rly observed on PSMA- cells in the ce of effector T-cells (data not shown). The cytotoxic activity of humanized Interceptor molecules 0, TSC202, and TSC204) was also tested alongside the parent chimeric Interceptor molecule (TSC122) (Figure 5). Two of the humanized Interceptor les (TSC200, TSC204) showed lower RTCC activity than the parent; one humanized Interceptor molecule (TSC202) showed equal RTCC ty to the parent chimeric Interceptor molecule (TSC122) with similar, low pM potency. These results demonstrated that certain humanized Interceptor molecules had r T cell cytotoxicity as the parental chimeric eptor molecule.

The cytotoxic activity of zed SCORPION molecules (TSC1 94, TSC1 99, TSC212, TSC213), ed to that of the chimeric Interceptor molecule , was also examined (Figure 6). The humanized SCORPION molecules with anti-PSMA scFvs in the VL-VH orientation (TSC194, TSC199) had comparable cytotoxic ty to the bispecific chimeric Interceptor molecule (also with an scFv in the VL-VH orientation, and also including an anti-CD3 scFv (Cris7)). The humanized SCORPION molecules with anti-PSMA scFvs in the VH-VL orientation, on the other hand, had lower overall cytotoxicity.

EXAMPLE 7 : Target-dependent T-cell activation an proliferation induced against PSMA+ cell lines directed by bispecific 4-derived molecules To compare the effectiveness of different bispecific polypeptide molecules at inducing -dependent T-cell tion and proliferation, four different anti-PSMA and anti-CD3 bispecific molecules including TSC122 (a chimeric Interceptor molecule), TSC202 (humanized Interceptor molecule), TSC194 (a humanized SCORPION molecule), and TSC199 (a humanized SCORPION molecule) were compared.

C4-2 prostate cancer cells (PSMA+) were obtained from MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX) and cultured according to the provided protocol. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from human blood using standard ficoll gradients.

The isolated cells were washed in saline buffer. T cells were further isolated using a Pan T- ce Isolation Kit from i tenyi Biotec (Bergisch Giadbach, Germany) using the manufacturer's protocol.

Proliferation was ed by labeling isolated T cell populations with carboxyfiuorescein ate succinimidyl ester (CFSE), CFSE-iabeled T cells were plated i U-bottom 9 -we plates at 0 c !s/ el respectively, with 30,000 C4-2 tumor cells/well, to achieve T cell to tu or cell ratios of roughly 3:1 Concentrations of test molecules ranging from n to 0.1 were added to the cell mixtures in a total of 200 ui/well in RP v 1840 media supplemented with 0% human or bovine serum, sodium te and non-essential amino acids. P a s were incubated at 37°C, 5% C0 in humidified incubators. After 3 days, cells were labeled with antibodies for flow cytometric analysis. Cells were labeled and washed in their original plates to minimize cell losses during transfers, and all labeling was done in saline buffer with 0.2% bovine serum albumin.

First, cells were pre-incubated with 100 ug/ml human IgG at room temperature for 15 min.

Subsequently, cells were ted with a mixture (total volume 50 ul) of the following dyelabeled antibodies: CD5-PE, CD4-APC, CD8-Pacific Blue, CD25-PE-Cy7, as well as 7- Amino Actinomycin D (7AAD ter) for 40 min. Cells were washed twice, resuspended in 80 to 120 ul volumes, and measured immediately in a BD LSRII flow cytometer o e 80% of the contents of each well. The sample files were analyzed using FlowJo software to calculate the percentages and numbers of cells that had one at least one cell division, according to their CFSE profile, by gating sequentially on activated, live CD4+ or CD8+ T cells (7AAD-, CD5+ CD25+ CD4+ or 7AAD- CD5+ CD25+ CD8+, tively). Mean values and rd deviations were calculated using Microsoft Excel software. Graphs were d using Microsoft Excel or GraphPad Prism.

Analysis of live CD4+ and CD8+ populations from wells with C4-2 cells treated with T-cells (Figure 7A and Figure 7B) revealed a significant increase in both the total number of cells and percent erating cells in the presence of C4-2 cells displaying the target PSMA antigen. Proliferation was slightly higher for CD4+ T-cells than CD8+ T-cells, and the proliferation induced by the Interceptor molecules TSC122 and TSC202 ted at a higher level than the responses d by the SCORPION molecules TSC194 and TSC199. All les showed induction of T-cell proliferation at low concentrations (100 pM). No significant differences in relative induction of CD4+ versus CD8+ cell proliferation were apparent between molecules.

EXAMPLE 8 : Comftetitiv e binding studies of anti-PSMA molecules ms 107-1A4 binds a unique epitope on PSMA To show that anti-PSMA murine monoclonal antibody 107-1A4, chimeric 107-1A4 SMIP molecule (TSC085) and humanized 107-1A4 SMIP molecule (TSC189) binds a unique epitope on PSMA, which is not recognized by common literature antibodies (J415, J591), and that the conversion of murine monoclonal antibody Q7 4 to SMIP format did not result in a shift in that binding epitope, ition binding experiments were carried out.

Hybridomas ing the J591 , Hu591 (a humanized version of J591) and J415 antibodies were obtained from ATCC. Monoclonal antibodies were purified from hybridoma cell culture media by standard procedures. SM P molecules were produced by transient transfection of human 293 ce!fs, and purified from cell culture supernatants by Protein A ty chromatography. If aggregates were detected after affinity chromatography, secondary size exclusion chromatography was also performed to ensure homogeneity of the protein.

Competitive binding studies on the PSMA+ C4-2 prostate cancer cell line were performed by rd FACS-based staining procedures. To simplify binding measurements, molecules with human Fc domains were used to compete t molecules with murine Fc domains, and either an anti-human or anti-mouse antibody was used to detect g to the target cell line.

In a typical experiment, molecule X (binder) would be mixed with molecule Y (competitor), placed on ice, and then used to label 300,000 cells per well with 4 nM of molecule X and a range of 250 nM to 0.4 nM molecule Y in 100 ul of FACS buffer (PBS + 2% normal goat serum + 2% fetal bovine serum + 0.1% sodium azide) on ice, followed by washes and incubation with fluorescently-labeled secondary antibody specific for molecule X , either goat anti-human IgG ( 1 :400 dilution of Invitrogen 11013 = 5 ug/ml) or goat antimouse IgG ( 1 :400 dilution of Invitrogen 1017). After washing secondary antibody off ceils, cells were incubated with 7AAD (6 ul of BD ngen 7AAD, cat# 559925) to 100 ul of FACS Buffer) for 20 minutes. Signal from bound molecules was detected using a FACSCalibur flow cytometer and analyzed by FlowJo. 7A D+ cells were excluded from is. Nonlinear regression analysis to determine EC50s was performed in GraphPad Prism. itive binding studies e 8A) were used to see if the humanized J591 antibody, Hu591 , could compete with the binding of 107-1A4, J591 or J415 murine antibodies to cells. No competition was observed for the binding of 107-1A4, suggesting it binds a non-competitive epitope; ition was observed for the binding of both J591 and J415 antibodies, however. Next, onal binding studies were carried out to see if the three murine antibodies could compete with the binding of the chimeric 107-1A4 SMIP molecule TSC085 to cells (Figure 8B). Strong competition was seen from binding of the parental 107-1A4 antibody, ming that the SMIP molecule bound to the same epitope.

No ive competition was seen from the J591 or J415 murine antibodies. Last, binding studies were carried out to see if the three murine antibodies could compete with the binding of the humanized 107-1A4 SMIP molecule TSC189 to cells (Figure 8C). Again, similarly strong competition was seen from binding of the parental 107-1A4 antibody, but no ive competition was seen from the J591 or J415 murine antibodies. This confirms that 107-1A4 binds a unique epitope on PSMA. It also shows that any shift in behavior of 107-1A4-based SMIP and Interceptor molecules from that of the parental 107-1A4 antibody is not due to a shift in binding epitopes.
