pharmacology | a recombinant ribonuclease-resistant dimeric variant of human pancreatic ribonuclease is generated which is specifically toxic to cancer cells. Combining dimerization of pancreatic ribonuclease-inhibitor-resistance results in providing potent anti-tumor activity to human pancreatic ribonuclease. The cytotoxic variants of human pancreatic ribonuclease will be useful in designing protein therapeutics with low immunogenicity | Homo sapiens |

K7A/N71A/E111A | ribonuclease inhibitor-resistant cytotoxic variant | Homo sapiens |
additional information | engineering of human pancreatic ribonuclease to develop two dimeric ribonuclease inhibitor-resistant molecules having anti-tumor activity. By incorporating two cysteines in human pancreatic ribonuclease and HPR-KNE (containing K7A/N71A/E111A mutations), a disulfide-linked dimeric pancreatic ribonuclease is generated, and a dimer of HPR-KNE, termed as HPR-D and HPR-KNE-D respectively. HPR-KNE-D is resistant towards inhibition by ribonuclease inhibitors, and is found to be highly toxic to a variety of cells. On J774A.1cells HPR-KNE-D is more than 375fold more cytotoxic than wild-type enzyme, and 15fold more toxic than HPR-D. Further,on U373 cells HPR-KNE-D is a more than 65fold more cytotoxic than HPR, and 9fold more toxic than HPR-D | Homo sapiens |
