Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9954359A1] The present invention relates to the design, manufacture and use of novel polypeptide bioactive factors. More particularly, the invention relates to the targeting of polypeptide bioactive factors to biological or chemical substrates via engineered amino acid motifs, while maintaining or extending the biological activities attributed to that polypeptide bioactive factor. The invention provides a recombinant polypeptide bioactive factor, referred to as a matrix binding factor (MBF), comprising a polypeptide bioactive factor in which the naturally-occurring amino acid sequence of the factor has been modified to introduce one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions and/or additions which increase the affinity of the polypeptide bioactive factor for a negatively-charged surface. Preferably the polypeptide bioactive factor is a growth factor which stimulates proliferation, differentiation, migration or cellular activity, and most preferably is a member of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family of growth factors. The invention also provides nucleic acid molecules encoding polypeptide bioactive factors of the invention, methods for production of the factors, and compositions and methods for use of the factors in treatment of a variety of pathological conditions, for use in tissue culture and for the preparation and use of surgical implants or prostheses.
