Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel variants of anti-freeze polypeptides - i.e.
  • polypeptides comprising an ice-binding capability - resulting in an ice crystal formation and/or growth reducing or inhibiting activity. Methods for producing and using such variants of antifreeze proteins are also disclosed.
  • Anti-freeze polypeptides/proteins (AFP - in some publications also known as thermal hysteresis polypeptides, THP, or ice structuring polypeptides, ISP) lower the freezing point of a solution substantially while the predicted melting point is only moderately depressed. This means that whereas the freezing point is lowered dramatically, the melting point of the solution is predicted by the colligative melting point depression.
  • the displacement of the freezing temperature is limited and rapid ice growth will take place at a sufficiently low temperature.
  • the separation of the melting and freezing temperature is usually referred to as thermal hysteresis (TH) (Knight et al. 1991 , Raymond and DeVries 1977, Wilson 1993), and the temperature of ice growth is referred to as the hysteresis freezing point.
  • the difference between the melting point and the hysteresis freezing point is called the hystersis or the anti-freeze activity.
  • a second functionality of the AFPs is in the frozen state, where they show ice recrystallization inhibition (Rl). The AFPs inhibit the formation of large crystals at the expense of small crystals at temperatures above the temperature of recrystrallisation. (Knight et 1.1984, 1995, Knight and Duman 1986, Raml0v et al. 1996).
  • AFPs seem all to be amphiphilic. This means that they have one part which is more hydrophobic than the rest of the molecule. Hitherto the explanation for their activity is that their hydrophilic side binds to the ice crystal. However, this view has during the last decade been challenged as when looking at ice/water one can with good reason ask which is per definition most hydrophilic- ice or water.
  • Various evidence for the binding of the AFPs to the ice via their hydrophobic side/domains is emerging, but as the exact mechanism for the binding is not known all evidence so far has been circumstantial.
  • the hysteresis freezing point is thus the temperature where it again becomes energetically favourable for the water molecules to bind to the ice and ice growth continues explosively (Knight et al. 1991 , Raymond and DeVries 1977, Wlson 1993).
  • the thermal hysteresis is thus dependent on at least 2 parameters: 1) the type of antifreeze polypeptide (dependent on organism, isoform) and 2) the concentration, albeit that the concentration dependency shows saturation (DeVries 1983, Kao et al. 1985, Schrag et al. 1982).
  • the present invention relates to variants of anti-freeze proteins, their production method and different uses thereof.
  • the present invention is directed in one aspect to anti-freeze polypeptides and variants and fragments thereof, including variants of anti-freeze polypeptides produced by certain beetles - including Rhagium mordax and Rhagium Inquisitor - and comprising a plurality of ice-binding sites.
  • Methods for making and using such polypeptides are also within the scope of the present invention.
  • AFPs anti-freeze polypeptides
  • Anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention are surprisingly found to have a significantly lower number of cysteine residues than other insect AFPs presently known. This feature, together with the fact that the polypeptides according to the present invention have fewer repeated sequences than many state-of-the-art insect anti-freeze polypeptides, make them better candidates for expression in heterologous host organisms.
  • the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention have a variety of utilities and industrial applications as will be clear from the below disclosure.
  • the polypeptides, or genes encoding the polypeptides can be used in various ways to suppress ice crystal growth.
  • the polypeptides may be introduced directly, or they may be introduced as a gene which is expressed in a host cell under the control of a suitable expression signal to produce the polypeptide(s).
  • Suitable concentrations of anti-freeze polypeptides will vary depending on the use, but will typically be in the range of from about one part per billion to about one part per thousand (i.e., from about 1 ⁇ 9/ ⁇ to about 1 mg/l).
  • the polypeptides are introduced into edible products, or brought into contact with edible products, so as to reduce or inhibit ice crystal growth and/or formation e.g. during production and/or storage of the edible products in their frozen condition.
  • the polypeptides according to the present invention provides ice crystallisation that are markedly different than crystals obtained in the presence of other known anti-freeze polypeptides.
  • crystals with a small spheric structure are obtained while known anti-freeze polypeptides such as e.g. anti-freeze protein type III HPLC 12 mentioned in US 6,914,043 or the ice crystal growth inhibiting agent as mentioned in US 6,312,733 provides ice crystals with a spicular structure.
  • one major advantage of the present invention is that when the polypeptides according to the present invention are incorporated into e.g. ice cream an improved mouth feel is obtained due to the fact that the crystals formed in the ice cream during production and storage will have an essentially small spheric structure compared to the rough spicular crystals obtained when using known anti-freeze polypeptides of type III of herein above.
  • the texture, taste, and useful storage life of frozen edible products, including vegetables will be greatly improved as a result of the action of the polypeptides according to the present invention.
  • frozen vegetables such as e.g. celery, potatoes, asparagus, peas, carrots, beans, broccoli, sweet corn, spinach, and the like
  • the texture, taste and useful storage life of various frozen fruits will be enhanced, including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, citrus fruits, bananas, grapes, kiwis, peaches, pineapples, plums, cherries, tomatoes and mangoes.
  • the introduction into vegetables, and other edible products can be accomplished e.g. by genetic introduction of appropriate polynucleotides into the target organism.
  • polypeptides in one important aspect of the invention, are added to foods which are expected to be or remain frozen until, or even during, consumption - and in particular edible products which are consumed in a frozen or cold state.
  • frozen food products are intended to be consumed in the frozen or cold state, for example, ice cream, frozen yogurt, ice milk, sherbet, popsicles, frozen whipped cream, frozen cream pies, frozen puddings and the like.
  • texture and flavour are adversely affected by the formation of large ice crystals throughout a freeze-thaw cycle that occurs in most home frost-free freezers, or upon sustained storage in the frozen state.
  • This ice crystal growth process may be reduced or even prevented entirely, or at least minimized, by using the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention.
  • the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention may be either incorporated throughout the edible product, and/or they may, i.e. such as alternatively, be applied to the surface of the edible product, where condensation and ice crystal formation is expected to occur most readily.
  • yeasts including bakers yeast, comprising polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides according to the present invention.
  • Methods related to this aspect include methods for transform dough yeast with polynucleotides encoding these polypeptides. Upon incorporation and expression of the polynucleotides into the yeasts, and use of these yeasts e.g. in frozen dough, the dough will naturally leaven upon thawing because the yeast viability will remain high upon thawing.
  • An alternative way of incorporating anti-freeze polypeptides into frozen, fermented edible products is to have the organism responsible for the fermentation process produce the anti-freeze polypeptides while fermenting the food.
  • the present invention also embraces methods for preparing a frozen fermented food product.
  • This method comprises the steps of (a) contacting a food product with a microorganism that is capable of secreting a polypeptide according to the present invention, wherein the microorganism is capable of fermenting the food product to produce the fermented food product, (b) incubating the food product with the microorganism under conditions in which fermentation takes place so that a fermented food product is produced having anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention present in an amount effective for inhibiting ice crystal growth and/or formation in the product or on the surface of the product; and (c) freezing the fermented food product at a temperature of preferably below -5°C, so as to produce a frozen, fermented food product.
  • Yet another aspect of the present invention is directed to the introduction of anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention present into biological cells, or extracts thereof destined for frozen storage.
  • biological cells or extracts thereof destined for frozen storage.
  • bacterial cells, yeast cells, plant cells and animal cells comprising the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention present have an increased cell or tissue viability with minimal or no loss of inherent characteristics due to the freeze-thaw process.
  • Sub-cellular samples or cellular extracts may have similar sensitivities to freezing, especially on prolonged storage.
  • Typical examples will be in vitro polypeptide translation systems, enzyme preparations, and particularly samples which contain sensitive membrane components, such as chloroplast or mitochondrial membrane preparations.
  • samples containing organelles may display increased resistance to freezing damage upon addition of the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention present.
  • Soft animal tissues will exhibit less damage upon freezing in the presence of the subject polypeptides, and addition of the polypeptides according to the present invention present will be useful in situations, when cellular integrity upon freezing and subsequent thawing is important or desired, such as for tissue culture deposits.
  • samples destined for frozen storage such as for cell or tissue depositories, might routinely have the polypeptides according to the present added to them.
  • the biological cell types often stored are genetic variants of bacteria, fungi (including yeast), and, particularly, higher eucaryote cells (such as hybridoma strains and tissue culture cell lines).
  • the present invention in other aspects are directed to applications which are not specific to the food area.
  • One non-food application of the polypeptides according to the present invention present is the protection of crops and plants from climatic freezing conditions.
  • the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention present may be either internally incorporated into the cytoplasm by expression of an introduced gene, or the polypeptides may be externally applied to the plants - e.g. by spraying or otherwise. External application may thus be achieved either by direct application of the polypeptides to the plant, or by the external deposit onto the plant of an organism which secretes the polypeptide.
  • Another embodiment is the introduction of an anti-freeze polypeptide into a liquid surrounding an organ, tissue or other biological sample.
  • an anti-freeze polypeptide is introduced into a liquid surrounding an organ, tissue or other biological sample.
  • One particular use would be during transportation to a hospital for a transplantation operation or for storage purposes.
  • the anti-freeze polypeptide according to the present invention present should allow short- or long-term storage at a subfreezing temperature, thereby minimizing inherent metabolism or degradation, but with substantially diminished cellular damage from ice crystal growth.
  • Other medically important temperature sensitive biological samples are blood and blood products, therapeutic agents, polypeptide drugs, bioassay reagents and vaccines.
  • the present invention also provides a cosmetic or dermatological preparation which comprises the polypeptides according to the present invention.
  • the use of the polypeptides according to the present invention in cosmetic or topical dermatological preparations renders possible an effective treatment, but also a prophylaxis of structural and cellular damage in the skin due to cold, which damage with distinct climate- and weather-induced drops in temperature cause changes in the cell physiology in the cell and in the extracellular space through loss of the temperature optima of cellular enzymes, skin damage, skin redness and tight feeling of the skin and increased sensory sensitivities, induced, e.g., by cold, wind and/or UV light, temperature-sensitive skin, negative changes in the skin, the lips and the mucous membranes in the nose and mouth area and the integumentary appendage caused by environmental stress (caused by temperature changes and UV light, smoking, smog, reactive oxygen species, free radicals).
  • compositions and uses based on the mixture of anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention with state-of-the-art stabilizers, emulsifiers and surfactants well known to those skilled in the art and other additives. These compounds may be present to inhibit decay, inhibit oxidation, prevent discoloration, inhibit microbial growth, stabilize emulsions and so forth.
  • the present invention is directed in one aspect to polypeptides capable of inhibiting and/or reducing ice crystal formation associated with the freezing or supercooling of an object or substance, including an edible product.
  • Supercooling conditions are conditions allowing the cooling of a substance below the temperature at which a change of state would ordinarily take place (i.e. from a water phase to ice) without such a change of state occurring. Accordingly, the cooling of a liquid below its freezing point without freezing taking place constitutes supercooling and results in a metastable state.
  • polypeptides according to the present invention will interchangeably be denoted anti-freeze polypeptides or anti-freeze proteins and, for short, polypeptides, throughout the present description.
  • polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9 or variants or fragments thereof.

Field of invention
The present invention relates to novel variants of anti-freeze polypeptides - i.e.
polypeptides comprising an ice-binding capability - resulting in an ice crystal formation and/or growth reducing or inhibiting activity. Methods for producing and using such variants of antifreeze proteins are also disclosed.
Background of invention
Research on the mechanisms that allow certain organisms to exist at subzero temperatures has revealed that they rely on at least two strategies: Lowering of the freezing point of water (colligatively by synthesis of low molecular weight substances and non-colligatively via synthesis of unique polypeptides) by either inhibiting ice growth or by giving rise to controlled ice crystal formation. Anti-freeze polypeptides (AFPs) and low molecular weight substances, such as polyalcohols, free amino acids and sugars are believed to be responsible for the former process, while Ice Nucleating polypeptides (INPs) are responsible for the latter.
Anti-freeze polypeptides/proteins (AFP - in some publications also known as thermal hysteresis polypeptides, THP, or ice structuring polypeptides, ISP) lower the freezing point of a solution substantially while the predicted melting point is only moderately depressed. This means that whereas the freezing point is lowered dramatically, the melting point of the solution is predicted by the colligative melting point depression.
The displacement of the freezing temperature is limited and rapid ice growth will take place at a sufficiently low temperature. The separation of the melting and freezing temperature is usually referred to as thermal hysteresis (TH) (Knight et al. 1991 , Raymond and DeVries 1977, Wilson 1993), and the temperature of ice growth is referred to as the hysteresis freezing point. The difference between the melting point and the hysteresis freezing point is called the hystersis or the anti-freeze activity. A second functionality of the AFPs is in the frozen state, where they show ice recrystallization inhibition (Rl). The AFPs inhibit the formation of large crystals at the expense of small crystals at temperatures above the temperature of recrystrallisation. (Knight et 1.1984, 1995, Knight and Duman 1986, Raml0v et al. 1996).
Mechanism of inhibition of ice formation
The mechanism by which anti-freeze polypeptides inhibit ice growth is still under investigation. AFPs seem all to be amphiphilic. This means that they have one part which is more hydrophobic than the rest of the molecule. Hitherto the explanation for their activity is that their hydrophilic side binds to the ice crystal. However, this view has during the last decade been challenged as when looking at ice/water one can with good reason ask which is per definition most hydrophilic- ice or water. Various evidence for the binding of the AFPs to the ice via their hydrophobic side/domains is emerging, but as the exact mechanism for the binding is not known all evidence so far has been circumstantial.
However, consensus at this point in time is that the anti-freeze polypeptides recognize and bind to various ice surface planes, depending on the type (and isoform) of antifreeze polypeptide. Ice growth stops where the anti-freeze polypeptides are bound, but continues to a certain extent between the anti-freeze molecules (Raymond and DeVries 1977, DeLuca et al. 1998, Marshall et al. 2004).
When the curvature of the ice growing between the anti-freeze polypeptide molecules becomes sufficiently large (or curved), ice growth stops due to the increased surface tension of the curved surfaces (known as the Kelvin effect (Atkins and De Paula 2002, Wilson 1994, 2005, Kristiansen 2005)). It is now not energetically favourable for the water molecules to bind to the curved ice surfaces.
The hysteresis freezing point is thus the temperature where it again becomes energetically favourable for the water molecules to bind to the ice and ice growth continues explosively (Knight et al. 1991 , Raymond and DeVries 1977, Wlson 1993).
In most fish anti-freeze solutions, spicular ice growth is seen at the hysteresis freezing point. It is assumed that this is due to the fact that the fish anti-freeze polypeptides bind to the prismplanes on the ice crystals but not to the basal planes. Growth at the hysteresis freezing point is in this case due to binding (addition) of water molecules to the basal planes where growth at the prism planes is still inhibited, thus the ice crystals grow like long spears (spicules).
In solutions containing anti-freeze polypeptides from insects the growth pattern at the hysteresis freezing point is more random and it is suggested that the reason for this is that insect anti-freeze polypeptides also bind to the basal planes (also giving rise to the much higher anti-freeze activity observed in solutions from these animals) and growth thus occurs at spots at any place on the ice crystals once the temperature is low enough (the hysteresis freezing point).
When ice growth is occurring at the hysteresis freezing point in the presence of insect anti-freeze polypeptides the ice growth pattern is cauliflower like in stead of spicular. The thermal hysteresis is thus dependent on at least 2 parameters: 1) the type of antifreeze polypeptide (dependent on organism, isoform) and 2) the concentration, albeit that the concentration dependency shows saturation (DeVries 1983, Kao et al. 1985, Schrag et al. 1982).
Apparently, there is also a positive correlation between the size of the anti-freeze polypeptide molecules and the amount of hysteresis observed (Kao et al. 1985, Schrag et al. 1982, Wu et al. 2001). Apart from the above mentioned parameters determining the anti-freeze effect it is also substantiated that there is a reciprocal relationship between anti-freeze activity and ice crystal fraction (when the ice crystal is within the hysteresis gap). This effect is most noticeable in the case of insect anti-freeze polypeptides (Zachariassen et al. 2002).
The present invention relates to variants of anti-freeze proteins, their production method and different uses thereof.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed in one aspect to anti-freeze polypeptides and variants and fragments thereof, including variants of anti-freeze polypeptides produced by certain beetles - including Rhagium mordax and Rhagium Inquisitor - and comprising a plurality of ice-binding sites. Methods for making and using such polypeptides, as disclosed herein below in more detail, are also within the scope of the present invention.
The Cerambycid bark beetles Rhagium inquisitor and Rhagium mordax, both in their adult and larval stages, can be subjected to temperatures as low as -30°C and still overwinter under bark on tree stumps in northern Scandinavia. Both of these species belong to the group of cold tolerant animals called freeze avoiders, which means that they survive the extremely low temperatures without ice formation in their tissues. Accordingly, both R. inquisitor and R. mordax have adapted to the climatic conditions and they are able to survive at low temperatures for extended time periods. This makes the Cerambycid bark beetles interesting as a source for anti-freeze polypeptides (AFPs).
Anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention are surprisingly found to have a significantly lower number of cysteine residues than other insect AFPs presently known. This feature, together with the fact that the polypeptides according to the present invention have fewer repeated sequences than many state-of-the-art insect anti-freeze polypeptides, make them better candidates for expression in heterologous host organisms.
The anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention have a variety of utilities and industrial applications as will be clear from the below disclosure. The polypeptides, or genes encoding the polypeptides, can be used in various ways to suppress ice crystal growth. The polypeptides may be introduced directly, or they may be introduced as a gene which is expressed in a host cell under the control of a suitable expression signal to produce the polypeptide(s).
Suitable concentrations of anti-freeze polypeptides will vary depending on the use, but will typically be in the range of from about one part per billion to about one part per thousand (i.e., from about 1 μ9/Ι to about 1 mg/l).
In some aspects of the present invention, the polypeptides are introduced into edible products, or brought into contact with edible products, so as to reduce or inhibit ice crystal growth and/or formation e.g. during production and/or storage of the edible products in their frozen condition. It has surprisingly been found that the polypeptides according to the present invention provides ice crystallisation that are markedly different than crystals obtained in the presence of other known anti-freeze polypeptides. In particular it has been found that in the presence of the polypeptides according to the present invention crystals with a small spheric structure are obtained while known anti-freeze polypeptides such as e.g. anti-freeze protein type III HPLC 12 mentioned in US 6,914,043 or the ice crystal growth inhibiting agent as mentioned in US 6,312,733 provides ice crystals with a spicular structure.
Hence, one major advantage of the present invention is that when the polypeptides according to the present invention are incorporated into e.g. ice cream an improved mouth feel is obtained due to the fact that the crystals formed in the ice cream during production and storage will have an essentially small spheric structure compared to the rough spicular crystals obtained when using known anti-freeze polypeptides of type III of herein above.
The texture, taste, and useful storage life of frozen edible products, including vegetables, will be greatly improved as a result of the action of the polypeptides according to the present invention. For example, the texture, taste, and useful storage life of frozen vegetables, such as e.g. celery, potatoes, asparagus, peas, carrots, beans, broccoli, sweet corn, spinach, and the like, will be improved. Similarly, the texture, taste and useful storage life of various frozen fruits will be enhanced, including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, citrus fruits, bananas, grapes, kiwis, peaches, pineapples, plums, cherries, tomatoes and mangoes.
The introduction into vegetables, and other edible products, can be accomplished e.g. by genetic introduction of appropriate polynucleotides into the target organism.
Expression of a polynucleotide, either constitutively or inducibly, before food processing has begun, or after harvesting and processing has begun, results in sufficiently high levels of polypeptides according to the present invention to effectively protect the edible product, including a food product, such as up to about 0.1 % of total plant polypeptide by mass. Expression can also be on a tissue specific basis. For example, linkage to ripening genes in fruits may result in expression even after harvesting from the producing plant. The polypeptides, in one important aspect of the invention, are added to foods which are expected to be or remain frozen until, or even during, consumption - and in particular edible products which are consumed in a frozen or cold state.
Many frozen food products are intended to be consumed in the frozen or cold state, for example, ice cream, frozen yogurt, ice milk, sherbet, popsicles, frozen whipped cream, frozen cream pies, frozen puddings and the like. In particular, texture and flavour are adversely affected by the formation of large ice crystals throughout a freeze-thaw cycle that occurs in most home frost-free freezers, or upon sustained storage in the frozen state. This ice crystal growth process may be reduced or even prevented entirely, or at least minimized, by using the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention. The anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention may be either incorporated throughout the edible product, and/or they may, i.e. such as alternatively, be applied to the surface of the edible product, where condensation and ice crystal formation is expected to occur most readily.
Another important aspect of the present invention relates to yeasts, including bakers yeast, comprising polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides according to the present invention. Methods related to this aspect include methods for transform dough yeast with polynucleotides encoding these polypeptides. Upon incorporation and expression of the polynucleotides into the yeasts, and use of these yeasts e.g. in frozen dough, the dough will naturally leaven upon thawing because the yeast viability will remain high upon thawing. Because less damage accumulates from storage in the presence of these anti-freeze polypeptides and because thawed samples will have preserved a high viability of the yeast cells, either longer storage times in a frozen state will be possible, or smaller samples of dough will need to be stored.
An alternative way of incorporating anti-freeze polypeptides into frozen, fermented edible products is to have the organism responsible for the fermentation process produce the anti-freeze polypeptides while fermenting the food. Hence, the present invention also embraces methods for preparing a frozen fermented food product. This method comprises the steps of (a) contacting a food product with a microorganism that is capable of secreting a polypeptide according to the present invention, wherein the microorganism is capable of fermenting the food product to produce the fermented food product, (b) incubating the food product with the microorganism under conditions in which fermentation takes place so that a fermented food product is produced having anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention present in an amount effective for inhibiting ice crystal growth and/or formation in the product or on the surface of the product; and (c) freezing the fermented food product at a temperature of preferably below -5°C, so as to produce a frozen, fermented food product.
Yet another aspect of the present invention is directed to the introduction of anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention present into biological cells, or extracts thereof destined for frozen storage. For example, bacterial cells, yeast cells, plant cells and animal cells comprising the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention present have an increased cell or tissue viability with minimal or no loss of inherent characteristics due to the freeze-thaw process. Sub-cellular samples or cellular extracts may have similar sensitivities to freezing, especially on prolonged storage. Typical examples will be in vitro polypeptide translation systems, enzyme preparations, and particularly samples which contain sensitive membrane components, such as chloroplast or mitochondrial membrane preparations.
In particular, samples containing organelles may display increased resistance to freezing damage upon addition of the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention present. Soft animal tissues will exhibit less damage upon freezing in the presence of the subject polypeptides, and addition of the polypeptides according to the present invention present will be useful in situations, when cellular integrity upon freezing and subsequent thawing is important or desired, such as for tissue culture deposits. Thus, samples destined for frozen storage, such as for cell or tissue depositories, might routinely have the polypeptides according to the present invention present added to them. Among the biological cell types often stored are genetic variants of bacteria, fungi (including yeast), and, particularly, higher eucaryote cells (such as hybridoma strains and tissue culture cell lines).
The present invention in other aspects are directed to applications which are not specific to the food area. One non-food application of the polypeptides according to the present invention present is the protection of crops and plants from climatic freezing conditions. The anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention present may be either internally incorporated into the cytoplasm by expression of an introduced gene, or the polypeptides may be externally applied to the plants - e.g. by spraying or otherwise. External application may thus be achieved either by direct application of the polypeptides to the plant, or by the external deposit onto the plant of an organism which secretes the polypeptide. These same alternatives for introduction apply to other uses as well.
Another embodiment is the introduction of an anti-freeze polypeptide into a liquid surrounding an organ, tissue or other biological sample. One particular use would be during transportation to a hospital for a transplantation operation or for storage purposes. The anti-freeze polypeptide according to the present invention present should allow short- or long-term storage at a subfreezing temperature, thereby minimizing inherent metabolism or degradation, but with substantially diminished cellular damage from ice crystal growth. Other medically important temperature sensitive biological samples are blood and blood products, therapeutic agents, polypeptide drugs, bioassay reagents and vaccines.
The present invention also provides a cosmetic or dermatological preparation which comprises the polypeptides according to the present invention. The use of the polypeptides according to the present invention in cosmetic or topical dermatological preparations renders possible an effective treatment, but also a prophylaxis of structural and cellular damage in the skin due to cold, which damage with distinct climate- and weather-induced drops in temperature cause changes in the cell physiology in the cell and in the extracellular space through loss of the temperature optima of cellular enzymes, skin damage, skin redness and tight feeling of the skin and increased sensory sensitivities, induced, e.g., by cold, wind and/or UV light, temperature-sensitive skin, negative changes in the skin, the lips and the mucous membranes in the nose and mouth area and the integumentary appendage caused by environmental stress (caused by temperature changes and UV light, smoking, smog, reactive oxygen species, free radicals).
Also included in the present invention are compositions and uses based on the mixture of anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention with state-of-the-art stabilizers, emulsifiers and surfactants well known to those skilled in the art and other additives. These compounds may be present to inhibit decay, inhibit oxidation, prevent discoloration, inhibit microbial growth, stabilize emulsions and so forth.
As will be clear from the above, the present invention is directed in one aspect to polypeptides capable of inhibiting and/or reducing ice crystal formation associated with the freezing or supercooling of an object or substance, including an edible product. Supercooling conditions are conditions allowing the cooling of a substance below the temperature at which a change of state would ordinarily take place (i.e. from a water phase to ice) without such a change of state occurring. Accordingly, the cooling of a liquid below its freezing point without freezing taking place constitutes supercooling and results in a metastable state.
The polypeptides according to the present invention will interchangeably be denoted anti-freeze polypeptides or anti-freeze proteins and, for short, polypeptides, throughout the present description.
In one aspect there is provided a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9 or variants or fragments thereof.

There is also provided a composition comprising a plurality of identical or different polypeptides as defined herein above and a physiologically acceptable carrier. The composition can be a dried composition and the dried composition can be in freeze dried form or spray dried form.
In an even further aspect the present invention is directed to a polypeptide having an ice-binding activity and being capable of reducing or inhibiting the growth and/or formation of ice-crystals,
wherein the polypeptide comprises the sequence X X2- 3- 4- 5- 6- 7- 8- 9 (SEQ ID NO:10),
wherein X^ is selected from the group of amino acid residues consisting of S, A, G and
D;
X2 is selected from the group of amino acid residues consisting of A, V, I, T and S;
X3 is selected from the group of amino acid residues consisting of non-bulky amino acid residues;
X4 is selected from the group of amino acid residues consisting of S, I, T and V;
X5 is selected from the group of amino acid residues consisting of S, A, I and T;
X6 is selected from the group of amino acid residues consisting of S, T and V;
X7 is selected from the group of amino acid residues consisting of non-bulky amino acid residues;

The sequence X1-X2-X3-X4-X5-X6-X7-X8-X9 (SEQ ID NO: 10) will be referred to herein as a general "ice-binding domain". Whether or not said domain is directly involved in ice- binding or only indirectly involved in ice-binding (i.e. is required in order for the polypeptide to have an ice-binding activity) is immaterial to this definition.
The invention further relates to variants of polypeptides comprising a plurality of general "ice-binding domains", such as sequences having a substantial
homology/identity to SEQ ID NO: 10. A substantial homology to SEQ ID NO: 10 shall in this respect encompass any sequence, which differs from the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10 in only one or at the most two of the positions X^ X2, X3, Xt, X5, Xe ,X7, Xs and X9.
Plurality as used in this respect shall encompass the intergers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, such as less than 10, 1 1 , 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, for example less than 25, wherein any of said plurality of general "ice-binding domains" can be identical to or substantially identical to or substantially homologous to SEQ ID NO: 10.
The invention also relates to modifications and derivatives of the polypeptide according to the present invention comprising one or more copies of SEQ ID NO: 10 and optionally further comprising one or more copies of SEQ ID NO: 10, or sequences substantially identical or substantially homologous thereto.
The term "isolated polypeptide" clarifies that the polypeptide according to the present invention is at least essentially free from contaminating cellular components natively associated with the polypeptide.
The polypeptides according to the present invention can be expressed as fusion polypeptides. Such fusion polypeptides can serve many functions, such as aiding in purification and/or production of the polypeptide in an active conformation. One example of a fusion polypeptide is a polypeptide according to the present invention fused to an affinity tag. The fusion polypeptides can also form part of a
complement/anti-complement pair as defined herein, although this term is not limited exclusively to polypeptides. Modifications of the polypeptides, such as splice variants, allelic variants, orthologs and paralogs as defined herein are also within the scope of the present invention. Examples of fusions polypeptides are disclosed herein below in more detail.
The polypeptides according to the present invention can be labelled with a detactable label, for example a fluorescently detactable label. This can help the practitioner in isolating or identifying the polypeptides according to the present invention.
Also provided are polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides according to the present invention, polynucleotide constructs, such as vectors comprising said nucleotides in linear or circular form, host cells transformed with said polynucleotides or vectors comprising said nucleotides, and transgenic organisms comprising said host cells.
Polynucleotide is used interchangably with "nucleic acid" and "nucleic acid molecule" unless otherwise indicated. In principle the invention can make use of such a polynucleotide or a complement of such a polynucleotide, for example in the form of a cDNA or an "anti-sense oligonucleotide". The polynucleotide can be a degenerated sequence of individual nucleotides as long as the polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide according to the present invention.
The polynucleotide need not comprise all of the individual nucleotides of a native gene as isolated from a natural host organism. Any truncation of such as native gene, including sequences which are at least 75% homologous or identical, such as at least 80% homologous or identical, for example at least 85% homologous or identical, such as at least 90% homologous or identical, for example at least 91 % homologous or identical, such as at least 92% homologous or identical, for example at least 93% homologous or identical, such as at least 94% homologous or identical, for example at least 95% homologous or identical, such as at least 96% homologous or identical, for example at least 97% homologous or identical, such as at least 98% homologous or identical, for example at least 99% homologous or identical, such as at least 99.5% homologous or identical to the native gene shall be encompassed by the present invention. Any such functional truncation of a native gene, including any derivative or modification thereof capable of being expressed in a suitable host organism, shall be denoted a "structural gene".
Expression can be obtained e.g. when a polynucleotide sequence cloned in a cloning vector or expression vector is introduced into a host organism and expressed. The expression is suitably directed by a regulatory sequence typically comprising a promoter which may again comprising elements such as a core promoter and one or more regulatory elements, including an enhancer of expression. The host organism will typically be a recombinant host, i.e. a host not natively harbouring the polynucleotide sequence to be expressed, or not natively comprising the polynucleotide sequence to be expressed operably linked to the native expression signal. When preceded by a secretory signal sequence the polypeptide according to the present invention is destined for secretion - irrespective of whether such a secretion takes place or not.
For the sake of clarity a polynucleotide according to the present invention will be referred to as an "isolated" polynucleotide in order to distinguish the polynucleotide from the same or a related sequence in its native environment. Likewise, the term "heterologous polynucleotide" as defined herein signifies a polynucleotide or polynucleotide construct which differs from the native form of the polypeptide according to the present invention. The polynucleotides according to the present invention can be chromosomally integrated or episomal. The invention also provides antibodies, or binding fragments thereof, specific for the polypeptides according to the invention. The antibodies can be produced by any state- of-the-art method and the antibodies can be e.g. a naked antibody, a binding fragment of an antibody, an antibody component, an anti-idiotype antibody, a chimeric antibody and a humanized antibody.
Also provided with the scope of the present invention are methods for producing and using both a) polynucleotides according to the present invention, b) polypeptides according to the present invention, and c) antibodies according to the present invention specific for said polypeptides. The antibodies according to the present invention can be used for identifying or partitioning from a population of polypeptides a "target polypeptide" or "target peptide" as deined herein. The "target peptide" can be an antigenic peptide" as defined herein.
In a further aspect there is provided a solid support comprising the polypeptides and/or the antibodies according to the present invention as well as methods for making and using such a solid support.

Antifreeze proteins lower the freezing temperature of a solution noncolligatively by binding to ice crystals and inhibiting crystal growth, but the proteins alter the melting temperature of the solution only by colligative effects. This thermal hysteresis (the difference between freezing and melting temperatures) is determined by observing the effect of temperature on the growth of a single ice crystal. Melting occurs when faces of the ice crystal become round; freezing occurs when the ice crystal elongates along its c-axis. Hence, the term "anti-freeze activity" refers to the separation of the melting and freezing temperature. It also refers to the difference between melting point and the freezing point. It further refers to the inhibition of formation of large crystals at the expense of small crystals at temperatures above the temperature of recrystallisation. The term anti-freeze activity can be used interchangeably with thermal hysteresis.
As used herein, "nucleic acid" or "nucleic acid molecule" refers to polynucleotides, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA), oligonucleotides, fragments generated by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and fragments generated by any of ligation, scission, endonuclease action, and exonuclease action, polynucleotide molecules can be composed of monomers that are naturally-occurring nucleotides (such as DNA and RNA), or analogs of naturally-occurring nucleotides (e.g., (alpha- enantiomeric forms of naturally-occurring nucleotides), or a combination of both.
Modified nucleotides can have alterations in sugar moieties and/or in pyrimidine or purine base moieties. Sugar modifications include, for example, replacement of one or more hydroxyl groups with halogens, alkyl groups, amines, and azido groups, or sugars can be functionalized as ethers or esters. Moreover, the entire sugar moiety can be replaced with sterically and electronically similar structures, such as aza-sugars and carbocyclic sugar analogs. Examples of modifications in a base moiety include alkylated purines and pyrimidines, acylated purines or pyrimidines, or other well-known heterocyclic substitutes, polynucleotide monomers can be linked by phosphodiester bonds or analogs of such linkages. Analogs of phosphodiester linkages include phosphorothioate, phosphorodithioate, phosphoroselenoate, phosphorodiselenoate, phosphoroanilothioate, phosphoranilidate, phosphoramidate, and the like. The term "nucleic acid molecule" also includes so-called "peptide polynucleotides," which comprise naturally-occurring or modified polynucleotide bases attached to a polyamide backbone, polynucleotides can be either single stranded or double stranded.
The term "complement of a polynucleotide molecule" refers to a polynucleotide molecule having a complementary nucleotide sequence and reverse orientation as compared to a reference nucleotide sequence. For example, the sequence 5'
ATGCACGGG 3' is complementary to 5' CCCGTGCAT 3'.
The term "degenerate nucleotide sequence" denotes a sequence of nucleotides that includes one or more degenerate codons as compared to a reference polynucleotide molecule that encodes a polypeptide. Degenerate codons contain different triplets of nucleotides, but encode the same amino acid residue (i.e., GAU and GAC triplets each encode Asp). The term "structural gene" refers to a polynucleotide molecule that is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then translated into a sequence of amino acids characteristic of a specific polypeptide.
An "isolated polynucleotide molecule" is a polynucleotide molecule that is not integrated in the genomic DNA of an organism. For example, a DNA molecule that encodes a growth factor that has been separated from the genomic DNA of a cell is an isolated DNA molecule. Another example of an isolated polynucleotide molecule is a chemically-synthesized polynucleotide molecule that is not integrated in the genome of an organism. A polynucleotide molecule that has been isolated from a particular species is smaller than the complete DNA molecule of a chromosome from that species.
A "nucleic acid molecule construct" is a polynucleotide molecule, either single- or double-stranded, that has been modified through human intervention to contain segments of polynucleotide combined and juxtaposed in an arrangement not existing in nature.
"Linear DNA" denotes non-circular DNA molecules having free 5' and 3' ends. Linear DNA can be prepared from closed circular DNA molecules, such as plasmids, by enzymatic digestion or physical disruption. "Complementary DNA (cDNA)" is a single-stranded DNA molecule that is formed from an mRNA template by the enzyme reverse transcriptase. Typically, a primer complementary to portions of mRNA is employed for the initiation of reverse
transcription. Those skilled in the art also use the term "cDNA" to refer to a double- stranded DNA molecule consisting of such a single-stranded DNA molecule and its complementary DNA strand. The term "cDNA" also refers to a clone of a cDNA molecule synthesized from an RNA template. A "promoter" is a nucleotide sequence that directs the transcription of a structural gene. Typically, a promoter is located in the 5' non-coding region of a gene, proximal to the transcriptional start site of a structural gene. Sequence elements within promoters that function in the initiation of transcription are often characterized by consensus nucleotide sequences. These promoter elements include RNA polymerase binding sites, TATA sequences, CAAT sequences, differentiation-specific elements (DSEs; McGehee et al., Mol. Endocrinol. 7:551 (1993)), cyclic AMP response elements (CREs), serum response elements (SREs; Treisman, Seminars in Cancer Biol. 1 :47 (1990)), glucocorticoid response elements (GREs), and binding sites for other transcription factors, such as CRE/ATF (O'Reilly et al., J. Biol. Chem. 267:19938 (1992)), AP2 (Ye et al., J. Biol. Chem. 269:25728 (1994)), SP1 , cAMP response element binding polypeptide (CREB; Loeken, Gene Expr. 3:253 (1993)) and octamer factors (see, in general, Watson et al., eds., Molecular Biology of the Gene, 4th ed. (The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company, Inc. 1987), and Lemaigre and
Rousseau, Biochem. J. 303: 1 (1994)). If a promoter is an inducible promoter, then the rate of transcription increases in response to an inducing agent. In contrast, the rate of transcription is not regulated by an inducing agent if the promoter is a constitutive promoter. Repressible promoters are also known.
A "core promoter" contains essential nucleotide sequences for promoter function, including the TATA box and start of transcription. By this definition, a core promoter may or may not have detectable activity in the absence of specific sequences that may enhance the activity or confer tissue specific activity.
A "regulatory element" is a nucleotide sequence that modulates the activity of a core promoter. For example, a regulatory element may contain a nucleotide sequence that binds with cellular factors enabling transcription exclusively or preferentially in particular cells, tissues, or organelles. These types of regulatory elements are normally associated with genes that are expressed in a "cell-specific," "tissue-specific," or "organelle-specific" manner.
An "enhancer" is a type of regulatory element that can increase the efficiency of transcription, regardless of the distance or orientation of the enhancer relative to the start site of transcription. "Heterologous DNA" refers to a DNA molecule, or a population of DNA molecules, that does not exist naturally within a given host cell. DNA molecules heterologous to a particular host cell may contain DNA derived from the host cell species (i.e., endogenous DNA) so long as that host DNA is combined with non-host DNA (i.e., exogenous DNA). For example, a DNA molecule containing a non-host DNA segment encoding a polypeptide operably linked to a host DNA segment comprising a transcription promoter is considered to be a heterologous DNA molecule. Conversely, a heterologous DNA molecule can comprise an endogenous gene operably linked with an exogenous promoter. As another illustration, a DNA molecule comprising a gene derived from a wild-type cell is considered to be heterologous DNA if that DNA molecule is introduced into a mutant cell that lacks the wild-type gene.
A "polypeptide" is a polymer of amino acid residues preferably joined exclusively by peptide bonds, whether produced naturally or synthetically. A polypeptide produced by expression of a non-host DNA molecule is a "heterologous" peptide or polypeptide. An "amino acid residue" can be a natural or non-natural amino acid residue linked peptide bonds or bonds different from peptide bonds. The amino acid residues can be in D-configuration or L-configuration.
A "homopolymer" is a polypeptide which is built up by adding several similar polypeptides to an original polypeptide thereby creating multiple copies of the same polypeptide as one larger polypeptide.
A "heteropolymer" is a polypeptide which is built up by adding several different polypeptides to an original polypeptide thereby creating multiple copies of the different polypeptide as one larger polypeptide. A "non-bulky amino acid residue" is preferably a natural amino acid excluding amino acids having either a cyclic (aliphatic or aromatic) side chain, such as e.g. Pro, Phe, Trp, Tyr and His, or a long or branched aliphatic side chain, such as e.g. Arg, Lys, Leu, lie, Met and Val, or more generally, a bulky amino acid has a side chain having at least 3 carbons, which are linked and form a branched or unbranched side chain. Presently preferred examples of "non-bulky amino acids" comprise Gly, Ala and Ser.
A "polypeptide according to the present invention" is any polypeptide cited in the claims of the present patent application or the patent granted on the basis of claims of this patent application.
A "polynucleotide according to the present invention" or a "nucleic acid according to the present invention" is any polynucleotide encoding a "polypeptide according to the present invention", including any polypeptide cited in the claims of the present patent application or the patent granted on the basis of claims of this patent application.
An "integrated genetic element" is a segment of DNA that has been incorporated into a chromosome of a host cell after that element is introduced into the cell through human manipulation. Within the present invention, integrated genetic elements are most commonly derived from linearized plasmids that are introduced into the cells by electroporation or other techniques. Integrated genetic elements are passed from the original host cell to its progeny. A "cloning vector" is a polynucleotide molecule, such as a plasmid, cosmid, or bacteriophage, that has the capability of replicating autonomously in a host cell.
Cloning vectors typically contain one or a small number of restriction endonuclease recognition sites that allow insertion of a polynucleotide molecule in a determinable fashion without loss of an essential biological function of the vector, as well as nucleotide sequences encoding a marker gene that is suitable for use in the identification and selection of cells transformed with the cloning vector. Marker genes typically include genes that provide tetracycline resistance or ampicillin resistance.
An "expression vector" is a polynucleotide molecule encoding a gene that is expressed in a host cell. Typically, an expression vector comprises a transcription promoter, a gene, and a transcription terminator. Gene expression is usually placed under the control of a promoter, and such a gene is said to be "operably linked to" the promoter. Similarly, a regulatory element and a core promoter are operably linked if the regulatory element modulates the activity of the core promoter.
A "recombinant host" is a cell that contains a heterologous polynucleotide molecule, such as a cloning vector or expression vector.
"Integrative transformants" are recombinant host cells, in which heterologous DNA has become integrated into the genomic DNA of the cells.
A "fusion polypeptide" is a hybrid polypeptide expressed by a polynucleotide molecule comprising nucleotide sequences of at least two genes. For example, a fusion polypeptide can comprise at least part of a polypeptide according to the present invention fused with a polypeptide that binds an affinity matrix. Such a fusion polypeptide provides a means to isolate large quantities of a polypeptide according to the present invention using affinity chromatography.
The term "secretory signal sequence" denotes a DNA sequence that encodes a peptide (a "secretory peptide") that, as a component of a larger polypeptide, directs the larger polypeptide through a secretory pathway of a cell in which it is synthesized. The larger polypeptide is commonly cleaved to remove the secretory peptide during transit through the secretory pathway. An "isolated polypeptide" is a polypeptide that is essentially free from contaminating cellular components, such as carbohydrate, lipid, or other polypeptideaceous impurities associated with the polypeptide in nature. Typically, a preparation of isolated polypeptide contains the polypeptide in a highly purified form, i.e., at least about 80% pure, at least about 90% pure, at least about 95% pure, greater than 95% pure, or greater than 99% pure. One way to show that a particular polypeptide preparation contains an isolated polypeptide is by the appearance of a single band following sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the polypeptide preparation and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining of the gel. However, the term
"isolated" does not exclude the presence of the same polypeptide in alternative physical forms, such as dimers or alternatively glycosylated or derivatized forms. The terms "amino-terminal" and "carboxyl-terminal" are used herein to denote positions within polypeptides. Where the context allows, these terms are used with reference to a particular sequence or portion of a polypeptide to denote proximity or relative position. For example, a certain sequence positioned carboxyl-terminal to a reference sequence within a polypeptide is located proximal to the carboxyl terminus of the reference sequence, but is not necessarily at the carboxyl terminus of the complete polypeptide.
The term "expression" refers to the biosynthesis of a gene product. For example, in the case of a structural gene, expression involves transcription of the structural gene into mRNA and the translation of mRNA into one or more polypeptides.
The term "splice variant" is used herein to denote alternative forms of RNA transcribed from a gene. Splice variation arises naturally through use of alternative splicing sites within a transcribed RNA molecule, or less commonly between separately transcribed RNA molecules, and may result in several mRNAs transcribed from the same gene. Splice variants may encode polypeptides having altered amino acid sequence. The term splice variant is also used herein to denote a polypeptide encoded by a splice variant of an mRNA transcribed from a gene.
The term "complement/anti-complement pair" denotes non-identical moieties that form a non-covalently associated, stable pair under appropriate conditions. For instance, biotin and avidin (or streptavidin) are prototypical members of a complement/anti- complement pair. Other exemplary complement/anti-complement pairs include receptor/ligand pairs, antibody/antigen (or hapten or epitope) pairs, sense/antisense polynucleotide pairs, and the like. Where subsequent dissociation of the
complement/anti-complement pair is desirable, the complement/anti-complement pair preferably has a binding affinity of less than 109 M"1. An "anti-idiotype antibody" is an antibody that binds with the variable region domain of an immunoglobulin. In the present context, an anti-idiotype antibody binds with the variable region of an anti-antibody, and thus, an anti-idiotype antibody mimics an epitope of a polypeptide according to the present invention. An "antibody fragment" is a portion of an antibody such as F(ab')2, F(ab)2, Fab', Fab, and the like. Regardless of structure, an antibody fragment binds with the same antigen that is recognized by the intact antibody. For example, an anti-(polypeptide according to the present invention) monoclonal antibody fragment binds an epitope of a polypeptide according to the present invention.
The term "antibody fragment" also includes a synthetic or a genetically engineered polypeptide that binds to a specific antigen, such as polypeptides consisting of the light chain variable region, "Fv" fragments consisting of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, recombinant single chain polypeptide molecules in which light and heavy variable regions are connected by a peptide linker ("scFv polypeptides"), and minimal recognition units consisting of the amino acid residues that mimic the hypervariable region.
A "chimeric antibody" is a recombinant polypeptide that contains the variable domains and complementary determining regions derived from a rodent antibody, while the remainder of the antibody molecule is derived from a human antibody.
"Humanized antibodies" are recombinant polypeptides in which murine
complementarity determining regions of a monoclonal antibody have been transferred from heavy and light variable chains of the murine immunoglobulin into a human variable domain.
A "detectable label" is a molecule or atom which can be conjugated to an antibody moiety to produce a molecule useful for diagnosis. Examples of detectable labels include chelators, photoactive agents, radioisotopes, fluorescent agents, paramagnetic ions, or other marker moieties.
The term "affinity tag" is used herein to denote a polypeptide segment that can be attached to a second polypeptide to provide for purification or detection of the second polypeptide or provide sites for attachment of the second polypeptide to a substrate. In principal, any peptide or polypeptide for which an antibody or other specific binding agent is available can be used as an affinity tag. Affinity tags include a poly-histidine tract, polypeptide A (Nilsson et al., EMBO J. 4:1075 (1985); Nilsson et al., Methods Enzymol. 198:3 (1991)), glutathione S transferase (Smith and Johnson, Gene 67:31 (1988)), Glu-Glu affinity tag (Grussenmeyer et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:7952 (1985)), substance P, FLAG peptide (Hopp et al., Biotechnology 6: 1204 (1988)), streptavidin binding peptide, or other antigenic epitope or binding domain. See, in general, Ford et al., polypeptide Expression and Purification 2:95 (1991). DNAs encoding affinity tags are available from commercial suppliers (e.g., Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway, N.J.).
A "naked antibody" is an entire antibody, as opposed to an antibody fragment, which is not conjugated with a therapeutic agent. Naked antibodies include both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, as well as certain recombinant antibodies, such as chimeric and humanized antibodies.
As used herein, the term "antibody component" includes both an entire antibody and an antibody fragment. A "target polypeptide" or a "target peptide" is an amino acid sequence that comprises at least one epitope, and that is expressed on a target cell, such as a tumor cell, or a cell that carries an infectious agent antigen. T cells recognize peptide epitopes presented by a major histocompatibility complex molecule to a target polypeptide or target peptide and typically lyse the target cell or recruit other immune cells to the site of the target cell, thereby killing the target cell.
An "antigenic peptide" is a peptide, which will bind a major histocompatibility complex molecule to form an MHC- peptide complex which is recognized by a T cell, thereby inducing a cytotoxic lymphocyte response upon presentation to the T cell. Thus, antigenic peptides are capable of binding to an appropriate major histocompatibility complex molecule and inducing a cytotoxic T cells response, such as cell lysis or specific cytokine release against the target cell which binds or expresses the antigen. The antigenic peptide can be bound in the context of a class I or class II major histocompatibility complex molecule, on an antigen presenting cell or on a target cell.
In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase II catalyzes the transcription of a structural gene to produce mRNA. A polynucleotide molecule can be designed to contain an RNA polymerase II template in which the RNA transcript has a sequence that is
complementary to that of a specific mRNA. The RNA transcript is termed an "anti- sense RNA" and a polynucleotide molecule that encodes the anti-sense RNA is termed an "anti-sense gene." Anti-sense RNA molecules are capable of binding to mRNA molecules, resulting in an inhibition of mRNA translation.
An "anti-sense oligonucleotide specific for a polynucletide encoding a polypeptide according to the present invention" is an oligonucleotide having a sequence (a) capable of forming a stable triplex with a portion of a gene encoding a polypeptide according to the present invention, or (b) capable of forming a stable duplex with a portion of an mRNA transcript of such a gene. The term "variant" can refer to polynucleotide molecules that encode a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that is a modification of a polypeptide according to SEQ ID NO 1 to SEQ ID NO 9 or to a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that is a modification of a polypeptide according to SEQ ID NO 1 to SEQ ID NO 9. Such variants include naturally-occurring polymorphisms of genes according to the present invention, as well as synthetic genes that contain one or more amino acid substitutions such as one or more conservative amino acid substitutions of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO 1 to SEQ ID NO 9 or any fragment of SEQ ID NO 1 to SEQ ID NO 9. Additional variant forms of genes are polynucleotide molecules that contain insertions or deletions of the nucleotide sequences described herein. A variant gene according to the present invention can be identified by determining whether the gene hybridizes with a polynucleotide molecule having the nucleotide sequence of a polypeptide according to the present invention, or its complement, under stringent conditions.
Alternatively, variant genes or variant polypeptides can be identified by sequence comparison. Two amino acid sequences have "100% amino acid sequence identity" if the amino acid residues of the two amino acid sequences are the same when aligned for maximal correspondence. Similarly, two nucleotide sequences have "100% nucleotide sequence identity" if the nucleotide residues of the two nucleotide sequences are the same when aligned for maximal correspondence. Sequence comparisons can be performed using standard software programs such as those included in the LASERGENE bio informatics computing suite, which is produced by DNASTAR (Madison, Wis.). Other methods for comparing two nucleotide or amino acid sequences by determining optimal alignment are well-known to those of skill in the art (see, for example, Peruski and Peruski, The Internet and the New Biology: Tools for Genomic and Molecular Research (ASM Press, Inc. 1997), Wu et al. (eds.), "Information Superhighway and Computer Databases of polynucleotides and polypeptides," in Methods in Gene Biotechnology, pages 123 151 (CRC Press, Inc. 1997), and Bishop (ed.), Guide to Human Genome Computing, 2nd Edition (Academic Press, Inc. 1998)). Particular methods for determining sequence identity are described below.
Regardless of the particular method used to identify a variant gene, a variant gene encodes a polypeptide which can be characterized by its ability to bind specifically to an anti-(polypeptide according to the invention) antibody.
The term "allelic variant" is used herein to denote any of two or more alternative forms of a gene occupying the same chromosomal locus. Allelic variation arises naturally through mutation, and may result in phenotypic polymorphism within populations. Gene mutations can be silent (no change in the encoded polypeptide) or may encode polypeptides having altered amino acid sequence. The term allelic variant is also used herein to denote a polypeptide encoded by an allelic variant of a gene.
The term "ortholog" denotes a polypeptide or polypeptide obtained from one species that is the functional counterpart of a polypeptide or polypeptide from a different species. Sequence differences among orthologs are the result of speciation.
"Paralogs" are distinct but structurally related polypeptides made by an organism. Paralogs are believed to arise through gene duplication. For example, alpha-globin, beta-globin, and myoglobin are paralogs of each other.
Due to the imprecision of standard analytical methods, molecular weights and lengths of polymers are understood to be approximate values. When such a value is expressed as "about" X or "approximately" X, the stated value of X will be understood to be accurate to +/- 20%, such as +/- 10%, for example +/- 5%.
The term "intervening sequence" is defined as the DNA or protein sequence outside the Ice Binding Domains and/or outside the Ice Binding Sites. Detailed description of the invention

In one aspect the present invention also provides isolated polypeptides that have a substantially similar sequence identity to the polypeptides according to the present invention, such as any of SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9, or their orthologs. The term "substantially similar sequence identity" is in one embodiment used herein to denote polypeptides having at least 70%, such as at least 72%, for example at least 74%, such as at least 76%, for example at least 78%, such as at least 80%, for example at least 82%, such as at least 84%, for example at least 86%, such as at least 88%, for example at least 90%, such as at least 91 %, for example at least 92%, such as at least 93%, for example at least 94%, such as at least 95%, for example at least 96%, such as at least 97%, for example at least 98%, such as at least 99%, or greater than 99% sequence identity to any of the sequences SEQ ID NO:1 to SEQ ID NO:9, or their orthologs.
The present invention also contemplates variant polynucleotide molecules that can be identified using two criteria: a) a determination of the identity or similarity between a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of any of the sequences SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9, cf above, and b) a hybridization assay carried out under stringent conditions. For example, certain gene variants comprise polynucleotides that remain hybridized with a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide according to the present invention, such as any of the sequences SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9, or a complement of such a polynucleotide, following washing under stringent washing conditions, in which the wash stringency is equivalent to 0.5 X to 2 X SSC with 0.1 % SDS at 55 °C to 65°C. Alternatively, variant genes can be characterized as
polynucleotide molecules that remain hybridized with a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide according to the present invention, such as any of the sequences SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9, or a complement of such a polynucleotide, following washing under stringent washing conditions, in which the wash stringency is equivalent to 0.1 X to 0.2 X SSC with 0.1 % SDS at 55 °C to 65°C.
Percent sequence identity is determined by conventional methods. See, for example, Altschul et al., Bull. Math. Bio. 48:603 (1986), and Henikoff and Henikoff, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:10915 (1992). Briefly, two amino acid sequences are aligned to optimize the alignment scores using a gap opening penalty of 10, a gap extension penalty of 1 , and the "BLOSUM62" scoring matrix of Henikoff and Henikoff (ibid.). The percent identity is then calculated as: ([Total number of identical matches]/[length of the longer sequence plus the number of gaps introduced into the longer sequence in order to align the two sequences]) x (100). Those skilled in the art appreciate that there are many established algorithms available to align two amino acid sequences. The "FASTA" similarity search algorithm of Pearson and Lipman is a suitable polypeptide alignment method for examining the level of identity shared by an amino acid sequence disclosed herein and the amino acid sequence of a putative or variant. The FASTA algorithm is described by Pearson and Lipman, Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (1988), and by Pearson, Meth. Enzymol. 183:63 (1990).
Briefly, FASTA first characterizes sequence similarity by identifying regions shared by the query sequence (e.g., any of the sequences SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9) and a test sequence that have either the highest density of identities (if the ktup variable is 1) or pairs of identities (if ktup=2), without considering conservative amino acid substitutions, insertions, or deletions. The ten regions with the highest density of identities are then rescored by comparing the similarity of all paired amino acids using an amino acid substitution matrix, and the ends of the regions are "trimmed" to include only those residues that contribute to the highest score. If there are several regions with scores greater than the "cutoff" value (calculated by a predetermined formula based upon the length of the sequence and the ktup value), then the trimmed initial regions are examined to determine whether the regions can be joined to form an approximate alignment with gaps. Finally, the highest scoring regions of the two amino acid sequences are aligned using a modification of the Needleman-Wunsch-Sellers algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:444 (1970); Sellers, SIAM J. Appl. Math. 26:787 (1974)), which allows for amino acid insertions and deletions. Preferred parameters for FASTA analysis are: ktup=1 , gap opening penalty=10, gap extension penalty=1 , and substitution matrix=BLOSUM62. These parameters can be introduced into a FASTA program by modifying the scoring matrix file ("SMATRIX"), as explained in Appendix 2 of Pearson, Meth. Enzymol. 183:63 (1990).
FASTA can also be used to determine the sequence identity of polynucleotide molecules using a ratio as disclosed above. For nucleotide sequence comparisons, the ktup value can range between one to six, preferably from three to six, and most preferably, three. The other parameters can be set as: gap opening penalty=10, and gap extension penalty=1. Substitution of amino acid residues in polypeptides according to the present invention The present invention is also directed to polypeptides having one or more conservative amino acid substitution(s) and polynucleotides encoding polypeptides having one or more conservative amino acid substitution(s), as compared with the amino acid sequence of any of the sequences SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9. That is, variants can be obtained that contain one or more amino acid substitutions of any of the sequences SEQ ID NO:1 to SEQ ID NO:9. Variants include sequences wherein an alkyl amino acid is substituted for an alkyl amino acid, wherein an aromatic amino acid is substituted for an aromatic amino acid, wherein a sulfur-containing amino acid is substituted for a sulfur-containing amino acid in, wherein a hydroxy-containing amino acid is substituted for a hydroxy-containing amino acid, wherein an acidic amino acid is substituted for an acidic amino acid, wherien a basic amino acid is substituted for a basic amino acid, or wherein a dibasic monocarboxylic amino acid is substituted for a dibasic monocarboxylic amino acid.
Among the common amino acids, for example, a "conservative amino acid substitution" can also be illustrated by a substitution among amino acids within each of the following groups: (1 ) glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine, (2) phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, (3) serine and threonine, (4) aspartate and glutamate, (5) glutamine and asparagine, and (6) lysine, arginine and histidine.
The BLOSUM62 table is an amino acid substitution matrix derived from about 2,000 local multiple alignments of polypeptide sequence segments, representing highly conserved regions of more than 500 groups of related polypeptides (Henikoff and Henikoff, Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 89:10915 (1992)). Accordingly, the BLOSUM62 substitution frequencies can be used to define conservative amino acid substitutions that may be introduced into the amino acid sequences of the present invention.
Although it is possible to design amino acid substitutions based solely upon chemical properties (as discussed above), the language "conservative amino acid substitution" preferably refers to a substitution represented by a BLOSUM62 value of greater than - 1. For example, an amino acid substitution is conservative if the substitution is characterized by a BLOSUM62 value of 0, 1 , 2, or 3. According to this system, preferred conservative amino acid substitutions are characterized by a BLOSUM62 value of at least 1 (e.g., 1 , 2 or 3), while more preferred conservative amino acid substitutions are characterized by a BLOSUM62 value of at least 2 (e.g., 2 or 3). Particular variants of polypeptides are characterized by having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95% or greater than 95% sequence identity to a corresponding amino acid sequence disclosed herein (i.e., any of the sequences SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9), e.g. when the variation in amino acid sequence is due to one or more conservative amino acid substitutions.
Variants of amino acid sequences, such as "conservative amino acid" variants, can be obtained, for example, by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, linker-scanning mutagenesis, mutagenesis using the polymerase chain reaction, and the like (see
Ausubel (1995) at pages 8 10 to 8 22; and McPherson (ed.), Directed Mutagenesis: A Practical Approach (IRL Press 1991)).
The polypeptides according to the present invention can also comprise non-naturally occurring amino acid residues. Non-naturally occurring amino acids include e.g., without limitation, trans-3-methylproline, 2,4-methanoproline, cis-4-hydroxyproline, trans-4-hydroxyproline, N-methylglycine, allo-threonine, methylthreonine,
hydroxyethylcysteine, hydroxyethylhomocysteine, nitroglutamnine, homoglutamine, pipecolic acid, thiazolidine carboxylic acid, dehydroproline, 3- and 4-methylproline, 3,3- dimethylproline, tert-leucine, norvaline, 2-azaphenylalanine, 3-azaphenylalanine, 4- azaphenylalanine, and 4-fluorophenylalanine.
Several methods are known in the art for incorporating non-naturally occurring amino acid residues into polypeptides. For example, an in vitro system can be employed wherein nonsense mutations are suppressed using chemically aminoacylated suppressor tRNAs. Methods for synthesizing amino acids and aminoacylating tRNA are known in the art. Transcription and translation of plasmids containing nonsense mutations is typically carried out in a cell-free system comprising an E. coli S30 extract and commercially available enzymes and other reagents, polypeptides are purified by chromatography. See, for example, Robertson et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 113:2722 (1991 ), Ellman et al., Methods Enzymol. 202:301 (1991), Chung et al., Science 259:806 (1993), and Chung et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 90: 10145 (1993).
Multiple amino acid substitutions can be made and tested using known methods of mutagenesis and screening, such as those disclosed by Reidhaar-Olson and Sauer (Science 241 :53 (1988)) or Bowie and Sauer (Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 86:2152 (1989)). Briefly, these authors disclose methods for simultaneously randomizing two or more positions in a polypeptide, selecting for functional polypeptide, and then sequencing the mutagenized polypeptides to determine the spectrum of allowable substitutions at each position. Other methods that can be used include phage display (e.g., Lowman et al., Biochem. 30: 10832 (1991), Ladner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,223,409, Huse, international publication No. WO 92/06204, and region-directed mutagenesis (Derbyshire et al., Gene 46: 145 (1986), and Ner et al., DNA 7: 127, (1988)). Variants of the disclosed nucleotide and polypeptide sequences according to the present invention can also be generated through DNA shuffling as disclosed by
Stemmer, Nature 370:389 (1994), Stemmer, Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 91 : 10747 (1994), and international publication No. WO 97/20078. Briefly, variant DNA molecules are generated by in vitro homologous recombination by random fragmentation of a parent DNA followed by reassembly using PCR, resulting in randomly introduced point mutations. This technique can be modified by using a family of parent DNA molecules, such as allelic variants or DNA molecules from different species, to introduce additional variability into the process. Selection or screening for the desired activity, followed by additional iterations of mutagenesis and assay provides for rapid "evolution" of sequences by selecting for desirable mutations while simultaneously selecting against detrimental changes.
Mutagenesis methods as disclosed herein can be combined with high-throughput, automated screening methods to detect activity of cloned, mutagenized polypeptides in host cells. Mutagenized DNA molecules that encode biologically active polypeptides, or polypeptides that bind specific antibodies, can be recovered from the host cells and rapidly sequenced using modern equipment. These methods allow the rapid
determination of the importance of individual amino acid residues in a polypeptide of interest, and can be applied to polypeptides of unknown structure.
Fragments of polypeptides according to the present invention
The present invention also includes "functional fragments" of polypeptides and polynucleotide molecules according to the present invention encoding such functional fragments. Routine deletion analyses of polynucleotide molecules can be performed to obtain functional fragments of a polynucleotide molecule that encodes a polypeptide according to the present invention. As an illustration, DNA molecules encoding any of the sequences SEQ ID NO:1 to SEQ ID NO:9 can be digested with Bal31 nuclease to obtain a series of nested deletions. The fragments are then inserted into expression vectors in proper reading frame, and the expressed polypeptides are isolated and tested for the ability to bind specifically to anti-antibodies. One alternative to
exonuclease digestion is to use oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis to introduce deletions or stop codons to specify production of a desired fragment. Alternatively, particular fragments of a gene according to the present inventon can be synthesized using the polymerase chain reaction.
The following fragment:
GSYSCRAVGVDASTVTDVQGTCHAKATGPGAVASGTSVDGSTSTATATGSC
originates from the full length sequences SEQ ID NO 1 , SEQ ID NO 2, SEQ NO 7 and SEQID NO 8 and contains the alternative residues C in the C-terminal end and GS in the N-terminal end.
Methods for identifying functional domains are well-known to those of skill in the art. For example, studies on the truncation at either or both termini of interferons have been summarized by Horisberger and Di Marco, Pharmac. Ther. 66:507 (1995). Moreover, standard techniques for functional analysis of polypeptides are described by, for example, Treuter et al., Molec. Gen. Genet. 240: 113 (1993), Content et al., "Expression and preliminary deletion analysis of the 42 kDa 2 5A synthetase induced by human interferon," in Biological Interferon Systems, Proceedings of ISIR-TNO Meeting on Interferon Systems, Cantell (ed.), pages 65 72 (Nijhoff 1987), Herschman, "The EGF Receptor," in Control of Animal Cell Proliferation, Vol. 1 , Boynton et al., (eds.) pages 169 199 (Academic Press 1985), Coumailleau et al., J. Biol. Chem. 270:29270 (1995); Fukunaga et al., J. Biol. Chem. 270:25291 (1995); Yamaguchi et al., Biochem.
Pharmacol. 50: 1295 (1995), and Meisel et al., Plant Molec. Biol. 30: 1 (1996). The present invention also contemplates functional fragments of a polypeptide according to the present inventon that have amino acid changes, compared with the amino acid sequence of any of the sequences SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9. A variant polypeptide can be identified on the basis of structure by determining the level of identity with a particular amino acid sequence disclosed herein. An alternative approach to identifying a variant polypeptide on the basis of structure is to determine whether a polynucleotide molecule encoding a potential variant polypeptide can hybridize to a polynucleotide molecule having the nucleotide sequence of any of the sequences SEQ ID NO:1 to SEQ ID NO:9, as discussed above. The present invention also provides polypeptide fragments or peptides comprising an epitope-bearing portion of a polypeptide according to the present inventon as described herein. Such fragments or peptides may comprise an "immunogenic epitope," which is a part of a polypeptide that elicits an antibody response when the entire polypeptide is used as an immunogen. Immunogenic epitope-bearing peptides can be identified using standard methods (see, for example, Geysen et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 81 :3998 (1983)).
In contrast, polypeptide fragments or peptides may comprise an "antigenic epitope," which is a region of a polypeptide molecule to which an antibody can specifically bind. Certain epitopes consist of a linear or contiguous stretch of amino acids, and the antigenicity of such an epitope is not disrupted by denaturing agents. It is known in the art that relatively short synthetic peptides that can mimic epitopes of a polypeptide can be used to stimulate the production of antibodies against the polypeptide (see, for example, Sutcliffe et al., Science 219:660 (1983)). Accordingly, antigenic epitope- bearing peptides and polypeptides of the present invention are useful to raise antibodies that bind with the polypeptides described herein.
Antigenic epitope-bearing peptides and polypeptides can contain at least four to ten amino acids, such as at least ten to fifteen amino acids, for example about 15 to about 30 amino acids of any of the sequences SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9. Such epitope- bearing peptides and polypeptides can be produced by fragmenting a polypeptide according to the present inventon, or by chemical peptide synthesis, as described herein. Moreover, epitopes can be selected by phage display of random peptide libraries (see, for example, Lane and Stephen, Curr. Opin. Immunol. 5:268 (1993), and Cortese et al., Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 7:616 (1996)). Standard methods for identifying epitopes and producing antibodies from small peptides that comprise an epitope are described, for example, by Mole, "Epitope Mapping," in Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 10, Manson (ed.), pages 105 116 (The Humana Press, Inc. 1992), Price,
"Production and Characterization of Synthetic Peptide-Derived Antibodies," in
Monoclonal Antibodies: Production, Engineering, and Clinical Application, Ritter and Ladyman (eds.), pages 60 84 (Cambridge University Press 1995), and Coligan et al. (eds.), Current Protocols in Immunology, pages 9.3.1 9.3.5 and pages 9.4.1 9.4.11 (John Wiley & Sons 1997). Regardless of the particular nucleotide sequence of a variant gene according to the present inventon, the gene encodes a polypeptide that may be characterized by its ability to bind specifically to an antibody capable of specifically binding to any of the sequences SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:9. Fusion polypeptides comprising anti-freeze polypeptides or ice binding sites or ice binding domains according to the invention
The present invention also includes anti-freeze fusion polypeptides. Anti-freeze fusion polypeptides of the present invention may be targeted to a particular cellular compartment or to the extracellular space, to a particular cell or to particular cell types. By attachment of polypeptide segments which specify or determine targeting to cellular compartments, the anti-freeze segments may be targeted to a particular cellular organelle. Not only will the peptide be directed to the organelle, but the anti-freeze function may remain functional even when surrounded by other polypeptide segments. By fusion to antibodies or other molecules having cell specificity in binding, the resistance to cellular damage upon freezing can be conferred to those cell types. This technique will also find use in organs. Examples of polypeptides to which the polypeptide according to the present invention can be bound are listed below:

Luciferase Detectability by light emmision
Fusion polypeptides comprising polypeptides according to the present invention can thus be used to express a polypeptide according to the present invention in a recombinant host, and to isolate expressed polypeptides. One type of fusion polypeptide comprises a peptide that guides a polypeptide according to the present invention from a recombinant host cell. To direct a polypeptide according to the present invention into the secretory pathway of a eukaryotic host cell, a secretory signal sequence (also known as a signal peptide, a leader sequence, prepro sequence or pre sequence) is provided in a suitable expression vector. While the secretory signal sequence may be derived from a polypeptide according to the present invention, a suitable signal sequence may also be derived from another secreted polypeptide or synthesized de novo. The secretory signal sequence is operably linked to a gene encoding sequence according to the present invention such that 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 nucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide of interest, although certain secretory signal sequences may be positioned elsewhere in the nucleotide sequence of interest (see, e.g., Welch et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,037,743; Holland et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5, 143,830).
Although the secretory signal sequence of a gene according to the present invention, or another polypeptide produced by mammalian cells (e.g., tissue-type plasminogen activator signal sequence, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,641 ,655) is useful for expression of a gene according to the present invention in recombinant mammalian hosts, a yeast signal sequence is preferred for expression in yeast cells. Examples of suitable yeast signal sequences are those derived from yeast mating phermone alpha-factor (encoded by the MF-alpha1 gene), invertase (encoded by the SUC2 gene), or acid phosphatase (encoded by the PH05 gene). See, for example, Romanos et al., "Expression of Cloned Genes in Yeast," in DNA Cloning 2: A Practical Approach, 2.sup.nd Edition, Glover and Hames (eds.), pages 123 167 (Oxford
University Press 1995).
In bacterial cells, it is often desirable to express a heterologous polypeptide as a fusion polypeptide to decrease toxicity, increase stability, and to enhance recovery of the expressed polypeptide. For example, a gene according to the present invention can be expressed as a fusion polypeptide comprising a glutathione S-transferase polypeptide. Glutathione S-transferease fusion polypeptides are typically soluble, and easily purifiable from E. coli lysates on immobilized glutathione columns. In similar approaches, a fusion polypeptide according to the present invention comprising a maltose binding polypeptide polypeptide can be isolated with an amylose resin column, while a fusion polypeptide comprising the C-terminal end of a truncated polypeptide A gene can be purified using IgG-Sepharose. Established techniques for expressing a heterologous polypeptide as a fusion polypeptide in a bacterial cell are described, for example, by Williams et al., "Expression of Foreign polypeptides in E. coli Using Plasmid Vectors and Purification of Specific Polyclonal Antibodies," in DNA Cloning 2: A Practical Approach, 2.sup.nd Edition, Glover and Hames (Eds.), pages 15 58 (Oxford University Press 1995). In addition, commercially available expression systems are available. For example, the PINPOINT Xa polypeptide purification system (Promega Corporation; Madison, Wis.) provides a method for isolating a fusion polypeptide comprising a polypeptide that becomes biotinylated during expression with a resin that comprises avidin.
Peptide tags that are useful for isolating heterologous polypeptides expressed by either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells include polyHistidine tags (which have an affinity for nickel-chelating resin), c-myc tags, calmodulin binding polypeptide (isolated with calmodulin affinity chromatography), substance P, the RYIRS tag (which binds with anti-RYIRS antibodies), the Glu-Glu tag, and the FLAG tag (which binds with anti- FLAG antibodies). See, for example, Luo et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 329:215 (1996), Morganti et al., Biotechnol. Appl. Biochem. 23:67 (1996), and Zheng et al., Gene 186:55 (1997). polynucleotide molecules encoding such peptide tags are available, for example, from Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (St. Louis, Mo.).
Another form of fusion polypeptide comprises a polypeptide according to the present invention and an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region, typically an Fc fragment, which contains two constant region domains and a hinge region but lacks the variable region. As an illustration, Chang et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,723, 125, describe a fusion polypeptide comprising a human interferon and a human immunoglobulin Fc fragment. The C-terminal of the interferon is linked to the N-terminal of the Fc fragment by a peptide linker moiety. An example of a peptide linker is a peptide comprising primarily a T cell inert sequence, which is immunologically inert. An exemplary peptide linker has the amino acid sequence: GGSGG SGGGG SGGGG S. In this fusion polypeptide, a preferred Fc moiety is a human gamma4 chain, which is stable in solution and has little or no complement activating activity. Accordingly, the present invention contemplates a fusion polypeptide that comprises a polypeptide according to the present invention, or a fragment thereof, and a human Fc fragment, wherein the C-terminus of the polypeptide according to the present invention, or a fragment thereof, is attached to the N-terminus of the Fc fragment via a peptide linker.
In another variation, a fusion polypeptide comprising a polypeptide according to the present invention further comprises an IgG sequence. The polypeptide moiety according to the present invention is covalently joined to the amino terminal end of the IgG sequence, and a signal peptide that is covalently joined to the amino terminal of the polypeptide moiety according to the present invention, wherein the IgG seguence comprises or consists of the following elements in the following order: a hinge region, a CH2 domain, and a CH3 domain. Accordingly, the IgG sequence lacks a C ^ domain. The polypeptide moiety according to the present invention displays an ice-binding activity. The above, general approaches for producing fusion polypeptides that comprise both antibody and nonantibody portions has been described by LaRochelle et al. , EP 742830 (WO 95/21258).
Fusion polypeptides can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art by preparing each component of the fusion polypeptide and chemically conjugating them. Alternatively, a polynucleotide encoding both components of the fusion polypeptide in the proper reading frame can be generated using known techniques and expressed by the methods described herein. General methods for enzymatic and chemical cleavage of fusion polypeptides are described, for example, by Ausubel (1995) at pages 16 19 to 16 25.
General Methods for the production of polypeptides and fragments thereof according to the present invention
Synthesis of anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention may be pursued in two forms, either biological or synthetic. The biological method is by expression of polypeptide coding sequence or gene; the synthetic method is by chemical synthesis of a polypeptide.
A preferred synthetic method utilizes solid phase peptide synthesis, such as that developed by Merrifield (J. Am. Chem. Soc, (1963) 85:2149-2156). This method will be particularly useful in testing particular compositions or formulations for anti-freeze activity.
For large scale production, the biological expression would typically be preferred. The encoding polynucleotide or gene can be a natural gene with recombinant modifications or a totally synthetic sequence that will be expressed in an appropriate expression system. The methods utilized for insertion of a natural sequence segment into an appropriate vector are well known to persons of ordinary skill in the art, see Maniatis or Wu, et al. (1987) Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 153, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. Synthetic sequences can be synthesized by the phosphoramidite chemistry to make particular sections of the sequence (Beaucage and Carruthers, (1981) Tet. Letters, 22: 1859-1862). Overlapping segments can be synthesized and then ligated together to produce a larger gene.
Finally, by selecting particular sequences for the anti-freeze segments, restriction enzyme cutting sites may be introduced which will provide convenient segments which may be easily linked together or inserted to generate tandem repeats, as will be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art.
Purification of the anti-freeze polypeptides will be by methods known to a person of ordinary skill in the art of polypeptide purification. Standard purification techniques may be from either cell lysates or culture medium if the polypeptides are secreted. Typical methods are column chromatography, ammonium sulfate salt precipitations, antibody affinity column chromatography and others. With naturally occurring polypeptides (e.g., produced in fish), a preferred method of purification is as described by DeVries et al. (1977) Biochem Biophys. Acta 495:388-392.
Preferably, the anti-freeze polypeptides will be purified to substantial homogeneity, usually at least about 70% to 80% pure, preferably about 90-95% pure, most preferably 99% or more pure. Typically, the polypeptides will be substantially free of
contaminating, naturally associated fish compounds.
It is clear from the above that the polypeptides of the present invention, including full- length polypeptides, functional fragments, and fusion polypeptides, can
advantageously be produced in recombinant host cells following conventional techniques.
To express a gene according to the present invention, a polynucleotide molecule encoding the polypeptide must be operably linked to regulatory sequences that control transcriptional expression in an expression vector and then, introduced into a host cell. In addition to transcriptional regulatory sequences, such as promoters and enhancers, expression vectors can include translational regulatory sequences and a marker gene, which is suitable for selection of cells that carry the expression vector. Expression vectors that are suitable for production of a foreign polypeptide in eukaryotic cells typically contain (1) prokaryotic DNA elements coding for a bacterial replication origin and an antibiotic resistance marker to provide for the growth and selection of the expression vector in a bacterial host; (2) eukaryotic DNA elements that control initiation of transcription, such as a promoter; and (3) DNA elements that control the processing of transcripts, such as a transcription termination/polyadenylation sequence.
As discussed above, expression vectors can also include nucleotide sequences encoding a secretory sequence that directs the heterologous polypeptide into the secretory pathway of a host cell. For example, an expression vector may comprise a gene according to the present invention and a secretory sequence derived from said gene or another secreted gene. Examples of vectors commonly used with bacteria include the pET series (Novagen), pGEX series (Ge Healthcare), pBAD-series (Invitrogen). Examples of vectors in yeasts are the pPic series for Pichia (Invitrogen), the pKlac system from Kluyveromyces lactis (New England biolabs), S. cereviseae vectors (Patel, O., Fearnley, R., and Macreadie, I.. 3002. Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression vectors with thrombin-cleavable N- and C-terminal 6x(His) tags. Biotechnol Lett. 2003 25(4):331- 334) and the pYes system for S. cereviseae (Invitrogen).
Examples of vectors for use in funghi are the pBAR series (described in Pall, M. L. and J. Brunelli. 1993. A series of six compact fungal transformation vectors containing polylinkers with unique restrictions sites. Fungal Genetics Newsletter 40: 59-61) . The plEx plasmid based system (Merck) or the baculovirus based system (Merck) are two examples of systems useful for insect cells. Similar products are available from other companies. Examples of vectors for use in insect cells include the tetracycline regulated systems pTet and pTre, the adenovirus-based system Adeno-X, the retrovirus-based system Rethro-X (all Clontech) and the pcDNA vectors (Invitrogen). Again, many more examples exist and are on the market. Polypeptides according to the present invention may be expressed in mammalian cells. 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 (CHO-K1 ; ATCC CCL61 ; CHO DG44 [Chasin et al., Som. Cell. Molec. Genet. 12:555 1986]), rat pituitary cells (GH1 ; ATCC CCL82), HeLa S3 cells (ATCC CCL2.2), rat hepatoma cells (H-4-II-E; ATCC CRL 1548) SV40-transformed monkey kidney cells (COS-1 ; ATCC CRL 1650) and murine embryonic cells (NIH-3T3; ATCC CRL 1658).
For a mammalian host, the transcriptional and translational regulatory signals may be derived from viral sources, such as adenovirus, bovine papilloma virus, simian virus, or the like, in which the regulatory signals are associated with a particular gene which has a high level of expression. Suitable transcriptional and translational regulatory sequences also can be obtained from mammalian genes, such as actin, collagen, myosin, and metallothionein genes.
Transcriptional regulatory sequences include a promoter region sufficient to direct the initiation of RNA synthesis. Suitable eukaryotic promoters include the promoter of the mouse metallothionein I gene (Hamer et al., J. Molec. Appl. Genet. 1 :273 (1982)), the TK promoter of Herpes virus (McKnight, Cell 31 :355 (1982)), the SV40 early promoter (Benoist et al., Nature 290:304 (1981)), the Rous sarcoma virus promoter (Gorman et al. , Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 79:6777 (1982)), the cytomegalovirus promoter
(Foecking et al., Gene 45:101 (1980)), and the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter (see, generally, Etcheverry, "Expression of Engineered polypeptides in Mammalian Cell Culture," in polypeptide Engineering: Principles and Practice, Cleland et al. (eds.), pages 163 181 (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1996)).
Alternatively, a prokaryotic promoter, such as the bacteriophage T3 RNA polymerase promoter, can be used to control gene expression in mammalian cells if the prokaryotic promoter is regulated by a eukaryotic promoter (Zhou et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 10:4529 (1990), and Kaufman et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 19:4485 (1991)).
An expression vector can be introduced into host cells using a variety of standard techniques including calcium phosphate transfection, liposome-mediated transfection, microprojectile-mediated delivery, electroporation, and the like. The transfected cells can be selected and propagated to provide recombinant host cells that comprise the expression vector stably integrated in the host cell genome. Techniques for introducing vectors into eukaryotic cells and techniques for selecting such stable transformants using a dominant selectable marker are described, for example, by Ausubel (1995) and by Murray (ed.), Gene Transfer and Expression Protocols (Humana Press 1991). A gene according to the present invention may thus be expressed in higher eukaryots, such as avian, fungal, insect, yeast, and plant cells.
For example, one suitable selectable marker is a gene that provides resistance to the antibiotic neomycin. In this case, selection is carried out in the presence of a neomycin- type drug, such as G-418 or the like. Selection systems 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 increasing the amount of selective agent to select for cells that produce high levels of the products of the introduced genes.
A suitable amplifiable selectable marker is dihydrofolate reductase, which confers resistance to methotrexate. Other drug resistance genes (e.g., hygromycin resistance, multi-drug resistance, puromycin acetyltransferase) can also be used. Alternatively, markers that introduce an altered phenotype, such as green fluorescent polypeptide, or cell surface polypeptides such as CD4, CD8, Class I MHC, placental alkaline phosphatase may be used to sort transfected cells from untransfected cells by such means as FACS sorting or magnetic bead separation technology.
Polypeptides according to the present invention can also be produced by cultured mammalian cells using a viral delivery system. Exemplary viruses for this purpose include adenovirus, herpesvirus, vaccinia virus and adeno-associated virus (AAV). Adenovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus, is currently the best studied gene transfer vector for delivery of heterologous polynucleotide (for a review, see Becker et al., Meth. Cell Biol. 43:161 (1994), and Douglas and Curiel, Science & Medicine 4:44 (1997)). Advantages of the adenovirus system include the accommodation of relatively large DNA inserts, the ability to grow to high-titer, the ability to infect a broad range of mammalian cell types, and flexibility that allows use with a large number of available vectors containing different promoters.
By deleting portions of the adenovirus genome, larger inserts (up to 7 kb) of
heterologous DNA can be accommodated. These inserts can be incorporated into the viral DNA by direct ligation or by homologous recombination with a co-transfected
plasmid. An option is to delete the essential E1 gene from the viral vector, which results in the inability to replicate unless the E1 gene is provided by the host cell. Adenovirus vector-infected human 293 cells (ATCC Nos. CRL-1573, 45504, 45505), for example, can be grown as adherent cells or in suspension culture at relatively high cell density to produce significant amounts of polypeptide (see Gamier et al., Cytotechnol. 15: 145
(1994)).

The baculovirus system provides an efficient means to introduce cloned genes
according to the present invention into insect cells. Suitable expression vectors are based upon the Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV), and contain well-known promoters such as Drosophila heat shock polypeptide (hsp) 70 promoter, Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus immediate-early gene promoter (ie-1) and the delayed early 39K promoter, baculovirus p10 promoter, and the Drosophila metallothionein promoter. A second method of making recombinant baculovirus utilizes a transposon-based
system described by Luckow (Luckow, et al., J. Virol. 67:4566 (1993)). This system, which utilizes transfer vectors, is sold in the BAC-to-BAC kit (Life Technologies,
Rockville, Md.). This system utilizes a transfer vector, PFASTBAC (Life Technologies) containing a Tn7 transposon to move the DNA encoding the polypeptide according to the present invention into a baculovirus genome maintained in E. coli as a large
plasmid called a "bacmid." See, Hill-Perkins and Possee, J. Gen. Virol. 71 :971 (1990), Bonning, et al., J. Gen. Virol. 75: 1551 (1994), and Chazenbalk, and Rapoport, J. Biol.
Chem. 270:1543 (1995). In addition, transfer vectors can include an in-frame fusion with DNA encoding an
epitope tag at the C- or N-terminus of the expressed polypeptide according to the
present invention, for example, a Glu-Glu epitope tag (Grussenmeyer et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. 82:7952 (1985)). Using a technique known in the art, a transfer vector
containing a gene according to the present invention is transformed into E. coli, and screened for bacmids, which contain an interrupted lacZ gene indicative of recombinant baculovirus. The bacmid DNA containing the recombinant baculovirus genome is then isolated using common techniques.
The illustrative PFASTBAC vector can be modified to a considerable degree. For example, the polyhedrin promoter can be removed and substituted with the baculovirus basic polypeptide promoter (also known as Pcor, p6.9 or MP promoter) which is expressed earlier in the baculovirus infection, and has been shown to be advantageous for expressing secreted polypeptides (see, for example, Hill-Perkins and Possee, J. Gen. Virol. 71 :971 (1990), Bonning, et al., J. Gen. Virol. 75: 1551 (1994), and
Chazenbalk and Rapoport, J. Biol. Chem. 270: 1543 (1995). In such transfer vector constructs, a short or long version of the basic polypeptide promoter can be used. Moreover, transfer vectors can be constructed which replace the native secretory signal sequences of polypeptides according to the present invention with secretory signal sequences derived from insect polypeptides. For example, a secretory signal sequence from Ecdysteroid Glucosyltransferase (EGT), honey bee Melittin (Invitrogen Corporation; Carlsbad, Calif.), or baculovirus gp67 (PharMingen: San Diego, Calif.) can be used in constructs to replace native secretory signal sequences.
The recombinant virus or bacmid is used to transfect host cells. Suitable insect host cells include cell lines derived from IPLB-Sf-21 , a Spodoptera frugiperda pupal ovarian cell line, such as Sf9 (ATCC CRL 171 1), Sf21AE, and Sf21 (Invitrogen Corporation; San Diego, Calif.), as well as Drosophila Schneider-2 cells, and the HIGH FIVEO cell line (Invitrogen) derived from Trichoplusia ni (U.S. Pat. No. 5,300,435). Commercially available serum-free media can be used to grow and to maintain the cells. Suitable media are Sf900 II™ (Life Technologies) or ESF 921™ (Expression Systems) for Sf9 cells; and Ex-cellO405™ (JRH Biosciences, Lenexa, Kans.) or Express FiveO™ (Life Technologies) for T. ni cells. When recombinant virus is used, the cells are typically grown up from an inoculation density of approximately 2 to 5 X 105 cells to a density of 1 to 2 X 106 cells at which time a recombinant viral stock is added at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1 to 10, more typically near 3.
Established techniques for producing recombinant polypeptides in baculovirus systems are provided by Bailey et al., "Manipulation of Baculovirus Vectors," in Methods in Molecular Biology, Volume 7: Gene Transfer and Expression Protocols, Murray (ed.), pages 147 168 (The Humana Press, Inc. 1991), by Patel et al., "The baculovirus expression system," in DNA Cloning 2: Expression Systems, 2nd Edition, Glover et al. (eds.), pages 205 244 (Oxford University Press 1995), by Ausubel (1995) at pages 16 37 to 16 57, by Richardson (ed.), Baculovirus Expression Protocols (The Humana Press, Inc. 1995), and by Lucknow, "Insect Cell Expression Technology," in
polypeptide Engineering: Principles and Practice, Cleland et al. (eds.), pages 183 218 (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1996).
Fungal cells, including yeast cells, can also be used to express the genes described herein. Yeast species of particular interest in this regard include Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, and Pichia methanolica. Suitable promoters for expression in yeast include promoters from GAL1 (galactose), PGK (phosphoglycerate kinase), ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase), AOX1 (alcohol oxidase), HIS4 (histidinol
dehydrogenase), and the like. Many yeast cloning vectors have been designed and are readily available. These vectors include YIp-based vectors, such as Ylp5, YRp vectors, such as YRp17, YEp vectors such as YEp13 and YCp vectors, such as YCp19.
Methods for transforming S. cerevisiae cells with exogenous DNA and producing recombinant polypeptides therefrom are disclosed by, for example, Kawasaki, U.S. Pat. No. 4,599,31 1 , Kawasaki et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,931 ,373, Brake, U.S. Pat. No.
4,870,008, Welch et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,037,743, and Murray et al., U.S. Pat. No.
4,845,075. Transformed cells are selected by phenotype determined by the selectable marker, commonly drug resistance or the ability to grow in the absence of a particular nutrient (e.g., leucine). A suitable vector system for use in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the POT1 vector system disclosed by Kawasaki et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,931 ,373), which allows transformed cells to be selected by growth in glucose-containing media.
Additional suitable promoters and terminators for use in yeast include those from glycolytic enzyme genes (see, e.g., Kawasaki, U.S. Pat. No. 4,599,311 , Kingsman et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,615,974, and Bitter, U.S. Pat. No. 4,977,092) and alcohol dehydrogenase genes. See also U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,990,446, 5,063, 154, 5,139,936, and 4,661 ,454. Other examples of commonly used and/or commercially available vectors suitable for use in yeast are the pPic series (Invitrogen), the pKlac system from
Kluyveromyces lactis (New England Biolabs) and S. cerevisae vectors (Patel et al., Biotechnology letters 2003 vol 25(4): 331-334) as well as the pYes system for S.
cerevisae (Invitrogen). In fungi, the pBAR series is useful (Pall et al., 1993 vol. 40:59- 61 , Functional Genetics Newsletter). Transformation systems for other yeasts, including Hansenula polymorpha,
Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Kluyveromyces lactis, Kluyveromyces fragilis, Ustilago maydis, Pichia pastoris, Pichia methanolica, Pichia guillermondii and Candida maltosa are known in the art. See, for example, Gleeson et al., J. Gen. Microbiol. 132:3459 (1986), and Cregg, U.S. Pat. No. 4,882,279. Aspergillus cells may be utilized according to the methods of McKnight et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,935,349. Methods for transforming Acremonium chrysogenum are disclosed by Sumino et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5, 162,228. Methods for transforming Neurospora are disclosed by Lambowitz, U.S. Pat. No.
4,486,533.
For example, the use of Pichia methanolica as host for the production of recombinant polypeptides is disclosed by Raymond, U.S. Pat. No. 5,716,808, Raymond, U.S. Pat. No. 5,736,383, Raymond et al., Yeast 14:1 1 23 (1998), and in international publication Nos. WO 97/17450, WO 97/17451 , WO 98/02536, and WO 98/02565. DNA molecules for use in transforming P. methanolica will commonly be prepared as double-stranded, circular plasmids, which can be linearized prior to transformation. For polypeptide production in P. methanolica, the promoter and terminator in the plasmid can be that of a P. methanolica gene, such as a P. methanolica alcohol utilization gene (AUG1 or AUG2). Other useful promoters include those of the dihydroxyacetone synthase (DHAS), formate dehydrogenase (FMD), and catalase (CAT) genes. To facilitate integration of the DNA into the host chromosome, it is preferred to have the entire expression segment of the plasmid flanked at both ends by host DNA sequences. A suitable selectable marker for use in Pichia methanolica is a P. methanolica ADE2 gene, which encodes phosphoribosyl-5-aminoimidazole carboxylase (AIRC; EC 4.1.1.21), and which allows ade2 host cells to grow in the absence of adenine. For large-scale, industrial processes where it is desirable to minimize the use of methanol, it is possible to use host cells in which both methanol utilization genes (AUG1 and AUG2) are deleted. For production of secreted polypeptides, host cells can be used that are deficient in vacuolar pro tease genes (PEP4 and PRB1). Electroporation is used to facilitate the introduction of a plasmid containing DNA encoding a polypeptide of interest into P. methanolica cells. P. methanolica cells can be transformed by electroporation using an exponentially decaying, pulsed electric field having a field strength of from 2.5 to 4.5 kV/cm, preferably about 3.75 kV/cm, and a time constant (t) of from 1 to 40 milliseconds, most preferably about 20 milliseconds. Expression vectors can also be introduced into plant protoplasts, intact plant tissues, or isolated plant cells. Methods for introducing expression vectors into plant tissue include the direct infection or co-cultivation of plant tissue with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, microprojectile-mediated delivery, DNA injection, electroporation, and the like. See, for example, Horsch et al. , Science 227: 1229 (1985), Klein et al., Biotechnology 10:268 (1992), and Miki et al. , "Procedures for Introducing Foreign DNA into Plants," in Methods in Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Glick et al. (eds.), pages 67 88 (CRC Press, 1993). Alternatively, genes according to the present invention can be expressed in prokaryotic host cells. Suitable promoters that can be used to express polypeptides according to the present invention in a prokaryotic host are well-known to those of skill in the art and include promoters capable of recognizing the T4, T3, Sp6 and T7 polymerases, the PR and Pi. promoters of bacteriophage lambda, the trp, recA, heat shock, lacUV5, tac, Ipp- lacSpr, phoA, and lacZ promoters of E. coli, promoters of B. subtilis, the promoters of the bacteriophages of Bacillus, Streptomyces promoters, the int promoter of bacteriophage lambda, the bla promoter of pBR322, and the CAT promoter of the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase gene. Prokaryotic promoters have been reviewed by Glick, J. Ind. Microbiol. 1 :277 (1987), Watson et al., Molecular Biology of the Gene, 4th Ed. (Benjamin Cummins 1987), and by Ausubel et al. (1995).
Suitable prokaryotic hosts include E. coli and Bacillus subtilus. Suitable strains of E. coli include BL21 (DE3), BL21 (DE3)pLysS, BL21 (DE3)pLysE, DH 1 , DH4I , DH5, DH5I , DH5I F, DH5IMCR, DH 10B, DH 10B/p3, DH 1 1 S, C600, H B101 , JM 101 , JM 105, JM 109, JM1 10, K38, RR1 , Y1088, Y1089, CSH 18, ER1451 , and ER1647 (see, for example, Brown (ed.), Molecular Biology Labfax (Academic Press 1991 )). Suitable strains of Bacillus subtilus include BR151 , YB886, MM 19, MI 120, and B170 (see, for example, Hardy, "Bacillus Cloning Methods," in DNA Cloning: A Practical Approach, Glover (ed.) (IRL Press 1985)).
When expressing a polypeptide according to the present invention in bacteria such as E. coli, the polypeptide may be retained in the cytoplasm, typically as insoluble granules, or may 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 polypeptide can then be refolded and dimerized by diluting the denaturant, such as by dialysis against a solution of urea and a combination of reduced and oxidized glutathione, followed by dialysis against a buffered saline solution. In the latter case, the polypeptide 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 polypeptide, thereby obviating the need for denaturation and refolding.
Methods for expressing polypeptides in prokaryotic hosts are well-known to those of skill in the art (see, for example, Williams et al., "Expression of foreign polypeptides in E. coli using plasmid vectors and purification of specific polyclonal antibodies," in DNA Cloning 2: Expression Systems, 2nd Edition, Glover et al. (eds.), page 15 (Oxford University Press 1995), Ward et al., "Genetic Manipulation and Expression of
Antibodies," in Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications, page 137 (Wley- Liss, Inc. 1995), and Georgiou, "Expression of polypeptides in Bacteria," in polypeptide Engineering: Principles and Practice, Cleland et al. (eds.), page 101 (John Wley & Sons, Inc. 1996)).
Standard methods for introducing expression vectors into bacterial, yeast, insect, and plant cells are provided, for example, by Ausubel (1995).
General methods for expressing and recovering foreign polypeptide produced by a mammalian cell system are provided by, for example, Etcheverry, "Expression of Engineered polypeptides in Mammalian Cell Culture," in polypeptide Engineering: Principles and Practice, Cleland et al.

(eds.), pages 59 92 (Oxford University Press 1995). Established methods for isolating recombinant polypeptides from a baculovirus system are described by Richardson (ed.), Baculovirus Expression Protocols (The Humana Press, Inc. 1995).
As an alternative, polypeptides of the present invention can be synthesized by exclusive solid phase synthesis, partial solid phase methods, fragment condensation or classical solution synthesis. These synthesis methods are well-known to those of skill in the art (see, for example, Merrifield, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 85:2149 (1963), Stewart et al., "Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis" (2nd Edition), (Pierce Chemical Co. 1984), Bayer and Rapp, Chem. Pept. Prot. 3:3 (1986), Atherton et al., Solid Phase Peptide
Synthesis: A Practical Approach (IRL Press 1989), Fields and Colowick, "Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis," Methods in Enzymology Volume 289 (Academic Press 1997), and Lloyd-Williams et al., Chemical Approaches to the Synthesis of Peptides and polypeptides (CRC Press, Inc. 1997)). Variations in total chemical synthesis strategies, such as "native chemical ligation" and "expressed polypeptide ligation" are also standard (see, for example, Dawson et al., Science 266:776 (1994), Hackeng et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 94:7845 (1997), Dawson, Methods Enzymol. 287: 34
(1997), Muir et al, Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 95:6705 (1998), and Severinov and Muir, J. Biol. Chem. 273: 16205 (1998)).
The present invention contemplates compositions comprising a peptide or polypeptide described herein. Such compositions can further comprise a carrier. The carrier can be a conventional organic or inorganic carrier. Examples of carriers include water, buffer solution, alcohol, propylene glycol, macrogol, sesame oil, corn oil, and the like.
Isolation of polypeptides according to the present invention
The polypeptides of the present invention can be purified to at least about 80% purity, to at least about 90% purity, to at least about 95% purity, or even greater than 95% purity with respect to contaminating macromolecules, particularly other polypeptides and polynucleotides, and free of infectious and pyrogenic agents. The polypeptides of the present invention can also be purified to a pharmaceutically pure state, which is greater than 99.9% pure. In certain preparations, a purified polypeptide is substantially free of other polypeptides, particularly other polypeptides of animal origin.
Fractionation and/or conventional purification methods can be used to obtain preparations of polypeptides according to the present invention purified from natural sources, and recombinant polypeptides according to the present invention and fusion polypeptides according to the present invention purified from recombinant host cells. In general, ammonium sulfate precipitation and acid or chaotrope extraction may be used for fractionation of samples. Exemplary purification steps may include hydroxyapatite, size exclusion, FPLC and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Suitable chromatographic media include derivatized dextrans, agarose, cellulose, polyacrylamide, specialty silicas, and the like. PEI, DEAE, QAE and Q derivatives are preferred. Exemplary chromatographic media include those media derivatized with phenyl, butyl, or octyl groups, such as Phenyl-Sepharose FF (Pharmacia), Toyopearl butyl 650 (Toso Haas, Montgomeryville, Pa.), Octyl-Sepharose (Pharmacia) and the like; or polyacrylic resins, such as Amberchrom CG 71 (Toso Haas) and the like.
Suitable solid supports include glass beads, silica-based resins, cellulosic resins, agarose beads, cross-linked agarose beads, polystyrene beads, cross-linked polyacrylamide resins and the like that are insoluble under the conditions in which they are to be used. These supports may be modified with reactive groups that allow attachment of polypeptides by amino groups, carboxyl groups, sulfhydryl groups, hydroxyl groups and/or carbohydrate moieties.
Examples of coupling chemistries include cyanogen bromide activation, N- hydroxysuccinimide activation, epoxide activation, sulfhydryl activation, hydrazide activation, and carboxyl and amino derivatives for carbodiimide coupling chemistries. These and other solid media are well known and widely used in the art, and are available from commercial suppliers. Selection of a particular method for polypeptide isolation and purification is a matter of routine design and is determined in part by the properties of the chosen support. See, for example, Affinity Chromatography: Principles & Methods (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology 1988), and Doonan, polypeptide Purification Protocols (The Humana Press 1996).
Additional variations in the isolation and purification of polypeptides according to the present invention can be devised by those of skill in the art. For example, specific antibodies recognising polypeptides according to the present invention and fragments thereof, obtained as described below, can be used to isolate large quantities of polypeptide by immunoaffinity purification.
The polypeptides of the present invention can also be isolated by exploitation of particular properties. For example, immobilized metal ion adsorption (IMAC) chromatography can be used to purify histidine-rich polypeptides, including those comprising polyhistidine tags. Briefly, a gel is first charged with divalent metal ions to form a chelate (Sulkowski, Trends in Biochem. 3:1 (1985)). Histidine-rich polypeptides will be adsorbed to this matrix with differing affinities, depending upon the metal ion used, and will be eluted by competitive elution, lowering the pH, or use of strong chelating agents. Other methods of purification include purification of glycosylated polypeptides by lectin affinity chromatography and ion exchange chromatography (M. Deutscher, (ed.), Meth. Enzymol. 182:529 (1990)). Within additional embodiments of the invention, a fusion of the polypeptide of interest and an affinity tag (e.g., maltose- binding polypeptide, an immunoglobulin domain) may be constructed to facilitate purification.
Polypeptides and fragments thereof according to the present invention may also be prepared through chemical synthesis, as described above. Polypeptides according to the present invention may be monomers or multimers; glycosylated or non- glycosylated; pegylated or non-pegylated; and may or may not include an initial methionine amino acid residue.
Production of antibodies specific for polypeptides according to the present invention Antibodies to an ice-binding polypeptide according to the present invention, or a fragment thereof, can be obtained, for example, by using as an antigen the product produced from an expression vector comprising a gene according to the present invention in a suitable host organism, or by using a polypeptide according to the present invention isolated from a natural source or synthesised using any conventional solid phase synthesis strategy. Particularly useful antibodies "bind specifically" with a polypeptide according to the present invention. Antibodies are considered to be specifically binding if the antibodies exhibit at least one of the following two properties: (1) antibodies bind to a polypeptide according to the present invention with a threshold level of binding activity, and (2) antibodies do not significantly cross-react with polypeptides which are related to a polypeptide according to the present invention as defined herein below.
With regard to the first characteristic, antibodies specifically bind if they bind to a polypeptide, peptide or epitope with a binding affinity (Ka) of 106 M"1 or greater, preferably 107 M"1 or greater, more preferably 108 M"1 or greater, and most preferably 109 M"1 or greater. The binding affinity of an antibody can be readily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, for example, by Scatchard analysis (Scatchard, Ann. NY Acad. Sci. 51 :660 (1949)). With regard to the second characteristic, antibodies do not significantly cross- react with related polypeptide molecules, for example, if they detect polypeptides according to the present invention, but do not detect known polypeptides applied in similar or identical amounts in a standard Western blot analysis.
Antibodies can be produced using antigenic epitope-bearing peptides or polypeptides according to the present invention. It is desirable that the amino acid sequence of the epitope-bearing peptide is selected to provide substantial solubility in aqueous solvents (i.e., the sequence includes relatively hydrophilic residues, while hydrophobic residues are preferably avoided). Moreover, amino acid sequences containing proline residues may be also be desirable for antibody production.
As an illustration, potential antigenic sites in polypeptides according to the present invention can be identified using the Jameson-Wolf method, Jameson and Wolf, CABIOS 4: 181 , (1988), as implemented by the PROTEAN program (version 3.14) of LASERGENE (DNASTAR; Madison, Wis.). Default parameters were used in this analysis.
The Jameson-Wolf method predicts potential antigenic determinants by combining six major subroutines for polypeptide structural prediction. Briefly, the Hopp-Woods method, Hopp et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 78:3824 (1981), was first used to identify amino acid sequences representing areas of greatest local hydrophilicity
(parameter: seven residues averaged). In the second step, Emini's method, Emini et al., J. Virology 55:836 (1985), was used to calculate surface probabilities (parameter: surface decision threshold (0.6)=1). Third, the Karplus-Schultz method, Karplus and Schultz, Naturwissenschaften 72:212 (1985), was used to predict backbone chain flexibility (parameter: flexibility threshold (0.2)=1). In the fourth and fifth steps of the analysis, secondary structure predictions were applied to the data using the methods of Chou-Fasman, Chou, "Prediction of polypeptide Structural Classes from Amino Acid Composition," in Prediction of polypeptide Structure and the Principles of polypeptide Conformation, Fasman (ed.), pages 549 586 (Plenum Press 1990), and Garnier- Robson, Gamier et al., J. Mol. Biol. 120:97 (1978) (Chou-Fasman parameters:
conformation table=64 polypeptides; .alpha, region threshold=103; .beta, region thresholds 05; Garnier-Robson parameters: .alpha, and .beta, decision constants=0). In the sixth subroutine, flexibility parameters and hydropathy/solvent accessibility factors were combined to determine a surface contour value, designated as the "antigenic index." Finally, a peak broadening function was applied to the antigenic index, which broadens major surface peaks by adding 20, 40, 60, or 80% of the respective peak value to account for additional free energy derived from the mobility of surface regions relative to interior regions. This calculation was not applied, however, to any major peak that resides in a helical region, since helical regions tend to be less flexible.
Polyclonal antibodies to recombinant polypeptide or to isolated from natural sources can be prepared using methods well-known to those of skill in the art. See, for example, Green et al., "Production of Polyclonal Antisera," in Immunochemical Protocols (Manson, ed.), pages 1 to 5 (Humana Press 1992), and Williams et al.,
"Expression of foreign polypeptides in E. coli using plasmid vectors and purification of specific polyclonal antibodies," in DNA Cloning 2: Expression Systems, 2nd Edition, Glover et al. (eds.), page 15 (Oxford University Press 1995). The immunogenicity of a polypeptide can be increased through the use of an adjuvant, such as alum (aluminum hydroxide) or Freund's complete or incomplete adjuvant. Polypeptides useful for immunization also include fusion polypeptides, such as fusions of or a portion thereof with an immunoglobulin polypeptide or with maltose binding polypeptide. The polypeptide immunogen may be a full-length molecule or a portion thereof. If the polypeptide portion is "hapten-like," such portion may be advantageously joined or linked to a macromolecular carrier (such as keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), bovine serum albumin (BSA) or tetanus toxoid) for immunization.
Although polyclonal antibodies are typically raised in animals such as horses, cows, dogs, chicken, rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, or sheep, an antibody specific for a polypeptides according to the present invention may also be derived from a subhuman primate antibody. General techniques for raising diagnostically and therapeutically useful antibodies in baboons may be found, for example, in Goldenberg et al., international patent publication No. WO 91/1 1465, and in Losman et al., Int. J. Cancer 46:310 (1990).
Alternatively, monoclonal antibodies specific for a polypeptides according to the present invention can be generated. Rodent monoclonal antibodies to specific antigens may be obtained by methods known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Kohler et al., Nature 256:495 (1975), Coligan et al. (eds.), Current Protocols in Immunology, Vol. 1 , pages 2.5.1 2.6.7 (John Wley & Sons 1991) ["Coligan"], Picksley et al. , "Production of monoclonal antibodies against polypeptides expressed in E. coli," in DNA Cloning 2: Expression Systems, 2nd Edition, Glover et al. (eds.), page 93 (Oxford University Press 1995)). Briefly, monoclonal antibodies can be obtained by injecting mice with a composition comprising a gene product, verifying the presence of antibody production by removing a serum sample, removing the spleen to obtain B-lymphocytes, fusing the B- lymphocytes with myeloma cells to produce hybridomas, cloning the hybridomas, selecting positive clones which produce antibodies to the antigen, culturing the clones that produce antibodies to the antigen, and isolating the antibodies from the hybridoma cultures.
In addition, an antibody specific for polypeptides according to the present invention of the present invention may be derived from a human monoclonal antibody. Human monoclonal antibodies are obtained from transgenic mice that have been engineered to produce specific human antibodies in response to antigenic challenge. In this technique, elements of the human heavy and light chain locus are introduced into strains of mice derived from embryonic stem cell lines that contain targeted disruptions of the endogenous heavy chain and light chain loci. The transgenic mice can synthesize human antibodies specific for human antigens, and the mice can be used to produce human antibody-secreting hybridomas. Methods for obtaining human antibodies from transgenic mice are described, for example, by Green et al., Nature Genet. 7: 13 (1994), Lonberg et al., Nature 368:856 (1994), and Taylor et al., Int.
Immun. 6:579 (1994).
Monoclonal antibodies can be isolated and purified from hybridoma cultures by a variety of well-established techniques. Such isolation techniques include affinity chromatography with polypeptide-A Sepharose, size-exclusion chromatography, and ion-exchange chromatography (see, for example, Coligan at pages 2.7.1 2.7.12 and pages 2.9.1 2.9.3; Baines et al., "Purification of Immunoglobulin G (IgG)," in Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 10, pages 79 104 (The Humana Press, Inc. 1992)).
For particular uses, it may be desirable to prepare fragments of antibodies specific for polypeptides according to the present invention. Such antibody fragments can be obtained, for example, by proteolytic hydrolysis of the antibody. Antibody fragments can be obtained by pepsin or papain digestion of whole antibodies by conventional methods. As an illustration, antibody fragments can be produced by enzymatic cleavage of antibodies with pepsin to provide a 5S fragment denoted F(ab')2. This fragment can be further cleaved using a thiol reducing agent to produce 3.5S Fab' monovalent fragments. Optionally, the cleavage reaction can be performed using a blocking group for the sulfhydryl groups that result from cleavage of disulfide linkages. As an alternative, an enzymatic cleavage using pepsin produces two monovalent Fab fragments and an Fc fragment directly. These methods are described, for example, by Goldenberg, U.S. Pat. No. 4,331 ,647, Nisonoff et al., Arch Biochem. Biophys. 89:230 (1960), Porter, Biochem. J. 73: 1 19 (1959), Edelman et al. and Coligan, both in
Methods in Enzymology Vol. 1 , (Academic Press 1967).
Other methods of cleaving antibodies, such as separation of heavy chains to form monovalent light-heavy chain fragments, further cleavage of fragments, or other enzymatic, chemical or genetic techniques may also be used, so long as the fragments bind to the antigen that is recognized by the intact antibody.
For example, Fv fragments comprise an association of VH and VL chains. This association can be noncovalent, as described by Inbar et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 69:2659 (1972). Alternatively, the variable chains can be linked by an
intermolecular disulfide bond or cross-linked by chemicals such as glutaraldehyde (see, for example, Sandhu, Crit. Rev. Biotech. 12:437 (1992)).
The Fv fragments may comprise VH and VL chains, which are connected by a peptide linker. These single-chain antigen binding polypeptides (scFv) are prepared by constructing a structural gene comprising DNA sequences encoding the VH and VL domains which are connected by an oligonucleotide. The structural gene is inserted into an expression vector, which is subsequently introduced into a host cell, such as E. coli. The recombinant host cells synthesize a single polypeptide chain with a linker peptide bridging the two V domains. Methods for producing scFvs are described, for example, by Whitlow et al., Methods: A Companion to Methods in Enzymology 2:97 (1991 ) (also see, Bird et al., Science 242:423 (1988), Ladner et al., U.S. Pat. No.
4,946,778, Pack et al., Bio/Technology 1 1 : 1271 (1993), and Sandhu, supra). As an illustration, a scFV can be obtained by exposing lymphocytes to polypeptide in vitro, and selecting antibody display libraries in phage or similar vectors (for instance, through use of immobilized or labeled polypeptide or peptide). Genes encoding polypeptides having potential polypeptide binding domains can be obtained by screening random peptide libraries displayed on phage (phage display) or on bacteria, such as E. coli. Nucleotide sequences encoding the polypeptides can be obtained in a number of ways, such as through random mutagenesis and random polynucleotide synthesis. These random peptide display libraries can be used to screen for peptides, which interact with a known target which can be a polypeptide or polypeptide, such as a ligand or receptor, a biological or synthetic macromolecule, or organic or inorganic substances. Techniques for creating and screening such random peptide display libraries are known in the art (Ladner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,223,409, Ladner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,778, Ladner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,403,484, Ladner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,571 ,698, and Kay et al., Phage Display of Peptides and polypeptides (Academic Press, Inc. 1996)) and random peptide display libraries and kits for screening such libraries are available commercially, for instance from CLONTECH Laboratories, Inc. (Palo Alto, Calif.), Invitrogen Inc. (San Diego, Calif.), New England Biolabs, Inc.
(Beverly, Mass.), and Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology Inc. (Piscataway, N.J.). Random peptide display libraries can be screened using the sequences disclosed herein to identify polypeptides which bind to .
Another form of an antibody fragment is a peptide coding for a single complementarity- determining region (CDR). CDR peptides ("minimal recognition units") can be obtained by constructing genes encoding the CDR of an antibody of interest. Such genes are prepared, for example, by using the polymerase chain reaction to synthesize the variable region from RNA of antibody-producing cells (see, for example, Larrick et al., Methods: A Companion to Methods in Enzymology 2: 106 (1991), Courtenay-Luck, "Genetic Manipulation of Monoclonal Antibodies," in Monoclonal Antibodies:
Production, Engineering and Clinical Application, Ritter et al. (eds.), page 166
(Cambridge University Press 1995), and Ward et al., "Genetic Manipulation and Expression of Antibodies," in Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications, Birch et al., (eds.), page 137 (Wiley-Liss, Inc. 1995)).
Alternatively, an antibody specific for a polypeptide according to the present invention may be derived from a "humanized" monoclonal antibody. Humanized monoclonal antibodies are produced by transferring mouse complementary determining regions from heavy and light variable chains of the mouse immunoglobulin into a human variable domain. Typical residues of human antibodies are then substituted in the framework regions of the murine counterparts. The use of antibody components derived from humanized monoclonal antibodies obviates potential problems associated with the immunogenicity of murine constant regions. General techniques for cloning murine immunoglobulin variable domains are described, for example, by Orlandi et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 86:3833 (1989). Techniques for producing humanized monoclonal antibodies are described, for example, by Jones et al., Nature 321 :522 (1986), Carter et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 89:4285 (1992), Sandhu, Crit. Rev. Biotech. 12:437 (1992), Singer et al., J. Immun. 150:2844 (1993), Sudhir (ed.),
Antibody Engineering Protocols (Humana Press, Inc. 1995), Kelley, "Engineering Therapeutic Antibodies," in polypeptide Engineering: Principles and Practice, Cleland et al. (eds.), pages 399 434 (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1996), and by Queen et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,693,762 (1997).
Polyclonal anti-idiotype antibodies can be prepared by immunizing animals with antibodies or antibody fragments specific for a polypeptide according to the present invention, using standard techniques. See, for example, Green et al., "Production of Polyclonal Antisera," in Methods In Molecular Biology: Immunochemical Protocols, Manson (ed.), pages 1 12 (Humana Press 1992). Also, see Coligan at pages 241 to 247. Alternatively, monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies can be prepared using antibodies or antibody fragments specific for a polypeptide according to the present invention as immunogens with the techniques, described above. As another alternative, humanized anti-idiotype antibodies or subhuman primate anti-idiotype antibodies can be prepared using the above-described techniques. Methods for producing antiidiotype antibodies are described, for example, by Irie, U.S. Pat. No. 5,208, 146, Greene, et. al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,637,677, and Varthakavi and Minocha, J. Gen. Virol. 77: 1875 (1996). Host cells and uses related thereto
The host cells which may comprise a polypeptide according to the present invention can be exemplified e.g. by animal cells, mammalian host cells, insect cells, fish cells, fungal cells, yeast cells, bacterial cells and plant cells. The natural or synthetic nucleic fragments coding for an anti-freeze polypeptide according to the invention will be incorporated in polynucleotide constructs capable of introduction to and/or expression in the ultimate target expressing cell. Usually, the polynucleotide constructs will be suitable for replication in a unicellular or multicellular host, such as yeast or bacteria, but may also be intended for introduction and integration within the genome of cultured mammalian or other eukaryotic cell lines, in particular, plants, polynucleotide constructs prepared for introduction into bacteria or yeast will include a replication system recognized by the host, the polynucleotide fragment encoding the desired anti-freeze polypeptide product, transcriptional and translational initiation regulatory sequences joined to the 5'-end of the anti-freeze polypeptide encoding polynucleotide sequence, and transcriptional and translational termination regulatory sequences joined to the 3'-end of the sequence. The
transcriptional regulatory sequences will include a heterologous promoter which is recognized by the host. Conveniently, available expression vectors which include the replication system and transcriptional and translational regulatory sequences together with an insertion site for the anti-freeze polypeptide encoding sequence may be employed.
The gene will include any polynucleotide segment which contains a coding sequence for anti-freeze polypeptide. Normally, the gene will include the coding sequence plus the upstream and downstream associated sequences, particularly any enhancer, promoter, ribosome binding site or transcription initiation markers. Downstream segments may also be important for message polyadenylation and processing, and thus are also contemplated in the usual instance.
The introduction of genes into cells or groups of cells for expression is another method for generally introducing the polypeptides into the sample of interest. The end product of the transformation is also included as the product of this invention, and the term "transformed cell" will include the actual cell transformed, and all progeny of that cell. In the typical case, the final organism will contain cells, each of which will contain the gene. Standard transformation procedures exist for bacteria (Maniatis), fungi (Sherman et al. (1986) in Laboratory Course Manual for Methods in Yeast Genetics CSH), plants (van den Elzen et al. (1985) Plant Mol. Biol., 5: 149-154) and animals (Hanahan, (1988) Ann. Rev. Genetics, 22:479-519).

Frozen foods and edible products
Recrystallisation of frozen food products, including frozen vegetables, leads to a deteriorating taste and texture of such foods. Anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention can be used to treat frozen foods or foods to be frozen in order to prevent re-crystallization. Examples of foods for treatment with the invention include, but is not limited to: Ice cream, frozen yoghurt, soups, puddings, sorbets, ice cream bars, frozen desserts e.g. custards, puddings etc and other liquids or semi-liquids for freezing. Frozen vegetables such as celery, potatoes, asparagus, peas, carots, beans, broccoli, sweet corn, spinach, haricots verts etc. is also encompassed by the present invention.
The polypeptides according to the present invention may also affect the formation of lactose crystals. Hence, without being bound by any specific theory, it is believed that the polypeptides according to the present invention inhibit the crystallisation and/or growth of lactose crystals. It is well known that during freezing of ice creams the content of all ingredients (including lactose) is increasingly concentrated except for the content of liquid water, which is decreasing. When the content of lactose reaches a certain level, lactose crystals start to crystallize. This crystallisation is a slow process, which takes place at -20°C. Typically, ice creams are stored at about -20°C. However, in many cases the ice creams are not stored at a stabile and constant temperature, but temperatures fluctuating around -20°C. Hence, during periods where the temperature is higher than -20°C crystals of lactose will grow and new crystals will be formed.
Consequently, the mouth feel of the ice cream will become more coarse, and most people find this mouth feel unpleasant. It has now surprisingly been found that when the polypeptides according to the present invention is added to the ice cream prior to freezing of the ice cream markedly reduces the formation of lactose crystals and markedly prevent that new crystals are formed during storage at about -20°C.
Consequently, the quality of the stored ice cream product is markedly improved.
Examples of frozen edible products according to the present invention are disclosed in more detail herein below.
Frozen fermented products comprising the polypeptide according to the present invention Frozen or refrigerated foods are now a mainstay of the human diet in developed nations. Thus extensive research has and is being carried out by food scientists to ensure high quality products for the consumers. This is particularly true with regard to frozen vegetables and frozen deserts such as ice cream and yogurt. Frozen deserts such as ice cream or yogurt are generally eaten in the frozen state.
Thus, the texture of the frozen product as well as its flavor is important to consumers. Texture is to a large extent governed by the size of the ice crystals. Producers of these frozen deserts have gone to considerable effort and expense to ensure smooth textured products. However, during frozen storage the ice crystals can grow and thus roughen and spoil this texture. The growth of ice crystals during frozen storage is known as recrystallization. This problem is particularly common when the frozen storage conditions are less than ideal, such as during transportation or storage in modern frost-free home freezers. After a relatively short period of time at above-zero temperatures (i.e., above 0°C), or even at sustained freezing temperatures, frozen foods can become less desirable or even unsuitable for human consumption due to the ice recrystallization process.
An ideal method of incorporating anti-freeze polypeptides into frozen fermented food products is to have the organism responsible for the fermentation process produce the anti-freeze polypeptides while fermenting the food.
Hence, the present invention embraces methods for preparing a frozen fermented food product. This method comprises the steps of (a) contacting a food product with a microorganism that is capable of secreting a polypeptide according to the present invention, wherein the microorganism is capable of fermenting the food product to produce the fermented food product, (b) incubating the food product with the microorganism under conditions in which fermentation takes place so that a fermented food product is produced having the anti-freeze polypeptide present in an amount effective at inhibiting recrystallization of the product; and (c) freezing the fermented food product at a temperature below -5°C, so as to produce a frozen fermented food product.
In one embodiment the food product may be a dairy product (e.g., milk) which can be fermented to produce yogurt, buttermilk or cheese.
The microorganism of the invention is usually a bacterium (e.g., Lactobacillus bulgaricus; Streptococcus cremoris, Streptococcus lactis; Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium longum) but may also be a fungus such as a yeast (e.g.,
Saccharomyces fragilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces lactis, and others). According to the invention these microorganisms are genetically engineered so that they are capable of secreting a polypeptide according to the present invention.
In a most preferred embodiment the invention comprises incubating milk with bacterial species Lactobacillus balgaricus and Streptococcus lactis that are capable of fermenting milk to produce yogurt and capable of secreting anti-freeze polypeptides; incubating the bacteria and milk under conditions that produce yogurt; and freezing the yogurt at a temperature below -5°C, so as to produce frozen yogurt.
The invention also provides a composition comprising yogurt and a microorganism wherein the microorganism comprises a gene encoding a polypeptide according to the present invention.
As used herein, "fermentation" refers to the chemical conversion of carbohydrates or polypeptides in food products through the use of microorganisms. In this process carbohydrates are often convened to lactic acid.
As used herein "fermented food product;" refers to an edible food product prepared by a process that includes fermentation by a microorganism.
As used herein "yogurt" refers to a dairy product produced by the lactic acid fermentation of milk by the action of microorganisms.
As used herein, "recombinantly produced polypeptides" refers to a polypeptide produced using recombinant DNA techniques. Recombinant DNA techniques are well known and are characterized by the joining of at least two segments of DNA that are not naturally joined in nature (e.g., a bacterial promoter and a polypeptide coding sequence).
The reference sequence may be shorter than the full-length naturally occurring polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence but will be at least 12 residues long for the case of a polypeptide and at least 36 bases long for the case of a polynucleotide.
The present invention also provides methods for preparing a frozen fermented food product by adding a microorganism that is capable of fermenting the food product to produce the fermented food product and also is able to secrete the polypeptide according to the present invention. The use of a microorganism that both secretes the polypeptide according to the present invention and ferments the food product has several advantages over other methods for affecting ice crystal formation and freezing temperature. For example, the claimed method avoids the costly necessity for purifying the polypeptide according to the present invention prior to addition to a food product. In addition, this will eliminate any possible contamination from the purification protocol and the pyrogenicity associated with foreign microorganisms. Furthermore, because the polypeptide according to the present invention is secret by the fermenting microorganism of the claimed invention, this process requires fewer steps than other methods.
The food product of the invention is usually milk but other foods that are fermented to produce an edible fermented food may also be used. Examples include cabbage (which can be fermented to produce sauerkraut), cucumbers (which can be fermented to produce pickles) and soybeans (which can be fermented to produce miso and other products).
In one step of the method, the food product is contacted or mixed with a microorganism capable of fermenting the food product. Examples of microorganisms useful in food fermentation are well known (see, e.g., van de Guchte, 1992, FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 88:73-92).
In a preferred embodiment the food product is milk (e.g., from a cow [i.e. bovine], ewe, mare, or goat). The action of fermenting microorganisms, typically bacteria, on the milk produces yogurt, buttermilk, or certain cheeses, according to the choice of the bacteria and the conditions of incubation. In a most preferred embodiment the method of the invention will be used to produce yogurt from milk. Yogurt is referred to by a variety of names around the world. The names and country of origin of the common varieties of yogurt are listed below:

Methods for yogurt production can be found in Functions of Fermented Milk edited by Nakazawa and Hosono, 1992, published by Elsevier Applied Science, London-New York, p. 32, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the United States yogurt is produced from either whole or skim milk from cows. The milk is standardized to 10.5 to 1 1.5% solids, heated to above 90°C. (30 to 60 minutes) to destroy any contaminating microorganisms, and then cooled. The material is then inoculated with a mixed culture of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus in a 1 :1 ratio. The combined action of these two organisms is usually needed to obtain the desired flavor and acid in the products. In other instances, other high fermenting bacteria including bulgarian bacteria, L. jugarti, L. acidophilus, Bifido bacterium, spp. Yeast and lactic fungi have also been used. Examples of bacteria and other organisms used for the fermentation of milk to produce yogurt are listed below:

The microorganisms may be genetically engineered (i.e., employing the techniques of recombinant DNA technology) so that they are able to secrete the polypeptide according to the present invention. The methods for engineering bacteria and fungi capable of expressing and secreting a heterologous polypeptide are well established (see, e.g., Maniatis et al. (1982), Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; Berger and Kimmel, Guide to Molecular Cloning Techniques, Methods in Enzymology 152 (Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, Calif.); Simon et al., 1986, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 52:394-395; and von Wright et a., 1985, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 50: 1 100-1102, all of which are incorporated herein by reference)
The production of microorganisms capable of expressing and secreting an AFP can be carried out in a variety of ways that will be apparent to one of ordinary skill. The DNA sequence encoding the AFP will preferably be operably linked (i.e., positioned to ensure the functioning of) to an operon which allows the DNA to be transcribed (into an RNA transcript) and translated into a polypeptide in the microorganism. Promoters for both bacteria and fungi are well known in the art. Preferred operons for expression in lactic acid bacteria include the lactose operon of S. thermophilus or lac ABCDFEGX operon of L. lactic because they have been used successfully to drive foreign gene expression in the hosts (see, e.g., Simons et al., 1993, J. Bact. 175:5186-5175; Mollet et al., 1993, J. Bact. 175:4315-4324). The polypeptide according to the present invention may be expressed as a fusion polypeptide for increased stability or other beneficial properties. Furthermore the polypeptide according to the present invention may be modified via a modification of the gene encoding the polypeptide. In general, modifications of the genes may be readily accomplished by a variety of well-known techniques, such as site-directed mutagenesis (see, e.g., Gillman and Smith, 1979, Gene 8:81-97 and Roberts et al., 1987, Nature 328:731-734).
The microorganisms of the invention are capable of secreting the polypeptide according to the present invention. Accordingly, the polypeptide according to the present invention will preferably be linked to a signal peptide sequence. Examples of suitable signal peptide sequences include those from the usp45 gene of L. lactis ssp lactis MG 1363 and the L. lactis ssp cremoris SK11 cell envelop associated protease gene (van Asseldonk et al., 1990, Gene 95: 155-160; De vos et al., 1989, J. Dairy Sci. 72:3398-3405). For bacteria such as L. lactis the usp45 signal peptide is preferred since it derives from the same host. In one preferred embodiment the polypeptide gene according to the present invention is linked to a transcription termination sequence to ensure correct termination of transcription of the polypeptide according to the present invention in the host system. A gene construct including elements described above is constructed using plasmids such as pUC19, pNZ18 and pDBN183 as vectors (Solaiman et al., 1992, Plasmid, 28:25-36). The gene construct is incorporated into the genome of a lactic acid bacterial species using homologous recombination techniques (Mollet et al., 1993, J. Bact., 175:4315-4324). The lactic acid bacteria and E. coli strains can be maintained as recommended by Maniatis et al. in Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, supra; and Chagnand et al., 1992, Can. J. Microbiol. 38:67-74.
Microorganisms comprising the polypeptide according to the present invention may be applied to food products in any conventional way. In the case of products such as milk, the bacteria or fungus can be mixed intimately with the food product that is to be fermented and frozen. It will be known by those of skill that mixtures of different microorganisms are sometimes used to produce the desired product. For example, in preparation of yogurt, S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus are often used together. The number of FAE microorganisms added to the food product will depend on the properties of the microorganisms and of the food. Generally, lactic acid FAE starter bacteria (1010 -1011 per ml) are incubated at 1-5% into pasteurized and cooled milk such that the proportion results in an appropriate amount of polypeptide according to the present invention in the product. The amount of AFP in the product should be an amount effective at preventing or inhibiting ice recrystallization (1-100 mg/liter milk).
This can be determined using the splat-cooling assay described by Knight et al. (1988) Cryobiology, vol. 25, pp. 55-60.
In another step of the method, the fermented food product is frozen using conventional freezer operations, such as blast freezers (-20 to 40°C) or contact plate freezers (-300 to 40°C) or vacuum freeze driers. It will be apparent to one of ordinary skill that numerous variations of the aforementioned embodiments are possible. Ice cream comprising the polypeptide according to the present invention
In another aspect, the present invention provides an ice cream product comprising a polypeptide according to the present invention. The ice cream product can also comprise an emulsifier system together with a polypeptide according to the present invention. This emulsifier system may be any system known by the skilled person. However, systems comprising mono esters of propane-1 ,2-diol and fatty acids, such as the ones described in US 2005/0163902 or WO 2008/064675, are particular preferred. In the ice cream manufactured as described herein below, the polypeptide according to the present invention may be added as a purified polypeptide, mixed with other ingredients during manufacture of the ice cream or the polypeptide according to the present invention may be present as a result of secretion from the microorganism used for fermenting the milk.
One way of manufacturing the ice cream according to the present invention is as follows.
In a first step a food intermediate is contacted with the above mentioned emulsifier system.
By the term "food intermediate" as used herein is meant a mixture of ingredients suitable for preparing the ice cream. Ingredients suitable for preparing ice cream may include water, fat such as milkfat or vegetable fat, milk solids not fat (MSNF), sweeteners, stabilisers, flavourings and colurings. Furthermore, the polypeptide according to the present invention may already be present in the milk solid, or it may be added to the mixture as a separate ingredient.
Preferably, the food intermediate comprises fat. Preferably the fat is a high lauric fat or milk fat. By the term "high lauric fat" is meant a fat in which the predominant fatty acid is lauric acid. High lauric fats, such as hardened palm kernel oil and hardened coconut oil, are β' stable. Hence, preferably the food intermediate comprises β' stable fats.
After the first contact step, the selected ingredients are mixed together. Typically the liquid ingredients are mixed together first and the dry ingredients are added subsequently. The liquid ingredients may be cold or may be heated to approximately 60°C. Blending requires rapid agitation to incorporate powders and often high speed blenders are used. If butter/butter oil or vegetable fat is used, it should ideally be melted separately and added to the mix at 40°C or via a static mixer at the entrance of the homogeniser by means of a dosing pump.
The mix is subsequently pasteurised. Pasteurisation is carried out to destroy pathogenic bacteria and spoilage organisms such as psychrotrophs. There are three distinct stages in pasteurization: pasteurization, homogenisation and cooling
Homogenisation of the mix is carried out in order to form the fat emulsion by breaking down or reducing the size of the fat globules found to less than 1 μηι.
Pasteurisation may be carried out by continuous pasteurisation or batch pasteurisation.
Today the most common pasteurisation principle applied is continuous pasteurisation where the ice cream mix is typically heated for a minimum of 16 seconds at a temperature ranging from 80-90°C in a plate heat exchanger. Continuous
pasteurisation is usually performed in a high temperature short time (HTST) heat exchanger following blending of ingredients in a large, insulated feed tank. Some preheating, to 30°C to 40°C, may be necessary for solubilisation of the components. The HTST system is equipped with heating sections, cooling sections, and
regenerative sections.
Batch pasteurisation is the old method where all mix ingredients are slowly heated in a vat equipped with a hot water jacket. In order to avoid fouling on the bottom and sides of the vat, the heating process has to be gentle with a low differential temperature (delta T) between the mix and the heating medium. As the delta T has to be low and the ratio of mix volume/vat surface is typically high, it will inevitably take several minutes just to heat the mix to a temperature of 60°C. Effective agitation of the mix is needed in order to improve the transfer of heat from the vat surface to the mix. Energy consumption for batch pasteurisation is very high and, unlike continuous
pasteurisation, there is no heat recovery.
Following pasteurisation, the mix is homogenised by means of high pressures.
Homogenisation typically takes place at a temperature of about 80°C. and the homogenisation pressure can be in the region of 90 bar (1300 psi) to 250 bar (3600 psi) at a temperature of 65-75°C. Batch tanks are usually operated in tandem so that one is holding while the other is being prepared. Automatic timers and valves ensure the proper holding time has been met.
Homogenisation can be carried out either before or after pasteurisation.
Subsequently the mix is cooled to refrigerated temperatures (4°C) by passing it across a heat exchanger (plate or double or triple tube).
The mixture is cooled to the aging temperature which is about 4°C. The mix is then aged for a minimum of four hours but preferably overnight. This allows time for the fat to crystallize and for the polypeptides and polysaccharides to fully hydrate. Following aging, the mix may be drawn into a flavour tank where any liquid flavours, fruit purees, or colours are added. The mix then enters the dynamic freezing process which both freezes a portion of the water and whips air into the frozen mix. Freezing may be carried out by a continuous freezing process or by batch freezing/whipping. Continuous freezing may be carried out in a barrel freezer. The barrel freezer is a scraped-surface, tubular heat exchanger, which is jacketed with a boiling refrigerant such as ammonia or freon. The mix is pumped through the barrel freezer and is drawn off the other end in about 30 seconds to 3 minutes. In the case of batch freezers the process takes 10 to 15 minutes. When the mix is drawn off the other end about 50% of its water is frozen. There are rotating blades inside the barrel freezer that keep the ice scraped off the surface of the freezer. There are also dashers inside the machine which help to whip the mix and incorporate air.
Ice cream contains a considerable quantity of air, typically up to half of its volume. This gives the product its characteristic lightness. The air content is termed its overrun. As the ice cream is drawn with about half of its water frozen, particulate matter such as fruit pieces, nuts or cookies, may be added to the semi-frozen slurry. The ice cream is then packaged and is placed into a blast freezer at -30° to -40°C where most of the remainder of the water is frozen.
Hardening involves static (still, quiescent) freezing of the packaged products in blast freezers. The freezing rate should ideally be rapid, so freezing techniques involve low temperature (-40°C) with either enhanced convection (freezing tunnels with forced air fans) or enhanced conduction (plate freezers).
Instead of a traditional hardening process the ice cream may be pumped from the ice cream freezer into a low temperature extruder (single or double screw extruder) which brings the temperature of the ice cream down to -12°C to -18°C. After filling or extrusion the ice cream may be taken directly into cold storage.
The hardened ice cream should be stored below -25°C. Below about -25°C, ice cream is quite stable for long time without danger of fast ice crystal growth. As previously mentioned, the process of the present invention comprises the step of contacting a food intermediate with an emulsifier system.
In one preferred embodiment, the process comprises the step of dissolving the emulsifier system in water. In this embodiment the emulsifier system may be dissolved in water and the food intermediate may then be contacted with water.
In one preferred embodiment, the process comprises the step of dissolving the emulsifier system in fat. In this embodiment the emulsifier system may be dissolved in fat and the food intermediate may then be contacted with fat.
In one preferred embodiment the process comprises a dynamic freezing step.
The term "dynamic freezing step" as defined herein means subjecting the food intermediate to freezing conditions whilst agitating the food intermediate. This is in contrast to a quiescent freezing step in which the food intermediate is subjected to freezing conditions whilst static.
In one preferred embodiment the process comprises a freezing step.
In one preferred embodiment the process comprises a freezing step with a drawing temperature from the freezer lower than -4°C. Preferably the drawing temperature from the freezer is about -4°C to -7°C, preferably about -5°C. to -7°C, more preferably about -5°C to -6°C, more preferably about -6°C. The drawing temperature is the temperature of the ice cream as it exits the ice cream freezer.
Aerated food products comprising the polypeptide according to the invention
The present invention also provides an aerated food product comprising a polypeptide according to the invention. Ice cream, sherbet, sorbet and frozen yoghurt can be mentioned as examples of food products, which may be characterized as aerated products.
The term "aerated" means that gas has been intentionally incorporated into a mix, for example by mechanical means. The gas can be any gas, but is preferably, in the context of food products, a food-grade gas such as air, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, or carbon dioxide. The aerated food products of the invention comprise a population of gas bubbles, wherein at least 65% of the gas bubbles have a diameter of less than 20 μΓΠ. Preferably at least 75%, more preferably at least 80% of the gas bubbles have a diameter of less than 20 μηι. Preferably at least 50%, more preferably at least 60%, most preferably at least 75% of the gas bubbles have a diameter of less than 10 μηι.
The extent of aeration is typically defined in terms of "overrun". In the context of the present invention, % overrun is defined in terms of the volume of the aerated product and the volume of the unaerated mix from which it was formed:
(Volume of final aerated product - volume of unaerated mixture) x 100
Overrun = Volume of unaerated mixture Overrun is measured at atmospheric pressure. The amount of overrun present in the product will vary depending on the desired product characteristics
Preferably the food product has an overrun of at least 20%, more preferably at least 50%, most preferably at least 80%. Preferably the food product has an overrun of at most 400%, more preferably at most 200%, most preferably at most 120%.
The aerated food product may be manufactured by use of any process known in the art, such as for example by use of the pre-aeration route, which is a process for producing aerated food products comprising a large proportion of small gas bubbles starting from an unaerated mix.
In the pre-aeration route, a mix (i.e. an aqueous solution and/or suspension) comprising the polypeptide according to the present invention and optionally other ingredients, is subjected to an aeration step. The aeration step must be of a sufficiently high "intensity" so that a large number of very small gas bubbles (less than 20 μηι in diameter) are created. The intensity of the aeration process depends on a number of factors, the most important of which are the rate of energy dissipation in the aeration step, the nature of the flow experienced by the mix and the gas bubbles in the aeration step, and the viscosity and temperature of the mix. In addition, the aeration step should be long enough to achieve the desired degree of aeration (i.e. overrun).
Mechanical aerating devices are often based on a rotor which shears the mix. The rate of energy dissipation is a function of the speed of rotation of the device. Generally speaking, a high rate of energy dissipation (and hence a high rotational speed) is required to produce small gas bubbles (see for example "Chemical Engineering for the Food Industry", Fryer, Pyle and Rielly, Blackie, London, 1997).
The effectiveness of the aeration step also depends on the nature of the flow in the aerating device. Aeration is normally achieved by initially incorporating relatively large gas bubbles which are subsequently broken up into smaller ones. Elongational flow or extensional flow is known to be particularly effective at breaking up large gas bubbles, compared to simple shear flow (see e.g. Rallinson, J. M. Ann. Rev. Fluid Mech. 16, pp 45-66, 1984). Suitable high shear aeration processes and devices that can provide at least a component of elongational flow include: continuous whipping in a rotor-stator device such as an Oakes mixer (E.T. Oakes Corp), a Megatron mixer (Kinematica AG), a Mondo mixer (Haas-Mondomix BV) or a Silverson mixer (Silverson Machines Inc.); gas injection followed by mixing and dispersion in a continuous flow device such as a scraped surface heat exchanger; and batch whipping involving surface entrainment of gas, using e.g. a Hobart whisk mixer (Hobart UK), Kenwood Chef mixer (Kenwood Ltd), Ultra-Turrax mixer (IKA Werke GmbH & Co. KG) or an electrical hand-held mixer, for example a Breville kitchen hand blender.
The effectiveness of the aeration step also depends on the viscosity and/or the temperature of the mix. By increasing the viscosity and/or lowering the temperature of the mix, the size reducing effect of the aeration device on the gas bubbles is increased. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the aeration step also depends on the formulation of the mix. Although the effectiveness of the aeration step depends on the specific details of the process and apparatus used and the mix being aerated, it is within the compass of one skilled in the art to determine the appropriate process conditions in any particular situation, by considering the factors described above. In particular, the proportion of very small gas bubbles can be increased by increasing the energy dissipated and/or by increasing the elongational flow component and/or by increasing the viscosity of the mix and/or by lowering the temperature of the mix.
The aerated mixture may optionally be subjected to freezing during and/or after aeration, for example if the final product is to be a frozen aerated product such as an ice cream or a sorbet. Freezing may take place simultaneously with aeration, for example in a scraped surface heat exchanger. Simultaneous freezing and aeration can aid the formation of small gas bubbles because of the increase in the mix viscosity as ice forms. When freezing takes place after aeration, it is preferably carried out so that little or no further gas is incorporated.
The ice content may be increased further by subsequent freezing operations, such as low-temperature extrusion, placing the aerated mixture in a mould immersed in a bath of cold liquid such as brine or glycol, dropping portions of the aerated mixture directly into a bath of cryogenic fluid such as liquid nitrogen or placing a container comprising the aerated mixture into a cold environment such as a freezer, blast freezer or cold store. The subsequent freezing step is preferably carried out at low or zero shear so that little or no further gas is incorporated.
In addition to a polypeptide according to the invention, the aerated food products of the invention (and the mixtures from which they are made) may comprise other ingredients conventionally found in food products, such as fats, milk or cream; oil or fat, notably in the form of an emulsified phase; sugars, salt, fruit and/or vegetable material, extract, juice, thickeners, such as polysaccharides, stabilisers, colours, flavours, chemical emulsifiers, such as monoglycerides; acids and preservatives. Preferred food products include ice cream, sorbet, mousse, whipped cream, aerated beverages such as milk shakes and smoothies, low-fat spreads (e.g. having a fat content of 0-60 wt %), dressings and sauces. Preferably the food product is a frozen or chilled aerated confection such as ice cream, sorbet or mousse. Frozen aerated confections of the invention comprise the polypeptide according to the present invention and optionally one or more anti-freeze polypeptides other than the polypeptide according to the invention. In aerated products the amount of the total of anti-freeze polypeptides is typically at least about 0.0001 wt %, more preferably at least 0.0005 wt %, most preferably at least 0.001 wt %. Anti-freeze polypeptides can be used at very low concentrations and therefore preferably the confections comprise less than 0.05 wt % Anti-freeze polypeptides. A preferred range is from about 0.001 to 0.01 wt %. Anti freeze polypeptides can be used individually or in combination with other anti freeze polypeptides known in the area. Frozen aerated products may optionally comprise coatings, such as a layer of chocolate or couverture and/or inclusions, such as nuts, fruit, toffee or chocolate pieces. In this case, the fat content of the frozen aerated confection does not include fat present in the coating or inclusion. In one embodiment, the frozen aerated confection comprises 3 wt % or less fat, preferably 2 wt % or less, more preferably 1 wt % or less. In a preferred embodiment, the confection is fat-free, which means that the confection comprises substantially no fat (i.e. less than 0.1 wt %). Aerated food products comprising the polypeptide according to the invention together with hydrophobin and a surfactant
The present invention also provides a frozen aerated food product, such as a confection, comprising a polypeptide according to the invention together with hydrophobin and a surfactant. Preferably the aerated food product comprises a population of gas bubbles, wherein at least 65% of the gas bubbles have a diameter of less than 20 μηι.
The amount of hydrophobin present in the frozen aerated confection will generally vary depending on the confection formulation and volume of the air phase. Typically, the confection will comprise at least 0.001 wt %, hydrophobin, more preferably at least 0.005 or 0.01 wt %. Typically the confection will comprise less than 1 wt %
hydrophobin. The hydrophobin can be from a single source or a plurality of sources e.g. the hydrophobin can be a mixture of two or more different hydrophobin
polypeptides.
The hydrophobin is added in a form and in an amount such that it is available to stabilise the air phase. By the term "added", is meant that the hydrophobin is deliberately introduced into the confection for the purpose of taking advantage of its foam stabilising properties. Consequently, where ingredients are present or added that comprise fungal contaminants, which may comprise hydrophobin polypeptides, this does not constitute adding hydrophobin within the context of the present invention.
Typically, the hydrophobin is added to the confection in a form such that it is capable of self-assembly at an air-liquid surface.
Typically, the hydrophobin is added to the confections of the invention in an isolated form, typically at least partially purified, such as at least 10% pure, based on weight of solids. By "added in isolated form", is meant that the hydrophobin is not added as part of a naturally-occurring organism, such as a mushroom, which naturally expresses hydrophobins. Instead, the hydrophobin will typically either have been extracted from a naturally-occurring source or obtained by recombinant expression in a host organism.
In one embodiment, the hydrophobin is added to the confection in monomeric, dimeric and/or oligomeric (i.e. consisting of 10 monomeric units or fewer) form. Preferably at least 50 wt % of the added hydrophobin is in at least one of these forms, more preferably at least 75, 80, 85 or 90 wt %. Once added, the hydrophobin will typically undergo assembly at the air, liquid interface and therefore the amount of monomer, dimer and oligomer would be expected to decrease.
The term "surfactant" (or "surface active agent") as used herein means a substance which lowers the surface tension of the medium in which it is dissolved and, accordingly, positively adsorbs at the liquid/vapour interfaces. The term includes sparingly soluble substances which lower the surface tension of a liquid by spreading spontaneously over its surface. In the context of the present invention, the term "surfactant" does not include hydrophobins.
The term "surfactant" does not include trace quantities of surface active components that may be present in very small amounts in another (non-surface active) ingredient, for example stabilisers such as pectins, locust bean gum, and guar gum. In such cases, the amount of surfactant would normally be less than 0.05% by weight of the food product. The surfactant is typically an ingredient which is used in aerated food products because of its beneficial effect on taste and/or texture. Such surfactants include (but are not limited to):
milk polypeptides such as caseins, whey (and their polypeptide fractions), sodium caseinate, calcium caseinate, and hydrolysed whey polypeptides;
other polypeptides such as gelatine, egg polypeptides, and soy polypeptide;
mono- and di-glycerides of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, e.g.
monoglyceryl palmitate;
polyoxyethylene derivatives of hexahydric alcohols (usually sorbitol), glycols, glycol esters, polyglycerol esters, sorbitan esters, stearoyl lactylate, acetic acid esters, lactic acid esters, citric acid esters, acetylated monoglyceride, diacetyl tartaric acid esters, polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters (such as polysorbate 80);
non-ionic surfactants such as alkyl poly(ethylene oxide), fatty alcohols, and sucrose esters; phospholipids and mixtures of phospholipids (e.g. lecithin); and mixtures of any the above.
Preferably the surfactant is present in an amount of at least 0.05% by weight of the product, more preferably at least 0.1 %. Preferably the surfactant is a polypeptide, more preferably milk polypeptide, and is present in an amount of at least 0.5% by weight of the food product, more preferably at least 1 %. Preferably the surfactant is present in an amount of at most 20% by weight of the food product, more preferably at most 10%, most preferably at most 5%.
The aerated food products according to the present invention may be produced by use of the "pre-aeration" route (disclosed above in further detail), which is a process for producing aerated food products comprising a large proportion of small gas bubbles starting from an unaerated mix comprising hydrophobin and surfactant. Another route, termed "post-addition" provides a process whereby the surfactant is added after aeration.
The post-addition route provides a way in which the amount of hydrophobin can be increased in relation to the amount of surfactant at the point at which the bubbles are formed whilst it remains unchanged in the final product, by adding the surfactant after aeration has taken place. Thus a mix comprising hydrophobin but not surfactant is aerated; subsequently a second mix comprising the surfactant is combined with the aerated mix. The second mix is formulated so that the combined mixes give the desired final product formulation. A mixing step may be used to improve the homogeneity of the combined mixes. The mixing step is preferably carried out at relatively low shear and for short times so that little or no further gas is incorporated (i.e. the overrun does not increase by more than 10% during the mixing step). Suitable mixing devices include: static mixers; in-line dynamic mixers such as an auger, blender or fruit-feeder; and batch mixing devices, such as a stirred vessel. In a batch process, the second
(surfactant-comprising) mix would typically be injected near the end of the processing period. The mixing step could also take place in a continuous process, for example in a scraped surface heat exchanger or screw extruder by injecting the second mix into the barrel of the scraped surface heat exchanger or screw extruder close to the point at which the product exits. The aerated mixture may optionally be subjected to freezing during and/or after aeration, for example if the final product is to be a frozen aerated product such as an ice cream or a sorbet. Freezing may take place simultaneously with aeration, for example in a scraped surface heat exchanger. Simultaneous freezing and aeration can aid the formation of small gas bubbles because of the increase in the mix viscosity as ice forms. When freezing takes place after aeration, it is preferably carried out so that little or no further gas is incorporated. When the surfactant is added after aeration (i.e. the post-addition route) freezing may take place before and/or during the mixing step. The surfactant stream may be chilled or partially frozen before mixing.
Frozen water confections comprising the polypeptide according to the present invention
Typically, frozen water confections are relatively small, for example having an average volume of less than 1 ml, more preferably less than 0.5 ml. By way of example, beads having a diameter of from 5 mm to 10 mm would have a volume of from about 0.065 ml to about 0.5 ml. Typically the discrete frozen confections have a minimum average volume such that each confection can be readily distinguished by a consumer. For example, the discrete frozen confection preferably has a minimum average volume of at least about 0.02 ml.
The discrete frozen water confections may be made to any shape, such as in the form of cubes or spheres. Preferably, the frozen confections are substantially spherical.
The frozen water confections may be in the form of a composite product where at least one portion or region of the product, such as a core or layer, does not contain the polypeptide according to the present invention. An example of this would be a product containing a core of ice cream which lacks the polypeptide according to the present invention, coated in a layer of water ice that does contain the polypeptide according to the present invention. Preferably, substantially the outer layer of the composition confection comprises the polypeptide according to the present invention, i.e. the region which will come into contact with other discrete frozen confections. It will be
appreciated that in the case of a composite product, the wt % amount of the
polypeptide according to the present invention added to the confection is calculated solely in relation to those components of the confection that contain the polypeptide according to the present invention and not in relation to the complete product. Frozen water confections may be aerated or unaerated. By unaerated is meant a frozen confection having an overrun of less then 20%, preferably less than 10%. An unaerated frozen confection is not subjected to deliberate steps such as whipping to increase the gas content. Nonetheless, it will be appreciated that during the preparation of unaerated frozen confections, low levels of gas, such as air, may be incorporated in the product.
Water ice confections typically contain sugar, water, colour, fruit acid or other acidifying agent, fruit or fruit flavouring and stabiliser. Preferably, the total solids content is at least 6 wt %, more preferably at least 8 wt % or at least 10, 12, 15 or 20 wt % and may be as high as about 35 wt %. Preferably the total solids content is less then 35 wt %, more preferably less than 25 wt %. Water ices may be aerated or unaerated. If aerated, the overrun is typically less than about 50%, for example from about 25% to 30%. In one embodiment, the water ice confections of the invention are unaerated.
Preferably the water ice confections comprise less than 2 wt % artificial sweeteners, more preferably less than 1 wt %. In a highly preferred embodiment, no artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame or acesulfame are present in the water ice confections.
Frozen water confections of the invention typically comprise one or more stabiliser, such as one or more stabilisers selected from gums, agar, alginates and derivatives thereof, gelatin, pectin, lecithin, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, carrageenan and furcelleran. Preferably a blend of stabilisers is used, such as blend of a gum and carrageenan. In a preferred embodiment, the frozen confection comprises from 0.1 to 1 wt % stabiliser.
Frozen water confections of the invention typically comprise at least about 0.0005 wt % of the polypeptide according to the present invention. The polypeptides according to the present invention can be used at very low concentrations and therefore preferably the confections comprise less than 0.05 wt % of the polypeptide according to the present invention. A preferred range is from about 0.001 to 0.01 wt %.
Frozen water confections of the invention can be manufactured using a number of techniques known in the art. For example, free-flowing beads can be manufactured by dispensing drops of the liquid mix into a freezing chamber of liquid nitrogen (see W096/29896). Other shapes can be manufactured by moulding techniques, for example by introducing a liquid premix into a cooled mould. Moulded products may contain complex shapes and have a high degree of surface definition.
Ice cream-containing products and the like need not be subjected to a cold hardening step of below from -20°C to -25°C, although this may be used if desired, especially if the product is a composite product with a layer or core that does not contain the polypeptide according to the present invention.
The frozen water confectionery product of the invention may be packaged in containers for sale to consumers as an individual unit. The volume of such containers is typically from 100 ml to 1000 ml, such as from 200 ml to 500 ml. However, the product can also be packaged in larger containers for retail purposes where the product is dispensed into smaller containers at the retail premises, e.g. in fast food outlets or as a pick 'n' mix format where consumers can choose from frozen confections of the invention having different shapes, flavours and/or colours. These larger containers may, for example, have a volume greater than about 1000 ml, for example at least 2000 ml or 5000 ml.
Discrete frozen dairy confection comprising the polypeptide according to the present invention
The present invention also provides a frozen confectionary product comprising a plurality of discrete unaerated dairy frozen confection being able to contact directly other discrete frozen confections in the product.
Ice confections are sweet-tasting fabricated foodstuffs intended for consumption in the frozen state (i.e. under conditions wherein the temperature of the foodstuff is less than 0°C, and preferably under conditions wherein the foodstuff comprises significant amounts of ice). Ice confections of the present invention comprise from 1 to 8 wt % fat and have a total solids content of from 10 to 25 wt %. These amounts of fat and total solids, in combination with a water-soluble aerating gas and the polypeptide according to the present invention, result in products having both the desired texture and appearance. Typical water ice formulations (which do not contain fat) and standard ice cream formulations (which have a total solids content of at least about 30 wt %) do not fall within the definition of discrete frozen dairy confection.
The ice confections of the present invention preferably comprise from 2 to 6 wt %, more preferably from 2.5 to 5 wt % fat. The fat may come from any suitable source, such as for example butterfat, coconut oil, palm oil, cocoa butter, sunflower oil, olive oil or rapeseed oil, and mixtures or fractions thereof.
The total solids content of an ice confection is the dry weight of the confection, i.e. the sum of the weights of all the ingredients other than water, expressed as a percentage of the total weight. It is measured as described in Ice Cream, 6th Edition, p 296. The ice confections of the present invention have a total solids content of from 10 to 25 wt % of the ice confection. Preferably the total solids content is at least 12%, more preferably at least 15%, most preferably at least 18%. Preferably the total solids content is at most 24% more preferably at most 22%.
Ice confections according to the present invention contain ice. Since the total solids content is from 10 to 25 wt %, the water content is correspondingly from 90 to 75 wt %. At a temperature of - 18°C most, but not all, of the water is frozen.
Ice confections of the invention typically comprise at least about 0.0001 wt % of the polypeptide according to the present invention, more preferably at least 0.0005 wt %. The polypeptides according to the present invention can be used at very low
concentrations and therefore preferably the confections comprise less than 0.05 wt % of the polypeptide according to the present invention. A preferred range is from about 0.001 to 0.01 wt %, more preferably from 0.005 to 0.01 wt %.
An aerating agent refers to any component which because of its surface activity and/or the viscosity it imparts, aids the formation of small gas bubbles and resists their coalescence or separation. The aerating agent is to be understood not to include the aerating gas. Preferably the aerating agent is a polypeptide-based aerating agent, for example a hydrolysed milk polypeptide such as Hygel™ and Hyfoama™ (available from Kerry Biosciences); or a hydrolysed soya polypeptide such as Versawhip (available from Kerry Biosciences) and D-100TM (available from Gunter Industries). Alternatively, the aerating agent may be non-protein-based, for example a monoglyceride, such as Myverol 18-04K (a distilled 95% monoglyceride prepared from vegetable oils, available from Quest International), or a polyglycerol ester, such as PGE 55 (a polyglycerol ester of fatty acids, available from Danisco). The amount of aerating agent in the confection is at least 0.1 wt %, preferably at least 0.15 wt %.
Preferably the amount of aerating agent is less than 0.5 wt %, preferably less than 0.4 wt %, more preferably less than 0.25 wt %.
Ice confections of the invention may comprise stabiliser. Stabilisers include
polypeptides such as gelatin; plant extrudates such as gum arabic, gum ghatti, gum karaya, gum tragacanth; seed gums such as locust bean gum, guar gum, tara gum, psyyllium seed gum, quince seed gum or tamarind seed gum; konjac mannan;
seaweed extracts such as agar, alganates, carrageenan or furcelleran; pectins such as low methoxyl or high methoxyl-type pectins; cellulose derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, methyl and methylethyl celluloses, or hydroxylpropyl and hydroxypropylmethyl celluloses; and microbial gums such as dextran, xanthan or β-1 ,3-glucan. The stabiliser may be a single stabiliser, or a mixture of two or more stabilisers. Preferably, the stabiliser is locust bean gum. The amount of stabiliser is preferably at most 0.3 wt %, more preferably at most 0.25 wt %. For example, the amount of stabiliser is typically from 0 to 0.2 wt %.
Ice confections of the invention may contain polypeptide (in addition to any polypeptide based aerating agent), preferably in an amount of at least 1 wt %, more preferably at least 1.5 wt %. Ice confections containing at least this amount of polypeptide are perceived as milk ice-type products and are more attractive to many consumers than substantially polypeptide-free ice confections. Preferably the polypeptide content is less than 8 wt %, more preferably less than 6 wt %, most preferably less than 3 wt %.
Suitable polypeptides for use in the present invention include milk polypeptides, egg polypeptides and gelatine as well as vegetable polypeptides such as soya
polypeptides. Particularly preferred are milk polypeptides owing to their superior flavour and heat stability. Suitable sources of milk polypeptide include milk, concentrated milk, milk powders, whey, whey powders and whey polypeptide concentrates isolates. Ice confections of the invention typically comprise sugars e.g. sucrose, fructose, dextrose, lactose, corn syrups, sugar alcohols; they may also contain other ingredients, for example colours and flavours. The ice confection preferably has an overrun of at least 20%, more preferably at least 40%, most preferably at least 60%. Preferably the overrun is at most 150%, more preferably at most 120%, most preferably at most 120%.
"Mix" refers to the unaerated mix prior to aeration (or following de-aeration of the melted ice confection). Overrun is measured at atmospheric pressure.
The ice confection containing of the invention may constitute an entire product or may be a component of a composite product. In a composite product the ice confection of the invention provides contrast in texture and appearance to the other component(s) of the product. Preferably such composite products contain the ice confection as a discrete element in their structure. For example, a relatively soft ice cream core can be coated with a layer of the ice confection to provide a hard, crispy layer surrounding the ice cream core. Another example is the incorporation of the ice confection as inclusions. Alternatively the ice confection may be provided with a continuous or partial coating of, for example, a water glaze, a non-aerated water ice or chocolate on at least one surface. In a composite product the determination of the total solids and the fat, aerating agent, ice structuring polypeptide, stabiliser, and polypeptides contents takes into account only the ice confection, and not other components of the composite product.
Discrete frozen dairy confection comprising the polypeptide according to the present invention may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art. Preferably, however, the discrete frozen dairy confection is manufactured by the method comprising the steps of:
(a) preparing a mix of ingredients; then
(b) pasteurising and homogenising the mix; then
(c) adding the polypeptide according to the present invention
(d) simultaneously freezing and aerating the mix with an aerating gas which contains at least 50% by volume of a carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide or mixtures thereof to produce the ice confection (for example in an ice cream freezer); (e) cold hardening the ice confection, wherein step (c) may take place before, during or after step (b).
The mix is aerated with a gas containing at least about 50% by volume of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide or mixtures thereof, preferably at least about 70%, more preferably 100%. The remainder of the aerating gas will typically be a nitrogen- containing gas such as air. Most preferably the aerating gas is 100% carbon dioxide.
After freezing, the resulting ice confection may be shaped e.g. by extrusion followed by cutting or by moulding, prior to the cold hardening step. Preferably the ice confection is extruded at a temperature of from 4° to -1.5°C, more preferably from -2.5 to -1.5°C. Relatively high extrusion temperatures result in a particularly good foam-like appearance. Preferably the cold hardening step takes place at a temperature of about -25°C or below, for example by blast freezing. After cold hardening, the ice confections are preferably stored at a temperature in the range of -25 to -10°C, typically about -18°C.
Low fat dairy products comprising the polypeptide according to the invention The present invention also provides a frozen, low fat dairy product. Frozen dairy confections are confections that typically contain milk or milk solids, such as ice cream, milk ice, frozen yogurt and sherbet. The term "milk" includes milk substitutes such as soya milk, although mammalian milk is preferred. Preferably the frozen dairy confection is an ice cream or milk ice.
The low fat product of the present invention preferably comprises 3 wt % or less fat, preferably 2 wt % or less, more preferably less than 2 wt %, or 1 wt % or less. In one embodiment, the product is fat-free, which means that the product comprises substantially no fat (i.e. less than 0.1 wt %). Where the product is coated with a non- dairy composition such as a chocolate or couverture layer, the determination of fat content for the product should disregard the coating.
Frozen confections containing milk preferably contain at least about 3 wt % milk solid non-fat (MSNF), more preferably from about 5 wt % to about 25 wt % MSNF. Stabilisers may be present in the frozen products of the invention although it should be noted that the stabilising effects of the polypeptides according to the present invention can allow for stabiliser replacement in some cases. However, significant levels of stabilisers may still be required, in addition to polypeptides according to the present invention, in some product formulations, such as very low fat products with less than 1 wt % fat, to produce the desired product stability. Nonetheless, the resulting products are improved over previous products because the polypeptide according to the present invention reduces or ameliorates the deleterious effects of the stabilisers on texture and taste.
Suitable stabilisers include alginates, gelatin, gum acacia, guar gum, gum karaya, locust bean gum, carageenan and salts thereof, xanthan gum, microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose ethers or mixtures thereof. The amount of stabiliser is preferably 1.5% or less by weight, more preferably 1 % or less by weight such as from 0.1 to 0.8 wt %.
In one embodiment, the product comprises at least 0.5 wt % stabilisers, such as at least 0.7 wt % stabilisers. Preferably the level of fat in such a product is less than 2 or 1 wt %. In another embodiment the product comprises less than 0.5 wt % stabilisers. Preferably the level of fat in such as product is at least 1 wt % or more, more preferably at Ieast 2 wt %.
Frozen confections of the invention typically comprise at least about 0.0001 wt % of the polypeptide according to the present invention, more preferably at least 0.0005 wt %. The polypeptides according to the present invention can be used at very low concentrations and therefore preferably the confections comprise less than 0.05 wt % polypeptide according to the present invention. A preferred range is from about 0.001 to 0.01 wt %, more preferably from 0.005 to 0.01 wt %. The frozen confections may be aerated or unaerated, preferably aerated. By unaerated is meant a frozen confection having an overrun of less then 20%, preferably less than 10%. An unaerated frozen confection is not subjected to deliberate steps such as whipping to increase the gas content. Nonetheless, it will be appreciated that during the preparation of unaerated frozen confections, low levels of gas, such as air, may be incorporated in the product. The amount of overrun present in an aerated product will vary depending on the desired product characteristics. For example, the level of overrun in ice cream is typically from about 70 to 100%, and in confectionery such as mousses the overrun can be as high as 200 to 250 wt %, whereas the overrun in milk ices is from 25 to 30%. Aerated frozen confections preferably have an overrun of from 30% to 200%, more preferably from 50% to 150%.
Frozen confections of the invention can be manufactured using a variety of techniques known in the art. Products are typically frozen quiescently or using agitation, such as in a surface-scraped heat exchanger. Products may be moulded. Products may contain complex shapes and have a high degree of surface definition since the addition of the polypeptide according to the present invention preserves the stability of such shapes and structures.
The polypeptides according to the present invention can be added prior to, during or after freezing of the product. If added after freezing, this will take place whilst the product is still plastic so that the polypeptide according to the present invention can be mixed e.g. after extrusion from a surface-scraped heat exchanger and prior to hardening. Ice cream products and the like can be subjected to an optional cold hardening step of below from -20°C to -25°C.
The present invention also encompasses compositions for producing a low fat frozen confectionery product of the invention, which composition comprises the polypeptide according to the present invention, preferably at least 0.005 wt % of the polypeptide according to the present invention. Such compositions include liquid premixes and dry mixes, for example powders, to which an aqueous liquid, such as milk or water, is added. Frozen food products designed for thawing in a microwave, said products comprising the polypeptide according to the present invention
Freezing is a very common technique for preserving food. With certain notable exceptions, frozen food is usually thawed prior to use or further processing (e.g., cooking). Thawing is accomplished satisfactorily by leaving the frozen food product to stand at ambient temperature. However, even on a domestic scale, the length of time taken to accomplish satisfactory thawing is considerable. Thawing is also
accomplished on an industrial scale by the application of conductive or convective heat to the frozen food product. However, the apparatus needed to accomplish such thawing is not readily available to the consumer.
Microwave ovens are increasingly widespread in both an industrial and domestic context. One of their uses is in the thawing of frozen food. Microwave thawing is more rapid than thawing at ambient temperature. It still suffers from a number of
disadvantages:
■ the low thermal diffusivity of frozen food necessitates the use of pulsed
microwaves to allow temperature equilibrium to be established;
liquid water absorbs microwave energy much more readily than ice, tending to result in "hotspots" and uneven thawing;
the geometry of the food item with regard to size and shape must be suitable; ■ because of the necessity of using only intermittent microwave pulses, the time to thaw a food item completely is considerable.
It has been found that if a composition comprising a mesophase of water, emulsifier and the polypeptide according to the present invention is incorporated into a food product and if at least an amount of the water is present as unfrozen water in the frozen food product, an improved product is obtained.
The word mesophases herein includes both layered structures and traditional mesophases i.e. lamellar, cubic, hexagonal (1 and 2), L2 and L1 and also dispersed mesophases i.e. liposomes, cubosomes and hexosomes. Additionally, it includes the formation of micelles, which will also form such surfaces.
It has been found that the above described frozen food product may be thawed uniformly and rapidly by the application of direct microwave energy, without the necessity of using intermittent or pulsed microwaves.
It is believed that the ability of the systems of the present invention to maintain a proportion of unfrozen water when present in a frozen food product is due to the ability of the compositions to form mesophases. Mesophases are structures where the polar emulsifier and water are organised in a well-defined structure according to their polarity. The polar end group of the emulsifier is in contact with the water phase or phases. A number of different mesophase structures are believed to exist. The water close to the polar end group of the emulsifier is organised in such a way that it is protected from freezing.
The ratio of water to emulsifier in the composition of the invention will depend on the emulsifier used, and the particular application of the composition. It has been found that for any particular emulsifier/water system, the amount of liquid water present below 0°C ("unfrozen water") tends to increase with the proportion of water up to a maximum. Up to this maximum point, it is thought that substantially all the water in the system is unfrozen. Beyond this point, a fixed amount of the water present is unfrozen, with the balance frozen.

More preferably, the composition comprises less than 5% w/w of oil. More preferably, the composition comprises less than 1 % w/w of oil.

Other components may also be present in the compositions of the invention, provided that they do not affect the ability to retain at least an amount of unfrozen water when present in a frozen food product.
An example of a technique of bringing into association is mixing. Mixing of water with the polypeptide according to the invention and an emulsifier may be achieved by any one of a number of means that will be apparent to one skilled in the art. Mixing in an electric mixer is one example.
If ingredients additional to polypeptide according to the invention, an emulsifier and water are present in the composition, then these may be incorporated at any appropriate stage. Preferably, the food product comprises an amount of the composition sufficient that the amount of unfrozen water present in the food product as a whole enables uniform and rapid microwave thawing. In practice, this equates to an amount of at least 0.1 % w/w of unfrozen water present in the food product as a whole. The usage level will depend on the specific food product, the application and how much water that will be needed to preserve the food texture after freezing.
An amount of non frozen water as low as around 0.1 % of the total product gives a product that rapidly and uniformly thaws when heated in a microwave oven. This even thawing results in food products with improved textural properties. To obtain 0.1 % of unfrozen water according to this invention takes approximately 0.20% of PGE. The exact amount of emulsifier will depend on the nature of the emulsifier, and may readily be determined by one skilled in the art. For example, 0.14% of Dimodan® MO90 or 0.14% of Grindsted® PGE O70 (Danisco, Denmark) will produce the same effects.

The mode of application of the composition of the invention to the food product will depend on the nature of the food product in question. For instance, if the food product is liquid or semiliquid at ambient temperature, the composition may be incorporated simply by mixing it with the food product.
In some embodiments of the invention, the water, the polypeptide according to the invention and emulsifier may be added to the food product separately. Water may be added followed by the polypeptide according to the invention and emulsifier;

In one aspect, the undesirable skin conditions may include skin inflammation, pigmentation disorders, symptoms of extrinsic and intrinsic skin aging and/or skin damage caused by UV radiation.
In the technical filed of cosmetic and dermatologic preparations, the term "anti-freezing polypeptides" is used to describe polypeptides that enable an organism, even under extreme temperature conditions, to keep important cell structures functionally active. In view of their function, "anti-freezing polypeptides" in this sense also represent "frost- protection compounds" on a cellular level. It was not foreseeable for those of skill in the art that the preparations according to the present invention protect better against structural and cellular damage in the skin due to cold better maintain or restore the barrier properties of the skin better combat drying out of the skin act better against dyschromia act better against inflammatory skin conditions act better against skin aging, and better protect the skin against
environmental influences than the preparations of the prior art.

temperature-sensitive skin, negative changes in the skin, the lips and the mucous membranes in the nose and mouth area and the integumentary appendage caused by environmental stress (caused by temperature changes and UV light, smoking, smog, reactive oxygen species, free radicals).
The use of the polypeptide according to the present invention optionally together with additional AFP and/or AFGP or the use of cosmetic or topical dermatological preparations with an effective content of the polypeptide according to the present invention optionally together with additional AFP and/or AFGP is an effective treatment as well as a prophylaxis of deficient, sensitive or hypoactive skin conditions or deficient, sensitive or hypoactive conditions of integumentary appendages of signs of premature aging of the skin (e.g., wrinkles, senile keratoses, telangiectases) and/or of the integumentary appendages, of environmentally induced (smoking, smog, reactive oxygen species, free radicals) and in particular light-induced negative changes in the skin and the integumentary appendages, of light-induced skin damage, of pigmentation disorders, of sensitive, irritated and itchy skin, of dry skin conditions and disorders of the horny layer barrier, of hair loss and for improved hair growth, signs of skin aging, such as, e.g., wrinkles and reduced skin regeneration, of inflammatory skin conditions, and atopic eczema, seborrhoeic eczema, polymorphous photodermatosis, psoriasis, vitiligo, to sooth sensitive or irritated skin, to stimulate the synthesis of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin, changes of the normal hyaluronic acid and
glycosaminoglycan content of healthy skin, to stimulate the ceramide synthesis of the skin to stimulate intracellular DNA synthesis, in particular in cases of deficient or hypoactive skin conditions, to increase cell renewal and regeneration of the skin, to increase the skin's own protective and repair mechanisms (for example, for
dysfunctional enzymes, DNA, lipids, polypeptides), reduction in cell-cell communication deficient, sensitive or hypoactive skin conditions or deficient, sensitive or hypoactive conditions of skin appendages, a change in the ceramide, lipid and energy metabolism of healthy skin, changes in lipid and polypeptide peroxidation, a change in the physiological transepidermal water loss, a reduction in skin hydration, normal osmoregulation and decrease in the moisture content of the skin, change in the natural moisturizing factor content, DNA damage and reduction in endogenous DNA repair mechanisms, activation of metalloproteinases and/or other proteases or inhibition of the corresponding endogenous inhibitors of these enzymes, deviations from the normal post-translational modifications of connective tissue constituents of healthy skin, dandruff formation in the hair and hair region, brittleness of the skin, loss of elasticity and skin fatigue, increase in the normal keratinocyte proliferation, reduction of the natural regeneration and structure of the skin and hair for pre- and post-treatment in cases of topical application of laser and abrasive treatments, which serve, for example, to reduce skin wrinkles and scars, to counteract the resulting skin irritations and to promote the regeneration processes in the damaged skin.
Accordingly, the use of the polypeptide according to the present invention optionally together with additional AFPs and/or AFGPs for the prophylaxis and treatment of inflammatory skin conditions-also atopical eczema-and/or for skin protection in the case of skin predisposed to be sensitive and dry is also in accordance with the invention. Accordingly, the use of cosmetic or dermatological preparations for the production of cosmetic or dermatological preparations for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of pigmentation disorders is also in accordance with the invention.
Accordingly, the use of preparations for the production of cosmetic or dermatological preparations for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of the symptoms of intrinsic and/or extrinsic skin aging and for the treatment and prophylaxis of harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation on the skin is also according to the invention.
Hence, the use of the polypeptide according to the present invention optionally together with additional AFPs and/or AFGPs for the production of cosmetic or dermatological preparations for increasing ceramide biosynthesis is also an aspect of the invention.
Furthermore, the use of AFPs and/or AFGPs for the production of cosmetic or dermatological preparations for strengthening the barrier function of the skin is yet another aspect of the invention. Cosmetic or dermatological preparations according to the present invention preferably contain from 0.0001 % to 50% by weight, particularly preferably from 0.01 % to 10% by weight, of the cited the polypeptide according to the present invention optionally together with additional AFPs and/or AFGPs or a combination of two or more of the cited AFPs and/or AFGPs, based on the total weight of the preparations.

The amount of the antioxidants (one or more compounds) in the preparations is preferably from 0.001 % to 30% by weight, particularly preferably from 0.05% to 20% by weight, particularly preferred from 1 % to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparation.
In addition, it may be advantageous to encapsulate the active ingredients according to the invention, as so-called solid lipid nanoparts using molten waxes, which may be chosen, inter alia, but not exclusively, from ester waxes, triglyceride waxes or hydrocarbon waxes. In addition, it may be advantageous to encapsulate the active ingredients according to the invention in polymers, e.g., in particles based on highly crosslinked polymethacrylates and/or cellulose triacetates and/or as core/shell particles with a shell made of poly(oxymethylurea), nylon, polyamides, polyurethane, polyester, gelatin and polyolefins.
The prophylaxis or the cosmetic or dermatological treatment with the active ingredient used according to the invention or with the cosmetic or topical dermatological preparations having an effective content of active ingredient used according to the invention may be carried out in the usual manner, by applying the active ingredient used according to the invention or the cosmetic or topical dermatological preparations having an effective content of active ingredient used according to the invention to the affected areas of the skin.
The active ingredient used according to the invention can advantageously be incorporated into customary cosmetic and dermatological preparations which may assume various forms. Thus, they may, for example, be a solution, an emulsion of the water-in-oil (W/O) type or of the oil-in-water (O/W) type, or a multiple emulsion, for example of the water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) type or oil-in-water-in-oil (0/W/O) type, a hydrodispersion or lipodispersion, a gel, a Pickering emulsion, a solid stick or an aerosol.
Emulsions according to the invention for the purposes of the present invention, e.g., in the form of a cream, a lotion, a cosmetic milk, and a stick, are advantageous and may comprise, for example, fats, oils, waxes and/or other fatty substances, and water and one or more emulsifiers as are customarily used for this type of formulation.
It is also possible and advantageous for the purposes of the present invention to incorporate the active ingredient used in accordance with the present invention into aqueous systems or surfactant preparations for cleansing and treating the skin and the hair.
One of skill in the art is, of course, aware that demanding cosmetic compositions are almost inconceivable without the customary auxiliaries and additives. Examples thereof include builders, fillers, perfume, dyes, emulsifiers, additional active ingredients, such as vitamins or polypeptides, light protection agents, stabilizers, insect repellents, alcohol, water, salts, and antimicrobially, proteolytically or keratolytically active substances, etc.
Corresponding requirements apply mutatis mutandis to the formulation of medicinal preparations.
Medicinal topical compositions for the purposes of the present invention generally comprise one or more medicaments in an effective concentration. For the sake of simplicity, for a clear distinction between cosmetic and medicinal application and corresponding products, reference is made to the legal provisions of the Federal Republic of Germany (e.g., Cosmetics Directive, Foods and Drugs Act). In this connection, it is likewise advantageous to add the active ingredient used according to the invention as an additive to preparations which already comprise other active ingredients for other purposes.
Accordingly, for the purposes of the present invention, cosmetic or topical
dermatological compositions can, depending on their formulation, be used, for example, as skin protection cream, cleansing milk, sunscreen lotion, nourishing cream, day or night cream, lip care stick, nasal spray, etc. In some instances it is possible and advantageous to use the compositions according to the invention as bases for pharmaceutical formulations.
It is also advantageous for the purposes of the present invention to provide cosmetic and dermatological preparations whose main purpose is not protection against sunlight, but which nevertheless have a content of UV protection substances. Thus, for example, UVA and/or UVB filter substances are usually incorporated into day creams or makeup products. Also UV protection substances, likewise antioxidants and, if desired, preservatives, provide an effective protection of the preparations against deterioration. Furthermore, cosmetic and dermatological preparations are favorable which are in the form of a sunscreen. Accordingly, the preparations according to the present invention, in addition to one or more active ingredient combinations according to the invention, preferably additionally comprise at least one further UVA filter substance and/or UVB filter substance. The formulations can, although this is not necessary, optionally also comprise one or more organic and/or inorganic pigments as UV filter substances, which can be present in the aqueous phase and/or the oil phase.
Preferred inorganic pigments are metal oxides and/or other metal compounds which are insoluble or sparingly soluble in water, in particular the oxides of titanium (Ti02), zinc (ZnO), iron (e.g., Fe203), zirconium (Zr02), silicon (Si02), manganese (e.g. MnO), aluminum (AI2O3), cerium (e.g., Ce2C>3), mixed oxides of the corresponding metals, and mixtures of such oxides.
According to the invention such pigments can advantageously be surface-treated ("coated") whereby, e.g., an amphiphilic or hydrophobic character of these pigments is to be formed or retained. This surface treatment can comprise providing the pigments with a thin hydrophobic layer by methods known per se.
According to the invention, e.g., titanium dioxide pigments are advantageous that are coated with octylsilanol. Suitable titanium dioxide particles are available under the trade name T805 from Degussa. Furthermore, Ti02 pigments coated with aluminum stearate are particularly advantageous, e.g., those available under the trade name MT 100 T from TAYCA.
A further advantageous coating of the inorganic pigments comprises
dimethylpolysiloxane (also: dimethicone), a mixture of completely methylated, linear siloxane polymers which are terminally blocked with trimethylsiloxy units. For the purposes of the present invention, particularly advantageous pigments are zinc oxide pigments which are coated in this way. Also advantageous is a coating of the inorganic pigments with a mixture of
dimethylpolysiloxane, in particular dimethylpolysiloxane having an average chain length of from 200 to 350 dimethylsiloxane units, and silica gel, which is also referred to as simethicone. It is particularly advantageous if the inorganic pigments have been additionally coated with aluminium hydroxide or hydrated aluminium oxide (also alumina, CAS No.: 1333-84-2). Particularly advantageous are titanium dioxides which have been coated with simethicone and alumina, it being possible for the coating to also comprise water. One example thereof is the titanium dioxide available under the trade name Eusolex T2000 from Merck. An advantageous organic pigment for the purposes of the present invention includes 2,2'-methylenebis-(6-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-(1 , 1 ,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol) [INCI: Bisoctyltriazole], which is obtainable from CIBA Chemikalien GmbH under the trade name Tinosorb(R) M. Advantageously, preparations according to the invention contain substances that absorb UV radiation in the UVA and/or the UVB range, whereby the total amount of the filter substances is, e.g., from 0.1 % by weight to 30% by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 20% by weight, in particular from 1.0 to 15% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, in order to provide cosmetic preparations that protect the hair or the skin against the entire range of ultraviolet radiation. They can also be used as sunscreen for the hair or the skin.
Further advantageous UVA filter substances for the purposes of the present invention include dibenzoylmethane derivatives, in particular 4-(tert-butyl)-4'- methoxydibenzoylmethane (CAS No. 70356-09-1), which is sold by Givaudan under the trademark Parsol® 1789 and by Merck under the trade name Eusolex® 9020.

Also advantageous are 1 ,4-di(2-oxo-10-sulfo-3-bornylidenemethyl)benzene and salts thereof (particularly the corresponding 10-sulfato compounds, in particular the corresponding sodium, potassium or triethanolammonium salt), which is also referred to as benzene-1 ,4-di(2-oxo-3-bornylidenemethyl-10-sulfonic acid).
Advantageous UV filter substances for the purposes of the present invention are also so-called broadband filters, i.e., filter substances which absorb both UVA and UVB radiation. Advantageous broadband filters or UVB filter substances include, for example, bis- resorcinyltriazine derivatives. Particularly preferred are 2,4-bis{[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2- hydroxylphenyl}-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1 ,3,5-triazine (I NCI : Aniso Triazine), which is available under the trade name Tinosorb® S from CIBA-Chemikalien GmbH. Particularly advantageous preparations for the purposes of the present invention that are characterized by a high or very high UVA protection preferably contain several UVA and/or broadband filters, in particular dibenzoylmethane derivatives [e.g., 4-(tert.butyl)- 4'-methoxydibenzoylmethane], benzotriazole derivatives [e.g., 2,2'methylene-bis-(6- (2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-(1 , 1 ,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-phenol], phenylene-1 ,4-bis-(2- benzimidazyl)-3,3',5,5'-tetrasulfonic acid and/or salts thereof, 1 ,4-di(2-oxo-10-sulfo-3- bornylidenemethyl)-benzene and/or salts thereof and/or 2,4-bis-{[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2- hydroxy]-phenyl}-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1 ,3,5-triazine, individually or in any
combinations with one another. A further light protection filter substance which can be used advantageously according to the invention is ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate (octocrylene), which is available from BASF under the designation Uvinul® N 539. It may also be considerably advantageous to use polymer-bound or polymeric UV filter substances in preparations according to the present invention, in particular those described in WO-A-92/20690.
In addition, it may optionally be advantageous to incorporate further UVA and/or UVB filters into cosmetic or dermatological preparations according to the invention, for example, certain salicylic acid derivatives, such as 4-isopropylbenzyl salicylate, 2- ethylhexyl salicylate (-Octyl salicylate), and homomenthyl salicylate.
Of course, the list of cited UV filters which can be used for the purposes of the present invention is not intended to be limiting.

For example, the fatty acid triglycerides may advantageously be selected from synthetic, semisynthetic and natural oils, for example olive oil, sunflower oil, soya oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, almond oil, palm oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil and the like. Any mixtures of such oil and wax components may also advantageously be employed in accordance with the present invention. If appropriate, it may also be advantageous to employ waxes, for example cetyl palmitate, as the only lipid component of the oil phase.
The oil phase may advantageously be selected from 2-ethylhexyl isostearate, octyldodecanol, isotridecyl isononanoate, isoeicosane, 2-ethylhexyl cocoate, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, caprylic/capric acid triglyceride, dicaprylyl ether.

Amongst the hydrocarbons, liquid paraffin, squalane and squalene may
advantageously be used according to the present invention.
The oil phase may furthermore advantageously comprise cyclic or linear silicone oils, or consist entirely of such oils, but it is preferred to use an additional content of other oil phase components, apart from the silicone oil(s).
Cyclomethicone (octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane) is advantageously employed as silicone oil to be used according to the invention. However, other silicone oils may also be used advantageously in accordance with the present invention, for example, hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane, and poly(methylphenylsiloxane).

Pressurized air may also be used advantageously.
Those of skill in the art will, of course, be familiar with the fact that there are non-toxic propellants, which would be suitable in principle for putting into practice the present invention in the form of aerosol preparations; however, it is recommended to dispense with the use of these-in particular fluorohydrocarbons and fluorochlorohydrocarbons (FCHCs)-due to their unacceptable effect on the environment or other accompanying circumstances.

Treatment of organs and tissue samples
Perfusing organs or tissue samples with a composition comprising an anti-freeze polypeptide according to the present invention makes it possible the store such organs and tissue samples, or other biological materials, at a lower temperature, thereby preventing deterioration or degradation of the sample, but without the risk of generating a freeze damage to said tissues, organs, cells or other biological materials. In many instances, damage to organs and biological tissues is caused not so much by the generation of a frozen state of the organ or tissue in question, but by the
recrystallization which may occur.
Examples of biological materials, organs and tissue samples include, but is not limited to, e.g. samples comprising one or more polypeptides, samples comprising one or more microsomes or micelles comprising one or more polypeptides, samples comprising whole blood, samples comprising blood plasma, samples comprising blood platelets, samples comprising red blood cells, samples comprising semen, samples comprising gametes. Tissue culture samples can comprise any form of biological cells, including mammalian cells, such as animal cells and human cells, rodent cells and insect cells.
The organ to be treated can be e.g. a kidney, a lung, a heart, a spleen or a liver.
Accordingly, there is provided a method for inhibiting recrystallization of an organ or a biological sample, said method comprising the step of contacting the organ or biological sample with the polypeptide according to the present invention under conditions allowing the polypeptide to prevent recrystallization of the organ or the biological sample.
There is also provided a method for improving the preservation of an organ or a biological sample, said method comprising the step of contacting the organ or biological sample with the polypeptide according to the present invention under conditions allowing the polypeptide to contact the organ or biological sample in question, thereby allowing the organ or biological sample to be stored stored at a sub- freezing temperature as compared to the storage temperature of an untreated organ or biological sample.
A new method has recently been developed which is based on vitrification. This method suffers, however, from the fact that during de-freezing of the gameter, embryos or stem cells relaxation occurs, which means that ice crystals are formed. During the de-freezing process these ice crystals grow due to re-crystallisation. It is believed that if one or more of the polypeptides according to the present invention is present in the solvents in which the gameter, embryos or stem cells are present during this vitrification process, then the crystal formation as well as the crystal growth will be markedly reduced or may be even prevented.
Further cryo- protective uses of the polypeptides according to the present invention are disclosed in more detail in the following.
In a separate aspect the present invention relates to methods for protecting cells and their membranes from damage which they would otherwise suffer upon exposure to non-physiological conditions such as temperature abnormalities, including both hyperthermic, hypothermic and subfreezing temperatures. Improved rates of cell viability are observed over a wide range of conditions which do not involve ice formation, including temperatures above the freezing range as well as temperatures below the freezing range but in vitrification conditions. Heretofore the only known property of these polypeptides was their ability to interact with ice crystals. In conditions in which ice crystals are formed, it is further discovered that use of the polypeptides with human cells at the concentrations in which they naturally occur in the source organisms results in aggravating the injury to the cells rather than reducing it, but that the injury is lessened, and the survival rate improved, by using low concentrations. The polypeptides thus offer benefits in the preservation and improved viability of cell suspensions, tissues and whole organs. The polypeptides are further discovered to have the ability to block ion channels in mammalian cell membranes, thereby providing a further utility in the treatment of disease conditions.
The present invention makes use of the recognized but unutilized quality of anti-freeze polypeptides and their ability to interact with cells and cell membranes. The interaction occurs with cell membranes in a wide range of structures, including individual cells in cell suspensions, connected cell masses in tissues and organs, and cell structures which are pervaded with a vascular system. The interaction is a favorable one, imparting to the cell membranes and the structures which incorporate these
membranes a variety of benefits, including improvements in cell viability and survival rate, prolongation of the functionality, stability and structural integrity of the cells and cell tissues, reduction of the occurrence of structural damage to membranes and cells under adverse conditions, and control of the transport of ions across the cell membranes.
The various types of interaction are unrelated to the known effects of these
polypeptides on ice crystal propagation, since the beneficial effects of these
interactions are observed under conditions where ice crystals do not form at all, in addition to their occurrence in the presence of ice crystals. For example, benefits are observed at temperatures ranging from cryogenic temperatures to temperatures well above physiological temperatures. The invention thus extends to situations involving physiological conditions as well as nonphysiological conditions, and to situations that involve the presence of ice crystals as well as those in which ice crystals are completely absent. Nonphysiological conditions in which beneficial effects on viable cells and cell membranes are observed therefore include: (i) hypothermal conditions defined by temperatures above the normal freezing point of water (0°C), and therefore with no possibility of ice formation, and below the physiological temperature of the cells; (ii) vitrification conditions defined by temperatures at or below the glass formation (or glass transition) temperature, such as for example from 150K down to about 4K, and by the presence of vitrifying agents which promote vitrification and inhibit crystallization; (iii) freezing conditions, such as temperatures from the normal freezing point of water down to about 4K, which permit the formation of ice crystals; (iv) hyperthermal conditions defined by temperatures above the physiological temperature of the cells, for example temperatures within the range of the physiological temperature up to about 10°C above the physiological temperature; and (v) conditions defined by chemical environments which differ from the physiological chemical environment of the cells, such as conditions of nonphysiological pH and other variations from the physiological chemical composition, as well as such conditions in combination with conditions of nonphysiological temperature.
Applicability of the invention aim extends to abnormal physiological conditions such as diseases associated with the instability of cell membranes and diseases associated with imbalances of ions between intracellular and extracellular spaces giving rise to abnormal ion transport across the cell membranes. The unexpected nature of this behavior is heightened by the discovery that the blockage of ion channels, such as for example those of calcium and potassium ion in epithelial cells, is achieved without interference with other metabolic functions of the cells, including ATP ion pumps and interactions with carbachol. Still further, the invention offers benefits to cells in normal physiological conditions, such as through the use of cosmetics or medications designed to restore, preserve or repair epidermal tissue.
The invention finds applicability to a wide range of living cells, including both animal cells and plant cells. A particularly unusual and interesting discovery in connection with the present invention, however, is the utility of the anti-freeze polypeptides in the treatment and preservation of mammalian cells, tissues and organs. In their natural form, these polypeptides exist in non-mammalian species only, and the differences in cell and membrane structure as well as in blood and cytoplasm composition between these species and mammalian species renders the presently discovered benefits surprising and unexpected. The invention is thus of particular interest and utility as applied to mammalian cells, tissues, organs and organisms which are exposed to conditions which differ from the normal physiological condition of the mammal.
Examples of cells to which the invention is applicable are mammalian oocytes, hepatocytes, erythrocytes and leukocytes, and various types of plant cells. Examples of tissues and organs are tissue of livers, hearts, and kidneys, and the organs
themselves. Examples of organisms are embryos, self-sustaining whole animals, plant seeds and whole plants. Additional benefits arising from the invention are many and varied. Included among these are the elimination of the need to maintain a fast cooling rate during freezing to cryogenic temperatures, the ability of the polypeptides to raise the viscosity of solutions at considerably lower concentrations than known cryoprotectants, and the ability of the polypeptides to preserve foods upon freezing. Other advantages, benefits, and applications of the present invention will be apparent from the description which follows.
The function of the polypeptides according to the present invention witin
cryopreservation of e.g. an organ, tissue or cell can be to stabilize the solution for the cryopreservation in order to prevent that ice crystals are formed or in order to minimize the quantity of ice crystals that are formed. The function of the polypeptides according to the present invention witin cryopreservation of e.g. an organ, tissue or cell can also be to prevent that the ice crystal will grow in size or to minimize the growth of the size of the ice crystals. The prevention of the ice crystal size growth or the minimization of the growth of the size of the ice crystals can prevent or minimize changes in the osmolality of the solution for the cryopreservation and thereby prevent of minimize damages on the organ, tissue or cell.
Within the technical field of cryopreservation, the following terms are used with the following definitions:
"Abnormal" or "non-physiological conditions" for cells, tissues, organs or organisms refer to conditions which differ from the normal physiological conditions. Abnormal or nonphysiological conditions include, but are not limited to, a temperature which is significantly higher or lower than the normal physiological temperature of the healthy organism of which the cell, tissue or organ is native, or the organism itself; an excess or subnormal amount of carbon dioxide, oxygen, inorganic salts, or organic
compounds, a pH value significantly higher or lower than that of the healthy organism, and combinations of these conditions.
"Anti-freeze polypeptides," "anti-freeze polypeptides" ("AFPs"), "anti-freeze
glycoproteins" and "anti-freeze glycopeptides" ("AFGPs") refer to macromolecules found in the body fluids of some animals, which have the commonly known property that they reduce non-colligatively the freezing point of water. Anti-freeze polypeptides, polypeptides, glycoproteins and glycopeptides are also known as "thermal hysteresis polypeptides" because the temperature at which freezing occurs is depressed to a greater degree than one could attribute to any colligative character of the polypeptides, whereas the temperature at which ice melts during melting is depressed is significantly less, in accordance solely with colligative behavior.
"Cryogenic temperatures" refers to temperatures below 0°C.
"Freezing" refers to the transition from the liquid phase of water to the solid phase of water.
"Hyperthermic" refers to temperatures higher than the normal physiological
temperature of a cell, tissue, organ or organism, such as for example from slightly above the physiological temperature up to about 20°C above, preferably to about 10°C above, and more preferably to about 5°C above the physiological temperature.
"Hypothermic" refers to temperatures lower than the normal physiological temperature of a cell, tissue, organ or organism, but not low enough to cause a phase transition to the solid phase. "Isolated and purified" refers to molecular species which are extracted from the organism in which they naturally occur, and concentrated by conventional laboratory techniques such as chromatography, preferably to a concentration of at least about 85%, more preferably to at least about 95%. This invention further extends to molecules which have a molecular structure which is either the same, highly similar, or homologous to naturally occurring forms of the molecules, and which may have been synthesized either by chemical means or by recombinant DNA techniques.
"Mammal" refers to any warm blooded mammal as the term is generally used in biology, including, for example, pig, cow, rabbit, horse and human being.
"Polar fish species" refers to cold-blooded aquatic animals, particularly vertebrates, which reside in waters of the polar regions of the earth, including the regions within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. Polar fish species of particular interest in connection with this invention are those which remain in waters which become or remain ice-laden.
"Spicule" and "spicular" refer to ice crystals and ice crystal growth in which the dominant direction of crystal propagation is along the c-axis, i.e., perpendicular to the basal plane, to form crystals having a needle-like shape. "Viable" means capable of living, capable of surviving and developing under, or upon a return to, normal physiological conditions, or capable of germinating under conditions normally favorable to germination.
"Vitrification" refers to solidification at cryogenic temperatures in such a manner that a glass phase, i.e., a non-crystalline solid, is formed, as opposed to crystalline ice.
"Apparent vitrification" refers to vitrification as determined by visual observation under a microscope. Vitrification of a biological material is generally achieved by introducing any of a variety of cryoprotective or "vitrifying" agents, including polyhydric alcohols such as glycerol and propylene glycol, or other compounds such as dimethylsulfoxide into the material. The introduction of vitrifying agents is often accompanied by relatively high rates of cooling. The optimal rates in each case vary with the composition and thermodynamics of the system. Typical cooling rates in most cases for small unorganized cells such as ova, sperm, and embryos, and for organs, generally fall within the ranges of about 100 °C/min to about 2,000°C/min, preferably about
200°C/min to about 1 ,750°C/min, and more preferably about 700°C/min to about 1 ,750°C/min. Rates on the order of 1500°C/min are commonly used.
In the practice of the present invention, the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention are generally used in the form of a liquid solution, and preferably an aqueous solution. The anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention may be used individually or in combination with other polypeptides. When the polypeptides are used in combination, it will often be most convenient to use the polypeptides in the physiological combinations in which they naturally occur in the source species, i.e., the same mixture and proportions of the polypeptide species as they are found in the fluid of the fish, insect or other organism from which they are extracted, although isolated from other components of the fluid and redissolved in a different solvent or solution, perhaps at a total concentration which differs from that in which the mixture is present in its natural environment. In certain cases, however, activity and effectiveness may be improved by fractionating the polypeptides in the source mixture and selecting and recombining fractions in an optimal manner.
The concentration of the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the represent invention in the liquid solution as used in the present invention may vary widely, although in certain cases, improved results will be obtained within certain concentration ranges, and in certain cases, the concentration must be restricted to certain ranges to avoid injury caused by the polypeptides themselves. In general, however, the polypeptides will be used in concentrations of from about 0.01 mg/mL to about 80 mg/mL, preferably from about 0.1 mg/mL to about 60 mg/mL, more preferably from about 1 mg/mL to about 40 mg/mL, and most preferably from about 1 mg/mL to about 20 mg/mL. When used with human cells, particularly under temperatures below the physiological temperature of the cells, preferred concentrations are from about 0.1 mg/mL to about 40 mg/mL, more preferably from about 0.1 mg/mL to about 3 mg/mL. In applications where the polypeptides are used to protect tissue at temperatures below the physiological temperature of the tissue, preferred concentrations are within the range of about 0.1 mg/mL to about 50 mg/mL, and when the tissue is human tissue, preferred concentrations are within the range of about 0.1 mg/mL to about 3 mg/mL. In applications where the polypeptides are used to protect cells in general at
temperatures below the physiological temperature of the cells but above the freezing temperature of the cells, or below the freezing temperature of the cells but in the presence of a vitrifying agent or other non-peptide cryoprotectant, preferred
concentrations are within the range of about 0.01 mg/mL to about 60 mg/mL, and more preferred concentrations are within the range of about 1 mg/mL to about 40 mg/mL. In applications where the polypeptides are used to block ion channels across cell membranes, preferred concentrations are at least about 0.01 mg/mL, more preferably at least about 0.1 mg/mL, and most preferably from about 0.5 mg/mL to about 40 mg/mL. All concentrations of anti-freeze polypeptides are expressed as totals of the concentrations of individual anti-freeze polypeptides when a solution contains a mixture of different anti-freeze polypeptides. Aqueous solutions of the anti-freeze polypeptides for use in the present invention may further contain any of the wide variety of mixtures of salts, sugars, ions and other nutrients which are included in electrolyte solutions known in the art to be useful for preserving biological agents. These include tissue culture media, organ perfusion fluids, and the like. Electrolyte solutions are particularly useful for enhancing the biological compatibility of the polypeptides.

Pharmacodyn. 172:49 (1972) The optimal choice of electrolyte solution for any particular application will vary with the application, such as, for example, the form of the cells (whether the cells are present as cell suspensions, tissues, or organs) to be treated or protected by the anti-freeze polypeptides, the animal from which the cells are derived, and the conditions to which the cells have been, or are expected to be, exposed.
In embodiments of the invention involving vitrification conditions, the anti-freeze polypeptides are used in combination with vitrifying agents which prevent or inhibit ice crystal formation during solidification of the intracellular and extracellular fluids upon cooling to sub-freezing temperatures. Various vitrifying agents are known in the art, and may be used either individually or in combination with other vitrifying agents or biologically compatible solutes. Examples of vitrifying agents are glycerol, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, glucose, sucrose, propanediol, butanediol, and carboxymethyl cellulose. Polyhydric alcohols as a class are useful as vitrifying agents. Prominent examples are glycerol, ethylene glycol, propanediol, butanediol, and butanetriol. Concentrations of vitrifying agents may vary widely, depending on the concentrations of other components in the system, the cooling rate and the lowest temperature reached. In general, best results will be obtained with concentrations of from about 5% to about 35% by weight. Vitrification is usually practiced with a rapid cooling rate, such as for example a rate exceeding 100°C/min, and preferably exceeding 1 ,000°C/min.
In embodiments which involve the use of non-peptide cryoprotectants, without necessarily avoiding the formation of ice crystals, many of the same considerations apply- The agents listed above as examples of vitrifying agents serve as well as cryoprotectants, within similar concentration ranges.
The beneficial effect of the anti-freeze polypeptides on cells and/or cell membranes is achieved by placing the polypeptides in contact with the cells and maintaining such contact throughout, or for a substantial portion of, the period of exposure to otherwise injurious conditions. When the cells are in the form of cell suspensions, contact of this type is achieved by simply adding the polypeptides to the suspension fluid. When the cells are in the form of tissues or organs, contact is achieved by immersing the tissues or organs in a solution of the polypeptides. When the cells are in the form of tissues or organs which contain a vascular system, contact is achieved by perfusing the vascular system with a solution of the polypeptides, and once perfused, holding the polypeptide solution in the vascular system throughout the period of storage, preservation or exposure to the injurious conditions. Methods of perfusion are well known among those skilled in physiology and surgical procedures.
Cells which can benefit from treatment with the anti-freeze polypeptides in accordance with this invention include cells of a wide variety of types. Examples are oocytes, embryos, leukocytes, erythrocytes, platelets, pancreatic islets, and hepatocytes.
Organs which can benefit from the present invention are also widely varied. Examples include the liver, kidney, heart, brain, lung, pancreas, spleen, ovary, and stomach.
Tissues which can benefit from the invention include tissues of any of these organs, as well as skin tissue, bone marrow tissue, cornea tissue, and a wide range of others. The invention finds applicability to mammals in general, and will be of particular interest and utility when used in connection with human cells, tissues and organs.
The effect of the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention in inhibiting ion transport across cell membranes extends to a variety of ions, with particular interest to Ca++, K+ and Na+ ions, as well as two or more of these ions in combination.
Since excessive ion transport is one physiological effect which accompanies hypothermia, the ability of the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention to inhibit ion transport may be related to the ability of the polypeptides to enhance cell viability under hypothermic conditions. Accordingly, the amounts and concentrations of polypeptide administered to achieve the effect of inhibition of ion transport are generally the same or similar to the amounts used in enhancing viability under hypothermic exposure.
The ability of the polypeptides to inhibit ion transport across cell membranes also renders the polypeptides useful in treating diseases and abnormal physiological conditions in which excessive trans-membrane ion transport is present. Examples of such diseases and conditions are cystic fibrosis, Kartagener's Syndrome, diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, and antidiuretic hormone abnormalities. Administration of the polypeptides for this effect may be achieved by ingestion, vascular injection, localized application, and various means in general by which other drugs or treatment agents are administered when used in the treatment or management of these diseases and conditions. Again, the concentrations for useful results are generally the same as those referred to above, and the dosage or frequency of administration will be determined by the degree to which the condition being treated has progressed as well as the observed response to the treatment.
Application of the anti-freeze polypeptides comprising the polypeptide of the present invention also extend to the use of the polypeptides in the preservation of foods which have a cellular structure. Foods of particular interest for this application are meats and meat products, but other types of foods will benefit as well. For purposes of this invention, meats and meat products include fresh meat and poultry, as well as frozen, canned and dried meats and poultry. Many such foods when cooled to avoid spoilage during transport or storage tend to lose turgor, freshness and other qualities which contribute to their taste, mouthfeel and general appeal. These qualities can be preserved by treatment of the foods with solutions of the polypeptides in accordance with the present invention. The mode of treatment will vary from one type of food to the next, but will generally involve equilibration of the food with the polypeptide in solution, either by immersion, perfusion, or any other kind of absorption or other means of achieving prolonged contact. The types of solutions and the methods of immersion and perfusion described above in connection with other applications of the invention will be applicable here as well.
Fluids comprising polypeptides according to the present invention
The use of the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention as an additive e.g. to fluids and liquids, such as refridgerants and many different types of aqueous solutions is provided in accordance with the present invention in order to prevent freezing of the refridgerant or the aqueous solutions. The feature of preventing freezing of a solution is beneficial in many different technical areas. Carriers and solid supports linked to the polypeptides according to the present invention
A polypeptide according to the present invention can be linked to a carrier, such as a solid support or a semi-solid support. The polypeptide can be covalently or non- covalently linked to any such carrier, for example a surface of a material desirably displaying the polypeptides according to the invention. Surfaces and solid supports according to the invention can comprising one or more polypeptides according to the invention, or functional fragments thereof displaying anti-freeze activity, which are either directly or indirectly attached to the surface, such as a solid or semi-solid support.
Attachment includes in principle all state-of-the-art technologies for covalently or non- covalently attaching a polypeptides to a surface e.g. directly, through a linker residue, through entrapment of the polypeptides in a caged structure, which retains the polypeptides in reactive contact with the surface, or any other way of attaching the polypeptide(s) according to the present invention to a solid support or semi-solid support.
A number of techniques are available for attaching polypeptides to solid or semi-solid supports. The attachment of a polypeptide to a solid surface has e.g. been disclosed by Cordek et al. 1999, Anal. Chem., 71 : 1529-1533; Blasi et al. 2005, Enzyme and Microbial Tech., 36: 818-823; Parrado et al. (1995), Proc. Chem., 30(8): 735-741 ; Yakovleva et al. (2003), Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 19: 21-34; Cao, L, Carrier- bound Immobilized Enzymes. Principles, Applications and Design, Wiley-VCH, 2005; and Immobilization of Enzymes and Cells (Methods in Biotechnology), Birkerstaff, G.F., eds., Humana Press, 1997. Other techniques are also available and well known to the skilled person.
In one aspect of the present invention there is provided a coating composition comprising one or more polypeptides according to the present invention. The coating composition can further comprise one or more further ingredients, including pigments and resins, as disclosed herein below in more detail.
Much attention has been focused on immobilization of biomolecules, including polypeptides, in silicate glass formed by the sol-gel method (Eggers et al., Protein Sci. 2001 , 10, 250-261). The process involves hydrolyzing an alkoxide to produce a sol, which then undergoes polycondensation to form a gel. Biomolecules are immobilized by being entrapped in the gel during the sol-to-gel transition. The sol-gel materials offer advantages over more traditional organic polymers for biomolecule entrapment in that these materials have increased mechanical strength, chemical stability,
biocompatibility, and resistance to microbial attack.
The sol-gel encapsulation of polypeptides according to the present invention can be performed by using precursors, based around polyol silicates and polyol siloxanes, especially those derived from glycerol. Poly(glyceryl silicate) (PGS) can be prepared and employed for sol-gel bioentrapment of the polypeptides, in an approach distinguished by a high degree of biocompatibility and mild encapsulation conditions, and which enables the reproducible and efficient confinement of the polypeptides inside silica.
The above-disclosed methodology can be extended to metallosilicate, alkylsiloxane, functionalized siloxane, and various composite sol-gels, thereby allowing the fabrication of a physicochemically diverse range of bio-doped polymers comprising the anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention.
The hybrid materials according to the present invention preferably display activities approaching those of the free anti-freeze polypeptides, together with high stabilities and robustness that characterize sol-gel bioceramics.
In one aspect of the present invention, a sol-gel process well know to those of ordinary skill in the art is used for attaching the polypeptides according to the invention to the solid or semi-solid support. The sol-gel process is conventional and typically produces a sol-gel glass, which results from an optically transparent amorphous silica or silicate material produced by forming interconnections in a network of colloidal sub-micrometer particles under increasing viscosity until the network becomes completely rigid, with about one-half the density of glass. Accordingly, a sol-gel glass comprising one or more polypeptides according to the invention is also claimed. Reference is made - among others - to Gill and Ballesteros, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 8587-8598. Solution polymerization to form sol of cross-linked particles is disclosed e.g. in US 5,863,996 and can be used in conjunction with the present invention.
The coating compositions according to another aspect of the present invention preferably comprises a resin which is compatible with the polypeptide(s) according to the present invention - i.e. allows said polypeptides to exert an anti-freeze activity when forming part of the coating composition. Resins are well-known in the art and polypeptide compatible resins are also disclosed in the prior art. See e.g. WO 01/72911 and US 5,998,200. There is also provided in accordance with the present invention a composition comprising a mesoporous aerogel having a three-dimensional nanoarchitecture comprising the polypeptides according to the present invention. The three-dimensional nanoarchitecture preferably comprises a colloidal metal encapsulating anti-freeze polypeptide bio-composite superstructure which is nano-glued therein. Accordingly, there is also provided a method for making a mesoporous aerogel having a three- dimensional nanostructure with a colloidal metal encapsulating anti-freeze polypeptide biocomposite nanoglued therein, said method comprising the steps of: Forming a metal encapsulating anti-freeze polypeptide biocomposite by mixing together said one or more anti-freeze polypeptides according to the present invention and said colloidal metal; forming a sol, such as a silica sol, by mixing together a catalyst and an alkoxide, such as a silicon alkoxide; forming a gel by mixing together said sol, such as a silica sol, and said biocomposite and allowing said sol to gel; and extracting and
supercritically drying said gel with carbon dioxide to form said aerogel with said metal encapsulating anti-freeze polypeptide bio-composite superstructure nanoglued therein. In one embodiment, the mesoporous aerogel is a silica mesoporous aerogel.
Reference is made to US 2004/0209338.
Use of the polypeptides according to the present invention in the inhibition of the formation of gas hydrates.
The polypeptides according to the present invention may also find use in the inhibition of the formation of gas hydrates in the oceans. It is well known that gas hydrates are ice-like crystalline molecular complexes formed from mixtures of water and suitably sized "guest" gas molecules. The water (host) molecules, upon hydrogen bonding, form lattice structures with several interstitial cavities. The guest gas molecules can occupy the lattice cavities, and when a minimum number of cavities are filled, the crystalline structure will become stable and solid gas hydrates will form, even at temperatures well above the melting point of water ice. When gas hydrates dissociate (melt), the crystalline lattice breaks down into liquid water (or converts to ice if conditions are below the freezing point of water) and the gas is released. Commercially, the gas may be utilized for energy production. However, the phenomenon does represent an environmental risk in cases where the gas escapes in a non-controlled manner. This could be in areas where earth crakes appear from time to time. It is well known that the problem with regard to gas hydrate formation also occurs in pipeline on the bottom of the oceans. However, due to the ice crystal formation inhibiting properties of the polypeptides according to the present invention, it is believed that the presence of said polypeptides may prevent the formation of gas hydrates, due to the fact that the structure of these hydrates are very similar to the structure of ice crystals.

Example 1
Two different strategies were used for the identification and purification of anti-freeze polypeptides from R. mordax.
1 ) The method published in Kristiansen et al. (2005) was used for purifying the antifreeze polypeptides.
2) Two degenerated primers were designed to match regions in the N- and C- terminal region of the R. Inquisitor AFP (cf. Fig. 1 in PCT/DK2008/050278). These were used to amplify cDNA regions from R. mordax RNA isolated from winter-collected animals in a conventional RT-PCR reaction. Such cDNA encodes the central region of putative
AFP's from R. mordax. By this approach, the sequence of central portions (99-108 aa) of two types (families) of polypeptides were obtained.
3) Full length AFP sequences were subsequently obtained for 8 isoforms. Primers specific for each of the central portions of the cDNA encoding putative AFP's were employed in combination with amplification of the pertinent 5' ends (5'RACE) using the Clontech Smart RACE cDNA amplification kit. Once the 5' ends of each cDNA is obtained, this sequence will be used for obtaining full length clones. This is done using a primer matching the extreme 5-end of each cDNA in combination with a primer matching the mRNA poly-A tail in a RT-PCR reaction of R. mordax RNA.
In total, 8 full length cDNAs encoding various isoforms of the group I AFP's were obtained and the encoded polypeptides deduced.
Expression and purification
Six isoforms of antifreeze proteins (AFPs) from Rhagium mordax RmAFP has been cloned. The RmAFP variants were constructed as deletions of the ice binding domains one at a time from the C-terminal of RmAFPI (Δ2-Δ9) (for example Δ4 indicates that putative ice binding domain 4-9 has been deleted) and a variant containing a Trp and Cys residue in the C-terminal (WC). These were cloned into pGEX vector system (GE Healthcare) and transformed in E.coli (strains: Origami, BL21). The proteins were expressed as a fusion protein to Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) containing a thrombin cleavage site between GST and RmAFP. The cells were lysed by French press and the purification was based on affinity chromatography using reduced glutathione covalently attached to sepharose beads and size exclusion
chromatography.
Activity measurements
Wild type isoforms of Rhagium mordax antifreeze proteins and variants of these were tested for activity using a nano-litre osmometer. The results are shown in the table herein below. The RmAFP variants were constructed as deletions of the ice binding domains one at a time from the C-terminal of RmAFPI and a variant containing a Trp and Cys residue in the C-terminal. THapp is the thermal hysteresis estimated directly from the assay without considering concentration of AFP, purified or as fusion protein or ice fractionation in the individual measurement; except for the asterisk marked TH which was estimated by extrapolation of a straight line through the points in a plot of TH versus the ice fraction, n is the number of measurements. Not determined, but in progress (N.D.) The fact that we find detectable activity in Δ5-9 and Δ4-9 demonstrates that truncated versions of AFP1 containing 4 and 3 putative ice-binding motifs, respectively, retains the ability to prevent growth of ice crystals. The specific activity of deletion derivatives has not been determined and their activity relative to wt protein is at present unknown.

Visual inspection of RmAFP activity
The progression of the "ice growth-explosion" which occurs at the hysteresis freezing point in 1) a solution of RmAFPI and 2) in serum of the eel pout Zoarces viviparus (a danish fish with type 3 AFP) can be determined. In both cases a small ice crystal is allowed to anneal in the solution before the temperature is lowered.
Physico-chemical characterization of RmAFPI - Mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF)
Molecular weight determination of cloned and purified AFP can be performed. The analysis by mass spectrometry of the purified recombinant AFP was performed by MALDI-ToF analysis by Alphalyse (Odense, Denmark).
Size-exclusion chromatography
Dimerization of AFP variants or fragments can be investigated. Under native conditions rRmAFP behaves e.g. as a dimer, since when it is passed over a size exclusion column (Superdex 75, 10/30, GE Healthcare) it has shorter retention times than other proteins in the same Mw range. Mw estimation from SEC of rRmAFPI gave 28 KDa when the Superdex 75 was calibrated with bovine serum albumin (68 KDa, BSA), trypsin (25 KDa), and human cystatin C (13 KDa). Likewise RmAFP behaves as a dimer when run in an SDS PAGE giving an estimated Mw of 28 KDa.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Temperature stability can be investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC; Seal, Moscow, Russia). The first scan was performed within the temperature range 6 - 100°C and the succeeding 1 1 scans were performed within the temperature range 6 - 70°C. The asymmetric shape of the curve suggests a dissociation of the protein dimer followed by the unfolding of the monomers. The overall similarity of the curves resulting from 1 1 scans indicate that the RmAFP is capable of denaturing and renaturing multiple times upon successive heating/cooling cycles without any loss of material .
The lower line gives the result of a similar heating cycle performed on a buffer control. Subsequently a sample that had undergone 12 heating-cooling cycles was analyzed for activity and gave a thermal hysteresis, THapp, at 0.94 °C which did not differ from the the activity of the staring material.
These studies suggest a moderately, stable protein, however, with the noticeable feature of renaturation into a biologically active molecule after denaturation.
Influence of pH on activity and stability
The influence of pH on activity and stability can also be investigated.
Example 2
After having decided on the specific mutations to introduce to the native AFP, regardless of the purpose of this mutation, a gene introducing these mutations is designed using the native AFP gene as template. The gene is flanked with restriction enzymes matching the expression vector pQE-2. This vector introduces an N-terminal HisTag. In addition to the AFP-sequence, a lysine is introduced in the N-terminal end which functions as a stop-amino acid for the protease DapAse. This enzyme cleaves of the Histag, leaving only the AFP and the N-terminal Lysine. The designed gene is usually ordered from Genscript which sends it in a plasmid (pUC57). The gene is transferred from pUC57 to the expression plasmid pQE-2 using Ndel and Hindi I restriction enzymes.
The pQE-2 plasmid containing the gene encoding for the new mutant is transferred into the BL21 (DE3) E. coli strain. The bacteria are grown at 37°C to reach high numbers, but the protein is expressed at 30°C. In the pQE-2 vector the expression of AFP is induced by adding IPTG. After inducing expression the cells grow for 3 h before they are spun down. The cells are resuspended in a small volume and lysed using French press and the cell debris is spun down. The remaining cytosol is then heated to 60- 70°C for 10 minutes to heat-denature and precipitate the majority of proteins (the AFP remain in solution). When large mutants are made (e.g. fusion proteins) this heat denaturing step is skipped as the protein then is likely to be among the precipitating proteins. The remaining solution is applied on a nickel column (NiNTA) where the His- tagged proteins will be captured. As imidazole mimics histidine, addition of this compound can be used to elute proteins. Usually the imidazole concentration is increased gradually, enabling a separation of unspecific proteins (random proteins with exposed histidines that is caught in the column, but which are eluted at low concentrations of imidazole) and the protein of interest. The AFP fraction is dialyzed against water and subsequently freeze dried. The freeze dried AFP is then either dissolved in a buffer suitable for the relevant downstream inquiry, or dissolved in a buffer suitable for the DapAse enzyme for the removal of the His-tag. After the His-tag is cleaved off the product is dialyzed and freeze dried, and from here dissolved in the buffer suitable for the relevant downstream inquiry. Example 3
After obtaining sufficient amounts of protein, suitable investigations can be made to test the properties of the AFP variants or fragments. The fundamental analysis of activity is made by solubilising the lyophilized protein in a small aliquot of buffer. This buffer often consists of low levels of salt and a neutral pH. A dilution series is made with protein concentration ranging from 0.075-1.2 mg/ml. In some cases the effect of specific additives (salts, polyols, proteins, pH etc.) are tested. In this case a solution with a fixed AFP concentration is often made in a series of varying concentration of compounds. The activities of the solutions are measured using the Clifton nanoliter osmometer. Some mutants are also examined in additional ways, depending on the nature/objective of the mutant. Possible examinations are mentioned here. The results from these studies are then held up against the activity obtained in order to deduce the effect of the mutation (confer section of purposes of mutations).
Refolding capacity: A protein sample was subjected to a series of heat-scans on a differential scanning calorimeter. Here the enthalpy of unfolding was measured. This value dropped after each scan, and the size of the drop indicated a protein loss, i.e. a fraction of protein that did not refold. In this way a refolding ability (within a given temperature and time span of choice) was quantified. A critical temperature where much protein is lost can be found in this way. Differential scanning calorimetry is also often used to determine the melting temperature of proteins, but this method is not suited for proteins with relatively slow unfolding rates such as our AFP, hence this we determined with a different method.
Protein melting point, structure of refolding rates: Via circular dichroism (CD) the proteins secondary structure was studied. Here, an absorbance spectrum was obtained (usually in the range 190-250 nm). The absorbance curve can be 'translated' into an overall structure of the protein i.e. percentages of the structure that is beta-sheet, alpha helix or random coil, respectively. This spectrum was obtained for the wild type AFP. The overall structure of mutants can be obtained and compared to the wild type in order to see if the mutation has affected the structure. The CD was here used to determine the melting temperature of RmAFPI to 28.5 C at pH 7.0. By obtaining spectra at different temperatures, the transition to unfolded protein was observed. The melting temperature is defined as the temperature where half of the protein is in the unfolded phase and the other half is in the folded, and was this way determined from the spectra. The melting temperature can be important in industrial applications. Finally, the CD was used to obtain the refolding rate of the protein. In this case, the protein was heated to well above the melting point until the protein was completely melted. The temperature was then lowered to a sub-melting temperature, and spectra were recorded continuously. The refolding rate was calculated from the spectra. The rate of refolding is important to know in the cases where the protein is expected to provide its function shortly after being exposed to high temperatures.
Determination of the isoelectric point, pi. This method is straight forward as gels can be obtained commercially, from where the pi is determined from the migration pattern of the protein. The pi can be important to know if applications necessitate a specific charge of the protein. In that case, knowing the pi, you know what pH you may work within (or the other way around, if knowing the pH, then you need to design a protein with a specific pi). Furthermore, interactions between the AFP and other proteins may be charge-based. From this, you can say that the charge of AFP, in any application, is important regarding what substances it can react with. Alone on this background, and knowing some of the compounds in the respective application, an AFP can be designed so it could react with these compounds. If no such compounds are present, a neutral AFP would be preferable, as this would be the most insoluble (a feature we believe is linked to higher activity).
A protein sample is loaded on an isoelectric focussing gel, and thereafter stained, to obtain the isoelectric point of the protein.
Solubility: There are some indications that the solubility of the protein affects the activity. A decrease in solubility would cause a shift in the distribution of AFP from the bulk solution to the ice/water interphase. The more proteins in the ice/water interphase the larger hysteresis is achieved upon cooling. One method to measure solubility is through a two phase system, consisting of a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic phase. The distribution of protein between these two phases reflects the solubility of the protein. The phrase "lowered solubility" in this context implies that the protein is less soluble in water, as the activity is measured in water solutions.
Measuring protein solubility using two-phase systems may be based on the use of the compounds Ficoll and PEG which are both aqueous phases that are benign to proteins. Solutions of predetermined concentrations of Ficoll and PEG (solubilised in water) are made and mixed. When the solution have separated into two phases and is in equilibrium, a fixed volume is taken out from each phase and put in a tube with a know amount of lyophilized protein/mutant. The protein-ficoll-PEG solution is mixed and set to settle again. After separation the concentration of protein can be determined in each phase to obtain the partition coefficient as an expression for the relative hydrophobicity. By comparing the activity and the relative hydrophobicity of different mutants potential correlation between these two factors may be tested.
'Hardiness': Regarding commercial applications, a quantification of the ability of proteins/mutants to withstand extreme stress (such as extreme pH or high concentrations of denaturing compounds) would be of interest. This is tested by obtaining CD spectra at different concentrations of denaturants (e.g. urea, SDS, etc) or pH and observe if there are any critical values where the protein changes its structure. Temperature could be an extra parameter in this regard. In this case spectra are also obtained at various temperatures for each sample. A change in structure is a sign of loss of activity. This is confirmed by measure the activity of the protein is the solutions permits it, as some compounds may be interfering with the method. If specific applications for the AFP are in mind, a relevant solution that imitates the application solution can be made and the protein can be tested herein. If loss of structure is observed in any case, a follow-up study of the refolding abilities should be made. Example 4: Site directed mutagenesis
Example 4 describes examples of how mutants can be designed. The ice binding domain:
The ice binding domain is clearly defined, and can probably not be improved beyond the TxTxTxT motifs. A change in the x's would probably lead to a change in the protein structure and thus loss of activity. The T's are the amino acids directly coupled to the interaction with ice. In RmAFPI two of the motifs have "flaws" as their sequences are TxHxKxT and TxTxTxS, respectively. One way to try to improve activity of the protein is to substitute these "flaws" with T's making the motifs TxTxTxT as the four other ice facing motifs.
Another strategy is to enlarge the ice binding site by inserting extra loop(s), thus introducing more TxTxTxT motifs to bind the ice. The change in protein size will probably also affect the solubility, hence the effect observed could (also) be due to a solubility change.
Some mutants were made to improve the ice binding domain. These were; one with T inserted instead of H in the TxHxKxT domain, one with T inserted instead of the K and a one with both substitutions made. The antifreeze activity was measured for five different concentrations (1.2, 0.6, 0.3, 0.15 and 0.075 mg/ml) and compared to the wild type. For all the mutants an increase in activity was observed when compared to the wild type, with the mutant with both H and K substitutions being the most active. A mutant where an internal loop was been inserted duplicated and triplicated (to obtain one and two extra ice facing TxTxTxT motifs) was made together with a mutant where this loop was removed (removing a TxTxTxT motif). We did not succeed in obtaining protein of the mutant with two extra loops. The mutant with the loop removed was obtained, but it showed no activity at all (probably incorrectly folded). The mutant with one extra loop was obtained and showed increased activity over the wild type, corresponding to that obtained for the H+K mutant.
Intervening sequences:
Isoelectric point: This can be manipulated by inserting or removing charged amino acids (R, H, K, D, E). Some results indicate that random proteins with a charge opposite of that of the AFP can enhance activity. In the industrial aspect, this can be exploited by tailoring the charge of the AFP so it is opposite of specific proteins present in that specific solution. Melting temperature: By introducing disulphide bonds (by introducing cysteines in close proximity of each other, predicted from a 3D model) the melting temperature of AFP is likely to be increased. The AFP is closely packed so complications in introducing cysteines without disrupting the structure can be expected. Refolding: As AFP melts at low temperatures and refolds rather slowly, it could be of interest to speed up the refolding rates. Another aspect is to improve the amount of protein that refolds after being heated. This number is already quite high. However, some modifications might increase this ability, but again these seem hard to predict. Interaction with other molecules: Besides the before mentioned mechanism of interaction with oppositely-charged proteins, there is more strategies regarding interaction between the AFP and other molecules. Overall, the intervening sequences could be manipulated to interact with specific components. The purpose of this could be to stick the protein onto a surface, with the AFP oriented in a specific way, or to allocate the proteins to specific compartments e.g. for capture and reuse of the proteins.
Incorporation into ice: In many applications regarding food preservations, it is recrystallization and not ice growth itself that is of concern. Plant AFPs have shown to be good recrystallization inhibitors. They hardly suppress the freezing point, but still bind to ice and are thereby being incorporated into the ice. It could be possible that mutations in the intervening sequences, or more precisely the 2-3 amino acids that flank the TxTxTxT domains, could cause the RmAFP to be overgrown by, and incorporated into, the ice giving it the same abilities as the plant AFP. Solubility: As stated before, the solubility of the protein might have an effect on AFPs activity. Changing the solubility can be obtained by changing the size of the protein e.g. by fusing AFP to a random inert protein or duplicate parts of the AFP. Another way is to change amino acids with others that have a different hydrophobicity. Example 5 - Antifreeze activity enhancement by site directed mutagenesis of an antifreeze protein from the beetle Rhagium mordax
The ice binding motifs of insect antifreeze proteins (AFPs) consists of repetitive TxT motifs aligned on a flat face of the proteins. However, these motifs often contain non- threonines that disrupt the TxT pattern. Here we substituted two such disruptive amino acids found in the ice binding face of an AFP from Rhagium mordax with threonine. Furthermore, a mutant with an extra ice facing TxT motif was also constructed. These mutants showed enhanced antifreeze activity compared to the wild type at low concentrations. Compared to the wild type, less than one third of the protein
concentration of the mutant with an extra TxT motif was needed to evoke a hysteresis of 4.5 °C. However, by extrapolating data the wild type show to be the most effective in evoking activities above 6.6 °C, corresponding to concentrations of 270 μηιοΙ. Control mutants that were modified in areas outside the ice binding domain did not show significantly altered antifreeze activity.
Some ectothermic species inhabiting cold regions have evolved antifreeze proteins (AFPs) as an adaptation to temperatures below their body fluids' melting point. These proteins are characterised by their ability to lower the freezing temperature of ice without significantly affecting its melting temperature, a phenomenon referred to as thermal hysteresis or antifreeze activity. Although antifreeze activity was first observed in the body fluids of the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor, the current biological role of AFPs were assigned following their discovery in fish inhabiting Polar Regions. AFPs have now been found in a wide variety of other organisms as well, including spiders, bacteria, plants, fungi and insects. Insect AFPs are often referred to as hyperactive, as they are substantially more potent than those found in fish. Common for all AFPs is their ability to become bound to the ice surface whereby their antifreeze activity is founded. The ice binding site (IBS) within the proteins are flat and possess specific exposed amino acids regularly arranged in a pattern that reflects the arrangement of water molecules in an ice lattice. This structural match to ice, likely together with locally bound water molecules in the IBS, is believed to enable the proteins to become irreversibly adsorbed onto the ice surface. Prevailing theory postulates that the antifreeze activity a linear function of the square root of the concentration. However, this relation seems only to be seen empirically for fish AFPs. The activity of insect AFPs seem to have different patterns, e.g. a linear relation with the logarithm of the concentration is observed for AFP from Rhagium inquisitor.
All known insect AFPs have essentially the same tertiary structure, being that of a beta- helix. One side of this helical structure forms a flat beta-sheet that makes up the IBS. The IBS is in turn predominantly made up of a stack of 4-7 ice binding domains (IBDs). Characteristically, the amino acid threonine makes up every other residue within these domains in what is known as TxT motifs, and the stack of these motifs results in rows of threonines along the length of the IBS. The TxT motif of insect AFPs varies in width from the shortest TxT found in most known AFP producing species to TxTxTxTxT found in Campaea perlata.
Although TxT is the consensus ice binding motif, many of these have occasionally a threonine substituted with another amino acid. Often this is an amino acid quite similar in structure to threonine, such as serine or valine, but sometimes larger obstructive, and often charged, amino acids are occurring in the IBDs. Even though these irregularities are abundant, their significance and influence on antifreeze activity have not yet been examined. Table 1 gives an overview of the sequences of the IBDs of some known insect AFPs. Several isoforms of the AFPs are known to be expressed in all the presented species. The sequences presented in the table are those of the most studied isoforms or the isoforms of which the tertiary structure is known.
In the present experiment we have studied the effect of site directed mutagenesis in the IBS of the antifreeze protein RmAFPI from the beetle Rhagium mordax. This 136 amino acid protein consists of six TxTxTxT motifs containing a total of three non-Ts in the IBS (Table 1). We have substituted two of the putative intrusive amino acids (H21 and K23), separately and combined, with threonines to obtain more consistent TxTxTxT motifs. Furthermore, a mutant was created with an additional coil inserted, i.e. an additional IBD, to increase the size of the ice binding surface area. For comparison, variants of the AFP with mutations outside the IBS were also made. The resultant antifreeze activity of the mutants was examined and compared to the wild type
RmAFPI (WT).

Materials and methods
Gene design and cloning
Based on a crystal structure of an AFP from R. inquisitor (RiAFP, PDB-4DT5), which is closely related to, and shows 76.5 % amino acid homology with, RmAFPI , the tertiary structure of RmAFPI was deduced using the modelling software PyMOL (DeLano Scientific). Through the resultant model, amino acids comprising a complete internal coil were located (Figure 4B) and two rmafpl genes were designed to either remove or duplicate this coil in the protein. The resulting mutant AFPs are denoted '÷Coil' and '+Coil', respectively. From the model (Figure 4B), two apparently disruptive amino acids, histidine (H21) and lysine (K23), located in the IBD closest to the N-terminal were identified, and rmafpl genes with the substitutions H21T, K23T or both were designed. These mutants are denoted Ή', 'K' and Ή+Κ', respectively. Two variants with mutations outside the IBD were also designed, functioning as controls. One of these had a C-terminal tag added, consisting of five glycines, while the other had two amino acids located on the non-ice facing side substituted with leucine (T53L and T57L). Furthermore, a variant where the N-terminal His-tag was not removed from the WT was also studied. These control mutants are denoted 'AFP-Gly', 'AFP-Leu' and 'His-AFP', respectively.
Genes, flanked by Ndel and Hindi 11 restriction sites, encoding for the seven AFP mutants were ordered at Genscript Inc. The genes were inserted into the pQE-2 expression vector (Qiagen). The vector introduces an N-terminal His-tag to the protein during expression. All variants of the rmafpl genes were designed with an additional lysine codon in the 5' end, just downstream the Ndel site. The lysine functioned as a stop amino acid when the His-tag was enzymatically cleaved off with DapAse (Qiagen). The final constructs were transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells.
Expression and purification
Expression of all the proteins was carried out as described in Kristiansen E, Wilkens C, Vincents B, et al. Hyperactive antifreeze proteins from longhorn beetles: some structural insights. Journal of Insect Physiology. Nov 2012;58(1 1):1502-1510. The obtained heat treated cytosol was sterile filtered and applied to a HisTrap FF column with a column volume (CV) of 5 ml (GE Healthcare Life Sciences), using an Akta FPLC system (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). The column was washed with 4 CV buffer (50 mM NaCI, 10 mM imidazole, 25 mM Tris-HCI, pH 8). The bound protein was eluted by applying an imidazole gradient from 10-200 mM in 8 minutes. All flow rates were 2 ml/min. The fraction containing AFP was collected and dialysed for 24 h against >750 x volumes of water (MWC01000 Da) and subsequently lyophilised. To remove the His- tags the lyophilised protein was resuspended in 20 mM NaH2P04, 150 mM NaCI, pH 7.0 and cleaved for 30 min at 37 °C with His-tagged DapAse. The product was then applied onto a HisTrap FF column (CV 1 ml) in order to remove enzymatically released histidine, any remaining His-tagged recombinant protein and the DapAse enzyme. The run through was dialysed as described above and lyophilised. The lyophilised untagged RmAFPI was dissolved in a 50 mM KH2P04/K2HP04-buffer pH 7.0 and dilution series spanning 1.2 to 0.075 mg/ml AFP were made and stored at -18 °C until used. The protein concentration was determined using the BCA assay which was standardised based on an amino acid analysis (Department of System Biology, DTU, Denmark) previously made on RmAFP
Antifreeze activity measurement
The antifreeze activity was measured using a Clifton nanolitre osmometre (Clifton
Technical Physics, USA) as described in Kristiansen E, Wilkens C, Vincents B, et al. Hyperactive antifreeze proteins from longhorn beetles: some structural insights. Journal of Insect Physiology. Nov 2012;58(11):1502-1510.
Results
Mutations outside the IBS
The hysteresis activity of all the non-IBS mutants (WT, AFP-Gly, AFP-Leu and His- AFP) are plotted against the protein concentration in Figure 5A. All three mutants show activity comparable to the WT. The activity of these mutants, and the WT, show a linear relation with the logarithm of the concentration (Figure 5B). The slopes of WT, His-AFP and AFP-Leu are very similar (Table 2) indicating that these mutations did not affect the activity. The slope of AFP-Gly is slightly lower, hence even though showing the same activity as the other mutants at low concentrations the AFP-Gly will become less potent as the concentration is increased.
Mutations inside the IBS
The results from the activity measurements of the IBS mutants (H, K, H+K and +Coil) are presented in Figure 5D together with the WT. The mutant ÷Coil showed no activity. The other mutants show a larger increase in activity than the WT when the
concentration is initially increased, resulting in significantly higher hysteresis at low concentrations. At 20 μΜ the most potent mutants (H+K and +Coil) show twice as high hysteresis as the WT. However, the activities of the mutants seem to level off earlier than the WT, hence the enhanced activity is less pronounced at higher concentrations. Among the mutants, the H variant shows the least activity and is only more active than the WT at concentrations below 65 μΜ. The K mutant is slightly more active than the H mutant, and only more active than the WT at concentrations below 105 μΜ. The H+K mutant is more active than both the H and K mutants, and shows higher activity than the WT throughout the measured concentrations, as does the +Coil mutant. When plotting the activity of these mutants against the logarithm of the concentrations we do not obtain linear relations (Figure 5E) as was the case with the non-IBS mutants (Figure 5B). On the contrary, linear relation is obtained when plotting the activity against the inverse logarithm of the activity (Figure 5F). Here it is also seen that the H, K and H+K mutants have almost identical slopes, while the +Coil mutant has a steeper slope, thus showing increasingly higher activity than the other mutants with increasing protein concentration. The equations describing all activity curves are presented in Table 2.
The relative amount of WT protein needed to evoke the same hysteresis as the mutants are presented in Figure 6. It requires close to 100 % of the WT to obtain the activities evoked by the non-IBS mutants (AFP-Leu and His-AFP depicted) in the measured concentrations. The mutants H+K and +Coil, however, show an increase up to above 300 % of the WT concentration at the peaks around 4.0-4.5 °C. Hence, to obtain a hysteresis of 4 °C requires more than three times as much protein of the WT than of the H+K variant. Above 4.5 °C the antifreeze activity curves decreases again, and at 6.1 and 6.5 °C the curves (for H+K and +Coil, respectively) are below 100 %. Here, a lower concentration is required of the WT than those of the H+K or +Coil mutants to evoke the same antifreeze activity.

Discussion
In this study we used the empirical relationship describing the antifreeze activity as a function of the concentration of AFP in the wild-type and mutants, in order to examine the importance of naturally occurring irregularities in the ice-binding motifs of an AFP from the beetle R. mordax.
It is well documented that the activity of AFPs may be affected by various molecules. Most notably, antifreeze activity is elevated in the presence of both low- and high molecular mass compounds known as 'enhancers'. Such enhancers include salts, polyols, sugars, polycarboxylates and proteins that have no antifreeze effect on their own. It has even been even reported that certain combinations of isoforms of the AFP in D. canadensis have a synergistic effect, apparently resulting from a physical interaction between these isoforms. In the case of salts, the effect on antifreeze activity mirrors the salting-out effect both qualitatively and quantitatively, implying that the effect arises from a salt-induced lowering of the solubility of the proteins in solution. This lowered solubility apparently shifts their distribution in favor of the ice/water interface, causing more AFPs to become available to adsorb onto the forming ice surface when the temperature is lowered. The effect of interaction with non-ice binding proteins on antifreeze activity has been interpreted as a consequence of the larger AFP-protein complex is covering a greater area of the ice surface.
A number of site-directed mutagenesis studies have been carried out where disruptive residues were introduced to elucidate the features of the IBS or its location on the protein surface in both fish and insect AFPs. In contrast, in the present study we removed the naturally occurring amino acids in the IBS that are presumed to be disruptive, and observed an improvement of the activity. In the H+K mutant, where both substitutions were made, we observed a higher improvement of the activity than when only a single residue were replaced (H or K mutants), indicating that the effects of the substitutions are cumulative. No significant change in activity was seen for AFPs that were mutated outside the IBS.
Within the eight known isoforms of the RmAFP, position 21 is occupied by H in four isoforms, N in two isoforms and T in two isoforms, whereas position 23 is occupied by K in all cases. The closely related R. inquisitor expresses an AFP that is structurally very similar to those found in R. mordax and in this protein the H21 and K23 are also preserved (Table 1). Their preservation among the isoforms and species suggests that the apparently disruptive residues H21 and K23 are functional. The observed improved activity upon their replacement suggests that their functionality might be separate from that of the ice binding threonine residues. They may act as stabilisers of the protein structure, however, the successful bacterial expression of active protein with the mutations H21T and/or K23T seems not to lend much support to this notion. An alternative functionality may for instance be at the translocation stage of the protein, or maybe in interaction with non-AFPs. Transcription of six isoforms of CfAFPs show developmental specific expression pattern and MpAFPs show transcription during the summer which indicates that the AFPs have some other functions than antifreeze activity. Hence, the irregularities in the IBS, both in RmAFPI and in general, could be related to these functions.
When making alterations to a native protein there is a risk of impairing its structural stability. This seems to have been the case with the ÷Coil mutant that showed no thermal hysteresis activity. The cause of this is likely to be a restructuring or misfolding of the protein leading to disordered ice binding domains. The +Coil mutant, however, seem to have maintained its structure as it shows high antifreeze activity. The occurrence of different numbers of coils in the AFPs is also observed among isoforms in several species of insects and, where tested, the larger isoforms were the most active. However, there is seldom more than a few coils difference between the isoforms, thus there seems to be an upper limit to the number of coils that would benefit the AFPs. This is also supported by the results of Marshall et al. following removal or addition of coils in the Tm4-9AFP isoform (Marshall CB, Daley ME, Sykes BD, Davies PL. Enhancing the activity of a β-helical antifreeze protein by the engineered addition of coils. Biochemistry. Sep 2004;43(37): 11637-11646). Mutants lacking a coil showed strongly reduced activity, while mutants with one and, especially, two extra coils showed enhanced activity. Additional coils resulted in only slightly higher activity than the wild type. Marshall et al. propose that this low enhancement were due to a reduced match of the longer AFPs or an increased conformational flexibility. Some observations indicate that the size of the AFP itself has an effect on the activity, e.g. fusing green fluorescent protein to RiAFP resulted in increased activity. Similar results have been observed in fish AFPs. However, when fusing two AFPs, hence increasing the ice binding area, the increased activity is much more pronounced. The activity of the WT RmAFPI show a linear relation with the logarithm of the concentration, as also seen in the closely related RiAFP. However, none of the activities of the IBS mutants showed this relation. Here we found a linear relation when plotting the activity against the inverse logarithm of the concentration. While this relation applies to all the mutants with manipulated IBS, all mutants with intact IBS show the same log linear relation as the WT. Hence, the change in the activity seems to be related to the manipulation of the IBS, whether they are single amino acid substitutions or insertion of an entire coil. Mutations made within an AFP from the fish Pseudopleuronectes americanus gave similar results, as the activity of the wild type showed a linear relation with the square root of the concentrations, while the mutants showed slightly curved relations. The reason for the changed activity curves could be a change in the binding pattern caused by an increased or decreased affinity for specific planes on the ice crystal. This is supported by the fact that many mutational studies have reported a change in ice crystal morphology during activity measurements.
Although no such systematic study was made on ice morphology in our experiments, it was observed that at times the ice crystals formed in the presence of the mutants resembled that of a cube or a bipyramid. This effect was most pronounced for the mutant H+K.
The activity of the mutants with modified IBS showed linear relation after inverse log transformation of the concentration (Figure 5E). Interestingly, the slopes of H, K and H+K mutants are parallel while the slope of +Coil is steeper. This could be a result of two factors acting together - firstly, an increase in the number of ice binding threonines as the case for the other IBS-mutants, and secondly, an increase in protein size, which, as stated above, in itself could increase the specific activity of antifreeze proteins. The size of the +Coil mutant increased by 14 % compared to the WT and other IBS mutants (12.5 to 14.3 kDa).
The different nature of the activity curves, the log"1 relation, implies that the IBS- mutants show a larger increase in activity than the WT (and the non-IBS mutants) when the concentration is initially increased, and, for instance, to obtain a hysteresis of 4 °C only one third concentration of the H+K mutant is needed compared to the WT. At high concentrations this difference will level out and finally the WT will show the highest activity. For the most potent mutant, +Coil, the WT becomes the most active at concentrations above 270 μΜ (6.6 °C hysteresis) as illustrated in Figure 6. Hysteresis in the haemolymph of R. mordax has been measured to above 9 °C8. The WT protein is more efficient to obtain such activity than any of the IBS-mutants. One of the IBS- mutants, H, is also found among the isoforms of RmAFP, though with some diversity in the non-IBS. Thus, it could be that the insect benefits from having isoforms that exert high activity at low concentrations and isoforms that are more effective at high concentrations.
The underlying mechanism that determines the relation between the activity and the concentration of insect AFP seems complex. Through a theoretical deduction the activity is expected to have a linear relation with the square root of the protein concentration and pass through the origin, which is the case for fish AFPs (Figure 7). However, why we observe a different relation for RmAFPI is not yet clarified. As other insect AFPs neither follow a square root relation, some of the explanation is probably related to the 'hyperactivity' phenomenon of insect AFPs, and the fact the insect AFPs bind more ice planes than fish. However, varying activity dependence on protein concentration is seen among insect AFPs, as shown in Figure 8, which indicates a more complex relation, also evident by their different distribution on the ice crystal visualised by fluorescent tags. This complexity is further backed up by the fact that single amino acid substitutions within the IBS, as we show here, changes the pattern of the activity's correlation with protein concentration. We speculate that the native purpose of these irregularities within the IBS, H21 and K23, are to prevent dimerisation of two AFPs at the IBS, at expense of perfect ice lattice match. Hence, the feature of the IBS may be a balance between a perfect ice matching face and the prevention of dimerisation with other IBS. In addition, the removal of charged amino acids will make the protein less soluble which again could be in favour for an increased activity.
Another explanation to the changed curves, could be that the mutant had an increased affinity for a specific ice plane, but a decreased affinity for others. This would mean fewer total binding sites, but a stronger or more successful interaction for the recognised sites. In that case the activity would be higher at low concentrations, but lower at high concentrations, as we also observe.
Conclusion
Through site directed mutagenesis, four variants of the RmAFPI with modified ice binding sites were obtained. The mutants either had an extra coil inserted or had the intrusive H21 and K23 amino acids substituted with the ice binding T. All mutants showed increased activity at low concentrations, and especially the mutant where H21T and K23T substitutions were combined and the mutant with an extra coil showed enhanced activity over the wild type. However, when extrapolating the activity curves, the wild type would become the most active AFP when concentrations exceeded 270 μΜ. This phenomenon is due the change in the activity's dependence of protein concentration which is observed when manipulations are made in the ice binding site, however, the mechanism underlying the phenomenon is still unclear.
Example 6
The gene construct of RmAFPI
One vector that can be used for cloning RmAFP such as RmAFPI is the commercial pQE-2 plasmid from Qiagen. This is a high-expression vector based on the T5 promoter under control of the lac-operon. A sequence encoding a His-tag consisting of the amino acids sequence MKHHHHHH is located upstream of the multiple cloning site. The gene encoding for RmAFP is inserted in the very 5' end of the multiple cloning site with the restriction enzymes Ndel and Hindi 11. A lysine codon was inserted in the 5' end of the RmAFPI gene. The lysine functioned as a stop amino acid for the dipeptidase DapAse that were used to cleave of the His-tag. The translated product had the amino acid sequence; MK-HH-HH-HH-HM-K(RmAFPI).
The dashes illustrate the cleavage sites of DapAse. The final product obtained after cleavage was thus the native RmAFPI sequence with an N-terminal lysine attached. Unless stated otherwise, this extra lysine was also present in the mutants used in this study. The bacterial strain used as host in this project was the protease deficient BL21 (genotype: F-, ompT, Ion, hsdSB (rB-mB-), gal, dcm).
Final expression and purification protocol
The RmAFPI , and all the mutated derivations, were all produced and purified as follows;
One bacterial colony was used to inoculate 250 ml LB medium containing ampicillin (100 μg/ml) in 1 L baffled flasks. The flasks were incubated at 37 °C over night (ON) with rotational shaking at 120 rounds per minute (rpm).
750 ml fresh cold lysogeny broth (LB) medium with ampicillin was added and the culture was put at 4 °C for 30 minutes. The culture was divided into four 1 L baffled flasks and placed at 30 °C and 120 rpm. After 30 minutes isopropyl β-D-l- thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) was added to a final concentration of 1 mM to induce the expression of the RmAFPI . After 3 hours the cells were harvested by centrifugation at 4,000 g for 10 minutes at 4 °C. The pellets were resuspended in R-buffer (50 mM NaCI, 10 mM imidazole, 25 mM tris, pH 8) and a protease inhibitor cocktail was added (final concentration: 0.1 % NaN3, 5 mM benzamidine, 10 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The cells were lysed in a French press through four cycles at around 700 pounds per square inch. The product was spun down at 20,000 g for 20 minutes at 4 °C. The supernatant was frozen down until the next day. The cytosol was thawed and transferred to 15 ml falcon tubes. The tubes were placed in 60-65 °C water for 10 minutes for heat denaturation, precipitating the majority of concomitant proteins. The product was spun down at 10,000 g for 10 minutes and the supernatant was filtered through 8.0, 0.8, 0.65 and lastly 0.45 μηι filters. The purification was performed on the Akta-basic fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) system (Amersham Pharmacia). The cytosol was applied to a pre equilibrated (R-buffer) nickel sepharose column 'HisTrap' (GE healthcare life sciences) with a column volume (CV) of 5 ml. A sample corresponding to maximum 1 ½ L of expression culture was applied to the column and flushed with R-buffer for 20 minutes before an imidazole gradient was started. The gradient went from 10 mM to 200 mM in 20 minutes to elute the protein. All flow rates were 2 ml/min. The fraction with AFP was collected and dialyzed ON against > 1 ,000 volumes of water at 4 °C in a 1 ,000 molecular weight cut off membrane. The next morning the water was changed, and after 6 hours the sample was frozen to -80 °C and freeze-dried ON. The lyophilized protein was dissolved in cleavage buffer (20 mM NaH2P04, 150 mM NaCI, pH 7) and the concentration was determined by the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay. DapAse was activated by cysteamin for 5 min at room temperature and 25 mU per mg of RmAFPI was added to the solution. The sample was set to cleave at 37 °C for 30 minutes under slow shaking. The cleaved product was applied to an equilibrated (cleavage buffer) 1 ml HisTrap column and the flow through containing the untagged RmAFPI was collected. The protein was dialyzed as previously, frozen and freeze- dried before experiments.
The protein was solubilized in a relevant buffer often determined by the experiments to be performed supplementary to the activity measurements. The sample where spun down at 10,000 g for 10 minutes to remove any unsolubilized matter. Finally the protein concentration was measured by BCA assay.
Protein quantification
As the RmAFPI had a low content of charged and hydrophobic amino acids staining with coomassie brilliant blue was weak. Furthermore, the low content of aromatic amino acids implies a very low extinction coefficient at 280 nm, thus making the absorbance at this wavelength a poor estimate of the protein concentration as well. The assay used for protein determination of RmAFPI was the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay. Here, BCA and Cu+2 ions are mixed with a protein sample. At high temperatures the Cu+2 ions reacts with the peptide bond and forms Cu+1. BCA and Cu+1 then react and form a compound that absorbs at 562 nm. In this project a commercial BCA-kit (Sigma-Aldrich) was used to determine RmAFPI concentrations. 1 ml BCA-solution and 20 μΙ Cu+2 (4 % W/V) per sample was mixed. 1 ml of the mixture was transferred to a 1.5 ml E-tube containing 50 μΙ of protein sample (or corresponding blank), and incubated at 60 °C for 15 minutes. The samples were transferred to cuvettes and measured at 562 nm in a spectrophotometer. Often 3-4 protein dilutions were made to create a standard curve.
To get a reference point for the measurements, a sample was sent for amino acid analysis (Department of System Biology, DTU, Denmark). The result from this analysis was correlated to the absorbance measurements i.e. an absorbance of 3.6 AU at 562 nm of pure RmAFPI was found to correspond to 1 mg/ml in the 50 μΙ protein sample (before being mixed with BCA solution).
Activity measurements
The antifreeze activity was measured with a Clifton nanoliter osmometer (Clifton Technical Physics, USA). Samples of approximately 10 nl were submerged in liquid paraffin located in six wells of a thin aluminum plate. This plate was fixed on a cooling element with a heat transferring paste. The samples were initially cooled to -40 °C to freeze them out. The frozen samples were heated to a temperature just above the expected melting point. The temperature was then slowly raised until one small ice crystal remained. The temperature was noted. The crystal was left for stabilizing for about one minute before the temperature was lowered with about 1 °C/min while observing the crystal through a microscope. In the presence of AFPs the ice crystal does not grow initially when the temperature is lowered. At some point during the cooling, rapid ice formation occurs (shown in Figure 9), and the temperature is noted. The difference between the stabilizing temperature and the hysteresis freezing point was taken as the antifreeze activity. Samples for activity measurements generally consisted of dilution series often spanning 0.075-1 .2 mg/ml protein was kept at -18 °C until measured. Often 5-6 repeated measurements were performed on the same sample, not necessarily in the same well, during the activity assessment. To improve the conditions of measuring, the osmometer was positioned in a climate room where the temperature and humidity was kept low, to prevent the glass on the sample holder to steam up.
Differential Scanning Calo metry
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the melting temperature of proteins. In DSC, the transfer of heat to a sample and a reference is measured as a function of cell temperature and thus any differences in heat capacity is tracked. The sample and reference are usually heated at a constant rate while the heat flow to each cell is monitored. As it takes energy to unfold a protein, more heat needs to be transferred to the sample to maintain the heating rate, and thus the unfolding will cause an oscillation in the thermal profile. After a blank run has been subtracted from the scan, the enthalpy of unfolding can be obtained by integrating the peak on the thermal profile and adjusting for the protein concentration in the sample.
In the present study an N-DSC III model 6300 (TA Instruments) was used. The buffer used for the experiments was a potassium-free phosphate buffered saline (PBS, 137 mM NaCI, 10 mM Na2HP04, pH 7.4) as the potassium was found to influence on the measurements. Protein samples (0.25 mg/ml) and references were degassed for 10 minutes prior to use and loaded on the DSC.
In experiments aiming at determining the refolding abilities of RmAFPI , successive scans were made from 1 °C to three different temperatures well above the melting temperature, with a scan rate of 1 °C/min. The enthalpy of unfolding was calculated for each run, and the percentage decrease in this value, i.e. the peak size, was taken as the percentage of the proteins that had not refolded, likely due to protein aggregation. Between each run, the temperature was held at 1 °C for 45 minutes to facilitate the refolding, and thus bringing the protein sample in equilibrium.
In experiments aiming for determining the melting temperature of RmAFPI , heat scans from 10-60 °C at different heating rates were performed. The temperature at the peak of the resulting thermal profiles indicated the melting temperature (Tm). This value was very dependent on the scan rate, and did not reach a stable level even at very low scan rates, thus a valid Tm of RmAFPI could not be obtained with this method. The Tm was determined through circular dichroism spectroscopy instead. Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
Circular Dichroism (DC) spectroscopy was used to elucidate characteristics of the secondary structure of protein. In short, the proteins rotates plane polarized light in a manner that is dependent of the composition of its structural elements. The spectrum is thus a quantitative structural description of the protein, and can be computed to reveal an overall percentage of either a-helix, β-structure or random coils.
In the present study the protein configuration was monitored by a Jasco J-715 circular dichrometer equipped with a thermostat accessory. All experiments were made with a N2 flow rate of 5 L/min and with a scan rate of 50 nm/min. Before measurements, the CD was calibrated with a standard solution of 0.6 mg/ml ammonium D-10- camphorsulfonate to 190.4 ± 1.0 mdeg at 291 nm. The protein samples were dissolved in potassium-free PBS to a protein concentration of 0.25 mg/ml. A quartz cuvette with a path length of 1 mm holding 220 μΙ of sample was used. The samples were scanned from 190-250 nm. The composition of the protein's secondary structure elements was determined through CD. Firstly, the spectra of RmAFPI obtained at 1 °C (all proteins are in the folded native state) and at 50 °C (all proteins are unfolded) were obtained. The milli-degree values (measurement of circular ellipticity) at 218 nm (mdeg218) of the two spectra were used as extreme vales for the determination of protein configuration. From here the protein melting temperature and the refolding rates were obtained by monitoring the spectra at different temperatures.
To apply this method, we had to make the assumption that there is linear relation between the changes in mdag218 and the amount of protein in the folded (or unfolded) state. Thus if the value of mdeg218 is right between the two extreme values we presume that the proteins are folded (or unfolded) 50 % of the time. Some factors could interfere with this assumption, e.g. if the temperature itself had an effect on the circular ellipticity. However, the neat sigmoid curve of mdeg218 obtained at different temperatures around the protein melting temperature indicates that the assumption, and method, is valid. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
In the present study reversed phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) was performed, i.e. separation with a hydrophobic stationary phase, as the method was used to quantify the relative hydrophobicity of different RmAFPI mutants. The experiments were run at 10 °C on a HPLC (Agilent series 1 100) using a Purospher RP-18 column (Merck) with a column volume of 1 .6 ml. The two mobile phases used were a KP04 buffer (50 mM K2HP04/KH2P04, pH 7) and pure MeOH. The column is equilibrated with >10 CV of 60 % KP04 buffer 40 % MeOH before experiments with a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. Before application, 60 μΙ of 1 mg/ml protein sample was mixed with 40 μΙ MeOH. 20 μΙ of the sample was applied on the system. After 5 minutes of wash, a gradient towards 100 % MeOH in 60 minutes was started (1 %/min). The absorbance at 210 nm of the eluate was continuously monitored and the elution time (time of the maximum absorbance value) was noted. Three runs of each mutant were performed. The method gave quite consistent elution times (within 0.1 minutes) among the replicates.
Example 7 - Improving yield and purity of recombinant RmAFPI
The bjective of this study was to improve the method used for recovery of recombinant RmAFPI Preceding purification strategy
The existing purification method was based on a glutathion S-transferase (GST)-AFP fusion protein, with a cleavage site recognizable by thrombin between the proteins. The gene was inserted in the pGEX-2T plasmid and expressed in E. coli.
After protein expression the cells were lysed with French press. The cytosol was dialyzed against a tris-buffer (0.1 M tris, 0.1 M NaCI, pH 7) ON, and filtered (0.45 μητι). The filtered cytosol was recirculated at 0.5 ml/min ON over a column containing glutathione-sepharose, which GST binds to, then washed and the fusion protein was eluted with free glutathione. The product was subjected to ultrafiltration for 6 hours to increase protein concentration. This also caused formation of fibrous structures, probably protein multimers. The protein concentration was determined by the 280 nm absorbance and a calculated extinction coefficient, and a specified amount of thrombin was added based on the concentration of the fusion protein. The cleavage ran at 4 °C ON. The cleavage was not complete, but a breakdown of AFP during cleavage was observed (through SDS-PAGE analysis), so prolonging the cleavage time would not be beneficial. The sample was filtered to remove fibrils, and applied to a Superdex 75 column (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) for size exclusion separation. The separation of AFP and GST was not optimal and contaminated samples of AFP were obtained. Furthermore, the formation of multimers, the incomplete cleavage and the ongoing breakdown of AFP during cleavage all contributed to the low yield of the final product.
Development of the purification protocol
As many steps in the existing purification protocol needed optimization, several phases of the purification strategy were changed. The considerations and development of the new protocol are described here, and divided into four major groups or trials that underlie the progression of the purification protocol.
Setup 1
Major changes were made in the first design of an improved protocol. The changes and reasoning thereof are described here, followed by a discussion of the outcome.
To improve the binding affinity, the GST-tag was substituted with a 7xHistidine tag which is one of the most used affinity tags. At the same time the vector was changed to pQE-2 (Qiagen) as this vector was designed for high protein expression with N-terminal His-tags. The expressed protein had the sequence MKHHHHHHHMQ-(AFP)
The glutathione sepharose column was replaced with a HisTrap column to capture the RmAFP. The column volume was also decreased vastly, as the prepacked HisTrap column had higher binding capacity. The sample was applied with 2 ml/min once, instead of circulation ON. - As some impurities were seen after nickel affinity chromatography, a step with ion exchange chromatography was introduced.
The strategy for removing the tag was changed from the slow, ineffective thrombin to an endonuclease DapAse. This enzyme digests two amino acids from the N-terminal continuously until it encounters certain amino acids that cause it to stop. The relative unspecificity of the enzyme ensures a fast digest. To obtain a recombinant AFP without additional amino acids, a glutamine was introduced downstream the His-tag. This amino acid functions as a removable stop point for DapAse in combination with inclusion of the enzymes Q-cyclase and pGAPase (see Qiagens TAGZyme handbook39 for details). - As the AFP contains very few aromatic amino acids, the protein quantification assay was changed to the more suitable BCA assay.
A purification step of heat denaturation was included. The closely related RiAFP had long been purified from the haemolymph using this strategy, as the AFP did not precipitate during this treatment, as most of the protein did. After the change from GST-tag to His-tag, the size of the RmAFP had been more than halved, and the RmAFPI could be purified by heat treatment without precipitating. Activity measurements confirmed that the RmAFPI maintained its activity after heat treatment.
The changes above made the purification procedure much faster than the previous. Furthermore, the heat denaturation purification step removes a large part of the contaminant proteins, though not enough to get pure RmAFPI just by nickel affinity chromatography. The yield here is, however, increased substantially compared to the GST-AFP system. The RmAFPI was hard to purify using ion exchange chromatography (IEX) and some protein loss was unavoidable, likely due to a neutral isoelectric point and relatively few charged amino acids of the protein. Furthermore, the tag-removal procedure, involving three enzymes and multiple purifications steps gave rise to much protein loss and involved some uncertainties of over digestion by DapAse.
Setup 2
The changes performed for the second strategy were as follows; - To avoid the troublesome cleavage strategy a cleavage site for enterokinase was introduced in the N-terminal of RmAFPI . The enzyme recognizes a short amino acid sequence and cleaves C-terminally of this, thus leaving no extra amino acids on the AFP - a feature that was strived for. The amino acid sequence of the expressed protein was MKHHHHHHHMVGAELDDDK The new sequence was ordered at Genscript Inc., and the gene was codon optimized for E. coli at the same time. This should improve the translation process during protein expression and increase the yield.
The amount of expressed protein was greatly improved by the codon optimization. The success using IEX were slightly improved as the cleavage site of enterokinase contained four aspartic acids that slightly changed the isoelectric point. However, the cleavage with enterokinase was inadequate, and attempts with changing the temperature and cleavage time did not lead to success.
Setup 3
As DapAse at least showed a reliable and fast cleavage, the purification strategy was changed back to using this enzyme. Changes from setup 1 are;
Glutamine was substituted with an strong DapAse stopping amino acid (lysine) upstream of RmAFPL This would greatly simplify the tag removal procedure. However, this also implied that the obtained pure AFP would have an irremovable N-terminal lysine attached.
The IEX step was excluded as the nickel affinity purification step had been optimized in a degree that only a small fraction of contaminant proteins was observed. However, these proteins have affinity for the nickel sepharose complex and are thus removed in the final purification step where the cleaved sample is applied to a nickel column to remove DapAse, free His-tags and any uncleaved protein, thus leaving the cleaved protein pure.
This setup is the final protocol that is used to produce the RmAFPL The procedure is less time consuming than the initial procedure and the end product acceptable. However, after the procedure was well established, a new construct with a codon optimized RmAFPI to increase the yield.
Setup 4
A new gene was designed which was a codon optimized variant of the construct used in setup 3, but was similar on the protein level. Surprisingly, this construct did not give any protein yield, neither in cytosol nor in inclusion bodies. The construct was re- verified, new buffers were made and all equipment was sterilized to exclude the possibility of contamination without any changes in the outcome. Unfortunately, several codon optimized mutants was obtained at the same time as the wild time, and a lot of time was spend on trying to get these expressed, before it was discovered that the error was implied in the codon optimization.
Discussion
The final procedure (setup 3) that was used for expression and purification of the wild type (WT) and mutant proteins is described herein above.
Several other small scale optimization experiments that are not mentioned above were also performed. The possibility of optimizing the yield of RmAFPI from E. coli is still present e.g. if a codon optimized construct could be made. However, the obtained protocol gives plenty of AFP for the experimental studies, and no more time were put into optimization of the protocol in this project. Around 10 mg per liter of culture is obtained after nickel affinity chromatography. Around half of this is lost during the cleavage procedure. However, the AFP seem just as active with the His-tag attached, and depending on the application, the tag can by advantage be left on the protein. Unless other is stated, an untagged (though containing an extra lysine in the N- terminal) RmAFPI is used in the studies.
Example 8 - Heat stability of RmAFPI
The key methods for the study were circular dichroism (CD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The study can be divided in three subsidiary studies; determining the protein melting temperature, determining the degree of refolding and lastly determining the rate of refolding.
Protein melting temperature
The Tm was at first attempted to be determined through DSC as this is a common method for this purpose. However, we experienced that the apparent melting temperature was highly influenced by the scan rate of the DSC, and thus even the lowest scan rate would provide a biased apparent Tm. The Tm was instead determined though CD, where spectra were obtained in a wide temperature range. From here, the transition from the folded state at low temperatures to an unfolded state at high temperature was observed, and the temperature at which half the amount of protein had unfolded was defined as the Tm. This value was only 28.5 °C. Refolding abilities
With a Tm of 28.5 °C, RmAFPI must undergo refolding as it is active after the heat denaturation purification step. To determine the degree of refolding, RmAFPI was subjected to repeating exposures of high temperatures, while observing the change of enthalpy (ΔΗ) through DSC during each temperature scan. The relative drop in ΔΗ between each scan was interpreted as the fraction of protein that did not refold after the previous heat exposure. The calorimetric trace of 10 exposures to 60 and 80 °C are depicted in Figure 10 (scans to 70 °C was made as well but is not depicted).
On average, only a 1.0 % decline of the original ΔΗ was seen between each run to 60 °C and 6.5 % to 80 °C. The samples were retrieved and tested for activity and showed a drop in activity closely corresponding to what was expected from the observed drop in ΔΗ. Hence, the protein refolds into an active state. Interestingly, the sample which had taken the most heat (at 80 °C) showed a higher activity than expected, indicating that the damage obtained at this temperature is reversible if the protein is given more time to recover.
Rate of refolding
Through the study we observed that long equilibration times were necessary to obtain consistent results. This indicated that the (un)folding kinetics of the protein were relatively slow. To investigate the rate of folding, a sample of RmAFPI was heated to 50 °C for 12 minutes (until equilibrium was obtained), and then cooled to 1 , 5, 10, 15 or 20 °C. At these temperatures the CD spectra were measured continuously until the new equilibrium was obtained. Only the mdeg value obtained at 218 nm was used as to describe the protein configuration instead of the entire spectrum. The spectra obtained at 10 °C are depicted in Figure 11. The rate of refolding at all temperatures showed to be relatively slow. Furthermore, the rate showed to be faster at lower temperatures in the investigated interval, which is quite uncommon and might be connected to intermediate folding steps.
Discussion
It was unexpected to find such high heat tolerance for a protein that has its function below 0 °C. Furthermore, the heat resistance is not restricted to RmAFPI , but is seen in other insect AFPs to. However, while these AFPs cope with heat by having high melting temperatures, the RmAFPI has a high refolding capacity. The reason for the high heat tolerance could be that the proteins have other functions than antifreeze. This is supported by the fact that expression of AFPs has been seen during summer time. The other functions could be related to heat induced injury as the protein has been observed to protect bacterial cells from heat and to maintain enzyme activity.
Example 9 - Mutational study on RmAFPI
The ice interacting motifs of the insect AFPs are strongly believed to be the TxT sequences. However, many of the AFPs, here amongst the RmAFPI , have some irregularities in these consensus sequences, i.e. have the threonines substituted with other amino acids. Although many mutational studies have been carried out on the AFPs, none of them have had focus on these irregularities. Contrary, most of them have been concerning an introduction of more irregularities in order to point out the ice binding region of the protein. Some of the irregularities of the TxTxTxT motifs in RmAFPI were substituted with threonine to investigate the significance of the natural occurring irregularities for the antifreeze activity.
The mutants and their activities
The amino acids disrupting the TxTxTxT motifs of RmAFPI are H21 , K23 and S1 14. In this study H21 and K23 were substituted with T (both separately and together). These mutants are denoted Ή', 'K' and Ή+Κ', respectively. Furthermore, a mutant with an extra TxTxTxT motif was made by inserting an extra coil in the middle of the protein (denoted '+Coil'). Additionally a mutant with this coil removed instead of duplicated was also constructed, however this showed no activity and is not presented here. Mutants with changes outside the ice binding site were functioning as controls. These mutants are from a hydrophobicity study. All mutants were purified and dilution series were made. The observed activities are presented in Figure 12.
The activity measurements revealed that all the mutants with changed ice binding site (H, K, H+K and +Coil) showed higher activity than the WT at low protein concentrations. Especially the H+K and +Coil mutants showed increased activity. However, at high concentrations the WT was the most active.
All mutants with changes outside the ice binding site either showed no changes in activity or a slight decrease in activity when compared to the WT. Discussion
Looking at the activity curves, the activity of the mutants is only higher than the WT at low concentrations. To obtain hysteresis of above 6.5 °C, the WT is still the most effective. In the haemolymph of R. mordax, a hysteresis of 9 °C has been measured. This value is well above the limit where the WT is the most effective, thus making the mutants inferior to the WT. Furthermore, AFPs seems to have other functions than just antifreeze. These functions could be related to the irregularities seen in the AFP IBSs, thus making them essential for the organism.
In the attempt of improving the activity in vitro, we do not have to consider any possible functions the AFPs might have in the organism, other than the antifreeze, which gives us more possibilities when manipulating the protein. An improvement in this regard neither has to be an increase in maximal hysteresis. An improvement of the antifreeze activity at low protein concentration, without any increase in the maximal achievable activity could be valuable, especially when regarding the technological aspects of AFPs. If the AFPs are to be used in an industrial aspect, the possibility to gain the same effect at lower concentrations is crucial, and improves the cost benefit.
It might also be possible to increase the activity further by increasing the number of coils of the protein, thus increasing the size of the ice binding site.

Hvdrophobicitv and antifreeze activity
Previous studies have shown that certain solutes enhance the antifreeze activity. The enhancement evoked by different salts or ions follows their ability to lower the protein solubility. The hypothesis of this study was that if decreased solubility of the protein, as that evoked by some salts, increased the antifreeze activity, then a similar effect would be achievable by making the protein itself less soluble. This was attempted by creating mutants with hydrophobic tags at the end of the protein or by substituting hydrophilic amino acids on the non-ice binding face of RmAFPI with hydrophobic ones, thus increasing the hydrophobic surface area. Activity curves of the proteins were then to be made and compared to an obtained relative value of the solubility or hydrophobicity of the proteins and examined for any correlations. The mutants
The hydropathy index of the amino acids, i.e. how hydrophobic or -philic they are, differs between studies. When determined via RP-HPLC often the relative retention times of different peptides are used as an expression for their hydrophobicity. One of these studies on retention times has been performed by KOVACS et al [Kovacs, J. M., Mant, C. T. and Hodges, R. S. 'Determination of intrinsic hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of amino acid side chains in peptides in the absence of nearest-neighbor or conformational effects'. Biopolymers, 2006. Vol. 84 (3) p. 283-297.]. Here, retention times were measured for a series of nine amino acid long peptides with one differing acetylated amino acid (X) in the N-terminal (acX-G-A-K-G-A-G-V-G-L-amide) in different solutions. E.g. the order of retention times, starting with the highest value and thus the most hydrophobic, of the peptides dissolved in 10 M P04, 50 mM NaCI, pH 7 were:
Trp > Phe > Leu > lie > Met > Val > Pro > Cys > His > Ala/Thr/Arg > Gin > Ser > Asn >
Gly > Glu > Asp > Lys Based on this sequence, RmAFPI mutants were made with tags both in the hydrophobic, -philic and central part of the spectrum. Charged tags were avoided. Four mutants were designed consisting of RmAFPI with; a C-terminal leucine tag (5 amino acids), a C-terminal glycine tag (5 amino acids), a C-terminal threonine tag (5 amino acids), an N-terminal histidine tag (MKHHHHHHHM (this is the regular construct for expression before the tag is cleaved off)). These mutants were denoted 'AFP-Leu', 'AFP-Gly', 'AFP-Thr' and 'His-AFP', respectively.
Furthermore, a mutant was made where two amino acids on the non-ice binding face of AFP were substituted with leucine. However, in the beta sheet, the functional group of every other amino acid was exposed to the solvent while the others are buried into the core protein. As the structure of RmAFPI was not known for certain, it was not known which amino acids that were exposed to the solvent. Thus, two mutants were made, one in each 'frame', to ensure that one of them introduced solvent exposed amino acids. The two mutants had the substitutions A52L+S56L and T53L+T57L. These mutants are denoted 'AFP-FrameA' and 'AFP-FrameB', respectively. Antifreeze activities
The mutants were expressed and purified as previously. The lyophilized protein was dissolved in KP04 buffer, and dilution series were made for activity assessments. To obtain more comparable parameter to evaluate any changes from, the concentration was plotted both on a regular and on a logarithmic scale, as presented in Figure 13.
The low and almost non-existing activity of the AFP-FrameA mutants strongly suggests that the two leucines inserted here point their functional group into the protein. As leucines are larger than threonine, they have probably disrupted the structure of AFP and thereby impairing its activity. The AFP-FrameB mutant is almost as active as the WT, indicating a preserved structure and thus that the functional groups are solvent exposed.
The activity curves show that the mutations have had different effects on the proteins potency. The impact seen is manifested in either a change in the slope, a change in the intersect with the y-axis or both. The activity of all the mutants seems to follow a linear relation with the logarithm of the concentration, just as the WT, despite the changed activities. The slopes, intersects and R2 values of the linear fits are presented in Table 3 together with the results of the mutants' retention times.
Retention times
To quantify the hydrophobicity of the mutants, the proteins were subjected to RP-HPLC chromatography. The objective was to see if a pattern between the retention times on the HPLC (an expression of the hydrophobic surface area) and the relative activity of the mutants emerged. The method is described in herein above. Average elution profiles for all the mutants are presented in Figure 14. The retention times, given by the time of the peak value, are presented in Table 3.
To check for any correlation between the activities and retention times, the slopes and intersects obtained in the activity curves (Figure 13B), were plotted against the retention times of the different mutants. The results are presented in Figure 15.
No correlation was seen between the activity curves and the retention times, neither for the slopes nor the intersects, evident by the scattered plots in Figure 15. The vertical shift of the activity curves in Figure 13B is less than 0.3 °C from the WT for the His- AFP, AFP-Leu and AFP-FrameB mutants, and thus the intersect is not affected significantly either. The mutations give small activity changes compared to salts. This apparently low effect of the mutations could be the reason why no clear pattern emerges in the retention times. Another reason for the pour result could be that the RP- HPLC retention time, or the specific setup, was not at good method for measuring of the proteins solubility. Here the separation of the variants was very diverse and inconclusive. Through the experiment, it could be seen, at least, that the protein samples were quite pure.

Liquid-liquid extraction
The liquid-liquid extraction system is a way to quantify the solubility of e.g. proteins.
The basis of the method is a separation of compounds into two different immiscible liquids. The separation, or partitioning, depends on the relative solubility of the compound. Usually water and an organic solvent are used al the separation liquids, but many other compositions exist.
In short, when mixing water, organic solvent and a compound of interest, such as a protein, the water and organic solvent will form two phases as the solution settles. The protein is partitioned between the two phases, and the more soluble (here implicit soluble in water) the protein is, the larger fraction of the protein will partition in the water. Thus, the partitioning coefficient of the protein, i.e. the concentration of protein in one phase divided by the amount of protein in the other phase, represents the relative solubility of the protein. Initially a setup with water-dextran mixture was made to partition the RmAFPL However, the dextran inflicted with the BCA assay which was used for protein concentration determination. Some further investigations were made into useable phases, but the development of the setup was put on hold for the benefit of other studies. The main reason for this was that the activities of the mutants that these results were to be held up against, were almost identical and thus hard to prove any correlations among.
Solubility and antifreeze activity
The introduced mutations had different impacts on the activity. The effect of the mutation either shifted the slope of the curve, the intersect or both in the log-plot (Figure 13B). In this section it is elucidated how a change in the solubility of the protein could be expected to affect the activity curve.
The relation between the antifreeze activity (TH) and the concentration of RmAFPI seems to be log-linear. The equation for the activity can thus be written as;
TH = A * Log( [AFP] ) + B (1) Where A is the slope, B is the y-intersect and [AFP] is the molar concentration of the protein.
To introduce the aspect of solubility we have to define its impact regarding to the [AFP]. In the solubility theory of antifreeze activity, the activity is dependent on the concentration of AFP in the ice-water interface, [AFP]i. This is dependent on the concentration of AFP in the bulk solution, [AFP]b and the partition coefficient, K, between these two compartments (K = [AFP]i/[AFP]b). Thus, the 'active' amount of the AFP, [AFP]i, is the bulk concentration multiplied by the partition coefficient. This inserted into equation (1);
TH = A * Log( [AFP] h * X) + B (2)
When measuring the activities, the size of the ice crystals are minute compared to the entire sample. Therefore only a minute fraction of the AFP will be in the interface and thus will the concentration in the bulk practically be the same as the sample concentration ([AFP]b ~ [AFP]). Thus Eq (2) can be written as;
TH = A * L g AFP] * K) + B (3) This can be rewritten to:
TH = A * Log [AFP] ) + B + A * Log(K) (4)
Comparing this with Eq (1 ) we see that a joint not dependent on AFP concentration is added to the equation. Thus, changing the solubility, i.e. the partitioning coefficient, the TH is changed with A*log(K) degrees, regardless of the protein concentration. In a logarithmic plot (plotting Log(x) as x) the TH can be expressed as;
TH = A * x + B + A * Log( ) (5)
From here it is clear that a decrease in solubility (an increase in K) would cause an increase in the intersect value but maintaining the same slope, i.e. shifting the activity curve upwards. E.g. if the [AFP]i/[AFP]b partition is doubled, then K is increased with a factor of 2 and thus Log(K) is increased with 0.3. Thus the slope is shifted A*0.3 degrees up. This trend is the same qualitative effect that is observed when salts are added to AFP solutions, and supports the theory that the effects of salts are related to a change in the protein solubility.
Freeze-out experiments
A method of purifying AFPs is to freeze the proteins out of solution. Usually proteins are excluded from a growing ice front, while the AFPs are incorporated into it. Thus, when freezing out a part of a sample containing both AFPs and other proteins, the AFPs would be incorporated into the ice fraction, while the rest will be concentrated in the liquid fraction. This technique is here referred to as a freeze-out.
Some freeze-out studies were conducted on RmAFP The method was tested as it at the time was troublesome to obtaining pure, untagged RmAFPI (the tag was not sufficiently cleaved off with enterokinase), and it was speculated if this method could be used to purify an RmAFPI without any affinity tag if one such was constructed. The specific RmAFPI variant used for the freeze-out experiments was containing a His-tag and an enterokinase site in the N-terminal. Experimental setup
In the experiment a 500 ml beaker insulated in polystyrene was used to hold the sample. The beaker was placed on a magnetic stirrer in a 4 °C fridge. Outside the fridge a coolant bath was placed with a heating device was attached, enabling very fine temperature gradients. From the bath, cooled liquid was pumped into the fridge, through a brass cold-finger that was placed 1 cm into the sample, controlling the freeze-out.
Method
Initially, the cold-finger was placed 2 cm into Milli-Q water with the presence of ice and cooled to around 0 °C. When a small layer of ice had formed on the cold-finger, it was transferred to the protein sample. The samples were prepared by mixing 4 ml of AFP containing cytosol with 4 ml R-buffer followed by heat denaturing and centrifugation. The supernatant was mixed with 0.1 M NaCI solution to a volume of 150 ml. A magnet ensured slow stirring of the solution throughout the experiment. The cold-finger was placed 1 cm into the diluted protein solution. The ice on the part of the cold-finger that was in the solution would initially melt out. However, the ice fraction above the sample surface would not, and this ice fraction functioned as a nucleator when the temperature was lowered, thus preventing supercooling. A temperature gradient of 0.005 °C/min was then used, and the experiment ran for 16-18 hours. It is important to note that the gradient is linked to the coolant bath, and does not reflect the temperature in the sample precisely, because of the heat transfer between the air and the tubes and beaker.
The ice and the liquid were weighed to determine the ice fraction. The ice was superficially rinsed with cold Milli-Q water to remove surplus liquid sample on the ice surface. The ice was thawed and examined for protein content through SDS-PAGE. An experiment was also performed where the ice fraction was melted out, mixed with a NaCI solution to a final concentration of 0.1 M, and subjected to a second run of freeze out for 5 hours in order to improve the RmAFPI purity. Again the ice and liquid fraction were examined by SDS-PAGE. The purification in ice
The results of the two experiments described above are presented here. It is worth noting that the results are from two separate samples, and therefore the frozen samples from the first round of freeze out are not identical. All samples obtained from the freeze outs were run on a gel (presented in Figure 16), undiluted and not corrected for the different volumes they are obtained from.
When comparing lane 2 and 3 (liquid and ice fraction after approx. 50 % freeze out) it is evident that a vast majority of the RmAFPI is located in the ice fraction whereas the largest fraction of most of the other proteins are found in the liquid. However, the frozen sample is still far from pure RmAFPL When comparing lane 3 and 4, the ice fraction of a freeze out for two different samples, there is also a big difference in purity. The difference between these two samples is the size of the ice fraction. The ice fractions are 47.7 % in the experiment in lane 3 and only 28.6 % in lane 4. This shows that by freezing out a smaller fraction, the obtained sample is more pure, however, less total RmAFPI have been recovered. Comparing lane 4 and 5, the ice fraction of the first and second round of freeze out, an increase in purity is also observed. In this particular experiment only a small fraction was frozen out in the second round and a large amount of protein was lost in the large liquid fraction (96.6 %) as evident in lane 6.
Discussion
The results from our experiments show that a high degree of purity of RmAFPI can be obtained solely by heat denaturation and freeze out. However, large amounts of protein are still lost in the unfrozen fraction and a balance between purity and total yield has to be considered. These experiments are very preliminary, and with further optimization the yield and purity could most likely be improved greatly. However, the procedure will still be very time consuming as the slow rate of ice growth is crucial for a good result. On the other hand it is very simple and cheap. Another problem with the setup was to obtain consistent amounts of ice fractions among the experiments probably due to small variations in room temperature, coolant liquid flow rate or sample compositions. These errors can be minimized by a further improvement of the setup.
The method seemed promising, and could be relevant especially if the protein production scale is increased. The method is best suited for lager sample volumes, and could be useful to purify AFP from the growth medium, in which proteins are often secreted into in large scale production. The freeze out could then be used as a first step purification and concentration of the protein. Furthermore, the ice fraction could directly be freeze dried and concentrated further, as the freeze-out functions (ideally) as a dialysis step too. However, our preliminary results indicated some incorporation of salts into the ice during the freeze-out. By cooling 150 ml 100 mM NaCI with a rate of 0.005 C/min for 18.5 hours 27 % liquid remained unfrozen containing 280 mM NaCI. The ice was calculated to contain 28 mM NaCI. Though, we observed that this value was dependent of the cooling rate, as expected, and thus the incorporated salt could be kept to a minimum at very low rates. The freeze-out method is a well known method when working with AFPs and has also been used in other aspects that to purify the proteins. When freezing out ice in the form of a single crystal, the growing ice fronts consist of defined ice planes. Thus, AFPs interacting with specific ice planes will only bind to specific areas of the crystal. If using fluorescent tags, such as the green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to the AFP, this plane specific interaction can be detected. This method could also be used on RmAFPI , however, as the insect AFPs usually binds several ice planes no specific pattern is expected to be seen on the WT, but the method could be useful in mutational studies where the ice interaction is changed. Rows and columns mutants
One of the general differences between fish and insect AFPs is the nature of their ice binding site. While most fish's putative ice binding amino acids are placed in a line (1 dimension) the insects' are several parallel lines, giving a 2 dimensional (2D) ice binding site. The significance of having this 2D shape is not established. It could be possible that the hyperactivity of insect AFPs is manifested by the 2D shape, or maybe it is related to the other functions than antifreeze. Regardless, the 2D shape of the site implies that each threonine in the ice binding site will have more other neighboring threonines to interact with when facilitating the binding to ice, and could found the formation of a hydration layer that is one of the prevailing theories of the basis for the ice binding.
To investigate the significance of the 2D ice binding site, mutants where specific rows or columns of the threonines in the ice binding site were substituted with valine or serine were designed. These two amino acids have previously been used in mutational studies of AFP where they affect the activity of the protein without apparently disrupting the structure of the protein. It was hypothesized that the interactions between the threonines could be elucidated by creating mutants that removed the possibility of the interaction. The mutants that were created either removed the interaction between the rows of threonines or between the columns, by substituting every second row or column with serine or valine. Furthermore a mutant that substituted the threonines in a 'chessboard pattern' removed all interactions between the threonines. For clarity and overview, the different mutant's IBSs are shown in Figure 17. The mutants have all been cloned, and a small scale experiment showed expression of all mutants except the one with the two rows substituted with valine (bottom right in Figure 17).
Discussion
The intention of the mutants was to investigate the significance of the 2D structure of the ice binding site. If, for example, some patterns in the activity of the mutants emerge or some mutants induce the formation of bipyrimidal ice crystals, hopefully some general deductions could possibly be made of the significance of the 2D ice binding site, or the ice binding of insect AFPs in general. As the mutations are relatively extensive, it is possible that any observed effect on the activity could be related to an overall structural change instead if being isolated to the interactions between the threonines. However, the secondary structure of the mutants could be assessed though a CD analysis and compared to the WT to investigate this.
Unexpressed antifreeze proteins
Throughout the project, a lot of mutants have been constructed. Some of these did not yield any protein while other was expressed in large amounts, even though only minor changes were introduced. In this section all the constructed mutants will be presented and the factors that seem to affect the yield are discussed. An overview of the mutants and their expression is presented in the two tables below. Table 4 contains RmAFPI with various tags added and Table 5 contains RmAFPI with intrinsic mutations.

In general, the codon optimization seems to have a negative effect on the yield. The codon optimization (for E. coli) was initially performed by Genscript Inc. when the first mutant was ordered there. It is peculiar that the codon optimized RmAFPI is not expressed whereas the RmAFPI with the native DNA sequence is expressed, as these two variants have identical amino acid sequence. This point towards that it is not the antifreeze protein per se that is the cause of no yield, but that the problem must lie in the nature of the DNA or mRNA sequence. However, no experiments were conducted to investigate the presence of RmAFPI mRNA, but would be an obvious objective if further investigation of the expression were to be made. The fact that the codon optimized RmAFPI with an enterokinase site is expressed shows that very little changes in the DNA sequence determines whether the protein is expressed or not and that it is not the codon optimization per se that causes the problem. In other cases the codon optimization just seems to lower the yield.
Regarding other mutants, e.g. the mutant with two extra coils, the reason for the lack of expression is likely to be located at the protein level. Most likely the protein is misfolded and recognized and broken down by the bacterial protein degradation system. However, some mutants are still expressed in high levels but show no activity, i.e. the AFP-FrameA, which indicates a stabile misfolding. As a note, only some of the mutants that seemingly were not expressed were investigated for presence of protein in inclusion bodies. This was done by dissolving cell debris in 8 M urea. None of the investigated mutants showed any AFP in this fraction either.
The protein yield also seems to be dependent on which end of the protein the tags were added. E.g. for the glycine tag, the yield was zero when the tag was placed N- terminally (after the His-tag, before the RmAFPI) but the mutant with a C-terminal glycine tag gave a good yield. This tendency is also seen for the threonine and leucine tag, but an opposite result is seen with the lysine tag.
In conclusion, it just seems difficult to predict whether various mutants will prove to be expressed or not - in the system used in these studies anyway.
