Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing hotspot-derived peptide-nucleic acid hybrid molecules based on in vitro evolution.
- This application claims priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0052389, filed on April 27, 2022, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0044921, filed on April 5, 2023, All contents disclosed in the specification and drawings of the application are incorporated into this application.
- SARS-CoV-2 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
- hACE2 human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2
- Viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 mutate to increase transmissibility, enhancing viral transmissibility over time and causing immune evasion. Since SARS-CoV-2 was first reported in 2019, many variants have emerged, with alpha (B.1.1.7), beta (B.1.351), and gamma (P) variants of concern (VOC).
- the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein which contributes to specific hACE2 recognition, is known to contain many common mutations. In particular, some positional mutations located in binding hotspots (e.g. N501Y) were found to increase the binding affinity of RBD to the target hACE2, thereby increasing the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2.
- affinity reagents can be an effective way to avoid viral infection by blocking specific interactions between the virus and host cells.
- a number of neutralizing affinity reagents have been developed for SARS-CoV-2 to recognize various epitopes of the spike protein, some of which are known to partially overlap with the hACE2 contact surface.
- the affinity reagent cannot specifically recognize the binding site, which inevitably reduces neutralization efficacy.
- non-competitive affinity reagents can be administered together, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued emergency use authorization for antibody cocktails such as REGN-COV2 due to the rapid emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants.
- FDA US Food and Drug Administration
- the present inventors inspired by the improved receptor recognition of virus variants, invented a new creation of a receptor-mimicking synthetic reagent that can strongly interact with the target virus and its variants. Specifically, we focused on peptide motifs of host cell receptors that contribute significantly to the binding free energy at the center of the virus-receptor interface. Without a stable but insoluble transmembrane domain, short hotspot peptides cannot maintain optimal binding ability to target viruses. In this process, it was synergistically integrated with a soluble nucleic acid that could act not only as a structural stabilizer but also as a binding cooperator.
- Hybrid ligands can be easily prepared by selectively isolating and amplifying aptamer-like scaffolds that maximize hotspot interactions from numerous hotspot peptide-binding random nucleic acids ( ⁇ 10 14 ), which can lead to strong binding to viral variants.
- HOLD Hotspot-Oriented Ligand Display

- step (f) preparing a new random nucleic acid library composed of the single-stranded DNA of step (e) and repeating the selection, amplification, and purification processes of steps (a) to (f).
- the production method may further include the step of inducing 3D folding of the nucleic acid by heat denaturing and cooling the peptide-nucleic acid hybrid after step (a).
- the hotspot peptide can be placed in the correct position and orientation, and a stable 3D aptamer scaffold can be fabricated that can maintain binding properties similar to or stronger than those of the receptor.
- the selective amplification of the nucleic acid portion in step (d) is carried out by adding at the 5' end one selected from the group consisting of hexynyl, 5-octadiynyl, and alkyne.
- Amplification may be performed using a forward primer to which the above functional groups are combined, but is not limited thereto.

- Example 1 In vitro selection of receptor-mimetic hybrid ligands and hotspots
- nucleic acids can provide a highly stable and water-soluble 3D scaffold capable of positioning hotspot peptides in the correct position and orientation, thereby maintaining receptor-like binding properties. This process is shown in Figure 1a.
- FIG. 1a For specific RBD-hACE2 interactions, several hotspot peptides have been reported to be approximately 30 amino acids or less in length, but apart from the insoluble hACE2 transmembrane receptor, flexible motifs are present on the hotspot surface of the receptor-binding domain (RBD). cannot be strongly combined. It is well known that, with negligible immunogenicity, nucleic acids are exceptionally hydrophilic due to the polar nature of the phosphate backbone.
- nucleic acids capable of structurally stabilizing hACE2-derived RBD binding peptides.
- compact, highly soluble peptide stabilizers allow for high-dose intravenous administration for virus neutralization.
- the role of nucleic acids can be further expanded as hotspot binding enhancers that allow them to cooperatively interact with target RBDs. In other words, there may be additional aptamer-like interactions centered on the monovalent peptide bond, which may further improve the hotspot binding ability of the hACE2-mimetic hybrid ligand.
- Hotspot peptide-supported aptamer scaffolds can be isolated in vitro by repeated cycles of selection and amplification from a large number of different nucleic acids ( ⁇ 10 14 ) site-specifically linked to hotspot peptides. This is shown in Figure 1b.
- the azide-tagged C-terminus of the peptide was site-specifically linked to the 5'-hexynyl terminus of a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) library by high-efficiency copper-catalyzed cycloaddition. It can be conjugated (step 1 in Figure 1b).
- ssDNA single-stranded DNA
- the peptide-nucleic acid hybrid library was rapidly cooled for unique 3D folding of individual ssDNAs.
- the RBD surface attracted the hotspot interactions of the hybrid ligand candidates, and magnetic separation led to the systematic separation of unbound peptide-DNA conjugates (steps 2–3 in Figure 1b).
- RBD binding of the hotspot peptide-linked round 7 (R7) pool was quantitatively assessed in a relative binding assay.
- random DNA libraries showed significantly lower levels of RBD binding.
- the peptide-nucleic acid hybrid library hybrid random library
- the binding fraction was only 0.38%, indicating that the hotspot peptide cannot bind strongly to the RBD without a stable scaffold.
- the R7 pool slightly increased RBD binding, resulting in a binding fraction of 5.74%, which is likely due to its own aptamer binding effect.
- the peptide-supported R7 pool dramatically improved its affinity for RBD, and its binding fraction (22.6%) was 59.37- and 3.94-fold more than that of the random DNA-peptide conjugate and the peptide-deficient R7 pool, respectively.
- This significant improvement in RBD binding is due to the synergistic interaction between the hotspot peptide and the newly evolved aptamer scaffold.
- the most optimal peptide-supported aptamer scaffold was identified in the R7 hybrid ligand pool using high-throughput sequencing and flow cytometry-based binding analysis. When more than 4 million DNAs were sequenced from the R7 pool, the three most abundant sequence families were found to occupy a high share (>18%). This is shown in Table 3 below (SEQ ID NOs: 16 to 22). Among the three sequence families, the most representative DNA sequence was synthesized with a 5'-hexynyl group for site-specific peptide binding and a 3'-FAM dye for flow cytometry-based binding analysis. For the 5'-linked hotspot peptides, the second most abundant DNA sequence (DNA domain of R7-02) was the strongest for RBD binding. In relative binding assays, the RBD binding fraction of R7-02 was approximately 5- and 8-fold greater than that of R7-01 and R7-03, respectively ( Figure 3A).
- the most potent hybrid ligand, R7-02 showed high affinity and specificity for the RBD at the correct position for hACE2 to bind.
- the K d of R7-02 was quantitatively measured, it was 5.702 nM for RBD ( Figure 3b, green), and the K d values of R7-01 (27.01 nM) and R7-03 (93.8 nM) were lower than those of R7-02. was much higher (Figure 3c).
- R7-02 exhibited sustained and sustained binding to the target surface of the RBD ( Figures 3e and 3f).
- hybrid ligands of hotspot peptides and aptamer scaffolds were synthesized with RBD-binding nucleic acid aptamers (CoV2-RBD-1C, CoV2-6C3, Aptamer-1), macrocyclic peptides (Peptide 4), or co-incubated with monoclonal antibodies (P05DHu and AM122). Most of these are known to block the binding interface between RBD and hACE2 ( Figure 3e). Additionally, the K d values of various RBD binders were confirmed under the same conditions for R7-02 ( Figure 3g).
- the hotspot peptide-nucleic acid hybrid molecule (R7-02) was confirmed to strongly bind to all reported VOCs of SARS-CoV-2 due to its high variant resistance in binding. Although it initially evolved to bind to the wild-type RBD through the HOLD process, the binding ability of the hybrid ligand also allows recognition of the highly mutated RBD of VOC. This allows powerful interaction with RBD's hotspot interface. VOC was found to have several key mutations, including N501Y, which results in a high interaction with the lysine of the LGKGDFR peptide in the hybrid ligand, thereby improving binding to the hACE2 receptor and transduction into host cells (Figure 4a).
- RBD-binding affinity reagents did not effectively inhibit RBD-hACE2 interaction because they were unable to block the precise hACE2 contact residues on the RBD surface.
- hotspot-derived RBD binding of R7-02 demonstrated efficient inhibition of RBD in hACE2 binding, indicating great potential for SARS-CoV-2 neutralization.
- SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing ability of the hotspot peptide-nucleic acid hybrid molecule was further confirmed.
- a pseudotype SARS-CoV-2 expressing both the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and green fluorescent protein (GFP) but lacking the self-replication function was prepared.
- the neutralization efficiency of R7-02 was analyzed by fluorescence by measuring the fluorescence intensity of GFP expressed only in cells infected by pseudotype SARS-CoV-2 ( Figure 5c).
- hACE2-overexpressing HEK-293T cell line (hACE2-293T) was pre-inoculated into microplates overnight and then challenged with pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 (0.5 multiplicity of infection, MOI) for 6 h for viral infection.
- MOI pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2
- the viral infection rate of R7-02 was found to be significantly lower or similar ( Figures 5f and 5g). Meanwhile, it should be considered that, unlike the most commonly used neutralizing antibodies, the hybrid ligand of the present invention is completely synthetic. In other words, the present invention can confirm the effect of efficient infection inhibition even though it has a low molecular weight (20 kDa), which is one-tenth of the monoclonal antibody.
- the chimeric structure of the peptide-aptamer hybrid ligand without additional modifications provides good new oligonucleotide modifications compared to well-known oligonucleotide modifications (e.g., phosphorothioate backbone, 2′-O-methyl, and 2′-F modifications) (Figure 5h). It showed clease resistance and serum stability, and showed great potential as a SARS-CoV-2 neutralizer.
- well-known oligonucleotide modifications e.g., phosphorothioate backbone, 2′-O-methyl, and 2′-F modifications
