Soluble glycosaminoglycanases and methods of preparing and using soluble glycosaminoglycanases
First Claim
1. A method for increasing the diffusion of an antibiotic in a tissue of a subject, comprising:
- administering to the tissue of a subject a composition containing a hyaluronidase glycoprotein in an amount sufficient to increase diffusion of the antibiotic, wherein;
the hyaluronidase glycoprotein consists of the sequence of amino acids set forth as amino acids 36-477, 36-478, 36-479, 36-480, 36-481, 36-482, or 36-483 of SEQ ID NO;
1, or contains amino acid substitutions in the sequence of amino acids set forth as amino acids 36-477, 36-478, 36-479, 36-480, 36-481, 36-482 or 36-483 of SEQ ID NO;
1, whereby the amino-acid substituted hyaluronidase glycoprotein consists of a sequence of amino acids that has at least 95% amino acid sequence identity with the sequence of amino acids set forth as amino acids 36-477, 36-478, 36-479, 36-480, 36-481, 36-482 or 36-483 of SEQ ID NO;
1;
the glycoprotein contains at least one sugar moiety that is covalently attached to an asparagine (N) residue of the polypeptide; and
the glycoprotein is active at neutral pH; and
administering to the tissue an antibiotic.

Abstract
The invention relates to the discovery of novel soluble neutral active Hyaluronidase Glycoproteins (sHASEGPs), methods of manufacture, and their use to facilitate administration of other molecules or to alleviate glycosaminoglycan associated pathologies. Minimally active polypeptide domains of the soluble, neutral active sHASEGP domains are described that include asparagine-linked sugar moieties required for a functional neutral active hyaluronidase domain. Included are modified amino-terminal leader peptides that enhance secretion of sHASEGP. The invention further comprises sialated and pegylated forms of a recombinant sHASEGP to enhance stability and serum pharmacokinetics over naturally occurring slaughterhouse enzymes. Further described are suitable formulations of a substantially purified recombinant sHASEGP glycoprotein derived from a eukaryotic cell that generate the proper glycosylation required for its optimal activity.
