Abstract
The present disclosure relates to polypeptides that are circular permutations of an I53-50A nanostructure, comprising, in N- to C-terminal order, a N-terminal polypeptide segment, a linking polypeptide segment, and a C-terminal polypeptide segment.
Claims32
A polypeptide that is a circular permutation of 153-50A, comprising an assembly domain,
- the assembly domain comprising, in N- to C-terminal order, a N-terminal polypeptide segment, a linking polypeptide segment, and a C-terminal polypeptide segment, wherein:
- I. a) the N-terminal polypeptide segment comprises residues 74-201 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a variant thereof, and the C-terminal polypeptide segment comprises residues 1-73 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a variant thereof;
- II. b) the N-terminal polypeptide segment comprises residues 107-201 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a variant thereof, and the C-terminal polypeptide segment comprises residues 1-106 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a variant thereof;
- or
- III. c) the N-terminal polypeptide segment comprises residues 128-201 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a variant thereof, and the C-terminal polypeptide segment comprises residues 1-127 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a variant thereof;
- wherein variants thereof are at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% identical to the reference sequence.

A polypeptide that is a variant of I53-50A having a C-terminal extension, comprising an assembly domain, the assembly domain comprising, in N- to C-terminal order, a base polypeptide segment and an extending polypeptide segment,
- Wherein the base polypeptide segment comprises a polypeptide sequence at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% identical to residues 1-201 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
