Disclosed are protein switches that can sequester bioactive peptides and/or binding domains, holding them in an inactive ('off') state, until combined with a second designed polypeptide called the key, which induces a conformational change that activates (“on”) the bioactive peptide or binding domain, components of such protein switches, and their use.

De novo design of protein switches

Disclosed herein are nanostructures and their use, where the nanostructures include

Self-assembling protein nanostructures displaying paramyxovirus and/or pneumovirus F proteins and their use

De novo designed polypeptides that bind to IL-2 receptor βheterodimer (IL-2Rβ), IL-4 receptor αheterodimer (IL-4Rα), or IL-13 receptor α subunit (IL-13Rα) are disclosed, as are methods for using and designing the polypeptides.

De novo design of potent and selective interleukin mimetics

Conditionally active receptor agonists that, when activated, bind to IL-2 receptor βheterodimer (IL-2Rβ), IL-4 receptor αheterodimer (IL-4Rα), or IL-13 receptor a subunit (IL˜13 Rα) are disclosed, as are components of the conditionally active receptor agonists and methods for using the conditionally active receptor agonists.

Split interleukin mimetics and their use

De novo designed polypeptides that bind to IL-2 receptor βγheterodimer (IL-2Rβγ), IL-4 receptor αγheterodimer (IL-4Rαγ), or IL-13 receptor α subunit (IL-13Rα) are disclosed, as are methods for using and designing the polypeptides.

Described herein are polypeptides capable of self-assembling to form homo-oligomers, and methods for designing such polypeptides.

Computational design of self-assembling cyclic protein homo-oligomers

Wnt signaling antagonist and agonist compositions and methods for their use are provided.

Frizzled specific Wnt agonists and antagonists

The application discloses multimeric assemblies packaging one or more active component and their use to carry out nucleic acid regulation or gene editing.

Genome editing reagents and their use

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the high throughput screening of protein-protein interactions in yeast liquid culture. Protein fusions non-native to yeast may be expressed to replace endogenous sexual agglutination proteins and mediate library-by-library interrogation of protein interactions. The methods and compositions of the invention can be utilized for the characterization of protein interaction networks in high throughput for both binding affinity and specificity, which is crucial for understanding cellular functions, screening therapeutic candidates, and evaluating engineered protein networks.

High throughput protein-protein interaction screening in yeast liquid culture

Disclosed herein are designed heterodimer proteins, monomeric polypeptides capable of forming heterodimer proteins, protein scaffolds including such polypeptides, and methods for using the heterodimer proteins and subunit polypeptides for designing logic gates.

Orthogonal protein heterodimers

Beta-sheet forming polypeptides at least 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% identical to the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:1-24 are disclosed, together with their use and methods for designing beta-sheet forming polypeptides.

De novo designed non-local beta sheet proteins

Nanostructures and nanostructure-based vaccines that display antigens capable of eliciting immune responses to infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and pathogens are provided. Some vaccines are useful for preventing or decreasing the severity of infection with an infectious agent, including, for example and without limitation, lyme disease, pertussis, herpes virus, orthomyxovirus, paramyxovirus, pneumovirus, filovirus, flavivirus, reovirus, retrovirus, meningococcus, or malaria. The antigens may be attached to the core of the nanostructure either non-covalently or covalently, including as a fusion protein or by other means. Multimeric antigens may optionally be displayed along a symmetry axis of the nanostructure. Also provided are proteins and nucleic acid molecules encoding such proteins, vaccine compositions, and methods of administration.

Self-asssembling nanostructure vaccines

Disclosed herein are nanostructures and their use, where the nanostructures include (a) a plurality of first assemblies, each first assembly comprising a plurality of identical first polypeptides; (b) a plurality of second assemblies, each second assembly comprising a plurality of identical second polypeptides, wherein the second polypeptide differs from the first polypeptide; wherein the plurality of first assemblies non-covalently interact with the plurality of second assemblies to form a nanostructures; and wherein the nanostructure displays multiple copies of one or more paramyxovirus and/or pneumovirus F proteins or antigenic fragments thereof, on an exterior of the nanostructure.

De novo designed polypeptides that bind to IL-2 receptor &#x3b2;heterodimer (IL-2R&#x3b2;), IL-4 receptor &#x3b1;heterodimer (IL-4R&#x3b1;), or IL-13 receptor &#x3b1; subunit (IL-13R&#x3b1;) are disclosed, as are methods for using and designing the polypeptides.
