Grant: Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program - Collaborative R&D Initiatives

Corporation de l'École Polytechnique de Montréal

$99,880.00

High-quality proteins and tools for biologics development against COVID-19

FY 2020-21 · 2021-01-25

Summary
This Project has two objectives: 1. Acquiring an understanding of the Covid-19 viral translocation mechanism at the molecular level. More specifically, it will investigate if/how glycosylation of the viral spike protein and human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor modulates binding, and 2. How the glycan structure of the ADCC-attenuated Fc D270G mutant (Fc1X7) structure impacts interaction between Fcγ and FcRn receptors. The Fc1X7 is used as a fusion partner for COVID-19 therapeutic proteins and the information generated here will provide important information about enhancing their efficacy and safety.

Description (French)
L’objectif du projet est double. 1. Élucider le mécanisme de translocation du virus responsable de la COVID-19 à l’échelle moléculaire ou, pour être plus précis, établir si la glycosylation de la protéine des spicules viraux et le récepteur de l’enzyme de conversion de l’angiotensine 2 (ACE2) humaine modulent la liaison, et son mécanisme, le cas échéant. 2. Déterminer quel rôle la structure de glycanes du mutant Fc D270G atténué (FC1X7) par cytotoxicité à médiation cellulaire dépendante des anticorps (ADCC) joue dans l’interaction entre les récepteurs Fcγ et FcRn. On utilisera le mutant Fc1X7 comme partenaire de fusion avec des protéines thérapeutiques anti-COVID-19 et les données obtenues nous renseigneront sur la manière d’en accroître l’efficacité et l’innocuité.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
