Description

Artificial structures of nucleic acids for gene therapy, whose activity is influenced by inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases The present application relates to a protein, which inhibits the p27 cellular protein and thereby suppresses the inhibition of the proliferation of the cells, which is produced by p27, to mutants of it with a dominant interferential character, to the corresponding ones nucleic acids that encode it, and the use of protein and nucleic acids for prophylaxis and disease therapy. In addition, artificial nucleic acid structures are disclosed for gene therapy of diseases, which contain the aforementioned nucleic acids.
A) Introduction The cell cycle of eukaryotic cells is controlled by cyclin-dependent kinases ("cyclin-dependent kinases" = cdk's); These are "guinases" that require a regulatory subunit ("cyclin") for their activity. Different processes in the cell cycle (such as, for example, replication, entry into mitosis) are controlled by different cdk's (Morgan, Nature 374, 131 (1995)) This regulates the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases at a high level, in this context there are internal control mechanisms, which prevent, for example, entry into mitosis, as long as the DNA has not been Completely replicated Control by external factors, such as for example growth factors, takes place exclusively before the start of DNA replication, replication that is initiated by active complexes of cyclin E and cdk2, together with the amount of cyclin existing in the kinase subunit, the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases is regulated by small inhibitory proteins (Sherr and Roberts, Gene Dev. 9, 1, 149 (1995)). Two inhibitory agents are decisive for the cyclin E and cdk2 complex, which according to their size are designated p21 and p27. In cells, which express large amounts of p27, the cyclin kinase E / cdk2 is normally inactive and entry into DNA replication is blocked. In many human tumors, positive regulators of the cell cycle are overexpressed or at least constitutively expressed (Sherr, Science 274, 1, 672 (1996)) but negative regulators are frequently mutated or weakly expressed (Fero et al., Cell 85., 733 (1996)).
There are specific correlations: for example, overexpression of the cyclin DI gene is found in many cervical tumors. Therefore, there is hope that the cyclin-dependent kinases and their function could be target structures in the search for new substances that are selectively active and act antiproliferative. The gene for the p27 protein has been known for some years (K. Polyak et al., Cell 78_, 59-66 (1994)) and is accessible in the gene bank [murine p27; accession number K 09968; human p27: accession number K 10906]. In spite of the intense search, mutations in the p27 gene in human tumors have not been found until now. This is all the more surprising in that mice, in which the p27 gene has been deactivated, have a phenotype with multiple dysplasias and increased incidence of tumors (Fero et al., Cell 8J5, 733 (1996), Kiyokawa and collaborated). Res, Cell 8J, 721 (1996)). Instead, the function of p27 is manifestly regulated essentially after transcription. Thus, p27 is decomposed by proteolysis; this also happens at the beginning of DNA replication of normal cells. The ability to decompose proteolytically at p27 is clearly increased in many tumors compared to normal tissue and this seems to be directly correlated with an unfavorable prognosis (Loda et al., Na ture Med. 3, 231 (1997)). However, there must still be other mechanisms that can lead to the deactivation of p27. For example, after transformation of cells by the Myc oncogene, p27 is first functionally deactivated (ie, it no longer binds to cyclin and cdk complexes), but is decomposed only much later. Until now, it is inexplicable why in a series of tumors, for example those of the breast, high amounts of p27 proteins are expressed, and these tumors, nevertheless, grow very rapidly. The mechanisms, which deactivate the p27 in these tumors, are unknown until now (Fredersdorf et al., Proc. Nati, Acad. Sci. USA 94, 6. 380 (1997)). There is therefore a great interest of the scientific world in discovering mechanisms or substances that are responsible for the deactivation of p27 in tumors. With the present invention this problem was solved. Pl63 protein, described in the application, can bind to p27, inhibit the function of this p27, and drive p27 to proteolysis in the cytoplasm.
B) General description of the invention 1) Pl63 protein and its nucleic acid sequence The object of the invention is a new protein, called pl63, which binds to p27, thereby inhibiting its function and leading to proteolysis in the cytoplasm. The amino acid sequence of this protein was determined. Pl63 protein binds specifically to p27 and not to other proteins such as Myc, Max, Bcl-6 or protymosin-a.
The object of the invention is also a nucleotide sequence encoding the pl63 protein. This nucleotide sequence was determined for the mouse pl63 protein and, by comparison between sequences, also for the human l63 protein. 2) Dominant Negative Pl63-like Compounds The object of this invention is furthermore nucleotide sequences, which encode partial p63 peptides and / or p63-like proteins which act in a dominant negative manner, that is to say they inhibit the binding of the natural protein p63 to the p27 protein, without essentially impairing the binding of the p27 protein with the fusion of cyclin C and cdk2 nor to the inhibition of this fusion of cyclin C and cdk2 conditioned by it. - The object of the invention is furthermore the use of nucleic acid sequences, which encode dominant negative mutants of the pl63 protein or partial sequences thereof, this use involving the introduction of these nucleic acid sequences into a target cell and the inhibition of the binding between the p163 protein of this target cell and the p27 protein of this target cell, so that the proliferation of the target cell is inhibited by the p27 protein of this target cell, which is released. 3) Peptides, which inhibit the pl63 The object of this invention, however, is also nucleotide sequences, which encode proteins or peptides, which inhibit the function of the p63. These include proteins or peptides, which bind to the binding site of the p63 protein for the p27 protein or to the binding site of the p63 protein for the Ran protein (Loeb et al Mol. Biol. 4, 209-222 (1993 )) and thereby inhibit the internal protein p63 in the cell. These proteins belong to the peptides, which correspond to the binding site of the p27 protein or the Ran protein for the p63 protein. To these proteins also belong antibodies or dissociation products of antibodies, such as F (ab) 2 / Fab, Fv and scFv with specificity against the p66 protein, especially against the binding site of etane for the p27 protein. The object of the invention is furthermore the use of nucleic acid sequences that encode such inhibitory proteins or peptides, this use involving the introduction of these nucleic acid sequences in a target cell and the inhibition of the binding between the own protein pl63 of this target cell and the p27 protein of this target cell or the Ran protein of this target cell, in such a way that the proliferation of the target cell c: r is inhibited by the p27 protein of this target cell, which is released . 4) Use of pl63 for the stimulation of cell division The object of this invention is also the use of the nucleotide sequence that encodes the p63 protein, or that of the p133 protein itself, for the inhibition of the internal p27 protein in the cell and therefore for the stimulation of the cell division of a target cell.
) Inhibition of transcription and translation of pl63 They are objete; ? the _r.v-. However, also nucleic acid sequences, which inhibit the transcription and / or translation of the nucleic acid sequence, specific to the target cell, which encode the pl63 protein, and thereby lead to a release of the p27 protein and consequently to an inhibition of the proliferation of the target cell. Such nucleic acid sequences according to the invention can for example be an antisense (triplex) DNA, an antisense RNA and / or ribozymes. 6) Test systems for the discovery of p63 inhibiting agents The object of the invention is furthermore the use of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the p63 protein, or that of this protein, itself or of partial sequences thereof, for assay systems, in which inhibitors of the binding between the pl63 protein and the p27 protein or the Ran protein are sought, and the use of the inhibitors of the p63 protein, found in these test systems, for the inhibition of the proliferation of a target cell. 7) Detection of the pl63 for the diagnosis of a disease The invention also relates to the use of artificial nucleic acid structures encoding the p63 protein or partial sequences of the pl63 protein, or nucleic acid sequences or protein sequences that are join these nucleic acid sequences for the pl63 protein, or proteins that bind to the pl63 protein for the detection of nucleic acids encoding the pl63 or for the detection of the pl63 protein in a cell or in a tissue or in a body fluid, in order to determine the state of proliferation of a cell or a tissue or to make the diagnosis of a morbid state (of illness). 8) Expression systems containing binding sequences for p27 or for complexes of proteins p63 and p27 It is furthermore an object of the invention to provide an expression system which contains a nucleic acid sequence whose expression is controlled by the p27 protein and which The simplest case contains the following components: Component a) at least one activation sequence (promoter n ° 1) Component b) - at least one gene for a transcription factor consisting of a fusion protein containing component b-) at least one activation domain of a transcription factor component b2) 1) at least one sequence or at least a partial sequence of the p63 protein, to which the p27 protein binds, or ) at least one antibody or at least one antibody fragment such as Fab, Fv or scFv, which binds to the binding site of the p27 protein for the p63 protein, or 3) at least one antibody or at least one fragment of antibody such as Fab, Fv or scFv, which binds to the binding site of the p63 protein for p27 protein, or 4) at least one antibody or at least one antibody fragment such as Fab, Fv or scFv, which binds to the complex of pl63 and p27. Component b3) at least one DNA binding domain of a transcription factor Component c) - - at least one activation sequence (promoter No. II), which is activated by binding of the transcription factor, encoded by component b) Component d) - at least one effector gene.
The arrangement of the individual components is reproduced by way of example in FIG. 1. It is a premise for the functional capacity of the expression system according to the invention, that the component b2l), b22) or b23) to be brought together, between or to the components b -j_) and bj), in such a way that the binding of the p27 protein or the p63 protein to the expression product of component b2) inhibits the functional capacity of the activation domain [component b ^)] and / or the domain of DNA binding [component 3)]. This inhibition leads to an inhibition of the expression of the effector gene in cells, in which free p27 or free p63 is present. In cells, in which the p27 protein and / or the pl63 protein have been converted into complexes (complex ado), so that they can no longer interact with the component b2), or yet no longer are present (or are present only), this inhibition is lacking, in such a way that the transcription factor [component b)] can activate without obstacles the activation sequence [component c)] and with this I can start the transcription of the effector gene. A special feature is component b24). By joining fusions of pl63 and p27 with component b24; in cells that are dividing the transcription factor is inhibited ~ [component b)], and conversely in cells that are at rest (ie in the case of free p27) the transcription factor is free [component b) ] and is fully capable of functioning. The transcription of the effector gene is initiated by activation of the activation sequence [component a)], which results in an expression of the gene for the transcription factor [component b)]. The transcription factor [component b)], in turn, binds to the activation sequence [component c)], which induces an expression of the effector gene [component d)]. In a special embodiment of this invention, component a) is equal to component c). In this special embodiment, a small activation of the activation sequence [promoter I, component a)] leads to an expression of the transcription factor [component b)], which activates both the activation sequence [promoter I, component a)] as well as the activation sequence [promoter II, component c)] and thereby both induce the expression of jen for the effector gene [component d)] and also reinforce the expression of the transcription factor [component b] ? ], which in turn reinforces the expression of the effector gene [component d)]. This expression system can be extended by the juxtaposition of several identical or different sequences for effector genes [components d), d '), d ", which are linked in each case by the same or different IRES sequences or by sequences of activation [components c ') and c ")], - by the juxtaposition of several identical or different genes for transcription factors [component b)], which in each case are linked to each other by IRES sequences or activation sequences [component a ) or component c)], same or different. In the case of a juxtaposition of genes for different transcription factors, the activation sequences must be chosen in such a way that they contain nucleotide sequences, to which the transcription factor can be linked [component b)]. By means of the artificial nucleic acid structures according to the invention, an effector gene [component d)] can be expressed depending on the choice of the activation sequence [components a) or c)] in a nonspecific manner, specific for cells or specific for viruses, or in certain metabolic conditions or also specifically for a cell cycle. In the case of the effector gene, it is a gene, which in turn encodes a substance with pharmacological activity or yet encodes an enzyme, which unfolds an inactive compound precursor of a drug to give an active drug. For example, the effector gene can be selected such that this active substance or this enzyme is expressed as a fusion protein with a ligand, and a this ligand with the surface of cells, for example endothelial or tumor cells, or leukocytes . The artificial structures of nucleic acids according to the invention, which have been described, preferably consist of DNA. The term "artificial nucleic acid structures" refers to artificial structures based on nucleic acids, which can be transcribed in the target cells. These are preferably introduced into a vector, with plasmid vectors or viral vectors being especially preferred. The artificial nucleic acid structure, optionally introduced into a vector, is administered to a patient for the prophylaxis or therapy of a disease. The administration can be carried out orally, locally or by injection or infusion. The subject of the present invention are also mammalian cells, which contain an artificial nucleic acid structure according to the invention. In a particularly preferred embodiment, artificial nucleic acid structures are introduced into cell lines, which after transfection can be used as supports for the expression system according to the invention for the expression of the effector gene. Such cells can be used to make a medicine available to patients. Alternatively, the cells or cell lines, such as p. ex. Tumor, immunological or endothelial cells, in which the artificial structures of nucleic acids according to the invention have been incorporated, can be administered locally or can be injected parenterally, for example intravenously, intraarterially in a body cavity, in an organ, or can be injected subcutaneously, to patients.
A preferred use of the artificial nucleic acid structure according to the invention therefore consists in the prophylaxis or treatment of a disease, the invention comprising the introduction in vi tro of an artificial nucleic acid structure in a target cell, the mespecific expression, specific for viruses or target cells, metabolically specific and / or specific for cell cycles, of the drug in the target cell, and local or parenteral administration of the target cell to patients, or local or parenteral administration of the artificial nucleic acid structure to the patients, for the in vivo introduction of an artificial nucleic acid structure in the target cell. The artificial structures of nucleic acids according to the invention do not occur in nature in this form, ie the effector gene for the active substance, either for an enzyme or for a fusion protein of a ligand and an active substance or a ligand and an enzyme are not combined in a natural way with nucleic acid sequences, such as those contained in the artificial nucleic acid structure according to the invention. Preferred effector genes [component d)], which are incorporated in an expression system according to the invention, encode a substance with pharmacological activity. These are proteins and glycoproteins, selected from the group that contains cytokines, growth factors, receptors for cytokines or growth factors, antibodies or fragments of antibodies, proteins that act antiproliferately or cytostatically, proteins that act apoptotically or antiapoptically, tumor antigens, angiogenesis-inhibiting agents, thrombosis-inducing proteins, coagulation-inhibiting agents, proteins with fibrinolytic activity, blood plasma proteins, complement-activating proteins, envelopes-of viruses and bacteria, hormones, peptides active on circulation, neuropeptides, enzymes, mediators, regulatory proteins and unmodified ribozymes, which occur in nature, or nucleotide (antisense) sequences that act by inhibiting the expression of genes. Preferably, in the case of ranssén, it is an effector gene that encodes a ribozyme, which inactivates the mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid), which encodes a protein selected from the group that contains proteins that control the cell cycle, especially cyclin A, cyclin B, cyclin DI, cyclin E, E2F1-5, cdc2, cdc25C, pl63 or DPI, or virus proteins or cytokines, or growth factors or their receptors. In another embodiment, the effector gene can encode a fusion protein of a ligand and an active substance, the ligand being able to be an antibody, an antibody fragment, a cytokine, a growth factor, an adhesion molecule or a peptide hormone, and the active substance being able to be a substance with pharmacological activity, as described above, or an enzyme. For example, the effector gene can encode a fusion protein of a ligand and an enzyme, by unfolding the enzyme to a precursor compound of a drug to form the drug and binding the ligand to a cell surface, preferably to that of endothelial cells or tumor cells.
C) More detailed description of the invention 1) Characterization of the pl63 protein and the nucleic acid sequence encoding the pl63 protein With the help of "two-hybrid technology" [= two-hybrid-Technologie] (Fields and Song, Nature 340, 245 (1989)) Pl63 protein was revealed as a new p27 participant protein. For this, the whole coding sequence of the murine p27 protein was cloned with the help of a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) in the yeast vector pGBTIO (Clontech) within the frame with the DNA binding domain of the transcription factor. GAL4. The yeast strain Hf7c (entity Clontech Heidelberg, Matchmaker two Hybrid, K 1605-1) was transformed with this vector, auxotrophic colonies for tryptophan were isolated, and the expression of the correct fusion proteins was detected in the Western blot with the help of specific antibodies against GAL4 and p27. This strain was transformed, in a second transformation, with a cDNA library labeled with VP16, derived from mouse embryos (Voj tek et al., Cell 7_4, 205 (1993)). We further analyzed 400 colonies, which were auxotrophic for histidine, in the presence of 15 nM aminotriazole. Seventy of these clones were sequenced; they all encoded different type D cyclins; these are known participants in p27 interactions. With the aid of Southern blots it was revealed that 390 of the 400 resistant clones encoded cyclin D. Two of the remaining clones ("number 163") encoded the same protein; these were completely sequenced. From a ΔZAP cDNA library, produced from Balb / c-3T3 cells, several clones were identified, which were homologs with pl63. The analysis of the sequences shows an open reading frame; it is also used in the chimera with VP16 from the cDNA library. Both original clones encode amino acids 121 to 252 of this reading frame. Pl63 clones were characterized in greater detail with ß-galactosidase as a reporter gene in yeast. As depicted in Table 1, the encoded protein interacts in yeast specifically with p27, but not with other proteins, such as Myc, Max, Bel-6 or protymosin. Table 1 also shows a first delimitation of the domains of p27, in which the interaction with pl63 takes place. These data point to the fact that pl63 binds to the same domains of p27 as cyclin-dependent kinases (Russo et al., 382, 325 (1996)). This is an indication that p63 and cyclin-dependent kinases compete for their binding to -p27. On the other hand, the domain of pl63, which interacts with p27, could be delimited to amino acids 121 to 252.
For confirmation of these results from this yeast assay system, a recombinantly expressed p163 [expressed as glutathione transferase fusion protein (GST)] was fixed to a column and then purified by affinity chromatography in this column. column to the p27 protein labeled with 35S. By using the pl63 fusion protein with a glutathione transferase (GST) it was possible to use a uniform matrix for these experiments (so-called "GST-pulldowns", Hateboer et al., Proc. Nati Acad. Sci. US 90, 8. 489 (1993)). For these investigations, the reading frame was transferred from the clone in yeast to a pGEX vector (Pharmacia, Freiburg pGEX-2T, order no 27-4801-01), which encodes a chimeric glutathione protein in E. coli S-transferase (GST) under the control of the TAC promoter inducible by IPTG (Smi th and Johnson, Gene 67: 31, 1988). The chimeric proteins were purified from cultures in induced E. coli, by affinity chromatography on glutathione-agarose (Smi th and Johnson, 1988) and then dialysed against 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, KCl 100 mM, 20 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol and 0.1 mM PMSF. As a control, glutathione S-transferase was purified and dialyzed according to the same protocol; the purified proteins were stored at -80 ° C. In each case 10 μg of both proteins were then incubated for two hours at 4 ° C with 10 μg of BSA [= bovine serum albumin] and 20 mg of swollen GST-agarose; after that the agarose was separated by centrifugation and washed twice with a dialysis buffer. As a control for the binding of the proteins, an aliquot of the agarose was boiled directly in a sample buffer and the bound proteins were detected according to an SDS-gel electrophoresis. A p27 labeled with 35S-methionine was prepared by in vitro translation (according to the manufacturer's data: Promega, Mannheim, TNT coupled rete.lysystems: L 4610) and incubated with charged agarose for two hours in one volume total of 200 1 in a dialysis buffer with 0.1% NP40 at 4 ° C. The agarose was washed four times with a mixture of a dialysis buffer and 0.1% NP-40 and then boiled in SDS-sample buffer. The bound proteins were detected by SDS-gel electrophoresis and fluorography. The results of these experiments are shown in Table 2. These show that a recombinant p27, marked with S, synthesized in vi tro, is selectively fixed to a column, which is loaded with a chimeric fusion of GST and pl63, but not to a column that is loaded with the same amount of GST. Table 2 also demonstrates that a p27 from a cell extract binds inefficiently to a fusion of GST and p63; in this extract, p27 is linked to cyclin-dependent kinase complexes. A short heat treatment releases the p27 from these complexes and then allows the union to the pl63. This shows that p63 and cyclin-dependent kinases compete for binding to p27. The nucleotide sequence according to the invention, which encodes the murine pl63 protein, is represented in Table 3. This sequence has a homologue in the data bank; it is the nucleoprotein gene (Nup) 2 of the yeast. Nup2 is a protein of the core membrane, which participates in the formation of the core protein and in the transport of proteins in and out of the nucleus. Nup2 participates well in yeast, especially in export. Several functional domains are conserved, even though, overall, the homology is not high (Table 4). Thus, the binding site for a regulatory protein (Ran, which is a protein that binds to GTP), which regulates transport in the nucleus, is conserved between the Ran binding protein (RBP-1) [Ran binding protein ], Xup2 and pl63 (Table 5), as well as short sequences of pentapeptides, to which a structural function is attributed (Table 6). ZZ T. In order to verify and demonstrate that the pl63 consists without a doubt in a nucleoporin, a poly- antial antiserum was generated against the protein [histidine-pl63 (aa [= amino acids] 121-252)] and was purified by affinity; this antiserum undoubtedly recognizes a nucleoporin, which is recognizable- in the immunofluorescence by the typical coloration of the pores in the nucleus (there are "specks" on the surface, and the periphery of the nucleus is colored). To verify an intracellular association between il 2 D Nup2 and p27, both proteins were expressed transiently in HeLa cells with CMV expression vectors, 48 hours later the cells were lysed and investigated for a possible interaction of both proteins by immunoprecipitation and / or Western blots (Peukert et al., EMBO, J, 1, 5. 672 (1997)). The association between p27 and Nup2 was checked with both polyclonal antibodies against Nup2 and against murine p27. The p27 protein was well precipitated only in the case in which p63 was expressed (see Table 7). This is a proof that Nup2 and p27 can be associated with each other within HeLa cells. By comparing sequences and searching for data with human ESTs, the nucleic acid sequence for the human pl63 protein was identified. For the domain binding to Ran, it is in the sequence AA161285 at positions 173 = 575, for the binding domain to p27 in the sequence R62312 at positions 318 ¿486, and for the other partial segments of p63 in the sequence THC199124 at positions 348 > 489. In order to define more precisely which amino acids of p27 the interaction between Nu 2 and pl63 takes place, mutants that no longer interact with p63 were searched for in yeasts. For this, the cDNA, which encoded p27, was subjected to a defect-inducing PCR reaction (PCR conditions according to "PCR-technology, Principies and Applications for DNA amplification ", RA, Eriich, Stockton press, NY, 1989) and the resulting clones, which contain random defects, were tested for an interaction with Nup2 and, as a control, with cyclin DI. PCR (deviating from the standard) were: 40 cycles in the presence of 1 U of GIBCO Taq polymerase and 0.1 mM MnCl2 The obtained cDNA fragment was transformed together into the yeast strain HF7c-pl63 / Nup2 with a pGBTIO vector, which had been linearized with BamHl and EcoRI and purified.The transformed colonies were selected by selection from a missing medium -Leu-Trp .960 individual clones were isolated and plated on medium Selective (-Leu-His-Trp) With the clones, which did not grow on this selective medium, was carried out -an assay with β-galactosidase as the second interaction assay.The negative clones were identified and from them was isolated the plasmid pGBT10-p27. The plasmids obtained were first transformed with an expression plasmid in yeast, which expresses the fusion of pl63 and Nup2 as a chimera with a transactivating domain, and secondly as a control with a plasmid expressing cyclin DI as a chimera with a transactivator domain. Three clones were obtained, which no longer interact selectively with Nup ~ 2, but with cyclin DI. These plasmids were sequenced together with some controls. A selection of the phenotype obtained is compiled in Table 13. In these experiments an interaction is revealed as growth in the absence of histidine (-Trp-Leu-His, "selective"), while the control (-Trp-Leu, - "non-selective") shows that both proteins had been expressed in yeast. Out of 1,000 clones, 3 were found, which no longer interact specifically with the fusion of p63 and Nup2 but perfectly with cyclin DI. The sequences are shown in Table 14. The three clones, but not a series of control clones, carry the same mutation in the amino acid arginine 90 (rautadc to glycine). The sequences also show that the hundreds have been formed independently, since they are carriers of other diverse mutations. Accordingly, arginine 90 is unequivocally defined as a central amino acid in the interaction of p27 with Nup2. The mutants are available for a validation of the biological relevance of this interaction. 2) Nucleotide sequences for compounds analogous to the p63 protein that act in a dominant negative manner. By means of the functional analyzes described above, two domains of the p63 protein have been known, which are decisive for their function. On the one hand, it is the domain (amino acids 121-252) for binding to p27. On the other hand, it is the domain (amino acids 307-467) for binding to Ran, which is a protein that binds to GTP, which regulates transport functions. Therefore, nucleic acid sequences for the pl63 protein or for parts of this protein are subject of the invention, these nucleic acid sequences having mutations in the p27 binding domain and / or in the Ran binding domain, therefore, the binding of the expressed mutated protein to either p27 or Ran is drastically decreased. Introduced into a cell, such p663-like compounds inhibit the cell's own p63, capable of functioning. With this, free p27 is formed, which leads to the inhibition of cell division. Examples of such dominant p63-negative mutants are shown in Tables 8 and 9. Table 8 shows p63 with a deletion of the p27 binding domain and Table 9 shows pl63 without the poma binding domain. It is therefore the object of the invention to introduce artificial nucleic acid structures encoding dominant p63-negative analogs in a cell, with the goal of inhibiting the proliferation of this cell. This introduction into the cell can be carried out in vi tro but also in vivo. For the best possible and / or controlled expression of the artificial nucleic acid structure according to the invention, this is preferably linked to an activation sequence. Examples of such activation sequences are discussed in paragraph 8.3. For localization in the nucleus, a nuclear localization signal (NLS = Nukleáres LokalisationSignal) must be attached to the nucleic acid sequence, which codes for the pl63. Such NLS are known to one skilled in the art. The artificial nucleic acid structure is incorporated into the cell as "naked" DNA either with the aid of a non-viral vector, or with the help of and introduced into a viral vector, according to procedures known to a person skilled in the art. . 3) Nucleotide sequences for proteins or peptides, which bind to the binding domain of the p63 With the above-mentioned investigations, the p27-binding domain domain of the p63 protein could be established and fixed at amino acids 307-467 amino acids 121-252 and the domain binding to the Ran. Therefore, artificial nucleic acid structures encoding peptides, which either bind to the binding domain of pl63 for p27, and thus inhibit the binding of pl63 to p27, or bind to the p27, are therefore subject of the invention. union domain of the pl63 to the Ran and thereby inhibit the union of the pl63 to the Ran. By means of this inhibition, free p27 is formed, which inhibits cell proliferation by binding, for example, to the fusion of cyclin E and cdk2. An example of a peptide that inhibits it in such a way is constituted by amino acid sequences, which correspond to the p63 binding domain of the p27 protein (amino acids 69-178) or of the Ran. Another example is antibodies or fragments of human antibodies, such as F (ab) 2, Fab, Fv or scFv, which bind to p63, in particular to the p27 binding domain or to the binding site to the Ran of ia. pl63 Such antibodies can be obtained, for example, by immunization of animals with p63, or with the domain of an α to p27 or with the domain binding to Ran, of p63. These domains are represented in Table 5 (Ran domain) or in Table 10 (domain binding to 2 ~. Therefore, the introduction of artificial nucleic acid structures encoding proteins that bind to the p63, within a cell, with the goal of inhibiting the proliferation of this cell.This introduction into the cell can be carried out in vi tro but also in vi. For the best possible expression and / or of the artificial nucleic acid structure according to the invention, this is preferably linked to an activation sequence Examples of such activation sequences are set forth in paragraph 8.3 For location in the nucleus, it is to be attached to the sequence of nucleic acid, which encodes the artificial nucleic acid structure according to the invention, a nuclear localization signal (NLS) Such NLS are known to a person skilled in the art. The nucleic acid is introduced into the cell as "naked" DNA, or with the help of a non-viral vector, or with the aid of, and introduced into, a viral vector, according to methods known to a person skilled in the art. 4) Nucleotide sequences for pl63 in order to stimulate cell division - The introduction into a cell of the nucleotide sequence for pl63 or the pl63 protein leads to the inhibition of intracellular p27. This releases cyclin E and cdk2 complexes (which are inhibited by p27), which initiate cell division. The object of the invention is therefore the introduction of artificial structures of nucleic acids encoding pl63 in a cell, with the goal of promoting the proliferation of this cell. This introduction into the cell can be carried out in vi tro but also in vivo. For the best possible and / or controlled expression of the artificial nucleic acid structure according to the invention, it is preferably linked to an activation sequence. Examples of such activation sequences are indicated in paragraph 8.3. For localization in the nucleus, a nuclear localization signal (NLS) must be attached to the nucleic acid sequence encoding the pl63. Such NLS are known to one skilled in the art. The artificial nucleic acid structure is incorporated into the cell as "naked" DNA either with the aid of a non-viral vector, or with the help of and introduced into a viral vector according to methods known to a person skilled in the art. . By introduction of an artificial nucleic acid structure encoding the pl63, proliferation may be incited for example cells in the cell culture or cells in vivo, e.g. ex. in the case of defective cell proliferation.
) Nucleotide sequences for the inhibition of transcription and / or translation of the pl63 protein Knowledge of the nucleic acid sequence of the p63 protein offers the possibility of producing oligonucleotides with the help of which transcription or translation can be specifically inhibited from pl63. To these antisense nucleic acids belong oligonucleotides, DNA (triplex) antisense, ribozymes or antisense RNA. The method for the preparation of triplex DNA oligonucleotides has been described in detail by Frank-Kamenetskii and Mirkin, in Ann. Rev. Biochem. 64, 65 (1995) and the method of the preparation of anti-sense RNA molecules has been described by Neckers et al., In Critic Rev. Oncogen, 3, 175 (1992), Cárter and Lemoine, In br. ". Cancer 67, 869 (1993), Mukhdopadhyay and Roth, Crit. Rev. Oncogen. 7, 151 (1996) and Mercóla y Cohén, Cancer Gene Ther. 2, 47 (1995). Preferably, triplex DNA or antisense RNA oligonucleotides, which hybridize with pl63 nucleotide sequences, which encode partial areas of the binding domain (total zone, amino acids 121-252; p27 protein or partial areas of the binding domain (total area amino acids 307-467) for the Ran protein.To the nucleotide sequences that inhibit the transcription and / or translation of pl63, ribozymes also belong specifically to regions of the sequence of nucleotides of the p63 protein The method for the preparation of ribozymes was described in detail by Burke, in Nucí Acids, Biol. 105 (1994), Christoffersen and Marr, in J. Med. Chem. , 38, 2. 023 (1995) and Scott et al., In Science 274, 2. 065 (nineteen ninety six) . Preferred in the sense of the invention are ribozymes, "which hybridize with pl63 nucleotide sequences, which are located in the region of the nucleotide sequence for the binding domain (amino acids 121-252) for the p27 protein, or for the binding domain (amino acids 307-467) for the Ran protein Examples of nucleotide sequences of the pl63 protein, cleavable by ribozymes, are set forth in Table 11.
The triplex DNAs, antisense RNAs or ribozymes, such as oligonucleotides [prepared and protected against degradation by DNases or RNases according to methods known to a person skilled in the art (see above-mentioned biDiography)] or are added in vi tro to the cells target or - are administered in vivo by injection or local application. The object of the invention is, however, also the introduction of artificial structures of nucleic acids into a cell, with the goal that antisense RNA or ribozymes corresponding to the oligonucleotides according to the invention are formed in the cell by transcription, in order to inhibit the proliferation of this cell. The introduction into the cell can be carried out in vi tro but also in vivo. For the best possible and / or controlled expression of the artificial nucleic acid structure according to the invention, it is preferably linked to an activation sequence. Examples of such activation sequences are set forth: paragraph 8.3. The artificial nucleic acid structure is incorporated into the cell as "naked" DNA or with the aid of a non-viral vector, or with the help of, and introduced into, a vector in this vector, according to the known methods of the invention. an expert in the field. 6) Test systems for the discovery of inhibitors of the function of pl63 The discovery of the pl63 protein and its interaction with the protein p27 makes it possible to search for inhibitors of this interaction. , in which the binding between protein 27 and protein pl63 is inhibited and this inhibition is indicated by an indicator Many methods are known An example of one of these methods is the "two-hybrid screening assay" [= " Two Hybrid Screen A'ssay "] (see paragraph Cl and Table 1 for this)., however, an affinity system can also be used for the screening, in which the pl63 [preferably the p27 binding domain (amino acids (121-252)] is bound to a solid phase, is incubated with The substance under test is determined, and the binding of the substance under test is determined by inhibiting the binding of a labeled partner at the junction to the p27 protein domain that binds to p27. be the p27 or an antibody that binds specifically to the domain of the pl63 protein that binds to p27.Also that for the inhibitors of the junction between the pl63 and the p27 can also be constituted test systems for inhibitory agents of the link between p63 and Ran, and can be used for counting.It is the object of the invention therefore the use of nucleic acid sequences, which encode pl63 or partial p63 proteins, or the use of prot eine pl63 or partial proteins of this one, for the search as for inhibitors of p63. 7) Use of the nucleic acid sequence for pl63, or of the pl63 protein sequence, to diagnose the stage of proliferation of a cell or a morbid state As depicted in the introduction, paragraph A), a Tumor series are distinguished by an intracellular concentration, increased by p27. Because of the fact that these tumors proliferate, it is to be assumed that the function of this increased p27 is inhibited. Correspondingly to this invention, pl63 is the p27 specific inhibitory agent. The detection of this inhibitory agent in a cell makes it possible to make a statement about the state of proliferation of the cell. This statement can be very important p. ex. for the evaluation of the malignancy of a tumor cell or a tumor tissue. The p60 protein is released by cell death. The detection of pl63 in a body fluid therefore makes it possible to make a statement about proliferative processes and / or that are accompanied by cell death, for example inflammatory processes, in a body. The detection of the pl63 protein can be carried out by specific binding to labeled substances. To these substances that bind -specifically belong the protein p27, the Ran protein and antibodies, generated for example by immunization of animals with the protein pl63 or with partial sequences of this protein. However, detection of the pl63 mRNA in a cell or in a tissue can also be effected by hybridization of the nucleic acid sequence, which encodes the p63 protein, with the corresponding mRNA. An elevation of the sensitivity of this detection is possible through the technology of "polymerase chain reaction" [= Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)], in which a few copies of a nucleic acid sequence that has been detected can be multiplied with the help of so-called pairs of primers. Examples of primer pairs for multiplication and for the detection of the nucleic acid sequence encoding pl63 are shown in Tables 12a, b and c. The detection of the RNA encoding the pl63 is however also possible, for example, with the fluorescence of hybridization in si tu published by Gussoni et al., In Nature Biotechnol. 14, 1. 012 (1996). Accordingly, the object of the invention is the detection of a nucleic acid sequence encoding pl63, or of the pl63 protein, for the determination of the proliferation state of a cell or of a tissue, or for the detection of proliferative modifications or they are accompanied by cell death in a living mammal. 8) Particularities of expression systems, which are controlled by pl63, p27 or the pl63 and p27 complex 8. 1. Component b) 8. 1.1. Binding sequence for pl63, p27 or protein complex p63 and p27 [component 2)] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the expression system contains with its component b2) at least : r.a nucleic acid sequence for the pl63 protein or for part of the p63 protein, which binds to the p27 protein. In another preferred embodiment, the expression system contains with its component b2) at least one sequence of "nucleic acid for an antibody or for a part of an antibody with the binding sequences (VH and VL) for the binding site of the p27 protein for the pl63 protein, or - - for the binding site of the p63 protein for the p27.? n these embodiments, eg the free p27 protein or the protein free p63, present in the cell, binds to the expression product of component b2) and thereby inhibits the transcription factor encoded by component b) and thereby blocks the expression system, however, if for example in a cell the p27 protein is complexed with the pl63 protein, the expression product of the component b2) remains free and consequently the transcription factor (component b)] and the expression system is able to function.These expression systems according to the invention are by c next they are able to function in cells that are dividing (there are presence of complexes of p63 and p27) and are inhibited in resting cells (there is p27 free). In another special form of realization, the expression system contains with its component b2) contains at least one nucleic acid sequence for an antibody or a part of an antibody with the binding sequences (VH and VL) for the p27 and pl63 complex. In this embodiment, the p27 and pl63 complexes bind to the expression product of component b2) and thereby block the expression system, while the free p27 or pl63 does not bind to the expression product of component b). This expression system according to the invention is therefore blocked in cells that are dividing (there is presence of complexes of p63 and p27) and is capable of functioning in resting cells (there is free p27). In the case of the choice of an antibody for a component b2), the portions of the FVLFVH antibody (which bind to epitopes, in the case of a murine origin in a humanized form) are preferably used. Winter and collaborators (Nature 349, 203 (1991)) and by Hoogembooms et al. (Rev. Tr.
Transfus. Hemobiol. 36, 19 (1993)). Antibody fragments are produced correspondingly to the state of the art, for example in the manner described by Winter et al., In Na ture 349, 293 (1991), Hoogenbooms et al., In Rev. Tr. Transfus. Hemobiol. 36_, 19 (1993), Girol. Mol. Immunol. 28., 1-37 (1991) or by Huston et al., Jnt. Rev. Immunol 10_, 195 (1993). A detailed description of the production of antibodies, antibody fragments and recombinant antibody fragments was carried out in the German patent application DE 9649645.4. Fragments of recombinant antibodies are produced directly from existing hybridomas or are isolated with the help of "phage display" technology from libraries of murine or human antibody fragments (Winter et al.
Annu. Rev. Immunol. 12, 433 (1994)). These antibody fragments are then used in the genetic plane directly for coupling with the components b-j_) and b3). For the production of re-combining antibody fragments from hybridomas, the genetic information encoding the antigen-binding domains (JJ, V of the antibodies, by isolation of the mRNA, the reverse transcription of the RNA into cDNA and the subsequent amplification by polymerase chain reaction and the oligonucleotides complete with the 5 'or 3' ends of the variable fragments. The DNA fragments thus obtained, which encode the V ^ and L fragments, are then cloned into bacterial expression vectors and can thus be expressed as p. ex. Fv fragments, single chain Fv fragments (= scFv) or Fab fragments. New antibody fragments can be isolated by means of "phage display" technology also directly from antibody libraries (immunoblots, inexperienced libraries) of murine or human origin. In the "phage display" of antibody fragments, the antigen binding domains are cloned as fusion proteins with the sjP envelope protein gene of filamentous bacteriophages either in the genome of fagcs and in phagemid vectors in gene form of scFv fragments or as Fab fragment genes. The phages that bind to antigens are selected in plastic containers filled with antigens (panning), in paramagnetic "globules", conjugated with antigens, or by binding to cell surfaces. Immunological libraries are produced by PCR amplification of the genes of the variable fragments of antibodies from B lymphocytes of animals or immunized patients. For this, combinations of oligonucleotides are used, which are specific for murine or human immunoglobulins or for the families of human immunoglobulin genes. With the use of non-immunized donors as a source of immunoglobulin genes, "inexperienced" libraries can be produced [naives]. Alternatively, germline genes can be used for the production of semisynthetic antibody repertoires, complementarity determining region 3, of the variable fragments being complemented by PCR with the aid of degenerate primers. These so-called "single pot" libraries have an advantage over immunological libraries that fragments of antibodies against a large number of antigens can be isolated from a single library.
The affinity of the antibody fragments can be further increased by the "visualization of: a ~ cs" technology, producing new libraries of existing antibody fragments by random mutations, codon-based or deliberate, by "chain shuffling" "[chain shuffling] of individual domains with fragments from" inexperienced "repertoires or using bacterial mimic strains, and isolating by refurbished selection under strict conditions fragments of antibodies that exhibit improved properties. Additionally, fragments of Murinc's murine antibodies can be humanized by gradual exchange of one of the variable domains by a human repertoire and subsequent selection with the original antigen ("guided selection"). Alternatively, the humanization of murine antibodies is effected by target-directed exchange of the hypervariable regions of human antibodies by the corresponding regions of the original murine antibody. 8. 1.2.

(tet-R) (Gossen et al., PNAS USA 89; 5. 547 (1992); Din ermann et al., EMBO J. 11: 1. 487 (1992)) or of the ZFHD1 protein (Pomerantz et al.

The activation sequence I [component a)]. In the sense of the invention, the nucleotide sequences which, after the binding of transcription factors, activate the transcription of a gene located contiguously to the 3 'end have to be used as activation sequences. The choice of the activation sequence is adjusted to the disease to be treated and to the target cell to be transduced. Thus, the activation sequence [component a)] can be unlimitedly activated, specifically for target cells, in certain metabolic conditions, specifically for a cell cycle or specifically for a virus. A detailed description of these promoter sequences was already carried out in the European patent applications EP95930524.4, EP95931933.6, EP-9? 931204.2, EP95931205.9, EP97101507.8, EP97102547.3, and German DE196.39103.2 and DE196 .51443.6.

Chimeric Promoters A chimeric promoter constitutes the combination of an upstream activator sequence, cell-specific activable, metabolically or specifically for viruses, with a downstream promoter module, containing the nucleotide sequence CDE-CHR or E2FBS-CHR, to which suppressor proteins bind, which can thereby inhibit activation of the upstream activator sequence in the GQ and G-j_ phases of the cell cycle (PCT / GB9417366.3; Lucibello et al. , EMBO J. 14, 12 (1994)). 8. 3.7.

HLH proteins as well as GATA-4 manifest a muscle-specific transcription not only with gene-specific gene promoters, but also in the heterologous context, as well, also with artificial promoters. Such artificial promoters are for example multiple copies of the binding site (to DNA) for muscle-specific HLH proteins, such as box E (MyoD) (eg 4x AGCAGGTGTTGGGAGGC, SEQ ID NO: 7) or multiple copies of the DNA binding site for GATA-4 of the a-myosin heavy chain gene (s-Myosin-Heavy -Chain (eg: 5 '-GGCCGATGGGCAGATAGAGGGGGCCGATGGGCAGATAGAGG-3', SEQ ID NO .: 8) 8. 3.7.4.

As a result, the technology of DNA vaccines was developed. These DNA vaccines, however, raise questions about the intensity of the effect (Fynan et al., Int. J. Immunopharm. 17, 79 (1995); Donnelly et al., Immunol. 2, (1994)). According to this invention, it is necessary to have a higher activity of DNA vaccines. As an active substance, the DNA of a protein formed by the pathogenic agent of infection must be chosen, which, by provocation of an immunological reaction, that is to say by formation of antibodies and / or by cytotoxic T lymphocytes, leads to neutralization and / or annihilation of the pathogenic agent. Such so-called neutralization antigens are already applied as antigens for vaccines (see compilation in the article by Eliis, Adv. Exp. Med. Biol. 327, 263 (1992)).
Preferred in the sense of the invention are DNA encoding neutralization antigens of the following pathogens: - influenza A virus - HIV [= human immunodeficiency virus] - rabies virus - HSV (herpes simplex virus = Herpes Simplex) Virus) - RSV (respiratory syncytial virus - = Respiratory Syncytial Virus) - parainfluenza virus - rotavirus - VZV (varicella zoster virus = Varicella Zoster Virus) - CMV (cytomegalovirus CytoMegalo -Virus) - measles virus - HPV (human papillomavirus = Human Papilloma Viruses) - HBV (hepatitis B virus) - HCV (hepatitis C virus) - HDV (hepatitis D virus) - HEV (hepatitis E virus) - HAV (hepatitis A virus) - antigen Vibrio Cholera - Borrelia Burgdorferi - Heli cobacter pylori - malaria antigen - However, the DNA of an antiidiotypic antibody or its fragments that bind to antigens, whose antigen-binding structures ( the "complementarity determining regions" complement i and determining regions) constitute copies of the protein or carbohydrate structure of the pathogen neutralizing antigen of infection - such anti-idiotypic antibodies may especially replace the carbohydrate antigens in pathogens of bacterial infections. Such antiidiotypic antibodies and their cleavage products were described compiled by Hawkins et al. (J. Immunother., 14., 273 (1993)) and by Westerink and Apicella (Springer Seminars in Immunopathol 15, 227 (1993)). 6. 4. Effector genes for "tumor vaccines" - To these belong antigens located in tumor cells. Such antigens were represented compiled, for example, by Sedlacek et al., In Contrib. to Oncol. 32., Karger Verlag, München (1988) and Contrib. to Oncol 43_, Karger Verlag, München, 1992). Other examples are the genes for the following protein antigens or for the variable region (VL, VH) of anti-idiotypic antibodies corresponding to the following non-protein antigens: - gangliosides - sialyl-Lewis - peptides in tumors that are recognized by T-proteins expressed by oncogenes - antigens of blood groups and their precursors - antigens in tumor-associated mucin - antigens in heat shock proteins .4.7. The therapy of chronic infectious diseases .1. Target cell: - liver cell - lymphocyte and / or macrophage - epithelial cell - endothelial cell 7. 2. Promoters - specific for viruses or specific for cells and specific for cell cycles 7. 3. Effector genes, for example for - a protein, which has cytostatic, apoptotic or cytotoxic effects. an enzyme, which unfolds a precursor compound of an antiviral or cytotoxic substance to form the active substance. 7. 4. Effector genes for antiviral proteins cytokines and antivirally active growth factors. These include, for example, IFNa, IFNβ, IFNα, TNFβ, TNFα, IL-1 or TGFβ-antibodies with a specificity that deactivates the respective virus or its fragments containing VJJ and VL or its bound VH and V ^ fragments. through a linker, prepared as already described. Antibodies against virus antigens are for example anti HBV anti HCV anti-HSV anti-HPV anti-HIV anti-EBV anti-HTLV anti-Coxsackie virus anti-Hantaan virus - a protein that binds to Rev. These proteins bind to Rev RNA and inhibit retroviral genes expression in later stages of transcription, dependent on Rev. Examples of proteins that bind to Rev are: RBP9-27 RBP1-8U RBP1-8D pseudogenes of RBP1-8 - ribozymes that digest gene mRNAs for proteins for cell cycle control or virus mRNAs. Catalytic ribozymes for HIV were described compiled, for example, by Christoffersen et al., J. Med. Chem. 38. 2033 (1995) 7. 5. Effector genes for antibacterial proteins Antibacterial proteins belong, for example, to antibodies, which neutralize bacterial toxins or opsonize bacteria. They belong, for example, to antibodies against Meningococcus C or B E. coli Borrelia Pseudomonas Helicobacter pylori and Staphylococcus aureus 8. 5. Combination of the same or different effector genes The object of the invention is also a self-reinforcing expression system, possibly controlled by pharmacological means, in which a combination of the DNA sequences of two identical effector genes or of two different effector genes is presented [ components d) and d1)]. For the expression of both DNA sequences, another promoter sequence, or preferably the cDNA of an "entry site for internal ribosomes" (internal ribosome entry si te = IRES) as a regulatory element between both effector genes. An IRES makes possible the expression of two DNA sequences linked together through an IRES.
Such IRES were described for example by Montford and Smith (TIG 11, 179 (1995)); Kaufman and collaborators. Nucí Acids Res. 19, 4. 485 (1991); Morgan and collaborators, Nucí.
Acids Res. 20 .. 1293 (1992); Dirks et al., Gene 128, 247 (1993); Pelletier and Sonenberg, Nature 334, 320 (1988); and Sugitomo et al., BioTechn. 12, 694 (1994)). Thus, for example, the cDNA of the Poliovirus IRES sequence can be used (positions <140 to> 630 of the 5 'UTR). Preferably, in the sense of the invention, effector genes having an additive effect are to be linked through other promoter sequences or an IRES sequence. In the meaning of the invention, preferred combinations of effector genes are, for example, 8. 5.1. the therapy of tumors - identical or different proteins, cytostatic, apoptotic, cytotoxic or excitatory of inflammations or - same or different enzymes for the unfolding of the precursor compound of a cytostatic agent 8. 5.2. the therapy of autoimmune diseases - cytokines or different receptors with synergistic effect for the inhibition of the cellular and / or humoral immunological reaction or - TIMP 's different or equal 8. 5.3. the therapy of the defective formation of blood cells - different cytokines that occur hierarchically, such as for example IL-1, IL-3, IL-6 or GM-CSF and erythropoietin, GCSF or thrombopoietin 8.5.4. nerve cell injury therapy - a neuronal growth factor and a cytokine or the inhibitor of a ctcquma, 8. 5.5 the therapy of disorders of the blood coagulation system and blood circulation - an antithrombotic agent and a fibrinolytic agent (eg tPA or uPA) or - a cytostatic, apoptotic or cytotoxic protein, and an antithrombotic agent or agent fibrinolytic - several different blood coagulation factors, acting synergistically, for example FVIII and vWF or F VIII and F IX 8. 5.6. Vaccinations - an antigen and an immunostimulatory cytokine, such as for example a receptor for IL-la, IL-lß, IL-2, GM-CSF, IL-3 or IL-4 - different antigens of an infectious or infectious agent different pathogens of infections or different antigens of a tumor type or of different types of tumors. ~~ 8. 5.7. Therapy of viral infectious diseases - an antiviral protein and a cytostatic, apoptotic or cytotoxic protein - antibodies against different surface antigens of a virus or of several viruses. 8. 5.8. Therapy of bacterial infectious diseases - antibodies against different surface antigens and / or toxins of a germ 8.6. Introduction of signal sequences and transmembrane domains 8. 6.1. Reinforcement of the translation For the reinforcement of the translation it is possible to introduce, at the 3 'end of the promoter sequence and immediately next to the 5' end of the initiation signal (ATG) of the signal or transmembrane sequence, the sequence of GCCACC or GCCGCC nucleotides (Kozak, J. Cell Biol. 108, 299 (1989)). 8. 6.2. Facilitation of secretion To facilitate the secretion of the effector gene expression product, the homologous signal sequence contained in the DNA sequence of the effector gene can be replaced by a heterologous signal sequence, which enhances extracellular secretion. Thus, for example, the signal sequence for the immunoglobulin can be introduced (position in the DNA <63 to> 107; Riechmann et al., Nature, 332, 323 (1988)) or the signal sequence for the CEA ( position in DNA = 33 up to> 134; Schrewe et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 10, 2. 738 (1990); Berling et al., Cancer Res. 50, 6.534 (1990)) or the signal sequence of the human respiratory syncytial virus glycoprotein (cDNA of the amino acids <38 to = 50 or 48 to 65; Lichtenstein et al., J.
Gen Virol. 77, 109 (1996)). 8. 6.3. Anchoring of the active substance 3. 1) For the anchoring of the active substance in the cell membrane of the transduced cell, which forms the active substance, a sequence for a transmembrane domain can be introduced alternatively or additionally to the signal sequence. Thus, for example, the transmembrane sequence of the human macrophage colony stimulating factor can be introduced (position in the DNA = 1485 to = 1554, Cosman et al, Behring Inst. Mitt. 83., 15 (1988) or the sequence of DNA for the signal and transmembrane region of the glycoprotein G of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV = Respiratory Syncytial Virus) human (amino acids 1 to 63. or their partial sequences, amino acids 38 to 63; Vij aya and collaborators, Mol. Cell. Biol. 8, 1.709 (1988); Lichtenstein et al., J. Gen. Virol 77, 109 (1996) or the ADX sequence for the signal and transmembrane region of influenza virus neuramimdase (amino acids 7 to 35 or the partial sequence of amino acids 7 to 27; Brown et al., J. Virol 62 3824 (1988)) between the promoter sequence and the sequence of the effector gene. 3. 2) For the anchoring of the active substance in the cell membrane of the transduced cells forming the active substance, however, the nucleotide sequence for a glycophosphoi-lipid anchor can also be introduced. The introduction of a glycophospholipid anchor is carried out at the 3 'end of the nucleotide sequence for the effector gene and can be carried out in addition to the introduction of a signal sequence. Glycophospholipid anchors have been described, for example, for CEA, for N-CAM and for other membrane proteins, such as for example Thy-1 (see compilation in Ferguson et al., Ann.Rev. Biochem. 57_, 285 (1988)). 3. 3) Another possibility of anchoring active substances to the cell membrane corresponding to the present invention is the use of a DNA sequence for a fusion protein of a ligand and an active substance. The ligand specificity of this fusion protein is directed towards a membrane structure located in the cell membrane of the target cell chosen. The ligands, which bind to the cell surface, belong, for example, antibodies or fragments of antibodies, directed against structures on the surface, for example, of endothelial cells. They are especially counted among them antibodies against the VEGF receptors or against quinine receptors - or muscle cells, such as antibodies against actin or antibody or antibodies against angiotensin II receptors or antibodies against receptors for growth factors, such as for example against EGF receptors or against PDGF receptors or against FGF receptors or antibodies against endothelin A-A receptors. The ligands also include antibodies or fragments thereof, which are directed against tumor-specific antigens or associated with tumors located in the cell membrane of tumors Such antibodies have already been described. The murine monoclonal antibodies are preferably used in a humanized form. Fab and Fv fragments rec. and their fusion products are produced, as already described, with the technology known to a person skilled in the art. The ligands also include all the active substances, for example cytokines or adhesion molecules, growth factors or their fragments or partial sequences of them, mediators or peptide hormones, which bind to membrane structures or membrane receptors located in the respective chosen cell. For example they belong to them - ligands for endothelial cells, such as IL-1, PDGF, bFGF, VEGF, TGGβ or quinine and derivatives or quinine-like compounds - they also belong to them adhesion molecules. Such adhesion molecules as for example SLex, LFA-1, MAC-1, LeCAM-1, VLA-4 or vitronectin or derivatives or compounds analogous to vitronectin, have already been described for endothelial cells (compilations in Augustin-Voss et al.
