The pleotropic nature of interleukin-2 (IL2) has allowed it to be used as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory therapeutic agent, through promotion of regulatory T cell (Treg) responses via the IL2RA receptor or promotion of CD8 T cell responses via the IL2RB receptor, respectively. However, the utility of IL2 as a treatment is limited by this same pleiotropy, and protein engineering to bias specificity towards either the regulatory T cell (Treg) or CD8 T cell lineage often requires a trade-off in protein production or total bioactivity. Here we use SolubiS, a computational algorithm-based method, to predict mutations within the IL2 structure to improve protein production yield while altering cellular selectivity, to generate a mutein with elevated therapeutic potential. The design and testing process identified the V126R (murine) / V111R (human) mutation as a Treg-enhancing mutein, creating a cation repulsion to inhibit primary binding to IL2RB, with a post-IL2RA confirmational shift enabling secondary IL2RB binding, and hence allowing the trimeric receptor complex to form. In human IL2, additional N110R T151R aggregation-protecting mutations could improve protein yield of the V111R mutation. The approach also generated novel CD8 T cell-promoting mutations. Y79K created a cation-cation repulsion with IL2RA, while Q50W enhanced CD8 T cell activity through potential pi-stacking enhancing binding to IL2RB, with the combination highly stimulatory for CD8 T cells. For human IL2, Y65K (homolog to murine Y79K) coupled with E82K prevented IL2RA binding, however it required the aggregation-protecting mutations of N110R T151R to rescue production. These muteins, designed with both cellular specificity and protein production features, have potential as both biological tools and therapeutics.
