PROT3EcT (PRObiotic Type III secretion E coli Therapeutic) is outfitted with a type III secretion system modified to deliver proteins into its surroundings. The design of PROT3EcT is modular. The operons that encode the protein secretion system are contained within a moveable element. Their expression is controlled via a master transcription factor whose expression can be constitutive or regulated. Heterologous proteins can be engineered to be secreted by appending their amino termini with a type III secretion sequence.In a preclinical mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), TNF-PROT3EcT, a variant that secretes an anti-TNFα neutralizing nanobody, inhibited the development of colitis. Given that E. coli can colonize both the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and solid tumors, PROT3EcT can be engineered for the targeted delivery of therapeutic payloads for the treatment of intestinal inflammation and infections as well as cancer, potentially limiting off-target side effects.
