Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein are methods for creating and using mutein proteases with altered specificity for the target molecules they cleave. The invention further discloses methods of using wild-type and mutein granzyme B to target VEGFR proteins to treat diseases, such as cancer. Cleaving VEGFR at certain substrate sequences with wild-type and mutein granzyme B proteases is a method for treating pathologies associated with angiogenesis.
