  • a typical antigen binding site is comprised of the variable regions formed by the pairing of a light chain immunoglobulin and a heavy chain immunoglobulin. The structure of the antibody variable regions is very consistent and exhibits very similar structures. These variable regions are typically comprised of relatively homologous framework regions (FR) interspaced with three hypervariable regions termed Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs). The overall binding activity of the antigen binding fragment is often dictated by the sequence of the CDRs.
  • FR homologous framework regions
  • CDRs Complementarity Determining Regions
  • the FRs often play a role in the proper positioning and alignment in three dimensions of the CDRs for optimal antigen binding.
  • CDR sequences are responsible for most antibody-antigen interactions
  • Such framework sequences can be obtained from public DNA databases that include germline antibody gene sequences. These germline sequences will differ from mature antibody gene sequences because they will not include completely assembled variable genes, which are formed by V(D)J joining during B cell maturation. Germline gene sequences will also differ from the sequences of a high affinity secondary repertoire antibody which contains mutations throughout the variable gene but typically clustered in the CDRs. For example, somatic mutations are relatively infrequent in the amino terminal portion of framework region 1 and in the carboxy-terminal portion of framework region 4. Furthermore, many somatic mutations do not significantly alter the binding properties of the antibody. For this reason, it is not necessary to obtain the entire DNA sequence of a particular antibody in order to recreate an intact recombinant antibody having binding properties similar to those of the original antibody.
  • Partial heavy and light chain sequence spanning the CDR regions is typically sufficient for this purpose.

Description

WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 DRUG LINKERS AND ANTIBODY CONJUGATES THEREOF CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No.63/496,236 filed on April 14, 2023, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated herein in their entirety. REFERENCE TO A SEQUENCE LISTING The present application contains a Sequence Listing which has been submitted electronically in XML format and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The XML copy, created on March 30, 2024, is named AMBX-0241_00PCT.xml and is 79,778 bytes in size. BACKGROUND Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a potent class of therapeutic constructs advancing the field of cancer therapeutics by allowing targeted delivery of cytotoxic agents to target cells, such as cancer cells. Currently, only a few ADCs have been approved for therapeutic use including gemtuzumab ozogamicin for AML (subsequently withdrawn from the market), brentuximab vedotin for ALCL and Hodgkin lymphoma, and trastuzumab emtansine for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (Verma et al., N Engl J Med 367:1783-91, 2012; Bross et al., Clin Cancer Res 7:1490-96, 2001; Francisco et al., Blood 102:1458-65, 2003); and sacituzumab govitecan for metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) (Zaman et al., OncoTargets and Therapy 12: 1781-1790, 2019). However, ADCs face challenges due to lack of therapeutic index and toxicity. The linker technology for attachment of the cytotoxic drug to an antibody impacts the stability of ADCs during the systemic circulation. Therefore, there is a need in the art to design improved linkers such as phosphate-based linkers and drug design for antibody conjugation. The present disclosure provides phosphate-based linkers with tunable stability for intracellular delivery of drug conjugates. The phosphate-based linkers have differentiated and tunable stability in blood versus an intracellular environment and can further include a self- immolating linker. Antibody-drug conjugates that comprise these linkers are stable in circulation (plasma/blood) but reactive or cleavable in intracellular compartments, such as lysosomal compartments, making them useful for intracellular delivery, the rate being dependent on the structure of the tuning element. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides novel ADCs comprising phosphate-based linkers for drug design and for antibody conjugation. WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 In some general aspects, the present disclosure provides an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) of Formula (I):

The publications discussed herein are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing date of the present application. As used herein, the term “activated ester” or “active ester” refers to an ester functional group that is highly susceptible toward attack by a nucleophile. An activated ester can contain a modification to its precursor (or “unactivated”) ester by modification of the acyl or alkoxy moiety of the precursor ester. In a non-limiting example, the precursor ester is modified by incorporation of an electronegative substituent. Non-limiting examples of activated esters include thioesters and derivatives of nitrophenols or penthafluorophenol, esters derivatized with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), e.g., in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), esters derivatized with hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), and the like. As used herein, the term “acyl” refers to a group having the general formula -C(=O)RXI, wherein RXI is independently cyclic or acyclic, substituted or unsubstituted, branched or unbranched aliphatic; cyclic or acyclic, substituted or unsubstituted, branched or unbranched heteroaliphatic: WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 cyclic or acyclic, substituted or unsubstituted, branched or unbranched alkyl; cyclic or acyclic, substituted or unsubstituted, branched or unbranched alkenyl; substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl; substituted or unsubstituted aryl; substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl. Acyl substituents include, but are not limited to, any of the substituents described herein that result in the formation of a stable moiety (e.g., aliphatic, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, heteroaliphatic, heterocyclic, aryl, heteroaryl, - C(O)C1-C6 alkyl, oxo, imino, thiooxo, cyano, isocyano, amino, azido, nitro, hydroxyl, thiol, halogen, aliphaticamino, heteroaliphaticamino, alkylamino, heteroalkylamino, arylamino, heteroarylamino, alkylaryl, arylalkyl, aliphaticoxy, heteroaliphaticoxy, alkyloxy, heteroalkyloxy, aryloxy, heteroaryloxy, aliphatic thioxy, heteroaliphaticthioxy, alkylthioxy, heteroalkylthioxy, arylthioxy, heteroarylthioxy, acyloxy, and the like, each of which may or may not be further substituted). In some embodiments, an acyl is a group has the general formula -C(=O)RXI wherein RXI is substituted C1-C6 alkyl. In some embodiments, an acyl is a group has the general formula -C(=O)RXI wherein RXI is unsubstituted C1-C6 alkyl. In some embodiments, an acyl group as the formula -C(=O)CH3. The terms “alkoxy,” “alkylamino” and “alkylthio” (or thioalkoxy) are used in their conventional sense and refer to those alkyl groups linked to molecules via an oxygen atom, an amino group, or a sulfur atom, respectively. The term “alkyl,” by itself or as part of another molecule means, unless otherwise stated, a straight or branched chain, or cyclic hydrocarbon radical, or combination thereof, which may be fully saturated, mono- or polyunsaturated and can include di- and multivalent radicals, having the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e., C1-C10 means one to ten carbons). Examples of saturated hydrocarbon radicals include, but are not limited to, groups such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, cyclohexyl, (cyclohexyl)methyl, cyclopropylmethyl, homologs and isomers of, for example, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, and the like. An unsaturated alkyl group is one having one or more double bonds or triple bonds. Examples of unsaturated alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, vinyl, 2-propenyl, crotyl, 2-isopentenyl, 2-(butadienyl), 2,4- pentadienyl, 3-(1,4-pentadienyl), ethynyl, 1- and 3-propynyl, 3-butynyl, and the higher homologs and isomers. A “lower alkyl” is a shorter chain alkyl group, generally having eight or fewer carbon atoms. Substituents for each of the above noted alkyl groups are selected from the group of acceptable substituents described herein. The term “alkylene” by itself or as part of another molecule means a divalent radical derived from an alkane, as exemplified, by (–CH2–)n, wherein n may be 1 to about 24. By way of example only, such groups include, but are not limited to, groups having 10 or fewer carbon atoms such as the structures –CH2CH2– and –CH2CH2CH2CH2–. The term “alkylene” as used herein includes methylene having the structure –CH2–, unless otherwise noted. The term “alkylene,” unless WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 otherwise noted, is also meant to include those groups described herein as “heteroalkylene.” Substituents for arylene groups are selected from the group of acceptable substituents described herein. The term “alkenylene” by itself or as part of another molecule means a divalent radical derived from an alkene, as exemplified, by (–CH=CH–)n, wherein n may be 1 to about 24. By way of example only, such groups include, but are not limited to, groups having 10 or fewer carbon atoms such as the structures –CH=CH– and –CH=CHCH2CH2–. The term “alkenylene,” unless otherwise noted, is also meant to include those groups described herein as “heteroalkenylene.” The term “alkynylene” by itself or as part of another molecule means a divalent radical derived from an alkyne, as exemplified, by (–C=C–)n, wherein n may be 1 to about 24.

The term “alkynylene,” unless otherwise noted, is also meant to include those groups described herein as “heteroalkynylene.” In embodiments are provided novel amino acid sequences. The term “amino acid” refers to naturally occurring and non-natural or unnatural amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally encoded amino acids are the 20 common amino acids (alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine) and pyrolysine and selenocysteine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and a functional R group. Such analogs may have modified R groups (by way of example, norleucine) or may have modified peptide backbones while still retaining the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid. Non- limiting examples of amino acid analogs include homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methyl sulfonium. Amino acids may be referred to herein by either their name, their commonly known three letter symbols or by the one-letter symbols recommended by the IUPAC- IUB Biochemical Nomenclature Commission. Additionally, nucleotides, may be referred to by their commonly accepted single-letter codes. An “amino or carboxy terminus modification group” refers to any molecule that can be attached to a terminal amine group or terminal carboxy group, respectively. By way of example, such terminal amine groups or terminal carboxy groups may be at the end of polymeric molecules, wherein such polymeric molecules include, but are not limited to, polypeptides, polynucleotides, and polysaccharides. Terminus modification groups include but are not limited to, various water-soluble WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 polymers, peptides or proteins. By way of example only, terminus modification groups include polyethylene glycol or serum albumin. Terminus modification groups may be used to modify therapeutic characteristics of the polymeric molecule, including but not limited to increasing the serum half-life of peptides, polypeptides or proteins. In some embodiments the disclosure provides novel antibodies and antibody variants. The term “antibody” herein refers to a protein consisting of one or more polypeptides substantially encoded by all or part of the antibody genes. The immunoglobulin genes include, but are not limited to, the kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4), delta, epsilon and mu constant region genes, as well as the myriad immunoglobulin variable region genes. Antibody herein is also meant to include full-length antibodies and antibody fragments, and include antibodies that exist naturally in any organism, antibody variants, engineered antibodies and antibody fragments. Antibody herein is also meant to include intact antibody, monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies. Antibody herein also encompasses, multispecific antibodies and/or bispecific antibodies. Antibodies of the present disclosure include human antibodies. Human antibodies are usually made of two light chains and two heavy chains each comprising variable regions and constant regions. The light chain variable region comprises 3 CDRs, identified herein as CDRL1, CDRL2 and CDRL3 flanked by framework regions. The heavy chain variable region comprises 3 CDRs, identified herein as CDRH1, CDRH2 and CDRH3 flanked by framework regions. The term “antibody fragment” herein refers to any form of an antibody other than the full- length form. Antibody fragments herein include antibodies that are smaller components that exist within full-length antibodies, and antibodies that have been engineered, such as antibody variants. Antibody fragments include but are not limited to Fv, Fc, Fab, and (Fab')2, single chain Fv (scFv), diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, bifunctional hybrid antibodies, CDR1, CDR2, CDR3, combinations of CDRs, variable regions, framework regions, constant regions, heavy chains, light chains, and variable regions, and alternative scaffold non-antibody molecules, bispecific antibodies, and the like (Maynard & Georgiou, Annu. Rev. Biomed. Eng.2:339-76, 2000; Hudson, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol.9:395-402, 1998). Another functional substructure is a single chain Fv (scFv), comprised of the variable regions of the immunoglobulin heavy and light chain, covalently connected by a peptide linker (Hu et al., Cancer Research, 56, 3055-3061, 1996). These small (Mr 25,000) proteins generally retain specificity and affinity for antigen in a single polypeptide and can provide a convenient building block for larger, antigen-specific molecules. Unless specifically noted otherwise, statements and claims that use the term “antibody” or “antibodies” specifically includes “antibody fragment” and “antibody fragments.” WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 In some embodiments, novel antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are disclosed. The term “antibody-drug conjugate, or “ADC”, as used herein, refers to an antibody molecule, or fragment thereof, that is covalently bonded to one or more biologically active molecule(s). The biologically active molecule may be conjugated to the antibody through a linker, polymer, or other covalent bond. ADCs are a potent class of therapeutic constructs that allow targeted delivery of cytotoxic agents to target cells, such as cancer cells. Because of the targeting function, these compounds show a much higher therapeutic index compared to the same systemically delivered agents. ADCs have been developed as intact antibodies or antibody fragments, such as scFvs. The antibody or fragment is linked to one or more copies of drug via a linker that is stable under physiological conditions, but that may be cleaved once inside the target cell. The term "antigen-binding fragment", as used herein, refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to bind to an antigen. It has been shown that the antigen-binding function of an antibody can be performed by fragments of an intact antibody. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CH1 domains; (ii) a F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; (iv) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody, (v) a dAb fragment (Ward et al., Nature 341:544- 546, 1989), which consists of a VH domain; (vi) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR), e.g., VH CDR3 comprising or not additional sequence (linker, framework region(s) etc.) and (v) a combination of two to six isolated CDRs comprising or not additional sequence (linker, framework region(s) etc.). Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, are coded for by separate genes, they can be joined, using recombinant methods, by a synthetic linker that enables them to be made as a single polypeptide chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form monovalent molecules (known as single chain Fv (scFv); see e.g., Bird et al., Science 242:423- 426, 1988); and (Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883, 1988). Such single chain antibodies are also intended to be encompassed within the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody. Furthermore, the antigen-binding fragments include binding-domain immunoglobulin fusion proteins comprising (i) a binding domain polypeptide (such as a heavy chain variable region, a light chain variable region, or a heavy chain variable region fused to a light chain variable region via a linker peptide) that is fused to an immunoglobulin hinge region polypeptide, (ii) an immunoglobulin heavy chain CH2 constant region fused to the hinge region, and (iii) an immunoglobulin heavy chain CH3 constant region fused to the CH2 constant region. The hinge region may be modified by replacing one or more cysteine residues with serine residues to prevent WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 dimerization. Such binding-domain immunoglobulin fusion proteins are further disclosed in US 2003/0118592 and US 2003/0133939. These antibody fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those with skill in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same manner as are intact antibodies. A typical antigen binding site is comprised of the variable regions formed by the pairing of a light chain immunoglobulin and a heavy chain immunoglobulin. The structure of the antibody variable regions is very consistent and exhibits very similar structures. These variable regions are typically comprised of relatively homologous framework regions (FR) interspaced with three hypervariable regions termed Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs). The overall binding activity of the antigen binding fragment is often dictated by the sequence of the CDRs. The FRs often play a role in the proper positioning and alignment in three dimensions of the CDRs for optimal antigen binding. In fact, because CDR sequences are responsible for most antibody-antigen interactions, it is possible to express recombinant antibodies that shows the properties of specific naturally occurring antibodies by constructing expression vectors that include CDR sequences from the specific naturally occurring antibody grafted onto framework sequences from a different antibody with different properties (see, e.g., Riechmann, L. et al., Nature 332:323-327, 1998; Jones, P. et al., Nature 321:522-525, 1986; and Queen, C. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. USA 86:10029-10033, 1989). Such framework sequences can be obtained from public DNA databases that include germline antibody gene sequences. These germline sequences will differ from mature antibody gene sequences because they will not include completely assembled variable genes, which are formed by V(D)J joining during B cell maturation. Germline gene sequences will also differ from the sequences of a high affinity secondary repertoire antibody which contains mutations throughout the variable gene but typically clustered in the CDRs. For example, somatic mutations are relatively infrequent in the amino terminal portion of framework region 1 and in the carboxy-terminal portion of framework region 4. Furthermore, many somatic mutations do not significantly alter the binding properties of the antibody. For this reason, it is not necessary to obtain the entire DNA sequence of a particular antibody in order to recreate an intact recombinant antibody having binding properties similar to those of the original antibody. Partial heavy and light chain sequence spanning the CDR regions is typically sufficient for this purpose. The partial sequence is used to determine which germline variable and joining gene segments contributed to the recombined antibody variable genes. The germline sequence is then used to fill in missing portions of the variable regions. Heavy and light chain leader sequences are cleaved during protein maturation and do not contribute to the properties of the final antibody. To add missing sequences, cloned cDNA sequences can be combined with synthetic oligonucleotides by ligation or PCR amplification. Alternatively, the entire variable region WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 can be synthesized to create an entirely synthetic variable region clone. This process has certain advantages such as elimination or inclusion of particular restriction sites, or optimization of particular codons. Of course, the totality or portions of the framework region of the antibody described herein may be used in conjunction with the CDRs in order to optimize the affinity, specificity or any other desired properties of the antibody. The term “aromatic” or “aryl”, as used herein, refers to a closed ring structure which has at least one ring having a conjugated pi electron system and includes both carbocyclic aryl and heterocyclic aryl (or “heteroaryl” or “heteroaromatic”) groups. The carbocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic group may contain from 5 to 20 ring atoms. The term includes monocyclic rings linked covalently or fused-ring polycyclic (i.e., rings which share adjacent pairs of carbon atoms) groups. An aromatic group can be unsubstituted or substituted. Non-limiting examples of “aromatic” or “aryl”, groups include phenyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, 4-biphenyl, anthracenyl, and phenanthracenyl. Non-limiting examples of “heteroaryl” groups are described herein. Substituents for each of the above noted aryl and heteroaryl ring systems are selected from the group of acceptable substituents described herein. For brevity, the term “aromatic” or “aryl” when used in combination with other terms (including but not limited to, aryloxy, arylthioxy, aralkyl) includes both aryl and heteroaryl rings as defined above. Thus, the term “aralkyl” or “alkaryl” is meant to include those radicals in which an aryl group is attached to an alkyl group (including but not limited to, benzyl, phenethyl, pyridylmethyl and the like) including those alkyl groups in which a carbon atom (including but not limited to, a methylene group) has been replaced by a heteroatom, by way of example only, by an oxygen atom. Examples of such aryl groups include, but are not limited to, phenoxymethyl, 2- pyridyloxymethyl, 3-(1-naphthyloxy)propyl, and the like. The term “arylene”, as used herein, refers to a divalent aryl radical. Non-limiting examples of “arylene” include phenylene, pyridinylene, pyrimidinylene and thiophenylene. Substituents for arylene groups are selected from the group of acceptable substituents described herein. In some embodiments the disclosure concerns polymers such as a bifunctional polymer. A “bifunctional polymer”, also referred to as a “bifunctional linker”, refers to a polymer comprising two functional groups that are capable of reacting specifically with other moieties to form covalent or non-covalent linkages. Such moieties may include, but are not limited to, the side groups on natural or non-natural amino acids or peptides which contain such natural or non-natural amino acids. The other moieties that may be linked to the bifunctional linker or bifunctional polymer may be the same or different moieties. By way of example only, a bifunctional linker may have a functional group reactive with a group on a first peptide, and another functional group which is reactive with a group WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 on a second peptide, whereby forming a conjugate that includes the first peptide, the bifunctional linker and the second peptide. Many procedures and linker molecules for attachment of various compounds to peptides are known. See, for example, European Patent Application No. 0188256; U.S. Patent Nos.4,659,839; 4,414,148; 4,699,784; 4,680,338; and 4,569,789 incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. A “multi-functional polymer” also referred to as a “multi-functional linker”, refers to a polymer comprising two or more functional groups that are capable of reacting with other moieties. Such moieties may include, but are not limited to, the side groups on natural or non-natural amino acids or peptides which contain such natural or non-natural amino acids (including but not limited to, amino acid side groups) to form covalent or non-covalent linkages. A bi-functional polymer or multi-functional polymer may be any desired length or molecular weight and may be selected to provide a particular desired spacing or conformation between one or more molecules linked to a compound and molecules it binds to, or to the compound. The term “bioavailability,” as used herein, refers to the rate and extent to which a substance or its active moiety is delivered from a pharmaceutical dosage form and becomes available at the site of action or in the general circulation. Increases in bioavailability refers to increasing the rate and extent a substance or its active moiety is delivered from a pharmaceutical dosage form and becomes available at the site of action or in the general circulation. By way of example, an increase in bioavailability may be indicated as an increase in concentration of the substance or its active moiety in the blood when compared to other substances or active moieties. The term “biologically active molecule”, “biologically active moiety” or “biologically active agent” when used herein means any substance which can affect any physical or biochemical properties of a biological system, pathway, molecule, or interaction relating to an organism, including but not limited to, viruses, bacteria, bacteriophage, transposon, prion, insects, fungi, plants, animals, and humans. In particular, as used herein, biologically active molecules include but are not limited to any substance intended for diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in humans or other animals, or to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being of humans or animals. Examples of biologically active molecules include, but are not limited to, peptides, proteins, enzymes, small molecule drugs, hard drugs, soft drugs, prodrugs, carbohydrates, inorganic atoms or molecules, dyes, lipids, nucleosides, radionuclides, oligonucleotides, toxins, cells, viruses, liposomes, microparticles and micelles. Classes of biologically active agents that are suitable for use with the methods and compositions described herein include, but are not limited to, drugs, prodrugs, radionuclides, imaging agents, polymers, antibiotics, fungicides, anti-viral agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-tumor agents, cardiovascular agents, anti-anxiety agents, hormones, growth factors, steroidal and nonsteroidal agents, microbially derived toxins, and the like. WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 By “modulating biological activity” is meant increasing or decreasing the reactivity of a polypeptide, altering the selectivity of the polypeptide, enhancing or decreasing the substrate selectivity of the polypeptide. Analysis of modified biological activity can be performed by comparing the biological activity of the non-natural polypeptide to that of the natural polypeptide. In some embodiments the disclosure concerns amino acids that have been biosynthetically incorporated in the antibody. The term “biosynthetically,” as used herein, refers to any method utilizing a translation system (cellular or non-cellular), including use of at least one of the following components: a polynucleotide, a codon, a tRNA, and a ribosome. By way of example, non-natural amino acids may be “biosynthetically incorporated” into non-natural amino acid polypeptides using the methods and techniques described herein and as is well known in the art. See for example, WO2010/011735 and WO2005/074650. The term “carbonyl” as used herein refers to the moiety -C(O)-. Groups containing a carbonyl include but are not limited to a ketone, an aldehyde, an ester, a carboxylic acid, a thioester and an amide. In addition, such groups may be part of linear, branched, or cyclic molecules. The term “chemically cleavable group,” also referred to as “chemically labile”, as used herein, refers to a group which breaks or cleaves upon exposure to acid, base, oxidizing agents, reducing agents, chemical initiators or radical initiators. The term “chromophore,” as used herein, refers to a molecule which absorbs light of visible wavelengths, UV wavelengths or IR wavelengths. A “comparison window,” as used herein, refers a segment of any one of contiguous positions used to compare a sequence to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned. Such contiguous positions include, but are not limited to a group consisting of from about 20 to about 600 sequential units, including about 50 to about 200 sequential units, and about 100 to about 150 sequential units. By way of example only, such sequences include polypeptides and polypeptides containing non-natural amino acids, with the sequential units include, but are not limited to natural and non-natural amino acids. In addition, by way of example only, such sequences include polynucleotides with nucleotides being the corresponding sequential units. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well-known in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, including but not limited to, by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman (1970) Adv. Appl. Math.2:482c, by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol.48:443, by the search for similarity method of Pearson and Lipman (1988) Proc. Nat’l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444, by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, WI), WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 or by manual alignment and visual inspection (see, e.g., Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (1995 supplement)). By way of example, an algorithm which may be used to determine percent sequence identity and sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al. (1997) Nuc. Acids Res. 25:3389-3402, and Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses as defaults a wordlength (W) of 11, an expectation (E) or 10, M=5, N=-4 and a comparison of both strands. For amino acid sequences, the BLASTP program uses as defaults a wordlength of 3, and expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff and Henikoff (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:10915) alignments (B) of 50, expectation (E) of 10, M=5, N=-4, and a comparison of both strands. The BLAST algorithm is typically performed with the “low complexity” filter turned off. The BLAST algorithm also performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (see, e.g., Karlin and Altschul (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5787). One measure of similarity provided by the BLAST algorithm is the smallest sum probability (P(N)), which provides an indication of the probability by which a match between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences would occur by chance. For example, a nucleic acid is considered similar to a reference sequence if the smallest sum probability in a comparison of the test nucleic acid to the reference nucleic acid is less than about 0.2, or less than about 0.01, or less than about 0.001. The term “conservatively modified variants” applies to both natural and non-natural amino acid and natural and non-natural nucleic acid sequences, and combinations thereof. With respect to particular nucleic acid sequences, “conservatively modified variants” refers to those natural and non- natural nucleic acids which encode identical or essentially identical natural and non-natural amino acid sequences, or where the natural and non-natural nucleic acid does not encode a natural and non- natural amino acid sequence, to essentially identical sequences. By way of example, because of the degeneracy of the genetic code, a large number of functionally identical nucleic acids encode any given protein. For instance, the codons GCA, GCC, GCG and GCU all encode the amino acid alanine. Thus, at every position where an alanine is specified by a codon, the codon can be altered to any of the corresponding codons described without altering the encoded polypeptide. Such nucleic acid variations are “silent variations,” which are one species of conservatively modified variations. Thus, by way of example every natural or non-natural nucleic acid sequence herein which encodes a natural or non-natural polypeptide also describes every possible silent variation of the natural or non-natural WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 nucleic acid. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that each codon in a natural or non-natural nucleic acid (except AUG, which is ordinarily the only codon for methionine, and TGG, which is ordinarily the only codon for tryptophan) can be modified to yield a functionally identical molecule. Accordingly, each silent variation of a natural and non-natural nucleic acid which encodes a natural and non-natural polypeptide is implicit in each described sequence. As to amino acid sequences, individual substitutions, deletions or additions to a nucleic acid, peptide, polypeptide, or protein sequence which alters, adds or deletes a single natural and non-natural amino acid or a small percentage of natural and non-natural amino acids in the encoded sequence is a “conservatively modified variant” where the alteration results in the deletion of an amino acid, addition of an amino acid, or substitution of a natural and non-natural amino acid with a chemically similar amino acid. Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar natural amino acids are well known in the art. Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The following eight groups each contain amino acids that are conservative substitutions for one another: 1) Alanine (A), Glycine (G); 2) Aspartic acid (D), Glutamic acid (E); 3) Asparagine (N), Glutamine (Q); 4) Arginine (R), Lysine (K); 5) Isoleucine (I), Leucine (L), Methionine (M), Valine (V); 6) Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y), Tryptophan (W); 7) Serine (S), Threonine (T); and 8) Cysteine (C), Methionine (M) (see, e.g., Creighton, Proteins: Structures and Molecular Properties (W H Freeman & Co.; 2nd edition, 1993). Such conservatively modified variants are in addition to and do not exclude polymorphic variants, interspecies homologs, and alleles of the compositions described herein. The terms “cycloalkyl” and “heterocycloalkyl”, by themselves or in combination with other terms, represent, unless otherwise stated, cyclic versions of “alkyl” and “heteroalkyl”, respectively. Thus, a cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl includes saturated, partially unsaturated and fully unsaturated ring linkages. Additionally, for heterocycloalkyl, a heteroatom can occupy the position at which the heterocycle is attached to the remainder of the molecule. The heteroatom may include, but is not limited to, oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur. The carbocycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl group can contain from 3 to 20 ring atoms. Examples of cycloalkyl include, but are not limited to, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, 1-cyclohexenyl, 3-cyclohexenyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctynyl, and the like. Examples of heterocycloalkyl include, but are not limited to, 1–(1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridyl), 1-piperidinyl, 2- piperidinyl, 3-piperidinyl, 4-morpholinyl, 3-morpholinyl, tetrahydrofuran-2-yl, tetrahydrofuran-3-yl, tetrahydrothien-2-yl, tetrahydrothien-3-yl, 1–piperazinyl, 2-piperazinyl, and the like. Additionally, the term encompasses multicyclic structures, including but not limited to, bicyclic and tricyclic ring structures. Similarly, the term “heterocycloalkylene” by itself or as part of another molecule means a divalent radical derived from heterocycloalkyl, and the term “cycloalkylene” by itself or as part of WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 another molecule means a divalent radical derived from cycloalkyl. Substituents for each of the above noted cycloalkyl and heterocycloalkyl ring systems are selected from the group of acceptable substituents described herein. The term “cyclodextrin,” as used herein, refers to cyclic carbohydrates consisting of at least six to eight glucose molecules in a ring formation. The outer part of the ring contains water soluble groups; at the center of the ring is a relatively nonpolar cavity able to accommodate small molecules. The term “diamine” as used herein, refers to groups/molecules comprising at least two amine functional groups, including, but not limited to, a hydrazine group, an amidine group, an imine group, a 1,1-diamine group, a 1,2-diamine group, a 1,3-diamine group, and a 1,4-diamine group. In addition, such groups may be part of linear, branched, or cyclic molecules. The term “detectable label,” as used herein, refers to a label which may be observable using analytical techniques including, but not limited to, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, electron-spin resonance, ultraviolet/visible absorbance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic resonance, and electrochemical methods. The term “dicarbonyl” as used herein refers to a group containing at least two moieties selected from the group consisting of -C(O)-, -S(O)-, -S(O)2-, and –C(S)-, including, but not limited to, 1,2-dicarbonyl groups, a 1,3-dicarbonyl groups, and 1,4-dicarbonyl groups, and groups containing a least one ketone group, and/or at least one aldehyde groups, and/or at least one ester group, and/or at least one carboxylic acid group, and/or at least one thioester group. Such dicarbonyl groups include diketones, ketoaldehydes, ketoacids, ketoesters, and ketothioesters. In addition, such groups may be part of linear, branched, or cyclic molecules. The two moieties in the dicarbonyl group may be the same or different, and may include substituents that would produce, by way of example only, an ester, a ketone, an aldehyde, a thioester, or an amide, at either of the two moieties. The term “drug,” as used herein, refers to any substance used in the prevention, diagnosis, alleviation, treatment, or cure of a disease or condition such as cancer, including but not limited to oral, colorectal, gastric, esophageal, hepatocellular, non-small-cell-lung (NSCL), small-cell lung (SCL), ovarian, breast including triple-negative breast, prostate, pancreatic, head and neck, squamous, renal, bladder, cervical, endometrial, thyroid, glioblastoma cancer. The term “drug-to-antibody ratio” (“DAR”) as used herein refers to the average (mean) number of drugs that are conjugated to an antibody in an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composition. The DAR value reflects the homogeneity of the ADC population in the composition, and also indicates the amount of “payload” (e.g., drug or drug-linker) that is loaded onto an antibody and can be delivered to a target (e.g., cell or diseased tissue). DAR can be determined by methods known to a person of ordinary skill in the art, for example, LC-MS (e.g., see Tang, Y. et al., Real- WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 Time Analysis on Drug-Antibody Ratio of Antibody-Drug Conjugates for Synthesis, Process Optimization and Quality Control, Sci Rep 7, 7763 (2017). doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-08151-2; and Chen, Y. Drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) by UV/Vis spectroscopy, Methods Mol. Biol., 2013;1045:267-73. doi: 10.1007/978-1-62703-541-5_16). In a non-limiting example, an ADC can have a population distribution of 20% of drug-loaded antibody, wherein the drug load is two (2) drugs per antibody; 25% of drug-loaded antibody, wherein the drug load is three (3) drugs per antibody; and 55% of drug-loaded antibody, wherein the drug load is four (4) drugs per antibody; thus, in this example, DAR is [(0.2 x 2) + (0.25 x 3) + (0.55 x 4)] = 3.35. The term “dye” as used herein, refers to a soluble, coloring substance which contains a chromophore. The term “effective amount,” as used herein, refers to a sufficient amount of an agent, compound or composition being administered which will relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disease or condition being treated. The result can be reduction and/or alleviation of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. By way of example, an agent, compound or composition being administered includes, but is not limited to, a natural amino acid polypeptide, non-natural amino acid polypeptide, modified natural amino acid polypeptide, modified non-amino acid polypeptide, or an antibody or variant thereof. Compositions containing such natural amino acid polypeptides, non-natural amino acid polypeptides, modified natural amino acid polypeptides, modified non-natural amino acid polypeptides, or an antibody or variant thereof can be administered for prophylactic, enhancing, and/or therapeutic treatments. An appropriate “effective” amount in any individual case may be determined using techniques, such as a dose escalation study. The terms “enhance” or “enhancing” means to increase or prolong either in potency or duration a desired effect. By way of example, “enhancing” the effect of therapeutic agents refers to the ability to increase or prolong, either in potency or duration, the effect of therapeutic agents on during treatment of a disease, disorder or condition. An “enhancing-effective amount,” as used herein, refers to an amount adequate to enhance the effect of a therapeutic agent in the treatment of a disease, disorder or condition. When used in a patient, amounts effective for this use will depend on the severity and course of the disease, disorder or condition, previous therapy, the patient's health status and response to the drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician. As used herein, the term “eukaryote” refers to organisms belonging to the phylogenetic domain Eucarya, including but not limited to animals (including but not limited to, mammals, insects, reptiles, birds, etc.), ciliates, plants (including but not limited to, monocots, dicots, and algae), fungi, yeasts, flagellates, microsporidia, and protists. WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 The terms “functional group”, “active moiety”, “activating group”, “leaving group”, “reactive site”, “chemically reactive group” and “chemically reactive moiety,” as used herein, refer to portions or units of a molecule at which chemical reactions occur.

Substituents for each of the above noted heteroalkyl groups are selected from the group of acceptable substituents described herein. The terms “heterocyclic-based linkage” or “heterocycle linkage” refers to a moiety formed from the reaction of a dicarbonyl group with a diamine group. The resulting reaction product is a heterocycle, including a heteroaryl group or a heterocycloalkyl group. The resulting heterocycle group serves as a chemical link between a non-natural amino acid or non-natural amino acid polypeptide and another functional group. In one embodiment, the heterocycle linkage includes a nitrogen-containing heterocycle linkage, including by way of example only a pyrazole linkage, a pyrrole linkage, an indole linkage, a benzodiazepine linkage, and a pyrazalone linkage. WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 Similarly, the term “heteroalkylene” refers to a divalent radical derived from heteroalkyl, as exemplified, but not limited by, -CH2-CH2-S-CH2-CH2- and –CH2-S-CH2-CH2-NH-CH2-. For heteroalkylene groups, the same or different heteroatoms can also occupy either or both of the chain termini (including but not limited to, alkyleneoxy, alkylenedioxy, alkyleneamino, alkylenediamino, aminooxyalkylene, and the like). Still further, for alkylene and heteroalkylene linking groups, no orientation of the linking group is implied by the direction in which the formula of the linking group is written. By way of example, the formula –C(O)2R’- represents both –C(O)2R’- and –R’C(O)2-. The term "heteroaryl" or "heteroaromatic," as used herein, refers to aryl groups which contain at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of N, O and S; wherein the nitrogen and sulfur atoms are optionally oxidized, and the nitrogen atom(s) are optionally quaternized. The heteroaryl group may contain from 5 to 20 ring atoms. The term includes monocyclic rings linked covalently or fused-ring polycyclic (i.e., rings which share adjacent pairs of atoms) groups. Heteroaryl groups may be substituted or unsubstituted. A heteroaryl group may be attached to the remainder of the molecule through a ring heteroatom or a ring carbon atom.

Substituents for each of the above noted heteroaryl ring systems are selected from the group of acceptable substituents described herein. WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 The term "humanized or chimeric antibody" refer to a molecule, generally prepared using recombinant techniques, having an antigen binding site derived from an immunoglobulin from a non- human species, (e.g., murine), and the remaining immunoglobulin structure of the molecule based upon the structure and/or sequence of a human immunoglobulin. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the framework residues/regions (FR) are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody optionally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. The humanized forms of rodent antibodies will essentially comprise the same CDR sequences of the parental rodent antibodies, although certain amino acid substitutions may be included to increase affinity, increase stability of the humanized antibody, or for other reasons. However, as CDR loop exchanges do not uniformly result in an antibody with the same binding properties as the antibody of origin, changes in framework residues (FR), residues involved in CDR loop support, might also be introduced in humanized antibodies to preserve antigen binding affinity. The antigen-binding site may comprise either complete variable domains fused onto constant domains or only the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) grafted onto appropriate framework regions in the variable domains. Antigen binding sites may be wild type or modified by one or more amino acid substitutions. This eliminates the constant region as an immunogen in human individuals, but the possibility of an immune response to the foreign variable region remains (LoBuglio, A. F. et al., "Mouse/Human Chimeric Monoclonal Antibody in Man: Kinetics and Immune Response," Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 86:4220-4224, 1989). Another approach focuses not only on providing human-derived constant regions but modifying the variable regions as well so as to reshape them as closely as possible to human form. It is known that the variable regions of both heavy and light chains contain three complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) which vary in response to the antigens in question and determine binding capability, flanked by four framework regions (FRs) which are relatively conserved in a given species and which putatively provide a scaffolding for the CDRs. When nonhuman antibodies are prepared with respect to a particular antigen, the variable regions can be "humanized" by grafting CDRs derived from nonhuman antibody on the FRs present in the human antibody to be modified. Application of this approach to various antibodies has been reported by Kettleborough, C. A. et al., "Humanization Of A Mouse Monoclonal Antibody By CDR-Grafting: The Importance Of Framework Residues On Loop Conformation," Protein Engineering 4:773- 3783,1991; Co, M. S. et al., "Humanized Antibodies For Antiviral Therapy," Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 88:2869-2873,1991; Carter, P. et al., "Humanization Of An Anti-p185her2 Antibody For WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 Human Cancer Therapy," Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 89:4285-4289,1992; and Co, M. S. et al., "Chimeric And Humanized Antibodies With Specificity For The CD33 Antigen," J. Immunol. 148:1149-1154,1992. In some embodiments, humanized antibodies preserve all CDR sequences (for example, a humanized mouse antibody which contains all six CDRs from the mouse antibodies). In other embodiments, humanized antibodies have one or more CDRs (one, two, three, four, five, six) which are altered with respect to the original antibody, which are also termed one or more CDRs "derived from" one or more CDRs from the original antibody. The term “identical,” as used herein, refers to two or more sequences or subsequences which are the same. In addition, the term “substantially identical,” as used herein, refers to two or more sequences which have a percentage of sequential units which are the same when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a comparison window, or designated region as measured using comparison algorithms or by manual alignment and visual inspection. By way of example only, two or more sequences may be “substantially identical” if the sequential units are about 60% identical, about 65% identical, about 70% identical, about 75% identical, about 80% identical, about 85% identical, about 90% identical, or about 95% identical over a specified region. Such percentages describe the “percent identity” of two or more sequences. The identity of a sequence can exist over a region that is at least about 75-100 sequential units in length, over a region that is about 50 sequential units in length, or, where not specified, across the entire sequence. This definition also refers to the complement of a test sequence. By way of example only, two or more polypeptide sequences are identical when the amino acid residues are the same, while two or more polypeptide sequences are “substantially identical” if the amino acid residues are about 60% identical, about 65% identical, about 70% identical, about 75% identical, about 80% identical, about 85% identical, about 90% identical, or about 95% identical over a specified region. The identity can exist over a region that is at least about 75 to about 100 amino acids in length, over a region that is about 50 amino acids in length, or, where not specified, across the entire sequence of a polypeptide sequence. In addition, by way of example only, two or more polynucleotide sequences are identical when the nucleic acid residues are the same, while two or more polynucleotide sequences are “substantially identical” if the nucleic acid residues are about 60% identical, about 65% identical, about 70% identical, about 75% identical, about 80% identical, about 85% identical, about 90% identical, or about 95% identical over a specified region. The identity can exist over a region that is at least about 75 to about 100 nucleic acids in length, over a region that is about 50 nucleic acids in length, or, where not specified, across the entire sequence of a polynucleotide sequence. The term “immunogenicity,” as used herein, refers to an antibody response to administration of a therapeutic drug. The immunogenicity toward therapeutic non-natural amino acid polypeptides WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 can be obtained using quantitative and qualitative assays for detection of anti-non-natural amino acid polypeptides antibodies in biological fluids. Such assays include, but are not limited to, Radioimmunoassay (RIA), Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), luminescent immunoassay (LIA), and fluorescent immunoassay (FIA). Analysis of immunogenicity toward therapeutic non-natural amino acid polypeptides involves comparing the antibody response upon administration of therapeutic non-natural amino acid polypeptides to the antibody response upon administration of therapeutic natural amino acid polypeptides. The term “isolated” as used herein refers to separating and removing a component of interest from components not of interest. Isolated substances can be in either a dry or semi-dry state, or in solution, including but not limited to an aqueous solution. The isolated component can be in a homogeneous state or the isolated component can be a part of a pharmaceutical composition that comprises additional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or excipients. Purity and homogeneity may be determined using analytical chemistry techniques including, but not limited to, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or high-performance liquid chromatography. In addition, when a component of interest is isolated and is the predominant species present in a preparation, the component is described herein as substantially purified. The term “purified,” as used herein, may refer to a component of interest which is at least 85% pure, at least 90% pure, at least 95% pure, at least 99% or greater pure. By way of example only, nucleic acids or proteins are “isolated” when such nucleic acids or proteins are free of at least some of the cellular components with which it is associated in the natural state, or that the nucleic acid or protein has been concentrated to a level greater than the concentration of its in vivo or in vitro production. Also, by way of example, a gene is isolated when separated from open reading frames which flank the gene and encode a protein other than the gene of interest. The term “label” as used herein, refers to a substance which is incorporated into a compound and is readily detected, whereby its physical distribution may be detected and/or monitored. The term “linkage” or “adduct moiety” as used herein refers to a bond or chemical moiety formed from a chemical reaction between the functional group of one group, such as a linker of the present disclosure, and another molecule. Such bonds may include, but are not limited to, covalent linkages and non-covalent bonds, while such chemical moieties may include, but are not limited to, esters, carbonates, imines, phosphate esters, hydrazones, acetals, orthoesters, peptide linkages, oximes and oligonucleotide linkages. Hydrolytically stable linkages mean that the linkages are substantially stable in water and do not react with water at useful pH values, including but not limited to, under physiological conditions for an extended period of time, perhaps even indefinitely. Hydrolytically unstable or degradable linkages mean that the linkages are degradable in water or in WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 aqueous solutions, including for example, blood. Enzymatically unstable or degradable linkages mean that the linkage can be degraded by one or more enzymes. By way of example only, PEG and related polymers may include degradable linkages in the polymer backbone or in the linker group between the polymer backbone and one or more of the terminal functional groups of the polymer molecule. Such degradable linkages include but are not limited to ester linkages formed by the reaction of PEG carboxylic acids or activated PEG carboxylic acids with alcohol groups on a biologically active agent, wherein such ester groups generally hydrolyze under physiological conditions to release the biologically active agent. Other hydrolytically degradable linkages include but are not limited to carbonate linkages; imine linkages resulted from reaction of an amine and an aldehyde; phosphate ester linkages formed by reacting an alcohol with a phosphate group; hydrazone linkages which are reaction product of a hydrazide and an aldehyde; acetal linkages that are the reaction product of an aldehyde and an alcohol; orthoester linkages that are the reaction product of a formate and an alcohol; peptide linkages formed by an amine group, including but not limited to, at an end of a polymer such as PEG, and a carboxyl group of a peptide; and oligonucleotide linkages formed by a phosphoramidite group, including but not limited to, at the end of a polymer, and a 5' hydroxyl group of an oligonucleotide. The term “linker” as used herein refers to any multivalent group that connects, or is capable of connecting, a first group to at least one other group. Typically, a linker is a bivalent or a trivalent organic moiety that connects a drug (first group) to a biologically active agent (second group), e.g., via a linkage or adduct moiety, or that connects a drug (first group) to a reactive moiety (second group), wherein the reactive moiety is capable of reacting with a biologically active agent. Linkers can be susceptible to cleavage (cleavable linkers), such as, acid-induced cleavage, photo-induced cleavage, peptidase-induced cleavage, esterase-induced cleavage, and disulfide bond cleavage, and so on, at conditions under which the drug and the at least one other group remains active. Alternatively, linkers can be substantially resistant to cleavage (e.g., stable linker or non-cleavable linker). In some embodiments, the linker is a bivalent or trivalent group comprising, or consisting of, at least one moiety, wherein each at least one moiety is independently selected from the group consisting of a bond, unsubstituted alkylene, substituted alkylene, –(alkylene–O)nn–, optionally substituted arylene, -O-, -C(O)-, -C(S)-, -N(Rw)-, -S(O)0-2-, methine (-CH)-, an amino acid, a peptide, a disulfide (-S-S-) and a phosphate-containing moiety; and combinations thereof; wherein: each nn is independently an integer from 1 to 100; each Rw is independently H, C1-C8 alkyl or a bond; and each phosphate-containing moiety is independently selected from the group consisting of a phosphate ester, a pyrophosphate ester, a triphosphate ester, a tetraphosphate ester, a phosphonate, a WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 diphosphonate, a phosporamidate, a pyrophosporamidate, a triphosphoramidate, a tetraphosphoramidate, a phosphorthioate and a diphosphorthioate. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, no orientation of the linker is implied by the direction in which the formula of the linker group is written. By way of example, the formula –C(O)CH2CH2– represents both –C(O)CH2CH2– and –CH2CH2C(O)–. In another example, the formula –C(O)CH2CH2– represents both *– C(O)CH2CH2– and –C(O)CH2CH2–*, wherein * denotes a point of connection, for example, connection to a drug. In some embodiments, when a selected moiety occurs two or more times in the same linker, the two or more occurrences are not adjacent. In some embodiments, a linker is not a bond. In some embodiments, a linker is a bivalent moiety that connects a first group and a second group. In some other embodiments, the linker is a trivalent moiety that connects a first group, a second group and a third group. In a non-limiting example, a trivalent moiety is C(H) (i.e., methine) or N. In some other embodiments, a linker is a tetravalent moiety that connects a first group, a second group and a third group. In some embodiments, a linker connects at least a first group and a second group, wherein the first group is a drug, and the second group is a biologically active polypeptide or protein. In some embodiments, the biologically active polypeptide or protein contains at least one non-natural amino acid. In some embodiments, the linker connects the drug to a non-natural amino acid of the biologically active polypeptide or protein. In some embodiments, the biologically active polypeptide or protein is an antibody. Thus, the antibody connected to a drug via a linker can be an antibody- drug conjugate (ADC), such as an ADC of the present disclosure. In some other embodiments, a linker connects at least a first group and a second group, wherein the first group is a drug, and the second group is a reactive moiety. In some embodiments, the second group is a reactive moiety that is capable of reacting with a biologically active polypeptide or protein. In some embodiments, the biologically active polypeptide or protein contains at least one non-natural amino acid. Thus, in some embodiments, the reactive moiety is capable of reacting with a non-natural amino acid of the biologically active polypeptide or protein. In some embodiments, the biologically active polypeptide or protein is an antibody. In some embodiments, a first linker is connected to a second linker, and the combined linkers (a composite linker) connects at least a first group and a second group. A composite linker of the present disclosure can contain 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more linker groups. In a non-limiting example, a first, second and third linker group are joined together to provide a composite linker that can connect a first group (e.g., a drug) to at least one other group, such as a reactive moiety and/or a WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 biologically active polypeptide or protein (e.g., an antibody. In some embodiments, the biologically active polypeptide or protein (e.g., antibody) contains a non-natural amino acid. In some embodiments, a linker is linear. In other embodiments, a linker is branched. In some embodiments, a linker is a phosphate-based linker. The term “phosphate-based linker” as used herein refers to a linker comprising a phosphate- based moiety, wherein the phosphate-based moiety is a phosphate ester, a pyrophosphate ester, a triphosphate ester, a tetraphosphate ester, a phosphonate, a diphosphonate, a phosporamidate, a pyrophosporamidate, a triphosphoramidate, a tetraphosphoramidate, a phosphorthioate and/or a diphosphorthioate. The terms “medium” or “media” as used herein refer to any culture medium used to grow and harvest cells and/or products expressed and/or secreted by such cells. Such “medium” or “media” include, but are not limited to, solution, solid, semi-solid, or rigid supports that may support or contain any host cell, including, by way of example, bacterial host cells, yeast host cells, insect host cells, plant host cells, eukaryotic host cells, mammalian host cells, CHO cells, prokaryotic host cells, E. coli, or Pseudomonas host cells, and cell contents. Such “medium” or “media” includes, but is not limited to, medium or media in which the host cell has been grown into which a polypeptide has been secreted, including medium either before or after a proliferation step. Such “medium” or “media” also includes, but is not limited to, buffers or reagents that contain host cell lysates, by way of example a polypeptide produced intracellularly, and the host cells are lysed or disrupted to release the polypeptide. The term “metabolite” as used herein refers to a derivative of a compound, by way of example natural amino acid polypeptide, a non-natural amino acid polypeptide, a modified natural amino acid polypeptide, or a modified non-natural amino acid polypeptide, that is formed when the compound, by way of example natural amino acid polypeptide, non-natural amino acid polypeptide, modified natural amino acid polypeptide, or modified non-natural amino acid polypeptide, is metabolized. The term “pharmaceutically active metabolite” or “active metabolite” refers to a biologically active derivative of a compound, by way of example natural amino acid polypeptide, a non-natural amino acid polypeptide, a modified natural amino acid polypeptide, or a modified non-natural amino acid polypeptide, that is formed when such a compound, by way of example a natural amino acid polypeptide, non-natural amino acid polypeptide, modified natural amino acid polypeptide, or modified non-natural amino acid polypeptide, is metabolized. The term “pharmaceutically active metabolite” or “active metabolite” also refers to biologically active derivatives of a compound, by way of example metabolizing phosphate linkages including monophosphate, diphosphate, pyrophosphate and triphosphate but not limited to such. WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 The term “metabolized,” as used herein, refers to the sum of the processes by which a particular substance is changed by an organism. Such processes include, but are not limited to, hydrolysis reactions and reactions catalyzed by enzymes. Further information on metabolism may be obtained from The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th Edition, McGraw-Hill (1996). By way of example only, metabolites of natural amino acid polypeptides, non-natural amino acid polypeptides, modified natural amino acid polypeptides, or modified non-natural amino acid polypeptides may be identified either by administration of the natural amino acid polypeptides, non- natural amino acid polypeptides, modified natural amino acid polypeptides, or modified non-natural amino acid polypeptides to a host and analysis of tissue samples from the host, or by incubation of natural amino acid polypeptides, non-natural amino acid polypeptides, modified natural amino acid polypeptides, or modified non-natural amino acid polypeptides with hepatic cells in vitro and analysis of the resulting compounds. The term “modified,” as used herein refers to the presence of a change to a natural amino acid, a non-natural amino acid, a natural amino acid polypeptide or a non-natural amino acid polypeptide. Such changes, or modifications, may be obtained by post synthesis modifications of natural amino acids, non-natural amino acids, natural amino acid polypeptides or non-natural amino acid polypeptides, or by co-translational, or by post-translational modification of natural amino acids, non-natural amino acids, natural amino acid polypeptides or non-natural amino acid polypeptides. As used herein, the term “modulated serum half-life” refers to positive or negative changes in the circulating half-life of a modified biologically active molecule relative to its non-modified form. By way of example, the modified biologically active molecules include, but are not limited to, natural amino acid, non-natural amino acid, natural amino acid polypeptide or non-natural amino acid polypeptide. By way of example, serum half-life is measured by taking blood samples at various time points after administration of the biologically active molecule or modified biologically active molecule and determining the concentration of that molecule in each sample. Correlation of the serum concentration with time allows calculation of the serum half-life. By way of example, modulated serum half-life may be an increased in serum half-life, which may enable an improved dosing regimen or avoid toxic effects. Such increases in serum may be at least about two-fold, at least about three-fold, at least about five-fold, or at least about ten-fold. Methods for evaluating serum half-life are known in the art and may be used for evaluating the serum half-life of antibodies and antibody drug conjugates of the present disclosure. The term “modulated therapeutic half-life” as used herein refers to positive or negative change in the half-life of the therapeutically effective amount of a modified biologically active molecule, relative to its non-modified form. By way of example, the modified biologically active WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 molecules include, but are not limited to, natural amino acid, non-natural amino acid, natural amino acid polypeptide or non-natural amino acid polypeptide. By way of example, therapeutic half-life is measured by measuring pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic properties of the molecule at various time points after administration. Increased therapeutic half-life may enable a particular beneficial dosing regimen, a particular beneficial total dose, or avoids an undesired effect. By way of example, the increased therapeutic half-life may result from increased potency, increased or decreased binding of the modified molecule to its target, an increase or decrease in another parameter or mechanism of action of the non-modified molecule, or an increased or decreased breakdown of the molecules by enzymes such as, by way of example only, proteases. Methods for evaluating therapeutic half-life are known in the art and may be used for evaluating the therapeutic half-life of antibodies and antibody drug conjugates of the present disclosure. The term “nanoparticle” as used herein refers to a particle which has a particle size of within a range of about 0.1 nm to about 1000 nm. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle has a particle size of within a range of about 0.1 nm to about 750 nm. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle has a particle size of within a range of about 1 nm to about 500 nm. As used herein, the term “non-eukaryote” refers to non-eukaryotic organisms. By way of example, a non-eukaryotic organism may belong to the Eubacteria, (which includes but is not limited to, Escherichia coli, Thermus thermophilus, or Bacillus stearothermophilus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida), phylogenetic domain, or the Archaea, which includes, but is not limited to, Methanococcus jannaschii, Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, Archaeoglobus fulgidus, Pyrococcus furiosus, Pyrococcus horikoshii, Aeuropyrum pernix, or Halobacterium such as Haloferax volcanii and Halobacterium species NRC- 1, or phylogenetic domain. The term “non-natural amino acid” as used herein refers to an amino acid that is not one of the 20 common amino acids or pyrolysine or selenocysteine. Other terms that may be used synonymously with the term “non-natural amino acid” herein include “non-naturally encoded amino acid,” “unnatural amino acid,” “non-naturally-occurring amino acid,” and variously hyphenated and non-hyphenated versions thereof. The term “non-natural amino acid” includes, but is not limited to, amino acids which occur naturally by modification of a naturally encoded amino acid (including but not limited to, the 20 common amino acids or pyrrolysine and selenocysteine) but are not themselves incorporated into a growing polypeptide chain by the translation complex. Examples of naturally- occurring amino acids that are not naturally-encoded include, but are not limited to, N- acetylglucosaminyl-L-serine, N-acetylglucosaminyl-L-threonine, and O-phosphotyrosine. Additionally, the term “non-natural amino acid” includes, but is not limited to, amino acids which do WSGR Ref.

The term “nucleic acid” as used herein refers to deoxyribonucleotides, deoxyribonucleosides, ribonucleosides or ribonucleotides and polymers thereof in either single- or double-stranded form. By way of example only, such nucleic acids and nucleic acid polymers include, but are not limited to, (i) analogues of natural nucleotides which have similar binding properties as a reference nucleic acid and are metabolized in a manner similar to naturally occurring nucleotides; (ii) oligonucleotide analogs including, but are not limited to, PNA (peptidonucleic acid), analogs of DNA used in antisense technology (phosphorothioates, phosphoroamidates, and the like); (iii) conservatively modified variants thereof (including but not limited to, degenerate codon substitutions) and complementary sequences and sequence explicitly indicated. By way of example, degenerate codon substitutions may be achieved by generating sequences in which the third position of one or more selected (or all) codons is substituted with mixed-base and/or deoxyinosine residues (Batzer et al., Nucleic Acid Res.19:5081, 1991; Ohtsuka et al., J.

The term “PEGylating” or “PEGylated” is meant to refer to the covalent bonding of the specified synthetic amino acid to a polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecule. The method can comprise contacting an isolated polypeptide comprising a synthetic amino acid with a water-soluble polymer comprising a moiety that reacts with polypeptide comprising a synthetic amino acid with a water-soluble polymer comprising a moiety ADC polypeptide comprising a synthetic amino acid with a water-soluble polymer comprising a CD70 ADC polypeptide comprising a synthetic amino acid with a water-soluble polymer comprising a moiety that reacts with the synthetic amino acid. The terms “polypeptide,” “peptide” and “protein” are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. That is, a description directed to a polypeptide applies equally to a description of a peptide and a description of a protein, and vice versa. The terms apply to naturally occurring amino acid polymers as well as amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues is a non-natural amino acid. Additionally, such “polypeptides,” “peptides” and “proteins” include amino acid chains of any length, including full length proteins, wherein the amino acid residues are linked by covalent peptide bonds. In some embodiments, a “peptide” can refer to a polymer of 2 to 12 amino acids, wherein the amino acid residues are linked by covalent peptide bonds. In some embodiments, a peptide contains 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 amino acids. In some embodiments, a peptide contains 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 amino acids. In some embodiments, a peptide contains 2, 3 or 4 amino acids; non-limiting examples include a dipeptide, a tripeptide and a tetrapeptide. The term “post-translationally modified” refers to any modification of a natural or non-natural amino acid which occurs after such an amino acid has been translationally incorporated into a polypeptide chain. Such modifications include, but are not limited to, co-translational in vivo modifications, co-translational in vitro modifications (such as in a cell-free translation system), post- translational in vivo modifications, and post-translational in vitro modifications. The term “prodrug” or “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug” as used herein refers to an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo or in vitro, which does not abrogate the biological WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 activity or properties of the drug, and is relatively nontoxic, i.e., the material may be administered to an individual without causing undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the components of the composition in which it is contained. Prodrugs are generally drug precursors that, following administration to a subject and subsequent absorption, are converted to an active, or a more active species via some process, such as conversion by a metabolic pathway. Some prodrugs have a chemical group present on the prodrug that renders it less active and/or confers solubility or some other property to the drug. Once the chemical group has been cleaved and/or modified from the prodrug the active drug is generated. Prodrugs are converted into active drug within the body through enzymatic or non-enzymatic reactions. Prodrugs may provide improved physiochemical properties such as better solubility, enhanced delivery characteristics, such as specifically targeting a particular cell, tissue, organ or ligand, and improved therapeutic value of the drug. The benefits of such prodrugs include, but are not limited to, (i) ease of administration compared with the parent drug; (ii) the prodrug may be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not; and (iii) the prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions compared with the parent drug. A prodrug includes a pharmacologically inactive, or reduced activity, derivative of an active drug. Prodrugs may be designed to modulate the amount of a drug or biologically active molecule that reaches a desired site of action through the manipulation of the properties of a drug, such as physiochemical, biopharmaceutical, or pharmacokinetic properties. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a non-natural amino acid polypeptide which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”) to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is detrimental to mobility and that is then metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity, once inside the cell where water solubility is beneficial. Prodrugs may be designed as reversible drug derivatives, for use as modifiers to enhance drug transport to site-specific tissues. The term “prophylactically effective amount” as used herein refers to an amount of a composition containing at least one non-natural amino acid polypeptide or at least one modified non- natural amino acid polypeptide prophylactically applied to a patient which will relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of a disease, condition or disorder being treated. In such prophylactic applications, such amounts may depend on the patient's state of health, weight, and the like. It is considered well within the skill of the art for one to determine such prophylactically effective amounts by routine experimentation, including, but not limited to, a dose escalation clinical trial. The term “protected,” as used herein, refers to the presence of a “protecting group” or moiety that prevents reaction of the chemically reactive functional group under certain reaction conditions. The protecting group will vary depending on the type of chemically reactive group being protected. WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 By way of example only, (i) if the chemically reactive group is an amine or a hydrazide, the protecting group may be selected from tert-butyloxycarbonyl (t-Boc) and 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc); (ii) if the chemically reactive group is a thiol, the protecting group may be orthopyridyldisulfide; and (iii) if the chemically reactive group is a carboxylic acid, such as butanoic or propionic acid, or a hydroxyl group, the protecting group may be benzyl or an alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, or tert- butyl. By way of example only, blocking/protecting groups may be selected from:

The term “safety” or “safety profile” as used herein, refers to side effects that might be related to administration of a drug relative to the number of times the drug has been administered. By way of example, a drug which has been administered many times and produced only mild or no side effects is said to have an excellent safety profile. The term “subject” as used herein, refers to an animal which is the object of treatment, observation or experiment. By way of example only, a subject may be, but is not limited to, a mammal including, but not limited to, a human. The term “substantially purified,” as used herein, refers to a component of interest that may be substantially or essentially free of other components which normally accompany or interact with the component of interest prior to purification. By way of example only, a component of interest may be “substantially purified” when the preparation of the component of interest contains less than about 30%, less than about 25%, less than about 20%, less than about 15%, less than about 10%, less than about 5%, less than about 4%, less than about 3%, less than about 2%, or less than about l% (by dry weight) of contaminating components.

By way of example only, a natural amino acid polypeptide or a non-natural amino acid polypeptide may be purified from a native cell, or host cell in the case of recombinantly produced natural amino acid polypeptides or non-natural amino acid polypeptides. By way of example a preparation of a natural amino acid polypeptide or a non-natural amino acid polypeptide may be “substantially purified” when the preparation contains less than about 30%, less than about 25%, less than about 20%, less than about 15%, less than about 10%, less than about 5%, less than about 4%, less than about 3%, less than about 2%, or less than about l% (by dry weight) of contaminating material.

Each R group in the preceding list includes, but is not limited to, H, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, halogen or alkaryl. Where substituent groups are specified by their conventional chemical formulas, written from left to right, they equally encompass the chemically identical substituents that would result from writing the structure from right to left; for example, - CH2O- is equivalent to –OCH2-. By way of example only, substituents for alkyl and heteroalkyl radicals (including those groups referred to as alkylene, alkenyl, heteroalkylene, heteroalkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, and heterocycloalkenyl) include, but are not limited to: -OR, =O, =NR, =N-OR, -NR2, -SR, -halogen, -SiR3, -OC(O)R, -C(O)R, -CO2R, -CONR2, -OC(O)NR2, - NRC(O)R, -NRC(O)NR2, -NR(O)2R, -NR-C(NR2)=NR, -S(O)R, -S(O)2R, -S(O)2NR2, -NRSO2R, - WSGR Ref.

The term “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refers to the amount of a composition containing at least one non-natural amino acid polypeptide and/or at least one modified non-natural amino acid polypeptide administered to a patient already suffering from a disease, condition or disorder, sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest, or relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disease, disorder or condition being treated. The effectiveness of such compositions depends on conditions including, but not limited to, the severity and course of the disease, disorder or condition, previous therapy, the patient's health status and response to the drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician. By way of example only, therapeutically effective amounts may be determined by routine experimentation, including but not limited to a dose escalation clinical trial. The term “toxic”, or “toxic moiety” or “toxic group” or “cytotoxic” or “cytotoxic payload” or “payload” or “cytotoxic drug” or “drug” as used herein, refers to a cytotoxic compound which can cause harm, disturbances, or death.

The term “treat”, “treated”, “treating” or “treatment” can refer to the decrease, reduction or amelioration of one or more symptoms or conditions or diseases associated with an antigen related or associated cancer. The term “treat”, “treated”, “treating” or “treatment” can refer to the administration of an ADC of the present disclosure to a subject in need thereof to decrease, reduce, improve, alter, relieve, affect or ameliorate an antigen related or associated cancer or disease or symptom or condition, or the predisposition toward a condition. The term "capable of specific binding" refers to protein or peptide (e.g., antibody) binding to a predetermined target substance (e.g., an antigen and/or groups of antigens), e.g. a target substance that is expressed on the surface of a cell; thus the term "binding to a target cell" or "binding to a cancer cell" is to be understand as referring to protein or peptide (e.g., antibody) binding to a predetermined target substance (e.g. antigen or antigens) that is expressed on such a cell. Typically, the protein or peptide (e.g., antibody) binds with an affinity of at least about l x 107 M1, and/or binds to the predetermined target substance (e.g., antigen, antigens or cell) with an affinity that is at least two-fold greater than its affinity for binding to a non-specific control substance (e.g., BSA, casein, non-cancer cells) other than the predetermined target substance or a closely-related target substance. As used herein, the term “water-soluble polymer” refers to any polymer that is soluble in aqueous solvents. Such water-soluble polymers include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol propionaldehyde, mono C1-C10 alkoxy or aryloxy derivatives thereof (described in U.S. Patent No.5,252,714 which is incorporated by reference herein), monomethoxy-polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polyamino acids, divinylether maleic anhydride, N- (2-Hydroxypropyl)-methacrylamide, dextran, dextran derivatives including dextran sulfate, polypropylene glycol, polypropylene oxide/ethylene oxide copolymer, polyoxyethylated polyol, heparin, heparin fragments, polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, glycans, cellulose and cellulose derivatives, including but not limited to methylcellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose, serum albumin, starch and starch derivatives, polypeptides, polyalkylene glycol and derivatives thereof, copolymers of polyalkylene glycols and derivatives thereof, polyvinyl ethyl ethers, and alpha-beta-poly[(2- hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide, and the like, or mixtures thereof. By way of example only, coupling of such water-soluble polymers to natural amino acid polypeptides or non-natural polypeptides may result in changes including, but not limited to, increased water solubility, increased or modulated serum half-life, increased or modulated therapeutic half-life relative to the unmodified form, increased bioavailability, modulated biological activity, extended circulation time, modulated WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 immunogenicity, modulated physical association characteristics including, but not limited to, aggregation and multimer formation, altered receptor binding, altered binding to one or more binding partners, and altered receptor dimerization or multimerization. In addition, such water-soluble polymers may or may not have their own biological activity. Introduction Antibody-based therapeutics have emerged as important components of therapies for an increasing number of human malignancies in such fields as oncology, immunology, inflammatory and infectious diseases. In most cases, the basis of the therapeutic function is the high degree of specificity and affinity the antibody-based drug has for its target antigen. Arming monoclonal antibodies with drugs, toxins, or radionuclides is yet another strategy by which monoclonal antibodies may induce therapeutic effect. By combining the exquisite targeting specificity of antibody with the tumor killing power of toxic effector molecules, immunoconjugates permit sensitive discrimination between target and normal tissue thereby resulting in fewer side effects than most conventional chemotherapeutic drugs. The toxins utilized can specifically, stably and irreversibly conjugate to unique sites in the antibody. This unique process of conjugation allows for the precise control of the location of the toxin on the antibody, and also the number of toxins conjugated to each antibody. Both features are critical for controlling biophysical characteristics and toxicities associated with ADCs. (See for example Jackson et al., 2014, Tian et al., 2014). Currently ADCs are advancing the field of cancer therapeutics and a number of ADCs targeting various agents have been approved or are in clinical trials. However, ADCs face challenges due to lack of therapeutic index and toxicity. The linker technology for attachment of the cytotoxic drug to an antibody impacts the stability of ADCs during the systemic circulation. The release of free drug in the circulation instead of the release inside the antigen expressing cancer cells can cause ADC potency loss, insufficient immunogenic cancer cell death, and increased toxicity. Therefore, there is a need to design a stable linker such as phosphate-based linkers for drug design and antibody conjugation. ADC Antibodies and Antibody Sequences The present invention provides novel ADCs comprising antibodies, antibody fragments or variants thereof engineered to have one, or more non-natural amino acids incorporated at any desired position in the heavy and/or light chain amino acid sequence.

Non-Natural Amino Acids The present disclosure provides antibodies, antibody fragments or variants comprising at least one non-natural amino acid. Introduction of at least one non-natural amino acid into an antibody can WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 allow for the application of conjugation chemistries that involve specific chemical reactions with one or more non-natural amino acids while not reacting with the commonly occurring 20 amino acids. Non-natural amino acid site selection was based on surface exposure/site accessibility within the antibody and hydrophobic or neutral amino acid sites were selected to maintain the charge on the antibody. Methods for introducing non-natural amino acids inserted into sites in a protein are described for example in WO2010/011735 and in WO2005/074650. The present disclosure employs such methodologies and techniques. The non-natural amino acids used in the methods and compositions described herein have at least one of the following four properties: (1) at least one functional group on the sidechain of the non-natural amino acid has at least one characteristics and/or activity and/or reactivity orthogonal to the chemical reactivity of the 20 common, genetically- encoded amino acids (i.e., alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine), or at least orthogonal to the chemical reactivity of the naturally occurring amino acids present in the polypeptide that includes the non-natural amino acid; (2) the introduced non-natural amino acids are substantially chemically inert toward the 20 common, genetically-encoded amino acids; (3) the non-natural amino acid can be stably incorporated into a polypeptide, preferably with the stability commensurate with the naturally-occurring amino acids or under typical physiological conditions, and further preferably such incorporation can occur via an in vivo system; and (4) the non-natural amino acid includes an oxime functional group or a functional group that can be transformed into an oxime group by reacting with a reagent, preferably under conditions that do not destroy the biological properties of the polypeptide that includes the non- natural amino acid (unless of course such a destruction of biological properties is the purpose of the modification/transformation), or where the transformation can occur under aqueous conditions at a pH between about 4 and about 8, or where the reactive site on the non-natural amino acid is an electrophilic site. Any number of non-natural amino acids can be introduced into the polypeptide. Non-natural amino acids may also include protected or masked oximes or protected or masked groups that can be transformed into an oxime group after deprotection of the protected group or unmasking of the masked group. Non-natural amino acids may also include protected or masked carbonyl or dicarbonyl groups, which can be transformed into a carbonyl or dicarbonyl group after deprotection of the protected group or unmasking of the masked group and thereby are available to react with hydroxylamines or oximes to form oxime groups. Oxime-based non-natural amino acids may be synthesized by methods well known in the art, (see for example WO2013/185117 and WO2005/074650), including: (a) reaction of a hydroxylamine-containing non-natural amino acid with a carbonyl- or dicarbonyl-containing reagent; (b) reaction of a carbonyl- or dicarbonyl- WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 containing non-natural amino acid with a hydroxylamine-containing reagent; or (c) reaction of an oxime-containing non-natural amino acid with certain carbonyl- or dicarbonyl-containing reagents. In some embodiments, non-naturally encoded amino acid site selection is based on surface exposure. Example, one possible site is an amino acid having a solvent accessible surface area ratio of 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 60% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more, 90% or more, or 95% or more. In some embodiments, one possible site is an amino acid having a solvent accessible surface area ratio of about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, or about 95%, or more. The solvent accessible surface area can be calculated based on the DSSP program [Biopolymers, 22, 2577-2637 (1983)], using a crystalline structure analyzing data file of antibodies or antibody fragments registered in Protein data bank (PDB). The ratio of the solvent accessible surface area of the amino acid residues of interest can be calculated by dividing the antibody structural solvent accessible surface area calculated in the above by the solvent accessible surface area of alanine-X-alanine (X represents the amino acid residues of interest). In this connection, there is a case in which two or more PDB files are present on one species of protein, and any one of them can be used in the present invention. Alternatively, the solvent accessibility of an amino acid can be determined by a solvent accessibility test in which a functional group on the amino acid (a thiol, amino, or carbonyl group) is functionalized when treated with an electrophilic reagent or a nucleophilic reagent, or the like. Based on the test results, the functional group (i.e., the thiol, amino, or carbonyl group) can be called, for example, at least 50% solvent accessible when at least 50% of the functional group is functionalized in the test. In some embodiments, the non-natural amino acid site is at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, or at least 95% solvent accessible. Examples of solvent accessibility test include, but are not limited to, Non-natural amino acids that may be used in the methods and compositions described herein include, but are not limited to, amino acids comprising amino acids with novel functional groups, amino acids that covalently or noncovalently interact with other molecules, glycosylated amino acids such as a sugar substituted serine, other carbohydrate modified amino acids, keto-containing amino acids, aldehyde-containing amino acids, amino acids comprising polyethylene glycol or other polyethers, heavy atom substituted amino acids, chemically cleavable and/or photocleavable amino acids, amino acids with an elongated side chains as compared to natural amino acids, including but not limited to, polyethers or long chain hydrocarbons, including but not limited to, greater than about 5 or greater than about 10 carbons, carbon-linked sugar-containing amino acids, redox-active amino acids, amino thioacid containing amino acids, and amino acids comprising one or more toxic moiety.

The one or more non-natural amino acids may be encoded by a codon that does not code for one of the twenty natural amino acids. The one or more non-natural amino acids may be encoded by a nonsense codon (stop codon). The stop codon may be an amber codon. The amber codon may comprise a UAG sequence. The stop codon may be an ochre codon. The ochre codon may comprise a UAA sequence. The stop codon may be an opal or umber codon. The opal or umber codon may comprise a UGA sequence.

In certain embodiments of the disclosure, an antibody with at least one non-natural amino acid includes at least one post-translational modification. In one embodiment, the at least one post- translational modification comprises attachment of a molecule including but not limited to, a water- WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 soluble polymer, a derivative of polyethylene glycol, a drug, a second protein or polypeptide or polypeptide analog, an antibody or antibody fragment, a biologically active agent, a small molecule, or any combination of the above or any other desirable compound or substance, comprising a second reactive group to at least one non-natural amino acid comprising a first reactive group utilizing chemistry methodology that is known to one of ordinary skill in the art to be suitable for the particular reactive groups.

In some embodiments disclosed herein the non-natural amino acid is site-specifically incorporated into the antibody, antibody fragment or variant. In some embodiments the non-natural amino acid is site-specifically incorporated into an antibody, antibody fragment or variant. Methods for incorporating a non-natural amino acid into a molecule, for example, proteins, polypeptides or peptides, are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.: 7,332,571; 7,928,163; 7,696,312; 8,008,456; 8,048,988; 8,809,511; 8,859,802; 8,791,231; 8,476,411; or 9,637,411, (each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), and in the Examples herein. The one or more non-natural amino acids may be incorporated by methods known in the art. For example, cell-based or cell-free systems may be used, and auxotrophic strains may also be used in place of engineered tRNA and synthetase. In certain WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 embodiments, orthogonal tRNA synthetase are used as disclosed in for example, WO2002085923A2; WO2002086075A2; WO2004035743A2; WO2007021297A1; WO2006068802A2; and WO2006069246A2; the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Incorporating one or more non-natural amino acids into the antibody or antibody fragment or variant may comprise modifying one or more amino acid residues in the antibody or antibody fragment or variant. Modifying the one or more amino acid residues in the antibody or antibody fragment or variant may comprise mutating one or more nucleotides in the nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody or antibody fragment or variant. Mutating the one or more nucleotides in the nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody or antibody fragment or variant may comprise altering a codon encoding an amino acid to a nonsense codon. Incorporating one or more non-natural amino acids into the antibody or antibody fragment or variant may comprise modifying one or more amino acid residues in the antibody or antibody fragment or variant to produce one or more amber codons in the antibody or antibody fragment or variant. The one or more non-natural amino acids may be incorporated into the antibody or antibody fragment or variant in response to an amber codon. The one or more non-natural amino acids may be site-specifically incorporated into the antibody or antibody fragment or variant. Incorporating one or more non-natural amino acids into the antibody or antibody fragment or variant may comprise one or more genetically encoded non-natural amino acids with orthogonal chemical reactivity relative to the canonical twenty amino acids to site- specifically modify the biologically active molecule or targeting agent. As understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art, the twenty canonical amino acids are alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine and valine. Incorporating the one or more non-natural amino acids may comprise use of a tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair to site- specifically incorporate one or more non-natural amino acids at defined sites in the biologically active molecule or targeting agent in response to one or more amber nonsense codon. Additional methods for incorporating non-natural amino acids include, but are not limited to, methods disclosed in Chatterjee et al., A Versatile Platform for Single- and Multiple-Unnatural Amino Acid Mutagenesis in Escherichia coli, Biochemistry, 2013; Kazane et al., J Am Chem Soc, 135(1):340-6, 2013; Kim et al., J Am Chem Soc, 134(24):9918-21, 2012; Johnson et al., Nat Chem Biol, 7(11):779-86, 2011; and Hutchins et al., J Mol Biol, 406(4):595-603, 2011. The one or more non-natural amino acids may be produced through selective reaction of one or more natural amino acids. The selective reaction may be mediated by one or more enzymes. In non-limiting examples, the selective reaction of one or more cysteines with formylglycine generating enzyme (FGE) may produce one or more formylglycines as described in Rabuka et al., Nature Protocols 7: 1052-1067, 2012. The one or more non-natural amino WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 acids may involve a chemical reaction to form a linker. The chemical reaction to form the linker may include a bioorthogonal reaction. The chemical reaction to form the linker may include click chemistry. See for example WO2006/050262 incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Any position of the antibody or antibody fragment is suitable for selection to incorporate a non-natural amino acid, and selection may be based on rational design or by random selection for any or no particular desired purpose. Selection of desired sites may be based on producing a non- natural amino acid polypeptide (which may be further modified or remain unmodified) having any desired property or activity, including but not limited to a receptor binding modulators, receptor activity modulators, modulators of binding to binder partners, binding partner activity modulators, binding partner conformation modulators, dimer or multimer formation, no change to activity or property compared to the native molecule, or manipulating any physical or chemical property of the polypeptide such as solubility, aggregation, or stability. Alternatively, the sites identified as critical to biological activity may also be good candidates for substitution with a non-natural amino acid, again depending on the desired activity sought for the polypeptide. Another alternative would be to simply make serial substitutions in each position on the polypeptide chain with a non-natural amino acid and observe the effect on the activities of the polypeptide. Any means, technique, or method for selecting a position for substitution with a non-natural amino acid into any polypeptide is suitable for use in the methods, techniques and compositions described herein. The structure and activity of naturally-occurring mutants of a polypeptide that contain deletions can also be examined to determine regions of the protein that are likely to be tolerant of substitution with a non-natural amino acid. Once residues that are likely to be intolerant to substitution with non-natural amino acids have been eliminated, the impact of proposed substitutions at each of the remaining positions can be examined using methods including, but not limited to, the three-dimensional structure of the relevant polypeptide, and any associated ligands or binding proteins. X-ray crystallographic and NMR structures of many polypeptides are available in the Protein Data Bank (PDB, see world wide web for rcsb.org), a centralized database containing three- dimensional structural data of large molecules of proteins and nucleic acids, and can be used to identify amino acid positions that can be substituted with non-natural amino acids. In addition, models may be made investigating the secondary and tertiary structure of polypeptides, if three- dimensional structural data is not available. Thus, the identity of amino acid positions that can be substituted with non-natural amino acids can be determined by the skilled person. Exemplary sites of incorporation of a non-natural amino acid include, but are not limited to, those that are excluded from potential receptor binding regions, or regions for binding to binding proteins or ligands may be fully or partially solvent exposed, have minimal or no hydrogen-bonding WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 interactions with nearby residues, may be minimally exposed to nearby reactive residues, and/or may be in regions that are highly flexible as predicted by the three-dimensional crystal structure of a particular polypeptide with its associated receptor, ligand or binding proteins A wide variety of non-natural amino acids can be substituted for, or incorporated into, a given position in a polypeptide. By way of example, a particular non-natural amino acid may be selected for incorporation based on an examination of the three-dimensional crystal structure of a polypeptide with its associated ligand, receptor and/or binding proteins, a preference for conservative substitutions. Linkers In some aspects, the present disclosure relates to linkers for intracellular delivery of drug conjugates. Many procedures and linker molecules for attachment of various compounds to peptides are known. See, for example, European Patent Application No.0188256; U.S. Patent Nos.4,671,958, 4,659,839, 4,414,148, 4,699,784, 4,680,338, 4,569,789 and 10,550,190; PCT Application Publication Nos. WO 2012/166559 A1, WO 2012/166560 A1, WO 2013/185117 A1, WO 2013/192360 A1 and WO 2022/040596 A1; and US Patent Application Publication No. US 2017/0182181 A1; the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to phosphate-based linkers for intracellular delivery of drug conjugates (see, e.g., U.S. patent no.10,550,190). The phosphate-based linkers of the present disclosure include a monophosphate, diphosphate, triphosphate, or tetraphosphate group (phosphate group) and a linker arm and optionally a spacer. A drug-linker can be covalently linked to a reactive functional group that can be covalently linked to a cell-specific targeting ligand such as an antibody or antibody fragment. Phosphate-based linkers have a differentiated and tunable stability in blood compared to the intracellular environment (e.g. lysosomal compartment). Thus, ADCs comprising these phosphate-based linkers are stable in circulation (plasma/blood) but reactive or cleavable in intracellular compartments (lysosome) making them useful for intracellular delivery of drug conjugates. The phosphate-based linker is capable of being conjugated to a drug and the reactive functional group is capable of being conjugated to a cell-specific targeting ligand such as an anti-TROP2 antibody, an anti-HER2 antibody, an anti-CD70 antibody, an anti-HER3 antibody or an anti-PSMA antibody. The phosphate-based linkers of the present disclosure are designed to engineer ADCs such that the likelihood of the conjugate to form aggregates is reduced compared to conjugates in which the same drug is conjugated to the antibody or targeting ligand using a linker that is not a phosphate-based linker. Further, the phosphate-based linker design, WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 stability, pH, redox sensitivities and protease susceptibility influence circulatory stability and release of the drug. Methods for selecting and designing linkers are well known in the art. Linkers may be designed de novo, including by way of example only, as part of high-throughput screening process (in which case numerous polypeptides may be designed, synthesized, characterized and/or tested) or based on the interests of the researcher. The linker may also be designed based on the structure of a known or partially characterized polypeptide. The principles for selecting which amino acid(s) to substitute and/or modify and the choice of which modification to employ are described in WO2013/185117, for example. Linkers may be designed to meet the needs of the experimenter or end user. Such needs may include, but are not limited to, manipulating the therapeutic effectiveness of the polypeptide, improving the safety profile of the polypeptide, adjusting the pharmacokinetics, pharmacologics and/or pharmacodynamics of the polypeptide, such as, by way of example only, increasing water solubility, bioavailability, increasing serum half-life, increasing therapeutic half- life, modulating immunogenicity, modulating biological activity, or extending the circulation time. In addition, such modifications include, by way of example only, providing additional functionality to the polypeptide, incorporating an antibody, and any combination of the aforementioned modifications. Generally, a linker of the present disclosure can be a unit that is combinable with one or more additional units, such that the combined linker units can bond to one or more drugs. Each linker unit can be comprised of one or more moieties, each of which may occur one or more times. In some embodiments, a linker of the present disclosure comprises at least one phosphate- based moiety, as disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the linker comprises the phosphate-based moiety and further comprises at least one moiety or unit that is not phosphate-based. In some embodiments, the linker is a bivalent linker. In some embodiments, the linker is a trivalent linker. In some embodiments, the linker is a tetravalent linker. Thus, in some aspects, the present disclosure provides for phosphate-based linkers. A phosphate-based linker of the present disclosure can comprise a phosphate-based moiety, wherein the phosphate-based moiety is a phosphate ester, a pyrophosphate ester, a triphosphate ester, a tetraphosphate ester, a phosphonate, a diphosphonate, a phosporamidate, a pyrophosporamidate, a triphosphoramidate, a tetraphosphoramidate, a phosphorthioate and/or a diphosphorthioate. Thus, a phosphate-based linker of the present disclosure can comprise:

In some embodiments the present invention provides additional drug-linkers prepared using similar procedures as described herein, including the schemes disclosed in the Examples. Additional drug-linker compounds are engineered by linkage of any possible linker group known in the art or elsewhere. The drug-linker compounds are engineered by linkage of one or more phosphate-based linkers via any chemical or functional reactive positions in the drug, for example a nitrogen, halogen, boron, phosphorus, silicon, carbon or oxygen of the cytotoxic agent. Selection of the nitrogen, halogen, boron, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur, carbon or oxygen position in the drug for linkage to a phosphate-based linker is assessed as disclosed elsewhere herein, based on structure of the cytotoxic agent, and using the process known in the art or elsewhere to generate a phosphate-drug linkage. In some embodiments, drug-linkers of the invention include a phosphate-based linker attached or linked at a hydroxyl group of the cytotoxic agent or analogue thereof, such as a topoisomerase inhibitor. In other embodiments, drug-linkers of the invention include a phosphate-based linker attached or linked at a methyl or methylene group of the cytotoxic agent or analogue thereof.

In certain embodiments, the post-translational modification is made in vitro not WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 utilizing the cellular machinery. Also included with this aspect are methods for producing, purifying, characterizing and using such a drug-linker containing at least one such co-translationally or post- translationally modified non-natural amino acids. Also included within the scope of the methods, compositions, strategies and techniques described herein are reagents capable of reacting with a drug-linker (containing a carbonyl or dicarbonyl group, alkyne, cycloalkyne, azide, hydroxylamine group, or masked or protected forms thereof) that is part of a polypeptide so as to produce any of the aforementioned post-translational modifications. In certain embodiments, the resulting post-translationally modified drug-linker will contain at least one oxime group; the resulting modified oxime-containing drug-linker may undergo subsequent modification reactions. Also included with this aspect are methods for producing, purifying, characterizing and using such reagents that are capable of any such post-translational modifications of such drug-linkers. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide or non-natural amino acid linked composition includes at least one co-translational or post-translational modification that is made in vivo by one host cell, where the post-translational modification is not normally made by another host cell type. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide includes at least one co-translational or post-translational modification that is made in vivo by a eukaryotic cell, where the co-translational or post-translational modification is not normally made by a non-eukaryotic cell. Examples of such co-translational or post-translational modifications include, but are not limited to, glycosylation, acetylation, acylation, lipid-modification, palmitoylation, palmitate addition, phosphorylation, glycolipid-linkage modification, and the like. In one embodiment, the co-translational or post-translational modification comprises attachment of an oligosaccharide to an asparagine by a GlcNAc-asparagine linkage (including but not limited to, where the oligosaccharide comprises (GlcNAc-Man)2-Man-GlcNAc- GlcNAc, and the like).

In certain embodiments, a protein or polypeptide can comprise a secretion or localization sequence, an epitope tag, a FLAG tag, a polyhistidine tag, a GST fusion, and/or the like. Also included with this aspect are methods for producing, purifying, characterizing and using such polypeptides containing at least one such co-translational or post-translational modification. In other embodiments, the glycosylated non-natural amino acid polypeptide is produced in a non-glycosylated form. Such a non-glycosylated form of a glycosylated non-natural amino acid may be produced by methods that include chemical or enzymatic removal of oligosaccharide groups from an isolated or substantially purified or unpurified glycosylated non- WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 natural amino acid polypeptide; production of the non-natural amino acid in a host that does not glycosylate such a non-natural amino acid polypeptide (such a host including, prokaryotes or eukaryotes engineered or mutated to not glycosylate such a polypeptide), the introduction of a glycosylation inhibitor into the cell culture medium in which such a non-natural amino acid polypeptide is being produced by a eukaryote that normally would glycosylate such a polypeptide, or a combination of any such methods. Also described herein are such non-glycosylated forms of normally-glycosylated non-natural amino acid polypeptides (by normally-glycosylated is meant a polypeptide that would be glycosylated when produced under conditions in which naturally- occurring polypeptides are glycosylated). Of course, such non-glycosylated forms of normally- glycosylated non-natural amino acid polypeptides (or indeed any polypeptide described herein) may be in an unpurified form, a substantially purified form, or in an isolated form. In some instances, incorporation of a non-natural amino acid into the antibody or antibody fragment will be combined with other additions, substitutions, or deletions within the polypeptide to affect other chemical, physical, pharmacologic and/or biological traits. In some cases, the other additions, substitutions or deletions may increase the stability (including but not limited to, resistance to proteolytic degradation) of the polypeptide or increase affinity of the polypeptide for its appropriate receptor, ligand and/or binding proteins. In some cases, the other additions, substitutions or deletions may increase the solubility (including but not limited to, when expressed in E. coli or other host cells) of the polypeptide. In some embodiments, sites are selected for substitution with a naturally encoded or non-natural amino acid in addition to another site for incorporation of a non- natural amino acid for the purpose of increasing the polypeptide solubility following expression in E. coli, or other recombinant host cells. In some embodiments, the polypeptides comprise another addition, substitution, or deletion that modulates affinity for the associated ligand, binding proteins, and/or receptor, modulates (including but not limited to, increases or decreases) receptor dimerization, stabilizes receptor dimers, modulates circulating half-life, modulates release or bio-availability, facilitates purification, or improves or alters a particular route of administration. Similarly, the non- natural amino acid polypeptide can comprise chemical or enzyme cleavage sequences, protease cleavage sequences, reactive groups, antibody-binding domains (including but not limited to, FLAG or poly-His) or other affinity based sequences (including but not limited to, FLAG, poly-His, GST, etc.) or linked molecules (including but not limited to, biotin) that improve detection (including but not limited to, GFP), purification, transport thru tissues or cell membranes, prodrug release or activation, size reduction, or other traits of the polypeptide.

In some aspects of the disclosure, an antibody, antibody fragment, variant or drug conjugate with increased serum half-life, water solubility, bioavailability, therapeutic half-life or circulation time, or with modulated immunogenicity, or with modulated biological activity, is desired. One method of achieving such desired features of the compositions disclosed herein, is by covalent attachment of the polymer polyethylene glycol, (PEG). To maximize the desired properties of PEG, the total molecular weight and hydration state of the polymer or polymers attached to the biologically active molecule must be sufficiently high to impart the advantageous characteristics typically associated with such polymer attachment, such as increased water solubility and circulating half-life, while not adversely impacting the bioactivity of the molecule to which the PEG is attached. PEG derivatives are frequently linked to biologically active molecules through reactive chemical WSGR Ref. No: 31362-826.601 functionalities, such as amino acid residues, the N-terminus, and/or carbohydrate moieties. In some aspects of the present invention, PEG derivatives are linked to biologically active molecules through reactive chemical functionalities to improve biophysical properties of the resulting ADC.

WO99/67291 discloses a process for conjugating a protein with PEG, wherein at least one amino acid residue on the protein is substituted with a synthetic amino acid and the protein is contacted with PEG under conditions sufficient to achieve conjugation to the protein. Proteins and other molecules often have a limited number of reactive sites available for polymer attachment. The sites most suitable for modification via polymer attachment may play a significant role in receptor binding, and such sites may be necessary for retention of the biological activity of the molecule therefore making them inappropriate for polymer attachment. As a result, indiscriminate attachment of polymer chains to such reactive sites on a biologically active molecule often leads to a significant reduction or even total loss of biological activity of the polymer-modified molecule, PEG attachment can be directed to a particular position within a protein such that the PEG moiety does not interfere with the function of that protein. One method of directing PEG attachment is to introduce a synthetic amino acid into the protein sequence. The protein biosynthetic machinery of the prokaryote Escherichia coli (E. coli) can be altered in order to incorporate synthetic amino acids efficiently and with high fidelity into proteins in response to the amber codon, UAG.

A similar method can be accomplished with the eukaryote, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) (e.g., J. Chin et al., Science 301: 964- 7, 2003). Using this method, a non-natural amino acid can be incorporated into an antibody, variant or drug conjugate of the present disclosure, providing an attachment site for PEG.

Example 6: Molecular Cloning for expression of anti-HER3 and anti-TROP2 antibodies Molecular cloning for expression of exemplary anti-HER3 antibodies and anti-TROP2 antibodies is described below. This protocol is applicable to anti-CD70 antibodies, anti-HER2 antibodies, and anti-PSMA antibodies. Molecular Cloning for Antibody Expression - CHO cell codon-optimized antibody heavy chain and light chain cDNA sequences were obtained from a commercial DNA synthesis service (Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), San Diego, CA). The synthesized DNA fragments were digested with Hind III and EcoR I (both from New England BioLabs, (NEB), Ipswich, MA) and purified using a PCR purification kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Then the digested antibody gene fragments were ligated into the expression vector via a quick ligation kit (NEB) to yield the constructs for expression of wild type antibody heavy chain and light chain. The resulting plasmids were propagated in E. coli and verified by a DNA sequencing service (Eton Biosciences, San Diego, CA). Generation of amber codon-containing mutants - Based on the crystal structure of anti-HER2 Fab, ten different surface-accessible sites located at light chain constant region were chosen to genetically incorporate non-natural amino acid (e.g., pAF). Those sites are not critical for antigen- antibody binding. Each genetic codon of the chosen site was then mutated to amber codon (TAG) via site-directed mutagenesis to generate expression plasmid for that antibody mutant. Primers were purchased from IDT. All site directed mutagenesis experiments were carried out using Q5 site- directed mutagenesis kit following instruction manuals (NEB). The expression plasmids for the mutants were propagated in E. coli and verified by DNA sequencing service (Eton Biosciences). The non-natural amino acid is site specifically incorporated at any one of positions A121 (A114) in the heavy chain and in any one of the positions V110, A112, S114, S121, S127, K149, S156, S168, S202 and V205 in the light chain (position are according to Kabat numbering, as well known to the skilled artisan), Table 10.
