EXTRACELLULAR VESICLE-DIRECTED POLYPEPTIDE TAG

The present invention is based on the surprising finding that Wnt7a, and other Wnt family members, are trafficked to extracellular vesicles (EVs) via interactions with coatomer proteins. Extracellular vesicle signal peptides (ESPs), each comprising at least one key Coatomer binding motif (CBM), are described, and these mediate EV trafficking of Wnt family members. The ESPs may be used to target other proteins for display on EVs. Herein is described an EV comprising: COPI, and a recombinant EV-directed polypeptide comprising: a cargo polypeptide, and an ESP comprising a CBM, wherein the cargo polypeptide is tethered to an external surface of the EV via the coatomer binding motif. Also described are recombinant EV-directed polypeptides comprising an ESP and a cargo. Additionally described are recombinant skeletal muscle-targeted EVs comprising a payload polypeptide; and recombinant Wnts having mutated CBM or ESPs, which are less trafficked to EVs for production/recovery of free Wnts..
