Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of structural biology. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel fusion proteins, their uses and methods in three-dimensional structural analysis of macromolecules, such as X-ray crystallography and high-resolution Cryo-EM, and their use in structure-based drug design and screening. Even more specifically, the invention relates to a functional fusion protein of a cytokine and a scaffold protein wherein the scaffold is a folded protein that interrupts the topology of the cytokine to form a rigid fusion protein that retains its receptor binding and activation capacity. More specifically, chemokine- and interleukin-based functional fusion proteins, and their production and uses, are disclosed herein
