BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Enzymes conjugated or fused to a targeting moiety have many diagnostic and therapeutic uses. For example, most homogeneous drug detection immunoassays utilize an enzyme conjugated to a drag metabolite. See, e.g., Rubinstein, et al, Biochem. Biophys, Res. Commun. 47:846 (1972). More recently, Legendre, et al. describe an updated version ofthe homogenous immunoassay. Legendre et al, Nat. Biotechnol. 17:67 (1999). In the therapeutic arena, antibody-enzyme conjugates have been studied and described. However, from these studies, several deficiencies have become apparent. Some of these deficiencies include: slow diffusion into tumors, slow clearance from circulation; non-specific binding to other tissues; elicitation of an immune response; difficulties in production, conjugation or expression; and the required coupling between targeting and catalytic function. One type of approach that has been used is antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT). ADEPT and similar procedures are multistep methods designed to increase the selectivity of antitumor agents. See, e.g., Philpott et al, J Immunol 111 :921 (1973), Bagshawe et al, Curr Opin Immunol 11 :579 (1999), Niculescu-Duvaz et al, Anticancer DrugDes 14:517 (1999), Cbsή Adv Drug Deliv Rev 31:89 (1998), Syrigos & Epenetos Anticancer Res 19:605 (1999), Sherwood, Advanced Drug Del. Rev. 22:269 (1996) and Niculescu-Duvaz & Springer, Advanced Drug Del. Rev. 26:151 (1997). hnmunogenicity of the antibody-enzyme conjugate, however, is a key limitation of existing ADEPT approaches. Another limitation of existing ADEPT methods is the long half-live ofthe antibody- enzyme conjugate in the circulation. In general, antibodies have long half-lives in the circulation and this property is conferred to the antibody-enzyme conjugates. The antibody- enzyme conjugate must be removed from non-tumor sites ofthe body before the prodrug can be administered to prevent drug activation in other tissues. Currently, the preferred method to remove excess antibody-enzyme conjugate is the administration of a second antibody which is typically directed against the enzyme portion ofthe antibody-enzyme conjugate. See Kerr et al, Bioconjug Chem 4:353 (1993). In response to the shortcomings of ADEPT, other strategies for specifically activating a prodrug at a target site in a subject have been developed. In gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT), the gene that encodes the prodrug activating enzyme is delivered to the tumor. For a recent review, see Niculescu-Duvaz et al, Anticancer Drug Des 14:517 (1999). However, the utility of GDEPT is severely limited by the requirement that a safe and effective method be developed of introducing the required gene into the tumor to be treated. In another approach, antitumor agents are terminally coupled to a targeting agent. For reviews of this technology, see Torchilin, Eur JPharm Sci 11 Suppl 2:S81 (2000), and Frankel et al, Clin Cancer Res 6:326 (2000). These approaches suffer from some ofthe same shortcomings as ADEPT. In particular, these therapeutics can be immunogenic, and the combined size ofthe targeting moiety, the enzyme and the linker (if one is used) can cause them to have a prohibitively long half-life in the circulation ofthe subject. Thus, there remains in the art a need for targeted enzymes that are relatively easy to create, bind with high affinity to a target, exhibit catalytic activity when bound to the target, and when utilized in a subject, have the physicochemical properties of rapid diffusion, low immunogenicity and rapid clearance. This invention meets these and other needs.

In an eighty-first aspect, the invention provides a method of ameliorating a symptom of a disease in a subject in need of symptom amelioration, comprising a) administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of a targeted enzyme for a time sufficient to allow the targeted enzyme to bind a target; and b) administering an amount of a prodrug to said subject such that a sufficient amount of said prodrug is converted to an active drag that a symptom ofthe disease is ameliorated.

The compositions and methods ofthe present invention offer several advantages over previously available compositions and methods. The targeted enzymes ofthe invention are smaller than similar enzymes conjugated or fused to an antibody or antibody fragment, thus, when administered to a subject, targeted enzymes not bound to their targets are more quickly and more completely cleared from the subject's system, allowing safer and more efficacious administration of an appropriate prodrug. Their reduced size also makes them less immunogenic, and allows them greater access to their target sites. The methods ofthe present invention for making targeted enzymes are superior to previously known methods because, in one aspect, they allow for selection of binding of a variant sequence in an enzyme to a target in the context of the enzyme, rather than requiring a pre-selection of peptides that bind to the target either as isolated peptides or as part of larger proteins or polypeptides.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. All references are incorporated by reference for all purposes. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing ofthe present invention, the preferred methods and materials are described. For purposes ofthe present invention, the following terms are defined below. All single-stranded nucleic acid sequences are written from 5' to 3', unless otherwise indicated. The top strand of each double-stranded nucleic acid sequence is written from 5' to 3' and the bottom strand from 3' to 5', unless otherwise indicated. All peptide sequences are written N-terminus to C-terminus, unless otherwise indicated. Standard one-letter amino acid and nucleic acid abbreviations are used throughout, unless otherwise indicated. In an amino acid sequence, "X" indicates a position that can be occupied by any amino acid residue, preferably a naturally-occurring amino acid residue. The term "targeted enzyme" refers to an enzyme exhibiting catalytic activity that comprises a substrate recognition site and has been modified from a pre-targeted enzyme to comprise one or more targeting sites, each targeting site comprising one or more variant sequences, and to bind to a target with higher affinity than the corresponding pre-targeted enzyme binds the target under like conditions. Targeted enzymes ofthe invention include modified enzymes that bind to a target that the corresponding pre-targeted enzyme does not bind to under like conditions. Targeted enzymes ofthe invention also include modified enzymes that bind to a target with about 10-fold, 10 2 -fold, lO^fold, 10 4 -fold, 10 s -fold or higher affinity than the corresponding pre-targeted enzyme under like conditions. Targeted enzymes ofthe invention do not include enzymes with a targeting site that consists of a polypeptide or other target-binding molecule that is attached to the N- or C-terminus ofthe pre-targeted enzyme (e.g., as in a histidine tagged protein or a fusion protein), a targeted enzyme whose only target is a monoclonal antibody, or a targeted enzyme made by increasing or optimizing the binding of a pre-targeted enzyme to a substrate of a reaction catalyzed by the pre-targeted enzyme. However, a targeted enzyme ofthe invention can be further modified to include a polypeptide or other targeting molecule that is attached to the N- or C- terminus. A targeted enzyme can also be further modified to change or optimize binding to a substrate of a reaction catalyzed by the targeted enzyme. The term "pre-targeted enzyme" refers to a protein having a catalytic activity and comprising a substrate recognition site and a variation-tolerant sequence. The protein can be, e.g., a naturally-occurring, modified, artificial, chimeric or fusion protein. The term "target" refers to any entity a protein can be made to bind. The term "targeting site" refers to a portion of a targeted enzyme that binds a target. A targeting site comprises one or more variant sequences. It does not consist entirely of a protein binding domain copied from another protein and introduced into the targeted enzyme, does not consist entirely of a variant sequence in a protein-binding domain ofthe pre-targeted enzyme, and does not consist entirely of a substrate recognition site. The term "variant sequence" refers to one or more contiguous amino acid residues derived from, but not identical to, a variation-tolerant sequence of a pre-targeted enzyme. A variant sequence is derived from a variation-tolerant sequence in that the variant sequence differs from its corresponding variation-tolerant sequence by the insertion, deletion, substitution or replacement of one or more amino acid residues ofthe variation-tolerant sequence. Thus, a variant sequence has 0% or more, but less than 100%, sequence identity to the coπesponding variation-tolerant sequence, and can be shorter, the same length, or longer than the variation-tolerant sequence. The term "variation-tolerant sequence" refers to one or more contiguous amino acid residues in an enzyme that can be modified to a different sequence without inactivating the catalytic activity ofthe enzyme. A variation-tolerant sequence can be, for example, one or more amino acid residues that can be replaced by one or more different amino acid residues, or two amino acid residues that can be separated by the insertion of one or more amino acid residues. The term "substrate recognition site" refers to the amino acid residues of an enzyme that contact a substrate of a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme. The term "protein binding domain" refers to the amino acid residues of a protein that contact one or more amino acid residues of a second protein wherein said protein binding domain is not a substrate recognition site. A "repertoire of variant sequences" is a plurality of variant sequences each of which can be used to modify the same variant sequence of a pre-targeted enzyme. A "recombinant library" is a plurality of proteins that are derived from the same pre- targeted enzyme. The members of a recombinant library share the same constant segments but they contain different combinations of variant sequences. Unless otherwise noted, the term "protein" is used interchangeably here with the terms "peptide" and "polypeptide," and refers to a molecule comprising two or more amino acid residues joined by a peptide bond. The terms "cell", "cell line", and "cell culture" can be used interchangeably and all such designations include progeny. Thus, the words "transformants" or "transformed cells" include the primary transformed cell and cultures derived from that cell without regard to the number of transfers. All progeny may not be precisely identical in DNA content, due to deliberate or inadvertent mutations. Mutant progeny that have the same functionality as screened for in the originally transformed cell are included in the definition of transformants. The cells can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic. The term "control sequences" refers to DNA sequences necessary for the expression of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism. The control sequences that are suitable for procaryotes, for example, include a promoter, optionally an operator sequence, a ribosome binding site, positive retroregulatory elements (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,666,848, incorporated herein by reference), and possibly other sequences. Eucaryotic cells are known to utilize promoters, polyadenylation signals, and enhancers. The term "expression clone" refers to DNA sequences containing a desired coding sequence and control sequences in operable linkage, so that hosts transformed with these sequences are capable of producing the encoded proteins. The term "expression system" refers to a host transformed with an expression clone. To effect transformation, the expression clone may be included on a vector; however, the relevant DNA may also be integrated into the host chromosome. The term "gene" refers to a DNA sequence that comprises control and coding sequences necessary for the production of a protein, polypeptide or precursor. The term "operably linked" refers to the positioning ofthe coding sequence such that control sequences will function to drive expression ofthe protein encoded by the coding sequence. Thus, a coding sequence "operably linked" to control sequences refers to a configuration wherein the coding sequences can be expressed under the direction of a control sequence. The term "oligonucleotide" as used herein is defined as a molecule comprised of two or more deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides. The exact size will depend on many factors, which in turn depends on the ultimate function or use ofthe oligonucleotide. Oligonucleotides can be prepared by any suitable method, including, for example, cloning and restriction of appropriate sequences and direct chemical synthesis by a method such as the phosphotriester method of Narang et al., 1979, Meth. Enzymol. 68:90-99; the phosphodiester method of Brown et al., 1979, Meth. Enzymol. 68:109-151; the diethylphosphoramidite method of Beaucage et al., 1981, Tetrahedron Lett. 22:1859-1862; and the solid support method of U.S. Pat. No. 4,458,066, each incorporated herein by reference. A review of synthesis methods is provided in Goodchild, 1990, Bioconjugate Chemistry 1(3): 165- 187, incorporated herein by reference. The term "primer" as used herein refers to an oligonucleotide which is capable of acting as a point of initiation of synthesis when placed under conditions in which primer extension is initiated. Synthesis of a primer extension product that is complementary to a nucleic acid strand is initiated in the presence ofthe requisite four different nucleoside triphosphates and a DNA polymerase in an appropriate buffer at a suitable temperature. A "buffer" includes cofactors (such as divalent metal ions) and salt (to provide the appropriate ionic strength), adjusted to the desired pH. A primer that hybridizes to the non-coding strand of a gene sequence (equivalently, is a subsequence ofthe coding strand) is referred to herein as an "upstream" or "forward" primer. A primer that hybridizes to the coding strand of a gene sequence is referred to herein as an "downstream" or "reverse" primer. The terms "restriction endonucleases" and "restriction enzymes" refer to enzymes, typically bacterial in origin, which cut double-stranded DNA at or near a specific nucleotide sequence. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan, cysteine, glycine), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Standard three-letter or one-letter amino acid abbreviations are used herein. As used herein, a "point mutation" in an amino acid sequence refers to either a single amino acid substitution, a single amino acid insertion or single amino acid deletion. A point mutation preferably is introduced into an amino acid sequence by a suitable codon change in the encoding DNA. Individual amino acids in a sequence are represented herein as AN, wherein A is the standard one letter symbol for the amino acid in the sequence, and N is the position in the sequence. Mutations within an amino acid sequence are represented herein as Aj NA 2 , wherein A, is the standard one letter symbol for the amino acid in the unmutated protein sequence, A 2 is the standard one letter symbol for the amino acid in the mutated protein sequence, and N is the position in the amino acid sequence. For example, a G46D mutation represents a change from glycine to aspartic acid at amino acid position 46. The amino acid positions are numbered based on the full-length sequence ofthe protein from which the region encompassing the mutation is derived. Representations of nucleotides and point mutations in DNA sequences are analogous. As used herein, a "chimeric" protein refers to a protein whose amino acid sequence represents a fusion product of subsequences ofthe amino acid sequences from at least two distinct proteins. A chimeric protein preferably is not produced by direct manipulation of amino acid sequences, but, rather, is expressed from a "chimeric" gene that encodes the chimeric amino acid sequence. The term "host immune response" refers to a response of a host organism's immune system to contact with an immunogenic substance. Specific aspects of a host immune response can include, e.g., increased antibody production, T cell activation, monocyte activation or granulocyte activation. Each of these aspects can be detected and or measured using standard in vivo or in vitro methods. The term "Ab" or "antibody" refers to polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, an entire immunoglobulin or antibody or any functional fragment of an immunoglobulin molecule that binds to the target antigen. Examples of such functional entities include complete antibody molecules, antibody fragments, such as Fv, single chain Fv, complementarity determining regions (CDRs), V L (light chain variable region), V H (heavy chain variable region), and any combination of those or any other functional portion of an immunoglobulin peptide capable of binding to target antigen. The terms "dox" and "doxorubicin" refer to the drug commonly known by that name and any derivative thereof. Derivatives may be made for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to, conjugating to a linker or pro-part of a prodrug, increased efficacy, increased binding, decreased toxicity, etc. The CAS Registry Number for Doxorubicin is 25316409. The molecular formula is C 27 H 29 NO u -HCl and its molecular weight is 580 Daltons. The term "PEG" and polyethylene glycol" refer to the compounds commonly known by the name and comprising the general chemical formula (C 2 H 4 O) n -H 2 O. The CAS Number for PEG is 25322-68-3. As is well known in the art, PEG is typically provided in mixtures of differing molecular weights. For example, PEG-8000 is a mixture of polyethylene glycols that have an average molecular weight of 8,000 Daltons. The term "prodrug" refers to a compound that is converted via one or more enzymatically catalyzed steps into an active compound that has an increased pharmacological activity relative to the prodrug. A prodrug can comprise a pro-part or inactive moiety and a drag or active drug. Optionally, the prodrug also contains a linker. For example, the prodrug can be cleaved by an enzyme to release an active drug. In a more specific example, prodrug cleavage by the targeted enzyme releases the active drug into the vicinity ofthe target bound to the targeted enzyme. "Pro-part" and "inactive moiety" refer to the inactive portion ofthe prodrug after it has been converted. For example, if a prodrug comprises PEG molecule linked by a peptide to an active drag, the pro-part is the PEG moiety with or without a portion ofthe peptide linker. "Linker" refers to the means connecting the pro-part of a prodrug to the active drug of a prodrug. Typically, but not essentially, the linker is a peptide cleavable by the targeted enzyme, however, it can be any moiety that joins the drag to the propart. The term "drug" and "active drug" refer to the active moieties of a prodrug. After cleavage by a targeted enzyme, the active drag acts therapeutically upon the targeted tumor, cell, infectious agent or other agent of disease. In another example, the prodrug is chemically modified by the activating enzyme, for example, by oxidation, reduction, phosphorylation, dephosphorylation, the addition of a moiety, or the like. In another example, the prodrug is converted into an intermediate compound by the enzyme. The intermediate compound is converted to the active compound either spontaneously, through contact with other proteins or molecules in the subject, through contact with one or more enzymes native to the subject, or through contact with one or more additional activating enzymes administered to the subject. The term "Serum albumin" refers to the commonly known blood protein ofthe same name. "BSA" refers to bovine serum albumin and "HSA" refers to human serum albumin. The term "Substrate-assisted catalysis" and "SAC" refers to a process wherein enzymes are modified so that they have a catalytic preference for substrates that provide the modified catalytic group or its equivalent such that the substrate together with the enzyme mutant assists in its own catalysis. The term "SAC targeted enzyme" refers an enzyme used in SAC that has been further modified to target a cell, tumor, infectious agent or other agent that produces a disease. The term "SAC prodrug" refers to a prodrug in which a portion thereof, typically the linker, is a substrate used in SAC. The term "constant segment" refers to a part ofthe sequence ofthe pre-targeted enzyme that shares high homology (> 80% homology) among all members ofthe recombinant library. The term "% sequence homology" is used interchangeably herein with the terms "% homology," "% sequence identity" and "% identity" and refers to the level of a ino acid sequence identity between two or more peptide sequences, when aligned using a sequence alignment program. For example, as used herein, 80% homology means the same thing as 80% sequence identity determined by a defined algorithm, and accordingly a homologue of a given sequence has greater than 80% sequence identity over a length ofthe given sequence. Exemplary levels of sequence identity include, but are not limited to, 60, 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 98% or more sequence identity to a given sequence Exemplary computer programs which can be used to determine identity between two sequences include, but are not limited to, the suite of BLAST programs, e.g., BLASTN, BLASTX, and TBLASTX, BLASTP and TBLASTN, publicly available on the Internet at http;tt w .ncbi.nlm.nih.eov/BLAST/". See also Altschul et al, 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-10 (with special reference to the published default setting, i.e., parameters w=4, t=17) and Altschul et al, 1997, Nucleic Acids Res., 25:3389-3402. Sequence searches are typically carried out using the BLASTP program when evaluating a given amino acid sequence relative to amino acid sequences in the GenBank Protein Sequences and other public databases. The BLASTX program is prefeπed for searching nucleic acid sequences that have been translated in all reading frames against amino acid sequences in the GenBank Protein Sequences and other public databases. Both BLASTP and BLASTX are run using default parameters of an open gap penalty of 11.0, and an extended gap penalty of 1.0, and utilize the BLOSUM-62 matrix. See Altschul, et al, 1997. A preferred alignment of selected sequences in order to determine "% identity" between two or more sequences, is performed using for example, the CLUSTAL-W program in MacNector version 6.5, operated with default parameters, including an open gap penalty of 10.0, an extended gap penalty of 0.1 , and a BLOSUM 30 similarity matrix. "Hit density" is the fraction of useful clones in the library. "Hapaxomer" is a restriction endonuclease that generates unique ends. See Berger, S. L. Anal Biochem 222: 1 (1994). TARGETED ENZYMES The targeted enzymes ofthe invention are enzymes exhibiting catalytic activity that comprise a substrate recognition site and have been modified from a pre-targeted enzyme to comprise one or more targeting sites, each targeting site comprising one or more variant sequences, and to bind to a target with higher affinity than the corresponding pre-targeted enzyme binds the target under like conditions. In one embodiment, the targeted enzyme of the invention differ from the corresponding pre-targeted enzyme only at the location ofthe variation-tolerant sequence or sequences ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. Targeted enzymes of the invention include modified enzymes that bind to a target that the corresponding pre-targeted enzyme does not bind to under like conditions. For example, the present invention provides a targeted β-lactamase enzyme that binds to streptavidin under conditions where the corresponding pre-targeted β-lactamase does not bind to streptavidin. Targeted enzymes ofthe invention also include modified enzymes that bind to a target with about 10-fold, 10 2 -fold, 10 3 -fold, 10 4 -fold, 10 5 -fold or higher affinity than the corresponding pre-targeted enzyme under like conditions. Targeted enzymes ofthe invention do not include enzymes with only one targeting site that consists of a polypeptide or other target-binding molecule that is attached to the N- or C-terminus ofthe pre-targeted enzyme e.g., as in a histidine tagged protein or a fusion protein), a targeted enzyme whose only target is a monoclonal antibody, or a targeted enzyme made by increasing or optimizing the binding of a pre-targeted enzyme to a substrate of a reaction catalyzed by the pre-targeted enzyme. However, a targeted enzyme ofthe invention can be further modified to include a polypeptide or other targeting molecule that is attached to the N- or C-terminus. A targeted enzyme can also be further modified to change or optimize binding to a substrate of a reaction catalyzed by the targeted enzyme. The targeted enzymes ofthe invention comprise one or more targeting sites, e.g., two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more targeting sites, each of which comprises one or more variant sequences, e.g., two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more variant sequences. The presence ofthe targeting site or sites in the targeted enzyme allows the targeted enzyme to binds to a target with higher affinity than the corresponding pre- targeted enzyme binds the target under like conditions. The targeted enzyme can, for example, bind to target with a K j of about 100 nM or less, about 90 nM or less, about 80 nM or less, about 70 nM or less, about 60 nM or less, about 50 nM or less, about 40 nM or less, about 30 nM or less, about 20 nM or less, about 10 nM or less, about 5 nM or less or about 1 nM or less. In a more preferred embodiment, each ofthe variant sequences is separated from its neighboring variant sequences by one or more constant segments in the primary sequence of the enzyme, but is close to each ofthe other variant sequences in the folded protein. This arrangement simplifies recombination as one can introduce recombination sites into the constant segments. Furthermore, such an aπangement reduces the chance of direct interaction between the different variable segments. Variation-tolerant sequences can be, for example, single amino acids, or can sequences that are less than about 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 or 5 amino acid residues in length. A variation tolerant sequence may be a loop ofthe folded protein, e.g., a solvent accessible loop. Variant sequences can be, for example, between zero and about 50 amino acid residues. In a prefeπed embodiment, a variant sequence ranges from about zero to about 20, zero to about 14, zero to ten, or three to 20 amino acid residues in length. "Zero" amino acid residues refers to a situation where a variation-tolerant sequence has been deleted. The targeting site ofthe targeted enzyme does not consist solely ofthe substrate recognition site ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. Preferably, the targeting site does not overlap with a catalytic site in the tertiary structure ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. As such, in one embodiment, the targeting site is at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 angstroms from the pre-targeted enzyme's catalytic site. A discussed above, the targeted enzymes ofthe invention exhibit catalytic activity. Generally, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme corresponds to the catalytic activity of the corresponding pre-targeted enzyme. As such, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is qualitatively that ofthe coπesponding pre-targeted enzyme. Once a targeted enzyme is generated, however, its catalytic activity can be further modified (e.g., optimized or changed). Any enzyme can serve as the pre-targeted enzyme for purposes ofthe present invention. In one embodiment, a corresponding pre-targeted enzyme is selected that has a catalytic activity that one desires to have in a targeted enzyme. In a prefeπed embodiment, a pre-targeted enzyme is selected that converts a substrate into a desired product. In a more preferred embodiment, the substrate lacks a property that the product possesses. In a still more preferred embodiment the property is a chemical or physical property. In another more prefeπed embodiment, the substrate does not cause an effect in a subject that the product causes. In a still more prefeπed embodiment, the substrate is a nutrient of a diseased cell, tissue or organ. In a still more prefeπed embodiment, the effect is a physiological effect. In a still more preferred embodiment, the physiological effect is death of a cell. In a most prefeπed embodiment, the substrate is a prodrug and the product is an active drug. In one embodiment, the targeted enzymes are used for therapeutic administration, e.g., as part of targeted enzyme prodrug therapy applications. It is known that macromolecules with molecular weights below about 45,000 Daltons are rapidly cleared from the circulation by glomerular filtration ofthe kidney. See also Greenwald et al, Crit Rev Ther Drug Carrier Syst 17:101 (2000). In one aspect, therefore, the present invention provides a targeted enzyme that has a molecular weight that allows its removal from the circulation of a mammalian host via glomerular filtration. It is noted that in addition to having a shorter half- life in the circulation, smaller targeted enzymes diffuse more quickly than antibody-enzyme conjugates into certain types of targets, e.g., a tumor mass. For in vivo applications, targeted enzymes are also prefeπed that have a relatively small size, preferably smaller than about 45kD, have a high specific activity, are highly active under physiological relevant conditions (e.g., between about 25-40°C and pH about 5.5 to about 7.5), and that are subject to minimal interference in the treated subject from inhibitors, enzyme substrates, or endogenous enzyme systems. In other aspects, the targeted enzyme has a molecular weight greater than 5 kD but less than 10 kD, 15 kD, 20 kD, 25 kD, 30 kD, 35 kD, 40 kD, 45 kD, 50 kD, 55 kD or 60 kD, 75 kD, lOOkD, 150 kD, 200 kD, 250 kD, 300 kD, 350 kD, 400 kD, 450 kD or 500 kD. For some embodiments, enzymes are prefeπed that are highly active in diseased cells with altered physiological states, for example, in cancer cells with lowered pH. Of particular interest are enzymes that can be used to activate a prodrug in a therapeutic setting. A large number of enzymes with different catalytic modes of action have been used to activate prodrags. See, e.g., Melton & Knox Enzvme-prodrug strategies for cancer therapy (1999) and Bagshawe et al, Curr Opin Immunol 11 :579 (1999). These enzymes can be modified utilizing, for example, the methods ofthe present invention to incorporate targeting capabihty into the protein while retaining the ability of these enzymes to activate a prodrug. In another embodiment, enzymes that generate a toxic agent from a metabolite are modified to include a targeting site. While not a targeted enzyme as the term is utilized herein, Christofidou- Solomidou et al, Am JPhysiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 278:L794 (2000), for example, describes the use of glucose oxidase, which generates hydrogen peroxide from glucose, as an immuno-targeted enzyme. Examples of types of pre-targeted enzyme that can be used to make the targeted enzymes ofthe present invention include, but are not limited to, proteases, carboxypeptidases, β-lactamases, asparaginases, oxidases, hydrolases, Iyases, lipases, cellulases, amylases, aldolases, phospatases, kinases, tranferases, polymerases, nucleases, nucleotidases, laccases, reductases, and the like. See, e.g., co-pending U.S. Pat. App. Ser. No. 09/954,385, filed September 12, 2001, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. As such, targeted enzymes ofthe invention can, for example, exhibit protease, carboxypeptidase, β-lactamase, asparaginase, oxidase, hydrolase, lyase, lipase, cellulase, amylase, aldolase, phospatase, kinase, tranferase, polymerase, nuclease, nucleotidase, laccase or reductase activity, or the like. Prefeπed examples of enzymes that can be used are those that can activate a prodrug, discussed below. Examples of specific pre-targeted enzymes that can be used to make the targeted enzymes ofthe present invention include, but are not limited to, Class A, B, C, or D β- lactamase, β-galactosidase, see Benito et al, FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 123:107 (1994), fibronectin, glucose oxidate, glutathione S-transferase, see Napolitano et al, Chem. Biol 3:359 (1996) and tissue plasminogen activator, see Smith et al, J. Biol.

In a more prefeπed embodiment, the targeted enzyme is not capable of catalyzing redox reactions wherein the electron donor is a phenolic compound and the electron acceptor is molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. In a preferred embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is not significantly different from the catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. That is, the variant sequence or sequences does not significantly increase or decrease the catalytic activity ofthe enzyme. In another prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is between about 1% and about 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. It is contemplated that the variant sequence or sequences can, in fact, result in a targeted enzyme that exhibits greater than 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme, for example, up to about 125%, 150%, 175%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 400% or 500%. In a more preferred embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is between about 10% and about 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is between about 20% and about 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is between about 30% and about 100% ofthe catalytic activity of the pre-targeted enzyme. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is between about 40% and about 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is between about 50% and about 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe pre- targeted enzyme. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is between about 60% and about 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. In a more preferred embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is between about 70% and about 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is between about 80% and about 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is between about 90% and about 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. In another preferred embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme is not significantly affected by the binding ofthe target. That is, the targeted enzyme bound to the target has about the same catalytic activity as the targeted enzyme that is not bound to the target. In another preferred embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 10% and about 500% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 20% and about 450% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 30% and about 400% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 40% and about 350% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 50% and about 300% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 60% and about 250% of the catalytic activity of the targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 70% and about 200% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme not bound 4o the target. In a more preferred embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 80% and about 150% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 90% and about 125% ofthe catalytic activity of the targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In a more preferred embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 95% and about 110% of the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the catalytic activity of the targeted enzyme bound to the target is between about 60% and about 165% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In a more preferred embodiment, the catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme bound to the target is about 100% ofthe catalytic activity ofthe targeted enzyme not bound to the target. In another aspect the present invention provides a targeted enzyme that, while bound to a target, exhibits a catalytic activity of greater than about, e.g. , 1 %, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 500%, 750%, 1,000%, 1,500%, 2,000%, 2,500% or 5,000% relative to the catalytic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. PRE-TARGETED ENZYMES The pre-targeted enzyme used to make the targeted enzyme can be any enzyme, fragment of an enzyme, or derivative of an enzyme that has a catalytic activity and one or more variation-tolerant sequences and that does not, under like conditions, specifically bind a target that is bound by the targeted enzyme. Methods of identifying variation-tolerant sequences in an enzyme are taught below. The pre-targeted enzyme can have, e.g., more than one activity. For example, the pre-targeted enzyme can have more than one catalytic activity, or one or more catalytic activities and one or more binding activities. In a prefeπed embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is a naturally-occurring enzyme. In another prefeπed embodiment, it is a mutated or otherwise genetically engineered protein. In another preferred embodiment, it is a chimeric or fusion protein. In another preferred embodiment, it is an artificially created enzyme. In one embodiment, a pre-targeted enzyme is selected that has been modified or evolved to become more or less active in response to a stimulus, which then can be used to affect the activity of a targeted enzyme derived from it. In a prefeπed embodiment, the stimulus is one that can be controlled, allowing the activity ofthe enzyme to be controlled. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the stimulus is pH. Many solid tumors have reduced internal pH compared to healthy tissue and this difference could be exploited to activate a targeted enzyme derived from the pre-targeted enzyme selectively at the tumor site. In another particularly preferred embodiment, the enzyme is activated by elevated or reduced temperature. Such temperature differences between various tissues can occur naturally or they can be induced, for instance, with microwaves. Temperature and pH serve as mere examples stimuli that can be used to selectively activate a pre-targeted enzyme. Source of pre-targeted enzyme In one embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is derived from a natural source of an enzyme, including, but not limited to, bacteria, archaea, plants, fungi or animals. In a prefeπed embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is an enzyme from a species that the targeted enzyme will be used in. In another prefeπed embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is a mammalian enzyme or a catalytically active fragment of a mammalian enzyme. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is a primate enzyme or a catalytically active fragment of a primate enzyme. In a most prefeπed embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is a human enzyme or a catalytically active fragment of a human enzyme. In another most prefeπed embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is a human enzyme or catalytically active fragment of a human enzyme that has been genetically engineered or modified. In another most preferred embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is a fusion or chimeric protein comprising all or a portion of a human enzyme. In one embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is not a laccase. For example, in one embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is not a bilirubin oxidase, a phenol oxidase, a catechol oxidase or an enzyme capable of catalyzing redox reactions wherein the electron donor is a phenolic compound and the electron acceptor is molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. A significant hurdle to existing chronic ADEPT protocols is that antibody-enzyme conjugates elicit an immune response in the subject. Such a response precludes repeated treatment because, paradoxically, the immune system clears the antibody-enzyme conjugates from the circulation before the conjugates can reach their targets. Recently, significant progress has been made in generating human or humanized antibodies. However, this does not overcome the problem of immunogenicity ofthe enzyme attached to the antibody in the antibody-enzyme conjugate. The use of a human enzyme as a pre-targeted enzyme to develop a targeted enzyme for treating a human subject greatly reduces the risk of an immune response to the targeted enzyme. However, the use of human enzymes generates its own problems. Specifically, prodrags that are activated by native human enzymes could not generally be administered systemically as the activation ofthe prodrag would occur throughout the circulation and the desired targeted activation would not take place. Thus, if systemic administration of prodrags is desired, prodrugs which cannot be, or which are slowly, activated by native human enzymes should be used. In a prefeπed embodiment the prodrug is designed so that it is not activated or is slowly activated by the native human enzyme, yet possesses favorable pharmacological properties, e.g., tissue distribution, half-life or toxicity. In a particularly preferred embodiment, a human pre-targeted enzyme is modified to selectively activate the prodrug. This modification can be accomplished using a combination of structure-based engineering, directed evolution, and chemical modification. As will be appreciated by one of skill in the art, the modification should be done in a way that minimizes the risk of introducing novel immunological epitopes into the targeted enzyme. There are methods available to test the modified enzyme for the presence of epitopes, which enables one to choose modifications that avoid the introduction of epitopes yet lead to the desired catalytic properties ofthe enzyme. For example, see U.S. Patent 5,750,356, WO 99/53038, WO 98/5296 and WO 99/61916, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. In another preferred embodiment, a targeted enzyme for use in a human subject is derived from a pre-targeted enzyme from a non-human source. In a prefeπed embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is not immunogenic in a human subject. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is "humanized" so that it does not elicit an immune response in a human subject. As described in more detail below, in one aspect the present invention provides a method of treating a subject comprising administering a targeted enzyme and a prodrug that is a substrate ofthe targeted enzyme to a subject. Pre-targeted enzymes that are useful in this aspect ofthe invention include, but are not limited to alkaline phosphatase useful for converting phosphate-containing prodrugs into free drugs, arylsulfatase useful for converting sulfate-containing prodrugs into free drugs, cytosine deaminase useful for converting non- toxic 5-fluorocytosine into the anti-cancer drug, 5-fluorouracil, proteases, such as serine proteases, thermolysins, subtilisins, carboxypeptidases and cathepsins (such as cathepsins B and L), that are useful for converting peptide-containing prodrugs into free drugs, D- alanylcarboxypeptidases, useful for converting prodrugs that contain D-amino acid substituents, carbohydrate-cleaving enzymes such as β-galactosidase and neuraminidase useful for converting glycosylated prodrugs into free drugs, β-lactamase useful for converting drags derivatized with β-lactams into free drugs, and penicillin amidases, such as penicillin V amidase or penicillin G amidase, useful for converting drugs derivatized at their amine nitrogens with phenoxyacetyl or phenylacetyl groups, respectively, into free drags. Alternatively, antibodies with enzymatic activity, also known in the art as abzymes, can be used to convert the prodrugs ofthe invention into free active drugs (see, e.g., R. J. Massey, Nature, 328, pp. 457-458 (1987)). Described in detail below are particular representative, non-limiting classes of targeted enzymes ofthe invention. Following the teaching provided herein, any other enzyme or enzyme class of interest can also be utilized in a similar fashion to produce targeted enzymes as those described below: β-lactamases In one embodiment, the present invention provides a targeted β-lactamase (BLA) enzyme. In a preferred embodiment, the targeted BLA enzyme comprises a substrate recognition site and a targeting site that binds a target, wherein the targeting site comprises one or more variant sequences derived from one or more variation-tolerant sequences. In a still more prefeπed embodiment, the variation-tolerant sequence is selected from the group consisting of loop A, loop B, loop C, loop D and loop E, as they are defined below. In another preferred embodiment, the targeted BLA enzyme has a specific activity greater than about 0.01 U/pmol against nitrocefin using the assay described below in the Examples. In a more preferred embodiment, the specific activity is greater than about 0.1 U/pmol. In a most preferred embodiment, the specific activity is greater than about 1 U/pmol. Preferably, these specific activities refer to the specific activity ofthe targeted BLA when bound to a target. BLA enzymes are widely distributed in both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. BLA sequences are well known. A representative example of a BLA sequence is depicted in Figure 1. BLA enzymes vary in specificity, but have in common that they hydrolyze β-lactams, producing substituted β-amino acids. Thus, they confer resistance to antibiotics containing β-lactams. Because BLA enzymes are not endogenous to mammals, they are subject to minimal interference from inhibitors, enzyme substrates, or endogenous enzyme systems (unlike proteases; see below), and therefore are particularly well-suited for therapeutic administration. BLA enzymes are further well-suited to the therapeutic methods ofthe present invention because of their small size (BLA from E. cloacae is a monomer of 43 kD; BLA from E. coli is a monomer of 30 kD) and because they have a high specific activity against their substrates and have optimal activity at neutral pH and 37° C. See Melton et al, Enzvme-Prodrug Strategies for Cancer Therapy. Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York (1999). The β-lactamases have been divided into four classes based on their sequences. See Thomson et al, 2000, Microbes and Infection 2:1225-35. The serine β-lactamases are subdivided into three classes: A (penicillinases), C (cephalosporinases) and D (oxacillnases). Class B β-lactamases are the zinc-containing or metallo β-lactamases. Any class of BLA can be utiized to generate a targeted enzyme ofthe invention. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a targeted β-lactamase that comprises the sequence YXN at its substrate recognition site (throughout, "X" refers to any amino acid residue), hi another embodiment, the targeted β-lactamase comprises the sequence RLYANASI at its active site. In another embodiment, the targeted β-lactamase comprises a sequence at its active site that differs from the sequence RLYANASI by one, two or three amino acid residues. Preferably, the differences are the substitution of conservative amino acid residues. However, insertions, deletions and non-conservative amino acid substitutions also are included. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a targeted β-lactamase that comprises the sequence KTXS at its substrate recognition site. In another embodiment, the targeted β-lactamase comprises the sequence VHKTGSTG at its active site. In another embodiment, the targeted β-lactamase comprises sequence at its active site that differs from the sequence VHKTGSTG by one, two or three amino acid residues. Preferably, the differences are the substitution of conservative amino acid residues. However, insertions, deletions and non-conservative amino acid substitutions also are included. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a targeted β-lactamase that comprises the sequences YXN and KTXS at its substrate recognition site. In another embodiment, the targeted β-lactamase comprises the sequences VHKTGSTG and RLYANASI at its active site. In another embodiment, the targeted β-lactamase comprises sequences at its active site that differ from the sequences RLYANASI and VHKTGSTG by one, two or three amino acid residues. Preferably, the differences are the substitution of conservative amino acid residues. However, insertions, deletions and non-conservative amino acid substitutions also are included. In one embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme coπesponding to a targeted enzyme of the present invention is a β-lactamase comprising the amino acid sequence of Figure 1. In such an embodiment, the targeted β-lactamase ofthe invention can be 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 98% or more (but not 100%) identical to the sequence depicted in Figure 1. In certain embodiments, the amino acid sequence ofthe targeted β-lactamase enzyme differs from the amino acid sequence depicted in Figure 1 only within the variation-tolerant sequence or sequences of the enzyme. In other embodiments, the amino acid sequence ofthe β-lactamase pre-targeted enzyme is 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 98% or more identical to the sequence of Figure 1, and the targeted enzyme ofthe invention is derived from, but not identical to this sequence. In one such embodiment, the targeted enzyme differs from the β-lactamase pre-targeted enzyme only within the variation-tolerant sequence or sequences ofthe enzyme. In another embodiment, a nucleic acid encoding the pre-targeted enzyme hybridizes to a nucleic acid complementary to a nucleic acid encoding the amino acid sequence of Figure 1 under highly stringent conditions. The highly stringent conditions can be, for example, hybridization to filter-bound DNA in 0.5 M NaHPO 4 , 7% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 1 mM EDTA at 65° C, and washing in O.lxSSC/0.1 % SDS at 68° C (Ausubel et al, eds., 1989, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. I, Green Publishing Associates, Inc., and John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, at p. 2.10.3). Other highly stringent conditions can be found in, for example, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, at pages 2.10.1-16 and Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2d ed., Sambrook et al. (eds.), Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1989, pages 9.47-57. In another embodiment, a nucleic acid encoding the pre-targeted enzyme hybridizes to a nucleic acid complementary to a nucleic acid encoding the amino acid sequence of Figure 1 under moderately stringent conditions. The moderately stringent conditions can be, for example, washing in 0.2xSSC/0.1% SDS at 42 °C (Ausubel et al., 1989, supra). Other moderately stringent conditions can be found in, for example, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. I, Ausubel et al. (eds.), Green Publishing Associates, Inc., and John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1989, pages 2.10.1-16 and Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2d ed., Sambrook et al (eds.), Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 19S9, pages 9.47-57. In a preferred embodiment the invention provides a method of treating a subject by administering to the subject a targeted BLA enzyme and a prodrug that is converted by the BLA into an active drug. Examples of suitable prodrugs for this embodiment are provided in, e.g., Melton et al. , Enzvme-Prodrug Strategies for Cancer Therapy. Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York (1999), Bagshaw et al, Current Opinion in Immunology 11:579-83 (1999) and Ken et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 9:255-59 (1998). Proteases In a preferred embodiment, a protease is selected as the pre-targeted enzyme. An advantage of proteases is that a peptide can be used as a prodrug. In a particularly prefeπed embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme is human trypsin. Because the enzyme is human, it will not elicit an immune response. It is also smaller than 45,000 Daltons and thus, the non-bound enzyme will be cleared from the circulation by glomular filtration. Optionally, the trypsin is modified so that it does not act on its native substrate. Thus, systemic administration is possible. It was reported recently that a peptide-drug conjugate was specifically cleaved by prostate specific antigen (PSA) at a tumor site. See DeFeo- Jones et al, Nat Med 6:1248 (2000). This report shows the activation of peptide prodrugs at the tumor site is an efficient way to increase the selectivity of an anticancer agent. However, this approach is limited to the treatment of tumors and other diseases where a specific protease is already present in the diseased tissue at concentrations higher than found in other tissues. The present invention allows the addition of exogenous targeted proteases or other enzymes that can recognize and bind to tumor or other target. Consequently, one can decorate the target with a protease or other enzyme that selectively activates a prodrug. This approach allows one to choose an enzyme with suitable kinetic properties instead of relying on the properties of the native endogenous enzyme. In order to make a targeted enzyme from a protease two obstacles should be overcome: the enzyme must not be ineversibly inactivated by compounds in the blood or other relevant tissues, and the enzyme must be selective enough to cause minimal damage to peptides or proteins in the blood or other relevant tissues. In most applications, the targeted enzyme will be administered into and subsequently distributed through the circulation to the target tissue. Blood is known to contain numerous protease inhibitors. See Travis & Salvesen, Annu. Rev Biochem 52:655 (1983). Therefore, modified enzymes which remain active in the presence of protease inhibitors located in blood or in the diseased tissue can be used. One important inhibitor in the blood is α2-macroglobulin. This serum protein inhibits proteases regardless of their mechanism of action as long as the enzymes are able to cleave the so-called bait region ofthe inhibitor. For example, see Sottrap- Jensen et al, JBiol Chem 264:15781 (1989). However, there is at least one exception—an extremely selective protease from tobacco etch virus does not cleave α2-macroglobulin and consequently is not inhibited by it. Thus, it is possible to modify targeted enzymes to comprise a catalytic site similar to that ofthe tobacco etch viral protease. Alternatively, other enzymes with catalytic sites similar to the site ofthe tobacco etch viral protease could be found. In this embodiment, the peptide linker of the prodrug would be designed to be very different from the α2- macroglobulin bait region and more similar to the substrate ofthe tobacco etch viral protease to simplify the identification of other, similarly selective enzymes. Proteases have been used as therapeutics for acute, life-threatening diseases. For example, tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) is a naturally occurring protease that forms a complex with fibrin, the "structural" component of blood clots, that converts plasminogen to plasmin which degrades the fibrin network and dissolves the clot. Since the increase in plasmin concentration occurs acutely and mainly at the clot rather than in the circulation, systemic side effects are reduced. In the case of streptokinase, a bacterial protease a<hninistration results in an immunological response which may lead to increased risk of anaphylactic reaction or reduced thrombolytic efficacy on repeat administration. One embodiment ofthe present invention relates to a therapeutic targeted protease system that a) evades the circulatory system's protease inhibitors and b) selectively delivers the protease to a target of interest including, e.g., tumor cells, cells infected with a pathogen, or cells undergoing an inflammatory response. The therapeutic targeted protease system is essentially inactive in the bloodstream but is specifically activated at the target and displays its full biological activity, thus preferentially attacking the target and sparing other cells and tissues. Because the system is modular, it does not require the expression or construction of fusion proteins or covalently targeted proteins. In principle the same targeting agent could be used to modify several different bioactive molecules or enzymes of different specificity. This might be important in cases of mutations in a pathogenic organism that lead to different serotypes, as for example, in HIV infection. Such a system also could be useful for both diagnosis, e.g., monitoring antigen presentation using isotopically labeled protein, or activation of a small molecule fluorophore, and disease treatment, e.g., activation of a prodrug, with the same enzyme system. Targeted delivery of a cytotoxic enzyme using an enzyme inhibitor that is released upon entry into the cytosol of a targeted cell or tissue specific cell type would bypass physiological defense mechanism of protease inhibitors in the blood and allow administration of a useful therapeutic. This targeting inhibitor could, at the same time, function to bind enzyme to target or to have it taken up by the cell. The flexibility ofthe present therapeutic system can be formatted to be effective at nanomolar doses or less due to the catalytic nature ofthe released enzyme. Furthermore, this modular approach could be applied to deliver other cytotoxic enzymes that would be detrimental if expressed in blood directly. In contrast to mammalian proteases, whose small N-terminal zymogen peptides simply prevent premature activation, extracellular bacterial proteases are synthesized with a N-terminal pro region (Pro) that is required for proper folding ofthe mature protease domain. Because Pro acts as a folding catalyst, it should be possible to selectively deliver a cytotoxic bacterial protease to any site of action in the body by first administering a cell specific targeting domain fused to the Pro. After clearance from the blood or other tissues ofthe Pro- target conjugate, an additional administration of unfolded protease (mature) domain would lead to selective folding and activation at the target site. This system overcomes a significant roadblock in the normal application of proteases by administration in human blood since the normal protease inhibitor functions will not be activated by the unfolded protease. Furthermore, the enzyme activity can be enhanced by a number of well known techniques that will generate sequence diversity leading to altered function and performance profiles such as lowered immunogenicity, increased folding rate, see Wang et al, Biochemistry 37:3165 (1998), or altered substrate specificity. These techniques include site-directed mutagenesis, random mutagenesis, regiospecific mutagenesis, DNA shuffling techniques, and any combination thereof. To minimize the hydrolysis of peptides or proteins in the blood or tissues of a patient, the targeted protease, or the pre-targeted protease used to make it, can be modified to increase its selectivity towards the prodrug and decrease its selectivity towards endogenous proteins. An example of this embodiment is the use of substrate assisted catalysis described below.

For example, the target does not comprise a porphyrin- derived compound (e.g., heme in blood stain or chlorophyl in a plant stain), tannins or polyphenols (e.g., tea stains, wines stains or peach stains), carotenoids and carotenoid derivatives (e.g., tomato stains (cycopene, red), mango stains (carotene, orange-yellow) and paprika stains), oxygenated carotenoids, xanthophylls, anthocyanines (e.g., fruit and flower stains), Maillard reaction products (e.g., yellow-brown substances formed by heating carbohydrates and protein in cooking oil), dyes (e.g., direct Blue dye, acid Blue dye, reactive Blue dye, and reactive Black dyes). Sources of cells or tissues include human, animal, bacterial, fungal, viral and plant. Tissues are complex targets and refer to a single cell type, a collection of cell types or an aggregate of cells generally of a particular kind. Tissue may be intact or modified. General classes of tissue in humans include but are not limited to epithelial, connective tissue, nerve tissue, and muscle tissue. Prefeπed human cellular targets include hematopoietic cells, cancer cells and retroviral-mediated transduced cells. Hematopoietic cells encompass hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), erythrocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, platelets, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, B and T cells, macrophages, and natural killer cells. A particularly preferred surface antigen expression profile of HSCs is CD34 + Thy-1 + , and preferably CD34 + Thy-1 + Lin-. Lin " refers to a cell population selected on the basis ofthe lack of expression of at least one lineage specific marker. Methods for isolating and selecting HSCs are well known in the art and reference is made to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,061,620; 5,677,136; and 5,750,397. Non-limiting examples of protein and chemical targets encompassed by the invention include chemokines and cytokines and their receptors. Cytokines as used herein refer to any one ofthe numerous factors that exert a variety of effects on cells, for example inducing growth or proliferation. Non-limiting examples include interleukins (TL), IL-2, IL-3, DL-4 IL- 6, IL-10, EL-12, EL-13, IL-14 and IL-16; soluble IL-2 receptor; soluble D -6 receptor; erythropoietin (EPO); thrombopoietin (TPO); granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF); stem cell factor (SCF); leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF); interferons; oncostatin M(OM); the immunoglobulin superfamily; tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family, particularly TNF-α; TGFβ; and JL-lα; and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family, particularly VEGF (also refeπed to in the art as VEGF-A), VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D and placental growth factor (PLGF). Cytokines are commercially available from several vendors including Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA), Immunex (Seattle, WA) and Genentech (South San Francisco, CA). Particularly prefeπed are VEGF and TNF-α. Antibodies against TNF-α show that blocking interaction ofthe TNF-α with its receptor is useful in modulating over- expression of TNF-α in several disease states such as septic shock, rheumatoid arthritis, or other inflammatory processes. VEGF is an angiogenic inducer, a mediator of vascular permeability, and an endothelial cell specific mitogen. VEGF has also been implicated in tumors. Targeting members ofthe VEGF family and their receptors may have significant therapeutic applications, for example blocking VEGF may have therapeutic value in ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS).

Particularly prefeπed targets of the present invention include targets specifically associated with tumor cells. See,e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,261,535, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. SUBSTRATE ASSISTED CATALYSIS (SAO The concept of SAC was first described in Carter et al, Science 237:394 (1987) and US Patents 5,472,855 and 5,371,190. These authors used a variant of subtilisin but it was later shown the same principle could be apphed to other enzymes. See, e.g., Corey et al, Biochemistry 34:11521 (1995) (trypsin), Dall'Acqua et al, Protein Eng 12:981 (1999) (elastase), and Dall'Acqua et al, Protein Sci 9:1 (2000). Briefly, in substrate-assisted catalysis, a functional group ofthe substrate contributes to catalysis by an enzyme. The method can be exploited to generate enzymes with very high selectivity towards particular substrates. Examples of applications for SAC are binding to tumor tissue or infective agents. Thus one can combine the intrinsic high catalytic selectivity of SAC enzymes with a high binding selectivity. Such targeted SAC enzymes can be utiUzed to treat a variety of diseases. Due to their high selectivity, SAC enzymes are less prone to inhibition than other enzymes. For instance the H57A mutant of trypsin is highly selective towards His- Arg, His- Lys, Arg-His, and Lys-His bonds in a protein. See Corey et al, Biochemistry 34:11521 (1995) and Sottrup-Jensen et al, JBiol Chem 264:15781 (1989). Because this substrate does not resemble the bait region of α2-macroglobulin, the H57A mutant should be resistant to inhibition by α2-macroglobulin. The activity of SAC enzymes is limited to a very naπow spectrum of substrates. For the reasons described above, this makes them more suitable as therapeutic agents than other enzymes, in particular proteases. If a protease is administered to a patient it will contact numerous other proteins in the blood and in other tissues. All these proteins are potential substrates for a protease. Using a SAC protease with a very naπow selectivity for the target will minimize the hydrolysis of other proteins. In one prefeπed embodiment, SAC enzymes are used to activate prodrugs. Prodrugs can be designed to match the narrow substrate spectrum that is accepted by an SAC enzyme. Figure 2 shows an example of a prodrug designed for SAC trypsin. The active site of an enzyme can be modified by protein engineering or evolution to recognize the cleavable bond in a prodrug. This has the added benefit that the specificity of the resulting enzyme for it's normal substrates is likely to be reduced at the same time. An example of such an evolved enzyme is shown in Fig. 3. Targets for which SAC is useful can be identified using structural genomics approaches to identify exposed loops of receptors, signaling molecules, etc. for cleavage by a SAC protease. TARGETED ENZYME PRODRUG THERAPY In one prefeπed embodiment the present invention provides a method of treating a subject by administering a targeted enzyme and a prodrug, wherein the targeted enzyme is specifically localized to a portion ofthe subject's body where it converts the prodrug into an active drug. Examples ofenzyme/prodrug/active drug combinations are found in, e.g., Bagshawe et al, Current Opinions in Immunology, 11:579-83 (1999); Wilman, "Prodrugs In Cancer Chemotherapy," Biochemical Society Transactions, 14, pp. 375-82 (615th Meeting, Belfast 1986) and V. J. Stella et al, "Prodrugs: A Chemical Approach To Targeted Drug DeUvery," Directed Drug Delivery, R. Borchardt et al. (ed), pp.247-67 (Humana Press 1985). In one embodiment, the prodrag is a peptide. Examples of peptides as prodrugs can be found in Trouet et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 79:626 (1982), and Umemoto et al, Int J Cancer 43:677 (1989). These and other reports show that peptides are sufficiently stable in blood. Another advantage of peptide-derived prodrugs is their amino acid sequences can be chosen to confer suitable pharmacological properties like half-life, tissue distribution, and low toxicity to the active drags. Most reports of peptide-derived prodrugs relied on relatively nonspecific activation ofthe prodrug by, for instance, lysosomal enzymes. Recently, it was reported that a peptide-drug conjugate was specifically cleaved by prostate specific antigen (PSA) at a tumour site. See DeFeo-Jones et α/., Nat Med 6:1248 (2000). This report shows the activation of peptide prodrugs at the tumor site is an efficient way to increase the selectivity of an anticancer agent. The prodrug can be one that is converted to an active drug in more than one step. For example, the prodrug can be converted to a precursor of an active drag by the targeted enzyme. The precursor can be converted into the active drug by, for example, the catalytic activity of one or more additional targeted enzymes, the catalytic activities of one or more non-targeted enzymes admimstered to the subject, the catalytic activity of one or more enzymes naturally present in the subject or at the target site in the subject (e.g., a protease, a phosphatase, a kinase or a polymerase), by a drug that is administered to the subject, or by a chemical process that is not enzymatically catalyzed (e.g., oxidation, hydrolysis, isomerization, epimerization). Drags Most studies involving prodrags are generated after programs with existing drags are found to be problematic. In particular anticancer drags were generally characterized by a very low therapeutic index. By converting these drugs into prodrugs with reduced toxicity and then selectively activating them in the diseased tissue, the therapeutic index ofthe drug was significantly reduced. See, e.g., Melton et al, Enzvme-prodrug strategies for cancer therapy (1999), and Niculescu-Duvaz et al, Anticancer Drug Des 14:517 (1999). This invention allows one of skill in the art to evolve the specificity of an enzyme to accommodate even structures that would be poor substrates for naturally occurring enzymes. Thus, prodrugs can be designed even though the drugs were otherwise not amenable to a prodrug strategy. Curnis etal, Nat Biotechnol 18:1185 (2000) showed the cytokine TNFα, when selectively targeted towards tumor vasculature, exhibited a strong antitumor effect. Otherwise, systemic delivery of TNFα is hampered by its toxicity. Other cytokines are likely to have similar limitations. The present invention enables the design of cytokine-based prodrugs that are selectively activated in diseased tissue by a targeted enzyme. A number of studies have been performed with toxins coupled to targeting agents (usually antibodies or antibody fragments). See, e.g., Torchilin, EurJPharm Sci 1 lSuppl 2:S81 (2000) and Frankel et al, Clin Cancer Res 6:326 (2000). An alternative to the above is to convert these toxins into prodrugs and then selectively release them in the diseased tissue. Prodrugs The prodrugs of this invention include, but are not limited to, phosphate-containing prodrugs, thiophosphate-containing prodrugs, sulfate-containing prodrugs, peptide-containing prodrugs, D-amino acid-modified prodrugs, glycosylated prodrugs, β-lactam-containing prodrugs, optionally substituted phenoxyacetamide-containing prodrugs or optionally substituted phenylacetamide containing prodrugs, 5-fluorocytosine and other 5-fluorouridine prodrugs which can be converted by the enzyme ofthe conjugate into the more active cytotoxic free drag. Examples of cytotoxic drugs that can be derivatized into a prodrag form for use in this invention include, but are not limited to, etoposide, temposide, adriamycin, daunomycin, carminomycin, aminopterin, dactinomycin, mitomycins, cis-platinum and cis~ platinum analogues, bleomycins, esperamicins (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,675,187), 5-fluorouracil, melphalan, other related nitrogen mustards, and derivatives thereof. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,975,278. In one embodiment ofthe invention, the pre-targeted enzyme is an alkaline phosphatase (AP) that converts a 4'-phosphate derivative ofthe epipodophyl-lotoxin glucosides into an active anti-cancer drug. Such derivatives include etoposide-4'-phosphate, etoposide- 4'-thiophosphate and teniposide-4'-phosphate. Other embodiments ofthe invention may include phosphate derivatives of these glucosides wherein the phosphate moiety is placed at other hydroxyl groups on the glucosides. According to a more preferred embodiment, however, the phosphate derivative used as a pro-drug in this invention is etoposide-4'-phosphate or etoposide-4'-thiophosphate. The targeted AP removes the phosphate group from the prodrug, releasing an active antitumor agent. The mitomycin phosphate prodrug of this embodiment may be an N 7 -C j . 8 alkyl phosphate derivative of mitomycin C or porfiromycin, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. N 7 refers to the nitrogen atom attached to the 7-position ofthe mitosane nucleus ofthe parent drug. According to a more prefened embodiment, the derivative used is 7-(2'- aminoethylphosphate)mitomycin ("MOP"). Alternatively, the MOP compound maybe termed, 9a-methoxy-7-[[(phos-phonooxy)ethyl]amino]mitosane disodium salt. Other embodiments ofthe invention may include the use pf N 7 -alkyl mitomycin phosphorothioates as prodrugs. In still another embodiment ofthe invention, a penicillin amidase enzyme can be used as the pre-targeted enzyme, which converts a novel adriamycin prodrug into the active antitumor drug, adriamycin. In a prefeπed embodiment, the penicillin amidase is a penicillin V amidase ("PVA") isolated from Fusarium oxysporum that hydrolyzes phenoxyacetyl amide bonds. The prodrag utilized can be N-(p-hydroxyphenoxyacetyl)adriamycin ("APO"), which is hydrolyzed by the amidase to release the potent antitumor agent, adriamycin The present invention also comprises, for example, the use ofthe adriamycin prodrug, N-(p-hydroxyphenoxyacetyl)adriamycin and other related adriamycin prodrugs that can be derivatized in substantially the same manner. For example, use ofthe prodrag N- (phenoxyacetyl) adriamycin is also within the scope ofthe invention. In addition, it is to be understood that the adriamycin prodrags of this invention include other N- hydroxyphenoxyacetyl derivatives of adriamycin, e.g., substituted at different positions ofthe phenyl ring, as well as N-phenoxyacetyl derivatives containing substituents on the phenyl ring other than the hydroxyl group described herein. Furthermore, the present embodiment encompasses the use of other amidases, such as penicillin G amidase, as the pre-targeted enzyme as well as other prodrags correspondingly derivatized such that the particular amidase can hydrolyze that prodrag to an active antitumor form. For example, when a penicillin G amidase is used as the pretargeted enzyme, the prodrag should contain a phenylacetylamide group (as opposed to the phenoxyacetylamide group of APO) because penicillin G amidases hydrolyze this type of amide bond (see, e.g., A. L. Margolin et al, Biochim. Biophys Acta. 616, pp. 283-89 (1980)). Thus, other prodrags of the invention include N-(p-hydroxyphenylacetyl) adriamycin, N-(phenylacetyl) adriamycin and other optionally substituted N-phenylacetyl derivatives of adriamycin. It should also be understood that the present invention includes any prodrug derived by reacting the amine group ofthe parent drug with the carboxyl group of phenoxyacetic acid, phenylacetic acid or other related acids. Thus, prodrugs of anthracyclines other than adriamycin that are capable of being derivatized and acting in substantially the same manner as the adriamycin prodrags described herein falls within the scope of this invention. For example, other prodrugs that can be produced and used in accordance with this invention include hydroxyphenoxyacetylamide derivatives, hydroxyphenylacetylamide derivatives, phenoxyacetylamide derivatives and phenylacetylamide derivatives of anthracyclines such as daunomycin and carminomycin. Other amine-containing drugs such as melphalan, mitomycin, aminopterin, bleomycin and dactinomycin can also be modified described herein to yield prodrugs ofthe invention. Yet another prefened embodiment ofthe invention involves a targeted enzyme form ofthe enzyme, cytosine deaminase ("CD"). The deaminase enzyme catalyzes the conversion of 5-fluorocytosine ("5-FC"), a compound lacking in antineoplastic activity, to the potent antitumor drag, 5-fluorouracil ("5-FU"). Another embodiment ofthe method of this invention provides a method of combination chemotherapy using several prodrugs and a single targeted enzyme. According to this embodiment, a number of prodrags are used that are all substrates for the same targeted enzyme. Thus, a particular targeted enzyme converts a number of prodrugs into cytotoxic form, resulting in increased antitumor activity at the tumor site. According to another embodiment, a number of different targeted enzymes are used. Each targeted enzyme can be used to convert its respective prodrag or prodrags into active form at the target tumor site. Still another embodiment of this invention involves the use of a number of targeted enzymes wherein the target bound by the enzymes varies, i.e., a number of targeted enzymes are used, each one binding specifically to a different target of interest. The catalytic activities ofthe targeted enzymes may be the same or may vary. This embodiment may be especially useful in situations where, for example, the amounts ofthe various targets on the surface of a tumor is unknown and one wants to be certain that sufficient enzyme is targeted to the tumor site. The use of a number of targeted enzymes recognizing different targets on the tumor increases the likelihood of obtaining sufficient enzyme at the tumor site for conversion of a prodrug or series of prodrugs. Additionally, this embodiment is important for achieving a high degree of specificity for the tumor because the likelihood that normal tissue will possess all ofthe same tumor-associated antigens is small (cf, I. Hellstrom et al., "Monoclonal Antibodies To Two Determinants Of Melanoma-Antigen p97 Act Synergistically In Complement-Dependent Cytotoxicity", J. Immunol, 127 (No. l),pp. 157-160(1981)). In another embodiment, a targeted enzyme is used that binds to a plurality of targets on a diseased cell. In a prefeπed embodiment, the targeted enzyme comprises a plurality of targeting sites, each of which binds to a different target on the diseased cell. The targeted enzyme binds relatively weakly to cells having fewer than all ofthe targets but relatively strongly to cells having all ofthe targets. There is often a requirement for extending the blood circulation half-lives of pharmaceutical peptides, proteins, or small molecules. Typically short half-lives — lasting minutes to hours — require not only frequent, but also high, doses for therapeutic effect — often so high that initial peak doses cause side effects. Extending the half-life of such therapeutics permits lower, less frequent, and therefore potentially safer doses, which are cheaper to produce. Previously researchers have increased protein half-life by fusing them covalently to PEG, see U.S. Patent 5,711,944, human blood serum albumin, see U.S. Patent 5,766,883, or Fc fragments, see WO 00/24782. In addition, nonspecific targeting of drugs to human serum albumin has been accomplished by chemical coupling drugs in vivo. See U.S. Patent 5,843,440. Furthermore, in the case of cancer drugs it has been proposed that high molecular weight drugs may localize in tumors due to enhanced permeability and retention. Therefore, improvement in the therapeutic index of a drug can be obtained by linking the drug to a protein or other high molecular weight polymer. However, the prior art methods for stabiUzing protein and peptide therapeutics or increasing the size of cancer therapeutics have several limitations. These methods suffer from the lack of specificity involved in chemical coupling. There is also an inherent Umitation of C- and N-terminal fusions in the case of fusion peptides since only two sites of attachment are possible. In addition, protein production of HSA conjugates can be problematic on a large scale. There is little or no release of covalently fused therapeutics so the pharmacodynamic properites ofthe therapeutic construct are not easily controlled. In addition, all of these methods substantially increase the time and effort required to identify stable therapeutics since they are not modular in nature. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method to selectively stabilize a therapeutic peptide, protein, or small molecule by non-covalently targeting the therapeutic site specifically to human serum albumin (HSA). Using selective targeting methods, peptide sequences that selectively bind to serum albumin with high affinity and high selectivity could be identified. Briefly, HSA-depleted blood is incubated with a Ubrary of molecules, preferably peptides. Peptides that do not bind to HSA- depleted blood are then incubated with immobilized HSA, washed extensively, and HSA binding peptides are then identified. Peptides are further optimized for use as a therapeutic, e.g., to limit their immunological response, proteolytic susceptiblity in the blood, or ease of manufacture. Fusion of these small peptides to therapeutics of interest substantially increase the half-life or therapeutic index of the drug. Furthermore, the peptide drug conjugate can be much simpler to administer. Protease clip sites can be introduced between the HSA targeting peptide and the drag or therapeutic. When these HSA targeted drags are administered in the blood, the drag conjugate selectively binds to HSA and could be released based upon the physically designed properties ofthe binding agent (k on & k„ ff in the blood) or by enzymatic cleavage or activation. This approach can be extended to targeting other long lived blood proteins including Fc fragments, α2-macroglobulin, steroids, and erythrocytes, for example. The vasculature in cancer tissue exhibits a higher than normal diffusivity. See Yuan et al, Cancer Res 55:3752 (1995). Furthermore, the diffusivity of macromolecules in the interstitial space of tumors is relatively high compared to normal tissues. See Jain, Cancer Res 47:3039 (1987). A recent review summarizes experimental results that demonstrate that the increased diffusivity of tumors can be exploited by designing macromolecular prodrugs in particular based an coupling to PEG. See Greenwald et al, Crit Rev Ther Drug Carrier Syst 17:101 (2000). However, these prodrags rely for their activation either on chemical lability ofthe linker or on rather non-specific enzymes in the tumor site. This approach can be significantly enhanced by targeting a selective enzyme to the tumor site which can cleave the macromolecular part ofthe prodrug and thus release it. This approach allows for prodrags with very low toxicity, due to their macromolecular pro-part which keeps the prodrag out of most tissues and prevents the prodrug from entering most cells. In addition, one can design the linker part to be very stable to prevent drug activation in unrelated tissues. In a prefeπed embodiment the present invention provides a method of treating a condition in subject comprising adrrrinistering to the subject a targeted enzyme with β- lactamase activity and a prodrug. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the targeted enzyme is targeted to cancerous cell, tissue, tumor or organ, hi a still more preferred embodiment, the cancer is a melanoma or a carcinoma. In another more preferred embodiment, the prodrug is converted by the targeted enzyme into an active drag. In a still more preferred embodiment, the active drug is an alkylating agent. In another still more prefened embodiment, the prodrug is an anticancer nitrogen mustard prodrug. In another still more preferred embodiment, the active drug is melphalan. In a most prefeπed embodiment, the prodrug is C- Mel. See Ken et al, Bioconjugate Chem. 9:255-59 (1998). In another most prefeπed embodiment, the prodrag is vinca-cephalosporin or doxorubicin cephalosporin. See Bagshawe et al, Current Opinion in Immunology, 11 :579-83 (1999). Other prodrug enzyme combinations that can be used in the present invention include, but are not limited to, those found in U.S. Patent No. 4,975,278 and Melton et al, Enzvme-Prodrug Strategies for Cancer Therapy Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York (1999). The list of candidates for the pro-part ofthe prodrugs is extensive and diverse, and many, are well known to those of skill in the art. NUCLEIC ACIDS AND METHODS OF EXPRESSING TARGETED ENZYMES In another aspect, the present invention provides a nucleic acid encoding a targeted enzyme. The nucleic acid can be, for example, a DNA or an RNA. The present invention also provides a plasmid comprising a nucleic acid encoding a targeted enzyme. The plasmid can be, for example, an expression plasmid that allows expression of the targeted enzyme in a host cell or organism, or in vitro. The expression vector can allow expression ofthe targeted enzyme in, for example, a bacterial cell. The bacterial cell can be, for example, an E. coli cell. Because ofthe redundancy in the genetic code, typically a large number of DNA sequences encode any given amino acid sequence and are, in this sense, equivalent. As described below, it may be desirable to select one or another equivalent DNA sequences for use in a expression vector, based on the prefeπed codon usage ofthe host cell into which the expression vector will be inserted. The present invention is intended to encompass all DNA sequences that encode the targeted enzyme. Production of the targeted enzyme of the invention can be carried out using a recombinant expression clone. The construction ofthe recombinant expression clone, the transformation of a host cell with the expression clone, and the culture ofthe transformed host cell under conditions which promote expression, can be carried out in a variety of ways using techniques of molecular biology well understood in the art. Methods for each of these steps are described in general below. Prefeπed methods are described in detail in the examples. An operable expression clone is constracted by placing the coding sequence in operable linkage with a suitable control sequences in an expression vector. The vector can be designed to replicate autonomously in the host cell or to integrate into the chromosomal DNA ofthe host cell. The resulting clone is used to transform a suitable host, and the transformed host is cultured under conditions suitable for expression ofthe coding sequence. The expressed targeted enzyme is isolated from the medium or from the cells, although recovery and purification ofthe targeted enzyme may not be necessary in some instances. Construction of suitable clones containing the coding sequence and a suitable control sequence employs standard ligation and restriction techniques that are well understood in the art. In general, isolated plasmids, DNA sequences, or synthesized oligonucleotides are cleaved, modified, and religated in the form desired. Suitable restriction sites can, if not normally available, be added to the ends ofthe coding sequence so as to facilitate construction of an expression clone. Site-specific DNA cleavage is performed by treating with a suitable restriction enzyme (or enzymes) under conditions that are generally understood in the art and specified by the manufacturers of commercially available restriction enzymes. See, e.g., product catalogs from Amersham (Arlington Heights, IL), Roche Molecular Biochemicals (Indianapolis, IN), and New England Biolabs (Beverly, MA). In general, about 1 μg of plasmid or other DNA is cleaved by one unit of enzyme in about 20μl of buffer solution; in the examples below, an excess of restriction enzyme is generally used to ensure complete digestion ofthe DNA. Incubation times of about one to two hours at a temperature which is optimal for the particular enzyme are typical. After each incubation, protem is removed by extraction with phenol and chloroform; this extraction can be followed by ether extraction and recovery ofthe DNA from aqueous fractions by precipitation with ethanol. If desired, size separation ofthe cleaved fragments maybe performed by polyacrylamide gel or agarose gel electrophoresis using standard techniques. See, e.g., Maxam et al, 1980, Methods in Enzymology 65:499- 560. Restriction enzyme-cleaved DNA fragments with single-strand "overhanging" termini can be made blunt-ended (double-strand ends) by, for example, treating with the large fragment of E. coli _DNA polymerase I (Klenow) in the presence ofthe four deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) using incubation times of about 15 to 25 minutes at 20°C to 25°C in 50 mM Tris, pH 7.6, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCi2, 10 mM DTT, and 5 to 10 μM dNTPs. The Klenow fragment fills in at 5' protruding ends, but chews back protruding 3' single strands, even though the four dNTPs are present. If desired, selective repair can be performed by supplying one or more selected dNTPs, within the limitations dictated by the nature ofthe protruding ends. After treatment with Klenow, the mixture is extracted with phenol/chloroform and ethanol precipitated. Similar results can be achieved using SI nuclease, because treatment under appropriate conditions with SI nuclease results in hydrolysis of any single-stranded portion of a nucleic acid. Ligations can be performed, for example, in 15-30 μl volumes under the following standard conditions and temperatures: 20 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgC-2, 10 mM DTT, 33 μg ml BSA, 10-50 mM NaCl, and either 40 μM ATP and 0.01-0.02 (Weiss) units T4 DNA ligase at 0°C (for ligation of fragments with complementary single-stranded ends) or ImM ATP and 0.3-0.6 units T4 DNA ligase at 14°C (for "blunt end" ligation). Intermolecular ligations of fragments with complementary ends are usually performed at 33-100 μg/ml total DNA concentrations (5-100 nM total ends concentration). Intermolecular blunt end ligations (usually employing a 20-30 fold molar excess of linkers, optionally) are performed at 1 μM total ends concentration. In vector construction, the vector fragment is commonly freated with bacterial or calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (BAP or CIAP) to remove the 5' phosphate and prevent religation and reconstruction ofthe vector. BAP and CIAP digestion conditions are well known in the art, and published protocols usually accompany the commercially available BAP and CIAP enzymes. To recover the nucleic acid fragments, the preparation is extracted with phenol-chloroform and ethanol precipitated to remove the phosphatase and purify the DNA. Alternatively, religation of unwanted vector fragments can be prevented by restriction enzyme digestion before or after Ugation, if appropriate restriction sites are available. Conect ligations for plasmid construction can be confirmed using any suitable method known in the art. For example, coπect ligations for plasmid construction can be confirmed by first fransforming a suitable host, such as E. coli strain DG101 (ATCC 47043) or E. coli strain DG116 (ATCC 53606), with the ligation mixture. Successful transformants are selected by ampicillin, tetracycline or other antibiotic resistance or sensitivity or by using other markers, depending on the mode of plasmid construction, as is understood in the art. Plasmids from the transformants are then prepared according to the method of Clewell et al, 1969, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 62:1159, optionally following chloramphenicol amplification. See Clewell, 1972, J. Bacteriol. 110:667. Alternatively, plasmid DNA can be prepared using the "Base- Acid" extraction method at page 11 ofthe Bethesda Research Laboratories publication Focus 5 (2), and very pure plasmid DNA can be obtained by replacing steps 12 through 17 of the protocol with CsCl/ethidium bromide ultracentrifugation ofthe DNA. As another alternative, a commercially available plasmid DNA isolation kit, e.g., H3SPEED™, QIAFTLTER™ and QIAGEN® plasmid DNA isolation kits (Qiagen, Valencia CA) can be employed following the protocols supplied by the vendor. The isolated DNA can be analyzed by, for example, restriction enzyme digestion and/or sequenced by the dideoxy method of Sanger et al, 1977, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74:5463, as further described by Messing et al, 1981, Nuc. Acids Res. 9:309, or by the method of Maxam et al, 1980, Methods in Enzymology 65:499. The control sequences, expression vectors, and transformation methods are dependent on the type of host cell used to express the gene. Generally, procaryotic, yeast, insect, or mammalian cells are used as hosts. Procaryotic hosts are in general the most efficient and convenient for the production of recombinant proteins and are therefore prefened for the expression ofthe protein. The procaryote most frequently used to express recombinant proteins is E. coli. However, microbial strains other than E. coli can also be used, such as bacilli, for example Bacillus subtilis, various species of Pseudomonas and Salmonella, and other bacterial strains. In such procaryotic systems, plasmid vectors that contain replication sites and control sequences derived from the host or a species compatible with the host are typically used. For expression of constructions under control of most bacterial promoters, E. coli K12 strain MM294, obtained from the E. coli Genetic Stock Center under GCSC #6135, can be used as the host. For expression vectors with the PINRBS or Pτ_ T7RJ$S control sequence, E. coli K12 strain MC1000 lambda lysogen, N7N53CI857 SUSPSQ. ATCC 39531, may be used. E. coli DGl 16 , which was deposited with the ATCC (ATCC 53606) on April 7, 1987, andE. coli KB2, which was deposited with the ATCC (ATCC 53075) on March 29, 1985, are also useful host cells. For M13 phage recombinants, E. coli strains susceptible to phage infection, such as E. coli K12 strain DG98 (ATCC 39768), are employed. The DG98 strain was deposited with the ATCC on July 13, 1984. For example, E. coli is typically transformed using derivatives of pBR322, described by Bolivar et al, 1977, Gene 2:95. Plasmid pBR322 contains genes for ampicillin and tefracycline resistance. These drag resistance markers can be either retained or destroyed in constructing the desired vector and so help to detect the presence of a desired recombinant. Commonly used procaryotic control sequences, i.e., a promoter for transcription initiation, optionally with an operator, along with a ribosome binding site sequence, include the β- lactamase (penicillinase) and lactose (lac) promoter systems, see Chang et al, 1977, Nature 198:1056, the tryptophan (tip) promoter system, see Goeddel et al., 1980, Nuc. Acids Res. 8:4057, and the lambda-derived PL promoter, see Shimatake et al, 1981, Nature 292:128, and gene N ribosome binding site (NRBS). A portable control system cassette is set forth in U.S. Patent No. 4,711,845, issued December 8, 1987. This cassette comprises a PL promoter operably linked to the NRBS in turn positioned upstream of a third DNA sequence having at least one restriction site that permits cleavage within six base pairs 3' ofthe NRB$ sequence. Also useful is the phosphatase A (phoA) system described by Chang et al, in European Patent Publication No. 196,864, pubhshed October 8, 1986. However, any available promoter system compatible with procaryotes can be used to construct a expression vector of the invention. In addition to bacteria, eucaryotic microbes, such as yeast, can also be used as recombinant host cells. Laboratory strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Baker's yeast, are most often used, although a number of other strains are commonly available. While vectors employing the two micron origin of replication are common, see Broach, 1983, Meth. Enz. 101:307, other plasmid vectors suitable for yeast expression are known. See, e.g., Stinchcomb et al, 1979, Nature 282:39; Tschempe et al, 1980, Gene 10:157; and Clarke et al, 1983, Meth. Enz. 101:300. Control sequences for yeast vectors include promoters for the synthesis of glycolytic enzymes. See Hess et al, 1968, J. Adv. Enzyme Reg. 7:149; Holland et al, 1978, Biotechnology 17:4900; and Holland et al, 1981, J. Biol. Chem. 256:1385. Additional promoters known in the art include the promoter for 3-phosphoglycerate kinase, see Hitzeman et al, 1980, J. Biol. Chem. 255:2073, and those for other glycolytic enzymes, such as glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, pyruvate decarboxylase, phosphofractokinase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, 3-phosphoglycerate mutase, pyruvate kinase, triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglucose isomerase, and glucokinase. Other promoters that have the additional advantage of transcription controlled by growth conditions are the promoter regions for alcohol dehydrogenase 2, isocytochrome C, acid phosphatase, degradative enzymes associated with nitrogen metabolism, and enzymes responsible for maltose and galactose utilization (Holland, supra). Terminator sequences may also be used to enhance expression when placed at the 3' end ofthe coding sequence. Such terminators are found in the 3' untranslated region following the coding sequences in yeast-derived genes. Any vector containing a yeast- compatible promoter, origin of replication, and other control sequences is suitable for use in constructing yeast expression vectors. The coding sequence can also be expressed in eucaryotic host cell cultures derived from multicellular organisms. See, e.g., Tissue Culture, Academic Press, Cruz and Patterson, editors (1973). Useful host cell lines include COS-7, COS-A2, CV-1, murine cells such as murine myelomas N51 and VERO, HeLa cells, and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) ceUs. Expression vectors for such cells ordinarily include promoters and control sequences compatible with mammalian cells such as, for example, the commonly used early and late promoters from Simian Virus 40 (SV 40), see Fiers et al, 1978, Nature 273:113, or other viral promoters such as those derived from polyoma, adenovirus 2, bovine papilloma virus (BPV), or avian sarcoma viruses, or immunoglobulin promoters and heat shock promoters. A system for expressing DNA in mammalian systems using a BPV vector system is disclosed in United States Patent No. 4,419,446. A modification of this system is described in U.S. Patent No. 4,601,978. General aspects of mammalian cell host system transformations have been described by Axel, U.S. Patent No. 4,399,216. "Enhancer" regions are also important in optimizing expression; these are, generally, sequences found upstream ofthe promoter region. Origins of replication may be obtained, if needed, from viral sources. However, integration into the chromosome is a common mechanism for DNA replication in eucaryotes. Plant cells can also be used as hosts, and control sequences compatible with plant cells, such as the nopaline synthase promoter and polyadenylation signal sequences, see Depicker et al, 1982, J. Mol. Appl. Gen. 1:561, are available. Expression systems employing insect cells utilizing the control systems provided by baculovirus vectors have also been described. See Miller et al, in Genetic Engineering (1986), Setlow et al, eds., Plenum PubUshing, Vol. 8, pp. 277-97. Insect cell-based expression can be accomplished in Spodoptera frugipeida. These systems are also successful in producing recombinant enzymes. Depending on the host cell used, transformation is done using standard techniques appropriate to such cells. The calcium treatment employing calcium chloride, as described by Cohen, 1972, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 69:2110 is used for procaryotes or other cells that contain substantial cell wall barriers. Infection with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, see Shaw et al, 1983, Gene 23:315, is used for certain plant cells. For mammaUan cells, the calcium phosphate precipitation method of Grahamet al, 1978, Virology 52:546 is prefeπed. Transformations into yeast are carried out according to the method of Van Solingen et al, 1977, J. Bact. 130:946, and Hsiao et al, 1979, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 76:3829. It may be desirable to modify the sequence ofthe DNA encoding the targeted enzyme ofthe invention to provide, for example, a sequence more compatible with the codon usage ofthe host cell without modifying the amino acid sequence ofthe encoded protein. Such modifications to the initial 5-6 codons may improve expression efficiency. DNA sequences which have been modified to improve expression efficiency, but which encode the same amino acid sequence, are considered to be equivalent and encompassed by the present invention. A variety of site-specific primer-directed mutagenesis methods are available and well- known in the art. See, e.g., Sambrook et al, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, 1989, second edition, chapter 15.51, "Oligonucleotide-mediated mutagenesis," which is incorporated herein by reference. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used to perform site-specific mutagenesis. hi another technique now standard in the art, a synthetic oligonucleotide encoding the desired mutation is used as a primer to direct synthesis of a complementary nucleic acid sequence contained in a single-stranded vector, such as pBSM13+ derivatives, that serves as a template for construction ofthe extension product of the mutagenizing primer. The mutagenized DNA is transformed into a host bacterium, and cultures ofthe transformed bacteria are plated and identified. The identification of modified vectors may involve transfer ofthe DNA of selected transformants to a nitrocellulose filter or other membrane and the "Ufts" hybridized with kinased synthetic mutagenic primer at a temperature that permits hybridization of an exact match to the modified sequence but prevents hybridization with the original unmutagenized strand. Transformants that contain DNA that hybridizes with the probe are then cultured (the sequence ofthe DNA is generally confirmed by sequence analysis) and serve as a reservoir of the modified DNA. Once the protein has been expressed in a recombinant host cell, purification ofthe protein may be desired. A variety of purification procedures can be used to purify the targeted enzymes ofthe invention. For long-term stability, the purified targeted enzyme must be stored in a buffer that contains one or more non-ionic polymeric detergents. Such detergents are generally those that have a molecular weight in the range of approximately 100 to 250,00 preferably about 4,000 to 200,000 daltons and stabilize the enzyme at a pH of from about 3.5 to about 9.5, preferably from about 4 to 8.5. Examples of such detergents include those specified on pages 295-298 of McCutcheon's Emulsifiers & Detergents. North American edition (1983), published by the McCutcheon Division of MC Publishing Co., 175 Rock Road, Glen Rock, NJ (USA), the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Preferably, the detergents are selected from the group comprising ethoxylated fatty alcohol ethers and lauryl ethers, ethoxylated alkyl phenols, octylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol compounds, modified oxyethylated and/or oxypropylated straight-chain alcohols, polyethylene glycol monooleate compounds, polysorbate compounds, and phenolic fatty alcohol ethers. More particularly prefeπed are Tween 20™, a polyoxyethylated (20) sorbitan monolaurate from ICI Americas Inc. (Wilmington, DE), and Iconol™ NP-40, an ethoxylated alkyl phenol (nonyl) from BASF Wyandotte Corp. (Parsippany, NJ). METHODS OF MAKING TARGETED ENZYMES In one embodiment ofthe invention, a targeted enzyme is made by modifying a variation-tolerant sequence of a pre-targeted enzyme and selecting the modified enzyme if it binds to a target and has catalytic activity while bound to the target. In a prefeπed embodiment, an iterative approach is used wherein a modified enzyme that has catalytic activity while bound to target is further modified in the variant sequence and further selected if it has increased binding to the target, increased catalytic activity, or shows an improvement in another property. The cycle is repeated until an enzyme having a desired set of characteristics is obtained. In another prefened embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme has two or more varation-tolerant sequences that are modified. In a more prefened embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme has three or more variation-tolerant sequences that are modified. In a still more prefeπed embodiment, the pre-targeted enzyme has four or more variation-tolerant sequences that are modified. In another embodiment ofthe invention, a variation-tolerant sequence of a pre- targeted enzyme is replaced with a repertoire of variant sequences, forming a repertoire of modified enzymes, and a modified enzyme is selected from the repertoire of modified enzymes if it has catalytic activity while bound to a target. In a prefeπed embodiment, an iterative approach is used wherein a modified enzyme that has catalytic activity while bound to target is further modified in its variant sequence and further selected if it has increased binding to the target, increased catalytic activity, or shows an improvement in another property. The cycle is repeated until an enzyme having a desired set of characteristics is obtained. In another embodiment, a first variant sequence conesponding to a first variation- tolerant sequence of a pre-targeted enzyme is combined with a second variant sequence conesponding to a second variation-tolerant sequence ofthe pre-targeted enzyme to create a modified enzyme comprising the first variant sequence and the second variant sequence, and the modified enzyme is selected if it has catalytic activity while bound to a target. In a prefeπed embodiment, an iterative approach is used wherein a modified enzyme that has catalytic activity while bound to the target is further modified in its first and/or its second variant sequence and further selected if it has increased binding to the target, increased catalytic activity, or shows an improvement in another property. The cycle is repeated until an enzyme having a desired set of characteristics is obtained. In another prefened embodiment, a first repertoire of variant sequences conesponding to a first variation-tolerant sequence in a pre-targeted enzyme is combined with a second repertoire of variant sequences conesponding to a second variation-tolerant sequence ofthe pre-targeted enzyme to produce a repertoire of modified enzymes comprising a variant sequence from the first repertoire and a variant sequence from the second repertoire, and a modified enzyme is selected from the repertoire of modified enzymes if it has catalytic activity while bound to a target. In a prefeπed embodiment, an iterative approach is used wherein a modified enzyme that has catalytic activity while bound to the target is further modified in its first and/or its second variant sequence and further selected if it has increased binding to the target, increased catalytic activity, or shows an improvement in another property. The cycle is repeated until an enzyme having a desired set of characteristics is obtained. In another prefened embodiment, a first repertoire of variant sequences conesponding to a first variation-tolerant sequence in a pre-targeted enzyme is combined with a second repertoire of variant sequences conesponding to a second variation-tolerant sequence ofthe pre-targeted enzyme and a third repertoire of variant sequences conesponding to a third variation-tolerant sequence of the pre-targeted enzyme to produce a repertoire of modified enzymes comprising a variant sequence from the first repertoire, a variant sequence from the second repertoire and a variant sequence from the third repertoire, and a modified enzyme is selected from the repertoire of modified enzymes if it has catalytic activity while bound to a target. In a prefened embodiment, an iterative approach is used wherein a modified enzyme that has catalytic activity while bound to the target is further modified in one or more of its variant sequences and further selected if it has increased binding to the target, increased catalytic activity, or shows an improvement in another property. The cycle is repeated until an enzyme having a desired set of characteristics is obtained. In another prefened embodiment, a first repertoire of variant sequences conesponding to a first variation-tolerant sequence in a pre-targeted enzyme is combined with a second repertoire of variant sequences corresponding to a second variation-tolerant sequence ofthe pre-targeted enzyme, a third repertoire of variant sequences conesponding to a third variation- tolerant sequence of the pre-targeted enzyme and a fourth repertoire of variant sequences conesponding to a fourth variation-tolerant sequence ofthe pre-targeted enzyme to produce a repertoire of modified enzymes comprising a variant sequence from the first repertoire, a variant sequence from the second repertoire, a variant sequence from the third repertoire and a variant sequence from the fourth repertoire, and a modified enzyme is selected from the repertoire of modified enzymes if it has catalytic activity while bound to a target. In a prefened embodiment, an iterative approach is used wherein a modified enzyme that has catalytic activity while bound to the target is further modified in one or more of its variant sequences and further selected if it has increased binding to the target, increased catalytic activity, or shows an improvement in another property. The cycle is repeated until an enzyme having a desired set of characteristics is obtained. The number of variant sequences that can be combined in one modified enzyme is limited only by the number of variation-tolerant sequences that the conesponding pre-targeted enzyme possesses. In one embodiment, the enzymatic activity ofthe pre-targeted enzyme is used to select modified enzymes that are at least partially functional and, therefore, relatively structurally unaffected by the modification. For example, modified pre-targeted enzymes that confer antibiotic resistance to a cell can be expressed in the cell, and the cell exposed to the antibiotic. Resistance to the antibiotic indicates that the modification does not inactivate the enzyme. Similarly, a modified pre-targeted enzyme that metabolizes a necessary nutrient can be expressed in a cell that requires that nutrient. Growth in the absence ofthe nutrient indicates that the modified enzyme does not inactivate the enzyme. More generally, any pre- targeted enzyme that confers a detectable or selectable phenotype to a cell can be used to select modified pre-targeted enzymes that have not been inactivated by the modification. Cell-free or in vitro selection or detection systems also can be used, for example, processing of a fluorogenic or chromogenic substrate by the modified pre-targeted enzyme. Several workers have proposed grafting recognition elements from one protein enzyme onto another enzyme for improved (or modified) function. See Smith et al, JBiol Chem 270:30486 (1995). However, it is often suggested that efficient in vivo targeting cannot by accomplished with significant effect by proteins as small as single, recombinant V- domains with a molecular weight of about 15 kD. Random libraries of peptides have been generated on various protein scaffolds including protease inhibitors, se Roberts et al, Gene 121 :9 (1992), and GFP. Furthermore, it is generally assumed that the sites for such loop libraries are quite restricted based on the overall fold ofthe protein and it is often required to have a three-dimensional model of such a protein to construct and screen useful libraries. See U.S. Patent 6,025,485. The rules for locating such replacement loops are not well defined. Furthermore it is often assumed that large binding fragments such as Fab fragments are required for tight binding in tumor targeting applications. See Hudson, Curr Opin Biotechnol. 9(4):395 (1998). Phage display of folded proteins is often difficult and generating large libraries for phage displayed proteins can be problematic. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of generating on a single enzyme scaffold for therapeutic effect tight binding, targeted and efficient enzymes smaller than 60 kD, and preferably smaller than 45 kD. The flexibility ofthe present therapeutic system can be formatted to be effective at nanomolar doses or less due to the catalytic nature ofthe targeted enzyme. Furthermore the circulating half-life can be customized for rapid clearance in ADEPT or TEPT strategies for example. The smaller size of such agents would provide novel methods of delivery such as inhalation that are problematic for larger molecules. In one embodiment ofthe invention, the generation of targeted enzymes involves the steps of 1) Screening a library of peptides (displayed on phage for example) for affinity to cell specific targets including tumor antigens or other cell surface markers, using selective targeting methods. 2) PCR amplification of tight binding phage peptides and using Type II restriction enzymes to clone these sub-libraries into any protein of interest 3) Screening these much smaller targeted enzyme libraries on a single clone level (10 2 to 10 4 ) for function such as prodrug activation in a cell based assay. It may be assumed that peptide sequences that bind to a target in the context of pUJ phage displayed peptides will also bind to the target in the context of loops in the enzyme. Although this is a radical assumption since the peptide has a free amino terminus in the phage and its conformation is therefore presumably able to adopt many more conformations, avidity in the context ofthe multicopy pUI system may aUow tight binders, e.g., peptides identified by in vivo phage display. See Arap et al, Science 279:377 (1998). Cloning strategies can be developed that allow construction of subUbraries with appropriate restriction sites such that only 4-5 libraries will have to be constructed in the enzyme to screen for function. This approach requires the use of type II restriction enzyme cloning to introduce appropriate libraries (Figure 4). The inventors postulate the introduction of additional mutational variability in the oligo design may improve the expression of loop targeted variants. This method takes advantage ofthe fact that a key step in selective targeting using phage peptide libraries relies on a PCR step to amplify target bound phage so that PCR primers can be designed as a part ofthe targeting strategy to clone directly into a protein of interest. Thus, problems of constructing phage protein libraries directly are alleviated. Flexible loops for insertion and replacement can be based on criteria well known in the art. For example, in subtilisin from Bacillus lentus, loop insertions can be identified from, e.g.,: 1. alignment of the sequence with thermal B-factors 2. conservancy indices across a family 3. 15 N-'H NOE conelation times 4. substrate binding grooves/clefts near active site residues (so as to not occlude substrate binding completely. Alternatively, the enzyme library could be generated by standard molecular biology protocols either directly or using display technologies and screened for binding affinity to the target of interest using selective targeting methods. Once tight binding sequences are identified, the enzyme can be optimized for function and binding in an iterative fashion. Variant sequence repertoires In one embodiment, the variant sequences in the repertoire are chosen to have one or more desired traits, e.g.: a targeted enzyme comprising the variant sequence adopts a conformation that is homologous to that ofthe pre-targeted enzyme a targeted enzyme comprising the variant sequence retains its catalytic activity • a targeted enzyme comprising the variant sequence retains its stability, e.g., protease stabiUty the variant sequences in the repertoire have diverse chemical properties and/or shapes the variant sequences have low immunogenicity the variant sequences have known liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy (LC/MS) profiles, which simphfies the identification and/or characterization of individual variant sequences in a recombinant library or in subgroups of library members. In order to be useful, a library of protein mutants needs to contain at least one member with desirable and identifiable properties. One can increase the odds of finding a desired clone by increasing the library size. However, the size of a library can be limited by a variety of factors like transformation efficiency or the ability to screen or select. A more efficient way of increasing the odds of finding a desired clone is to increase the hit density of a library, i.e., the fraction of useful clones in the library. Recombining repertoires of variant sequences that have been pre-selected reduces the fraction of unstable variants in a recombinant library. In general, proteins vary in their tolerance to substitutions with residues close to the active site or in the conserved center of a protein being less tolerated than residues in outside loops. However, even outside residues of a protein that show little evolutionary conservation may not be freely substituted without some loss of protein stability. If one simultaneously replaces multiple residues of a protein, a significant fraction ofthe mutants may have impaired expression, secretion, stability or catalytic activity compared to the wildtype protein. See Axe, JMol Biol 301 :585 (2000). By recombining a plurality of segments, each of which in an otherwise wildtype protein has been found to result in a fully functional or nearly fully functional protein, then one significantly reduces the fraction of unstable, non-expressing or inactive mutants in a library. This is particularly the case if the various recombined segments do not directly interact with each other in the correctly folded protein. Furthermore, by recombining variant sequence repertoires one gains control over the structural and chemical diversity in the recombinant library. For instance, it has been observed that certain amino acids like Tyr and Asn are more abundant in the variable loops of natural antibodies as compared to their abundance in other proteins. It has been speculated these and some other amino acids are particularly suitable for recognition and discrimination. Similarly, one can affect the abundance of charged and hydrophobic residues in the variable segments by increasing the number of charged or hydrophobic residues in a segment to increase chemical and structural diversity. Typical random libraries contain many very similar clones. Consequently, if a Ubrary contains a clone with a desired property then it is likely to contain many other clones with similar functional and structural properties. This may actually confound the identification of desirable clones. An ideal library contains just a sufficient number of clones with desirable properties and few similar clones, i.e., it has a steep fitness distribution. In such a library one can frequently identify desirable clones by pooling sublibraries and measuring their properties. By using preselected variable segments, which differ widely in their properties one can create such libraries with "non-smooth" fitness distributions. Generation of variant sequence repertoires In one embodiment ofthe invention, the repertoires are derived from human sequences. This would reduce the potential to elicit an immune response. In addition, one could inspect known three-dimensional structures and synthesize all variant sequences that apparently can be accomodated by a variation-tolerant sequence of a pre-targeted enzyme. In another embodiment, one can replace a variation-tolerant sequence in a pre-targeted enzyme with a fully randomized or partially randomized sequence. Subsequently, one can screen and select for retention of enzyme function and stability and any other trait of importance. Alternatively, one can sequence the functional mutants and choose variant sequences ofthe repertoire based on their sequence considering one or more criteria as discussed above. This would enable one to create repertoires and not rely on purely random sequences. For instance one can avoid duplication of variant sequences, avoid variant sequences that have equal mass but different structure, which would be difficult to identify via mass spectroscopy, or choose variant sequences that differ widely in amino acid composition to maximize the diversity in the library. Location of variant sequences in the enzyme The variant sequences can be placed anywhere in the structure ofthe pre-targeted enzyme. Of particular interest are regions that can tolerate modification, and/or binding of a target to the modified region, without undesirably affecting the catalytic activity ofthe enzyme. A targeting site can comprise one or more variant sequences. In a prefeπed embodiment, the targeting site comprises several variant sequences, fri a more prefened embodiment, each ofthe variant sequences is separated from its neighboring variant sequences by one or more constant segments in the primary sequence ofthe enzyme, but is close to each ofthe other variant sequences in the folded protein. This aπangement will simplify recombination as one can introduce recombination sites into the constant segments. Furthermore, such an arrangement reduces the chance of direct interaction between the different variable segments. Variation-tolerant sequences can be, for example, single amino acids, or can sequences that are less than about 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 or 5 amino acid residues in length. Variant sequences can be, for example, between zero and about 50 amino acid residues. In a preferred embodiment, a variant sequence ranges from about zero to about 20, zero to ten, or three to 20 amino acid residues in length. "Zero" amino acid residues refers to a situation where a variation-tolerant sequence has been deleted. Potential variation-tolerant sequences and targeting sites can be identified by, e.g., comparing sequence alignments of homologous genes. Sequence regions that show a low degree of conservation are more likely to accommodate a variety of different segments compared to highly conserved regions ofthe sequence. Of particular interest are regions where natural homologs of a protein have insertions or deletions relative to each other. Potential variation-tolerant sequences and targeting sites also can be chosen, e.g., based on the known or predicted three-dimensional structure ofthe pre-targeted enzyme or its homologs. For instance one can align the three-dimensional stractures of several homologous proteins and identify regions in the structure that show significant variability in the side chains or in the conformation ofthe peptide backbone. Alternatively, one can identify regions ofthe structure that form a groove that can or could accommodate a target (i.e., a concave targeting sites). In other cases it may be advantageous to identify a region or regions that protrude away from the protein (i.e., a convex targeting sites). Solvent accessible loops also are potential variation-tolerant sequences in a pre- targeted enzyme. Solvent accessible loops can be identified, for example, based on their sequence and their location in the sequence of a pre-targeted enzyme or by examination ofthe known or predicted three-dimensional structure of the pre-targeted enzyme. Placement of variant sequences in β-lactamase: In another embodiment the present invention provides a targeted β-lactamase (BLA) enzyme, and methods of making and using targeted BLA enzymes, particularly in combination with a prodrug. BLA and tumor-specific antibody fragments have shown promising results in experiments testing the targeted release of cancer drugs. See Siemers et al, Bioconjug Chem 8:510 (1997). Inspection ofthe available crystal structure reveals a number of loops that are candidates for variation-tolerant sequences. Of particular interest, but by no means of only interest, are the following areas of the protein, which are surface accessible and not part of secondary structure elements: Q23- P26, A50-P56, G81-R105, G116-A127, P140-T146, L184-K193, Y203-S212, E241-D245, N275-A280, A294-K309. Constraction of variant sequence repertoires Figure 9 outlines the overaU process of generating variant sequence repertoires, recombining them, and generating a large plurality of enzyme variant which differ in the amino acid sequences that make up the targeting site ofthe enzyme. The resulting mixture of enzyme variants has to be searched to identify variants that bind the target of interest. This can be done by, for example, screening, mass spectroscopy, or phage display. One of skill in the art knows many methods for creating Ubraries of recombined variant sequences, including, but not limited to, those methods described below. Assembly of multiple restriction or PCR fragments: One isolates mixtures of nucleic acids that code for each variant sequence repertoire. These nucleic acids can be prepared by, e.g., PCR or by digestion of plasmid mixtures with restriction enzymes. In a prefeπed embodiment the nucleic acids are generated by digestion of plasmids with hapaxomers. Then one can mix the variant sequence repertoires and assemble full-length plasmids via ligation. Alternatively, one can isolate the individual variant sequences from each clone in the variant sequence repertoires and then mix them to create the library. This process requires the handling of many DNA samples but it allows one to control the relative abundance of each variant sequence in the library. Phoenix mutagenesis: Phoenix mutagenesis has been described as an approach to introduce mutations into a plasmid. See Berger et al, Anal Biochem 214:571 (1993). One can digest and reassemble a plasmid with high efficiency when using endonucleases that generate non-palindromic overhangs, i.e, hapaxomers. In the present invention, the procedure is modified to allow for the efficient recombination of variant sequence repertoires as illustrated in Figure 5. The starting plasmid will be designed such that the constant segments, which separate the variation-tolerant sequences, contain at least one recombination site that can be cleaved by a hapaxomer (indicated by vertical line) and each variation-tolerant sequence contains at least one unique restriction site (selection sites, indicated by circle). All recombination sites can be recognized by the same hapaxomer as long as the resulting overhangs differ between all recombination sites. Once the variant sequence repertoires have been generated the plasmids coding for the different repertoires are mixed and digested at their recombination sites. The resulting fragments can be ligated. Because all recombination sites have different overhangs most ofthe re-Ugated plasmids will contain the respective sequences in the same order as the starting plasmid. Subsequently, the ligation products can be cleaved at the selection sites. As a result, all ligation products that carry a wild type version of one or more variation-tolerant sequences will be cut into one or more linear fragments. Linear DNA molecules transform E. coli with a greatly reduced efficiency. Only ligation products wherein each variation-tolerant sequence originates from one ofthe variant sequence repertoires will remain circular and will transform E. coli with high efficiency. Library generation using conventional restriction enzyme cloning: After the variant sequence repertoires have been generated, regions that include the variant sequences can be cloned from one repertoire into another using conventional cloning methods. Recombining three or more repertoires requires the ligation of three or more fragments. This is inefficient when conventional restriction enzymes are used as the fragments can ligate in various order and in both orientations. However, one can increase the fraction of coπectly assembled plasmids by recombining the variable segments in an iterative process which includes multiple two-piece ligations. This process is illustrated in Figure 6. Other recombination methods: The individual variant sequence repertoires can be recombined using any ofthe available random recombination methods. Another way to recombine is to mix the plasmids encoding the various variant sequence repertoires and subject the mix to PCR using primers that sit outside of all variable segments. It is known that recombination occurs during conventional PCR. The frequency of recombination can be increased by applying very short extension times as described in Meyerhans et al, Nucleic Acids Res. 18:1687 (1990). Identification of modified enzymes that bind a target From the library one can produce a mixture of the protein of interest containing different combinations of variant sequences. Optionally, the mixture can be purified. Variants ofthe protein that bind to the target can be enriched by passing the mixture over a column or other device carrying the immobilized target. Alternatively, the mixture can be incubated with the target to bind variants of interest. In a prefened embodiment, the mixture is passed over an affinity column with the immobilized target and subsequently, the column is washed to remove variants with weak or moderate affinity for the target. To monitor the process the column can be washed with a solution containing a chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate and optionally a reversible inhibitor to monitor the amount of bound enzyme. This enables one to choose an appropriate washing duration. It is possible to remove library members with undesired affinities for antitargets. Antitargets are molecules or structures that the final protein should not bind to. This allows one to identify variants that bind to the target with high selectivity. The removal of variant that bind to antitargets can be accomplished by incubating the library or an enriched sub- tibrary with the antitarget. The antitarget can be immobilized to facilitate the process. If the target is bound to a carrier (e.g., resin, column, plastic or beads) during the affinity enrichment of binders then that carrier is likely to constitute an antitarget. The identity ofthe enriched variants can be determined using any known method. For example, the identify can be determined using mass spectrometry. This may require the elution ofthe bound protein or one can directly analyze the bound material. The identity of the bound protein also can be determined using a combination of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. To simplify the latter analysis one can determine the LC MS profile of the members ofthe variable segment repertoires. The MS or LC/MS analysis can be preceded by a proteolytic or chemical degradation step and the identity of the bound variants will then be deduced from the identity ofthe fragmentation products. Screening for binders via random pooling: The library can be split into a number of pools. All these pools can be assayed for their contents of binding variants. This measurement can be performed similar to ELISA using microtiter plates that have been coated with the target protein. As a result one determines the population or the populations that contain the strongest binders. Subsequently, the positive populations can be further divided and screened until individual clones can be identified which can then be sequenced. An alternative method of creating subpopulations is to individually construct the subpopulation such that all members of a subpopulation have one variable segment in common. By identifying the subpopulation that contains the best binder one will automatically have determined the nature of one variable fragment ofthe best binding variant. This deconvolution process can be repeated until the nature of all variable segments has been determined. This deconvolution strategy can be particularly useful if the binding assay has a relatively low throughput. Phage or other display: A variety of methods have been described where protein hbraries can be expressed on the surface of phage, cells, or ribosomes. These methods have in common that all library members carry the encoding DNA with them which can simpUfy the subsequent identification of binding variants. In one embodiment ofthe present invention, a targeted β-lactamase is creating by cloning a large population of β-lactamase mutants into the phagemid vector pCB04. The plasmids can then be introduced into the XL-1 blue cells through elecfroporation. After super-infection with helper phage, such as M13K07, the XL-1 blue cells will produce infectious phage particles with β-lactamase-piπ (phage minor coat protein) fusion protein on the surface and the conesponding pCB04 plasmid inside ofthe phage particle. The phage library can then be used to select specific binders for the targets. The method of bio-panning has been previously described in the literature (Barbas et al, Phage Display: A laboratory Manual Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (2001)). Briefly, the phage library is first incubated with anti-targets (anything other than the intended target) to deplete binders to the anti-targets. After the depletion step, the resulting library is incubated with the targets. The unbound phage particles are washed away with buffer, and the bound phage particles are recovered by either acid elution or protease digestion (Ward et al, J Immunol Methods, 1996, 189:73-82, Smith, Science, 1985 228: p. 1315-7, Smith et al, J Biol Chem, 1994269: 32788-95, Clackson, et al, Nature, 1991 352: 624-28). The phage elution is then used to infect fresh XL-1 blue cells, followed by helper phage super-infection to amplify the library. The secondary library is used for a second round of bio-panning. The same process can be reiterated for multiple times until a specific binding phage clone is identified. Once a library has been enriched for binders it can be transfened (by transformation or transfection) into a non-permissive host like TOP 10 cells (Invifrogen). In non-permissive hosts translation ofthe lactamase will stop after the His6 sequence. The resulting enriched library can be subjected to a high throughput screen to identify individual clones with affinity for the target of interest. METHODS OF USING TARGETED ENZYMES From the following, it will be clear to one of skill in the art that the targeted enzymes of this invention have many uses. For example, the enzymes can be used in the targeted release of prodrags into tissues that carry a particular marker (e.g. , an antigen or receptor). Alternatively, the enzymes can be included in an analytical reagent similar to enzyme- antibody conjugates but with increased stability and diffusion and lower cost. The enzymes can also be used as surface catalysts, for example, a targeted laccase. Other uses include, e.g., targeted generation of a compound (e.g., H 2 O 2 from glucose) and the targeted destruction of compounds (e.g., a metabolite or signalling molecule from a particular tissue). PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS The targeted enzymes, nucleic acids encoding them, and prodrags (also refened to herein as "active compounds") described herein can be incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration. Such compositions typically comprise the active compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. As used herein the language "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" is intended to include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absoφtion delaying agents, and the like, compatible with pharmaceutical administration. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active compound, use thereof in the compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active compounds can also be incorporated into the compositions. The invention includes methods for preparing pharmaceutical compositions for modulating the expression or activity of a targeted enzyme, prodrug (or its conesponding active drug) or nucleic acid of interest. Such methods comprise formulating a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier with an agent which modulates expression or activity of an active compound of interest. Such compositions can further include additional active agents. Thus, the invention further includes methods for preparing a pharmaceutical composition by formulating a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier with an agent that modulates expression or activity of a targeted enzyme, prodrug (or its corresponding active drug) or nucleic acid of interest and one or more additional active compounds. A pharmaceutical composition ofthe invention is formulated to be compatible with its intended route of administration. Examples of routes of administration include parenteral, e.g., intravenous, intradermal, subcutaneous, oral (e.g., inhalation), transdermal (topical), transmucosal, and rectal administration. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, or subcutaneous application can include the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl parabens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetefraacetic acid; buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose. pH can be adjusted with acids or bases, such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. The parenteral preparation can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic. Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EL™ (BASF; Parsippany, NJ) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and should be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyetheylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prevention ofthe action of microorganisms can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol, sorbitol, sodium chloride in the composition. Prolonged absoφtion ofthe injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absoφtion, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin. Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incoφorating the active compound in the required amount in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle which contains a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above, hi the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the prefeπed methods of preparation are vacuum drying and freeze-drying which yields a powder ofthe active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. Oral compositions generally include an inert diluent or an edible carrier. They can be enclosed in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. For the pwpose of oral therapeutic administration, the active compound can be incoφorated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches, or capsules. Oral compositions can also be prepared using a fluid carrier for use as a mouthwash, wherein the compound in the fluid carrier is apphed orally and swished and expectorated or swallowed. Pharmaceutically compatible binding agents, and/or adjuvant materials can be included as part ofthe composition. The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like can contain any ofthe following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or Sterotes; a glidant such as colloidal siUcon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring. For administration by inhalation, the compounds are delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from a pressurized container or dispenser which contains a suitable propeUant, e.g., a gas such as carbon dioxide, or a nebulizer. Systemic administration can also be by transmucosal or transdermal means. For transmucosal or transdermal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art, and include, for example, for transmucosal administration, detergents, bile salts, and fusidic acid derivatives. Transmucosal administration can be accomplished through the use of nasal sprays or suppositories. For transdermal administration, the active compounds are formulated into ointments, salves, gels, or creams as generally known in the art. The compounds can also be prepared in the form of suppositories (e.g., with conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter and other glycerides) or retention enemas for rectal delivery. In one embodiment, the active compounds are prepared with carriers that will protect the compound against rapid elimination from the body, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Methods for preparation of such formulations will be apparent to those skiUed in the art. The materials can also be obtained commercially from Alza Coφoration and Nova Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Liposomal suspensions (including Uposomes targeted to infected cells with monoclonal antibodies to viral antigens) can also be used as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These can be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,522,811. It is especially advantageous to formulate oral or parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of achninistration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subject to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the dosage unit forms ofthe invention are dictated by and directly dependent on the unique characteristics of the active compound and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active compound for the treatment of individuals. As defined herein, a therapeutically effective amount of a targeted enzyme (i.e., an effective dosage) is the amount ofthe targeted enzyme that is administered to a subject to produce a desired therapeutic effect in the subject. In the case of targeted enzymes to be used as part of targeted enzyme prodrug therapy applications, a therapeutically effective amount of the targeted enzyme is an amount sufficient to convert enough prodrug to active drug that a symptom ofthe disorder being treated is ameliorated. Typically, the amount of targeted enzyme to be delivered to a subject will depend on a number of factors, including, for example, the route of administration, the activity of the targeted enzyme, the degree to which it is specifically targeted to the desired cells, tissues or organs ofthe subject, the length of time required to clear the non-specifically bound targeted enzyme from the subject, the desired therapeutic effect, the body mass ofthe subject, the age ofthe subject, the general health ofthe subject, the sex ofthe subject, the diet ofthe subject, the subject's immune response to the targeted enzyme, other medications or treatments being administered to the subject, the severity ofthe disease and the previous or future anticipated course of treatment. For applications in which a prodrug also is administered, other factors affecting the determination of a therapeutically effective dose will include, for example, the amount of prodrug administered, the activity ofthe prodrug and its conesponding active drug, and the side effects or toxicities ofthe prodrug and the active drug. Examples of ranges of mass of targeted enzyme/mass of subject include, for example, from about 0.001 to 30 mg kg body weight, from about 0.01 to 25 mg/kg body weight, from about 0.1 to 20 mg/kg body weight, and from about 1 to 10 mg/kg, 2 to 9 mg kg, 3 to 8 mg kg, 4 to 7 mg/kg, or 5 to 6 mg/kg body weight. In a particular example, a subject is treated with a targeted enzyme in the range of between about 0.1 to 20 mg/kg body weight, one time per week for between about 1 to 10 weeks, preferably between 2 to 8 weeks, more preferably between about 3 to 7 weeks, and even more preferably for about 4, 5, or 6 weeks. It will also be appreciated that the effective dosage of targeted enzyme may increase or decrease over the course of a particular treatment. Changes in dosage may result and become apparent from the results of diagnostic assays as described herein. m one embodiment, administration of targeted enzyme is systemic. In another embodiment, administration of targeted enzyme is at or near the target to be bound. In an embodiment ofthe present invention, a prodrug also is administered to the subject. It is understood that appropriate doses of prodrugs depend upon a number of factors within the ken ofthe ordinarily skilled physician, veterinarian, or researcher. The dose(s) of the prodrag will depend, for example, on the same factors provided above as factors affecting the effective dose ofthe targeted enzyme. Exemplary doses include milligram or microgram amounts ofthe prodrag per kilogram of subject or sample weight (e.g., about 1 microgram per kilogram to about 500 milligrams per kilogram, about 100 micrograms per kilogram to about 5 milligrams per kilogram, or about 1 microgram per kilogram to about 50 micrograms per kilogram. It is furthermore understood that appropriate doses of a prodrug depend upon the potency ofthe prodrug with respect to the desired therapeutic effect. When one or more of these prodrugs is to be administered to an animal (e.g., a human), a physician, veterinarian, or researcher may, for example, prescribe a relatively low dose at first, subsequently increasing the dose until an appropriate response is obtained. The timing of administration of the prodrug is another important factor to be considered. Preferably, the targeted enzyme is administered to the subject, then the prodrug is administered. More preferably, the time between the administration ofthe targeted enzyme and administration ofthe prodrag is sufficient to allow the prodrug to accumulate at its target site by binding to its target, and to allow unbound targeted enzyme to be cleared from the non-targeted portions ofthe subject's body. Most preferably, the ratio of target-bound targeted enzyme to unbound targeted enzyme in the subject's body will be at or near its maximum when the prodrug is administered. The time necessary after administration ofthe targeted enzyme to reach this point is called the clearing time. The clearing time can be determined or approximated in an experimental system by, for example, administering a detectable targeted enzyme (e.g., a radiolabeled or fluorescently labeled targeted enzyme) to a subject and simultaneously measuring the amount of enzyme at the target site and at a non- targeted control site at timed intervals. For some prodrags, particularly those whose counteφart active drags are highly toxic, it may be more important to ensure that the levels of unbound targeted enzyme in the subject's system are below a certain threshold. This too can be determined experimentally, as described above. In one embodiment, administration ofthe prodrag is systemic. In another embodiment, administration ofthe prodrug is at or near the target to be bound. The pharmaceutical compositions can be included in a container, pack, dispenser or kit together with instructions for administration. EXAMPLES The following examples are submitted for illustrative puφoses only and should not be inteφreted as limiting the invention in any way. Example 1: Selection of variable loops in β-lactamase (BLA) This example demonstrates that variation-tolerant sequences in a β-lactamase can be identified and replaced with repertoires of variant sequences. The p99 β-lactamase of E. cloacae (pdb accession # 1BLS) has the sequence as illustrated in Figure 1 with the 20 amino acid residue pro-sequence deleted. This structure was inspected manually to identify residues that appeared to be on the surface and not involved in defined secondary structure and these residues are in bold. Active site residues are marked with *. Loops at amino acid residues 116 - 127, and 295 - 306 are in the vicinity ofthe active site. The structure was compared to a close homologue 1GCE (69% homology) and there was no structural divergence at 1.5 A. The structure was also compared to a remote homologue 1PTE (20% homology). The regions that were structurally unconserved are marked in italics. Various insertions and deletions are allowed based on this homology. Loop Modeling: The variable loops of an antibody (1 SM3) to a tumor antigen peptide were modeled onto p99. This was unsuccessful due to the differing topology ofthe two molecules. P99 was then inspected for potential loop variable and loop insertion sites based on the approximate distances apart and structural motifs of 1SM3 heavy chain. The antibody CDRs all form connecting strands between β-sheets. The distance between the 3 loops in 1SM3.H are 4 - 9 A and 6 - 10 A, depending where the measurements are made. The following loops were picked as possible variation-tolerant sequences in P99 (see Figure 1): Loop A: Between residue Y34 and K37. Twelve residues ofthe 14 from CDR2 of 1 SM3 were modeled in. The modeling indicated that 5 - 12 residues be engineered into this region. Loo B: BetweenN302 and S311. Nine residues ofthe 10 from the extended CDR1 of 1SM3 were modeled in. The modeling indicated that 7-10 residues be engineered into this region (i.e. minimal resultant loop length change). Residues 297 - 302 (with the exception of 298 which has a buried side-chain) were also indicated to be amenable to change. Loop C: Between residues P330 and Q333. Six residues ofthe 7 from CDR3 of 1SM3 were modeled in. The modeling indicated that 5 - 8 residues be engineered into this region. Two other extended regions are on the same face as Loops A, B and C that are amenable to change: Loop D, between residue E241 and L248, and Loop E, between residues M273 and A280. It is indicated that 6 - 10 residues be engineered into these regions. Loops A, B, and C interact (-8-10A), A, C, and D interact (14 A without insertion into D), and B, C, and E interact (10 A without insertion into D). Residues 279-309 are deleted in the homologous (dipeptidase) structure 1PTE. Construction of a Synthetic BLA Gene: The plasmid pK1841 was constructed from pK184 (see Jobling et al (1990) Nucleic Acids Res 18: 5315-6) by deleting its lacZ gene and introducing EcoRI and Sail restriction sites using a PCR-based method. A portion of pK184 was amplified using the primers: 1841F: GGGCCCGGACATCCAAAGCTTGTCGACAGGAAQCGGAACACGTAGAAAGC 1841R: AAGCTTTGGATGTCCGGGCCCGAATTCGTGTGAAATTGTTATCCGCTCAC Two μl of each primer (25 μM) were combined with 10 μl lOx pfu buffer, 3 μl dNTP (10 mM), 2 μl pK184, 2 μl pfu TURBO™ and 80 μl H 2 0 (all reagents and enzymes from Stratagene, La Jolla, CA). The reaction was run through 16 cycles, wherein each cycle consisted of 30s at 95°C, 1 min at 55°C and 6 min at 68°C. Then 1 μl oiDpnl (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) was added to the PCR products to digest template DNA. Five μl ofthe resulting mix was used to transform 50 μl of chemical competent TOP 10 cells (I vitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and the transformation plated on LA+50ppm Kan plates. The plates were incubated at 37 °C overnight. Eight colonies were picked and plasmids isolated using a Qiagen mimprep kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). The isolated plasmids were run on 1.2% agarose e-gel (Invitrogen) in parallel with pK184 and two of them were confirmed by sequencing. These were named pKl 841. pTDS004 (Figure 7) was constructed by subcloning a synthetic AmpC gene from pPCRSCRIPT™ (Aptagen, Herndon, VA) into pKl 841. The synthetic AmpC gene encodes the amino acid sequence ofthe E. cloacae P99 ampC gene, but it has unique restriction sites between the variable loops. In particular, type US enzymes were chosen which generate non- palindromic overhangs. No amino acid changes were introduced. In separate reactions, 2 μg each of pK1841 and pPCRSCRIPT™-AmpC were digested with 20 units of EcoRI and Sail (Roche) in 50 μl at 37 ° C for two hours. Digests were run on 1.2% e-gel, and a 2.1 kb fragment from pK1841 and a 1.2 kb fragment from the pPCRSCRIPT™ AmpC gene were gel purified using the Qiagen gel purification kit. One- hundred μg of digested vector pK1841 was ligated with 120 ng insert from pPCRSCRTPT™- AmpC using Takara ligase (Panvera, Madison, WI) at 16° C overnight. Five μl of ligation mix was used to transform 50 μl chemical competent TOP10 cells (Invifrogen), and plated on LA+50ppm Kan and LA + 50ppm Kan + 0.5ppm cefotaxime (CTX, Sigma, St. Louis, MO). The plates were incubated at 37° C overnight. Six colonies were picked from LA + 50ppm Kan plates, and plasmids were isolated using a Qiagen miniprep kit. HindM and BamHL were used to digest plasmid to determine which colonies had the conect plasmid constraction. A typical digest was done using 0.2 μg plasmid and 2.5 units of each enzyme in a volume of 20 μl and incubating at 37° C for 1 hr. Conect plasmids gave bands of 2.3 kb and 1 kb fragment on an e-gel. Two apparently conect plasmids were confirmed by sequencing and named pTDS004. pTDS004 contains a P lac promoter and the native ampC promoter in front ofthe ampC coding sequence. As a control an equivalent plasmid was constructed carrying the wild-type nucleotide sequence of E. cloacae ampC. When grown in LB medium strains carrying both plasmids produced similar amounts of nitrocefin activity, which indicates that the synthetic gene is fully functional. A two-step cloning strategy was developed which allows randomization of individual loops while minimizing the fraction of unmutated vector in the resulting populations. In the first step, a stuffer sequence was introduced that contained at least one stop codon and two Bbs I sites. The stuffer sequence used should provide restriction sites and lead to inactivation ofthe gene via, for example, frame shifts or stop codons. In the second step, the stuffer was cut with Bbs I and a synthetic cassette containing partially randomized oligonucleotides was inserted. The process is illustrated in Figure 8 and this scheme was used to modify loops A, B, C, and D. In all cases between 10 4 and 10 7 transformants were obtained. Oligonucleotides: The following oligonucleotides were used to modify each loop. In addition to the standard nucleotide abbreviations, N denotes an equimolar mix of A, C, G and T; D denotes an equimolar mix of A, G, and T; H denotes an equimolar mix of A, C, and T; S denotes an equimolar mix of C and G.

The vector and insert mixture was brought up to 10 μl using Tris pH 8.5, 10 μl of Takara Solution I (Panvera, Madison, WI) was added and the mixture was annealed at 16° C for four hrs in a MJ research PCR machine (Waltham, MA). A vector-only control was set up the same way using the 3.2 kb fragment and Tris pH 8.5 up to ten μl and adding ten μl of Takara Solution I. Ligation reactions were purified using the DNA Clean & Concentrator kit (Zymo Research, Orange, CA). DNA was eluted from columns in two spins, using six μl of water each time (10-12 μl total). Five μl of purified ligation was transformed into 50 μl of Top 10 electrocompetent cells (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and recovered in 250 μl SOC for onehr. The same was done for the control. Half of transformation was plated on large LA + 50ppm Kan plate, the other half on LA + 0.5ppm CTX. No colonies were expected to grow on CTX because the insert should disrupt the gene. Plates were incubated overnight at 37° C. Four colonies were picked from LA + 50ppm Kan plates and grown overnight in five ml LB + 50ppm Kan. Miniprep DNA was made from the cultures. Pure DNA from each clone was digested with Bbsl (2 sites contained in insert) to identify the coπect construct. All eight clones contained the insert of interest, one was confirmed by sequencing, and this construct was named pME17. Library construction: 2.5 μg of pME17 was 20-fold overdigested with ten μl Bbsl in a 100 μl reaction, creating one 3267 bp fragment and one 75 bp fragment. The 3.2kb fragment was gel purified form a 1% agarose gel using the Qiagen purification kit. Library insert of annealed oligonucleotides was prepared exactly as described above.

DNA was mixed together and brought up to 10 μl using Tris pH 8.5. A vector alone control was also set up substituting Tris for insert volume. Ten μl of Takara Solution I was added, and reactions incubated overnight at 16° C in MJ research machine. Overnight ligations were purified with DNA Clean & Concentrator kit and DNA was eluted in two spins, 6 μl water each (10-12.) Five μl (approximately 27 ng) of each purified ligation was transformed into 50 μl Top 10 electrocompetent cells, and recovered in 250 μl SOC for 1 hour. Transformations for both library and control were plated undiluted (50 μl, orl/6 transformation volume), diluted 1/10, and diluted 1/100 on both LA + 50ppm Kan and LA + 0.5ppm CTX large plates. The transformation mixture was spread using 10-15 glass beads per plate. Plates incubated overnight at 37° C. The total number of colony forming units obtained was 2.6xl0 4 for LA( 50 ppm kan) and 2.5xl0 4 for LA( 0.5 ppm CTX). Since one transformation yielded approximately 30,000 active colonies (on LA + 50ppm Kan + 0.5ppm CTX plates) this process was scaled up so four transformations were performed to yield approximately 100,000 colonies on Kan + CTX plates. The 22 resulting LA + 50ppm Kan + 0.5ppm CTX plates from the four transformations were scraped using 2ml LB + 50ppm Kan per plate and a cell scraper. Total diversity was 2.0 E +05. Scraped colonies from each plate were pooled together, and 36ml total volume was recovered. Optical density was measured at OD 600 and 15ml of 50% glycerol was added to pooled colonies for a final 15% glycerol concentration. Two ml aliquots were frozen at -80° C. Constraction of pAL16P (primary library): Construction of pTDS004BS, B loop stuffer plasmid: pTDS004BS was constracted using the same method as for as pME17, the A loop stuffer, with the following modifications: Nhel and BamΗl was used to cut pTDS004 and a 3246bp fragment was gel purified.

For the construction of pAL16P we also tested a method where the inserted region is comprised of three oligos. The 3 oligos are: LB_A116-1 d (above) LB anneall: ATTCACTTCTGCCACGGGCAACGGCGCA LB_anneal2: TAGAGCCAGTTTTATGGACCCAGGA Oligos LB_anneall and LB_anneal2 can anneal with the ends of oligo LB_A116-1. In the annealing reaction, 1.5 fold more LB_anneall and LB_anneal2 were used relative to LB_A116-1. After ligation, Klenow fragment and dNTPs were added to the ligation mixture to fill in the 42bp gap on the plasmid at 37° C for two hrs. This approach resulted in about twofold more transformants compared to the protocol where only two oligos were used for insertion. The resulting library was grown on LA plates containing 0.5 ppm CTX to select variants that exhibited BLA activity. Nintey-six clones were randomly chosen and submitted for DNA sequencing. Eighty-nine clones gave inteφretable sequences. Eighty-seven clones exhibited sequences that were expected to be in the library. Two clones had frame shifts, which were likely the result of sequencing enors. The sequences below represent an example of 10 sequences obtained from library pAL16P. The 14 random positions ofthe B loop are highlighted. The first line ofthe alignment shows the sequence ofthe wild-type BLA.

The construction of pAL18P was similar as pAL16P by starting with the same stuffer plasmid pTDS004BS. However, the synthetic insert was encompassed the following three oligonucleotides: LB_6K7: CGCTTGCGCCGTTGCCCGTGGCAGAAGTGAATSHGDHCSNGDHCSNGDHCAAGDHCSNGDHCSNGDHCSNGDHCTCC (cont'd) TGGGTCCATAAAACTGGC LB_anneall: ATTCACTTCTGCCACGGGCAACGGCGCA LB__anneal2: TAGAGCCAGTTTTATGGACCCAGGA During ligation the oligonucleotide LB 6K7 was used in 5 fold excess relative to the cut vector and the oUgonucleotides LB_anneall and LB_anneal2 were used in 7.5 fold excess relative to the cut vector. After ligation, Klenow (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) and dNTPs (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) were added in concentrations recommended by the manufacturer in order to fill in the 42 bp gap in the plasmid at 37° C for two hrs. Subsequently, the DNA was purified and transformed into TOP 10 cell as described for Ubrary pME20P. The total number of active clones was 2.4e5 on LA+0.5ppm CTX. Constraction of pME27P (recombined library): Two ml of frozen pME20P library was grown in 100ml of LB + 50ppm Kan in a 1 liter flask and shaken at 37° C for 4 hours. The same was done for the pAL16P library. DNA was purified using Qiagen miniprep kit, and five μg of each library was digested with BgH and DrάHl simultaneously overnight at 37° C. Digest produces two bands, one 2.6 kb, the other 660 bp. The 2.6 kb piece was taken from Loop B Ubrary, and the 660 bp piece was taken from the Loop A library. A second digest was performed on the loop B library with enzymes located within the 660 bp piece in case of incomplete digestion, eliminating possible background from linear DNA. Both MIul and Sphl were added to the digest and incubated overnight at 37° C. Digests were run out on a 1% gel and 660 bp fragment from Loop A Ubrary and 2.6 kb fragment from Loop B library were gel purified using a Qiagen gel purification kit. DNA was eluted in 50 μl water. Using the 660 bp band from the Loop A Ubrary, and the 2.6 kb band from the Loop B library, the two fragments were ligated together in a 1 :4 vector : insert ratio. 145 ng of 2640 bp fragment and 36.25 ng of 660 bp fragment were combined and the volume was brought up to 10 μl with Tris pH 8.5. A vector only control (2.6 kb fragment) was set up in the same manner, substituting Tris for insert volume. 10 μl of Takara Solution one was added to each mixture, and ligations were incubated at 16° C overnight in MJ PCR machine. Overnight ligations were purified using the DNA Clean & Concentrator kit. DNA was eluted in two spins, eight μl each spin (14-16 μl). Five μl (30 ng) of both library and control ligations was transformed into 50 μl of Top 10 electrocompetent cells, recovered in 250 μl SOC, shaken at 37° C for one hour. Both transformations were plated 50 μl (1/6 transformation) straight, 10-1, and 10-2 on large LA + lOppmKan and LA +0.5ppm CTX and incubated overnight at 37° C. The total number of colony forming units obtained was 6xl0 5 for LA( 50 ppm kan) and 6.6x 10 4 for LA( 0.5 ppm CTX). Construction of pME30P (re-recombined library): The recombination as described for pME27P resulted in a significant number of clones not resistant to CTX indicating that some ofthe recombinants did not yield a fully functional enzyme. Therefore, the plasmid mixture encoding pME27P was cleaved and re-ligated to generate novel combinations between the variant sequences contained in pME27. The process of re-recombination is very efficient because there was no need to purify the plasmid fragments after digestion, which avoids loss, and the molar ratio between the restriction fragments is exactly one to one which favors complete re-ligation. This example re-recombined two variant segment repertoires but the process can be applied for a larger number of variant segments. One ml of frozen pME27P library was thawed and grown between two 250ml LB + lOppm Kan cultures in IL shake flasks for 4-5 hours at 37° C. Cultures were spun down, and pellets used for Qiagen maxiprep to obtain pure library DNA. 250ng of library DNA was digested with Dram and BgH (same enzymes used to create pME27P) in a 20 μl reaction. A control was also set up using the same amount of DNA, but to which ligase was not added. Both digests were incubated at 37° C overnight. Five μl ofthe reactions were run on a 1.2% agarose e-gel to confirm digestion, then enzymes were heat inactivated at 65° C for 20 min. To the remaining 15 μl ofthe digests, 15 μl of Takara ligase Solution I was added to one digest, and 15 μl Tris pH 8.5 added to the control. Reactions were incubated overnight in MJ PCR machine at 16° C. Overnight Ugations were selected again by digesting with Nhe I and EcoRV, because these sites should be destroyed when either A or B Ubrary fragment are both present in the vector. This step eliminates wild-type background. Ligations were digested at 37° C for 3.5 hours. Ligations were purified using the DNA Clean & Concentrator kit. DNA was eluted in two spins, eight μl each spin (14-16 μl.) The library and control were both transformed by adding five μl (22ng) to 50 μl of Top 10 electrocompetent cells, recovering in 250 μl SOC for one hr, and 100 μl (1/6 of transformation) of 10-land 10-2 dilutions were plated on large LA + 0.2ρρm CTX. 20 μl (1/30) was plated on small LA + lOppm Kan plates. All plates incubated overnight at 37° C. Remaining transformation was frozen down at -80° C with 50% glycerol. The total number of colony forming units obtained was 1.5xl0 6 for LA( 50 ppm kan) and 1.6xl0 6 for LA( 0.5 ppm CTX). Modifications of loops A, B or D led to a large fraction of variants that still confeπed resistance to cefotaxime (5-50%). Modification of loop C led to inactive variants. Table 1 lists some ofthe constracted loop Ubraries. TABLE 1 (a) This library contains limited diversity. Some positions allow only 8 different amino acids and other positions allow 9 amino acids. Position 7 is lysine only. This library facilitates sequencing of enriched clones by mass spectrometry. (b) Two Ubraries, pAL16P and pME20P, were recombined. This library contains variants which differ from each other in 22 positions. (c) The percentage of total clones that have a functional β-lactamase gene was determined either by isolating random clones and testing growth on ctx-agar or by plating Ubraries on agar containing an antibiotic that selects for the presence ofthe vector and in parallel on agar containing the same antibiotic and ctx. (d) This column indicates the randomized variation-tolerant sequence (loop A, B, D) and how many positions were randomized (indicated by the number following the loop designation) . (e) This library was made by re-recombining loops A and B from pME27P. Ninety-six clones from most libraries were sequenced to validate the mutagenesis procedure and to identify bias which could result from the oligonucleotide synthesis, the cloning procedure, and antibiotic selection. Greater than 500 clones from various libraries were sequenced, and it was observed that between 50-95% ofthe sequences conformed with the expected randomization scheme. Recombining variation-tolerant sequence A and B repertoires yielded between 6 and 33% functional genes. Ten variants were randomly isolated from this population and it was confirmed that 9 ofthe 10 variants contained variant sequences in both the A and B positions. This is evidence that the generation of libraries of variants containing several variant sequences can be achieved. Example 2 - Expression and Purification of BLA. This example demonstrates that milligram quantities of targeted β-lactamase BLA) molecules made according to the invention can be expressed and purified. Enzyme production was tested from 10 BLA variants that were chosen from the libraries pAL14P and pME20P. Some ofthe variants result in low BLA production at 37° C. This may be caused by proteolytic degradation. All clones produced at least 50% activity compared to the wild-type strain when the variants were grown at 25° C. Therefore most mutants, which confer ctx resistance, can produce sufficient enzyme for further analysis and to identify desired targeting characteristics. Example 3: Affinity Enrichment of Streptavidin-binding BLA Variants This example demonstrates that the methods ofthe mvention can be used to created targeted β-lactamase enzymes that retain catalytic activity. Preparation of Samples Library Production: A 250 ml flasks filled with Terrific Broth (12 g/1 bactotryptone, 24 g/1 bacto yeast extract, 4 ml glycerol, 17 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 72 mM K 2 HPO 4 ) + 50 ppm Kanamycin, was inoculated with a scraping of a frozen stock ofthe pAL16Pl library, serially diluted 1/26 and 1/676, and grown at 25 °C, shaking at 280 φm. Multiple dilutions were done to ensure proper harvest time at the initiation of stationary phase. Optical density was measured at 600 nm at 18 hours (measured 23.8). The remaining volume ( ~21 ml) was harvested by centrifuging at 7k m (~4k gravity) for 20 minutes and the supernatant fraction decanted. The pellet was resuspended in 4 ml buffer A (20% sucrose (m/v), 200 mM triethaolamine, 100 mM EDTA, pH = 7) and rotated for 20 mintues at 4° C to begin osmotic shock ofthe periplasmic space. The sample was centrifuged again at 7k φ and the supernatant fraction decanted. The pellet was resuspended in 4 ml buffer B (20 mM triethanolamine, 0.5 M NaCl, pH = 7) and rotated for 20 minutes. The supernatant fraction was collected. The wild type β-lactamase was produced using the same protocol. Library Purification: An affinity-based purification was used. The chosen resin is specific to the active site of β-lactamases. A five ml column of p-aminophenylboronic acid linked to an agarose resin (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, Cat. No. A 8530) using a 14 cm, 20 ml max bed polypropylene BIO-RAD™ column (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, Cat. No. 732-1010). The column was filled and packed with the supplied porous frit to -3.5 ml. The column was conditioned with 10 ml 1 M NaCl, 0.5 M Sorbitol, pH = 7, then 10 ml 0.5 M Borate, pH = 7, and finally 10 ml 20 mM triethanolamine, 0.5 M NaCl, pH = 7. The column was stored in this buffer. The fluid reservoir was drained prior to purification. 3.5 ml ofthe periplasmic product was loaded onto the column, which was then allowed to drain completely. The column was washed with 3.5 ml of 20 mM triethanolamine, 0.5 M NaCl, pH = 7 loading buffer completely drained. Bound protein was eluted with 3.5 ml 0.5 M Borate and fractions were collected. The column was reconditioned with an additional volume ofthe same buffer. Finally, >5 ml 20 mM triethanolamine, 0.5 M NaCl, pH = 7 loading buffer was flowed through the column, which was then stored. The concentration of each ofthe collected fractions was determined in the elution fraction and the β-lactamase activity measured using the nitrocefin substrate (Oxoid BR0063A) in the standard protocol: A substrate solution containing PBS (phosphate buffered saline); 1.25 g/1 n-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, 100 mg/l nitrocefin and 1 g/1 DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) was used. The reaction was monitored at 25 ° C in microtiter plates containing a total volume of 210 μl per well. The absorbance at 486 nm was monitored using a Molecular Devices (Sunnyvale, CA) plate reader. The assay was calibrated using a purified sample of BLA and based on its absorbance at 280 nm. In this assay, one unit of activity is defined as the amount of BLA activity that produces a rate of 1 mO.D. 280 /rnin. Wild-type BLA from E. cloacae has a specific activity of 3.6 U/ng protein. The library and the purified wild-type β-lactamase stock were run on a PAGE-gel to visualize purity. Total yield was ~100 μg purified Ubrary. The library was then tested for binding to streptavidin, a molecule not bound by wild type β-lactamase. Equipment: Two Amersham Pharmacia HiTrap Streptavidin HP, 1 ml columns (Cat. No. 17-5112-01) with the included fittings were used. A Rainin DYNAMAX™ peristaltic pump (RP-1) (Rainin, Emeryville, CA) with a multi-channel head was used to drive both colums with appropriate gauge Rainin tubing for the desired flow rate. Two Pharmacia circular fraction collectors (Frac-100) were used for sample collection. Method: The chromatography apparatus was constructed such that there would be minimal delay between sample injection and column loading and with negligible post-column dead-space. A valve was inserted to switch between sample loading and flow. 500 μl of a 21 mg/l stock of both the purified pAL16Pl library and WT β-lactamase were injected into the flow line at approximately lml/min for a total loading amount of 10.5 μg, followed by the sample with 500 μl ofthe running buffer from the same syringe. The valve was reset the system run at ~ 1 ml hr (1.89 φm in this system). A one ml fraction was collected each hour. Fractions were assayed for β-lactamase activity using the nitrocefin substrate. 300 μl ofthe first ten fractions were serially diluted at 0.4x from 1 to 1.7e-5. A 180 μl sample was assayed with 20 μl substrate (1.8 mg/ml (3.5 mM) in 0.125% n-Octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside in Phosphate-buffered Saline). Samples past fraction nine had no detectable activity. Results: The activity values were calculated relative to the activity ofthe samples that were loaded into the column and are given in Table 2. TABLE 2 Fraction WT pAL16Pl 1 4.18% 1.87% 2 36.56% 17.83% 3 21.31% 18.88% 4 1.49% 8.85% 5 0.04% 6.44% 6 0.00% 1.14% 7 0.00% 0.43% 8 0.00% 0.02% 9 0.00% 0.00% These results demonstrate that the library of modified β-lactamase enzymes encoded by pAL16Pl comprises targeted enzymes that, unlike wild type β-lactamase, bind to a target, streptavidin, and so elute in later fractions than the wild type β-lactamase, yet retain their catalytic activity. Construction of a β-lactamase Phage Library: The following example describes the successful generation of a BLA phage library comprising BLA enzymes modified within variation tolerant sequences. A gene encoding the p99 β-lactamase was subcloned into phagemid vector pCB04 to create ρCB04WT. See Figure 10. pCB04 was used to make the PCB04-BL14 library as follows: A synthetic BLA gene containing the B-loop stuffer fragment was cloned into pCB04 between the Spel and Aval sites. The clone was digested with Bbsl, and the vector fragment was purified by gel electrophoresis. The library was generated as described above for the pAL16P library. The ligated DNA was then purified and used to transform XL- IF' blue cells. A fraction ofthe transformed cells was plated onto agar plates containing either five mg ml CMP or 5 mg/ml CMP + 0.1 mg/ml CTX. The percentage of active clones was similar to that of pAL16P library. The diversity ofthe library was calculated based on the total number of active clones on the 5 mg/ml CMP + 0.1 mg/ml CTX plate. The rest ofthe transformed cells were cultured for 6 hr at 37° C in the presence of five mg ml CMP, 10 mg ml tetracycline, and 0.1 mg ml CTX with shaking. The cell density was determined by spectrometer (OD^). The cells were then infected with 10 times more M13K07 helper phage (Invifrogen) and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C without shaking. The total culture volume was then brought up to 250 ml with fresh LB media. The final antibiotic concentration was also adjusted to 5 mg/ml CMP, 10 mg/ml tetracycline, and 0.1 mg/ml CTX. The culture was incubated at 23 °C for 48 hr with shaking. The phage preparation and subsequent titering were done using the protocol of Barbas et al, Phage Display: A Laboratory Manual, 2001, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press.

A method of ameliorating a symptom of a disease in a subject in need of symptom amelioration, comprising a) administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount ofthe targeted enzyme of one of Claims 1, 2 or 7-12 for a time sufficient to allow the targeted enzyme to bind a target; and b) administering an amount of said prodrug to said subject such that a sufficient amount of said prodrag is converted to an active drag that a symptom ofthe disease is ameliorated. 16. The method of Claim 15, wherein the targeted enzyme cleaves said prodrug to release the active drug. 17. The method of Claim 15, wherein the targeted enzyme has a molecular weight of less than about 45,000 Daltons. 18. The method of Claim 15, wherein the targeted enzyme does not act directly on the prodrag. 19. The method of Claim 15, wherein the targeted enzyme is a β-lactamase. 20. The method of Claim 15, wherein the targeted enzyme is a protease. 21. The method of Claim 15, wherein the disease is a cell proliferative disorder, an autoimmune disease, or an infectious disease. 22. The method of Claim 21, wherein the cell proliferative disorder is a cancer. 23. The method of Claim 13 , wherein the prodrug is a cephalosporin. 24. The method of Claim 13, wherein the drug is a chemotherapeutic drug. 25. The method of Claim 13 , wherein the targeted enzyme has a modification and an decreased host immune response relative to that of a conesponding unmodified targeted enzyme. 26. The method of Claim 13, wherein the targeted enzyme is less than about 45,000 Daltons. 27. The method of Claim 13, wherein the targeted enzyme is administered systemically. 28. The method of Claim 13, wherein the target is a cell surface molecule. 29. The method of Claim 28, wherein the cell surface molecule is a tumor cell surface molecule.
