  1. 1
    CLAIMS:1. A modified PH20 polypeptide, comprising one or more amino acid modifications in an unmodified PH20 polypeptide, wherein: modifications comprise one or more of amino acid replacements, deletions, and insertions;the modified PH20 polypeptide comprises an amino acid replacement at a position corresponding to residue 313, with reference to amino acid positions set forth in SEQ ID NO:3;the replacement at the position corresponding to residue 313 is selected from among A, G, H, K, P, R, T, and Y;and corresponding amino acid positions are identified by alignment of the PH20 polypeptide with the polypeptide having the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:3;the unmodified PH20 polypeptide consists of the sequence of amino acids set forth in any of SEQ ID NOs: 3, 7, and 32-66;and the modified PH20 polypeptide has at least 91% sequence identity to the sequence of amino acids set forth as SEQ ID NO: 3, 7, or 32-66.
  2. 5
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of any of claims 1-4, wherein the replacement at the position corresponding to residue 313 is K.
  3. 6
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of claim any of claims 1-5, wherein:the unmodified PH20 polypeptide consists of the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:32 or SEQ ID NO:35;and the modified PH20 polypeptide has at least 95% sequence identity with the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:32 or SEQ ID NO:35.
  4. 7
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of any of claims 1-6, wherein the unmodified PH20 polypeptide consists of the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:32 or SEQ ID NO:35.
  5. 8
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of any of claims 1-7, wherein the hyaluronidase activity of the modified PH20 polypeptide is at least 120% of the hyaluronidase activity compared to the unmodified PH20 polypeptide not containing the amino acid replacement or replacements.
  6. 9
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of any of claims 1-8, comprising the sequence of amino acids set forth in any of SEQ ID NOs:591-598, or a sequence of amino acids that exhibits at least 91% sequence identity to the sequence of amino acids set forth in any of SEQ ID NOs: 591-598 and that contains an amino acid replacement at the residue corresponding to residue 313 with reference to SEQ ID NO:3.
  7. 11
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of any of claims 1-10 that comprises one or more of a modification selected from among glycosylation, sialylation, albumination, farnesylation, carboxylation, hydroxylation, and phosphorylation.
  8. 12
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of any of claims 1-11 that comprises an N- acetylglucosamine moiety linked to each of at least three asparagine (N) residues.
  9. 13
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of any of claims 1-12 that is conjugated to a polymer.
  10. 15
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of any of claims 1-14, comprising a signal sequence.
  11. 17
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of any of claims 1-16, comprising the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:594, or a sequence of amino acids that exhibits at least 95% sequence identity to the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:594 and that contains the amino acid replacement K at the residue corresponding to residue 313 with reference to SEQ ID NO:3.
  12. 18
    The modified PH20 polypeptide of any one of claims 1-17 that is modified by conjugation to a moiety selected from among a multimerization domain, a toxin, a detectable label, and a drug.
  13. 20
    A chimeric polypeptide, comprising the modified PH20 polypeptide of any of claims 1-19.
  14. 21
    A nucleic acid molecule, encoding the modified PH20 polypeptide of any one of claims 1-19.
  15. 31
    The pharmaceutical composition of any of claims 25-30, for use in treating a hyaluronan-associated disease or disorder, or for use for treating a tumor or cancer, or for use in delivering a therapeutic agent to a subject.
