Conformational Correction Mechanisms Aiding Antigen Recognition by a Humanized Antibody

The crystal structure of the complex between hen egg lysozyme and the Fv fragment of a humanized antilysozyme antibody was determined to 2.7-A resolution. The structure of the antigen combining site in the complex is nearly identical to that of the complexed form of the parent mouse antibody, D1.3. In contrast, the combining sites of the unliganded mouse and humanized antilysozymes show moderat...

Antibody evolution constrains conformational heterogeneity by tailoring protein dynamics.

The evolution of proteins with novel function is thought to start from precursor proteins that are conformationally heterogeneous. The corresponding genes may be duplicated and then mutated to select and optimize a specific conformation. However, testing this idea has been difficult because of the challenge of quantifying protein flexibility and conformational heterogeneity as a function of evo...

Antigen recognition by conformational selection.

Conformational adaptation between antigen and antibody can modulate the antibody specificity. The phenomenon has often been proposed to result from an 'induced fit', which implies that the binding reaction induces a conformational change in the antigen and the antibody. Thus, an 'induced fit' requires initial complex formation followed by a conformational change in the complex. However, an anti...

Antigen Recognition and Antibody Specificity

The exact specifiicity of anti-DNP antibody produced by Hartley guinea pigs immunized with a series of defined alpha,DNP and epsilon,DNP-oligolysines was studied by fluorescence quenching. All responder animals made anti-DNP antibody which recognized the precise chain length, +/- 1 lysyl residue, of the DNP-oligolysines used to induce the immune response as measured by an increase in binding en...

Extensive Conformational Heterogeneity within Protein Cores

Basic principles of statistical mechanics require that proteins sample an ensemble of conformations at any nonzero temperature. However, it is still common to treat the crystallographic structure of a protein as the structure of its native state, largely because high-resolution structural characterization of protein flexibility remains a profound challenge. To assess the typical degree of confo...
