Functional antibody lacking a variable-region disulfide bridge.
In 1981, Auffray et al. [Auffray, C., Sikorav, J. L., Ollo, R. & Rougeon, F. (1981) Ann. Immunol. (Inst. Pasteur) 132D, 77-88] reported a partial cDNA sequence of the heavy chain from the ABPC48 plasmacytoma whose protein product had previously been shown to bind bacterial and grass levan. In the cDNA sequence the second half-cystine of the heretofore invariant disulfide bridge had been replace...
متن کاملThe nature of antibody heavy chain residue H6 strongly influences the stability of a VH domain lacking the disulfide bridge.
Monoclonal antibody mAb 03/01/01, directed against the musk odorant traseolide, carries a serine residue instead of the conserved Cys H92 in the heavy chain variable domain, and is thus lacking the highly conserved disulfide bridge. We investigated the energetic consequence of restoring the disulfide bond and the nature of residue H6 (Glu or Gln), which is poised to interact with Ser H92 in the...
متن کاملRosettaAntibody: antibody variable region homology modeling server
The RosettaAntibody server (http://antibody.graylab.jhu.edu) predicts the structure of an antibody variable region given the amino-acid sequences of the respective light and heavy chains. In an initial stage, the server identifies and displays the most sequence homologous template structures for the light and heavy framework regions and each of the complementarity determining region (CDR) loops...
متن کاملThe disulfide bonds in antibody variable domains: effects on stability, folding in vitro, and functional expression in Escherichia coli.
The formation of the disulfide bonds in the variable domains VH and VL of the antibody McPC603 was found to be essential for the stability of all antigen binding fragments investigated. Exposure of the Fv fragment to reducing conditions in vitro resulted in irreversible denaturation of both VH and VL. In vitro refolding of the reduced Fv fragment was only possible when the disulfide bonds were ...
متن کاملUnrearranged immunoglobulin variable region genes have a functional promoter.
We have tested whether immunoglobulin light chain variable region genes are capable of directing initiation of transcription without undergoing the DNA rearrangement which creates a complete immunoglobulin gene. Two human Vk genes specifically initiated transcription in vitro at a site which is approximately 30 bases downstream of a TATA box and 20 bases upstream of the initiation codon. A Vk p...
