Human IgG2 can form covalent dimers.
Unlike IgA and IgM, IgG has not yet been shown to form covalent polymers. However in the presence of specific Ag, murine IgG3 has been shown to polymerize through noncovalent interactions. In contrast to the noncovalent oligomers found with murine IgG3, we have detected covalent dimers in three different recombinant human IgG2 Abs produced in myeloma cells. Both IgG2,kappa and IgG2,lambda can f...
متن کاملHighly stable cyclic dimers based on non-covalent interactions.
Highly stable cyclic dimers have been assembled through a combination of non-covalent interactions, including multiple hydrogen bonding, parallel stacking and hydrophobic shielding.
متن کاملUsing covalent dimers of human carbonic anhydrase II to model bivalency in immunoglobulins.
This paper describes the development of a new bivalent system comprising synthetic dimers of carbonic anhydrase linked chemically through thiol groups of cysteine residues introduced by site-directed mutagenesis. These compounds serve as models with which to study the interaction of bivalent proteins with ligands presented at the surface of mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Monovalent car...
متن کاملCovalent α-Synuclein Dimers: Chemico-Physical and Aggregation Properties
The aggregation of α-synuclein into amyloid fibrils constitutes a key step in the onset of Parkinson's disease. Amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein are the major component of Lewy bodies, histological hallmarks of the disease. Little is known about the mechanism of aggregation of α-synuclein. During this process, α-synuclein forms transient intermediates that are considered to be toxic species. The ...
متن کاملHuman IgG2 antibody disulfide rearrangement in vivo.
Proteins destined to circulate in the blood are first folded and assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum of secretory cells. For antibodies, like many other serum proteins, the folding and assembly steps involve the formation of disulfide bonds. Such bonds have been thought to be static features of proteins, stabilizing domains, and linking polypeptide chains, although some cases of extracellula...
