Antibody Structure
- 1. CBB Spring Rotationwith Steven Kleinstein Conserved Residues ofan Antibody’s V Region Daniel Gadala-Maria 7 June 2010
- 2. 1° immune response:mostly germline antibodies Somatic Hypermutation& Affinity Maturation 2 ° immune response: sequences with point mutations Ag Ag Mutations improve antibody affinity D F Gadala-Maria 7 June 2010
- 3. Antibodies have several domains 4 protein chains 2 Light chains 1 Variable domain (VL) each 1 Constant domain (CL) each 2 Heavy chains 1 Variable domain (VH) each 3 Constant domains (CH) each VH VH VL VL CH CH CL CL CH CH CH CH D F Gadala-Maria 7 June 2010
- 4. VH & VL are divided into 2 parts ComplementarityDetermining Regions (CDRs) Mutated to improvebinding to antigen (Ag) Positive selection of certain mutants Framework Regions (FWs) Provide structure and support Fraction of mutations are not tolerable Ag VH VH VL VL D F Gadala-Maria 7 June 2010
- 5. Estimate that ½ of replacement mutations are lethal in FW Shlomchik et al (1989)1, using two methods: Use replacement:silent mutation ratio Expect R:S of ≈2.9 if no selection Observe R:S of 155/107 ≈ 1.45 in FW Estimate ≈ ½ R Mutations lethal in FW Categorize and count replacement mutations 79 positions categorized as into:21 invariant, 27 conservative, 31 non-conservative Estimate of 0.48 R Mutations lethal in FW 1Shlomchik M,Litwin S, and Weigert M. (1989) The influence of somatic mutation on clonal expansion. Prog. Immunol. 7:415-423. D F Gadala-Maria 7 June 2010
- 6. Could just line them up and count, if we had a good alignment… Many more sequences available! IMGT (the international ImMunoGeneTics information system) http://www.imgt.org Lefrancet al. (2003) IMGT unique numbering for immunoglobulin and T cell receptor variable domains and Igsuperfamily V-like domains. Dev Comp Immunol. 27:55-77. D F Gadala-Maria 7 June 2010
- 7. FWs 2 & 3 show much conservation D F Gadala-Maria 7 June 2010
- 8. Can we categorize positions? 20/ 56 = 0.3571 36/ 56 D F Gadala-Maria 7 June 2010
- 9. Loose ends & future directions Could use more sequences (readily available),especiallynon-functional (not so common) Correct bad alignments for FW1 Looked at just V, but could do V(D)J Other methods for assessing % lethal Plot conserved positions onto crystal structure D F Gadala-Maria 7 June 2010
- 10. Thank you for listening! Special thanks to: Steve Kleinstein Mohamed Uduman Chris Bolen Uri Hershberg D F Gadala-Maria 7 June 2010
Hinweis der Redaktion
- Lethal FR mutations hinder detecting selection
- Likely to re-encounted the same antigens.These mutated sequences help provide an efficient secondary response.
- Variable regions areN-terminus of each chainCDR mutations may improve Ab affinity,FW mutations may destabilizeNon-tolerated fraction important b/c reduced presence of R mutations might look like selection (in terms of Ab binding ability)
- The CDRs are predisposed to mutation while the FWs are not.Codon bias.R:S sequences numbered on the order of dozensWhy don’t we just take the 50%? X number of sequences (small number), etc. Now we have Y sequences…etc
- Talk a little about where the data came from.Next move onto numbering
- Log2(20) ~ 4.32Lead in to dividing into two groups: conserved and not…
- Log2(20) ~ 4.32Lead into non-functional (expect conservation to not matter, good control)
- variable (V), diversity (D) and joining (J) segmentsCould analyze which of the 9 reachable-in-one-mutation amino acids are found
