FAB FRAGMENT OF NEUTRALISING MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY 4C4 COMPLEXED WITH G-H LOOP FROM FMDV.
Overview
The crystal structure of a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide, corresponding, to the sequence of the major antigenic site A (G-H loop of VP1) from a, multiple variant of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), has been, determined at 2.3 A resolution. The variant peptide includes four amino, acid substitutions in the loop relative to the previously studied peptide, representing FMDV C-S8c1 and corresponds to the loop of a natural FMDV, isolate of subtype C(1). The peptide was complexed with the Fab fragment, of the neutralizing monoclonal antibody 4C4. The peptide adopts a compact, fold with a nearly cyclic conformation and a disposition of the, receptor-recognition motif Arg-Gly-Asp that is closely related to the, previously determined structure for the viral loop, as part of the virion, and for unsubstituted synthetic peptide antigen bound to neutralizing, antibodies. New structural findings include the observation that, well-defined solvent molecules appear to play a major role in stabilizing, the conformation of the peptide and its interactions with the antibody., Structural results are supported by molecular-dynamic simulations. The, multiply substituted peptide developed compensatory mechanisms to bind the, antibody with a conformation very similar to that of its unsubstituted, counterpart. One water molecule, which for steric reasons could not occupy, the same position in the unsubstituted antigen, establishes hydrogen bonds, with three peptide amino acids. The constancy of the structure of an, antigenic domain despite multiple amino acid substitutions has, implications for vaccine design.
