2E8 FAB FRAGMENT
Overview
The crystal structure of the Fab fragment of 2E8, the monoclonal, IgG1,kappa antibody specific for the low-density lipoprotein (LDL), receptor-binding region of apolipoprotein E (apoE), has been solved by, molecular replacement and refined at 1.9 A resolution (PDB entry 12E8)., Two 2E8 Fab molecules in the asymmetric unit are related by, noncrystallographic symmetry and are hydrogen bonded through a, beta-sheet-like intermolecular contact between the heavy-chain, complementarity-determining regions 3 (CDRH3) of each molecule. The, structure has been refined to an R value of 0.22 (Rfree = 0.27). The, initially ill-defined heavy-chain constant domain (CH1) of 2E8 has been, retraced with the aid of automatic refinement, confirming the beta-sheet, tracing independently of any starting models. As a resolution better than, 2 A is not common for Fab fragments, this model represents a well defined, Fab structure and should prove useful in MR solution of other Fab, fragments. Furthermore, in the absence of an LDL-receptor structure, the, homology of the 2E8 CDRH2 to the ligand-binding domain of the LDL receptor, has been exploited to model the apoE-LDL-receptor interaction.
