Crystal structure of humanized KR127 FAB
Overview
The humanized monoclonal antibody HzKR127 recognizes the preS1 domain of, the human hepatitis B virus surface proteins with a broadly neutralizing, activity in vivo. We present the crystal structures of HzKR127 Fab and its, complex with a major epitope peptide. In the complex structure, the bound, peptide forms a type IV beta-turn followed by 3(10) helical turn, the, looped-out conformation of which provides a structural basis for broad, neutralization. Upon peptide binding, the antibody undergoes a dramatic, complementarity determining region H3 lid opening. To understand the, structural implication of the virus neutralization, we carried out, comprehensive alanine-scanning mutagenesis of all complementarity, determining region residues in HzKR127 Fab. The functional mapping of the, antigen-combining site demonstrates the specific roles of major binding, determinants in antigen binding, contributing to the rational design for, maximal humanization and affinity maturation of the antibody.
