Crystal structure of HyHEL-10 Fv mutant LS91A complexed with hen egg white lysozyme
Overview
To study the role of hydrogen bonding via interfacial water molecules in protein-protein interactions, we examined the interaction between hen egg white lysozyme (HEL) and its HyHEL-10 variable domain fragment (Fv) antibody. We constructed three antibody mutants (l-Y50F, l-S91A, and l-S93A) and investigated the interactions between the mutant Fvs and HEL. Isothermal titration calorimetry indicated that the mutations significantly decreased the negative enthalpy change (8-25 kJ mol(-1)), despite some offset by a favorable entropy change. X-ray crystallography demonstrated that the complexes had nearly identical structures, including the positions of the interfacial water molecules. Taken together, the isothermal titration calorimetric and x-ray crystallographic results indicate that hydrogen bonding via interfacial water enthalpically contributes to the Fv-HEL interaction despite the partial offset because of entropy loss, suggesting that hydrogen bonding stiffens the antigen-antibody complex.
