[IGKC_HUMAN] Defects in IGKC are the cause of immunoglobulin kappa light chain deficiency (IGKCD) [MIM:614102]. IGKCD is a disease characterized by the complete absence of immunoglobulin kappa chains.[1] [IGHG1_HUMAN] Defects in IGHG1 are a cause of multiple myeloma (MM) [MIM:254500]. MM is a malignant tumor of plasma cells usually arising in the bone marrow and characterized by diffuse involvement of the skeletal system, hyperglobulinemia, Bence-Jones proteinuria and anemia. Complications of multiple myeloma are bone pain, hypercalcemia, renal failure and spinal cord compression. The aberrant antibodies that are produced lead to impaired humoral immunity and patients have a high prevalence of infection. Amyloidosis may develop in some patients. Multiple myeloma is part of a spectrum of diseases ranging from monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) to plasma cell leukemia. Note=A chromosomal aberration involving IGHG1 is found in multiple myeloma. Translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) with the IgH locus. Translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) with CCND1; translocation t(4;14)(p16.3;q32.3) with FGFR3; translocation t(6;14)(p25;q32) with IRF4.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The crystal structure of the esterase catalytic antibody 48G7 has been determined in the presence of hapten at 2.0 A resolution and in the absence of hapten at 2.7 A resolution. The root-mean-square difference between the two structures is 0.6 A for the variable domain and 0.7 A for the constant domain. Comparison of the active site shows that no significant changes occur upon hapten binding as main-chain and side-chain displacements are negligible. Complex formation occurs as hapten fits into a pre-formed pocket about 10 A deep. Although 151 water molecules were modeled into the 48G7-hapten structure, none are bound in the active site. Comparison of the 48G7 structures with those of other published ester hydrolysis antibodies illustrates an emerging theme used by esterolytic antibodies in binding their (nitro-)phenyl haptens and in hydrolysing their cognate esters and carbonates: hapten is bound with the aryl end buried deep in the binding pocket, and the phosphonate moiety is responsible for the majority of the binding energy to the antibody-hapten interaction.
