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.
