Bispecific IgG are heterotetramers comprising 2 pairs of heavy and light chains. Co-expression of the 4 component chains in a single host cell typically yields the desired bispecific IgG plus up to 9 additional incorrect chain pairings. Several protein engineering strategies have been reported to facilitate the heterodimerization of antibody heavy chains or cognate pairing of antibody heavy and light chains. These technologies have been used to direct the efficient assembly of bispecific IgG in single host cells and minimize unwanted chain pairings. When purifying bispecific IgGs, the identification and quantification of low levels of closely related IgG contaminants are substantial analytical challenges. Here we have developed a robust high-throughput method for quantitative analysis of bispecific IgG preparations using novel online liquid chromatography in conjunction with an extended mass range Orbitrap-based high-resolution mass spectrometer. A mathematical method was developed to estimate the yields of the 2 isobaric species, namely the desired bispecific IgG and the light chain-scrambled IgG. The analytical methods described herein are anticipated to be broadly applicable to the development of bispecific IgG as drugs and potentially to other complex next-generation biotherapeutics. 相似文献

The microtubule-associated proteins MAP1A and MAP1B are related but distinct multi-subunit protein complexes that consist of heavy and light chains. The predominant forms of these complexes are homotypic, i.e. they consist of a MAP1A heavy chain associated with MAP1A light chains or a MAP1B heavy chain associated with MAP1B light chains, respectively. In addition, MAP1A and MAP1B can exchange subunits and form heterotypic complexes consisting of a MAP1A heavy chain associated with MAP1B light chains which might play a role in a transition period of neuronal differentiation. Here we extend previous findings by confirming that heterotypic MAP1B heavy chain-MAP1A light chain complexes also exist in the developing murine brain. We show that these complexes form through interaction of homologous domains conserved in heavy and light chains of MAP1A and MAP1B. Likewise, conserved domains of the MAP1A and MAP1B light chains account for formation of light chain heterodimers. By yeast 2-hybrid analysis we located the light chain binding domain on the heavy chain to amino acids 211-508, thereby defining a new functional subdomain. 相似文献

The immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule is composed of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains (H2L2). Transport of this heteromeric complex is dependent on the correct assembly of the component parts, which is controlled, in part, by the association of incompletely assembled Ig heavy chains with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone, BiP. Although other heavy chain-constant domains interact transiently with BiP, in the absence of light chain synthesis, BiP binds stably to the first constant domain (CH1) of the heavy chain, causing it to be retained in the ER. Using a simplified two-domain Ig heavy chain (VH-CH1), we have determined why BiP remains bound to free heavy chains and how light chains facilitate their transport. We found that in the absence of light chain expression, the CH1 domain neither folds nor forms its intradomain disulfide bond and therefore remains a substrate for BiP. In vivo, light chains are required to facilitate both the folding of the CH1 domain and the release of BiP. In contrast, the addition of ATP to isolated BiP-heavy chain complexes in vitro causes the release of BiP and allows the CH1 domain to fold in the absence of light chains. Therefore, light chains are not intrinsically essential for CH1 domain folding, but play a critical role in removing BiP from the CH1 domain, thereby allowing it to fold and Ig assembly to proceed. These data suggest that the assembly of multimeric protein complexes in the ER is not strictly dependent on the proper folding of individual subunits; rather, assembly can drive the complete folding of protein subunits. 相似文献

The light and truncated heavy chains of human factor VIII, expressed separately in baculovirus-infected insect cells, exhibited different secretory behaviour when compared with each other and with a biologically active fusion molecule of the truncated heavy and light chains.The light chain was very efficiently secreted into culture medium, as judged by high extracellular protein levels and the absence of evidence for light chain retention within cells.Alternatively, proteins containing the heavy chain sequence were poorly secreted and appeared to be sequestered within cells, suggesting that regions within the heavy chain are responsible for the low levels of secreted protein which have generally been observed for recombinant factor VIII. 相似文献

Protein kinase C phosphorylated both the 19/21-kDa regulatory light chains and heavy chains of bovine brain myosin. The major phosphorylation sites of the light chains were on their threonyl residues, while those for myosin light chain kinase were on their seryl residues. Whereas several non-muscle regular myosins have been reported to be phosphorylated by different types of protein kinases at the non-helical small segments at the tail ends of the heavy chains, the phosphorylation sites for protein kinase C were localized on the head portion of the heavy chains of brain myosin. The possible role of phosphorylation of brain myosin by protein kinase C in the regulation of motility of neural cells is discussed. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP, GRP78) associates stably with the free, nonsecreted Ig heavy chains synthesized by Abelson virus transformed pre-B cell lines. In cells synthesizing both Ig heavy and light chains, the Ig subunits assemble rapidly and are secreted. Only incompletely assembled Ig molecules can be found bound to BiP in these cells. In addition to Ig heavy chains, a number of mutant and incompletely glycosylated transport-defective proteins are stably complexed with BiP. When normal proteins are examined for combination with BiP, only a small fraction of the intracellular pool of nascent, unfolded, or unassembled proteins can be found associated. It has been difficult to determine whether these BiP-associated molecules represent assembly intermediates which will be displaced from BiP and transported from the cell, or whether these are aberrant proteins that are ultimately degraded. In order for BiP to monitor and aid in normal protein transport, its association with these proteins must be reversible and the released proteins should be transport competent. In the studies described here, transient heterokaryons were formed between a myeloma line producing BiP-associated heavy chains and a myeloma line synthesizing the complementary light chain. Introduction of light chain synthesis resulted in assembly of prelabeled heavy chains with light chains, displacement of BiP from heavy chains, and secretion of Ig into the culture supernatant. These data demonstrate that BiP association can be reversible, with concordant release of transportable proteins. Thus, BiP can be considered a component of the exocytic secretory pathway, regulating the transport of both normal and abnormal proteins. 相似文献

Intact bovine brain clathrin triskelia, comprising three heavy and three light chains, require either 2 mM calcium or the assistance of protein co-factors for efficient assembly into regular cage structures (Keen, J. H., Willingham, M. C., and Pastan, I. (1979) Cell 16, 303-312). In contrast light chain-free heavy chains assemble readily in the absence of co-factors or calcium. Reconstitution of intact clathrin from heavy and light chains restores the calcium requirement. Our data indicate that light chains impede assembly by creating a kinetic trap rather than by perturbing the affinity of heavy chains for each other. This property suggests a function for light chains as regulatory subunits for clathrin assembly. 相似文献

Binding of coated vesicle assembly proteins to clathrin causes it to assemble into regular coat structures. The assembly protein fraction of bovine brain coated vesicles comprises AP180, auxilin, and HA1 and HA2 adaptors. Clathrin heavy chains, separated from their light chains, polymerize with unimpaired efficiency when assembly proteins are added. The reassembled coats were purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation and examined for composition by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. We found that all four major coat proteins are incorporated in the presence and absence of light chains. Moreover, each of the purified coat proteins is able to associate directly with clathrin heavy chains in preassembled cages as efficiently as with intact clathrin. We conclude that light chains are not essential for the interaction of AP180, auxilin, and HA1 and HA2 with clathrin. 相似文献

In this paper the application of microchip electrophoresis to examine the protein profile of cervicovaginal fluid and the detection of IgA heavy and light chains is presented. This method is a fast growing field of technology and ensures high-speed analysis requiring only microliters of sample. Proteins with wide range of molecular masses could be separated within 1 min. Cervicovaginal specimens of healthy women showed a complex protein pattern-containing several peaks in the 15-70 kDa region. sIgA is considered to be an important protein constituent of all mucosal surfaces. Detection of sIgA in cervicovaginal samples was achievable by microchip technology. Under reduced circumstances (induced by mercaptoethanol, a component of the denaturating solution) the disulfide bonds connecting IgA heavy and light chains are broken up and chains can be detected as separate peaks during electrophoresis. In 82.5% of the cases only the light chain of IgA could be detected in the clinical samples. The intact IgA heavy chain could be demonstrated in only 12.5% of the cases. Based on our data some conclusions were provided about the correlation of these patterns with the age of patients, pH of the cervicovaginal fluid, operations performed before sample collection and usage of oral contraceptives. 相似文献

The myeloma IgA protein produced by plasmacytoma XRPC-25, was isolated by affinity chromatography on dinitrophenyllysine-Sepharose. The affinity constant of the intact protein or its Fab' toward 2,4-dinitrophenyl-L-lysine (Dnp) was found to be 2.6 X 10(5) M-1. In order to prepare an Fv fragment (Hochman, J., Inbar, D., and Givol, D. (1973), Biochemistry 12, 1130) from this protein, the heavy and light chains were separated and the light chain was digested with trypsin at pH 8.2 to yield half a light chain. This digest was reassociated with the heavy chain and the recombinant was digested with papain at pH 5.7. Fractionation of this digest on a Sephadex G-75 column and Dnp-lysine-Sepharose resulted in the isolation of an Fv fragment which possesses one binding site for Dnplysine (Ka = 2.0 X 10(5) M-1). The active Fv fragment has a molecular weight of 23,400 and is composed of two peptide chains, each having a molecular weight of approximately 12,000. The N-terminal residues of these chains are aspartic and glutamic acids, which are also N-terminal in the heavy and light chains, indicating that the Fv is composed of VL and VH. 相似文献

This work aimed to determine whether the heavy chains of myosin from different striated muscle were phosphorylated. Myosin and its heavy chains were prepared from cardiac and skeletal muscles of rats injected in vivo with radioactive phosphates.The results for radioactive phosphate localization indicate the absence of phosphate from pure heavy chains and from any of their purified fragments, whatever the striated muscle used. In addition, phosphates are present in the myosin phosphorylated light chain and in a contaminating protein closely associated to the myosin heavy chain. 相似文献

In this article we review the various amino acids present in vertebrate nonmuscle and smooth muscle myosin that can undergo phosphorylation. The sites for phosphorylation in the 20 kD myosin light chain include serine-19 and threonine-18 which are substrates for myosin light chain kinase and serine-1 and/or-2 and threonine-9 which are substrates for protein kinase C. The sites in vertebrate smooth muscle and nonmuscle myosin heavy chains that can be phosphorylated by protein kinase C and casein kinase II are also summarized.Original data indicating that treatment of human T-lymphocytes (Jurkat cell line) with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate results in phosphorylation of both the 20 kD myosin light chain as well as the 200 kD myosin heavy chain is presented. We identified the amino acids phosphorylated in the human T-lymphocytes myosin light chains as serine-1 or serine-2 and in the myosin heavy chains as serine-1917 by 1-dimensional isoelectric focusing of tryptic phosphopeptides. Untreated T-lymphocytes contain phosphate in the serine-19 residue of teh myosin light chain and in a residue tentatively identified as serine-1944 in the myosin heavy chain.Abbreviations MLC

Vipera lebetina venom contains specific coagulant Factor X activator (VLFXA) that cleaves the Arg52-Ile53 bond in the heavy chain of human factor X. VLFXA is a glycoprotein that is composed of a heavy chain (HC) and two light chains (LC) linked by disulfide bonds. The complete amino acid sequences of the three chains of the factor X activator from V. lebetina snake venom are deduced from the nucleotide sequences of cDNAs encoding these chains. The full-length cDNA (2347 bp) sequence of the HC encodes an open reading frame (ORF) of 612 amino acids that includes signal peptide, propeptide and mature metalloproteinase with disintegrin-like and cysteine-rich domains. The light chain LC1 contains 123 and LC2 135 amino acid residues. Both light chains belong to the class of C-type lectin-like proteins. The N-termini of VLFXA chains and inner sequences of peptide fragments detected by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) from protein sequence are 100% identical to the sequences deduced from the cDNA. The molecular masses of tryptic fragments of VLFXA chains analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) also confirm the protein sequences deduced from the cDNAs. These are the first cloned factor X activator heavy and light chains. We demonstrate that the heavy and light chains are synthesized from different genes. 相似文献

The relative lability of the interchain disulphide bonds of mouse G2a-myeloma protein 5563 was studied as a function of 2-mercaptoethanol concentration. Analysis of partial-reduction mixtures by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and microdensitometry showed that the disulphide bonds between light and heavy chains are much more susceptible to reduction than the bonds between heavy chains. At a low concentration of 2-mercaptoethanol (10mm) the major dissociable products of mouse immunoglobulin G are heavy-chain dimers and free light chains. These findings contrast with the reported behaviour of rabbit immunoglobulin G, for which the lability of inter-heavy-chain bonds was found to exceed that of the bonds linking light and heavy chains (Hong & Nisonoff, 1965); the relative stability of rabbit immunoglobulin G interchain bonds was confirmed in the present study. Examination of human immunoglobulin G and an immunoglobulin G (γ2) of guinea pig showed that at least in the majority of molecules, as with mouse immunoglobulin G, the disulphide bonds between light and heavy chains are more susceptible to reduction than the inter-heavy-chain bonds. 相似文献

Previous studies with monoclonal antibodies indicate that sea urchin kinesin contains two heavy chains arranged in parallel such that their N-terminal ends fold into globular mechanochemical heads attached to a thin stalk ending in a bipartite tail [Scholey et al., 1989]. In the present, complementary study, we have used the monoclonal antikinesin, SUK4, to probe the quaternary structure of sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) kinesin. Kinesin prepared from sea urchin cytosol sedimented at 9.6 S on sucrose density gradients and consisted of 130-kd heavy chains plus an 84-kd/78 kd doublet (1 mol heavy chain: 1 mol doublet determined by gel densitometry). Low levels of 110-kd and 90-kd polypeptides were sometimes present as well. The 84-kd/78 kd polypeptides are thought to be light chains because they were precipitated from the kinesin preparation at a stoichiometry of one mol doublet per 1 mol heavy chain using SUK4-Sepharose immunoaffinity resins. The 110-kd and 90-kd peptides, by contrast, were removed using this immunoadsorption method. SUK4-Sepharose immunoaffinity chromatography was also used to purify the 130-kd heavy chain and 84-kd/78-kd doublet (1 mol heavy chain: 1 mol doublet) directly from sea urchin egg cytosolic extracts, and from a MAP (microtubule-associated protein) fraction eluted by ATP from microtubules prepared in the presence of AMPPNP but not from microtubules prepared in ATP. The finding that sea urchin kinesin contains equimolar quantities of heavy and light chains, together with the aforementioned data on kinesin morphology, suggests that native sea urchin kinesin is a tetramer assembled from two light chains and two heavy chains. 相似文献

Previous crystallographic studies in this laboratory demonstrated that immunoglobulin light chains with the same amino acid sequence can have at least two and probably three or more conformations, depending on whether the second member of an interacting pair is a light or heavy chain. If a heavy chain is not available in the assembly medium, a second light chain plays the structural role of the heavy chain in the formation of a dimer. In the present work, the lambda-type light chains were dissociated from the heavy chains of a serum IgG1 immunoglobulin from the patient Mcg and reassembled noncovalently into a dimer. The reassembly process was completed by allowing the penultimate half-cystine residues to form an interchain disulfide bond. The covalently linked dimer was compared with the Mcg urinary Bence-Jones dimer, for which an atomic model has been fitted to a 2.3-A electron density map. The assembled dimer and the native Bence-Jones protein were indistinguishable in their chromatographic and electrophoretic properties, as well as in their activity in the binding of bis(dinitrophenyl)lysine. These results indicate that the light chains can be converted into the two types of Bence-Jones conformational isomers. The procedure was also reversed: the two Bence-Jones isomers were dissociated and reassembled as the single type of isomer associating with each of two heavy chains in the IgG1 protein. The change in activity occurring when a light chain associates with a heavy chain instead of a second light chain is illustrated by the fact that the Mcg IgG1 immunoglobulin does not bind dis(dinitrophenyl)lysine in measurable amounts. 相似文献

Factor VIII is represented as a series of heterodimers composed of an 83(81) kDa light chain noncovalently bound to a variable size (93 to 210 kDa) heavy chain. Activated protein C inactivates factor VIII causing several cleavages of the factor VIII heavy chain(s). When factor VIII subunits were dissociated and component heavy and light chains isolated, the heavy chains were no longer a substrate for proteolysis by activated protein C. However, when factor VIII heavy chains were recombined with light chain, the reconstituted factor VIII activity was inactivated by activated protein C. The rate of factor VIII inactivation catalyzed by activated protein C was reduced by the presence of free light chain. The extent of this inhibition was dependent upon the concentration of light chain. Control experiments indicated that this protective effect of free light chain was not the result of inhibition of the activated protein C - lipid interaction. Fluorescence analysis demonstrated binding between the factor VIII light chain, chemically modified with eosin maleimide, and activated protein C, modified at its active site by dansyl-Glu-Gly-Arg chloromethyl ketone. Similar to proteolysis of factor VIII by activated protein C, this binding was dependent upon a lipid surface. Based upon the degree of fluorescence quenching, a spatial distance of 26 A was calculated separating the two fluorophores. These results demonstrate direct binding of activated protein C to the factor VIII light chain and suggest that this binding is an obligate step for activated protein C-catalyzed inactivation of factor VIII. 相似文献

The interactions of smooth muscle myosin and its light chains have been examined by incubating sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels of myosin with radioactively labeled regulatory or essential light chains. The technique involves sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fixation with methanol and acetic acid followed by an extensive series of washes. The gel is incubated overnight with labeled light chains in the presence of bovine serum albumin and then washed extensively to remove unbound protein. Following staining and destaining, the gel is autoradiographed to reveal which protein bands have bound light chain. The myosin heavy chain was able to rebind labeled regulatory or essential light chains despite the harsh procedure described above. By fragmenting the myosin heavy chain proteolytically, we were able to determine the binding site for both types of light chains to be within the 26,000-Da COOH-terminal segment of smooth muscle subfragment 1 (S-1) or the 20,000-Da COOH-terminal segment of skeletal muscle S-1. The extent of binding was 0.1-0.4 mol of light chain/mol of S-1 heavy chain. No binding was observed to portions of the myosin molecule which do not contain this segment such as myosin rod, light meromyosin, S-2, or the NH2-terminal 75,000-Da segment of S-1. 相似文献

Separation, purification, partial characterization and comparison of the heavy and light chains of botulinum neurotoxin types A, B, and E 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Clostridium botulinum produces botulinum neurotoxin (NT) in antigenically distinct forms. When isolated from bacterial cultures type E is a single chain, type B is a mixture of single and two-chain molecules, and type A is essentially a two-chain molecule (Mr approximately 150,000). Protease(s) in the cultures or trypsin nick single-chain NT to the two-chain form. The heavy (Mr approximately 100,000) and light (Mr approximately 50,000) chains of the two-chain molecule remain held together by -S-S-bond(s). The two chains are presumed to have different functions. NT binds to nerve cells via the heavy chain and then light chain enters the cell and blocks release of acetylcholine (Simpson, L. L. (1981) Pharmacol. Rev. 33, 155-188). We nicked single-chain NT to form the two-chain form with trypsin, minimizing secondary cleavages, then separated and purified the heavy and light chains using ion-exchange chromatography. The technique, with minor modifications, is a generalized method for types A, B, and E. These subunit chains (each a single band in sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) were analyzed for their complete amino acid compositions. The amino acid contents of the heavy and light chains agreed well with the parent two-chain molecule. This affirms that NT is composed of two chains. The two subunit chains are now usable for amino acid sequence and other studies. Comparison of the amino acid contents indicates more similarity among the light chains than the heavy chains of the three NT types, a similarity that agrees with our published partial amino acid sequences (first 13-18 residues) of these chains. Several (up to 9) different amino acid residues of the heavy chain (which is twice the size of the light chain) are present in double the number of corresponding residues in the light chain. 相似文献

Amino acid sequence of rat liver cathepsin L 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The complete amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chains of rat liver cathepsin L (EC 3.4.22.15) were determined at the protein level. The heavy and light chains consisted of 175 and 44 amino acid residues, respectively, and their Mr values without glycosyl groups calculated from these sequences were 18941 and 5056, respectively. The amino acid sequence was also determined from the N-terminal sequences of the heavy and light chains, and the sequences of cleavage fragments of the heavy chain with lysylendopeptidase and cyanogen bromide. The fragments were aligned by comparison with the amino acid sequence deduced from the sequence of cDNA of rat preprocathepsin L. The sequence of rat liver cathepsin L determined at the protein level was identical with that deduced from the cDNA sequence except that in the heavy chain, residues 176-177 (Asp-Ser) were not present at the C-terminus and alanine was replaced by proline at residue 125. Asn-108 in the heavy chain is modified with carbohydrate. 相似文献
