Molecular cloning and expression of the mouse high affinity Fc receptor for IgG

Full length cDNA clones encoding the mouse Fc gamma RI were isolated by using redundant oligonucleotide probes based on previously determined amino acid sequence of protein bound to an IgG2a antibody column. Sequence analysis of cDNA clones indicates that mouse Fc gamma RI is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is composed of three disulfide bonded extracellular Ig binding domains unlike Fc gamma RII of man and mouse. These extracellular domains contain five potential sites of N-linked glycosylation; three sites in the first domain and one in each of the second and third domains. In addition a transmembrane region is present followed by a cytoplasmic tail of 84 amino acids. Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the first two extracellular domains of Fc gamma RI indicate that these are highly homologous to the extracellular domains of Fc gamma RII; the third domain is different and shows a lower level of homology to other FcR domains but is clearly related to the Ig super-family. Transfected cells expressing Fc gamma RI were shown to bind immune complexes of rabbit IgG; and monomeric IgG2a bound to transiently transfected cells with an affinity of approximately 5 x 10(7) M-1, i.e. the receptor was of high affinity and therefore was by definition Fc gamma RI. Northern analysis demonstrated that Fc gamma RI mRNA could be detected in the Fc gamma RI+ myeloid cell lines WEH1 3B and J774. Finally, Southern analysis indicated that Fc gamma RI is likely to be encoded by a single copy gene of approximately 9 kb.     

Crystal structure of Fcγ receptor I and its implication in high affinity γ-immunoglobulin binding

Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) play critical roles in humoral and cellular immune responses through interactions with the Fc region of immunoglobulin G (IgG). Among them, FcγRI is the only high affinity receptor for IgG and thus is a potential target for immunotherapy. Here we report the first crystal structure of an FcγRI with all three extracellular Ig-like domains (designated as D1, D2, and D3). The structure shows that, first, FcγRI has an acute D1-D2 hinge angle similar to that of FcεRI but much smaller than those observed in the low affinity Fcγ receptors. Second, the D3 domain of FcγRI is positioned away from the putative IgG binding site on the receptor and is thus unlikely to make direct contacts with Fc. Third, the replacement of FcγRIII FG-loop ((171)LVGSKNV(177)) with that of FcγRI ((171)MGKHRY(176)) resulted in a 15-fold increase in IgG(1) binding affinity, whereas a valine insertion in the FcγRI FG-loop ((171)MVGKHRY(177)) abolished the affinity enhancement. Thus, the FcγRI FG-loop with its conserved one-residue deletion is critical to the high affinity IgG binding. The structural results support FcγRI binding to IgG in a similar mode as its low affinity counterparts. Taken together, our study suggests a molecular mechanism for the high affinity IgG recognition by FcγRI and provides a structural basis for understanding its physiological function and its therapeutic implication in treating autoimmune diseases.     

The amino acid sequences of the three heavy chain constant region domains of a human IgG2 myeloma protein.

The amino acid sequences of most of the CH1, CH2 and CH3 domains of IgG Zie, a myeloma protein belonging to the IgG2 subclass, are presented. These data make possible a comparison of the sequences of residues 253-446 of all four subclasses of immunoglobulins: these residues make up almost the entire Fc regions. A comparison can also be made of the CH1 domain of IgG1 Eu and the CH1 domain of IgG2 Zie. Earlier sequence analyses of the Fc regions of subclass 1 and 3 proteins, and parts of the Fc regions of subclass 2 and 4 proteins showed that about 95% of these sequences were identical. The extended comparisons made possible by the data presented here show that this very high degree of identity is maintained throughout the four subclasses. Similarly, the CH1 domains of gamma 1 and gamma 2 chains were found to have about 93% sequence identity. It is unlikely that the few single amino acid changes within the constant region domains can account for the marked differences between subclasses observed in the region domains can account for the marked differences between subclasses observed in the biological effector functions of immunoglobulin Fc regions, especially since most of the changes are highly conservative. Rather, it seems probable that these functional differences are caused by conformational differences between the subgroups, which result from sequence differences in the hinge regions.     

The herpes simplex virus 1 IgG fc receptor blocks antibody-mediated complement activation and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in vivo

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein E (gE) mediates cell-to-cell spread and functions as an IgG Fc receptor (FcγR) that blocks the Fc domain of antibody targeting the virus or infected cell. Efforts to assess the functions of the HSV-1 FcγR in vivo have been hampered by difficulties in preparing an FcγR-negative strain that is relatively intact for spread. Here we report the FcγR and spread phenotypes of NS-gE264, which is a mutant strain that has four amino acids inserted after gE residue 264. The virus is defective in IgG Fc binding yet causes zosteriform disease in the mouse flank model that is only minimally reduced compared with wild-type and the rescue strains. The presence of zosteriform disease suggests that NS-gE264 spread functions are well maintained. The HSV-1 FcγR binds the Fc domain of human, but not murine IgG; therefore, to assess FcγR functions in vivo, mice were passively immunized with human IgG antibody to HSV. When antibody was inoculated intraperitoneally 20 h prior to infection or shortly after virus reached the dorsal root ganglia, disease severity was significantly reduced in mice infected with NS-gE264, but not in mice infected with wild-type or rescue virus. Studies of C3 knockout mice and natural killer cell-depleted mice demonstrated that the HSV-1 FcγR blocked both IgG Fc-mediated complement activation and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Therefore, the HSV-1 FcγR promotes immune evasion from IgG Fc-mediated activities and likely contributes to virulence at times when antibody is present, such as during recurrent infections.     

IgG Fc variant cross-reactivity between human and rhesus macaque FcγRs

Non-human primate (NHP) studies are often an essential component of antibody development efforts before human trials. Because the efficacy or toxicity of candidate antibodies may depend on their interactions with Fcγ receptors (FcγR) and their resulting ability to induce FcγR-mediated effector functions such as antibody-dependent cell-meditated cytotoxicity and phagocytosis (ADCP), the evaluation of human IgG variants with modulated affinity toward human FcγR is becoming more prevalent in both infectious disease and oncology studies in NHP. Reliable translation of these results necessitates analysis of the cross-reactivity of these human Fc variants with NHP FcγR. We report evaluation of the binding affinities of a panel of human IgG subclasses, Fc amino acid point mutants and Fc glycosylation variants against the common allotypes of human and rhesus macaque FcγR by applying a high-throughput array-based surface plasmon resonance platform. The resulting data indicate that amino acid variation present in rhesus FcγRs can result in disrupted, matched, or even increased affinity of IgG Fc variants compared with human FcγR orthologs. These observations emphasize the importance of evaluating species cross-reactivity and developing an understanding of the potential limitations or suitability of representative in vitro and in vivo models before human clinical studies when either efficacy or toxicity may be associated with FcγR engagement.     

Efficient expression and purification of human aglycosylated Fcγ receptors in Escherichia coli

Effector Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) are expressed on the surface of a variety of cells of hematopoietic lineage and serve as a bridge between adaptive and innate immune responses. The interaction between immune complexes, formed by IgG class antibodies that are crosslinked with antigen, and FcγRs triggers signaling cascades that result in numerous cellular responses including the activation or donwregulation of cytotoxic responses, cytokine release, and antibody synthesis. Here, the extracellular domains of the human type I transmembrane FcγRs were expressed in Escherichia coli and their interactions to subclass IgGs (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4) antibodies were analyzed. Expression using fully synthetic E. coli codon optimized FcγR genes and optimization of sequences for N‐terminal translation initiation region through mRNA secondary structure prediction enabled us to achieve high yield of purified, bacterially expressed receptors, including FcγRI and FcγRIIIa which have not been successfully expressed in bacteria until now. The aglycosylated FcγRs showed similar IgG subclass binding selectivity compared to the respective glycosylated FcγRs expressed in mammalian cells. Biotechnol.

Biological Activities of Murine Low-Affinity Fc Receptors for IgG

Murine low-affinity Fc receptors for IgG (FcγRIIbl, FcγRIIb2, and FcγRIII) bind the same IgG subclasses and are not distinguished by available anti-FcγRII/III mAbs (2.4G2). They trigger various biological activities, among which are the internalization of soluble and particulate immune complexes, cell activation, and its regulation. To determine the biological properties of the three murine receptors, each was expressed by stable transfection of corresponding cDNAs in two model cells: the murine lymphoma B cell IIA1.6 and the rat basophilic leukemia cell RBL-2H3. Biological activities of recombinant receptors were triggered with soluble immune complexes or 2.4G2 IgG in IIA1.6 cells, which express no FcγR, and with 2.4G2 Fab or F(ab′)₂, cross-linked with mouse anti-rat F(ab′)₂ in RBL, which express rat FcγR. Conditions for studying cell activation and endocytosis in both cell models are described, as are conditions for studying phagocytosis in RBL cells and antigen presentation or regulation of cell activation in IIA1.6 cells. Internalization of immune complexes was triggered by FcγRIIb2 and FcγRIII, but not by FcγRIIb1. Intracytoplasmic sequences required for phagocytosis and endocytosis could be distinguished in FcγRIIb2, but not in FcγRIII. Cell activation was restricted to FcγRIII. FcγRIII-mediated endocytosis, phagocytosis, and cell activation involved the consensus tyrosine-containing activation motif found in the intracytoplasmic domain of the γ subunit. Regulation of cell activation was induced by both FcγRII isoforms and depended on the same sequence as endocytosis. As a consequence, a single motif can determine more than one biological response of the cell, and a given response may be triggered by several motifs, borne by different FcγR.

Structure and mapping of the gene encoding mouse high affinity Fc gamma RI and chromosomal location of the human Fc gamma RI gene.

We describe the isolation and characterization of the gene encoding the mouse high affinity Fc receptor Fc gamma RI. Using a mouse cDNA Fc gamma RI probe four unique overlapping genomic clones were isolated and were found to encode the entire 9 kb of the mouse Fc gamma RI gene. Sequence analysis of the gene showed that six exons account for the entire Fc gamma RI cDNA sequences including the 5'- and 3'-untranslated sequences. The first and second exons encode the signal peptide; exons 3, 4, and 5 encode the extracellular Ig binding domains; and exon 6 encodes the transmembrane domain, the cytoplasmic region, and the entire 3'-untranslated sequence. This exon pattern is similar to Fc gamma RIII and Fc epsilon RI but differs from the related Fc gamma RII gene which contains 10 exons and encodes the b1 and b2 Fc gamma RII. Southern blot analysis had shown that the mouse Fc gamma RI gene is a single copy gene with no RFLP in inbred strains of mice, but analysis of an intersubspecies backcross of mice showed that unlike other mouse FcR genes which are on mouse chromosome 1 the locus encoding Fc gamma RI, termed Fcg1, is located on chromosome 3. Interestingly, the Fcg1 locus is located near the end of a region with known linkage homology to human chromosome 1. Analysis of human x rodent somatic cell hybrid cell lines indicates that the human FCG1 locus encoding the human Fc gamma RI maps to chromosome I and therefore possibly linked to other FcR genes on this chromosome. These results suggest that the linkage relationships among these genes in the human genome are not preserved in the mouse.
