Molecular Basis for the Interaction of the Hepatitis B Virus Core Antigen with the Surface Immunoglobulin Receptor on Naive B Cells

The nucleocapsid of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is composed of 180 to 240 copies of the HBV core (HBc) protein. HBc antigen (HBcAg) capsids are extremely immunogenic and can activate naive B cells by cross-linking their surface receptors. The molecular basis for the interaction between HBcAg and naive B cells is not known. The functionality of this activation was evidenced in that low concentrations of HBcAg, but not the nonparticulate homologue HBV envelope antigen (HBeAg), could prime naive B cells to produce anti-HBc in vitro with splenocytes from HBcAg- and HBeAg-specific T-cell receptor transgenic mice. The frequency of these HBcAg-binding B cells was estimated by both hybridoma techniques and flow cytometry (B7-2 induction and direct HBcAg binding) to be approximately 4 to 8% of the B cells in a naive spleen. Cloning and sequence analysis of the immunoglobulin heavy- and light-chain variable (VH and VL) domains of seven primary HBcAg-binding hybridomas revealed that six (86%) were related to the murine and human VH1 germ line gene families and one was related to the murine VH3 family. By using synthetic peptides spanning three VH1 sequences, one VH3 sequence, and one VLkappaV sequence, a linear motif in the framework region 1 (FR1)complementarity-determining region 1 (CDR1) junction of the VH1 sequence was identified that bound HBcAg. Interestingly, the HBcAg-binding motif was present in the VL domain of the HBcAg-binding VH3-encoded antibody. Finally, two monoclonal antibodies containing linear HBcAg-binding motifs blocked HBcAg presentation by purified naive B cells to purified HBcAg-primed CD4(+) T cells. Thus, the ability of HBcAg to bind and activate a high frequency of naive B cells seems to be mediated through a linear motif present in the FR1-CDR1 junction of the heavy or light chain of the B-cell surface receptor.     

Molecular basis for the temperature-dependent insolubility of cryoglobulins. X. The amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region of McE

The amino acid sequence of the VH region of McE, a monoclonal IgM cryoimmunoglobulin, has been determined employing automated sequencing methodology. Digestion of the intact Fab mu component, derived by trypsin cleavage of the parent protein at elevated temperature with CNBr, followed by complete reduction and alkylation, yielded the intact light chain as well as the 2 CNBr fragments that constituted the VH. N-terminal sequencing of the larger unblocked CNBr fragment, along with a component fragment derived by cleavage by BNPS-Skatole, established the structure of the VH from position 88 through the V leads to C switch region. Citraconylation of the smaller, blocked fragment effected sufficient solubilization for enzymatic deblocking and direct sequencing of the N-terminal 20 residues of the VH. Complete trypsin digestion of the N-terminal CNBr fragment yielded 9 peptides that could be isolated by preparative cation exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The complete sequence of these peptides along with 4 chymotryptic peptides completed the primary structure of the VH region. The primary structure of McE appears to resemble that of He, previously identified as belonging to the VH II subgroup. The presence of characteristic CDR and FR regions as well as the identification of a probable site of glycosylation suggest that the cryoimmunoglobulin closely resembles noncryoglobulins in terms of overall structural composition. The cryoglobulin property may arise through alterations in individual residues or unfavorable arrangements of CDR and FR segments.     

The critical role of arginine residues in the binding of human monoclonal antibodies to cardiolipin

Previously we reported that the variable heavy chain region (VH) of a human beta2 glycoprotein I-dependent monoclonal antiphospholipid antibody (IS4) was dominant in conferring the ability to bind cardiolipin (CL). In contrast, the identity of the paired variable light chain region (VL) determined the strength of CL binding. In the present study, we examine the importance of specific arginine residues in IS4VH and paired VL in CL binding. The distribution of arginine residues in complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of VH and VL sequences was altered by site-directed mutagenesis or by CDR exchange. Ten different 2a2 germline gene-derived VL sequences were expressed with IS4VH and the VH of an anti-dsDNA antibody, B3. Six variants of IS4VH, containing different patterns of arginine residues in CDR3, were paired with B3VL and IS4VL. The ability of the 32 expressed heavy chain/light chain combinations to bind CL was determined by ELISA. Of four arginine residues in IS4VH CDR3 substituted to serines, two residues at positions 100 and 100 g had a major influence on the strength of CL binding while the two residues at positions 96 and 97 had no effect. In CDR exchange studies, VL containing B3VL CDR1 were associated with elevated CL binding, which was reduced significantly by substitution of a CDR1 arginine residue at position 27a with serine. In contrast, arginine residues in VL CDR2 or VL CDR3 did not enhance CL binding, and in one case may have contributed to inhibition of this binding. Subsets of arginine residues at specific locations in the CDRs of heavy chains and light chains of pathogenic antiphospholipid antibodies are important in determining their ability to bind CL.     

Amino acid sequence of the VH region of a human myeloma immunoglobulin (IgG New).

The amino acid sequence of the heavy-chain variable region of the human immunoglobulin. New has been determined. Since the amino terminus of the heavy chain was blocked, the sequence of residues 1-69 was established by digesting the appropriate CNBr fragment separately with trypsin, chymotrypsin, and thermolysin and sequencing the resulting peptides. The region from residues 70 to 120 was present in another CNBr fragment which was submitted directly to automatic Edman degradation. The result of this experiment extended the sequence to residue 100. The primary structure of the remaining portion of the VH region was determined by automatic Edman degradation of a lysine-blocked tryptic peptide derived from this region which included residues 98-214. The sequence of the VH region of New corresponds most closely to VH sequences of proteins in the VH II subgroup. This primary structure makes it possible to construct a model from the high-resolution electron-density map of protein New.     

Gene cloning, bacterial expression, in vitro refolding, and characterization of a single-chain Fv antibody against PreS1(21-47) fragment of HBsAg

The murine monoclonal antibody 125E11 is an IgG which recognizes PreS1(21-47) fragment of large hepatitis B surface antigen. It has been successfully used for clinical detection of HBV virion in serum of hepatitis B patients. In present study, the genes of variable region in heavy chain (VH) and light chain (VL) of 125E11 have been cloned. Sequence analysis of cloned VH gene and VL gene showed that they had general characterization of immunoglobin variable region genes. According to Kabat classification, VH gene and VL gene belong to VH10 family, subgroup IIID and Vkappa family subgroup I, respectively. An expression vector of 125E11 single-chain Fv antibody fusion protein, in which VH and VL peptide were connected by a flexible linker (Gly(4)Ser)(3), was constructed. The scFv fusion protein was highly expressed in Escherichia coli mainly in inclusion body form. Using urea and pH gradient gel filtration method, the refolding of scFv was efficiently achieved. The refolding efficiency reached about 11% and 2.7 mg refolded scFv was obtained from 1L of culture. The binding activity and specificity of 125E11 scFv against PreS1(21-47)-containing antigen were also analyzed.     

Recognition of DNA by VH and Fv domains of an IgG anti-poly(dC) antibody with a singly mutated VH domain

Secondary antigen stimulation usually produces IgG antibodies with hypermutated V segments. Studying a strong secondary response to the polynucleotide antigen poly(dC), however, we found a highly selective IgG antibody (mAb dC7) with only one mutation (a conservative Leu to Ileu substitution) throughout the whole VH domain. To investigate the roles of VH and VL domains in selective binding by this mAb, we prepared its VH, VL and single-chain Fv (scFv) fragments. A bacterial expression system produced soluble monomeric V region proteins. CD spectra confirmed that they had the beta-secondary structure expected for Ig domains. Both the scFv and VH fragments bound to single-stranded non-protonated poly(dC) and to ssDNA but not to protonated, more structured poly(dC) or dsDNA. The VL domain alone did not bind to nucleic acids, but VL association modified the VH binding, giving the scFv a 10-fold higher affinity than the VH for poly(dC) and greatly increasing the cytosine-dependent selectivity. Non-ionic interactions were prominent in the Fv reaction with a (dC)( n) sequence. Ionic interactions were revealed in Fv cross-reactions with ssDNA, and were more prominent in binding of either poly(dC) or ssDNA by VH alone, consistent with the lesser base selectivity of the VH. Thus, the Fv and VH alone bind to a single antigen, poly(dC), but mechanistic differences result from additional subsites in the Fv. Generation of a selective IgG with very few CDR mutations in either VH or VL, which was accompanied by IgM antibodies with unmutated V regions, also suggests that nucleic acid binding activity is a property of the B cell repertoire even before immunization.

V region sequences of anti-DNA and anti-RNA autoantibodies from NZB/NZW F1 mice

The V region sequences of two anti-DNA (A52, D42) and two anti-RNA (D44, D444) autoantibodies, derived from lupus prone NZB/NZW F1 female mice, were determined by mRNA sequencing. The sequences had the following features: 1) there was no clear sequence relationship between anti-DNA and anti-RNA antibodies; 2) there were no major similarities between any of the L chain sequences and each VL gene segment belonged to a different mouse VK subgroup; 3) the H chains of the two anti-RNA antibodies showed closely related sequences of VH gene segments and very similar third complementarity determining regions (CDR3); 4) the H chains of the two anti-DNA antibodies had VH segments belonging to different VH gene families but had a unique and similar combination of D segments and junctional sequences, suggesting a common recognition element for Ag and/or for idiotypic regulation in the H chain CDR3; and 5) the VH gene segment of one anti-DNA antibody (D42) was found to be very similar to the VH gene segment of a CBA mouse hybridoma antibody (6G6) which binds to the environmental Ag phosphocholine. The three-dimensional structure of the Fv-region of the anti-DNA antibody (D42) was modeled by computer and a stretch of poly(dT), ssDNA was docked to a cleft in the antibody combining site, formed by the three H chain CDR and by CDR1 and CDR3 of the L chain. The cleft is characterized by a preponderance of arginine and tyrosine residues, lining both the walls and base of the cleft.     

Comparative sequence and immunochemical analyses of murine monoclonal anti-morphine antibodies

A more complete characterization is given for four previously reported anti-morphine monoclonal antibodies that bind the hapten with high affinity and to which anti-idiotypic antibodies have been raised that mimic opiates at receptor binding sites. The variable (V) region nucleotide sequences of the heavy (H) and light (L) chains of these murine antibodies have been determined by direct sequencing of the poly(A)+ mRNAs using specific oligonucleotide primers and dideoxynucleotide chain-termination, and the deduced amino acid sequences are compared. The primary sequences predicted for the VH segments of 10C3 and 11C7 antibodies are closely associated with the VHIIIB subgroup of mouse H-chain (80 to 82% homology), while those for the V-regions of 3B9 and 12D4 H-chains correlate well with the VHIIC subgroup (64 to 67% homology). The 11C7, 10C3, 3B9 and 12D4 hybridoma cell lines use JH1, JH2, JH3 and JH4 DNA segments, respectively. Since considerable variations in length and primary sequence in the CDR3 (complementarity determining region) peptides of all the H-chains are evident, conservation of the D-region structure does not appear to be necessary for effective hapten binding. However, sequence homologies of the CDR2 regions of all the antibodies indicate that residues Glu H-50, Ile H-51, Pro H-52a and Tyr H-59 are conserved, and that these segments may be more critically involved in binding than the other H and L-chain hypervariable regions. The marked VL sequence homology, greater than 93%, among the L-chains and consensus lambda sequence, suggests derivation from a similar or identical VL germ-line gene. The L-chain J-region peptides for all the antibodies are classified JL1 and no VL-JL junctional diversity was apparent. The antimorphine antibody L-chains are apparently generated by the joining of a specific J-gene segment to a single germ-line V-gene segment, and minor sequence variations are the result of somatic mutations within the coding region. The leader sequence for one of the H-chains was determined. The inhibition of morphine binding by phenoxybenzylation or iodination of the affinity-purified immunoglobulins indicates the involvement of a single tyrosyl residue within or close to the antibody-combining site for the opiate. This conclusion is supported by the sequence data and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements reported in the accompanying paper, in which the results are used to interpret nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on one of the ligand-antibody systems. The possible importance of additional contact amino acids, tryptophan, aspartic and/or glutamic acids, is discussed.     

The primary structure of ribosomal protein S7 from E. coli strains K and B.

Ribosomal proteins S7 from 30S subunits of Escherichia coli strains K and B differ extensively in their aminoacid compositions. The experimental details which led to the determination of the complete primary structures of proteins S7K and S7B are presented. Protein S7K consists of a single polypeptide chain of 177 aminoacids giving a calculated molecular weight of 19, 732, whereas protein S7B has 153 residues which amount to a molecular weight of 17,131. Aminoacid sequences were determined by a combination of automated Edman degradation of the intact proteins in a modified Beckman sequenator and sequencing of peptides obtained by digestion with trypsin. Staphylococcus aureus protease, thermolysin and pepsin, either by solid-phase Edman degradation or by dansyl-Edman degradation. Additional information about the primary structure was derived from peptides resulting from chemical cleavages of the protein by 2-(2-nitrophenyl-sulphenyl)-3-methyl 3' bromoindolenine at its tryptophanyl bonds and by cyanogen bromide at its methionyl bonds leading to large fragments. The mutational event occurring between S7B and S7K was characterized. Protein S7K contains an additional sequence of 24 aminoacids at its C-terminal end. The aminoacid sequence of both proteins S7K and S7B was compared to the published sequences of the other ribosomal proteins of Escherichia coli and predictions for the secondary structure of these proteins were made.     

Recombinant single-chain Fv antibodies that recognize the p25 protein of the Maedi-Visna virus

Single chain Fv (scFv) antibodies (generated by phage display technology, molecules representing new and efficient tools in the research and diagnostics of infectious diseases) against the capsid protein (p25) of Maedi-Visna virus were selected. Several clones of p25 specific scFv antibodies were identified; one of them was expressed as a soluble scFv molecule, purified by immobilized metal-affinity chromatography and further characterized by sequencing and determination of the kinetic equilibrium association constant. Sequence analysis showed that the rearranged VL and VH domains of the analyzed scFv clone used sequences from the VL3 family (germline DPL16/VL3.1) and VH1 family (germline VH20), respectively. The kinetic equilibrium association constant was determined as KA = 1.12 +/- 0.52 L/mumol.     

Cloning and sequence analysis of the VH and VL regions of an anti-myelin/DNA antibody from a patient with peripheral neuropathy and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

We have cloned and determined the nucleotide sequence of the Ig VH and VL region genes of an IgM kappa mAb that binds to denatured DNA and myelin from a patient (POP) with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and peripheral neuropathy. Sequence analysis indicates that the V region of the kappa L chain gene (PopVK) has 99% homology to a V kappa IIIa germ-line gene and the V region of the mu H chain gene (PopVH) has 96% homology to the VH26 germ-line gene that is a member of the VH3 gene family. It is likely the V kappa and VH genes arose from these respective germ-line genes via somatic mutation or from closely related genes. V kappa III genes have frequently been used by other IgMk mAb especially those with rheumatoid factor activity, and the VH26 gene with no somatic mutation has been used by several anti-DNA antibodies, suggesting the possibility of preferential association of these or related germ-line genes with autoantibodies. The minor differences between the sequences of POP's VH and V kappa genes and sequences used by other autoantibodies, may be responsible for this antibody's crossreactivity with myelin and, as a result, the autoimmune neuropathy.

Building novel binding ligands to B7.1 and B7.2 based on human antibody single variable light chain domains.

Ligands specific for B7.1 (CD80) and B7.2 (CD86) have applications in disease indications that require inhibition of T-cell activity. As we observed significant sequence and structural similarity between the B7-binding ligand, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein-4 (CTLA-4), and antibody variable light chain domains (VLs), we have explored the possibilities of making novel B7 binding molecules based on single VL domains.We first describe the "rational" design and construction of a VL/CTLA-4 hybrid molecule in which we have grafted both the CDR1 and CDR3-like loops of CTLA-4 onto a single VL light chain, at sites determined by sequence and structure-based alignment. This molecule was secreted as a soluble product from Escherichia coli, but did not show any binding to B7.1 and B7.2. In a second approach we constructed a VL library in which human VL genes derived from B-cells were spiked with the CDR3-like loop of CTLA-4 and further diversified by DNA shuffling. This library was displayed on phage, and after selection gave B7.1 binding ligands which competed with CTLA-4. In order to evaluate the possible general utility of VL domains as binding ligands, we have constructed a non-biased VL library. From this DNA-shuffled human VL library we have selected single VL domains specific for B7.1, B7.2 or human IgG. Two B7.1-specific VL ligands and one B7.2-specific VL ligand showed competition with CTLA-4. One candidate VL domain-specific for B7.1 was affinity matured by simultaneous randomisation of all CDR loops using DNA shuffling with degenerate CDR-spiking oligonucleotides. From this library, a single VL domain with affinity of 191 nM for B7.1 was obtained, which also showed binding to B7.1 in situ. This VL had mutations in CDR1 and CDR3, indicating that antigen recognition for this single VL is most likely mediated by the same regions as in the VL domain of whole antibodies.The B7.1 and B7.2-specific VL domains described in this study may form the basis of a new family of immunomodulatory recombinant molecules. Furthermore, our studies suggest that it is feasible to create specific single VL domains to diverse targets as is the case for single VH domains.     

Complete heavy and light chain variable region sequence of anti-arsonate monoclonal antibodies from BALB/c and A/J mice sharing the 36-60 idiotype are highly homologous

Structural and serologic studies on murine A/J monoclonal anti-arsonate antibodies resulted in the identification of a second idiotype family (Id36-60) in addition to the predominant idiotype family (IdCR). Id36-60, unlike IdCR, is a dominant idiotype in the BALB/c strain but is a "minor" idiotype in the A/J strain. The complete heavy and light chain variable region (VH and VL) amino acid sequences of a representative Id36-60 hybridoma protein from both the A/J and BALB/c strains have been determined. There are only four amino acid sequence differences between the VH of antibody 36-60 (A/J) and antibody 1210.7 (BALB/c). Two of these differences arise from single nucleotide changes in which the A/J and BALB/c Id36-60 VH germline gene sequences differ. The two other differences are the result of somatic mutation in hybridoma protein 36-60. In addition, Id36-60 heavy chains employ the same D and JH3 segments in both strains. The entire Vk2 VL of 36-60 and 1210.7 differ by only two amino acids, suggesting that like the heavy chains, they are derived from highly homologous VL genes. The same Jk segment is used in both antibodies. A comparison of the amino acid sequence data from Id36-60-bearing hybridomas suggests that a heavy chain amino acid difference accounts for the diminished arsonate binding by the 1210.7 hybridoma protein. Because the 1210.7 heavy chain is the unmutated product of the BALB/c VH gene, somatic mutation in VH may be required to enhance Ars affinity in this system.
