Spectroscopic, Calorimetric, and Kinetic Demonstration of Conformational Adaptation in Peptide-Antibody Recognition

Abstract: Little is known about the extent to which protein flexibility contributes to antigen-antibody recognition and cross-reactivity. Using short coil peptides (leucine zippers) as model antigens, we demonstrate that a monoclonal antibody can force a noncognate peptide into a conformation that is similar to the conformation of the cognate peptide against which the monoclonal antibody is directed. Monoclonal antibodies 29AB and 13AD were raised against the 29-residue peptide LZ (Ac-EYEALEKKLAALEAKLQALEKKLEALEHG-amide… Show more

“…This value is not far from To saturate the column-bound antibody, peptide LZ had to be circulated through the column for several hours, whereas 30 min sufficed for saturation with the cognate peptide LZ7P14P. This confirmed the slower reaction of 42PF with the non-cognate antigen observed previously [4]. After elution of the excess unbound antigen, 7-8 nmol peptide/ml affinity gel were adsorbed and could not be eluted by washing with several column volumes of The antigen .…”

“…The cognate peptide LZ7P14P (against which antibody 42PF was raised) binds with a AG value of -43.5 ? 1 .S kJ/mol [4]. Hence, antibody-promoted unfolding of the triple-stranded coiled coil seems feasible, even considering that peptide LZ binds less strongly than the cognate peptide LZ7P14P.…”

“…1): (i) the induced fit model and (ii) the conformational selection/population shift model (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). As defined originally by Koshland (1), the induced fit model states that the achievement of the final key-lock state, that is, the precise orientation of catalytic groups and residues necessary for catalysis, occurs only after changes in protein structure that are induced by the binding of a substrate.…”

“…In a leucine zipper model, the antibody selected a pre-existing monomeric conformer and shifted the equilibrium from a native coiled-coil to a monomeric, unfolded species (11,12). A somehow different example comes from an epitope within the folded dimeric transcriptional regulator E2 from human papillomavirus (HPV).…”
