- W2044098466 abstract "Antibodies HyHEL8, HyHEL10, and HyHEL26 (HH8, HH10, and HH26, respectively) recognize highly overlapping epitopes on hen egg-white lysozyme (HEL) with similar affinities, but with different specificities. HH8 binding to HEL is least sensitive toward mutations in the epitope and thus is most cross-reactive, HH26 is most sensitive, whereas the sensitivity of HH10 lies in between HH8 and HH26. Here we have investigated intra- and intermolecular interactions in three antibody-protein complexes: theoretical models of HH8-HEL and HH26-HEL complexes, and the x-ray crystal structure of HH10-HEL complex. Our results show that HH8-HEL has the lowest number and HH26-HEL has the highest number of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The number of salt bridges is lowest in HH8-HEL and highest in HH26-HEL. The binding site salt bridges in HH8-HEL are not networked, and are weak, whereas, in HH26-HEL, an intramolecular salt-bridge triad at the binding site is networked to an intermolecular triad to form a pentad. The pentad and each salt bridge of this pentad are exceptionally stabilizing. The number of binding-site salt bridges and their strengths are intermediate in HH10-HEL, with an intramolecular triad. Our further calculations show that the electrostatic component contributes the most to binding energy of HH26-HEL, whereas the hydrophobic component contributes the most in the case of HH8-HEL. A hot-spot epitope residue Lys-97 forms an intermolecular salt bridge in HH8-HEL, and participates in the intermolecular pentad in the HH26-HEL complex. Mutant modeling and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) studies show that this hot-spot epitope residue contributes significantly more to the binding than an adjacent epitope residue, Lys-96, which does not form a salt bridge in any of the three HH-HEL complexes. Furthermore, the effect of mutating Lys-97 is most severe in HH26-HEL. Lys-96, being a charged residue, also contributes the most in HH26-HEL among the three complexes. The SPR results on these mutants also highlight that the apparent electrostatic steering on net on rates actually act at post-collision level stabilization of the complex. The significance of this work is the observed variations in electrostatic interactions among the three complexes. Our work demonstrates that higher electrostatics, both as a number of short-range electrostatic interactions and their contributions, leads to higher binding specificity. Strong salt bridges, their networking, and electrostatically driven binding, limit flexibilities through geometric constrains. In contrast, hydrophobic driven binding and low levels of electrostatic interactions are associated with conformational flexibility and cross-reactivity." @default.
