摘要

Antibodies protect organisms from a huge variety of foreign antigens. Antibody diversity originates from both genetic and structural levels. Antigen recognition relies on complementarity between antigen-antibody interfaces. Recent methodological advances in structural biology and the accompanying rapid increase of the number of crystal structures of proteins have enabled atomic-level manipulation of protein structures to effect alterations in function. In this study, we explored the designability of electrostatic complementarity at an antigen-antibody interface on the basis of a crystal structure of the complex. We designed several variants with altered charged residues at the interface and characterized the designed variants by surface plasmon resonance, circular dichroism, differential scanning calorimetry, and molecular dynamics simulations. Both successes and failures of the structure-based design are discussed. The variants that compensate electrostatic interactions can restore the interface complementarity, enabling the cognate antigen-antibody binding. Retrospectively, we also show that these mutational effects could be predicted by the simulations. Our study demonstrates the importance of charged residues on the physical properties of this antigen-antibody interaction and suggests that computational approaches can facilitate design of antibodies that recognize a weakly immunogenic antigen.
