摘要

Variants of cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) were made by bisulfite- and oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis of the ctxB gene. Variants were screened by a radial passive immune hemolysis assay (RPIHA) for loss of binding to sheep erythrocytes (SRBC). Variant CTBs were characterized for the formation of immunoreactive pentamers, the ability to bind ganglioside GM1 in vitro, and reactivity with a panel of monoclonal anti-CTB antibodies. Substitutions at eight positions (i.e., positions 22, 29, 36, 45, 64, 86, 93, and 100) greatly reduced the yield of immunoreactive CTB. RPIHA-negative substitution variants that formed immunoreactive pentamers were obtained for residues 12, 33, 36, 51, 52 + 54, 91, and 95. Tyrosine-12 was identified as a novel residue important for GM1 binding since, among all of the novel variants isolated with altered RPIHA phenotypes, only CTB with aspartate substituted for tyrosine at position 12 failed to bind significantly to ganglioside GM1 in vitro. In contrast, CTB variants with single substitutions for several other residues (Glu-51, Lys-91, and Ala-95) that participate in GM1 binding, based on the crystal structure of CTB and the oligosaccharide of GM1, were not appreciably altered in their ability to bind GM1 in vitro, even though they showed altered RPIHA phenotypes and did not bind to SRBC. Hybrid B genes made by fusing ctxB and the related Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin eltB genes at codon 56 produced CTB variants that had 7 or 12 heat-labile enterotoxin B residue substitutions in the amino or carboxyl halves of the monomer, respectively, each of which which also bound GM1 as well as wild-type CTB. This collection of variant CTBs in which 47 of the 103 residues were substituted was used to map the epitopes of nine anti-CTB monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Each MAb had a unique pattern of reactivity with the panel of CTB variants. Although no two of the epitopes recognized by different MAbs were identical, most of the single amino acid substitutions that altered the immunoreactivity of CTB affected more that one epitope. The tertiary structures of the epitopes of these anti-CTB MAbs are highly conformational and may involve structural elements both within and between CTB monomers. Substitution of valine for alanine at positions 10 and 46 had dramatic effects on the immunoreactivity of CTB, affecting epitopes recognized by eight or six MAbs, respectively.
