    A dynamic knockout reveals that conformational fluctuations influence the chemical step of enzyme catalysis (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-04-09
    Description: Conformational dynamics play a key role in enzyme catalysis. Although protein motions have clear implications for ligand flux, a role for dynamics in the chemical step of enzyme catalysis has not been clearly established. We generated a mutant of Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase that abrogates millisecond-time-scale fluctuations in the enzyme active site without perturbing its structural and electrostatic preorganization. This dynamic knockout severely impairs hydride transfer. Thus, we have found a link between conformational fluctuations on the millisecond time scale and the chemical step of an enzymatic reaction, with broad implications for our understanding of enzyme mechanisms and for design of novel protein catalysts.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3151171/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3151171/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bhabha, Gira -- Lee, Jeeyeon -- Ekiert, Damian C -- Gam, Jongsik -- Wilson, Ian A -- Dyson, H Jane -- Benkovic, Stephen J -- Wright, Peter E -- GM080209/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM75995/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM075995/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54 GM094586/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Y1-CO-1020/CO/NCI NIH HHS/ -- Y1-GM-1104/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Apr 8;332(6026):234-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1198542.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology and Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21474759" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Cross-neutralization of influenza A viruses mediated by a single antibody loop (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-09-18
    Description: Immune recognition of protein antigens relies on the combined interaction of multiple antibody loops, which provide a fairly large footprint and constrain the size and shape of protein surfaces that can be targeted. Single protein loops can mediate extremely high-affinity binding, but it is unclear whether such a mechanism is available to antibodies. Here we report the isolation and characterization of an antibody called C05, which neutralizes strains from multiple subtypes of influenza A virus, including H1, H2 and H3. X-ray and electron microscopy structures show that C05 recognizes conserved elements of the receptor-binding site on the haemagglutinin surface glycoprotein. Recognition of the haemagglutinin receptor-binding site is dominated by a single heavy-chain complementarity-determining region 3 loop, with minor contacts from heavy-chain complementarity-determining region 1, and is sufficient to achieve nanomolar binding with a minimal footprint. Thus, binding predominantly with a single loop can allow antibodies to target small, conserved functional sites on otherwise hypervariable antigens.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3538848/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3538848/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ekiert, Damian C -- Kashyap, Arun K -- Steel, John -- Rubrum, Adam -- Bhabha, Gira -- Khayat, Reza -- Lee, Jeong Hyun -- Dillon, Michael A -- O'Neil, Ryann E -- Faynboym, Aleksandr M -- Horowitz, Michael -- Horowitz, Lawrence -- Ward, Andrew B -- Palese, Peter -- Webby, Richard -- Lerner, Richard A -- Bhatt, Ramesh R -- Wilson, Ian A -- GM080209/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HHSN266200700010C/PHS HHS/ -- P01 AI058113/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01AI058113/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR017573/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM080209/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI070373/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01AI070373/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U54 GM094586/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54-AI057158/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Y1-CO-1020/CO/NCI NIH HHS/ -- Y1-GM-1104/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Sep 27;489(7417):526-32. doi: 10.1038/nature11414.

    A highly conserved neutralizing epitope on group 2 influenza A viruses (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-07-09
    Description: Current flu vaccines provide only limited coverage against seasonal strains of influenza viruses. The identification of V(H)1-69 antibodies that broadly neutralize almost all influenza A group 1 viruses constituted a breakthrough in the influenza field. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of a human monoclonal antibody CR8020 with broad neutralizing activity against most group 2 viruses, including H3N2 and H7N7, which cause severe human infection. The crystal structure of Fab CR8020 with the 1968 pandemic H3 hemagglutinin (HA) reveals a highly conserved epitope in the HA stalk distinct from the epitope recognized by the V(H)1-69 group 1 antibodies. Thus, a cocktail of two antibodies may be sufficient to neutralize most influenza A subtypes and, hence, enable development of a universal flu vaccine and broad-spectrum antibody therapies.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3210727/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3210727/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ekiert, Damian C -- Friesen, Robert H E -- Bhabha, Gira -- Kwaks, Ted -- Jongeneelen, Mandy -- Yu, Wenli -- Ophorst, Carla -- Cox, Freek -- Korse, Hans J W M -- Brandenburg, Boerries -- Vogels, Ronald -- Brakenhoff, Just P J -- Kompier, Ronald -- Koldijk, Martin H -- Cornelissen, Lisette A H M -- Poon, Leo L M -- Peiris, Malik -- Koudstaal, Wouter -- Wilson, Ian A -- Goudsmit, Jaap -- GM080209/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HHSN272200900060C/PHS HHS/ -- T32 GM080209/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM080209-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Aug 12;333(6044):843-50. doi: 10.1126/science.1204839.
