  • Quantitative Analysis of Therapeutic Antibody Interactions with Fcγ Receptors Using High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy.

    47 ( 1 )   334 - 338   2024.1

     More details

    Language:English   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    This study employed high-speed atomic force microscopy to quantitatively analyze the interactions between therapeutic antibodies and Fcγ receptors (FcγRs). Antibodies are essential components of the immune system and are integral to biopharmaceuticals. The focus of this study was on immunoglobulin G molecules, which are crucial for antigen binding via the Fab segments and cytotoxic functions through their Fc portions. We conducted real-time, label-free observations of the interactions of rituximab and mogamulizumab with the recombinant FcγRIIIa and FcγRIIa. The dwell times of FcγR binding were measured at the single-molecule level, which revealed an extended interaction duration of mogamulizumab with FcγRIIIa compared with that of rituximab. This is linked to enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity that is attributed to the absence of the core fucosylation of Fc-linked N-glycan. This study also emphasizes the crucial role of the Fab segments in the interaction with FcγRIIa as well as that with FcγRIIIa. This approach provided quantitative insight into therapeutic antibody interactions and exemplified kinetic proofreading, where cellular discrimination relies on ligand residence times. Observing the dwell times of antibodies on the effector molecules has emerged as a robust indicator of therapeutic antibody efficacy. Ultimately, these findings pave the way for the development of refined therapeutic antibodies with tailored interactions with specific FcγRs. This research contributes to the advancement of biopharmaceutical antibody design and optimizing antibody-based treatments for enhanced efficacy and precision.

  • Tardigrade Secretory-Abundant Heat-Soluble Protein Has a Flexible β-Barrel Structure in Solution and Keeps This Structure in Dehydration. International journal

    125 ( 32 )   9145 - 9154   2021.8

     More details

    Language:English   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    Secretory-abundant heat-soluble (SAHS) proteins are unique heat-soluble proteins of Tardigrada and are believed to play an essential role in anhydrobiosis, a latent state of life induced by desiccation. To investigate the dynamic properties, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a SAHS protein, RvSAHS1, were performed in solution and under dehydrating conditions. For comparison purposes, MD simulations of a human liver-type fatty-acid binding protein (LFABP) were performed in solution. Furthermore, high-speed atomic force microscopy observations were conducted to ascertain the results of the MD simulations. Three properties of RvSAHS1 were found as follows. (1) The entrance region of RvSAHS1 is more flexible and can be more extensive in solutions compared with that of a human LFABP because there is no salt bridge between the βD and βE strands. (2) The intrinsically disordered domain in the N-terminal region significantly fluctuates and can form an amphiphilic α-helix. (3) The size of the entrance region gets smaller along with dehydration, keeping the β-barrel structure. Overall, the obtained results provide atomic-level dynamics of SAHS proteins.

  • Characterization of amyloid β fibril formation under microgravity conditions. Reviewed International journal

    6   17 - 17   2020.6

     More details

    Language:English   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    Amyloid fibrils are self-assembled and ordered proteinaceous supramolecules structurally characterized by the cross-β spine. Amyloid formation is known to be related to various diseases typified by neurogenerative disorders and involved in a variety of functional roles. Whereas common mechanisms for amyloid formation have been postulated across diverse systems, the mesoscopic morphology of the fibrils is significantly affected by the type of solution condition in which it grows. Amyloid formation is also thought to share a phenomenological similarity with protein crystallization. Although many studies have demonstrated the effect of gravity on protein crystallization, its effect on amyloid formation has not been reported. In this study, we conducted an experiment at the International Space Station (ISS) to characterize fibril formation of 40-residue amyloid β (Aβ(1-40)) under microgravity conditions. Our comparative analyses revealed that the Aβ(1-40) fibrilization progresses much more slowly on the ISS than on the ground, similarly to protein crystallization. Furthermore, microgravity promoted the formation of distinct morphologies of Aβ(1-40) fibrils. Our findings demonstrate that the ISS provides an ideal experimental environment for detailed investigations of amyloid formation mechanisms by eliminating the conventionally uncontrollable factors derived from gravity.
