Identification of the linear Fc-binding epitope on the bovine IgG1 Fc receptor of (boFcγRI) using synthetic peptides
Background
Bovine IgG1 Fc receptor (boFcγRI) is a homologue to human FcγRI (CD64) that has three extracellular Ig-like domains and can bind bovine IgG1 with high affinity. Identification of the linear epitope for Fc-binding on boFcγRI provides new insights for the IgG-Fcγ interaction and FcγR-targeting drugs development.
Methods
The boFcγRI molecules were expressed on cell surface of the boFcγRI -transfected COS-7 cells. The extracellular domain of boFcγRI was expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) BL21, and the soluble boFcγRI was purified by Ni-chelation chromatography followed by refolding. To identify the Fc-binding epitope on the boFcγRI, peptides derived from the membrane-distal extracellular domain (EC2) of boFcγRI were synthesized and conjugated to a carrier protein of IgG-free bovine serum albumin (BSA). Binding of bovine IgG1 to the different peptides was tested by Dot-blot assay, and the peptide showing maximal IgG-binding was further modified by truncation and mutation. The inhibition effect of the Fc-binding peptide was determined by competitive ELISA and Fc-rosetting inhibition assay, respectively.
Results
The minimal effective peptide TNLSHNGI corresponding to the sequence 142–149 of boFcγRI was found to bind bovine IgG1 specifically in Dot-blot suggesting it represents a linear ligand-binding epitope located in the putative E-F loop of the EC2 domain on the receptor. Mutation analysis of the peptide showed that the residues of Thr142, Asn143, Leu144, Gly148 and Ile149 within the linear epitope are critical for IgG1-binding. The Fc-binding peptide inhibited bovine IgG1 binding to the soluble recombinant protein of boFcγRII with IC50 of 20.27 μmol/L, and inhibited the rosette formation of bovine IgG1-sensitized RBCs on the boFcγRI transfected cells with IC50 of 86.75 μmol/L.
Conclusions
The linear epitope for Fc-binding as well as its crucial residues of EC2 domain on boFcγRI was identified using synthetic peptides. The Fc-binding peptide showed well capability of regulating boFcγRI-IgG1 interaction on cell surface.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Immunological Methods is devoted to covering techniques for: (1) Quantitating and detecting antibodies and/or antigens. (2) Purifying immunoglobulins, lymphokines and other molecules of the immune system. (3) Isolating antigens and other substances important in immunological processes. (4) Labelling antigens and antibodies. (5) Localizing antigens and/or antibodies in tissues and cells. (6) Detecting, and fractionating immunocompetent cells. (7) Assaying for cellular immunity. (8) Documenting cell-cell interactions. (9) Initiating immunity and unresponsiveness. (10) Transplanting tissues. (11) Studying items closely related to immunity such as complement, reticuloendothelial system and others. (12) Molecular techniques for studying immune cells and their receptors. (13) Imaging of the immune system. (14) Methods for production or their fragments in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
In addition the journal will publish articles on novel methods for analysing the organization, structure and expression of genes for immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition, processing and presentation. Submitted full length manuscripts should describe new methods of broad applicability to immunology and not simply the application of an established method to a particular substance - although papers describing such applications may be considered for publication as a short Technical Note. Review articles will also be published by the Journal of Immunological Methods. In general these manuscripts are by solicitation however anyone interested in submitting a review can contact the Reviews Editor and provide an outline of the proposed review.
