  ABSTRACT  
 
Rituximab is a widely used monoclonal antibody drug for treating certain lymphomas and autoimmune diseases. To understand the molecular mechanism of recognition of human CD20 by Rituximab, we determined the crystal structure of the Rituximab Fab in complex with a synthesized peptide comprising the CD20 epitope (residues 163-187) at 2.6-A resolution. The combining site of the Fab consists of four complementarity determining regions that form a large, deep pocket to accommodate the epitope peptide. The bound peptide assumes a unique cyclic conformation that is constrained by a disulfide bond and a rigid proline residue (Pro(172)). The (170)ANPS(173) motif of CD20 is deeply embedded into the pocket on the antibody surface and plays an essential role in the recognition and binding of Rituximab. The antigen-antibody interactions involve both hydrogen bonds and van der Waals contacts and display a high degree of structural and chemical complementarity. These results provide a molecular basis for the specific recognition of CD20 by Rituximab as well as valuable information for development of improved antibody drugs with better specificity and higher affinity.

Figure 1.
FIGURE 1. Overall structure of the Rituximab Fab-CD20 epitope-peptide complex. A, overall structure of the complex. The Rituximab Fab is colored with the light chain in yellow and the heavy chain in green, and the CD20 epitope peptide in cyan. B, a stereoview of a composite-omit electron density map at 2.6-Å resolution for the bound epitope peptide contoured at 1.0- level. The atomic coordinates of the peptide residues are shown in ball and stick models. C, structure of the bound epitope peptide. The epitope peptide consists of a short N-terminal coil (residues 167-171), a 3[10] helix (residues 172-174), a small loop (residues 175-177), and a short C-terminal -helix (residues 178-184). The intra-peptide hydrogen-bonding interactions between residues of the middle part (the 3[10] helix and the small loop) and the other parts of the peptide are indicated with dashed lines.

FIGURE 2. Interactions between the Rituximab Fab and the epitope peptide. A, an overview showing the interactions of the epitope peptide with the Rituximab Fab. The Fab CDRs are shown with the H1 loop in orange, H2 in green, H3 in tinted green, L1 in gold, L2 in pink, and L3 in purple. The peptide is colored in cyan. The four CDR loops (H1, H2, H3, and L3) of the Fab form a pocket to accommodate the epitope peptide. B, an electrostatic potential surface of the Rituximab Fab in the region of the epitope peptide binding pocket showing the structural and chemical complementarity between the Fab and the bound peptide. The residues of the epitope peptide involved in interactions with the Fab are shown with ball and stick models. The ^170ANPS^173 motif of the CD20 epitope is located in a pocket formed by CDR loops H1, H2, H3, and L3 of the Fab. The locations of a few residues of the Fab are labeled for reference. C, a stereoview showing the hydrogen-bonding interactions between residues of the epitope peptide and CDR loops H1 and H3 of the Fab. The color coding of the structural elements is the same as A. D, a stereoview showing the hydrogen bonding between the epitope peptide and CDR loops H2 and L3 of the Fab.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
