Abstract
The crystal structure of an efficient Diels-Alder antibody catalyst at 1.9 angstrom resolution reveals almost perfect shape complementarity with its transition state analog. Comparison with highly related progesterone and Diels-Alderase antibodies that arose from the same primordial germ line template shows the relatively subtle mutational steps that were able to evolve both structural complementarity and catalytic efficiency.
Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Electron density for the hapten in the 1E9 binding pocket. The F[o] F[c] omit map contoured at 1.0 level is shown as a close-up view looking down into the antibody combining site. The solvent-exposed linker of the hapten is not shown because of disorder. Figure prepared with QUANTA [Molecular Simulations Inc. (MSI)].
Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Comparison of molecular surfaces of the related antibody combining sites. View is from the top of the binding site showing the fit of the cognate ligands of 1E9 (A), 39-A11 (15) (B), and DB3 (14) (C). In magenta, under the surface, the side chains of the ligand-contacting residues of each antibody are shown. Note the variation of the shape of the binding site of 1E9 due to the side-chain conformational change in TrpH50 that results from the framework TrpH47 Leu substitution. Also, the AsnH35 hydrogen bond with a ligand carbonyl oxygen is conserved in all three antibody combining sites. Figure prepared with Insight II (MSI).
