Abstract
Human antibody 2G12 neutralizes a broad range of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates by binding an unusually dense cluster of carbohydrate moieties on the "silent" face of the gp120 envelope glycoprotein. Crystal structures of Fab 2G12 and its complexes with the disaccharide Manalpha1-2Man and with the oligosaccharide Man9GlcNAc2 revealed that two Fabs assemble into an interlocked VH domain-swapped dimer. Further biochemical, biophysical, and mutagenesis data strongly support a Fab-dimerized antibody as the prevalent form that recognizes gp120. The extraordinary configuration of this antibody provides an extended surface, with newly described binding sites, for multivalent interaction with a conserved cluster of oligomannose type sugars on the surface of gp120. The unique interdigitation of Fab domains within an antibody uncovers a previously unappreciated mechanism for high-affinity recognition of carbohydrate or other repeating epitopes on cell or microbial surfaces.

Fig. 4. The antibody-combining site interactions with the disaccharide Man 1-2Man. (A) The 2F[obs] - F[calc] electron density for Man 1-2Man is contoured at 1.7 and the CDR loops are labeled. (B) The combining site showing Fab atoms within hydrogen bonding distance (dotted lines) of Man 1-2Man. The Fab heavy chain and light chain are shown in purple and cyan, respectively. We generated the figures using programs Bobscript (64), Molscript (65), and Raster3D (66).

Fig. 6. Model of 2G12 glycan recognition of gp120. On the basis of our model, three separate Man[9]GlcNAc[2] moieties, shown in red (two in the primary combining sites and one in the V[H]/V[H]' interface), potentially mediate the binding of 2G12 to gp120. The glycans at the primary combining sites originate from Asn332 and Asn392 (labeled) in gp120, whereas the carbohydrate located at the V[H]/V[H]' interface would arise from Asn339 (labeled). N-linked glycans occurring at Asn332 and Asn392 have previously been implicated as critical for 2G12 binding (13). The N-linked glycan at Asn 339 is not as critical for 2G12 binding, although this glycan could potentially interact with the V[H]/V[H]' interface. Figure was generated using programs Molscript (65) and Raster3D (66).
