Abstract
Antibodies can catalyze the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from singlet dioxygen (1O2*) and water via the postulated intermediacy of dihydrogen trioxide (H2O3) and other trioxygen species. Nine different crystal structures were determined to elucidate the chemical consequences to the antibody molecule itself of exposure to such reactive intermediates and to provide insights into the location on the antibody where these species could be generated. Herein, we report structural evidence for modifications of two specific antibody residues within the interfacial region of the variable and constant domains of different murine antibody antigen-binding fragments (Fabs) by reactive species generated during the antibody-catalyzed water oxidation process. Crystal structure analyses of murine Fabs 4C6 and 13G5 after UV-irradiation revealed complex oxidative modifications to tryptophan L163 and, in 4C6, hydroxylation of the Cgamma of glutamine H6. These discrete modifications of specific residues add further support for the "active site" of the water-oxidation pathway being located within the interfacial region of the constant and variable domains and highlight the general resistance of the antibody molecule to oxidation by reactive oxygen species generated during the water-oxidation process.

Fig. 1. Stereoview of the crystal structure of 4C6 Fab, with the C^ trace of the light (L) and heavy (H) chains colored in light and dark gray, respectively. The modified tryptophan TrpL163 is highlighted in red, and other tryptophan residues (such as TrpH97) are colored green. The modified glutamine residue GlnH6 is also colored red. All of the figures were generated in BOBSCRIPT (12) and rendered in RASTER3D (13).

Fig. 4. Fourier electron density maps showing TrpL163 in 13G5 Fab for UV-irradiated data set H and native control data set I. For a and b, the tryptophan residue was refined as tryptophan, whereas for control (c and d), the tryptophan residue was refined as alanine to avoid model bias.

Full text Abstract
Figure 3.
Figure 3. Shape complementarity of benzoic acid (a) and hapten (b) in the antibody 4C6 combining site. The Fab 4C6-binding pockets are shown with the molecular surfaces (1.4 Å probe radius). The shape of active sites differs dramatically between two structures primarily due to the side-chain of TrpL89, which flips downward to form the base of the hapten-binding pocket by the rotation of the x[2] angle about 65° on hapten binding. For further information, see the text and Figure 4. The Figure was generated in GRASP. [59.]

Figure 9. Docking of reactants (13, 15, 17) and TS structures (14, 16, 18) into the hapten-binding site of the 4C6 Fab structure. (a) Pathway yielding of (1S),(2S)-product, E[docked] (13)= -14.1 kcal/mol, E[docked] (14)= -10.6 kcal/mol. (b) Pathway yielding of the (1R),(2R)-enantiomeric product with E[docked] (15)= -14.7 kcal/mol and E[docked] (16)= -10.9 kcal/mol. (c) Pathway yielding cyclohexene, E[docked] (17)= -14.6 kcal/mol and E[docked] (18)= -9.2 kcal/mol. The first two TS, 14 and 16, correspond to both enantiomers of the chair-like TS, whereas the last one (18) is the boat-like TS.
