Abstract
The humanized monoclonal antibody HzKR127 recognizes the preS1 domain of the human hepatitis B virus surface proteins with a broadly neutralizing activity in vivo. We present the crystal structures of HzKR127 Fab and its complex with a major epitope peptide. In the complex structure, the bound peptide forms a type IV beta-turn followed by 3(10) helical turn, the looped-out conformation of which provides a structural basis for broad neutralization. Upon peptide binding, the antibody undergoes a dramatic complementarity determining region H3 lid opening. To understand the structural implication of the virus neutralization, we carried out comprehensive alanine-scanning mutagenesis of all complementarity determining region residues in HzKR127 Fab. The functional mapping of the antigen-combining site demonstrates the specific roles of major binding determinants in antigen binding, contributing to the rational design for maximal humanization and affinity maturation of the antibody.

Fig. 1. Domains of HBV surface proteins. The domain structures of S, M, and L proteins are presented with each domain colored differently. The adr subtype preS1 includes an epitope that is recognized by the neutralizing monoclonal antibody HzKR127. The peptide sequence of the epitope region is presented below the preS1 domain, with the epitope colored red.

Fig. 3. Comparison of antigen-binding site in the free and bound HzKR127 Fabs. Interactions between the H3 lid (yellow) and neighbors in the free (Left) and bound (Right) HzKR127 Fabs. The residues involved in the interactions are drawn, and the major interactions are presented as dotted lines. The light and heavy chains are colored pink and blue (labeled red and blue), respectively. The bound peptide residues Pro6P–Trp8P are presented as sticks with atomic colors.
