Abstract
In this work, we combined computational protein-protein docking with computational and experimental mutagenesis to predict the structure of the complex formed by monoclonal antibody 806 (mAb 806) and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). We docked mAb 806, an antitumor antibody, to its epitope of EGFR residues 287-302. Potential mAb 806-EGFR orientations were generated, and computational mutagenesis was used to filter them according to their agreement with experimental mutagenesis data. Further computational mutagenesis suggested additional mutations, which were tested to arrive at a final structure that was most consistent with experimental mutagenesis data. We propose that this is the EGFR-mAb 806 structure, in which mAb 806 binds to an untethered form of the receptor, consistent with published experimental results. The steric hindrance created by the antibody near the EGFR dimer interface interferes with receptor dimerization, and we postulate this as the structural origin for the antitumor effect of mAb 806.

Figure 6. Proposed Structure for the mAb 806-EGFR Complex
(A) Proposed structure for the mAb 806-EGFR complex, created by structurally aligning model 3 with the hypothetical extended monomer conformation. The coloring scheme is identical to that in Figure 5.
(B) Interface interactions: EGFR residue E293 forms a hydrogen bond with CDR H2 side chain Y50 and makes several hydrophobic contacts, mostly with residues in the mAb 806 H2 loop.
(C) EGFR residue D297 is well packed in a pocket of residues from the mAb 806 L2, L3, and H3 CDRs.
