Abstract
F11.2.32, a monoclonal antibody raised against HIV-1 protease (Kd = 5 nM), which inhibits proteolytic activity of the enzyme (K(inh) = 35(+/-3)nM), has been studied by crystallographic methods. The three-dimensional structure of the complex between the Fab fragment and a synthetic peptide, spanning residues 36 to 46 of the protease, has been determined at 2.2 A resolution, and that of the Fab in the free state has been determined at 2.6 A resolution. The refined model of the complex reveals ten well-ordered residues of the peptide (P36 to P45) bound in a hydrophobic cavity at the centre of the antigen-binding site. The peptide adopts a beta hairpin-like structure in which residues P38 to P42 form a type II beta-turn conformation. An intermolecular antiparallel beta-sheet is formed between the peptide and the CDR3-H loop of the antibody; additional polar interactions occur between main-chain atoms of the peptide and hydroxyl groups from tyrosine residues protruding from CDR1-L and CDR3-H. Three water molecules, located at the antigen-antibody interface, mediate polar interactions between the peptide and the most buried hypervariable loops, CDR3-L and CDR1-H. A comparison between the free and complexed Fab fragments shows that significant conformational changes occur in the long hypervariable regions, CDR1-L and CDR3-H, upon binding the peptide. The conformation of the bound peptide, which shows no overall structural similarity to the corresponding segment in HIV-1 protease, suggests that F11.2.32 might inhibit proteolysis by distorting the native structure of the enzyme.

(a) A schematic view of the pro- tease in which the location of the epitope recognised by F11.2.32 is shown in red. (b) Ramachandran graph indicating the differences in f-j angles of the segment 36 to 46 in the bound peptide (black) and the protease (red); residues are named at the positions for the bound peptide and broken lines connect equivalent residues of the peptide and the protease. Comparison of residues 36 to 45 of the protease (red) and bound peptide (yellow): (c) after superimposing residues 36 to 40 and (d) after superimposing residues 41 to 44.
