CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A HUMAN TYPE III FC GAMMA RECEPTOR IN COMPLEX WITH AN FC FRAGMENT OF IGG1 (HEXAGONAL)
Structural highlights
DiseaseIGHG1_HUMAN Defects in IGHG1 are a cause of multiple myeloma (MM) [MIM:254500. MM is a malignant tumor of plasma cells usually arising in the bone marrow and characterized by diffuse involvement of the skeletal system, hyperglobulinemia, Bence-Jones proteinuria and anemia. Complications of multiple myeloma are bone pain, hypercalcemia, renal failure and spinal cord compression. The aberrant antibodies that are produced lead to impaired humoral immunity and patients have a high prevalence of infection. Amyloidosis may develop in some patients. Multiple myeloma is part of a spectrum of diseases ranging from monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) to plasma cell leukemia. Note=A chromosomal aberration involving IGHG1 is found in multiple myeloma. Translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) with the IgH locus. Translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) with CCND1; translocation t(4;14)(p16.3;q32.3) with FGFR3; translocation t(6;14)(p25;q32) with IRF4.

Publication Abstract from PubMedFcgamma receptors mediate antibody-dependent inflammatory responses and cytotoxicity as well as certain autoimmune dysfunctions. Here we report the crystal structure of a human Fc receptor (FcgammaRIIIB) in complex with an Fc fragment of human IgG1 determined from orthorhombic and hexagonal crystal forms at 3.0- and 3.5-A resolution, respectively. The refined structures from the two crystal forms are nearly identical with no significant discrepancies between the coordinates. Regions of the C-terminal domain of FcgammaRIII, including the BC, C'E, FG loops, and the C' beta-strand, bind asymmetrically to the lower hinge region, residues Leu(234)-Pro(238), of both Fc chains creating a 1:1 receptor-ligand stoichiometry. Minor conformational changes are observed in both the receptor and Fc upon complex formation. Hydrophobic residues, hydrogen bonds, and salt bridges are distributed throughout the receptor.Fc interface. Sequence comparisons of the receptor-ligand interface residues suggest a conserved binding mode common to all members of immunoglobulin-like Fc receptors. Structural comparison between FcgammaRIII.Fc and FcepsilonRI.Fc complexes highlights the differences in ligand recognition between the high and low affinity receptors. Although not in direct contact with the receptor, the carbohydrate attached to the conserved glycosylation residue Asn(297) on Fc may stabilize the conformation of the receptor-binding epitope on Fc. An antibody-FcgammaRIII model suggests two possible ligand-induced receptor aggregations.
