== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Histidine phosphorylation (pHis) is a non-canonical post-translational modification (PTM) that is historically understudied due to a lack of robust reagents that are required for its investigation, such as high affinity pHis-specific antibodies. Engineering pHis-specific antibodies is very challenging due to the labile nature of the phosphoramidate (P-N) bond and the stringent requirements for selective recognition of the two isoforms, 1-phosphohistidine (1-pHis) and 3-phosphohistidine (3-pHis). Here, we present a strategy for in vitro engineering of antibodies for detection of native 3-pHis targets. Specifically, we humanized the rabbit SC44-8 anti-3-pTza (a stable 3-pHis mimetic) mAb into a scaffold (herein referred to as hSC44) that was suitable for phage display. We then constructed six unique Fab phage-displayed libraries using the hSC44 scaffold and selected high affinity 3-pHis binders. Our selection strategy was carefully designed to enrich antibodies that bound 3-pHis with high affinity and had specificity for 3-pHis versus 3-pTza. hSC44.20N32F(L), the best engineered antibody, has an ~10-fold higher affinity for 3-pHis than the parental hSC44. Eleven new Fab structures, including the first reported antibody-pHis peptide structures were solved by X-ray crystallography. Structural and quantum mechanical calculations provided molecular insights into 3-pHis and 3-pTza discrimination by different hSC44 variants and their affinity increase obtained through in vitro engineering. Furthermore, we demonstrate the utility of these newly developed high-affinity 3-pHis-specific antibodies for recognition of pHis proteins in mammalian cells by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence staining. Overall, our work describes a general method for engineering PTM-specific antibodies and provides a set of novel antibodies for further investigations of the role of 3-pHis in cell biology.
