'''Crystal structure of the G91S mutant of the NNA7 Fab'''<br />
'''Crystal structure of the G91S mutant of the NNA7 Fab'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
The NNA7 Fab antibody fragment recognizes the human N-type blood-group, antigen comprised of the N-terminal glycopeptide of glycophorin A (GPA). A, mutant form of this Fab fragment, NNA7-G91S, exhibits markedly reduced, antigen binding. To provide insight into how these Fab fragments recognize, this glycopeptide antigen, the crystal structures of NNA7 and NNA7-G91S, were solved and refined to 1.83 and 1.97 A resolution, respectively. Both, molecules are composed of the same heavy (H) chain Fd fragment, but each, contains a slightly different light (L) chain owing to the G91S, substitution. Specifically, the G91S mutation pushes the backbone of the, neighboring H chain away from complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3), of the L-chain variable region, allowing an additional glycerol, cryoprotectant molecule to enter the antigen-combining site near the, putative location of O-linked glycosylation. Each Fab fragment also, possesses a well defined 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES), molecule trapped in its antigen-combining site, as well as a, crystallographic symmetry-related molecule comprising an amino-acid, sequence that is virtually identical to the N-terminus of GPA. The MES, molecule interacts with the H-chain CDR in a manner reminiscent of, antibody-carbohydrate complexes. These results suggest a model for, recognition of the glycopeptide antigen that accounts for the deleterious, effect of the G91S substitution.
