These antibodies recognize the entire trisaccharide antigen in a linkage dependent manner via a groove composed largely of germ-line residues. Despite sharing identical heavy and light chain genes, S25-23 binds the family-specific epitope with nanomolar affinity, which is an order of magnitude higher than S25-26, while S25-5 displays an affinity between that of S25-23 and S25-26. We determined the high resolution crystal structures of S25-23 and S25-5 antigen-binding fragments in complex with a pentasaccharide derived from the LPS of Chlamydia, and measured the affinity of S25-5 towards chlamydial LPS antigens using isothermal titration microcalorimetry. The 1.75 A resolution structure of S25-23 shows how subtle conservative mutations Arg(L)-27E to lysine and Ser(H)-56 to threonine lead to an order of magnitude increase in affinity. Importantly, comparison between previous S25-26 structures and the 1.99 and 2.05 A resolution liganded and unliganded structures of S25-5, respectively, shows how a Ser(L)-27E results in intermediate affinity due to reduced enthalpic penalty associated with complex formation that would otherwise be required for arginine in this position. This strategy allows for subtle adjustments in combining site via affinity maturation to lead to dramatic consequences in affinity of an antibody for its antigen. Subtle changes in the combining site of the Chlamydiaceae-specific mAb S25-23 increase antibody-carbohydrate binding affinity by an order of magnitude.,Haji-Ghassemi O, Muller-Loennies S, Brooks CL, MacKenzie CR, Caveney N, Van Petegem F, Brade L, Kosma P, Brade H, Evans SV Biochemistry. 2018 Dec 20. doi: 10.1021/acs.biochem.8b00318.
