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. FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedUnderstanding the molecular mechanism underlying the hierarchic binding between FcgammaRs and IgG antibodies is critical for therapeutic antibody engineering and FcgammaR functions. The recent determination of crystal structures of FcgammaRI-Fc complexes, however, resulted in two controversial mechanisms for the high affinity receptor binding to IgG. Here, we describe high resolution structures of a bovine FG-loop variant of FcgammaRI in complex with the Fc fragment of IgG(1) crystallized in three different conditions at neutral pH, confirming the characteristic FG loop-Fc interaction is critical to the high affinity immunoglobulin binding. We showed that the FcgammaRI D2-domain FG-loop functioned as a pH-sensing switch for IgG binding. Further live cell imaging of FcgammaRI-mediated internalization of immune complexes showed a pH sensitive temporal-spatial antibody-antigen uptake and release. Taken together, we demonstrate that the structures of FcgammaRI-Fc crystallized at neutral and acidic pH, respectively, represent the high and low affinity binding states of the receptor for IgG uptake and release. These results support a role for FcgammaRI in antigen delivery, highlight the importance of Fc glycan in antibody binding to the high affinity receptor and provide new insights to future antibody engineering.
