Structural basis for high-affinity HER2 receptor binding by an engineered protein.
The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is specifically overexpressed in tumors of several cancers, including an aggressive form of breast cancer. It is therefore a target for both cancer diagnostics and therapy. The 58 amino acid residue Zher2 affibody molecule was previously engineered as a high-affinity binder of HER2. Here we determined the structure of Zher2 in solution and the...
متن کاملThe structural basis for insulin-like growth factor I receptor high affinity binding.
We have recently identified high and low affinity insulin-like growth factor I (IGF I) binding sites in solubilized human placental membranes and purified the high affinity IGF I receptor by IGF I affinity chromatography (Tollefsen, S. E., Thompson, K., and Petersen, D. J. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 16461-16469). To define the structural basis for high affinity IGF I binding, we have examined t...
متن کاملStructural basis for binding of human IgG1 to its high-affinity human receptor FcγRI
Cell-surface Fcγ receptors mediate innate and adaptive immune responses. Human Fcγ receptor I (hFcγRI) binds IgGs with high affinity and is the only Fcγ receptor that can effectively capture monomeric IgGs. However, the molecular basis of hFcγRI's interaction with Fc has not been determined, limiting our understanding of this major immune receptor. Here we report the crystal structure of a comp...
متن کاملHigh-affinity binding to staphylococcal protein A by an engineered dimeric Affibody molecule.
Affibody molecules are engineered binding proteins, in which the three-helix bundle motif of the Z domain derived from protein A is used as a scaffold for sequence variation. We used phage display to select Affibody binders to staphylococcal protein A itself. The best binder, called ZpA963, binds with similar affinity and kinetics to the five homologous E, D, A, B and C domains of protein A, an...
متن کاملStructural Basis for Escaping Negative Selection by T Cell Receptor with High Affinity for Self Antigen
Title of Dissertation: STRUCTURAL BASIS FOR ESCAPING NEGATIVE SELECTION BY T CELL RECEPTOR WITH HIGH AFFINITY FOR SELF ANTIGEN Yiyuan Yin, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Roy A. Mariuzza Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics The failure to eliminate self-reactive T cells is a prerequisite for autoimmunity. To escape thymic deletion, autoreactive T cell receptors (T...
