Electron microscopy shows that binding of monoclonal antibody PT25-2 primes integrin αIIbβ3 for ligand binding.

ABSTRACT: The murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) PT25-2 induces αIIbβ3 to bind ligand and initiate platelet aggregation. The underlying mechanism is unclear, because previous mutagenesis studies suggested that PT25-2 binds to the αIIb β propeller, a site distant from the Arg-Gly-Asp-binding pocket. To elucidate the mechanism, we studied the αIIbβ3-PT25-2 Fab complex by negative-stain and cryo-electron microscopy (EM). We found that PT25-2 binding results in αIIbβ3 partially exposing multiple ligand-induced binding site epitopes and adopting extended conformations without swing-out of the β3 hybrid domain. The cryo-EM structure showed PT25-2 binding to the αIIb residues identified by mutagenesis but also to 2 additional regions. Overlay of the cryo-EM structure with the bent αIIbβ3 crystal structure showed that binding of PT25-2 creates clashes with the αIIb calf-1/calf-2 domains, suggesting that PT25-2 selectively binds to partially or fully extended receptor conformations and prevents a return to its bent conformation. Kinetic studies of the binding of PT25-2 compared with mAbs 10E5 and 7E3 support this hypothesis. We conclude that PT25-2 induces αIIbβ3 ligand binding by binding to extended conformations and by preventing the interactions between the αIIb and β3 leg domains and subsequently the βI and β3 leg domains required for the bent-closed conformation.

An αIIbβ3 monoclonal antibody traps a semiextended conformation and allosterically inhibits large ligand binding.

Project description:AbstractMonoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have provided valuable information regarding the structure and function of platelet αIIbβ3. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) has been implicated in αIIbβ3 activation and binds to thrombin-activated αIIbβ3. Using human platelets as the immunogen, we identified a new mAb (R21D10) that inhibits the binding of PDI to platelets activated with thrombin receptor-activating peptide (T6). R21D10 also partially inhibited T6-induced fibrinogen and PAC-1 binding to platelets, as well as T6- and adenosine 5'-diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation. Mutual competition experiments showed that R21D10 does not inhibit the binding of mAbs 10E5 (anti-αIIb cap domain) or 7E3 (anti-β3 β-I domain), and immunoblot studies indicated that R21D10 binds to β3. The dissociation of αIIbβ3 by EDTA had a minimal effect on R21D10 binding. Cryogenic electron microscopy of the αIIbβ3-R21D10 Fab complex revealed that R21D10 binds to the β3 integrin-epidermal growth factor 1 (I-EGF1) domain and traps an intermediate conformation of αIIbβ3 with semiextended leg domains. The binding of R21D10 produces a major structural change in the β3 I-EGF2 domain associated with a new interaction between the β3 I-EGF2 and αIIb thigh domains, which may prevent the swing-out motion of the β3 hybrid domain required for high-affinity ligand binding and protect αIIbβ3 from EDTA-induced dissociation. R21D10 partially reversed the ligand binding priming effect of eptifibatide, suggesting that it could convert the swung-out conformation into a semiextended conformation. We concluded that R21D10 inhibits ligand binding to αIIbβ3 via a unique allosteric mechanism, which may or may not be related to its inhibition of PDI binding.

Structural basis for quinine-dependent antibody binding to platelet integrin αIIbβ3.

Project description:Drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia (DITP) is caused by antibodies that react with specific platelet-membrane glycoproteins when the provoking drug is present. More than 100 drugs have been implicated as triggers for this condition, quinine being one of the most common. The cause of DITP in most cases appears to be a drug-induced antibody that binds to a platelet membrane glycoprotein only when the drug is present. How a soluble drug promotes binding of an otherwise nonreactive immunoglobulin to its target, leading to platelet destruction, is uncertain, in part because of the difficulties of working with polyclonal human antibodies usually available only in small quantities. Recently, quinine-dependent murine monoclonal antibodies were developed that recognize a defined epitope on the β-propeller domain of the platelet integrin αIIb subunit (GPIIb) only when the drug is present and closely mimic the behavior of antibodies found in human patients with quinine-induced thrombocytopenia in vitro and in vivo. Here, we demonstrate specific, high-affinity binding of quinine to the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of these antibodies and define in crystal structures the changes induced in the CDR by this interaction. Because no detectable binding of quinine to the target integrin could be demonstrated in previous studies, the findings indicate that a hybrid paratope consisting of quinine and reconfigured antibody CDR plays a critical role in recognition of its target epitope by an antibody and suggest that, in this type of drug-induced immunologic injury, the primary reaction involves binding of the drug to antibody CDRs, causing it to acquire specificity for a site on a platelet integrin.

Novel monoclonal antibody against integrin α3 shows therapeutic potential for ovarian cancer.

Project description:Ovarian cancer has a high recurrence rate after platinum-based chemotherapy. To improve the treatment of ovarian cancer and identify ovarian cancer-specific antibodies, we immunized mice with the human ovarian carcinoma cell line, SKOV-3, and generated hybridoma clones. Several rounds of screening yielded 30 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with no cross-reactivity to normal cells. Among these mAbs, OV-Ab 30-7 was found to target integrin α3 and upregulate p53 and p21, while stimulating the apoptosis of cancer cells. We further found that binding of integrin α3 by OV-Ab 30-7 impaired laminin-induced focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation. The mAb alone or in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel inhibited tumor progression and prolonged survival of tumor-bearing mice. Moreover, immunohistochemical staining of ovarian patient specimens revealed higher levels of integrin α3 in cancer cells compared with normal cells. By querying online clinical databases, we found that elevated ITGA3 expression in ovarian cancer is associated with poor prognosis. Taken together, our data suggest that the novel mAb, OV-Ab 30-7, may be considered as a potential therapeutic for ovarian cancer.

Dynamic regulation of fibrinogen: integrin αIIbβ3 binding.

Project description:This study demonstrates that two orthogonal events regulate integrin αIIbβ3's interactions with fibrinogen, its primary physiological ligand: (1) conformational changes at the αIIb-β3 interface and (2) flexibility in the carboxy terminus of fibrinogen's γ-module. The first postulate was tested by capturing αIIbβ3 on a biosensor and measuring binding by surface plasmon resonance. Binding of fibrinogen to eptifibatide-primed αIIbβ3 was characterized by a k(on) of ~2 × 10(4) L mol(-1) s(-1) and a k(off) of ~8 × 10(-5) s(-1) at 37 °C. In contrast, even at 150 nM fibrinogen, no binding was detected with resting αIIbβ3. Eptifibatide competitively inhibited fibrinogen's interactions with primed αIIbβ3 (K(i) ~0.4 nM), while a synthetic γ-module peptide (HHLGGAKQAGDV) was only weakly inhibitory (K(i) > 10 μM). The second postulate was tested by measuring αIIbβ3's interactions with recombinant fibrinogen, both normal (rFgn) and a deletion mutant lacking the γ-chain AGDV sites (rFgn γΔ408-411). Normal rFgn bound rapidly, tightly, and specifically to primed αIIbβ3; no interaction was detected with rFgn γΔ408-411. Equilibrium and transition-state thermodynamic data indicated that binding of fibrinogen to primed αIIbβ3, while enthalpy-favorable, must overcome an entropy-dominated activation energy barrier. The hypothesis that fibrinogen binding is enthalpy-driven fits with structural data showing that its γ-C peptide and eptifibatide exhibit comparable electrostatic contacts with αIIbβ3's ectodomain. The concept that fibrinogen's αIIbβ3 targeting sequence is intrinsically disordered may explain the entropy penalty that limits its binding rate. In the hemostatic milieu, platelet-platelet interactions may be localized to vascular injury sites because integrins must be activated before they can bind their most abundant ligand.

Fine mapping of inhibitory anti-alpha5 monoclonal antibody epitopes that differentially affect integrin-ligand binding.

Project description:The high-affinity interaction of integrin alpha5beta1 with the central cell-binding domain of fibronectin requires both the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence (in the tenth type III repeat) and a second site Pro-His-Ser-Arg-Asn (PHSRN) in the adjacent ninth type III repeat, which synergizes with RGD. Arg-Arg-Glu-Thr-Ala-Trp-Ala (RRETAWA) is a novel peptidic ligand for alpha5beta1, identified by phage display, which blocks alpha5beta1-mediated cell adhesion to fibronectin. A key question is the location of the binding sites for these ligand sequences within the integrin. In this study we have identified residues that form part of the epitopes of three inhibitory anti-alpha5 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs): 16, P1D6 and SNAKA52. These mAbs have distinct functional properties. mAb 16 blocks the recognition of RGD and RRETAWA, whereas P1D6 blocks binding to the synergy sequence. The binding of SNAKA52 is inhibited by anti-beta1 mAbs, indicating that its epitope is close to the interface between the alpha and beta subunits. Residues in human alpha5 were replaced with the corresponding residues in mouse alpha5 by site-directed mutagenesis; wild-type or mutant human alpha5 was expressed on the surface of alpha5-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells. mAb binding was assessed by flow cytometry and by adhesion to the central cell-binding domain of fibronectin or RRETAWA by cell attachment assay. All three epitopes were located to different putative loops in the N-terminal domain of alpha5. As expected, disruption of these epitopes had no effect on ligand recognition by alpha5beta1. The locations of these epitopes are consistent with the beta-propeller model for integrin alpha-subunit structure and allow us to propose a topological image of the integrin-ligand complex.

Species-Specific Involvement of Integrin αIIbβ3 in a Monoclonal Antibody CH12 Triggers Off-Target Thrombocytopenia in Cynomolgus Monkeys.

Project description:CH12 is a novel humanized monoclonal antibody against epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) for cancer treatment. Unfortunately, in pre-clinical safety evaluation studies, acute thrombocytopenia was observed after administration of CH12 in cynomolgus monkeys, but not rats. More importantly, in vitro experiments found that CH12 can bind and activate platelets in cynomolgus monkey, but not human peripheral blood samples. Cynomolgus monkey-specific thrombocytopenia has been reported previously; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we first showed that CH12 induced thrombocytopenia in cynomolgus monkeys through off-target platelet binding and activation, resulting in platelet destruction. We subsequently found that integrin αIIbβ3 (which is expressed on platelets) contributed to this off-target toxicity. Furthermore, three-dimensional structural modeling of the αIIbβ3 molecules in cynomolgus monkeys, humans, and rats suggested that an additional unique loop exists in the ligand-binding pocket of the αIIb subunit in cynomolgus monkeys, which may explain why CH12 binds to platelets only in cynomolgus monkeys. Moreover, this study supported the hypothesis that the minor differences between cynomolgus monkeys and humans can confuse human risk assessments and suggests that species differences can help the prediction of human risks and avoid losses in drug development.

Electron microscopy-based semi-automated characterization of aggregation in monoclonal antibody products.

Project description:Aggregation is a critical parameter for protein-based therapeutics, due to its impact on the immunogenicity of the product. The traditional approach towards characterization of such products is to use a collection of orthogonal tools. However, the fact that none of these tools is able to completely classify the distribution and physical characteristics of aggregates, implies that there exists a need for additional analytical methods. We report one such method for characterization of heterogeneous population of proteins using transmission electron microscopy. The method involves semi-automated, size-based clustering of different protein species from micrographs. This method can be utilized for quantitative characterization of heterogeneous populations of antibody/protein aggregates from TEM images of proteins, and may also be applicable towards other instances of protein aggregation.

Spatial Transcriptomics correlated Electron Microscopy [MERFISH]

Project description:Current spatial transcriptomics methods provide molecular and spatial information but no morphological readout. Here, we present STEM - a method that correlates multiplexed error-robust FISH with electron microscopy from neighboring tissue sections of the same sample. STEM links transcriptional and spatial organization of single cells with ultrastructural morphology of the tissue in vivo. Using STEM to characterize demyelinated white-matter lesions allowed us to link morphology of myelin-laden foamy microglia to transcriptional signature. Moreover, we revealed that interferon-response microglia have unique morphology and are enriched near CD8 T-cells.

β-Subunit Binding Is Sufficient for Ligands to Open the Integrin αIIbβ3 Headpiece.

Project description:The platelet integrin αIIbβ3 binds to a KQAGDV motif at the fibrinogen γ-chain C terminus and to RGD motifs present in loops in many extracellular matrix proteins. These ligands bind in a groove between the integrin α and β-subunits; the basic Lys or Arg side chain hydrogen bonds to the αIIb-subunit, and the acidic Asp side chain coordinates to a metal ion held by the β3-subunit. Ligand binding induces headpiece opening, with conformational change in the β-subunit. During this opening, RGD slides in the ligand-binding pocket toward αIIb, with movement of the βI-domain β1-α1 loop toward αIIb, enabling formation of direct, charged hydrogen bonds between the Arg side chain and αIIb. Here we test whether ligand interactions with β3 suffice for stable ligand binding and headpiece opening. We find that the AGDV tetrapeptide from KQAGDV binds to the αIIbβ3 headpiece with affinity comparable with the RGDSP peptide from fibronectin. AGDV induced complete headpiece opening in solution as shown by increase in hydrodynamic radius. Soaking of AGDV into closed αIIbβ3 headpiece crystals induced intermediate states similarly to RGDSP. AGDV has very little contact with the α-subunit. Furthermore, as measured by epitope exposure, AGDV, like the fibrinogen γ C-terminal peptide and RGD, caused integrin extension on the cell surface. Thus, pushing by the β3-subunit on Asp is sufficient for headpiece opening and ligand sliding, and no pulling by the αIIb subunit on Arg is required.
