Mass spectrometry-guided molecular modeling predicts the interaction interface for a camelid single-domain antibody targeting the Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein’s C-terminal domain

ABSTRACT: To improve malaria diagnostics novel detector systems with high specificity and sensitivity are required. The malarial antigen PfCSP-Cext was selected to generate the camelid single domain antibody sdAbCSP1, which is intended to be used as capture device for detecting PfCSP-Cext in serum of acutely infected indivduals. To characterize the sdAbCSP1 functionality the 3D structure of the sdAbCSP1 – PfCSP-Cext complex was modeled in-silico. Then, the recombinantly expressed proteins sdAbCSP1, PfCSP-Cext, and the sdAbCSP1 – PfCSP-Cext complex were subjected to limited proteolysis for epitope mapping and paratope mapping. Mass spectrometry confirmed the interaction partial surfaces on sdAbCSP1 and on PfCSP-Cext. Moreover, binding strength of the sdAbCSP1 – PfCSP-Cext complex was determined by ITEM-TWO analysis and by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).
