Mutational analysis of an autoantibody: differential binding and pathogenicity

We have used site-directed mutagenesis to change amino acid residues in the heavy chain of the pathogenic R4A anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibody and have looked for resultant alterations in DNA binding and in pathogenicity. The data demonstrate that single amino acid substitutions in both complementarity determining and framework regions alter antigen binding. Changes in only a few amino acids entirely ablate DNA specificity or cause a 10-fold increase in relative binding. In vivo studies in mice of the pathogenicity of the mutated antibodies show that a single amino acid substitution leading to a loss of dsDNA binding leads also to a loss of glomerular sequestration. Amino acid substitutions that increase relative affinity for dsDNA cause a change in localization of immunoglobulin deposition from glomeruli to renal tubules. These studies demonstrate that small numbers of amino acid substitutions can dramatically alter antigen binding and pathogenicity, and that the pathogenicity of anti-DNA antibodies does not strictly correlate with affinity for DNA.
