Abstract
Cellular functions are mostly defined by the dynamic interactions of proteins within macromolecular networks. Deciphering the composition of macromolecular complexes and their dynamic rearrangements is the key to get a comprehensive picture of cellular behavior and to understand biological systems. In the past two decades, affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry has become a powerful tool to comprehensively study interaction networks and their assemblies. To overcome initial limitations of the approach, in particular, the effect of protein and RNA degradation, loss of transient interactors, and poor overall yield of intact complexes from cell lysates, various modifications to affinity purification protocols have been devised over the years. In this chapter, we describe a rapid single-step affinity purification method for the efficient isolation of dynamic macromolecular complexes. The technique employs cell lysis by cryo-milling, which ensures nondegraded starting material in the submicron range, and magnetic beads, which allow for dense antibody-conjugation and thus rapid complex isolation, while avoiding loss of transient interactions. The method is epitope tag-independent, and overcomes many of the previous limitations to produce large interactomes with almost no contamination. The protocol as described here has been optimized for the yeast S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Ro52/TRIM21 plays a key role in antibody-dependent pathogen neutralization and is a major autoantigen in systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome (SS), and other autoimmune diseases. Here we evaluated immunoreactivity against Ro52-related molecules in SS and healthy volunteers. Although most proteins examined were not antigenic, several TRIM paralogs, including TRIM22, and TRIM38, showed sporadic immunoreactivity in SS. In contrast, the murine Ro52 ortholog with limited linear homology demonstrated high levels of autoantibodies implicating the importance of shared conformational epitopes. To further explore the autoantigencity of Ro52, deletion and point mutant analyses were employed revealing previously hidden, robust autoantibodies directed against its C-terminal immunoglobulin-binding domain. Another autoantibody, rheumatoid factor, targeting the Fc region of IgG, strongly overlapped with Ro52 seropositivity (odds ratio 14; P < 0.0001). These convergent mechanistic findings support a model whereby intracellular Ro52-bound antibody-coated pathogen complexes, released or misprocessed from infected cells, drive autoantigenicity against Ro52 and the Fc region of IgG.

Abstract
Protein tags of various sizes and shapes catalyze progress in biosciences. Well-folded tags can serve to solubilize proteins. Small, unfolded, peptide-like tags have become invaluable tools for protein purification as well as protein-protein interaction studies. Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs), which lack unique 3D structures, received exponentially increasing attention during the last decade. Recently, large ID tags have been developed to solubilize proteins and to engineer the pharmacological properties of protein and peptide pharmaceuticals. Here, we contrast the complementary benefits and applications of both folded and ID tags based on predictions of ID. Less structure often means more function in a shorter tag.

Abstract
In the present work, we developed the Fc-III tagged protein expression system for protein purification and detection. The Fc-III sequence encodes for a 13 residue peptide and this peptide is cyclized by disulfide bond formation when the fusion protein is expressed. The Fc-III-fusion proteins selectively bind to immunoglobulin Fc domains (IgG-Fc) expressed from E. coli. We showed the efficient purification of Fc-III tagged proteins by immobilized non-native IgG-Fc and the detection of the cellular locations of fusion proteins by fluorescent-conjugated IgG-Fc. Our results prove that Fc-III tagged protein expression system is a simple and efficient tool for protein purification and detection and is a useful addition to the biochemistry and proteomics toolbox.

Abstract
In human brain the flavoprotein D-amino acid oxidase (hDAAO) is responsible for the degradation of the neuromodulator D-serine, an important effector of NMDA-receptor mediated neurotransmission. Experimental evidence supports the concept that D-serine concentration increase by hDAAO inhibition may represent a valuable therapeutic approach to improve the symptoms in schizophrenia patients. This study investigated the effects on hDAAO conformation and stability of the substrate D-serine (or of the pseudo-substrate trifluoro-D-alanine), the FAD cofactor, and two inhibitors (benzoate, a classical substrate-competitive inhibitor and the drug chlorpromazine (CPZ), which competes with the cofactor). We demonstrated that all these compounds do not alter the interaction of hDAAO with its physiological partner pLG72. The ligands used affect the tertiary structure of hDAAO differently: benzoate or trifluoro-D-alanine binding increases the amount of the holoenzyme form in solution and stabilizes the flavoprotein, while CPZ binding favors a protein conformation resembling that of the apoprotein, which is more sensitive to degradation. Interestingly, the apoprotein form of hDAAO binds the substrate D-serine: this interaction increases FAD binding thus increasing the amount of active holoenzyme in solution. Benzoate and CPZ similarly modify the short-term cellular D-serine concentration but affect the cellular concentration of hDAAO differently. In conclusion, the different alteration of hDAAO conformation and stability by the ligands used represents a further parameter to take into consideration during the development of new drugs to cope schizophrenia.

Abstract
Specific immunoadsorption of blood group antibodies by synthetic antigens immobilized on support matrices in the peri-transplantation period provides a promising solution to hyperacute rejection risk following ABO-incompatible transplantation. In this study, we investigated binding interactions between anti-A antibodies and synthetic blood group A trisaccharide conjugated with polyacrylamide of different molecular weights (30 and 1000 kDa). The glycopolymers were equipped with biotin tags and deposited on streptavidin-coated sensor chips. The affinity and kinetics of anti-A antibodies binding to glycoconjugates were studied using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The high molecular weight conjugate (Atri-PAA(1000)-biotin) enhanced antibody binding capacity by two to three fold compared with the low molecular weight conjugate (Atri-PAA(30)-biotin), whereas varying the carbohydrate content in Atri-PAA(1000)-biotin (20 mol % or 50 mol %) did not affect antibody binding capacity of the glycoconjugate. The obtained results suggest that immunoadsorption devices, especially hollow fiber-based antibody filters which are limited in available surface area for antigen immobilization, may greatly benefit from the new synthetic high molecular weight polyacrylamide glycoconjugates.

Abstract
The design of small synthetic molecules that can be used to affect gene expression is an area of active interest for development of agents in therapeutic and biotechnology applications. Many compounds that target the minor groove in AT sequences in DNA are well characterized and are promising reagents for use as modulators of protein-DNA complexes. The mammalian high-mobility-group transcriptional factor HMGA2 also targets the DNA minor groove and plays critical roles in disease processes from cancer to obesity. Biosensor-surface plasmon resonance methods were used to monitor HMGA2 binding to target sites on immobilized DNA, and a competition assay for inhibition of the HMGA2-DNA complex was designed. HMGA2 binds strongly to the DNA through AT hook domains with KD values of 20-40 nM depending on the DNA sequence. The well-characterized minor groove binder netropsin was used to develop and test the assay. The compound has two binding sites in the protein-DNA interaction sequence, and this provides an advantage for inhibition. An equation for analysis of results when the inhibitor has two binding sites in the biopolymer recognition surface is presented with the results. The assay provides a platform for discovery of HMGA2 inhibitors.

Abstract
The human tripartite motif (TRIM) family comprises 70 members, including HIV restriction factor TRIM5alpha and disease-associated proteins TRIM20 (pyrin) and TRIM21. TRIM proteins have conserved domain architecture but diverse cellular roles. Here, we describe how the C-terminal PRYSPRY domain mediates diverse TRIM functions. The crystal structure of TRIM21 PRYSPRY in complex with its target IgG Fc reveals a canonical binding interface comprised of two discrete pockets formed by antibody-like variable loops. Alanine scanning of this interface has identified the hot-spot residues that control TRIM21 binding to Fc; the same hot-spots control HIV/murine leukemia virus restriction by TRIM5alpha and mediate severe familial Mediterranean fever in TRIM20/pyrin. Characterization of the IgG binding site for TRIM21 PRYSPRY reveals TRIM21 as a superantigen analogous to bacterial protein A and suggests that an antibody bipolar bridging mechanism may contribute to the pathogenic accumulation of anti-TRIM21 autoantibody immune complex in autoimmune disease.

Abstract
A problem faced in proteomics studies is the recovery of tagged protein complexes in their native and active form. Here we describe a peptide, Bio-Ox, that mimics the immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding interface of Staphylococcus aureus Protein A, and competitively displaces affinity-purified Protein A fusion proteins and protein complexes from IgG-Sepharose. We show that Bio-Ox elution is a robust method for the efficient and rapid recovery of native tagged proteins, and can be applied to a variety of structural genomics and proteomics studies.

Abstract
The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon is utilized in a number of new real time biosensors. In this study, we have used this technique to study interactions between the central complement component C3b and its multiple ligands by using the Biacore equipment. The SPR technique is particularly suitable for analysis of the alternative complement pathway (AP) because the inherent nature of the latter is to amplify deposition of C3b on various surfaces. C3b was coupled onto the sensor surface and the coupling efficiency was compared under various conditions on both polystyrene and carboxymethylated dextran surfaces. After enzymatic C3b coupling or standard amine C3b coupling, we analyzed and compared the binding of four C3b ligands to the surface: factor B, factor H, C5 and the soluble complement receptor 1 (sCR1, CD35). Binding of each ligand to C3b was detected when C3b had been coupled either enzymatically or using the amine coupling, but the half-lives of the interactions were found to vary depending on the coupling procedure. Factor H binds to C3b via three interaction sites. The target sites are exposed on the C3b, C3c and C3d fragments of C3, respectively. Therefore, we also tested by using the Biacore whether factor B, C5 and sCR1 bind to C3c and/or C3d. It was found that factor B bound to C3d, but not to C3c. On the other hand, both C5 and sCR1 bound to C3c, but not to C3d. In conclusion, this study shows that SPR is a powerful tool in analyzing and mapping the interactions of C3b with its multiple ligands.

Abstract
The hinge region on the Fc fragment of human immunoglobulin G interacts with at least four different natural protein scaffolds that bind at a common site between the C(H2) and C(H3) domains. This "consensus" site was also dominant for binding of random peptides selected in vitro for high affinity (dissociation constant, about 25 nanomolar) by bacteriophage display. Thus, this site appears to be preferred owing to its intrinsic physiochemical properties, and not for biological function alone. A 2.7 angstrom crystal structure of a selected 13-amino acid peptide in complex with Fc demonstrated that the peptide adopts a compact structure radically different from that of the other Fc binding proteins. Nevertheless, the specific Fc binding interactions of the peptide strongly mimic those of the other proteins. Juxtaposition of the available Fc-complex crystal structures showed that the convergent binding surface is highly accessible, adaptive, and hydrophobic and contains relatively few sites for polar interactions. These are all properties that may promote cross-reactive binding, which is common to protein-protein interactions and especially hormone-receptor complexes.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used to monitor the interaction of alphaGal-antibodies from human blood group O serum with linear blood group B-saccharides, employing Galalpha1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-HSA immobilised on a sensor chip surface. Strong binding of antibodies, as evident from high relative response values exceeding 200 RU, was observed. The interaction was influenced by the nature of the oligosaccharide that was added to the antibody sample prior to measurement. For example, the addition of either of the linear B-saccharides Galalpha1-3Gal and Galalpha1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc produced complete inhibition of antibody binding to the sensor surface, whereas the addition of the related but non-specific blood group A saccharide, GalNAcalpha1-3(Fucalpha1-2)Gal, had little effect on binding. The technique was used for the rapid monitoring of the removal of alphaGal-antibodies from human serum by affinity columns, which contained either Galalpha1-3Gal or Galalpha1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc as ligand. The above carbohydrates are currently evaluated as inhibitors or as affinity ligands, in the prevention of hyperacute rejection during xenotransplantation.

Abstract
Antibodies to DNA define an important autospecificity that arises in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To elucidate the molecular features that may explain the pathogenesis of SLE, a heterologous system for expression of cloned V genes is often desirable. Here, a single-chain Fv coding domain was constructed by using the heavy- and light-chain V genes of a high-affinity site-directed mutant of the murine anti-dsDNA autoantibody, 3H9. This scFv was joined in frame to the c-jun leucine zipper for dimerization, and to two affinity tags, domain B of the staphylococcal protein A and a pentahistidine peptide, for purification. Dimerization of the scFv was determined by size-exclusion chromatography. The yields of the scFv following affinity purification on IgG agarose or Ni-NTA agarose were compared, and the activities of the resulting protein fractions were determined. A two-step purification of periplasmic extracts on Ni-NTA agarose and IgG agarose, followed by elution with 3.5 M MgCl(2), yielded scFv with the highest specific activity. The final purified material bound DNA by ELISA, electrophoretic mobility shift assay, and immunofluorescence of fixed Hep-2 cells. Antibodies purified in this fashion should have applications in structure/function studies in which it is essential to generate highly purified antigen-combining sites.

Abstract
A method was developed for the quantification of protein-ligand interactions in which the free protein present in homogeneous reaction mixtures was separated and quantified using a KinExA immunoassay instrument. Separation was achieved by rapid percolation of the reaction mixture over a column of microbeads whose surfaces were coated with an immobilized form of the ligand. The protein thus captured was quantified using a fluorescently labeled anti-protein antibody. The features of this new method were illustrated using a model system in which each of the principal reagents was covalently labeled with a different fluorescent molecule: mouse monoclonal anti-biotin primary antibody (fluorescein), biotin (B-phycoerythrin), and goat anti-mouse polyclonal secondary antibody (indodicarbocyanin). Values for the equilibrium and kinetic rate constants for the binding between the anti-biotin antibody and biotin conjugated with B-phycoerythrin were determined and shown to be independent of whether the fluorescent label was located on the primary or secondary antibody. Equilibrium binding experiments conducted with (F(AB))(2) and corresponding F(AB) fragments showed that the valency of the binding protein had no influence on the value of the dissociation constant. The values of the equilibrium and rate constants obtained by this new method are those for the binding reaction in homogeneous solution; the immobilized ligand is only a tool exploited for the separation and quantification of the free protein.

Abstract
Real-time biospecific interactions of immunogens, measured via BIAcore, were used to verify qualitatively a biosensor design which relies on analyte binding competition reactions to open cross-linked receptor channels. The complexes of importance are: (1) cardiac troponin I (TnI) and monoclonal mouse anti-TnI IgG mAb 265, (2) TnI and bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) which on one end recognize TnI while the other end recognizes nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), (3) nAChRs and rat anti-nAChR IgG mAb 148, (4) nAChRs and BsAbs, (5) nAChRs and Fab'148-TnI biopolymers, and (6) mAb 265 and Fab-TnI biopolymers. A commonly used sensor chip, CM5, was employed to immobilize TnI by covalent amine coupling, while bilayer membrane-associated protein, nAChR, was noncovalently sequestered on a HPA sensor chip via hydrophobic adsorption of membrane lipids. The epitopes of membrane-bound nAChRs were still available to immunogens after being immobilized. Kinetic rate constants and affinities of these systems were calculated from BIAcore sensorgrams. The order of magnitude for dissociation rate constants of the BsAb/TnI linker complex and biopolymer/mAb 265 complex is 10(-2) s-1, which provides an opportunity for competitive binding of free analyte in the sensing systems.

Abstract
The interaction of monovalent forms of NC41, an anti-viral neuraminidase antibody, and the antiidiotype antibody 11-1G10 has been used as a model system for BIAcore analysis to demonstrate the potential problems resulting from the nonspecific amine coupling procedure. To avoid complications due to antibody bivalency, monovalent Fab fragments and monomeric recombinant scFvs were used. When immobilized by amine coupling, the 11-1G10 anti-idiotype fragments were found to have an artificially reduced affinity for NC41 compared to the results obtained using site-directed immobilization via C-terminal thiol residue and from solution equilibrium measurements. The NC41 antibody fragments, on the other hand, were able to retain their 11-1G10 binding affinity when immobilized nonspecifically through free amine groups. These data, in combination with the known sequences of the two antibodies, suggested that nonspecific immobilization through one or more lysine residues close to or within the CDR2 region of the 11-1G10 VH domain was responsible for the reduced strength of the interaction with NC41. These results emphasize the need to use site-specific immobilization strategies when accurate kinetic measurements are required.

Abstract
The interaction of monovalent Fab fragments of NC10, an antiviral neuraminidase antibody, and the anti-idiotype antibody 3-2G12 has been used as a model system to demonstrate experimentally the influence of non-ideal binding effects on BIAcore binding data. Because the association rate constant for these two molecules was found to be relatively high (about 5 x 10(5) M-1 S-1), mass transfer was recognised as a potential source of error in the analysis of the interaction kinetics. By manipulation of the flow rate and the surface density of the immobilised ligand, however, the magnitude to this error was minimised. In addition, the application of site-specific immobilisation procedures was found to improve considerably the correlation of experimental binding data to the ideal 1:1 kinetic model such that the discrepancy between experimental and fitted curves was within the noise range of the instrument. Experiments performed to measure the equilibrium constant (KD) in solution resulted in a value of similar magnitude to those obtained from the ratio of the kinetic rate constants, even those measured with a heterogeneous ligand or with a significant mass transfer component. For this system, the experimental complexities introduced by covalent immobilisation did not lead to large errors in the KD values obtained using the BIAcore.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance biosensors have become increasingly popular for the qualitative and quantitative characterization of the specific binding of a mobile reactant to a binding partner immobilized on the sensor surface. This article reviews the use of this new technique to measure the binding affinities and the kinetic constants of reversible interactions between biological macromolecules. Immobilization techniques, the most commonly employed experimental strategies, and various analytical approaches are summarized. In recent years, several sources of potential artifacts have been identified: immobilization of the binding partner, steric hindrance of binding to adjacent binding sites at the sensor surface, and finite rate of mass transport of the mobile reactant to the sensor surface. Described here is the influence of these artifacts on the measured binding kinetics and equilibria, together with suggested control experiments.

Abstract
The interaction of salivary lysozyme with the surface protein antigen (PAc) of Streptococcus mutans and the interaction of lysozyme with the pathogen were examined by ELISA using S. mutans MT8148 (PAc+) and the PAc-defective mutant EM-2 (PAc-). The lysozyme clearly bound to the S. mutans wild type but not to the S. mutans mutant. Furthermore, lysozyme bound directly in the fluid phase to the rPAc, of which the binding kinetics were determined (Kon = 3.63 +/- 0.04 x 10(3) M-1 s-1, K(off) = 1.72 +/- 0.04 x 10-5 s-1 and Kon/K(off) = 2.11 x 10(8) M-1) using surface plasmon resonance. The kinetics of both association and dissociation were relatively slow. In addition, anti-lysozyme antibody significantly inhibited the binding of salivary components to the rPAc. The present findings indicate that lysozyme is one of the major salivary components interacting with S. mutans PAc.
