Se impide la secreción de una cadena de inmunoglobulinas lambda 2 mediante la sustitución de un solo aminoácido en su
Cell
|May 1, 1983
Resumen
Un solo cambio de aminoácido de glicina a arginina en la cadena de luz lambda 2 impide su secreción. Esta sustitución de la glicina por la arginina en la región variable de las células de mieloma de inmunoglobulina A (IgA) afecta a la exportación de proteínas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Inmunología Inmunología.
- Bioquímica de las proteínas Bioquímica de las proteínas
Sus antecedentes:
- Estudió dos derivados de la IgA (lambda 2) que secretan la línea celular del mieloma MOPC315.5.
- MOPC315.26 secreta la cadena ligera lambda 2, mientras que MOPC315.37 la produce pero no la secreta.
- Investigaciones anteriores indicaron que la alteración en la cadena lambda 2 de MOPC315-37 se encuentra en la región variable.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para determinar la alteración molecular específica responsable de la no secreción de la cadena de luz lambda 2 en MOPC315.37.
- Para dilucidar el impacto de una sola sustitución de aminoácidos en la secreción de proteínas.
Principales métodos:
- Clonó el fragmento genético reorganizado de lambda 2 de líneas celulares de mieloma secretoras (MOPC315.26) y no secretoras (MOPC315.37).
- Determinó las secuencias de nucleótidos de los genes clonados lambda 2.
Principales resultados:
- Las secuencias de nucleótidos para el péptido líder y la región constante de la cadena lambda 2 fueron idénticas en ambas líneas celulares.
- Las secuencias de la región variable diferían en un solo par de bases en la posición 15 del aminoácido.
- MOPC315.26 tiene glicina (GGT), mientras que MOPC315.37 tiene arginina (CGT) en esta posición.
Conclusiones:
- Una sola sustitución de aminoácidos, glicina (neutral) a arginina (cargada positivamente), en la región variable de la cadena de luz lambda 2 causa un fallo en la secreción de proteínas.
- Este hallazgo pone de relieve el papel crítico de propiedades específicas de aminoácidos en el transporte de proteínas y vías de secreción.

Antibody Structure
Overview
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts
Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.

Leaky Scanning
During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R stands for...
Insertion of Single-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER
Integral membrane proteins are proteins adhered to the lipid bilayer of a cell organelle or membrane. They can be of two types: transmembrane integral proteins that span the lipid bilayer and monotopic proteins that are attached to either side of the membrane but do not pass through it.
Integral transmembrane proteins possess transmembrane and extra membrane domains. The transmembrane domains are primarily made of 20-25 hydrophobic amino acids arranged in a helical secondary confirmation. These...

Diversity of Antigen Receptors
Antigen receptors are essential components of the immune system crucial in defending the body against foreign invaders. These receptors are present on the surface of B and T cells, enabling them to recognize antigens and mount an appropriate immune response.
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...

Antibody Structure and Classes
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are produced by B cells in response to foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses. These proteins are critical for recognizing and neutralizing these substances, protecting the body from potential harm.
The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.
