| Popis: | Glycosylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications which diversifies the structure and function of glycoproteins like immunoglobulin G (IgG). The effector function of IgG depends on N-glycan patterns located in the crystalline fragment (Fc). Fc gamma receptor (FcγR)-binding affinity is one of the most important effector functions in IgG, and it varies with different IgG isotypes. Murine IgG1 (mIgG1) triggers various immune effector functions via FcγRs, however, how N-glycans of mIgG1 impact interactions between mIgG1s and murine FcγRs remains largely unknown. Here, we generated mIgG1s with different N-glycan patterns by adding different types of N-glycan processing enzyme inhibitors to the hybridoma culture media, before comparing their FcγR-binding affinity using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis. We showed that N-glycans critically affect mIgG1 affinity to FcγRs. The removal of N-glycans nearly completely abolished mIgG1-FcγR binding. In comparison, when N-glycans are present, decreasing fucosylation levels enhanced the FcγR-binding affinity regardless of the types of N-glycans. Furthermore, high-mannose type and hybrid type N-glycans reduced FcγR-binding affinity, compared to complex type N-glycans. In conclusion, our findings clearly demonstrate that FcγR-binding affinity of mIgG1 is under the control of glycosylation. Importantly, we found that both the levels of specific glycosylation as well as the types of N-glycans affect FcγR-binding affinity. Together, these insights should greatly expand our understanding of N-glycans function in general, and assist in manipulating host immune responses by controlling antibody N-glycan patterns, which is important for designing therapeutic antibodies with improved characteristics. |
