    Abstract Diffusion is a fundamental process in biological systems that governs the molecular collisions driving biochemical reactions and membrane and transport. Measurement of the diffusion coefficient and application of the Stokes-Einstein equation produces the hydrodynamic radius, which is a commonly used gauge of particle size. Additionally, measurement of the diffusion coefficient and the sedimentation coefficient, and application of the Svedberg equation, yields the molecular weight, which is particularly useful in the characterization of very large macromolecules. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is the most common method to measure the diffusion coefficient of macromolecules. We describe a procedure to perform DLS measurements on monomeric bovine serum albumin (BSA) purified by size-exclusion chromatography using the Zetasizer Nano S particle size analyzer. We compare several analytical methods in existing software programs to estimate the diffusion coefficient of BSA (extrapolated to water at 20°C at infinite dilution,

    Abstract Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a plasma glycoprotein that circulates noncovalently bound to blood coagulation factor VIII (fVIII). VWF is a population of multimers composed of a variable number of ∼280 kDa monomers that is activated in shear flow to bind collagen and platelet glycoprotein Ibα. Electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, small-angle neutron scattering, and theoretical studies have produced a model in which the conformation of VWF under static conditions is a compact, globular "ball-of-yarn," implying strong, attractive forces between monomers. We performed sedimentation velocity (SV) analytical ultracentrifugation measurements on unfractionated VWF/fVIII complexes. There was a 20% per mg/ml decrease in the weight-average sedimentation coefficient, s

    Abstract Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a plasma glycoprotein that participates in platelet adhesion and aggregation and serves as a carrier for blood coagulation factor VIII (fVIII). Plasma VWF consists of a population of multimers that range in molecular weight from ∼ 0.55 MDa to greater than 10 MDa. The VWF multimer consists of a variable number of concatenated disulfide-linked ∼275 kDa subunits. We fractionated plasma-derived human VWF/fVIII complexes by size-exclusion chromatography at a pH of 7.4 and subjected them to analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate agarose gel electrophoresis, sedimentation velocity analytical ultracentrifugation (SV AUC), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and multi-angle light scattering (MALS).

    Abstract Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies contain a complex N-glycan embedded in the hydrophobic pocket between its heavy chain protomers. This glycan contributes to the structural organization of the Fc domain and determines its specificity for Fcγ receptors, thereby dictating distinct cellular responses. The variable construction of this glycan structure leads to highly-related, but non-equivalent glycoproteins known as glycoforms. We previously reported synthetic nanobodies that distinguish IgG glycoforms. Here, we present the structure of one such nanobody, X0, in complex with the Fc fragment of afucosylated IgG1. Upon binding, the elongated CDR3 loop of X0 undergoes a conformational shift to access the buried N-glycan and acts as a 'glycan sensor', forming hydrogen bonds with the afucosylated IgG N-glycan that would otherwise be sterically hindered by the presence of a core fucose residue. Based on this structure, we designed X0 fusion constructs that disrupt pathogenic afucosylated IgG1-FcγRIIIa interactions and rescue mice in a model of dengue virus infection.

    Abstract Introduction: Soluble antigens complexed with immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies can induce robust adaptive immune responses
    Methods: In this study, we analyzed internalization of FVIII complexed with epitope-mapped FVIII-specific IgG monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) by murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs)
    Results: FVIII complexed with 2-116 (A1 domain MAb), 2-113 (A3 domain MAb), and I55 (C2 domain MAb) significantly increased FVIII uptake by BMDC but only FVIII/2-116 enhanced antibody titers in FVIII
    Conclusion: These findings suggest that a subset of FVIII-IC modulates the humoral response to FVIII in an epitope-dependent manner, which may provide insight into the antibody response observed in some patients with hemophilia A.

    Abstract Activation of von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a tightly controlled process governed primarily by local elements around its A1 domain. Recent studies suggest that the O-glycosylated sequences flanking the A1 domain constitute a discontinuous and force-sensitive autoinhibitory module (AIM), although its extent and conformation remains controversial. Here, we used a targeted screening strategy to identify two groups of nanobodies. One group, represented by clone 6D12, is conformation-insensitive and binds the N-terminal AIM (NAIM) sequence that is distal from A1. 6D12 activates human VWF and induces aggregation of platelet-rich plasma at submicromolar concentrations. The other group, represented by clones Nd4 and Nd6, is conformation-sensitive and targets the C-terminal AIM (CAIM). Nd4 and Nd6 inhibit ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation and reduce VWF-mediated platelet adhesion under flow. A crystal structure of Nd6 in complex with AIM-A1 shows a novel conformation of both CAIM and NAIM that are primed to interact, providing a model of steric hindrance stabilized by the AIM as the mechanism for regulating GPIbα binding to VWF. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry analysis shows that binding of 6D12 induces the exposure of the GPIbα-binding site in the A1 domain, but binding of inhibitory nanobodies reduces it. Overall, these results suggest that the distal portion of NAIM is involved in specific interactions with CAIM, and that binding of nanobodies to the AIM could either disrupt its conformation to activate VWF or stabilize its conformation to upkeep VWF autoinhibition. These reported nanobodies could facilitate future studies of VWF functions and related pathologies.
