Recognition of Human IgG1 by Fcγ Receptors: Structural Insights from Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange and Fast Photochemical Oxidation of Proteins Coupled with Mass Spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is an effector function of immunoglobulins (IgGs) involved in the killing of target cells by a cytotoxic effector cell. Recognition of IgG by Fc receptors expressed on natural killer cells, mostly FcγIII receptors (FcγRIII), underpins the ADCC mechanism, thus motivating investigations of these interactions. In this paper, we describe the combination of hydrogen-deuterium exchange and fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP) coupled with mass spectrometry to study the interactions of the human IgG1/FcγRIII complex. Using these orthogonal approaches, we identified critical peptide regions and residues involved in the recognition of IgG1 by FcγRIII. The footprinting results are consistent with the previously published crystal structu
