Comparative molecular dynamics study of neuromyelitis optica-immunoglobulin G binding to aquaporin-4 extracellular domains.
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system in which most patients have serum autoantibodies (called NMO-IgG) that bind to astrocyte water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4). A potential therapeutic strategy in NMO is to block the interaction of NMO-IgG with AQP4. Building on recent observation that some single-point and compound mutations of the AQP4 extracellular loop C prevent NMO-IgG binding, we carried out comparative Molecular Dynamics (MD) investigations on three AQP4 mutants, TP Topics: Amino Acid Motifs; Aquaporin 4; Autoantibodies; Binding Sites; Epitopes; Humans; Hydrogen Bonding; Immunoglobulin G; Lipid Bilayers; Models, Molecular; Molecular Dynamics Simulation; Mutation; Neuromyelitis Optica; Phosphatidylcholines; Protein Binding; Protein Conformation, alpha-Helical; Protein Interaction Domains and Motifs; Protein Multimerization; Thermodynamics | 2017 |
