The interaction of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) binding site domain with specific antibodies and with alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BTX) has been compared. The cloned and expressed ligand binding domain of the mouse AChR alpha-subunit binds alpha-BTX, whereas the mongoose-expressed domain is not recognized by alpha-BTX. On the other hand, both the mouse and mongoose domains bind to the site-specific monoclonal antibody 5.5. These results demonstrate that the structural requirements for binding of alpha-BTX and mcAb 5.5, both of which interact with the AChR binding site, are distinct from each other.
已对乙酰胆碱受体(AChR)结合位点结构域与特异性抗体及α-银环蛇毒素(α-BTX)的相互作用进行了比较。小鼠AChRα亚基的克隆和表达的配体结合结构域可结合α-BTX,而猫鼬表达的结构域则不被α-BTX识别。另一方面,小鼠和猫鼬的结构域均与位点特异性单克隆抗体5.5结合。这些结果表明,与AChR结合位点相互作用的α-BTX和单克隆抗体5.5的结合结构要求彼此不同。
