Fig. 3. Shared characteristics of AR3C-class bNAbs.

Fig. 3

a Superposition of structures of AR3C-class bNAbs AR3C, AR3A, AR3B, AR3D, HEPC3, HEPC74, and AT1209 (PDB entries: 4MWF, 6BKB, 6BKC 6BKD 6MEI, 6MEH, 7T6X, respectively) on the E1E2 complex (PDB: 7T6X) which bind to the same AR3 epitope on the neutralizing face of E2. Only the variable heavy (VH) regions of the bNAbs are shown for clarity. Left panel: superposition of the CDRH2 (Kabat: 50-65). The exceptionally long CDRH2 of AT1209 is highlighted in orange. Right panel: superposition of the CDRH3 loops (Kabat: 91-104) of mature AR3C-class bNAbs with a bent (AR3A, AR3B, AR3C, AR3D, and AT1209) and straight CDRH3 (HEPC3 and HEPC74). b Length distribution of human CDRH2 (left) and CDRH3 (right). Human CDRH2 lengths were extracted from the online abYsis system (http://www.bioinf.org.uk/abysis/) using the Kabat numbering scheme Kabat and National Institutes of Health (U.S.). Highlighted are the relative positions of the AR3C-class antibodies.
