Fig. 4. IgG hinge architecture controls E104 inhibitory effect on β-tryptase.

Fig. 4

a Cartoon representation of IgG and sequence comparison of the hinge regions of human IgG1, 2, and 4. b Cartoon depiction of Fab wingspans for IgG1, 2, and 4. IgG1 and 4 exhibit wingspans between 120° and 180° (Y to T shape) while IgG2 has a narrower wingspan around 120° (predominantly Y shape). c Inhibition of β-tryptase activity by E104.v2 IgG1 having extended (+G, +GG, +GGS or +(GGS)3) and shortened (-H, -TH, -KTH) hinges. d, Inhibition of β-tryptase activity by E104.v2 IgG1 having different flexibilities (G5 vs. P5) or constraints (C, CC). Data is represented as mean ± s.d. (n = 3 biologically independent experiments). Graphs were created using Kaleidagraph v4.1.3 and images were created in Adobe Illustrator v16.
