Role of complementarity-determining regions 1 and 3 in pathologic amyloid formation by human immunoglobulin κ1 light chains
22 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulin light chain (LC) amyloidosis is a life-threatening disease complicated by vast numbers of patient-specific mutations. We explored 14 patient-derived and engineered proteins related to κ1-family germline genes IGKVLD-33*01 and IGKVLD-39*01. METHODS: Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry analysis of conformational dynamics in recombinant LCs and their fragments was integrated with...
