چکیده
Introduction: The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a member of the erbB class of tyrosine kinase receptors. These proteins are normally expressed at the surface of healthy cells and play critical roles in the signal transduction cascade in a myriad of biochemical pathways responsible for cell growth and differentiation. However, it is widely known that amplification and subsequent overexpression of the HER2 encoding oncogene results in unregulated cell proliferation in an aggressive form of breast cancer known as HER2-positive breast cancer. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are currently the fastest growing class of therapeutic proteins. The single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody is a minimal form of functional antibody comprised of the variable domains of immunoglobulin light and heavy chains connected by a flexible linker. Existing therapy such as trastuzumab (Herceptin®) scfv, a part of monoclonal antibody inhibitor is used in the treatment of HER2-positive cancers. Here, describe a targeted approach for affinity improvement of therapeutic antibodies. Material and methods: In this study, initially, the pdb structure (PDB ID:4x4x) of Herceptin scfv was obtained from www.PBD.com and then was submitted to Hotspot Wizard server. The obtained results were evaluated in order to find an amino acid with a high mutability which located at the mouth of the binding site. Thus, Gly56 of chain D was chosen for further analysis. At first the three dimensional (3-D) structure of HER2 was taken from www.PDB.com. Homology modeling of Herceptin scfv mutant containing G56S mutation was performed using 3-D model of native Herceptin scfv (PDB ID: 4x4x) by SWISS-MODEL server. Then, molecular docking simulation was done using Molegro Virtual Docker 2010.4.1.0 and AutoDockTools-1.5.6. Results: The results indicated that this mutation with increase hydrogen bond between amino acids and improve binding affinity may cause increasing in binding energy and it seems that G56S mutation play important role in binding site of Herceptin scfv.کلیدواژه ها

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
