The ribosomal P proteins are specific and important autoantigens in patients affected by systemic lupus erythematosus. In this study, we describe for the first time the selection and characterization of recombinant human monoclonal anti-P protein (auto)-antibody fragments from an autoimmune patient-derived phage display antibody library. The selected recombinant anti-P antibodies specifically recognize the P proteins in immunofluorescence assays on HEp-2 cells and in immunoblotting assays, and they immunoprecipitate the P proteins under native conditions. Using both anti-P-positive patient sera and the selected recombinant anti-P antibodies, the immunodominant epitope was determined and shown to be located at the C-terminal end of the P proteins (amino acids 111-115). Inhibition of in vitro protein translation demonstrated that interaction of the monoclonal patient-derived anti-P antibodies with their native epitope functionally inhibits the activity of the P proteins on the ribosome, confirming the notion that patient autoantibodies are often directed to the functional centre of their autoantigenic target. 相似文献

Mice carrying chimeric, truncated or mutated genes encoding intermediate filament (IF) proteins type III do not show any
detectable severe pathology. However, upon (over)expression of the transgene in the eye lens all animals develop lens opacification
(cataract). At the cellular level the loss of visual acuity is preceded by interference with the terminal differentiation
of lens fibre cells, plasma membrane damage, distorted assembly of the IF cytoskeleton and perturbation of the cytoskeleton-membrane
complex. The degree of expression is paralleled by the extent of the damages.
