Metal-dependent hydrolysis of myelin basic protein by IgGs from the sera of patients with multiple sclerosis.

Abstract:

:Homogeneous IgG fractions were obtained by chromatography of the sera of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) on Protein G-Sepharose under conditions that remove non-specifically bound proteins. These IgGs contained several chelated metals, the relative amount of which decreases in the order: Fe>or=Ca>Cu>or=Zn>or=Mg>or=Mn>or=Pb>or=Co>or=Ni. In contrast to homogeneous IgGs of healthy individuals, Abs of MS patients effectively hydrolyzed human myelin basic protein (MBP). A minor metal-dependent fraction was obtained by chromatography of highly purified IgGs from MS patient on Chelex-100. This IgG fraction did not hydrolyze human MBP in the absence of Me(2+) ions but was activated after addition of Me(2+) ions: Mg(2+)>Mn(2+)>Cu(2+)>Ca(2+). Proteolytic activities of IgGs from other MS patients were also activated by other metal ions (Ni(2+), Fe(2+), Co(2+), Zn(2+), Pb(2+), and Co(2+)) and especially Ni(2+). Ni(2+)-activated IgGs were separated into distinct MBP-hydrolyzing fractions by chromatography on HiTraptrade mark Chelating Sepharose charged with Ni(2+). Detection of Mg(2+)-dependent proteolytic activity in the SDS-PAGE area corresponding only to IgG provided direct evidence that IgG from sera of MS patients possesses metal-dependent human MBP-hydrolyzing activity. Observed properties of MS abzymes distinguish them from other known mammalian metalloproteases and demonstrate their pronounced catalytic diversity. Metal-dependent IgGs from MS patients represent the first example of abzymes with metal-dependent proteolytic activity.
