Analyzing patterns in tyrosine sulfation in naive antibody repertoires

HIV-1 infects a subset of immune cells identified by the receptor CD4 and a coreceptor, CCR5 or CXCR4. Previous studies revealed bnAbs against HIV-1 with antigen-binding sites mimicking binding sites of CCR5. Such antibodies are characterized by post-translationally sulfated tyrosines and anionic motifs in long complementarity determining regions 3 (CDR3s) of the heavy chains. Despite the great therapeutic potential of human antibodies mimicking CCR5, their immunogenetic signatures remain unknown. In this study, we analyzed human naive heavy chain antibody repertoires and described the most common VDJ recombination scenarios generating CDR3s with sulfated tyrosines and anionic motifs. We showed ~77% of such CDR3s are generated using seven D genes from two families, IGHD3 and IGHD4. We also demonstrated that sulfated tyrosines and anionic motifs are a common feature of mammalian germline D genes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
