Revised Manuscript Received February 28, 1995® abstract: Time-resolved fluorescence experiments were performed to investigate the dynamic aspects of the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) of a high-affinity monoclonal antibody (4—4—20) which binds the fluorescent hapten fluorescein. Both the unliganded Faband a complex of the Fab with a nonfluorescent analog of fluorescein (fluoresceinamine, FLM) were examined. A fluorescence polarization probe [5-[[2-[(iodoacetyl) amino] ethyl] amino] naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid, AEDANS] was covalently attached tothe C-terminus of the Fab. Experiments were performed at three different temperatures (10, 25, and 35 C), and phase-modulation data sets were collected for five different molar ratios of FLM to Fab at each temperature. Global analyses were then used to extract values for fluorescence lifetime and rotational correlation time from these data. In the lifetime analysis the best fit was obtained when the emission of AEDANS was described by a Lorentzian distribution of lifetimes (r= 15.6 ns, distribution width=3.4 ns, both at 25 C), which suggested that the probe experienced a heterogeneous environment. Anisotropy analyses suggested that two different rotational components were present. The first was attributed to the global motion of the Fab and exhibited a rotational correlation time () of ca. 33 ns at 25 C. This component was relatively unaffected by antigen binding. Thesecond rotational component was attributed to the local or segmental motion within the Fab and exhibited a rotational correlation time (2) of 1.1 ns at 25 C. This value increased by more than 50% upon antigen binding, a result which was consistent with molecular dynamics simulations of the same Fab—fluorescein system [Lim & Herron (1995) Biochemistry 34, 6962—6974], Furthermore, statistical analysis showed that this increase was significant at the95% confidence level.
