تركيب الجسم المضاد

<h4>نظره عامه</h4>

الأجسام المضادة ، و المعروفة أيضا باسم الجلوبولين المناعي (Ig) ، وهي تلعب دوراً أساسياً في جهاز المناعة التكيفي. يتم إنتاج هذه البروتينات المرتبطة بالمستضد بواسطة الخلايا البائية وتشكل ٢٠ بالمائة من إجمالي بلازما الدم بالوزن. في الثدييات ، تنقسم الأجسام المضادة إلى خمس فئات مختلفة ، كل منها يثير استجابة بيولوجية مختلفة عند الارتباط بالمستضد.

<h4>هيكل الأجسام المضادة على شكل Y يتكون من أربع سلاسل متعددة الببتيد</h4>

تتكون الأجسام المضادة من أربع سلاسل متعددة الببتيد: سلسلتان ثقيلتان متطابقتان تحتوي كل منهما على ما يقرب من ٤٤٠ حمض أميني ، وسلسلتان خفيفتان متطابقتان تتكون كل منهما من ٢٢٠ حمض أميني تقريباً. يتم ترتيب هذه السلاسل في هيكل على شكل Y يتم تثبيته معاً بواسطة مجموعة من روابط ثنائي الكبريتيد التساهمية والروابط غير التساهمية. علاوة على ذلك ، تحمل معظم الأجسام المضادة بقايا السكر. تسمى عملية إضافة سلاسل السكر الجانبية إلى البروتين بالارتباط بالجليكوزيل.

<h4>الوحدات الفرعية للجسم المضاد لها وظائف مختلفة</h4>

تساهم كل من السلسلة الخفيفة والسلسلة الثقيلة في موقع ارتباط المستضد عند كل طرف من أطراف بنية Y. هذه الأحماض الأمينية ١١٠-١٣٠ متغيرة بدرجة كبيرة للسماح بالتعرف على عدد غير محدود تقريباً من المستضدات. تسمى هذه المنطقة أيضاً المنطقة المتغيرة وهي جزء من جزء الربط الخاص بالمستضد.

كل ذراع للوحدة على شكل حرف Y يحمل موقع ربط مستضد متطابق. يمكن للأجسام المضادة أن تربط المستضدات المتشابكة: عندما ترتبط ذراع واحدة بمستضد واحد وترتبط الذراع الأخرى بمستضد ثانٍ متطابق هيكلياً. يتم تسهيل الربط المتقاطع من خلال منطقة المفصلة المرنة التي تربط أذرع الجسم المضاد بالساق وتسمح بمسافات متغيرة بين مواقع ربط المستضد. يتم بعد ذلك ابتلاع المشابك الكبيرة من المستضدات المتشابكة بسرعة أكبر وبسهولة بواسطة البلعمية الكبيرة ، مما يؤدي إلى إزالة كميات أكبر من المستضد دفعة واحدة.

تسمى المنطقة الجذعية للجسم المضاد أيضاً الجزء القابل للتبلور (Fc) وتحدد وظيفة المستجيب للجسم المضاد. عبر مجال الجزء القابل للتبلور ، يمكن أن يتفاعل الجسم المضاد مع مستقبلات الجزء القابل للتبلور على الخلايا المناعية الأخرى ، مثل الخلايا البائية والبلعمية والخلايا البدينة. غالباً ما تكون منطقة الجزء القابل للتبلور مرتبطة بالجليكوزيل ، مما يعيق أو يسمح بالوصول إلى مستقبلات الجزء القابل للتبلور. وبالتالي ، فإن تغيير حالة الارتباط بالجليكوزيل في الجسم المضاد يسمح بالتعديل السريع لوظيفة الجسم المضاد.

<h4>الثدييات لديها خمس فئات من الأجسام المضادة</h4>

تصنف الأجسام المضادة حسب عدد هياكلها ذات شكل Y ونوع السلاسل الثقيلة. تحتوي الأجسام المضادة من فئة IgD و IgE و IgG على هيكل واحد على شكل Y ، مما يوفر موقعين متطابقين لربط مستضد عند أطراف أذرعهم. بمصطلحات علمية أكثر: لديهم تكافؤ اثنين. ومع ذلك ، يختلف IgD و IgE و IgG في تكوين روابط ثنائي الكبريتيد وغير تساهمية بين سلسلتيهما الثقيلتين. يمكن أن يحدث IgA كمونومر أو ثنائى ، يشبه اثنين من Y المنضمين عند قاعدتهما. بصفته ثنائياً ، يحتوي IgA على أربعة مواقع متطابقة لربط مستضد _ تكافؤ من أربعة. يمكن أن يحدث IgM كمونومر ولكن غالباً ما يتم مواجهته على شكل خماسي ، مما يمنحه تكافؤاً قدره ١٠.

<h4>الفئات الخمس من الأجسام المضادة تؤدي وظائف المناعة المختلفة</h4>

الأجسام المضادة IgG هي أكثر جزيئات الأجسام المضادة وفرة في الدم ويتم إفرازها بكميات كبيرة عند مواجهة باثوجينات معينة للمرة الثانية. تساهم الأجسام المضادة IgG في القضاء على الباثوجينات بعدة طرق. إنهم يطهون الباثوجينات لتحفيز البلعمة عن طريق البلعمية الكبيرة أو العدلات. يتم تعزيز نشاط هذه الخلايا البلعمية من خلال النظام المكمل ، وهو سلسلة من البروتينات الأنزيمية. يتم تشغيل النظام المكمل نفسه بواسطة IgG. علاوة على ذلك ، فإن الأجسام المضادة IgG هي الأجسام المضادة الوحيدة التي يمكنها عبور المشيمة من الأم إلى الجنين. يتم إفرازها أيضاً في حليب الأم ، مما يوفر مناعة سلبية تحمي الرضيع من العدوى.

يحمي IgA الأسطح المخاطية مثل الجهاز الهضمي و الجهاز التنفسي و المسالك البولية التناسلية. إنه في المقام الأول يحيد البكتيريا ، ويمنع حركتها عبر الظهارة. يتم إفراز IgA أيضاً في المخاط والدموع واللعاب واللبأ (إفراز ثدي الأم الغني بالأجسام المضادة في الأيام الأولى بعد الولادة). يوجد IgA على شكل ثنائى عندما يتم إفرازه وكمونومر في سوائل الجسم.

مونومرات فئة IgM هي أول من يظهر على الخلايا البائية الساذجة. IgMs هي الفئة الرئيسية من الأجسام المضادة التي تفرزها الخلايا البائية استجابةً للتعرض الأول لمستضد _ استجابة الجسم المضاد الأولية. عندما يرتبط مستضد بجزيء IgM ، فإنه ينشط النظام المكمل ويحيد الباثوجينات.

وظائف الأجسام المضادة IGD ليست مفهومة جيدا و لكن يبدو أنها تشبه وظائف IgM.

من الصعب دراسة IgE نظراً لانخفاض مستوياتها في سوائل الجسم وهي معروفة في الغالب بتأثيرها السلبي على رفاهية الإنسان: الحساسية. أثناء رد الفعل التحسسي ، يرتبط IgE بمستضده المشابه. بعد ذلك ، ترتبط منطقة الجزء القابل للبلورة من IgE بالخلايا البدينة والخلايا القاعدية ، وهي نوع من خلايا الدم البيضاء. يؤدي تفاعل IgE ومستقبل الجزء القابل للبلورة على سطح الخلية إلى إطلاق الهيستامين والإنترلوكينات ، والتي بدورها تسبب أعراض الحساسية مثل العطس والحكة.

<h4>يتم إنتاج الأجسام المضادة للبحث والتشخيص والعلاج في الحيوانات</h4>

تُعد الأجسام المضادة أداة مهمة في العديد من تخصصات البحث وكذلك في تشخيص المرض وعلاجه في بعض الأحيان. لإنتاج الأجسام المضادة ، يتم حقن مستضد في مزرعة أو حيوان معمل ، غالباً الأرانب أو الدجاج أو الهامستر أو الماعز ، ثم يتم عزله لاحقاً من دم الحيوان.

نظره عامه
الأجسام المضادة ، المعروفة أيضا باسم الغلوبولين المناعي (Ig) ، هي لاعبون أساسيون في الجهاز المناعي التكيفي. يتم إنتاج هذه البروتينات المرتبطة بالمستضد ...

KEY TERMS AND CONCEPTS

المصطلحات والمفاهيم الأساسية

antibody heavy and light chains

Antibodies are built from heavy and light chains that work together to form a Y-shaped molecule. These chains give the antibody its basic structure and help it bind to specific targets.

The two upper arms of the Y contain the variable regions, which differ from one antibody to another. These variable regions help determine which antigen, or foreign molecule, the antibody can recognize.

The lower part of the antibody is the constant region. This region is more similar across antibodies and helps define the antibody class. The structure of the chains also supports the antibody’s overall shape and function.

Antibody Heavy and Light Chains

what are proteins?

Proteins, Amino Acids, and Polypeptides

Proteins are built from amino acids and form polypeptides. Amino acids are the small building blocks, and a polypeptide is a chain of amino acids joined together. This basic relationship explains how proteins are made and why their structure matters. Proteins have several important roles in living things. Some proteins help build body structures, while others carry out work inside cells. The transcript also connects proteins to enzymes, which are proteins that speed up chemical reactions.

protein organization

Protein Organization and Folding Levels

Protein organization describes how a protein is arranged at several levels. These levels help explain how a chain of amino acids becomes a working molecule. The main stages are primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure. Primary structure is the linear order of amino acids in the protein chain. Secondary structure is the first step of folding. In this stage, the chain can form patterns such as helices and sheets. Tertiary structure is the overall three-dimensional shape of one...

protein folding

Protein Folding and Structure

Protein folding is the process that gives a protein its final three-dimensional shape. That shape is essential because a protein’s structure helps determine how it works in the cell. A folded protein is stabilized by several interactions. These include hydrogen bonds, van der Waals interactions, and disulfide bridges. Each one helps hold the protein in the correct form. When a protein does not fold properly, its structure can change. That can affect its function and can interfere with normal...

conservation of protein domains over different proteins

conservation-of-protein-domains-over-different-proteins

Argonaute Protein Domains Across Species

Argonaute proteins have conserved domains that help small RNAs guide gene silencing. These proteins are found across organisms, but the number of Argonaute family members can differ from one species to another. Protein domains are small, structurally independent parts of a single amino acid chain. They can keep their shape on their own, but they may still work together with other parts of the protein. During evolution, domains can duplicate, recombine, and form new combinations. This process,...

globular and fibrous proteins

Protein Shapes: Globular vs Fibrous

Proteins can be grouped by shape into globular proteins and fibrous proteins. These two subtypes also differ in how they dissolve in water and in the jobs they do in cells and tissues. Globular proteins, also called spheroproteins, are usually round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid types and varied primary sequences. Their shapes support many functions, including enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often need the proteins to stay soluble in the...

intrinsically disordered proteins

Flexible Protein Regions and Binding

Intrinsically disordered proteins are proteins that do not fold into one fixed three-dimensional shape. Their flexible structure helps them work with ordered proteins to do jobs that rigid proteins cannot easily do. They are found more often in eukaryotes than in prokaryotes, and they can be fully disordered or made of both ordered and disordered regions. This lack of a rigid shape is linked to amino acid makeup. These proteins usually have many polar and charged amino acids and fewer...

protein complex assembly

How Proteins Self-Assemble in Cells

Proteins can self-assemble into working complexes inside cells. Some complexes are homomeric, which means they contain more than one copy of the same protein. Others are heteromeric, which means they are built from different protein types. Most protein complexes form through ordered self-assembly. In some cases, assembly factors help guide the proteins into the correct structure. Even in the crowded space inside a cell, proteins usually find the right partners and form functional complexes. <br...

conjugated proteins

Conjugated Proteins and Their Roles

Conjugated proteins are proteins that bond with a non-protein part. Unlike simple proteins, which contain only amino acids, these protein complexes include another chemical moiety attached covalently. That extra part can change how the protein works in the body. Nucleoproteins are conjugated proteins that contain nucleic acids. They are grouped as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). A nucleosome is a common DNP example, where nuclear DNA is associated with histone...

amyloid fibrils

Amyloid Fibrils in Brain Disease

Amyloid fibrils are clumps of misfolded proteins linked to brain disease and other disorders. In normal cells, misfolded proteins are usually refolded by chaperone proteins or broken down by the proteasome. But in some mutations or diseases, these proteins can build up into large clusters and then assemble into long fibers called fibrils. Amyloid deposits were seen as early as 1639 in the liver and spleen. In 1854, Rudolph Virchow used iodine staining, a method normally used to identify...

antibody structure

Antibodies are built from heavy and light chains that work together to form a Y-shaped molecule. These chains give the antibody its basic structure and help it bind to specific targets. The two upper arms of the Y contain the variable regions, which differ from one antibody to another. These variable regions help determine which antigen, or foreign molecule, the antibody can recognize. The lower part of the antibody is the constant region. This region is more similar across antibodies and...

protein families

Protein Families and Superfamilies

Protein families are groups of homologous proteins with similar amino acid sequences and three-dimensional shapes. They often appear after gene duplication, when an extra copy of a gene is added to an organism’s genome. Mutations can then change the amino acids, as long as the protein can still be made correctly. If the new proteins keep similar amino acids in key places, their domains and overall three-dimensional structure can stay similar too. Members of the same family can share as little...

Integrate evidence to develop a structural model of a DNA molecule. Using the model, develop and communicate an explanation for how DNA serves as a template for self-replication and encodes biological information.
EXPLANATION: Discussions of DNA in earlier grades have been limited to discussions of genes and the role of genes in the appearance and activities of an organism. Biology 1 represents a student's introduction to a molecular model of a DNA as well as the organization of DNA into genes and genes subsequently into chromosomes. Students should address interactions between genes in proteins which regulate both the shape and reproduction of DNA molecules. It is important to note that not all segments of DNA are transcribed for proteins. Portions of DNA are involved in regulating the expression of genes or affect the structure of the chromosomes (replication origin, centromeres, and telomeres).

Create a model for the major events of the eukaryotic cell cycle, including mitosis. Compare and contrast the rates of cell division in various eukaryotic cell types in multicellular organisms.
EXPLANATION: Students first discuss mitosis in seventh grade, specifically focusing on the role of mitosis in creating genetically identical daughter cells. Biology 1 discussions should connect a student's understanding of gene expression and protein function with the process of mitosis to explore the differentiation of cell types from otherwise identical daughter cells. Discussions should also include varying rates of mitotic division and the relationship between these rates of division and the function of specific cell types within eukaryotic organisms. Examples may include the extremely limited use of mitosis by neurons due to their interconnectedness within neural networks or the rapid rates of mitosis with growing root tips.
