Figure Lengend Snippet: Human TIM-3 IgV domain binding with 10 mM Ca ++ by NMR. ( a ) Plot of peak shifts showing 15 N-HSQC combined chemical shift changes index, expressed as [(ΔHcs/0.1 ppm) 2 + (ΔNcs/0.5 ppm) 2 ] 1/2 ,of hTIM-3 IgV upon binding with 10 mM Ca ++ . The data columns are colored according to degree of index changes (red > 1.0; green > 0.5; yellow > 0.25). The chemical shift change indices of Met118, Asn119 and Glu121 in F-G loop of hTIM-3 exceeded 2.0, even at well below the saturation concentration of Ca ++ binding. ( b ) Chemical shift changes of hTIM-3 backbone amides induced by 10 mM Ca ++ binding, mapped on to hTIM-3 crystal structure surface and colored by degree of index changes as in ( a ). The opposite BED and AGFCC′C″ faces are shown in the left and right panels, respectively, with the B-C, C-C′ and F-G loops marked in italics.
Article Snippet: For binding studies between human TIM-3 Fc fusion protein (BPS Bioscience) and tagless hCEACAM1 IgV domain, 50 μl of 250 nM tagless hCEACAM1 protein in Tris-buffered saline buffer containing 10 mM CaCl 2 (TBS-Ca ++ ) or TBS-Ca ++ buffer alone was added to wells of an ELISA plate and incubated overnight at 4 °C.
