Mutants of a catalytically inactive variant of Proteinase 3 (PR3)-iPR3-Val(103) possessing a Ser195Ala mutation relative to wild-type PR3-Val(103)-offer insights into how autoantigen PR3 interacts with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and whether such interactions can be interrupted. Here we report that iHm5-Val(103), a triple mutant of iPR3-Val(103), bound a monoclonal antibody (moANCA518) from a GPA patient on an epitope remote from the mutation sites, whereas the corresponding epitope of iPR3-Val(103) was latent to moANCA518. Simulated B-factor analysis revealed that the binding of moANCA518 to iHm5-Val(103) was due to increased main-chain flexibility of the latent epitope caused by remote mutations, suggesting rigidification of epitopes with therapeutics to alter pathogenic PR3 center dot ANCA interactions as new GPA treatments.
