Anti-streptococcal/anti-myosin mAb 36.2.2 is unique among the cross-reactive anti-streptococcal mAbs due to its cytotoxicity for rat heart cells and its ability to strongly label the surface of heart cells in indirect immunofluorescence assays. In this study, cytotoxic mAb 36.2.2 was found to react strongly with the extracellular matrix protein laminin in immunoblots and inhibition assays, while 11 other cross-reactive anti-streptococcal mAbs did not react with laminin and were not cytotoxic. Cytotoxicity appeared to correlate with the presence of laminin on the surface of cells. Heavy and light chain variable region genes encoding mAb 36.2.2 were highly homologous to other V genes encoding anti-carbohydrate and/or autoantibodies. VH, JH, and Jkappa segments of mAb 36.2.2 may be encoded by germline gene segments. The VH segment may be identical with an as yet unidentified VH7183 family germline sequence, and the 36.2.2 Vkappa region gene is encoded by a Vkappa8 family member.

D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.

D005803 Genes, Immunoglobulin Genes encoding the different subunits of the IMMUNOGLOBULINS, for example the IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN GENES and the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAIN GENES. The heavy and light immunoglobulin genes are present as gene segments in the germline cells. The completed genes are created when the segments are shuffled and assembled (B-LYMPHOCYTE GENE REARRANGEMENT) during B-LYMPHOCYTE maturation. The gene segments of the human light and heavy chain germline genes are symbolized V (variable), J (joining) and C (constant). The heavy chain germline genes have an additional segment D (diversity).
