We have constructed a set of chimeric Ig by exchanging corresponding H chain C domains between human (hu) IgG1 and murine (m) IgE. We used this set of Ig to dissect the interaction of individual Ig domains with human Fc gamma receptors. Only one of the chimeras, epsilon/C gamma 2,3 (an mIgE with C epsilon 3 and C epsilon 4 replaced by C gamma 2 and C gamma 3 from huIgG1), binds tightly to the human Fc gamma RI on U937 cells. We found that epsilon/C gamma 2,3 has only twofold lower affinity for Fc gamma RI as compared to huIgG1. The gamma/C epsilon 4 (huIgG1 with C epsilon 4 replacing C gamma 3) binds weakly to Fc gamma RI. The other chimeric Ig, epsilon/C gamma 3, epsilon/C gamma 2, and gamma/C epsilon 3, as well as mIgE do not bind detectably to Fc gamma RI. From these data we conclude that the C gamma 2 domain is crucial for binding and contains the majority of the binding site for Fc gamma RI on IgG1. The C gamma 3 domain makes a smaller contribution to the binding, and the C gamma 1 domain and the hinge region have very little effect on the Fc gamma RI-IgG1 interaction. The chimeric epsilon/C gamma 2,3 and huIgG1 both mediate the formation of rosettes between K562 cells and antigen-sensitized E with similar concentration dependences. These results suggest similar ability to bind to Fc gamma RII. The other chimeric Ig do not cause rosettes in this assay system. Hence, both C gamma 2 and C gamma 3 seem to be required for binding to Fc gamma RII, but the C gamma 1-hinge region has no detectable effect.
