Previous work has shown that IgG rheumatoid factors (RF) bind to the C gamma 2-C gamma 3 interface region of human IgG in the same area that binds staphylococcal protein A (SPA). Group A, C, and G strains of Streptococci possess Fc receptors that bind to IgG but not to fragments containing only the C gamma 2 or C gamma 3 domains. This work describes the binding site location on human IgG for the binding of the isolated Fc receptor from the T15 strain of a Group A streptococcus and its relationship to the site that binds SPA and the IgG RF. The isolated T15 Fc receptor (T15) with a molecular mass of 29.5 kD inhibited the binding of IgG RF to IgG. The binding of T15 itself to IgG was strongly inhibited by SPA (42.0 kD) and its monovalent fragment D (7 kD). Human IgG fragments consisting of the C gamma 3 domains did not inhibit the binding of T15 to IgG, whereas those with both domains were effective inhibitors. T15 did not bind to rabbit IgG fragments consisting of either the C gamma 2 or C gamma 3 domains, but did bind to those with both domains. An IgG3 myeloma protein was a poor inhibitor and has been shown to bind poorly to the IgG RF. Most IgG3 myeloma proteins did not bind to SPA. The substitution of Arg and Phe for His 435 and Tyr 436 is responsible for the poor binding of IgG3 to SPA and to the IgG RF. Chemical modification of His or Tyr on IgG reduced its ability to inhibit the binding of T15 to IgG. Reversal of the chemical modifications with hydroxylamine resulted in near complete restoration of inhibitory capacity. This information, collectively, coupled with the known positions in space of the His and Tyr residues in the C gamma 2-C gamma 3 interface region, verified that both His 435 and Tyr 436, and possibly His 310 and 433, are involved. These residues are also involved in binding SPA and the IgG RF. These data therefore indicate that the T15 Group A Streptococcal Fc receptor binds to the same location on the Fc of IgG as SPA and the IgG RF. The biologic relevance of these similarities between bacterial cell wall Fc receptors and IgG RF are not yet apparent, but suggest that RF could bear the internal image of these bacterial structures.
