Variation and homology in the mu and gamma heavy chains of human immunoglobulins.

Sequence analysis of an 1gM immunoglobulin shows that the variable regions of hunman micro and gamma1 heavy chainis may have twice as much homology as their constant regions and that evolutionary divergence of micro and gamma1 heavy chain genes occurred not long after the separation of heavy and light chain genes.

Structure of the hinge region of the mu heavy chain of human IgM immunoglobulins.

The amino acid sequence around the central disulfide bridge linking the mu heavy chains of the human immunoglobulin M monomer is unlike that in immunoglobulin G. This hinge area contains one of the five oligosaccharides of the mu chain, is low in proline, and is the site of tryptic cleavage to yield Fabmicro and Fcmicro fragments.
