(C) Pie charts show heavy- (HC) and light-chain (LC) sequences cloned from purified single-cell sorted B cells from naive mice. The number in the center of the pie chart is the number of sequences analyzed, each colored slice represents one clone (identical V gene and CDRL3), and its size is proportional to the size of the clone. White indicates unique sequences.

Somatic Hypermutations after Immunization, Related to Figure 5
(A) Light chain somatic mutation analysis of VL10-94 sequences in eOD-GT8 60-mer- (top) and BG505 SOSIP- (bottom) immunized MuVH mice. Amino acid (aa) positions of the framework 1-3 (FWR1-3, gray background) and complementarity determining regions (white background) are indicated.
(B) Somatic mutation analysis of the germline (top) and mature (middle and bottom) sequences after immunization with eOD-GT8 60-mer (top and middle) or BG505 SOSIP (bottom).
(C) Structural model of the VL10-94∗01 light chain interacting with Env. VL10-94∗01 light chain interactions in the structural model of an antibody elicited from the MuVH mouse. A structural model of the complex between 3BNC60 mature heavy chain with an elicited VL10-94∗01 light chain and gp120 is shown (gp120 in green, light chain in magenta, CDRL1 in orange, CDRL3 in dark blue and the heavy chain is hidden for clarity). In the model, the mutation Q90H (shown in sticks) makes hydrogen bonds between the backbone of CDRL1 and an interfacial water molecule (shown as a red sphere). Y91 (shown in lines) packs against the Q90H mutation possibly rigidifying the light chain in a conformation capable of binding gp120. The NAG residue at N276 (shown in lines) is close enough (3.4Å) in this model to make contact to Q90H.
(D) Mutation hotspots in the germline 3BNC60 heavy chain (HC) compared to the mature 3BNC60 HC sequence. Mutation hotspots in the germline 3BNC60 HC sequence (left). Hotspots that are missing in the mature 3BNC60 HC sequence compared to the germline are crossed out in red (right).
