The present invention is directed to antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof, engineered to introduce amino acids for site-specific conjugation. The invention relates to engineered antibody constant region (Fc, Cγ, Cκ, and Cλ) polypeptides, and portions thereof, and antibodies comprising the polypeptides. Further, the invention relates to Fc fusion proteins comprising an engineered Fc region. The invention also relates to methods and uses of the engineered antibodies and portions for, among other things, production of antibody-drug conjugate therapeutics. 1. An engineered antibody constant domain polypeptide , or a portion thereof , wherein the engineered constant domain comprises at least one amino acid substitution to introduce a cysteine residue useful for conjugation , and wherein the constant domain polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of:(a) an engineered human IgG heavy chain constant domain (Cγ) polypeptide, or portion thereof, comprising at least one amino acid substitution selected from the group consisting of K246, D249, D265, 5267, D270, N276, Y278, E283, R292, E293, E294, Y300, V302, V303, L314, N315, E318, K320, I332, E333, K334, 1336, E345, Q347, 5354, R355, M358, K360, Q362, K370, Y373, D376, A378, E380, E382, Q386, E388, N390, K392, T393, D401, F404, T411, D413, K414, R416, Q418, Q419, N421, M428, A431, L432, T437, Q438, K439, L443, and S444, According to the EU Index of Kabat;(b) an engineered human lambda light chain constant domain (Cλ) polypeptide, or portion thereof, comprising at least one amino acid substitution selected from the group consisting of K110, A111, L125, K149C, V155, G158, T161, Q185, 5188, H189, 5191, T197, V205, E206, K207, T208 and A210, according to the numbering of Kabat;(c) an engineered human kappa light chain constant domain (Cκ) polypeptide, or portion thereof, comprising at least one amino acid substitution selected from the group consisting of A111, K183, and N210, according to the numbering of ...
