HUMAN COMPLEMENT FACTOR D IN A P21 CRYSTAL FORM
Overview
Factor D is a serine protease essential for the activation of the, alternative pathway of complement. The structures of native factor D and a, complex formed with isatoic anhydride inhibitor were determined at, resolution of 2.3 and 1.5 A, respectively, in an isomorphous monoclinic, crystal form containing one molecule per asymmetric unit. The native, structure was compared with structures determined previously in a, triclinic cell containing two molecules with different active site, conformations. The current structure shows greater similarity with, molecule B in the triclinic cell, suggesting that this may be the dominant, factor D conformation in solution. The major conformational differences, with molecule A in the triclinic cell are located in four regions, three, of which are close ... [(full description)]
