X-RAY CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF C3D: A C3 FRAGMENT AND LIGAND FOR COMPLEMENT RECEPTOR 2
Contents |
Overview
Activation and covalent attachment of complement component C3 to pathogens, is the key step in complement-mediated host defense. Additionally, the, antigen-bound C3d fragment interacts with complement receptor 2 (CR2; also, known as CD21) on B cells and thereby contributes to the initiation of an, acquired humoral response. The x-ray crystal structure of human C3d solved, at 2.0 angstroms resolution reveals an alpha-alpha barrel with the, residues responsible for thioester formation and covalent attachment at, one end and an acidic pocket at the other. The structure supports a model, whereby the transition of native C3 to its functionally active state, involves the disruption of a complementary domain interface and provides, insight into the basis for the interaction between C3d and CR2.
Disease
Known diseases associated with this structure: C3 deficiency OMIM:[120700], Macular degeneration, age-related, 9 OMIM:[120700]
