Human complement C3b inactivator: isolation, characterization, and demonstration of an absolute requirement for the serum protein beta1H for cleavage of C3b and C4b in solution. [PDF]
The complement regulatory enzyme, C3b inactivator (C3bINA), has been purified from human serum by affinity chromatography on an anti-C3bINA Sepharose column.

Radioiodinated β1H was demonstrated to bind to sheep EAC4b, EAC4,2,3b and EC3b, but not to E, EA, EAC4,2 or to C3bINA and β1H treated EC3b. This binding was dependent upon the C3b concentration on the surface of the cells and could be inhibited by ...

Development of Efficient Covalent Inactivators of a Fungal Aspartate Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ASADH) catalyzes the second step in the fungal pathway towards the synthesis of threonine, isoleucine, and methionine, and it has been identified as a viable target for antifungal drug development. Our previous work produced a group of vinyl sulfones that function as irreversible covalent inactivators of ...

Purification of the human complement control protein C3b inactivator [PDF]
An alternative method of isolation from human plasma is described for C3b inactivator, C3bINA, the proteinase that in conjunction with either beta 1H or C4b-binding protein will hydrolyse respectively C3b or C4b, the activation products of the third, C3 and fourth, C4, components of complement. The purification is by chromatography of plasma on columns

Glycation Inactivation of the Complement Regulatory Protein CD59 [PDF]
Micro- and macrovascular diseases are major causes of morbidity and mortality in the diabetic population, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms that link hyperglycemia to these complications remain incompletely understood. We proposed that in human diabetes, inhibition by glycation of the complement regulatory protein CD59 increases deposition of ...

Structural Complementation of a Monomeric Ribosomal-Inactivating Protein [PDF]
Exotoxin A (ETA) from the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ribosomal-inactivating protein (RIP) that acts by ADP-ribosylation of the post-translationally modified histidine, diphthamide, in elongation factor 2. Apoptotic cell death typically ensues upon intoxication.

Complement regulatory proteins are incorporated into lentiviral vectors and protect particles against complement inactivation [PDF]
Lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with G glycoprotein from vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G) and baculovirus gp64 are inactivated by human complement. The extent of vector inactivation in serum from individual donors was examined and results showed wide donor-dependent variation in complement sensitivity for VSV-G-pseudotyped lentivectors.
