Diversity of Sites for Measles Virus Binding and for Inactivation of Complement C3b and C4b on Membrane Cofactor Protein CD46 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
The complement system membrane cofactor protein (MCP) CD46 serves as a C3b/C4b inactivating factor for the protection of host cells from autologous complement attack and as a receptor for measles virus (MV). MCP consists of four short consensus repeats (SCR) which are the predominant extracellular structural motif.

CLONING OF THE 1.4-kb mRNA SPECIES OF HUMAN COMPLEMENT FACTOR H REVEALS A NOVEL MEMBER OF THE SHORT CONSENSUS REPEAT FAMILY RELATED TO THE CARBOXY TERMINAL OF THE CLASSICAL 150-kDa MOLECULE [PDF]

, 1991
Three factor H mRNA species of 4.3 kb, 1.8 kb, and 1.4 kb are constitutively expressed in human liver. Having previously characterized full-length cDNA clones derived from the 4.3-kb and 1.8-kb factor mRNA, we report here the isolation and eucaryotic ...

Contribution of the infection-associated complement regulator-acquiring surface protein 4 (ErpC) to complement resistance of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

, 2012
Borrelia burgdorferi evades complement-mediated killing by interacting with complement regulators through distinct complement regulator-acquiring surface proteins (CRASPs).

Borrelia valaisiana resist complement-mediated killing independently of the recruitment of immune regulators and inactivation of complement components [PDF]

, 2013
Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato complex differ in their resistance to complement-mediated killing, particularly in regard to human serum.

Buoyancy regulation and aggregate formation in Amoebobacter purpureus from Mahoney lake [PDF]

, 1992
The meromictic Mahoney Lake (British Columbia, Canada) contains an extremely dense layer of purple sulfur bacteria (Amoebobacter purpureus). The buoyant density of Amoebobacter cells grown in pure culture at saturating light intensity was significantly ...

Soluble gC1qR is an autocrine signal that induces B1R expression on endothelial cells [PDF]

, 2013
Bradykinin (BK) is one of the most potent vasodilator agonists known and belongs to the kinin family of proinflammatory peptides. BK induces its activity via two G protein-coupled receptors: BK receptor 1 (B1R) and BK receptor 2.

Surface-associated heparin inhibits zymosan-induced activation of the human alternative complement pathway by augmenting the regulatory action of the control proteins on particle-bound C3b

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1979
Discrimination by the human alternative pathway between activating and nonactivating particles occurs after deposition of C3b by the continuous low-grade interaction of the alternative pathway components in biologic fluids and is dependent on the ...
