Proteolytic inactivation of C4b is a crucial step for regulation of the classical complement pathway. A plasma protease factor I and membrane cofactors, C3b/C4b receptor (CR1) and membrane cofactor protein (MCP), participate in the regulation of cell-bound C4b although the physiological potency of these cofactors remains unknown.

Human C3b bound to the ghost of sheep erythrocytes (E*) via activation of the alternative complement pathway (E*AC3b) consists of four major constituents on SDS-PAGE of 350, 260, 210 and 180 kDa. 350 kDa C3b is a dimeric form of C3b in which the alpha' chain of one C3b binds covalently to that of the other C3b.

Limited proteolysis of C3b by C3b inactivator (factor I) consists of a two-step reaction; rapid cleavage of C3b to yield a nicked C3b derivative, iC3b, and followed by slow cleavage of iC3b to yield two antigenically distinct fragments, C3c and C3d,g.

Abstract We have shown previously that C4 treated with amines or chaotropes, although uncleaved, exhibits properties that are similar to C4b. Studies by other groups suggest that this C4b-like form of C4 is characterized by the lack of an internal thiolester bond that is present in native C4. We report here that C4 treated

Factor H, purified from mouse EDTA-plasma using a 4-step procedure, consists of a single polypeptide chain of Mr 150,000 on SDS-PAGE. Mouse H (Hmo) was required for the cleavage of fluid-phase mouse C3b by mouse I (Imo). The final product of degradation of fluid-phase mouse C3b was iC3b, consisting of fragments of the alpha'-chain (alpha'-70, alpha'-43)

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 ...
