Complementary recognition of alternative pathway activators by decay-accelerating factor and factor H.
The alternative complement pathway (ACP) functions as a surveillance mechanism by which microorganisms are opsonized with C3b in the absence of specific antibodies. The effectiveness of the ACP relies on its ability to distinguish self from non-self. This recognition function is mediated by C3 regulatory proteins including serum factor H, membrane cofactor protein (MCP), and membrane decay-acce...
متن کاملDecay-accelerating factor must bind both components of the complement alternative pathway C3 convertase to mediate efficient decay.
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF; CD55) inhibits the complement (C) cascade by dissociating the multimolecular C3 convertase enzymes central to amplification. We have previously demonstrated using surface plasmon resonance (Biacore International) that DAF mediates decay of the alternative pathway C3 convertase, C3bBb, but not of the inactive proenzyme, C3bB, and have shown that the major site of ...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of murine decay accelerating factor by immunoscreening.
Although the cDNA of human decay accelerating factor (DAF) which restricts complement activation on homologous cell membranes was cloned in 1987, all trials to detect the cDNA of mouse DAF by cross-hybridization were unsuccessful. However, by immunoscreening with a rabbit antiserum against purified mouse DAF, we successfully cloned the cDNA. It contains four typical short consensus repeats (SCR...
متن کاملDecay - Accelerating Factor - Release from Cell Membrane
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF) ~ is a membrane protein that inhibits amplification of the complement cascade on cell surfaces. By binding to C3b or C4b complement fragments that accidentally deposit on the cell membrane, DAF blocks the assembly of both the classical and alternative C3 and C5 convertases (1-3). In this manner, DAF protects host cells from damage by autologous complement. DAF is...
