Biosynthesis of pro-C3, a precursor of the third component of complement
نویسندگان
چکیده
A precusor of the third component of complement, pro-C3, was detected in studies of cell-free synthesis and intracellularly in homogenates of liver tissue cultures. The molecular weight of pro-C3 was indistinguishable from that of intact native C3 secreted in vitro by liver or peritoneal macrophages, but its structure was different. Pro-C3 is a single polypeptide chain, whereas C3 secreted by cells in culture consists of two polypeptide chains (mol wt 120,000 and 76,000) linked by disulfide bonds.

The human hepatoma-derived cell line, HepG2, synthesized and secreted functional complement proteins C1r, C1s, C2, C3, C4, C5, factor B, C1 inhibitor, C3b inactivator, a small amount of C6, and trace amounts of C8; but failed to produce detectable C1q, C7, or C9. Immunochemically, C2, C3, C4, C5, and B were isolated from culture medium as proteins with molecular sizes and subunit structures ide...

Recurrent aphtus stomatitis (RAS) is an oral mucous lesion in patients with no other signs of disease. Investigators have always notified the role of immune system especially humoral immunity in aphtus immunopathogenesis. The aim of this case-controlled study was to measure amount of serum immonogiobulins (A,G,M) and complement component (C3 C4) in patients with RAS and to evaluate any relation...

Introduction: In this study, we examined the role of immunological factors on sudden sensory neural hearing loss (SSNHL). Materials and Methods: This prospective case-controlled study was performed in patients with SSNHL who referred to the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) ward. Fifty-six patients with SSNHLoccurring within a 72-hr period were selected as the case group and 56 participants who ha...

Studies were undertaken to evaluate content of IgG, IgM, C3, C4, CH50 and proteines of sera from 53 drug addicts by immunological methods. Results shows an increase of IgG and no significant variatrion in the level of other Ig(S). In the same time we have seen an augmentation of gamma globuline in the protein electrophoresis pattern. The level of C3 and C4 of complement component rest unchanged.
متن کاملBiosynthesis of complement components by cultured rat hepatocytes.
Hepatocytes which had been isolated from the livers of Charles River rats were cultured in vitro. The cells were shown to synthesize albumin and the complement components C4, C2, C3 and B. Pulse-label studies with [35S]methionine showed that C4 and C3 were synthesized as single polypeptide chains. Pro-C4 did not appear to be converted into the plasma form of C4 intracellularly, whereas cell lys...
