The unactivated form of the first component of human complement, C1.

The first component of complement, C1, was isolated unactivated from human serum by repeated additions of di-isopropyl phosphorofluoridate during isolation. The unactivated subcomponents were also isolated, and evidence is given that the three subcomponents C1q, C1r and C1s account wholly for the activity of component C1 in serum. No evidence could be found for a fourth subcomponent, C1t. The a...

The first component of complement. A quantitative comparison of its biosynthesis in culture by human epithelial and mesenchymal cells

Epithelial and mesenchymal cells synthesized and secreted all three subcomponents of the first component of complement (C1): C1q, C1r, and C1s. Quantitatively, however, columnar and transitional epithelial cells secreted 400--3,700 times more hemolytically active C1 than monocytes or fibroblasts. Only columnar epithelial cells synthesized C1 subcomponents with subunit structures similar to thei...

The mechanism of carbohydrate-mediated complement activation by the serum mannan-binding protein.

Serum mannan-binding protein (S-MBP), a lectin specific for mannose and N-acetylglucosamine, was documented to activate complement through the classical pathway. In this study, we examined the mechanism that initiates this activation. By a passive hemolysis test using sheep erythrocytes coated with yeast mannan, the activation of complement by human S-MBP was shown to proceed in the absence of ...

The cleavage of two C1s subunits by a single active C1r reveals substantial flexibility of the C1s-C1r-C1r-C1s tetramer in the C1 complex.

The activation of the C1s-C1r-C1r-C1s tetramer in the C1 complex, which involves the cleavage of an Arg-Ile bond in the catalytic domains of the subcomponents, is a two-step process. First, the autolytic activation of C1r takes place, then activated C1r cleaves zymogen C1s. The Arg463Gln mutant of C1r (C1rQI) is stabilized in the zymogen form. This mutant was used to form a C1q-(C1s-C1rQI-C1r-C...

Biosynthesis in vitro of complement subcomponents C1q, C1s and C1 inhibitor by resting and stimulated human monocytes.

The capacity of cultured human monocytes to synthesize and to secrete the subcomponents of C1 and C1 inhibitor was examined. Non-stimulated monocytes secreted C1q and C1s from day 5 of culture. C1s reached a plateau immediately at its maximum level, whereas C1q secretion increased progressively until the end of the second week. Between day 12 and day 25, C1q secretion remained nearly constant (...
