Location of the inter-chain disulfide bonds of the third component of human complement. 1985

T Matsuda, and T Seya, and S Nagasawa

Location of the disulfide bonds connecting three polypeptide chains (alpha 3, 27kd; 2, 43kd; beta, 75kd) of C3c has been investigated by partial reduction with cysteine followed by alkylation with 14C-monoiodoacetic acid. Treatment of C3c with cysteine produced a partially reduced fragment, composed of disulfide-linked beta and alpha 3 chains. A single thiol residue was detected on the alpha 3 chain but not on the beta chain of the fragment, suggesting that the alpha 2 chain in C3c is linked through a single disulfide bond to the alpha 3 chain but not to the beta chain.

D011487 Protein Conformation The characteristic 3-dimensional shape of a protein, including the secondary, supersecondary (motifs), tertiary (domains) and quaternary structure of the peptide chain. PROTEIN STRUCTURE, QUATERNARY describes the conformation assumed by multimeric proteins (aggregates of more than one polypeptide chain).

D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.
