Interaction of subcomponent C1q and collagen with isolated platelet membranes in platelet aggregation. 1983

G Csákó, and E A Suba, and S H Ohanian

Human platelet membranes were isolated by the glycerol-lysis technique. When tested by a turbidimetric method in the presence of fibrinogen and calcium ions, the membrane vesicles exhibited patterns of reactivity to collagen. As with human platelet-rich plasmas, the aggregating effects of collagen were inhibited by preincubating the membrane suspensions with hemolytically active human C1q. Upon addition to platelet-rich plasma, the isolated membranes reduced collagen-provoked platelet aggregation. This inhibitory effect was partially suspended by prior incubation of the membranes with native C1q. The results show that the receptors for collagen and C1q are preserved during the membrane isolation procedure and support the competitive nature of inhibition by C1q of collagen-induced platelet aggregation.

D003166 Complement Activating Enzymes Enzymes that activate one or more COMPLEMENT PROTEINS in the complement system leading to the formation of the COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX, an important response in host defense. They are enzymes in the various COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION pathways. Activating Enzymes, Complement,Enzymes, Complement Activating

D001667 Binding, Competitive The interaction of two or more substrates or ligands with the same binding site. The displacement of one by the other is used in quantitative and selective affinity measurements. Competitive Binding
D015922 Complement C1q A subcomponent of complement C1, composed of six copies of three polypeptide chains (A, B, and C), each encoded by a separate gene (C1QA; C1QB; C1QC). This complex is arranged in nine subunits (six disulfide-linked dimers of A and B, and three disulfide-linked homodimers of C). C1q has binding sites for antibodies (the heavy chain of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G or IMMUNOGLOBULIN M). The interaction of C1q and immunoglobulin activates the two proenzymes COMPLEMENT C1R and COMPLEMENT C1S, thus initiating the cascade of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION via the CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY.
