Structural biology of C1: dissection of a complex molecular machinery
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Summary: The classical pathway of complement is initiated by the C1 complex, a multimolecular protease comprising a recognition subunit (C1q) and two modular serine proteases (C1r and C1s) associated as a Ca 2+ ‐dependent tetramer (C1s‐C1r‐C1r‐C1s). Early studies have allowed identification of specialized functional domains in these proteins and have led to low‐resolution models of the C1 complex. The objective...
