Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare thrombotic microangiopathy. Genetic variants in complement proteins are found in ≈60% of patients. Of these patients, ≈15% carry mutations in complement factor I (CFI). Factor I (FI) is a multidomain serine protease that cleaves and thereby inactivates C3b and C4b in the presence of cofactor proteins. Crystal structures have shown that FI possesses 2...
