Complement Membrane Attack Complexes Disrupt Proteostasis to Function as Intracellular Alarmins
2024-06-19
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> Internalized pools of membrane attack complexes (MACs) promote NF-kB and dysregulated tissue inflammation. Here, we show that C9, a MAC-associated protein, promotes loss of proteostasis to become intrinsically immunogenic. Surface-bound C9 is internalized into Rab5 + endosomes whose intraluminal acidification promotes C9 aggregates. A region within the MACPF/CDC domain of C9 stimulate...
