The investigations were carried out in 30 persons subjected to the urography, in which influence of intravenous contrast media on coagulation and fibrinolysis system were studied (Part I). In venous blood collected before and in determined time intervals after injection of "Uropolinum" Polfa hemolytic activity of the complement system, concentration of its components (C3, C4) and total calcium level in blood were assayed. These parameters may contribute to the pathogenesis of side effects following injection of the contrast media. Disturbances in function of coagulation system were accompanied by a decrease in calcium level and activity of the complement. This phenomenon did not correlate with clinical symptoms. 相似文献

Reactivity of alpha 1-antitrypsin mutants against proteolytic enzymes of the kallikrein-kinin, complement, and fibrinolytic systems 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Increased extracellular proteolysis because of unregulated activation of blood coagulation, complement, and fibrinolysis is observed in thrombosis, shock, and inflammation. In the present study, we have examined whether the plasma kallikrein-kinin system, the classical pathway of complement, and the fibrinolytic system could be inhibited by alpha 1-antitrypsin reactive site mutants. Wild-type alpha 1-antitrypsin contains a Met residue at P1 (position 358), the central position of the reactive center. It did not inhibit plasma kallikrein, beta-factor XIIa, plasmin, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), or urokinase. In contrast, these serine proteases were inhibited by alpha 1-antitrypsin Arg358. For the inhibition of C1s, a double mutant having Arg358 and a Pro----Ala mutation at P2 (position 357) was required. This double modification was made because C1-inhibitor, the natural inhibitor of C1s, has Arg and Ala residues at positions P1 and P2. Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, the natural inhibitor of t-PA, also has Arg and Ala residues at positions P1 and P2. In a purified system, alpha 1-antitrypsin Ala357-Arg358 was 150-fold less efficient against C1s than C1-inhibitor and 27,000-fold less efficient against t-PA than plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. In plasma, 2.3 microM alpha 1-antitrypsin Ala357-Arg358 reduced by 65% the formation of a complex between kallikrein and C1-inhibitor following activation of the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation by kaolin. Furthermore, after supplementation by 2.0 microM alpha 1-antitrypsin Ala357-Arg358, zymographic analysis showed that the majority of the free t-PA of normal plasma formed a bimolecular complex with the double mutant. In contrast, 3.4 microM alpha 1-antitrypsin Ala357-Arg358 did not prevent the activation of the classical pathway of complement observed when normal serum is supplemented with anti-C1-inhibitor F(ab')2 fragment. These results demonstrate that alpha 1-antitrypsin Ala357-Arg358 has therapeutic potential for disorders with unregulated activation of the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation and the fibrinolytic system; however, the double mutant is not an efficient inhibitor for the classical pathway of complement. 相似文献

A novel C5a receptor-tissue factor cross-talk in neutrophils links innate immunity to coagulation pathways 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Ritis K Doumas M Mastellos D Micheli A Giaglis S Magotti P Rafail S Kartalis G Sideras P Lambris JD 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2006,177(7):4794-4802
Neutrophils and complement are key sentinels of innate immunity and mediators of acute inflammation. Recent studies have suggested that inflammatory processes modulate thrombogenic pathways. To date, the potential cross-talk between innate immunity and thrombosis and the precise molecular pathway by which complement and neutrophils trigger the coagulation process have remained elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that antiphospholipid Ab-induced complement activation and downstream signaling via C5a receptors in neutrophils leads to the induction of tissue factor (TF), a key initiating component of the blood coagulation cascade. TF expression by neutrophils was associated with an enhanced procoagulant activity, as verified by a modified prothrombin time assay inhibited by anti-TF mAb. Inhibition studies using the complement inhibitor compstatin revealed that complement activation is triggered by antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) IgG and leads to the induction of a TF-dependent coagulant activity. Blockade studies using a selective C5a receptor antagonist and stimulation of neutrophils with recombinant human C5a demonstrated that C5a, and its receptor C5aR, mediate the expression of TF in neutrophils and thereby significantly enhance the procoagulant activity of neutrophils exposed to APS serum. These results identify a novel cross-talk between the complement and coagulation cascades that can potentially be exploited therapeutically in the treatment of APS and other complement-associated thrombotic diseases. 相似文献

During feeding, a tick''s mouthpart penetrates the host''s skin and damages tissues and small blood vessels, triggering the extrinsic coagulation and lectin complement pathways. To elude these defense mechanisms, ticks secrete multiple anticoagulant proteins and complement system inhibitors in their saliva. Here, we characterized the inhibitory activities of the homologous tick salivary proteins tick salivary lectin pathway inhibitor, Salp14, and Salp9Pac from Ixodesscapularis in the coagulation cascade and the lectin complement pathway. All three proteins inhibited binding of mannan-binding lectin to the polysaccharide mannan, preventing the activation of the lectin complement pathway. In contrast, only Salp14 showed an appreciable effect on coagulation by prolonging the lag time of thrombin generation. We found that the anticoagulant properties of Salp14 are governed by its basic tail region, which resembles the C terminus of tissue factor pathway inhibitor alpha and blocks the assembly and/or activity of the prothrombinase complex in the same way. Moreover, the Salp14 protein tail contributes to the inhibition of the lectin complement pathway via interaction with mannan binding lectin–associated serine proteases. Furthermore, we identified BaSO4-adsorbing protein 1 isolated from the tick Ornithodoros savignyi as a distant homolog of tick salivary lectin pathway inhibitor/Salp14 proteins and showed that it inhibits the lectin complement pathway but not coagulation. The structure of BaSO4-adsorbing protein 1, solved here using NMR spectroscopy, indicated that this protein adopts a noncanonical epidermal growth factor domain–like structural fold, the first such report for tick salivary proteins. These data support a mechanism by which tick saliva proteins simultaneously inhibit both the host coagulation cascade and the lectin complement pathway. 相似文献

We examined the suitability of an immunoaffinity membrane (IAM) bearing specific antibody as a ligand for removing human serum amyloid P component (hSAP) from blood passed through a simple extracorporeal circulation system established in rats. The specific antibody was the most effective of the various ligands tested for removing hSAP from human blood. To determine the value of the hSAP in human or rat plasma, we also developed a simple ELISA. In the rat extracorporeal circulation system, the hSAP level in the inlet blood to the IAM module decreased to 49% of the initial concentration within 60 min. In contrast, the hSAP remained at the initial concentration throughout the study in the module without the IAM. The use of this extracorporeal circulation system in this case allows preclinical evaluation of the ex vivo removal of a human plasma component in an animal model. Biocompatibility of the IAM was also examined. No change in blood cell counts or activation of the coagulation system occurred after contact with the IAM. Non-specific adsorption was not observed, since there was no statistically significant difference in IgG, complement C3, or albumin level between the pre- and post-treatment with this module. The immunological effects of the IAM were also examined using this system. Four weeks after the termination of the extracorporeal circulation, the rats examined showed no detectable antibody titer to the ligand. 相似文献

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system in which binding of anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) autoantibodies (NMO-IgG) to astrocytes causes complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and inflammation resulting in oligodendrocyte and neuronal injury. There is compelling evidence for a central role of complement in NMO pathogenesis. Here, we evaluated the potential of C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-inh) for complement-targeted therapy of NMO. C1-inh is an anti-inflammatory plasma protein with serine protease inhibition activity that has a broad range of biological activities on the contact (kallikrein), coagulation, fibrinolytic and complement systems. C1-inh is approved for therapy of hereditary angioedema (HAE) and has been studied in a small safety trial in acute NMO relapses (). In vitro assays of NMO-IgG-dependent CDC showed C1-inh inhibition of human and rat complement, but with predicted minimal complement inhibition activity at a dose of 2000 units in humans. Inhibition of complement by C1-inh was potentiated by ∼10-fold by polysulfated macromolecules including heparin and dextran sulfate. In rats, intravenous C1-inh at a dose 30-fold greater than that approved to treat HAE inhibited serum complement activity by <5%, even when supplemented with heparin. Also, high-dose C1-inh did not reduce pathology in a rat model of NMO produced by intracerebral injection of NMO-IgG. Therefore, although C1r and C1s are targets of C1-inh, our in vitro data with human serum and in vivo data in rats suggest that the complement inhibition activity of C1-inh in serum is too low to confer clinical benefit in NMO.

Influence of divalent cations upon complement-mediated enzyme release from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
I M Goldstein S T Hoffstein G Weissmann 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1975,115(3):665-670
The complement component, C5a provokes the selective release of granule-associated enzymes from the intact, viable cytochalasin B-treated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in the absence of phagocytosis or cellular adherence to surfaces. Consquently, in this experimental system the influence of divalent cations on these two processes can be disregarded and their effects on enzymes secretion can be studied directly. Cytochalasin B-treated PMN exposed to C5a in calcium and magnesium-free media consistently secreted significant amounts of the granule-associated enzymes, beta-glucuronidase and lysozyme. The basal secretory response was not diminished if cells were preincubated with 5.0 mM EDTA, nor was it influenced if 1.0 mm or 2.0 mM EDTA were present in the reaction mixtures. The addition of calcium (up to 1.5 to 2.0 mM) produced a concentration-dependent enhancement of beta-glucuronidase release, whereas increasing amounts of calcium (above 2.0 mM) inhibited secretion of this enzyme. Lysozyme release was similarly enhanced by the addition of calcium, but inhibition with high concentrations was not observed. Calcium per se, in the absence of C5a, provoked only the release of lysozyme from these cells. The effects of calcium upon enzyme release were not associated with alterations in the state of assembly of cytoplasmic microtubules. These findings provide another example of the role of calcium in "stimulus-secretion coupling" and provide evidence that exocytosis of various granules in human PMN is regulated by independent mechanisms involving calcium. 相似文献

In addition to their well-recognized role in immune defense, there is a growing recognition that the proteins of the complement system impact directly on vascular homeostatic mechanisms, evoking cellular responses that serve to both promote adherence of blood cells to the walls of blood vessels, and the formation of fibrin through the enzyme mechanisms of the coagulation system. This clot-promoting or ‘procoagulant’ activity initiated through the complement system entails both receptor-mediated as well as receptor-independent pathways of cell activation. In this review, I will focus specifically upon the role that is now thought to be played by the membrane attack complex of the complement system (MAC) in the induction of the procoagulant properties of human platelets and endothelium. 相似文献

In this study, we report the finding of functional cross-talk between two non-protease components of the complement and coagulation cascades. We show that complement C3, a central component of the complement system, is associated with the fibrin clot and that C3 becomes covalently cross-linked to other proteins during coagulation. Enzymatic incorporation of dansylcadaverine and dansyl-PGGQQIV into C3 by coagulation factor XIIIa and tissue transglutaminase demonstrated that C3 is a transglutaminase substrate. This suggested that coagulation factor XIIIa covalently cross-links C3 to clot components during coagulation. Using mass spectrometry, we verified that C3 indeed is covalently associated with the fibrin clot in a ratio of 0.05:1 relative to the known coagulation factor XIIIa substrate α2-antiplasmin. 相似文献

Pathogenic Naegleria fowleri amebae are resistant to the lytic effects of serum complement. The presence of surface glycoproteins or removal of the membrane attack complex (MAC) of complement from the cell surface by vesiculation serve to protect the amebae from complement lysis. The specific mediators important in stimulating complement resistance are not defined. These studies were undertaken to examine the effect of Ca(2+) ions in initiating complement resistance of N. fowleri in contrast to non-pathogenic complement-sensitive N. gruberi. Chelation of extracellular calcium with ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) or chelation of intracellular calcium with 1,2-bis-(O-Aminophenoxy) ethane-N,N,N,N tetraacetic acid tetra (acetoxymethyl) ester (BAPTA-AM) increased complement lysis of N. fowleri. Chelation of calcium ions did not affect complement sensitivity of N. gruberi. Increased lysis of ionomycin-treated N. fowleri was detected after exposure to serum complement, suggesting that a threshold level of Ca(2+) mediates complement resistance before survival mechanisms are overwhelmed and lysis occurs. A differential influx of Ca(2+) ions occurred in fura-2 labeled N. fowleri after deposition of complement component C9 to form the MAC complex on the cell surface in comparison to N. gruberi. These studies suggest that Ca(2+) ions influence complement resistance in N. fowleri but do not play a role in altering the sensitivity of N. gruberi to complement. 相似文献

The purpose of the work was to demonstrate the effect of radiographic contrast media (RCM) 50% bilignost, 76% triombrast, 80% iodamide-380 on the complement system in rats. It has been found that RCM cause alternative complement activation during incubation with the whole blood or serum in vivo and in vitro. The RCM effect value depends on the drug dose and increase in the order: triombrast iodamide bilignost. Different sensitivity of animals to the effect of RCM on the complement system has been shown. 相似文献

The blood coagulation system as a molecular machine 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Spronk HM Govers-Riemslag JW ten Cate H 《BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology》2003,25(12):1220-1228
The human blood coagulation system comprises a series of linked glycoproteins that upon activation induce the generation of downstream enzymes ultimately forming fibrin. This process is primarily important to arrest bleeding (hemostasis). Hemostasis is a typical example of a molecular machine, where the assembly of substrates, enzymes, protein cofactors and calcium ions on a phospholipid surface markedly accelerates the rate of coagulation. Excess, pathological, coagulation activity occurs in "thrombosis", the formation of an intravascular clot, which in the most dramatic form precipitates in the microvasculature as disseminated intravascular coagulation. Thrombosis occurs according to a biochemical machine model in the case of atherothrombosis on a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque, but may develop at a slower rate in venous thrombosis, illustrating that the coagulation machinery can act at different velocities. The separate coagulation enzymes are also important in other biological processes, including inflammation for which the rapid conversion of one coagulation factor by the other is not a prerequisite. The latter role of coagulation enzymes may be related to the old and probably maintained function of the coagulation machine in innate immunity. 相似文献

Background
The complement system, a key component that links the innate and adaptive immune responses, has three pathways: the classical, lectin, and alternative pathways. In the present study, we have analyzed the levels of various complement components in blood samples from dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) patients and found that the level of complement activation is associated with disease severity.Methods and Results
Patients with DHF had lower levels of complement factor 3 (C3; p = 0.002) and increased levels of C3a, C4a and C5a (p<0.0001) when compared to those with the less severe form, DF. There were no significant differences between DF and DHF patients in the levels of C1q, immunocomplexes (CIC-CIq) and CRP. However, small but statistically significant differences were detected in the levels of MBL. In contrast, the levels of two regulatory proteins of the alternative pathway varied widely between DF and DHF patients: DHF patients had higher levels of factor D (p = 0.01), which cleaves factor B to yield the active (C3bBb) C3 convertase, and lower levels of factor H (p = 0.03), which inactivates the (C3bBb) C3 convertase, than did DF patients. When we considered the levels of factors D and H together as an indicator of (C3bBb) C3 convertase regulation, we found that the plasma levels of these regulatory proteins in DHF patients favored the formation of the (C3bBb) C3 convertase, whereas its formation was inhibited in DF patients (p<0.0001).Conclusion
The data suggest that an imbalance in the levels of regulatory factors D and H is associated with an abnormal regulation of complement activity in DHF patients. 相似文献14.

A recently developed variant of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) called QCM-with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) allows simultaneous and simple measurements of changes in adsorbed mass as well as the viscoelastic property (D-factor) of deposited protein layers on the sensor surface. We have taken the QCM-D technology a step further and demonstrated its advantages in the study of protein assembly as a consequence of surface induced immune complement activation, or contact activated blood coagulation. In the present study we have continued our QCM-D investigations of surface assembly of fibrin clot formation and complement activation and incubated differently modified quartz sensor surfaces in blood plasma and sera. Polymer surfaces used were spin-coated polyethylene, poly(ethylene terephtalate), poly(methylmetacrylate) and poly(dimethylsiloxane). Also used were sputtered titanium and heparin grafted surfaces. In this investigation we found that we could describe the surface induced coagulation with four independent parameters: (1) Time of onset of coagulation, (2) fibrin deposition rate, (3) total frequency shift at stable plateau, and (4) fibrin clot density. The most important finding was that the blood plasma clot density can be assessed with the use of D determinations and that the clot density varied significantly with the chemical composition of the surface. However, the D-factor did not give any new analytical information about the possible complement activation mechanisms. Nevertheless, the QCM-D was found to be a reliable tool for the analysis of surface induced complement activation. We also compared the QCM-D technique with traditional enzyme immuno assay (EIA) measurements of soluble products from the surface activation of the complement and coagulation systems. We found that the results from EIA and QCM-D measurements corresponded well for the complement activation but not for the coagulation, probably due to the biological complexity of the coagulation system. 相似文献

Domains homologous to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) are important building blocks for extracellular proteins. Proteins containing these domains have been shown to function in such diverse biological processes as blood coagulation, complement activation, and the developmental determination of embryonic cell fates. Many of these proteins require calcium for their biological function. In the case of coagulation factors IX and X and anticoagulants proteins C and S, calcium has been found to bind to the EGF-like domains. We have now determined the three-dimensional structure of the calcium-bound form of the NH2-terminal EGF-like domain in coagulation factor X by two-dimensional NMR and simulated folding. Ligands to the calcium ion are the two backbone carbonyls in Gly-47 and Gly-64, as well as the side chains in Gln-49, erythro-beta-hydroxyaspartic acid (Hya) 63, and possibly Asp-46. The conserved Asp-48 is not a ligand in our present structures. The remaining ligands are assumed to be solvent molecules or, in the intact protein, ligands from neighboring domains. Other proteins interacting in a calcium-dependent manner may also contribute ligands. A comparison with the calcium-free form shows that calcium binding induces strictly local structural changes in the domain. Residues corresponding to the side chain ligands in factor X are conserved in many other proteins, such as the integral membrane protein TAN-1 of human lymphocytes and its developmentally important homolog, Notch, in Drosophila. Calcium binding to EGF-like domains may be crucial for numerous protein-protein interactions involving EGF-like domains in coagulation factors, plasma proteins, and membrane proteins. Therefore, there is reason to believe that this novel calcium site plays an important role in the biochemistry of extracellular proteins. 相似文献

THE study of immunological reactions in rabbits genetically deficient in the sixth component of complement (C6) can provide information about the biological role of the complement system. Since their discovery1, these rabbits have been found to produce no C6 protein and they can form antibody against it (ref. 2 and review in ref. 3). Furthermore, although the plasma and serum of these rabbits contain the normal coagulation factors, the whole blood clotting time is longer than normal4. 相似文献

Superoxide responses of immune complex-stimulated rat alveolar macrophages. Intracellular calcium and priming 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

ATP is known to induce calcium transients in rat and human neutrophils and to "prime" these cells for enhanced oxygen radical responses after stimulation with chemotactic peptide, FMLP, or immune complexes. Calcium ionophores are also well known for their ability to prime phagocytic cells. In the current studies, nonelicited rat alveolar macrophages were analyzed for the ability of ATP as well as FMLP, C5a, platelet-activating factor and calcium ionophore (A23187) to modify levels of intracellular calcium and to enhance superoxide anion (O2-) production in response to immune complexes. Although none of these agents induced a O2- response under the conditions employed, all, except FMLP and C5a (human, recombinant) increased intracellular calcium, although the temporal features of the increases varied with the agent. In contrast to the inability of FMLP and C5a to cause intracellular calcium increases in macrophages, these same peptides caused dose-dependent intracellular calcium increases in rat neutrophils, whether the cells were derived from the blood or from the peritoneal cavity. On the basis of the effects of EGTA, the calcium increases in alveolar macrophages were caused by intracellular release of calcium in addition to some influx of extracellular calcium. Although ATP caused a dose-related increase in the level of intracellular calcium in alveolar macrophages, the cells were not "primed" for enhanced O2- responses to immune complexes. In contrast, platelet-activating factor and A23187, each of which induced increased intracellular levels of calcium, were able to prime macrophages for enhanced O2- responses. C5a and FMLP neither increased intracellular calcium levels nor primed macrophages for enhanced O2- responses to immune complexes. It is not clear if the inability of ATP to prime alveolar macrophages is caused entirely by insufficient increases in intracellular calcium or if ATP is unable to bring about additional changes that are relevant to the priming phenomenon. 相似文献

Blood coagulation or plasma clotting caused generation of a monocyte chemotactic factor(s) in vitro. The chemotactic factor, of which the apparent molecular mass was 75 kDa, shared antigenicity with complement C5 and possessed the affinity to monocytes, but not to polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The generation of the chemotactic factor was hindered in the presence of a thiol enzyme inhibitor, p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid, at the concentration of 1 mmol/l, although the gelation of plasma was apparently completed. Furthermore, the generation of chemotactic factor was not observed when a plasma deficient in blood coagulation factor XIII, which is a precursor of a thiol enzyme, plasma transglutaminase, was used; and the activity normally appeared when the deficient plasma was reconstituted with purified factor XIII or with a tissue transglutaminase prior to clotting. When the human sera were injected into guinea pig skin, the serum derived from normal plasma or from the reconstituted factor XIII deficient one caused mononuclear cell infiltration, however, the serum from the deficient plasma without reconstitution infiltrated to a significantly smaller extent. These results indicated that the complement system was initiated somehow during the clotting process resulting in the generation of the C5-derived monocyte chemotactic factor in cooperation with factor XIIIa (activated factor XIII). 相似文献

Mesenchymal stromal cells engage complement and complement receptor bearing innate effector cells to modulate immune responses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Infusion of human third-party mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) appears to be a promising therapy for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD). To date, little is known about how MSCs interact with the body's innate immune system after clinical infusion. This study shows, that exposure of MSCs to blood type ABO-matched human blood activates the complement system, which triggers complement-mediated lymphoid and myeloid effector cell activation in blood. We found deposition of complement component C3-derived fragments iC3b and C3dg on MSCs and fluid-phase generation of the chemotactic anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a. MSCs bound low amounts of immunoglobulins and lacked expression of complement regulatory proteins MCP (CD46) and DAF (CD55), but were protected from complement lysis via expression of protectin (CD59). Cell-surface-opsonization and anaphylatoxin-formation triggered complement receptor 3 (CD11b/CD18)-mediated effector cell activation in blood. The complement-activating properties of individual MSCs were furthermore correlated with their potency to inhibit PBMC-proliferation in vitro, and both effector cell activation and the immunosuppressive effect could be blocked either by using complement inhibitor Compstatin or by depletion of CD14/CD11b-high myeloid effector cells from mixed lymphocyte reactions. Our study demonstrates for the first time a major role of the complement system in governing the immunomodulatory activity of MSCs and elucidates how complement activation mediates the interaction with other immune cells. 相似文献

Assembly of protein S and C4b-binding protein on membranes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The interaction of protein S with membranes and subsequent combination with complement C4b-binding protein (C4BP) was studied. Protein S interacted with phospholipid vesicles in a calcium-dependent manner typical of other vitamin K-dependent proteins. Association of C4BP with protein S showed no apparent selectivity for membrane-bound or solution phase protein S. When bound to the membrane, the protein complexes projected out from the vesicle surface and induced vesicle radius changes of 11.4 nm for tightly packed protein S alone and 17.5 nm for the protein S-C4BP complex. Due to a low density of the protein S-C4BP on the membrane at saturation, the actual projection of this complex out from the membrane surface would be much greater than 17.5 nm. A low saturation density suggested that the protein complex had a large two-dimensional hydrodynamic radius in the plane of the membrane that prevented tight packing of protein. In the presence of calcium, the protein-protein interaction was rapid (ka greater than or equal to 1.10(6) M-1 s-1) and had very high affinity (KD less than or equal to 10(-10) M). The dissociation rate was slow with an estimated rate constant of less than or equal to 2.10(-4) s-1 at 25 degrees C. Protein-protein interaction was much slower in the absence of calcium with an estimated association rate constant of only 2.10(4) M-1 s-1. Consequently, the protein-protein interaction was greatly enhanced by calcium. The very high affinity interaction between protein S and C4BP suggested specificity and an important function for the protein S-C4BP complex in blood. In this regard it was important that C4BP which was bound to protein S on the phospholipid surface could interact with complement protein C4b. These results suggested that protein S may serve an important role in localizing C4BP to negatively charged phospholipid. This would provide regulation of complement activation at sites where the coagulation system is activated such as on the surface of activated platelets. 相似文献
