摘要: Complement component C5 is converted to C5a and C5b by the cobra venom factor-dependent C3/C5 convertase CVF,Bb (EC 3.4.21.47). The produces selective proteolytic cleavage of an arginyl-leucine peptide bond at positions 74-75 in alpha chain C5. Circular dichroism studies both far near UV regions provide evidence that a conformational change accompanies activation process. When activated presence complement C6, C5b,6 complex formed. However, when C6 added after has been C5b, fails form. Therefore, results transient binding site for C6. Hydrophobic sites are probably exposed upon because undergoes aggregation absence Transmission electron micrographs molecule indicate multilobal, irregular ultrastructure with estimated dimensions 104 X 140 168 A. Aggregated appearance globular particles diameter range 350-700 Although shares number features third complement, including similar partial sequence homology, devoid unusual thiol ester linkage found C3. It labile permits covalent attachment between C3 nucleophilic acceptors. In contrast, interactions or membranes remain noncovalent.
