Background: Complement Component C1ra

The classical complement pathway plays a major role in innate immunity against infection. This pathway is triggered by C1, a multimolecular complex composed of the recognition protein C1q and two serine proteases, C1r and C1s. Following the C1q recognition, C1r is autoactivated, and in turn activates C1s, which cleaves C4 and C2, the C1 substrates (1). Both C1r and C1s activation involve cleavage of a specific Arg-Ile bond, converting the single-chain proenzymes into active proteases composed of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains (2). The heavy chain contains multiple domains in the order of CUB1-EGF-CUB2-CCP1-CCP2-Activation Peptide. The light chain contains the serine protease catalytic domain. The mouse C1r gene is duplicated as C1rA and C1rB. The C1rA gene is primarily expressed in liver and is therefore the homologue of human C1r gene (3). The full-length mouse C1r-A was expressed and purified from conditioned medium. The purified recombinant mC1rA protein corresponds to the processed active form, with the A and B chains beginning at residues Ser 17 and Ile 463, respectively.
