Active form of human C1-inhibitor
Structural highlights
DiseaseIC1_HUMAN Defects in SERPING1 are the cause of hereditary angioedema (HAE) [MIM:106100; also called hereditary angioneurotic edema (HANE). HAE is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by episodic local subcutaneous edema and submucosal edema involving the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. HAE due to C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency is comprised of two clinically indistinguishable forms. In HAE type 1, representing 85% of patients, serum levels of C1 esterase inhibitor are less than 35% of normal. In HAE type 2, the levels are normal or elevated, but the protein is non-functional.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [:][7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] FunctionIC1_HUMAN Activation of the C1 complex is under control of the C1-inhibitor. It forms a proteolytically inactive stoichiometric complex with the C1r or C1s proteases. May play a potentially crucial role in regulating important physiological pathways including complement activation, blood coagulation, fibrinolysis and the generation of kinins. Very efficient inhibitor of FXIIa. Inhibits chymotrypsin and kallikrein.[16] Publication Abstract from PubMedC1-inhibitor is a key inhibitor of the complement and contact activation systems, and mutations in the protein can cause hereditary angioedema. Through an unknown mechanism, polysaccharides can increase C1-inhibitor activity against some of its target proteases. Here we present the crystal structures of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) domain of active C1-inhibitor by itself and in complex with dextran sulfate. Unlike previously described interactions of serpins with polysaccharides, the structures and isothermal titration calorimetry experiments together reveal that dextran sulfate binds to C1-inhibitor's F1 helix with low affinity and does not invoke an allosteric change. Furthermore, one dextran sulfate molecule can bind multiple C1-inhibitor molecules. We propose that in a C1-inhibitor/protease/polysaccharide ternary complex, negatively charged polysaccharides link C1-inhibitor's positively charged F1 helix to positively charged autolysis loops of proteases. The proposed mechanism elegantly explains previous experiments showing that polysaccharide potentiation is increased against proteases with a greater positive charge in their autolysis loop.
