[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CO3_HUMAN CO3_HUMAN] Defects in C3 are the cause of complement component 3 deficiency (C3D) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/613779 613779]. A rare defect of the complement classical pathway. Patients develop recurrent, severe, pyogenic infections because of ineffective opsonization of pathogens. Some patients may also develop autoimmune disorders, such as arthralgia and vasculitic rashes, lupus-like syndrome and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.<ref>PMID:19913840</ref> <ref>PMID:9596584</ref> <ref>PMID:11387479</ref> <ref>PMID:15713468</ref> <ref>PMID:7961791</ref> [:]  Genetic variation in C3 is associated with susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration type 9 (ARMD9) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/611378 611378]. ARMD is a multifactorial eye disease and the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the developed world. In most patients, the disease is manifest as ophthalmoscopically visible yellowish accumulations of protein and lipid that lie beneath the retinal pigment epithelium and within an elastin-containing structure known as Bruch membrane.<ref>PMID:19913840</ref> <ref>PMID:17634448</ref>   Defects in C3 are a cause of susceptibility to hemolytic uremic syndrome atypical type 5 (AHUS5) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/612925 612925]. An atypical form of hemolytic uremic syndrome. It is a complex genetic disease characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, renal failure and absence of episodes of enterocolitis and diarrhea. In contrast to typical hemolytic uremic syndrome, atypical forms have a poorer prognosis, with higher death rates and frequent progression to end-stage renal disease. Note=Susceptibility to the development of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome can be conferred by mutations in various components of or regulatory factors in the complement cascade system. Other genes may play a role in modifying the phenotype.<ref>PMID:19913840</ref> <ref>PMID:18796626</ref> <ref>PMID:20513133</ref>   Note=Increased levels of C3 and its cleavage product ASP, are associated with obesity, diabetes and coronary heart disease. Short-term endurance training reduces baseline ASP levels and subsequently fat storage.<ref>PMID:19913840</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CO3_HUMAN CO3_HUMAN] C3 plays a central role in the activation of the complement system. Its processing by C3 convertase is the central reaction in both classical and alternative complement pathways. After activation C3b can bind covalently, via its reactive thioester, to cell surface carbohydrates or immune aggregates.<ref>PMID:8376604</ref> <ref>PMID:2909530</ref> <ref>PMID:9059512</ref> <ref>PMID:9555951</ref> <ref>PMID:10432298</ref> <ref>PMID:15833747</ref> <ref>PMID:16333141</ref> <ref>PMID:19615750</ref>   Derived from proteolytic degradation of complement C3, C3a anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process. It induces the contraction of smooth muscle, increases vascular permeability and causes histamine release from mast cells and basophilic leukocytes.<ref>PMID:8376604</ref> <ref>PMID:2909530</ref> <ref>PMID:9059512</ref> <ref>PMID:9555951</ref> <ref>PMID:10432298</ref> <ref>PMID:15833747</ref> <ref>PMID:16333141</ref> <ref>PMID:19615750</ref>   Acylation stimulating protein (ASP): adipogenic hormone that stimulates triglyceride (TG) synthesis and glucose transport in adipocytes, regulating fat storage and playing a role in postprandial TG clearance. Appears to stimulate TG synthesis via activation of the PLC, MAPK and AKT signaling pathways. Ligand for GPR77. Promotes the phosphorylation, ARRB2-mediated internalization and recycling of GPR77.<ref>PMID:8376604</ref> <ref>PMID:2909530</ref> <ref>PMID:9059512</ref> <ref>PMID:9555951</ref> <ref>PMID:10432298</ref> <ref>PMID:15833747</ref> <ref>PMID:16333141</ref> <ref>PMID:19615750</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Complement is an important part of innate immunity. The alternative pathway of complement is activated when the main opsonin, C3b coats non-protected surfaces leading to opsonisation, phagocytosis and cell lysis. The alternative pathway is tightly controlled to prevent autoactivation towards host cells. The main regulator of the alternative pathway is factor H (FH), a soluble glycoprotein that terminates complement activation in multiple ways. FH recognizes host cell surfaces via domains 19-20 (FH19-20). All microbes including Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, must evade complement activation to allow the infectious agent to survive in its host. One major mechanism that Borrelia uses is to recruit FH from host. Several outer surface proteins (Osp) have been described to bind FH via the C-terminus, and OspE is one of them. Here we report the structure of the tripartite complex formed by OspE, FH19-20 and C3dg at 3.18 A, showing that OspE and C3dg can bind simultaneously to FH19-20. This verifies that FH19-20 interacts via the "common microbial binding site" on domain 20 with OspE and simultaneously and independently via domain 19 with C3dg. The spatial organization of the tripartite complex explains how OspE on the bacterial surface binds FH19-20, leaving FH fully available to protect the bacteria against complement. Additionally, formation of tripartite complex between FH, microbial protein and C3dg might enable enhanced protection, particularly on those regions on the bacteria where previous complement activation led to deposition of C3d. This might be especially important for slow-growing bacteria that cause chronic disease like Borrelia burgdorferi.
