NonStd Res: DAR Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, RCSB, PDBsum Disease [CO5_HUMAN] Defects in C5 are the cause of complement component 5 deficiency (C5D) [MIM:609536]. A rare defect of the complement classical pathway associated with susceptibility to severe recurrent infections, predominantly by Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Neisseria meningitidis. Note=An association study of C5 haplotypes and genotypes in individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus infection shows that individuals homozygous for the C5_1 haplotype have a significantly higher stage of liver fibrosis than individuals carrying at least 1 other allele (PubMed:15995705). Function [CO5_HUMAN] Activation of C5 by a C5 convertase initiates the spontaneous assembly of the late complement components, C5-C9, into the membrane attack complex. C5b has a transient binding site for C6. The C5b-C6 complex is the foundation upon which the lytic complex is assembled. Derived from proteolytic degradation of complement C5, C5 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. C5a also stimulates the locomotion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (chemokinesis) and direct their migration toward sites of inflammation (chemotaxis).

Publication Abstract from PubMed The tertiary structure of a unique C5a receptor antagonist was determined by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The core domain of this 8-kDa antagonist exists as an antiparallel helical bundle, similar to recombinant human (rh)-C5a. However, unlike C5a, the antagonist's C terminus was found to be conformationally restricted along a groove between helices one and four in the core domain. This conformational restriction situates C-terminal D-Arg 75 in a wedge between core residues Arg 46 and His 15. Correlation of the antagonist's tertiary structure with point mutation analysis revealed the formation of a positively charged contiguous contact surface comprised of D-Arg 75, Arg 46, Lys 49, and His 15. The significance of this surface in generating antagonist properties implies a single binding site with the C5a receptor and provides a structural template for drug design.
