Abstract

The lectin complement pathway in innate immunity is closely related to the classical complement pathway in adaptive immunity, with respect to the structures and functions of their components. Both pathways are initiated by complexes consisting of collagenous proteins and serine proteases of the mannose-binding lectin (MBL)-associated serine protease (MASP)/C1r/C1s family. It has been speculated that the classical pathway emerged after the lectin pathway, and that the activation mechanism of the latter was partially conserved. The classical and lectin pathways can be traced back to at least cartilaginous fish and ascidian (urochordata), respectively. To elucidate the evolution of the complement system, we isolated and characterized a GlcNAc-binding lectin from sera of lamprey (agnathans), the most primitive vertebrate that lacks the classical pathway. Lamprey GlcNAc-binding lectin was an oligomer consisting of 24-kDa subunits. cDNA and phylogenetic analyses revealed that the lamprey GlcNAc-binding lectin is an orthologue of mammalian C1q, a collagenous subcomponent of the first component involved in binding to immunoglobulins in the classical pathway. Lamprey C1q copurified with MASP-A, a serine protease of the MASP/C1r/C1s fami...Continue Reading

Antibodies: Complement Activation

The complement system can be activated by antigen-associated antibody. In the classical pathway of complement activation, C1q, C4b, and C3b are all able to bind to the Fc portion of IgG or IgM. Find the latest research on antibodies and complement activation here.
