Abstract
Human C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is a soluble, multiple-subunit inhibitor of complement that circulates in blood. Recently C4BP was shown to bind DNA, reduce DNA release from necrotic cells and limit DNA-mediated complement activation in solution. Herein we employed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to measure chemical shift perturbations and used them to restrain the computational docking of a B-form 10-base-pair DNA molecule onto the solution structure of C4BP alpha-chain complement control protein (CCP) domains 1-2 (C4BP12). Six amino acid residues located on one face of the interdomain junction - Val(38), Ser(40), Thr(43), Tyr(62), Lys(63) and Arg(64) - exhibited the largest chemical shift changes. In the model, the DNA lies in a cleft formed by the interdomain interface. The double-helix is perpendicular to the long axis of C4BP12 consistent with the multiple arms of C4BP binding to adjacent sites on a longer DNA molecule. The DNA lies in a region previously shown to bind C4b and heparin and these molecules (but not C3b) inhibited the DNA-C4BP interaction. Nonetheless, crucial C4BP functions such as cofactor activity for factor I cleavage of C4b and C3b, and decay acceleration of the classical C3 convertase appeared ...Continue Reading
