(A) shows an abridged schematic for classical pathway (CP) activation. Following activation of C1q via antibody Fc, C4 and C2 are cleaved and form C4bC2a (the CP C3 convertase) which cleaves C3 into …
(A), (B), and (C) highlight negative cooperativity between the K8, K92, and K57 peptides, respectively. Neither K57 or K92 can bind to the C5-K8 complex but K8 can bind, albeit at a lower level, to …
(A) and (B) show the crystal structures of C5 in complex with the K8 and K92 knob domain peptides, respectively. The binding site for the K8 peptide (A, shown in red) is located on a previously …
(A) Structural topology of the K8 peptide. Topology diagram highlighting the secondary structural elements present in the K8 peptide. This image was generated using PDBsum (EMBL-EBI). (B) K8-C5 …
The blue mesh shows mFo-DFc simulated annealing OMIT maps calculated in PHENIX and contoured at (A) 3.0 σ around the K8 peptide and (B) at 1.3 σ around the K92 peptide. In the OMIT calculation, the …
(A) Structural topology of the K92 peptide. Topology diagram of the K92 peptide highlighting the secondary structural elements present in the K92 peptide. This image was generated using PDBsum …
(A) Comparison of K8 and K92 paratope size with known antibody–antigen complexes. K8 and K92 paratope size are compared to non-redundant antibodies in the structural antibody database SAbDab (N = 924…
Structural alignment of the complexes of C5 with the K8 and K92 knob domain peptides with the known structures for OmCI and RaCI (Protein Data Bank [PDB] accession code 5HCC; Jore et al., 2016), …
Structures of the C5-K92 and C5-CVF (Protein Data Bank accession code 3PRX; Laursen et al., 2011) complexes were superimposed via their MG5 domains, similar to those shown in Figure 4C. Top and …
Size exclusion chromatography multi-angle laser light scattering (SEC-MALLS) chromatograms (A) for apo C5 (black) and C5-K92 (orange) show a homogenous molecular weight increase across the C5-K92 …
(A) Size exclusion chromatography multi-angle laser light scattering (SEC-MALLS) and SEC small-angle X-ray scattering (SEC-SAXS) chromatograms for C5-knob domain complexes. SEC-MALLS chromatograms …
Differential hydrogen-deuterium exchange (ΔHDX) plots for C5 in complex with knob domains (A) K8, (B) K57, and (C) K92 at 1 hr of deuterium exposure. Blue denotes peptides with decreased HDX …
