Recombinant Human Complement C1r subcomponent (C1R)

1. The serine protease domains of C1r and C1s are at the periphery of the C1r2s2 tetramer both when alone or within the nonactivated C1 complex. The C1 complex adopts a conformation incompatible with intramolecular activation of C1. Instead, intermolecular proteolytic activation between neighboring C1 complexes bound to a complement-activating surface occurs. Many structurally unrelated molecular patterns can activate C1. PMID: 28104818
2. We identified a novel, homozygous, loss-of-function mutation (p.Pro445Leufs*11) in the C1R gene. Using the Sanger method of DNA sequencing in 14 family members, we confirmed the presence of the mutation in 4 patients with early-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and in an asymptomatic 9-year-old girl. Complement levels were low in sera from patients with truncated C1r protein. PMID: 28544690
3. Periodontal Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in at least the great majority of cases results from specific classes of heterozygous mutations in C1R and C1S. PMID: 27745832
4. We confirmed increased levels of C1R and VTN in sera from patients with Joint hypermobility syndrome by western blot analyses PMID: 26709396
5. C1q exists as the C1 complex (C1qC1r2C1s2), and C1q binding to ligands activates the C1r/C1s proteases. Incubation of nucleoli with C1 caused degradation of the nucleolar proteins nucleolin and nucleophosmin 1. T PMID: 26231209
6. C1r specificity is well suited to its cleavage targets and that efficient cleavage of C1s is achieved through both active site and exosite contributions. PMID: 23589288
7. a structural rearrangement as a switch between functional states of human C1r PMID: 20970424
8. These results provide further structural insights into the architecture of the C1 complex, and the interactions between C1r and C1s. PMID: 20592021
9. The modular C1r protein is the first protease activated in the classical complement pathway, a key component of innate immunity. PMID: 20796027
10. Detailed mapping of C1q post-translational modifications and insights into the C1r/C1s binding sites. PMID: 20008834
11. Using a recombinant CUB2-CCP1 domain pair and the individual CCP1 module, we showed that binding of Ca(2+) induces the folding of the CUB2 domain and stabilizes its structure. PMID: 20178990
12. These findings show no evidence for association between C1r codon 135 polymorphism and Alzheimer's Disease in our population. PMID: 12499050
13. Six common and rare alleles, C1R*1, C1R*2, C1R*5, C1R*8, C1R*9, and C1R*13, were characterized by five mutations at amino acid positions 114, 135, 146, 167 and 244, in exons 4, 5 and 7 where the PMID: 12914573
14. The activated CCP1-CCP2-SP fragment makes up a dimer in a head-to-tail fashion similarly to the previously characterized zymogen. PMID: 17996945
15. The catalytic properties of C1r, the protease that mediates activation of the C1 complex of complement, are mediated by its C-terminal region, comprising two complement control protein (CCP) modules followed by a serine protease (SP) domain PMID: 11445589
