Structures of the rat complement regulator CrrY

Complement receptor 1‐related protein Y (CrrY) is an important cell‐surface regulator of complement that is unique to rodent species. The structure of rat CrrY domains 1–4 has been determined in two distinct crystal forms and reveals a 70° bend between domains 3 and 4. Comparisons of this structure...

Zusammenfassung:Complement receptor 1‐related protein Y (CrrY) is an important cell‐surface regulator of complement that is unique to rodent species. The structure of rat CrrY domains 1–4 has been determined in two distinct crystal forms and reveals a 70° bend between domains 3 and 4. Comparisons of this structure with those of other complement regulators suggests that rearrangement of this interface may occur on forming the regulatory complex with C3b.
