    Researchers isolated complementary DNAs (cDNAs) for human C1r, a serine protease crucial for complement system activation. This study details the C1r gene sequence and its protein precursor structure.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • C1r is a zymogen serine protease essential for initiating the classical complement pathway.
    • Understanding C1r's structure is key to elucidating complement system regulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To isolate and characterize complementary DNAs (cDNAs) encoding human C1r.
    • To analyze the nucleotide sequence and deduce the amino acid sequence of the C1r precursor.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation of cDNAs from human liver and Hep G2 cell poly(A) RNA libraries.
    • DNA sequencing and analysis to determine the full-length C1r mRNA sequence.
    • Bioinformatic analysis to identify protein domains and homologies.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Isolated overlapping cDNAs spanning 2493 nucleotides of human C1r mRNA.
    • The C1r precursor polypeptide consists of 705 amino acids, with distinct noncoding regions.
    • Identified a noncatalytic A-chain with a growth factor domain and unique repeats, and a catalytic B-chain homologous to trypsin proteases.

    Conclusions:

    • The cDNA sequence provides a comprehensive blueprint for human C1r.
    • Structural analysis reveals conserved domains and repeats, suggesting functional roles in protein interactions and complement activation.
    • This work lays the foundation for further investigation into C1r's role in immunity.
