    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Immunology
    • Proteomics

    Background:

    • C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) is a crucial component of the human complement system.
    • Efficient isolation and characterization of C1-INH are essential for understanding its function and potential therapeutic applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report an improved isolation procedure for human C1 inhibitor (C1-INH).
    • To characterize the biochemical and structural properties of the isolated C1-INH.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized three conventional chromatographic steps for C1-INH isolation after preliminary purification.
    • Employed sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to determine molecular weight and assess purity.
    • Analyzed carbohydrate content and amino acid composition, including N-terminal sequencing.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a high overall yield (70%) of C1-INH using the improved isolation procedure.
    • Determined an extinction coefficient (E 1%, 1 cm 280nm) of 3.60.
    • Characterized C1-INH as a glycoprotein with 33% carbohydrate content, an estimated true molecular weight of 116,000, and an unusual carbohydrate composition. N-terminal sequencing revealed Asparagine at the terminus.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method provides an efficient means for obtaining high-purity C1-INH.
    • The unusual carbohydrate composition suggests non-canonical glycosylation patterns in C1-INH.
    • The reported N-terminal sequence and biochemical data contribute valuable information for further research on C1-INH.
