Identification of the disulfide bonds of human complement C1s
D Hess et al. Biochemistry. 1991.
Abstract
C1s, one of the three subcomponents of C1, the first component of the complement system, is a complex serine protease. To determine the disulfide-bonding pattern, fragments of C1s were generated by cleavage with pepsin, thermolysin, or subtilisin. Disulfide bonds have been identified by several methods, for example, direct observation of the phenylthiohydantoin derivative of cystine during Edman degradation of isolated peptides and placement in the known cDNA sequence. All of the 26 half-cystines are linked in disulfide bonds occurring at positions 50-68, 120-132, 128-141, 143-156, 160-187, 219-236, 279-326, 306-339, 344-388, 371-406, 410-534, 580-603, and 613-644. All of the disulfide bonds of the earlier described substructures of C1s, the EGF-homologous part, the two SCR units, and the two domains typical for C1s and C1r are localized within these domains.
