Caracterización funcional y estructural de la proteína Factor H-related B (FHR-B) del sistema del complemento del ratón

Abstract

[ES] La existencia de proteínas relacionadas con el factor H (FHR) en el ratón se conoce desde hace algún tiempo, pero aún no está claro su equivalencia funcional, si la hay, con las FHR humanas. Este conocimiento es relevante para modelar en ratones enfermedades que implican a las FHR humanas. Combinando cromatografía de afinidad y estrategias proteómicas hemos confirmado la presencia en plasma de ratón de FHR-B, FHR-C y FHR-E. De acuerdo con datos previos, hemos visto que FHR-B compite con la regulación por el FH murino en ensayos de hemólisis con glóbulos rojos de cobaya, y que también lo hace en ensayos de hemólisis con eritrocitos de oveja, mientras que FHR-C y FHR-E no compiten en ambos. FHR-B se une a C3 nativo y a los fragmentos activados C3b, iC3b y C3dg. Análisis de ultracentrifugación analítica sugieren que FHR-B está parcialmente dimerizado. El sitio de unión de C3b en FHR-B está ubicado en la región C-terminal, mientras que el putativo dominio de dimerización de FHR-B probablemente involucra la región N-terminal. El estudio de la secuencia de aminoácidos sugiere que la proteína FHR-B de ratón presenta un dominio de ácido siálico en sus regiones C-terminales. Sin embargo, nuestros análisis indican que este sitio de unión de ácido siálico no es funcional. FHR-B se une fuertemente a los tejidos de ratón opsonizados con fragmentos activados de C3 donde promueve la activación del complemento y una mayor deposición de fragmentos activados de C3. Curiosamente, un anticuerpo policlonal para FHR-B generado en conejo reacciona de forma cruzada con FH, FHL-1 y FHR-1 humanos, pero no con otros FHR humanos. En conjunto, nuestros datos ilustran que la proteína FHR-B de ratón comparte importantes similitudes estructurales y funcionales con la proteína FHR-1 humana. Nuestros datos abren la posibilidad de que mutantes de FHR-B que mimeticen las características de los mutantes de FHR-1 asociados a patología tengan similares consecuencias patológicas en ratón.

[EN] The existence of factor H-related proteins (FHRs) in mouse is known for some time, but it is still unclear their functional equivalence, if any, with the human FHRs. This knowledge is relevant to model in mice diseases implicating the human FHRs. By combining affinity chromatography and proteomic strategies we confirm the presence in mouse plasma of FHR-B, FHR-C and FHR-E. In agreement with previous data FHR-B competes mouse FH regulation in guinea pig red cell hemolysis assays, but also in the sheep hemolysis assay, while FHR-C and FHR-E do not compete in both. FHR-B binds native C3 and the activated fragments C3b, iC3b and C3dg and ultracentrifugation analyses suggest that FHR-B circulates partially as a dimer. The C3b-binding site in FHR-B is located in the C-terminal region, whereas the putative FHR-B dimerization domain likely involves the N-terminal region. Amino acid sequence examinations suggest that mouse FHR-B present a sialic acid domain in their C-terminal regions. However, our analyses indicate that this sialic acid binding sites is not functional. Recombinant FHR-B strongly binds to mouse C3-opsonized tissues where promotes complement activation and further deposition of C3 activated fragments. Interestingly, a polyclonal antibody to FHR-B raised in rabbit cross-react with human FH, FHL-1 and FHR-1, but not with other human FHRs. In whole, our data illustrates that mouse FHR-B share important structural and functional similarities with the human FHR-1 protein. Our data open the possibility that FHR-B mutants that mimic the characteristics of disease-associated FHR-1 mutants have similar pathological consequences in mice.
