Analysis of Binding Sites in Human C-reactive Protein for FcγRI, FcγRIIA, and C1q by Site-directed Mutagenesis

Abstract: Human C-reactive protein (CRP) is a classical, acute phase serum protein synthesized by the liver in response to infection, inflammation, or trauma. CRP binds to microbial antigens and damaged cells, opsonizes particles for phagocytosis and regulates the inflammatory response by the induction of cytokine synthesis. These activities of CRP depend on its ability to activate complement and to bind to Fc␥ receptors (Fc␥R). The goal of this study was to elucidate amino acid residues important for the interaction of… Show more

“…His-38, Thr-173, and Leu-176 form part of the putative FcR binding site on CRP, and mutations of each one reduced both FcγR and C1q binding significantly (6,20). When these CRP mutants were assayed for FcαRI binding using BIAcore, H38A and L176A bound to the receptor similarly to wild-type CRP, but T173A showed increased FcαRI binding compared with the wild type (Fig.…”

“…More specifically, CRP binds to the surface of apoptotic cells, invading microbes or 'altered' cells and activates the classic complement pathway, enhancing opsonization and phagocytosis of CRP-tagged targets [21,22]. On the other hand, CRP recruits C4b-binding protein (the major inhibitor of the classic pathway) and modulates the activity of immune cells (neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages) [19].…”

“…On the hCRP effector face, C1q and FcR share an identical a-helical region for binding, the centre pore boundary (Bang et al, 2005;Gaboriaud et al, 2003;Lu et al, 2008). However, the Dare-PTX pore differs from that of hCRP (Fig.…”
