crystal structures of the C3b homologue cobra venom factor CVF in complex with C5, and in complex with C5 and the inhibitor SSL7, both at 4.3 A resolution. The structures reveal a parallel two-point attachment between C5 and CVF, where the presence of SSL7 only slightly affects the C5-CVF interface, explaining the IgA dependence for SSL7-mediated inhibition of C5 cleavage. CVF functions as a relatively rigid binding scaffold inducing a conformational change in C5, which positions its cleavage site in proximity to the serine protease Bb | Homo sapiens |
