crystal structures of the pro-convertase C3bB at 4 A resolution and its complex with factor D at 3.5 A resolution. Factor B binding to C3b forms an open activation state of C3bB. Factor D specifically binds the open conformation of factor B through a site distant from the catalytic center and is activated by the substrate, which displaces factor DĀs self-inhibitory loop. This concerted proteolytic mechanism, which is cofactordependent and substrate-induced, restricts complement amplification to C3b-tagged target cells | Homo sapiens |

Cleavage of Arg-/-Ser bond in complement component C3 alpha-chain to yield C3a and C3b, and Arg-/- bond in complement component C5 alpha-chain to yield C5a and C5b | factor B binding to C3b forms an open activation state of C3bB. Factor D specifically binds the open conformation of factor B through a site distant from the catalytic center and is activated by the substrate, which displaces factor D's self-inhibitory loop.
