C3 convertase is a central enzyme complex in the complement system, a critical component of innate immunity that enhances pathogen clearance, inflammation, and tissue homeostasis. It exists in two forms: the classical/lectin pathway C4b2a and the alternative pathway C3bBb. Both cleave complement component C3 into C3a and C3b, amplifying complement activation and forming membrane attack complexes to lyse pathogens. Dysregulation of C3 convertase is linked to inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders, and age-related macular degeneration.
Recombinant C3 convertase proteins are engineered in vitro to study its structure, function, and regulatory mechanisms. Producing active recombinant C3 convertase is challenging due to its labile nature and requirement for precise subunit assembly (e.g., C4b with C2a or C3b with Bb). Expression systems like mammalian or insect cells are often used to ensure proper post-translational modifications. Purification typically involves affinity tags and optimized buffers to stabilize the complex.
Research on recombinant C3 convertase has advanced understanding of complement activation and inhibition. Structural studies using cryo-EM or X-ray crystallography, enabled by recombinant proteins, reveal binding sites for regulatory proteins (e.g., factor H, decay-accelerating factor) and guide therapeutic development. Inhibitors targeting C3 convertase, such as compstatin derivatives, are being explored for conditions like paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Additionally, recombinant forms serve as tools for drug screening, antibody development, and diagnostic assays.
Despite progress, maintaining functional stability and mimicking physiological conditions remain hurdles. Ongoing efforts focus on engineering stabilized variants and optimizing production to support therapeutic and mechanistic studies, underscoring its significance in immunology and drug discovery.
