physiological function | two areas outside of the active site of MASP-2 (so-called exosites) are crucial for efficient cleavage of substrate C4 complement component. Both exosites are required for high affinity binding and efficient cleavage of the substrate protein. Within the SP domain exosite, two arginine residues are most important for high affinity binding and efficient cleavage of C4. The CCP domain exosite appears to play the major role in the initial interaction with C4, whilst the SP domain exosite plays the major role in a secondary conformational change between the two proteins required to form a high affinity complex | Homo sapiens |
