Recent cDNA sequencing data has allowed the prediction of the entire amino acid sequences of complement components factor B and C2, the complement control proteins factor H and C4b-binding protein and a partial sequence for the C3b/C4b receptor CR 1. These proteins all contain internal repeating units of approximately 60 amino acids, each repeating unit having a characteristic framework of highly conserved residues. The N-terminal Ba and C2b portions of factor B and C2 both contain 3 repeating units and the chains of C4b-binding protein and factor H contain 8 and 20 repeating units, respectively, while the precise number of units in CR1 is not known yet. These structurally homologous complement proteins are also functionally related as they all interact with C3b and C4b during activation of the cascade. The repeating units also occur in the functionally unrelated proteins subcomponent C lr,~ 2-glycoprotein I, blood clotting factor XIII and interleukin-2 receptor. In this review Ken Reid and his colleagues propose that this could be a general feature of a superfamily of structurally related proteins.The complement system is composed of at least 20 plasma glycoproteins. This number includes seven control proteins in addition to the 13 components of the classical and alternative pathways which are the well characterized routes by which activation of the system takes place 1-3 (Fig. 1). Many of the biological effects of the complement system (which can involve the induction of inflammatory responses, engulfment, killing and lysis of bacteria and viruses) are mediated by a variety of cellular receptors 4 such as the C3blC4b receptor (CRI) which can bind to the activated components (principally C3blC4b) or the fragments generated on limited proteolysis of these activated components by the action of control proteins such as the enzyme factor I and its cofactors factor H (H), CRI and C4b-binding protein (C4BP). A feature of these three groups of proteins associated with the complement system, ie compone_nts, control proteins and receptors, is the presence in each group of two, or more, proteins which interact with C3b, or C4b (Fig. I). A summary of the biochemistry and genetics of the control proteins C4BP and H, the membrane bound proteins CRI, decay accelerating factor (DAF) and glycoprotein 45-70 (gp 45-70) which pointed out the functional similarity between those proteins, was recently given in Immunology Today by Holers et al. 5. However, an interesting feature which has emerged from detailed structural studies is that, in addition to showing functional homology, the control proteins C4BP and H and the receptor CRI show an unusual type of structural homology that is shared with the components C2, factor B and subcomponent Clr, and at least three
