Abstrakt:	The activation of the CP/LP C3 proconvertase complex is a key event in complement activation and involves cleavage of C4 and C2 by the C1s protease (classical pathway) or the mannose-binding lectin-associated serine protease (MASP)-2 (lectin pathway). Efficient cleavage of C4 by C1s and MASP-2 involves exosites on the complement control protein and serine protease (SP) domains of the proteases. The complement control protein domain exosite is not involved in cleavage of C2 by the proteases, but the role of an anion-binding exosite (ABE) on the SP domains of the proteases has (to our knowledge) never been investigated. In this study, we have shown that the ABE on the SP of both C1s and MASP-2 is crucial for efficient cleavage of C2, with mutant forms of the proteases greatly impaired in their rate of cleavage of C2. We have additionally shown that the site of binding for the ABE of the proteases is very likely to be located on the von Willebrand factor domain of C2, with the precise area differing between the enzymes: whereas C1s requires two anionic clusters on the von Willebrand factor domain to enact efficient cleavage of C2, MASP-2 apparently only requires one. These data provide (to our knowledge) new information about the molecular determinants for efficient activation of C2 by C1s and MASP-2. The enhanced view of the molecular events underlying the early stages of complement activation provides further possible intervention points for control of this activation that is involved in a number of inflammatory diseases.
