Superfamily: Sbi, C3 binding domain IV

This superfamily includes the immunoglobulin-binding protein Sbi domain IV (Sbi-IV) which binds the central complement protein C3. Sbi-IV interacts with Sbi-III to induce a consumption of complement via alternative pathway activation PMID:18550524. When not interacting with Sbi-III, Sbi-IV inhibits the alternative pathway without complement consumption. Sbi-IV structurally comprises a three-helix bundle PMID:18550524.

Sbi-IV is similar to Efb-C and Ehp PMID:18687868,PMID:17351618,PMID:17699522. Sbi-IV binds to the thioester-containing domain of native C3. The interaction between Sbi-IV and C3, in the presence of domain III, results in the formation of a covalent Sbi-III-IV-C3 adduct followed by futile fluid phase consumption of C3 PMID:21055811.
