ABSTRACT:
Analogs of regulators of complement activation (RCA) proteins which have altered specificities and affinities for the targets C3b and/or C4b are described. These analogs are obtained by substituting amino acids which effect the binding of these proteins, identified as amino acids 35, 64-65, 92-94 (C4b) and the sequence S-T-K-P-(P-I-C)-Q (C3b) in the CR1 protein can be transferred to corresponding regions of CR1 or of additional members of the RCA family. Analogs can also be designed by substituting amino acids which affect the binding of these proteins into homologous regions of noncorresponding SCRs of CR1 or other family members.
