Disruption of disulfide bonds is responsible for impaired secretion in human complement factor H deficiency
Abstract
Factor H, a secretory glycoprotein composed of 20 short consensus repeat modules, is an inhibitor of the complement system. Previous studies of inherited factor H deficiency revealed single amino acid substitutions at conserved cysteine residues, on one allele arginine for cysteine 518 (C518R) and on the other tyrosine for cysteine 941 (C941Y) (Ault, B. H., Schmidt, B. Z., Fowler, N. L., Kashtan, C. E., Ahmed, A. E., Vogt, B. A., and Colten, H. R. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 25168-25175). To ascertain if the phenotype, impaired secretion of factor H, is due to the C518R substitution or the C941Y substitution and to ascertain the mechanism by which secretion is impaired, we studied COS-1 and HepG2 cells transfected with wild type and several mutant factor H molecules. The results showed markedly impaired secretion of both C518R and C941Y factor H as well as that of factor H molecules bearing alanine or arginine substitutions at the Cys518-Cys546 disulfide bond (C518A, C546A, C546R, C518A-C546A). In each case, mutant factor H was retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and degraded relatively slowly as compared with most other mutant secretory and membrane proteins that are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. These data indicate that impaired secretion of the naturally occurring C518R and C941Y mutant factor H proteins is due to disruption of framework-specific disulfide bonds in factor H short consensus repeat modules.
