Structure of human C8 protein provides mechanistic insight into membrane pore formation by complement.
J. Biol. Chem. 286 , 17585-17592, (2011) C8 is one of five complement proteins that assemble on bacterial membranes to form the lethal pore-like "membrane attack complex" (MAC) of complement. The MAC consists of one C5b, C6, C7, and C8 and 1... |

Structure of human complement C8, a precursor to membrane attack.
J. Mol. Biol. 405 , 325-330, (2011) Complement component C8 plays a pivotal role in the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC), an important antibacterial immune effector. C8 initiates membrane penetration and coordinates MAC po... |

Functional studies of the MACPF domain of human complement protein C8alpha reveal sites for simultaneous binding of C8beta, C8gamma, and C9.
Biochemistry 45 , 5290-5296, (2006) Human C8 is one of five components of the membrane attack complex of complement (MAC). It contains three subunits (C8alpha, C8beta, C8gamma) arranged as a disulfide-linked C8alpha-gamma dimer that is ... |
