Structure of complement factor H carboxyl-terminus reveals molecular basis of atypical haemolytic uremic syndrome

Factor H (FH) is the key regulator of the alternative pathway of complement. The carboxyl-terminal domains 19–20 of FH interact with the major opsonin C3b, glycosaminoglycans, and endothelial cells. Mutations within this area are associated with atypical haemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), a disease...
