C8A
geneOn this page
Summary
C8A (complement C8 alpha chain, HGNC:1352) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p32.2, encoding Complement component C8 alpha chain (P07357). Component of the membrane attack complex (MAC), a multiprotein complex activated by the complement cascade, which inserts into a target cell membrane and forms a pore, leading to target cell membrane rupture and cell lysis.
C8 is a component of the complement system and contains three polypeptides, alpha, beta and gamma. This gene encodes the alpha subunit of C8. C8 participates in the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC). The MAC assembles on bacterial membranes to form a pore, permitting disruption of bacterial membrane organization. Mutations in this gene cause complement C8 alpha-gamma deficiency.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 10)

- result suggests that this segment of C8alpha and corresponding segments of the other MAC family members are independently folded domains (PMID:16618117)

Function. Component of the membrane attack complex (MAC), a multiprotein complex activated by the complement cascade, which inserts into a target cell membrane and forms a pore, leading to target cell membrane rupture and cell lysis. The MAC is initiated by proteolytic cleavage of C5 into complement C5b in response to the classical, alternative, lectin and GZMK complement pathways. The complement pathways consist in a cascade of proteins that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system. C8A, together with C8B and C8G, inserts into the target membrane, but does not form pores by itself. During MAC assembly, associates with C5b, C6 and C7 to form the C5b8 intermediate complex that inserts into the target membrane and traverses the bilayer increasing membrane rigidity.
Subunit / interactions. Heterotrimer of 3 chains: alpha (C8A), beta (C8B) and gamma (C8G); the alpha and gamma chains are disulfide bonded. Component of the membrane attack complex (MAC), composed of complement C5b, C6, C7, C8A, C8B, C8G and multiple copies of the pore-forming subunit C9.
Subcellular location. Secreted. Target cell membrane.
Disease relevance. Complement component 8 deficiency, 1 (C8D1) [MIM:613790] A rare defect of the complement classical pathway associated with susceptibility to severe recurrent infections, predominantly by Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Neisseria meningitidis. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Membrane attack complex (MAC) assembly is inhibited by CD59, thereby protecting self-cells from damage during complement activation. CD59 acts by binding to the beta-haipins of C8 (C8A and C8B), forming an intermolecular beta-sheet that prevents incorporation of the multiple copies of C9 required for complete formation of the osmolytic pore. MAC assembly is also inhibited by clusterin (CLU) chaperones that inhibit polymerization of C9.
Similarity. Belongs to the complement C6/C7/C8/C9 family.
