Summary

CD55 (CD55 molecule (Cromer blood group), HGNC:2665) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q32.2, encoding Complement decay-accelerating factor (P08174). This protein recognizes C4b and C3b fragments that condense with cell-surface hydroxyl or amino groups when nascent C4b and C3b are locally generated during C4 and c3 activation.

This gene encodes a glycoprotein involved in the regulation of the complement cascade. Binding of the encoded protein to complement proteins accelerates their decay, thereby disrupting the cascade and preventing damage to host cells. Antigens present on this protein constitute the Cromer blood group system (CROM). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. The predominant transcript variant encodes a membrane-bound protein, but alternatively spliced transcripts may produce soluble proteins.

Function. This protein recognizes C4b and C3b fragments that condense with cell-surface hydroxyl or amino groups when nascent C4b and C3b are locally generated during C4 and c3 activation. Interaction of daf with cell-associated C4b and C3b polypeptides interferes with their ability to catalyze the conversion of C2 and factor B to enzymatically active C2a and Bb and thereby prevents the formation of C4b2a and C3bBb, the amplification convertases of the complement cascade. Inhibits complement activation by destabilizing and preventing the formation of C3 and C5 convertases, which prevents complement damage. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Coxsackievirus A21, coxsackieviruses B1, B3 and B5. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Human enterovirus 70 and D68. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Human echoviruses 6, 7, 11, 12, 20 and 21.

Subunit / interactions. Monomer (major form) and non-disulfide-linked, covalent homodimer (minor form). Interacts with ADGRE5. (Microbial infection) Interacts with coxsackievirus A21, coxsackieviruses B1, B3 and B5 capsid proteins. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human enterovirus 70 and D68 capsid proteins. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human echoviruses 6, 7, 11, 12, 20 and 21 capsid proteins.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane Cell membrane Secreted Secreted Secreted Cell membrane Cell membrane.

Tissue specificity. Expressed on the plasma membranes of all cell types that are in intimate contact with plasma complement proteins. It is also found on the surfaces of epithelial cells lining extracellular compartments, and variants of the molecule are present in body fluids and in extracellular matrix.

Post-translational modifications. The Ser/Thr-rich domain is heavily O-glycosylated.

Disease relevance. Complement hyperactivation, angiopathic thrombosis, and protein-losing enteropathy (CHAPLE) [MIM:226300] An autosomal recessive disease characterized by abdominal pain and diarrhea, primary intestinal lymphangiectasia, edema due to hypoproteinemia, malabsorption, and less frequently, bowel inflammation, recurrent infections, and angiopathic thromboembolic disease. Patients’ T lymphocytes show increased complement activation causing surface deposition of complement and the generation of soluble C5a. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. CHAPLE is caused by biallelic mutations in the CD55 gene.

Domain organisation. The first Sushi domain (SCR1) is not necessary for function. SCR2 and SCR4 provide the proper conformation for the active site on SCR3.

Polymorphism. Responsible for the Cromer blood group system (CROM) [MIM:613793]. It consists of at least 8 high-incidence (Cr(a), Tc(a), Dr(a), Es(a), WES(b), UMC, IFC and GUTI) and three low-incidence (Tc(b), Tc(c) and WES(a)) antigens that reside on DAF. In the Cromer phenotypes Dr(a-) and Inab there is reduced or absent expression of DAF, respectively. In the case of the Dr(a-) phenotype, a single nucleotide substitution within exon 5 accounts for two changes: a simple amino acid substitution, Leu-199 that is the basis of the antigenic variation, and an alternative splicing event that underlies the decreased expression of DAF in this phenotype. The Inab phenotype is a very rare one in which the red blood cells lack all Cromer system antigens. The red blood cells of individuals with Inab phenotype have a deficiency of DAF, but these individuals are not known to have any associated hematologic or other abnormalities.

Miscellaneous. Includes partial sequence of the intron 7. Includes full sequence of the intron 7.

Similarity. Belongs to the receptors of complement activation (RCA) family.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 57 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
