Complement receptor 1-related protein Y (CrrY) is an important cell-surface regulator of complement that is unique to rodent species. The structure of rat CrrY domains 1-4 has been determined in two distinct crystal forms and reveals a 70° bend between domains 3 and 4. Comparisons of this structure with those of other complement regulators suggests that rearrangement of this interface may occur on forming the regulatory complex with C3b.

PR and SJ were funded by the Wellcome Trust (#083599) and the
MRC (#G0400775) Project Grants to SML. The staff at the ESRF
ID14-4 and Diamond I04 synchrotron beamlines assisted with data
collection. Graeme Winter, Claus Flensburg, Clemens Vonrhein and
Oliver Smart helped with data processing and refinement. We are
grateful to Ge´rard Bricogne and the members of the Global Phasing
Consortium for access to a beta version of the autoBUSTER software.
