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.

Funding

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.
