Gene Description

CR1 encodes complement receptor type 1/CD35, a large single-pass membrane receptor composed of complement-control protein repeat domains and expressed on erythrocytes, monocytes/macrophages, granulocytes, B cells, subsets of T cells, follicular dendritic cells, and other immune-associated cells. CR1 binds complement-opsonized ligands, especially C3b and C4b, allowing immune adherence and clearance of immune complexes and particles from the circulation. CR1 also regulates complement by accelerating decay of classical and alternative pathway convertases and acting as a factor I cofactor for cleavage of C3b and C4b. In specific immune-cell contexts, CR1 engagement can modulate T-cell, B-cell, and regulatory T-cell responses, while complement-pathway interactions with C1q, MBL, ficolins, and microbial ligands broaden its immune-recognition roles.

Summary: This membrane/extracellular location is consistent with CR1 as a large ectodomain-containing single-pass complement receptor.
Reason: This location is consistent with CR1 acting as a single-pass cell-surface/plasma-membrane complement receptor.

Identification of distinct C3b and C4b recognition sites in ...
ACCEPT
Summary: CR1 regulates complement by accelerating convertase decay and serving as a cofactor for factor I-mediated C3b/C4b cleavage, limiting complement activation and cytotoxicity.
Reason: This term captures the core CR1/CD35 role as a cell-surface complement receptor that binds C3b/C4b-bearing ligands, supports immune adherence/clearance, and regulates complement convertase and factor I-dependent cleavage reactions.

Core Functions

CR1 acts as a cell-surface receptor for complement-opsonized ligands, binding C3b and C4b through extracellular CCP/Sushi domains to support immune adherence and clearance of immune complexes and complement-tagged particles, especially on human erythrocytes and myeloid/immune cells.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:2972794
    mediated rosette formation with sheep erythrocytes bearing C4b and C3b
  • PMID:24022490
    This process is called immune-adherence clearance
  • PMID:18684861
    The primary identified function of complement receptor 1 (CR1/CD35) on primate erythrocytes is to bind complement-tagged inflammatory particles

CR1 binding to C3b/C4b also provides complement-regulatory activity: CR1 accelerates decay of classical and alternative pathway C3/C5 convertases and acts as a factor I cofactor for cleavage of C3b and C4b, limiting complement activation and complement-dependent cytotoxicity on cells bearing complement-tagged ligands.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:6910481
    It promotes the dissociation of the alternative pathway C3 convertase C3b,Bb and the cleavage of C3b by C3b/C4b inactivator
  • PMID:6910481
    CR1 also inactivates the C3 and C5 convertases of the classical pathway
  • PMID:10531307
    Site 1 (CCPs 1-3) alone mediated the decay acceleration of the classical and alternative pathway C3 convertases

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should CR1 interactions with C1q, MBL, and ficolins be curated with more specific complement-recognition binding terms rather than generic protein binding?

Suggested experts: Complement pathway experts, GO molecular-function curators

Q: Which CR1 immune-cell regulatory annotations should be considered core across species and cell types versus retained as human T-cell/B-cell context?

Suggested experts: CR1 immunology experts, GO immune process curators

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Use CR1 variants disrupting C3b/C4b sites, CCP24-25 defense-collagen binding, and cytoplasmic FAP-1 interaction in erythrocytes or engineered immune cells, then measure immune-complex binding, transfer to macrophages, factor I cofactor activity, and convertase decay.

Hypothesis: CR1 immune-adherence clearance and complement-regulatory functions can be separated from defense-collagen binding and erythrocyte clustering modules.

Type: domain-resolved complement receptor function assay

Experiment: Compare CR1 engagement on primary human T-cell and B-cell subsets with C3b/C4b ligands versus antibody crosslinking, quantifying cytokines, proliferation, Treg differentiation, plasma-cell differentiation, and complement receptor signaling markers.

Hypothesis: Adaptive immune-cell effects of CR1 are cell-context-specific signaling outcomes of complement ligand engagement rather than the universal core function of CR1.

Type: primary immune-cell receptor signaling assay
