The gene encodes a monomeric single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein found on erythrocytes, leukocytes, glomerular podocytes, and splenic follicular dendritic cells. The Knops blood group system is a system of antigens located on this protein. The protein mediates cellular binding to particles and immune complexes that have activated complement. Decreases in expression of this protein and/or mutations in its gene have been associated with gallbladder carcinomas, mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and sarcoidosis. Mutations in this gene have also been associated with a reduction in Plasmodium falciparum rosetting, conferring protection against severe malaria. Alternate allele-specific splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. Additional allele specific isoforms, including a secreted form, have been described but have not been fully characterized.1 In primates, CR1 serves as the main system for processing and clearance of complement opsonized immune complexes. It has been shown that CR1 can act as a negative regulator of the complement cascade, mediate immune adherence and phagocytosis and inhibit both the classic and alternative pathways. The number of CR1 molecules decreases with aging of erythrocytes in normal individuals and is also decreased in pathological conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus SLE, HIV infection, some haemolytic anaemias and other conditions featuring immune complexes. Contents 1 1q32 region 2 Forms 3 Structure 4 Alleles 5 Rosetting 6 Role in blood Groups 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External links 1q32 region In humans, the CR1 gene is located at on the long arm of chromosome 1 at band 32 1q32 and lies within a complex of immunoregulatory genes. In 5'-3' order the genes in this region are: membrane cofactor protein - CR1- complement receptor type 2 - decay-accelerating factor - C4-binding protein. Membrane cofactor protein is a widely distributed C3b/C4b binding regulatory glycoprotein of the complement system; decay-accelerating factor DAF: CD55: Cromer antigen protects host cells from complement-mediated damage by regulating the activation of C3 convertases on host cell surfaces; complement receptor 2 is the C3d receptor. Factor H, another immunoregulatory protein, also maps to this location. Forms The most common form of the CR1 gene CR11 is composed of 38 exons spanning 133kb encoding a protein of 2039 amino acids and has a predicted molecular weight of 220 kDa. Large insertions and deletions have given rise to four structurally variant genes and some alleles may extend up to 160 kb and 9 additional exons. The transcription start site has been mapped to 111 bp upstream of the translation initiation codon ATG and there is another possible start site 29 bp further upstream. The promoter region lacks a distinct TATA box sequence. The gene is expressed principally on erythrocytes, monocytes, neutrophils and B cells but is also present on some T lymphocytes, mast cells and glomerular podocytes. The mean number of complement receptor 1 CR1 molecules on erythrocytes in normal individuals lies within the range of 100-1000 molecules per cell. Two codominant alleles exist - one controlling high and the other low expression. Homozygotes differ by a factor of 10-20: heterozygotes typically have 500-600 copies per erythrocyte. These two alleles appear to have originated before the divergence of the European and African populations. Structure The encoded protein has a 47 amino acid signal peptide, an extracellular domain of 1930 residues, a 25 residue transmembrane domain and a 43 amino acid C terminal cytoplasmic region. The leader sequence and 5'-untranslated region are contained in one exon. The large extracellular domain of CR1, which has 25 potential N-glycosylation sites, can be divided into 30 short consensus repeats SCRs also known as complement control protein repeats CCPs or sushi domains, each having 60 to 70 amino acids. The sequence homology between SCRs ranges between 60 to 99 percent. The transmembrane region is encoded by 2 exons and the cytoplasmic domain and the 3'-untranslated regions are coded for by two separate exons. The 30 or so SCRs are further grouped into four longer regions termed long homologous repeats LHRs each encoding approximately 45 kDa of protein and designated LHR-A, -B, -C, and -D. The first three have seven SCRs while LHR-D has 9 or more. Each LHR is composed of 8 exons and within an LHR, SCR 1, 5, and 7 are each encoded by a single exon, SCR 2 and 6 are each encoded by 2 exons, and a single exon codes for SCR 3 and 4. The LHR seem to have arisen as a result of unequal crossing over and the event that gave rise to LHR-B seems to have occurred within the fourth exon of either LHR-A or -C. To date the atomic structure have been solved for SCRs 15-16, 16 16-17. Alleles Four alleles are known with predicted protein molecular weights of 190 kDa, 220 kDa, 250 kDa and 280kDa are known. Multiple size variants 55kDa-220kDa are also found among non-human primates and a partial amino-terminal duplication CR1-like gene that encodes the short 55kDa-70kDa forms expressed on non human erythrocytes. These short CR1 forms, some of which are glycosylphosphatidylinositol GPI anchored, are expressed on erythrocytes and the 220kDa molecular weight CR1 form is expressed on monocytes. The gene including the repeats is highly conserved in primates possibly because of the ability of the repeats to bind complement. LHR-A binds preferentially to the complement component C4b: LHR-B and LHR-C bind to C3b and also, albeit with a lower affinity, to C4b. Curiously the human CR1 gene appears to have an unusual protein conformation but the significance of this finding is not clear. Rosetting Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 PfEMP1 interacts with uninfected erythrocytes. This 'stickiness', known as rosetting, is believed to be a strategy used by the parasite to remain sequestered in the microvasculature to avoid destruction in the spleen and liver. Erythrocyte rosetting causes obstruction of the blood flow in microcapillaries. There is a direct interaction between PfEMP1 and a functional site of complement receptor type 1 on uninfected erythrocytes. Role in blood Groups The Knops antigen was the 25th blood group system recognized and consists of the single antigen York Yk a with the following allelic pairs: Knops Kn a and b McCoy McC a and b Swain-Langley Sl 1 and 2 The antigen is known to lie within the CR1 protein repeats and was first described in 1970 in a 37-year-old Caucasian woman. Racial differences exist in the frequency of these antigens: 98.5% and 96.7% of American Caucasians and Africans respectively are positive for McCa. 36% of a Mali population were Kna and 14% of exhibited the null or Helgeson phenotype compared with only 1% in the American population. The frequencies of McC b and Sl 2 are higher in Africans compared with Europeans and while the frequency of McC b was similar between Africans from the USA or Mali, the Sl b phenotype is significantly more common in Mali - 39% and 65% respectively. In Gambia the Sl 2/McCb phenotype appears to have been positively selected - presumably due to malaria. 80% of Papua New Guineans have the Helgeson phenotype and case control studies suggest this phenotype has a protective effect against severe malaria.
