The role of the Lys628 (192) residue of the complement protease, C1s, in interacting with peptide and protein substrates

The C1s protease of the classical complement pathway propagates the initial activation of this pathway of the system by cleaving and thereby activating the C4 and C2 complement components. This facilitates the formation of the classical pathway C3 convertase (C4bC2a). C1s has a Lys residue located a...
