The third component of complement, C3, is one of the most versatile
proteins and an important participant in immune surveillance and
immune response pathways. Its multifunctio nality is based on its
ability to interact specifically with multiple serum complement
proteins, cell surface receptors, and mem brant;-associated
regulatory proteins. One of its most intriguing strategies of
interaction with cell surfaces is the covalent binding of activated
C3 through the internal thioester. The field has expanded over the
past 10 years and a wealth of information has accumulated. C3 from
various species and many of the human C3 binding proteins have been
cloned and expressed. Numerous cellular responses mediated by the
diffe rent fragments of C3 have been described. The findings that
C3 interacts in a ligand-receptor-like fashion with proteins of
nonself origin such as the gC of herpes simplex virus, a 70-kDa
protein from Candida albicans, proteins from Epstein-Barr virus,
etc. has opened a new field of investigation. The papers assembled
in this volume summarize the wealth of data on the various aspects
of the C3 interactions; together they bring to the reader new
information on the chemistry, molecular gene tics, biology, and
pathophysiology of C3 and C3-binding proteins. Emphasis is given to
structural features as they relate to functions. Spring 1989 JOHN
