C3-degrading proteinase enzyme C016 / 1362
C3-degrading proteinase enzyme. Molecular model of a proteinase enzyme from the TIGR4 strain of the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae. This enzyme is named cppA, after the gene that regulates its production. Proteinase enzymes act to degrade proteins, and this one degrades the C3 protein, also called complement component 3. This protein is part of the innate, or complement, immune system, named after the C3 gene that encodes it. Those with a deficiency in C3 are more susceptible to bacterial infection. This enzyme consists of four protein chains (pink, orange, blue, green)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular model of a remarkable proteinase enzyme known as C3-degrading proteinase enzyme C016/1362. Derived from the TIGR4 strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae, this enzyme, named cppA after its regulating gene, plays a crucial role in degrading the C3 protein or complement component 3. The innate immune system heavily relies on complement proteins like C3 to combat bacterial infections effectively. However, individuals with a deficiency in C3 are more susceptible to such infections. This makes understanding and studying enzymes like cppA vital for advancing our knowledge in immunology and molecular biology. The image beautifully captures the intricate structure of this macromolecule consisting of four distinct protein chains colored in pink, orange, blue, and green against a pristine white background. The meticulous artwork highlights the complexity and elegance of biological structures at the molecular level. With its emphasis on biology and biochemistry, this print serves as an invaluable resource for researchers delving into proteomics and biochemical studies related to streptococcus pneumoniae. It offers insights into how these enzymes function within bacteria while also shedding light on potential therapeutic targets for combating bacterial infections. Provided by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this visually stunning illustration is not only scientifically informative but also aesthetically pleasing—an ideal addition to any scientific collection or educational setting focused on immunological research.
