Glycoprotein C of herpes simplex virus 1 is an inhibitor of the complement cascade

LF Fries, HM Friedman, GH Cohen, RJ Eisenberg, CH Hammer and MM Frank

Mammalian cells in culture express membrane receptors for C3b when infected with HSV-1. C3b binding is mediated by glycoprotein C (gC), a virus-specified membrane glycoprotein. In view of the inhibitory functions of other C3b-binding proteins, we studied the capacity of gC to modulate complement activation. Glycoprotein C was purified from HSV- 1-infected cells by immunoaffinity chromatography. Glycoprotein C, but not a control viral glycoprotein, demonstrated dose-dependent acceleration of decay of C3bBb sites. In addition, gC produced a dose- dependent, time-independent depression of the overall hemolytic efficiency of C3bBb sites. Inhibition of C5b6-initiated reactive lysis of cells bearing C3b, but not cells bearing antibody alone, by gC suggests that the second effect represents interference with the C3b- C5/5b interaction. This hypothesis is supported by the failure of gC to inhibit reactive lysis when added after C5b67 insertion into target cells. Glycoprotein C does not accelerate C14b2a decay, nor does it impair classical pathway hemolytic efficiency when excess C5 is present. By limiting available C5/5b, some gC inhibition of C3b-C5/5b interactions can be unmasked in the classical pathway system. Glycoprotein C is devoid of factor I co-factor activity. HSV-1 gC is a modulator of complement activation, especially via the alternative pathway, and may represent a novel viral mechanism for evading host defense processes.
