This bacterium is also commonly found in the respiratory tract of many mammals and can cause serious diseases resulting in the rapid death of infected animals, especially cattle. To prevent these infections in cattle, a subunit-based vaccine utilizing the surface lipoprotein PmSLP was developed and showed remarkable protection with a single dose administration. Here, we report that PmSLP binds host complement factor I (FI) and facilitates cleavage of complement components C3b and C4b independently of any cofactors (e.g., FH, C4BP), thereby allowing the pathogen to evade host defence. Cryo-EM structure of PmSLP bound to FI reveals that PmSLP stimulates FI enzymatic activity by stabilizing the catalytic domain. This is the first time that a bacterial protein has been shown to directly activate FI independent of complement cofactors and target all arms of the complement cascade. |
