Complement component C6 is known to contain two factor I modules in tandem at its C-terminus. To localize the disulfide bridges in those domains, native C6 was cleaved with trypsin, followed by subtilisin. The resulting digests were separated by reversed-phase HPLC, and all of the potential cystine-containing fragments were detected by a fluorescence assay and amino acid composition analyses. Final identification of the disulfide bonds was achieved by Edman degradation of the corresponding peptides. From the data gained a 1-3, 2-9, 4-7, 5-10, 6-8 pattern was determined (Cys752-Cys802, Cys763-Cys780, Cys765-Cys816, Cys772-Cys795, Cys841-Cys852, Cys846-Cys898, Cys859-Cys876, Cys861-Cys911, Cys867-Cys891). These findings are compared with the strongly related complement components C7 and factor I.
