Surfactant protein C (SP-C), is one of the pulmonary surfactant proteins. In humans this is encoded by the SFTPC gene.[5][6][7]

It is a membrane protein.

Transcription

Structure

SFTPC is a 197-residue protein made up of two halves: a unique N-terminal propeptide domain and a C-terminal BRICHOS domain. The around 100-aa long propeptide domain actually contains not only the cleaved part, but also the mature peptide. It can be further broken down into a 23-aa helical transmembrane propeptide proper, the mature secreted SP-C (24-58), and a linker (59-89) that connects to the BRICHOS domain.[8]

The propeptide of pulmonary surfactant C has an N-terminal alpha-helical segment whose suggested function was stabilization of the protein structure, since the mature peptide can irreversibly transform from its native alpha-helical structure to beta-sheet aggregates and form amyloid fibrils. The correct intracellular trafficking of proSP-C has also been reported to depend on the propeptide.[9]

The structure of the BRICHOS domain has been solved. Mutations in this domain also lead to amyloid fibrils made up of the mature peptide, suggesting a chaperone activity.[8]

Clinical significance

Mutations are associated with surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 2.

Humans and animals born lacking SP-C tend to develop progressive interstitial lung disease.

Recombinant SP-C is used in Venticute, an artificial lung surfactant.

A process to mass-produce an analogue called rSP-C33Le by fusion with spidroin has been described.[10]
