Apoptotic cell clearance is critical for maintenance of tissue homeostasis and to control the immune responses mediated by phagocytes. Little is known about the molecules that contribute “ eat-me “signals on the apoptotic cell surface. C1q, the recognition subunit of the C1 complex of complement, also senses altered structure from self and is a major actor of immune tolerance. The purpose of this work was to identify signals newly exposed during apoptosis, responsible for C1q binding. First, using surface plasmon resonance, C1q binding was shown to occur at early stages of apoptosis and to involve recognition of cell membrane component. Second, the use of different approaches (cell biology, biochemistry, structural biology), allowed to iden...
