Comments
  • FUNCTION: Preferentially cleaves peptide bonds on the carboxyl-terminal side of aspartate and glutamate. Along with other extracellular proteases it is involved in colonization and infection of human tissues. Required for proteolytic maturation of thiol protease sspB and inactivation of sspC, an inhibitor of sspB. It is the most important protease for degradation of fibronectin-binding protein (FnBP) and surface protein A, which are involved in adherence to host cells. May also protect bacteria against host defense mechanism by cleaving the immunoglobulin classes IgG, IgA and IgM. May be involved in the stability of secreted lipases (By similarity).
  • CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Preferential cleavage: Glu-|-Xaa, Asp-|-Xaa.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted (By similarity).
  • PTM: Proteolytically cleaved by aureolysin (aur). This cleavage leads to the activation of sspA (By similarity).
  • MISCELLANEOUS: The cascade of activation of extracellular proteases proceeds from the metalloprotease aureolysin (aur), through sspA to sspB (By similarity).
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase S1B family [view classification].
