This enzyme is a surface-associated subtilisin-like serine peptidase with very specific substrate specificity. Virulent strains of streptococci, including Streptococcus pyogenes, can evade human detection and phagocytosis by destroying the complement chemotaxin C5a. Cleavage of human C5a by this enzyme reduces the ability of C5a to bind receptors on the surface of polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMNLs) and thereby abolishes its chemotactic properties [1,4]. Belongs in peptidase family S8A.
The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
Substrates: Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis of cleaved HT-C5a indicate a loss of 830 Da, consistent with the removal of seven residues from the C-terminus Products: -
Substrates: cleavage site is His-Lys rather than Lys-Asp, native protein is resistant to cleavage, suggesting that His-Lys bond is inaccessible prior to proteolytic cleavage by C5 convertase Products: -
Substrates: mediates adherence to fibronectin, role in immune evasion by attenuating recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes to the site of infection Products: -

Substrates: group B Streptococci do not bind to fibronectin in solution, but bind to fibronectin adsorbed onto a solid surface through ScpB, that binds to a motif created by the juxtaposition of multiple fibronectin molecules Products: -

at the lowest fibronectin coverages the probability of observing a ScpB-Fn binding event increases linearly with fibronectin surface coverage. As a fibronectin monolayer is reached the probability of a ScpB-fibronectin binding event occurring increases markedly (ca. 50fold), with a concomitant increase in the rupture force from 17 pN to 33 pN

complement components C3 and C3a are substrates for peptidase C5a. Both are functionally inactivated as a result of cleavage 7 amino acids upstream of the natural C3 convertase. Cleavage of C3a by C5a results in disruption of human neutrophil activation, phagocytosis and chemotaxis, while cleavage of C3 generates abnormally-sized C3a and C3b moieties with impaired function, in particular reducing C3 deposition on the bacterial surface. Expression of C5a reduces clearance of group A streptococci in vivo in wild-type and C5 deficient mice, and promotes systemic bacterial dissemination in mice that lack both C3 and C5

SCP mutant, by hanging drop method, to 2 A resolution, SCPB composed of five distinct domains, N-terminal subtilisin-like protease domain with a 134-residue protease-associated domain inserted into a loop between two beta-strands, and with one of two Arg-Gly-Asp sequences found in SCPB, at the C-terminus are three fibronectin type III domains, second Arg-Gly-Asp sequence is located between fibronectin type III (1) and fibronectin type III (2)
crystal structure of an active form of ScpA is solved to 1.9 A resolution. The ScpA structure reveals that access to the catalytic site is restricted by variable regions in the catalytic domain and by the presence of the inserted protease-associated domain and the second fibronectin type III domains (Fn2). Modeling of the ScpA-C5a complex indicates that the substrate binds with carboxyl-terminal residues (65-74) extended through the active site and core residues (1-64) forming exosite-type interactions with the Fn2 domain. Substrate binding is anticipated to be dominated by ionic interactions in two distinct regions of ScpA. On the prime side of the active site, salt bridges are predicted between P1', P2', and P7' residues, and residues in the catalytic and PA domains. Remote to the active site, a larger number of ionic interactions between residues in the C5a core and the Fn2 domain are observed in the model. Thus, both PA and Fn2 domains are expected to play significant roles in substrate recognition
analysis of M-like protein (simA) and C5a peptidase, two gene homologues of Streptococcus iniae, through allelic replacement reveals that M-like protein plays a significant role in Streptococcus iniae virulence and C5a peptidase does not
mutant ScpBdelta, a common natural variant of ScpB, contains a 4-amino-acid deletion that eliminates peptidase activity. High affinity for fibronectin is maintained in ScpBdelta. ScpB and scpBdelta can complement the fibronectin-binding defect of the deletion mutant strain TOH97, that does not express scpB. Thus, the delta12 allele has no effect on the fibronectin binding of recombinant ScpB, recombinant ScpB-phage display fragment, or ScpB expressed by group B streptococci. High-affinity interaction between ScpB and immobilized fibronectin is responsible for the maintenance of the scpB gene in strains lacking C5a peptidase activity

increased anti-SCPA IgG levels in rheumatic fever, rheumatic heart disease and acute glomerulo nephritis cases. The rise of anti-SCPA IgG observed in patients is irrespective of different emm types of group A streptococci strains isolated from these patients. Indian females show higher concentration of anti-SCPA antibodies than male patients. Anti-SCPA IgG1 and anti-SCPA IgG3 are the predominant subclasses of anti-SCPA antibody and clearly distinguish individuals with acute rheumatic fever from those free of streptococcal disease
