physiological function | Staphylococcus aureus metalloprotease aureolysin cleaves complement C3 to mediate immune evasion and is a potent complement inhibitor dependent on its proteolytic activity. Aureolysin effectively inhibits phagocytosis and killing of bacteria by neutrophils in the human host, e.g. in U937 cells, aureolysin inhibits C3b deposition and C5a generation, overview. Aureolysin is essential and sufficient for C3 cleavage by bacterial supernatant, but acts in synergy with host regulators to inactivate C3 thereby effectively dampening the host immune response. Aureolysin acts as a C3 convertase | Staphylococcus aureus |
