Western blot - Anti-Streptolysin O (Hemolytic streptococcus) antibody (AB188539)

Most of Streptolysin O in culture medium of GAS strain Sa is proteolytically degraded, accounting for low activity level of Streptolysin O in the culture of this strain. Condensed sample is analyzed in the second Western Blot.

The two faint bands below Streptolysin O band are partially degraded Streptolysin O.

Western blot - Anti-Streptolysin O (Hemolytic streptococcus) antibody (AB188539)

Culture supernatant was approximately 1,000~2,000 fold concentrated from culture medium by ammonium fractionation and heat-precipitation.

The Streptolysin O of GSA strains is degraded by an exoprotease called streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B and both the concentration and size of Streptolysin O in culture medium is decreased from the native one.

Supplementary information

Streptolysin O also known as Hemolytic streptococcus or SLO is a cytolytic toxin produced by some strains of group A Streptococcus. It forms pores in host cell membranes leading to cell lysis. Streptolysin O has a molecular mass of approximately 69 kDa. This protein expresses predominantly in the bacterial cell environment during infections. It is an oxygen-labile toxin which means it is inactivated by oxygen. The immune system of the host generates antibodies called anti-streptolysin O or anti-SLO to neutralize its effects.
Biological function summary

Streptolysin O disrupts cellular membranes by binding to cholesterol which results in host cell damage and death. It is not part of a multi-protein complex but interacts directly with host cell membranes. During infection this interaction causes significant damage to tissues and allows the bacteria to invade and spread rapidly. Streptolysin O contributes significantly to the pathogenicity of Streptococcus pyogenes making the bacteria highly virulent.

Pathways

Streptolysin O influences host immune response and contributes to inflammation. During infection it activates the NF-kB signaling pathway which plays a role in immune responses and inflammation. This toxin also interacts with other proteins such as leukotoxins to enhance the virulence of the bacterial infection. The pathway activation can lead to increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines which are part of the body's defense mechanism.

Streptolysin O is implicated in diseases like strep throat and rheumatic fever. The immune response to Streptolysin O leads to the production of anti-streptolysin O antibodies which are often measured to diagnose recent streptococcal infections. Additionally the dysregulation caused by Streptolysin O in host pathways can contribute to post-infectious complications like acute glomerulonephritis with connections to other streptococcal surface proteins such as M protein which also play roles in host-pathogen interactions.
