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.

Activity summary

Glutamyl endopeptidase also known as GluV8 or GluSE is a serine protease enzyme that is known for its specific cleavage at glutamic acid residues. It has a molecular mass of approximately 27 kDa and is mostly expressed by Staphylococcus aureus. This expression allows the bacteria to modulate host cell functions and defend against host immune responses. The unique ability of glutamyl endopeptidase to target specific peptide bonds distinguishes it from other proteases.

Biological function summary

Glutamyl endopeptidase plays a critical role in bacterial pathogenicity. This enzyme does not form part of a larger protein complex but acts independently to degrade host proteins affecting the host cell's integrity. By breaking down structural and immune proteins glutamyl endopeptidase compromises host tissues facilitating bacterial invasion and survival within the host organism. This activity positions it as an important factor in disrupting normal host cellular processes.

Pathways

Glutamyl endopeptidase is integral to the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus. It participates in the intracellular survival pathway by dismantling host proteins important for immune defense. Additionally its activity influences the cytokine signaling pathway due to its ability to cleave key cytokines and immune regulators. In these pathways it often works alongside other virulence factors like staphopain A collectively promoting bacterial survival and propagation within the host.

Associated diseases and disorders

Researchers link glutamyl endopeptidase to the development and progression of infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus such as skin abscesses and pneumonia. The enzyme's proteolytic activity contributes to tissue damage and immune evasion making these infections particularly difficult to manage. Glutamyl endopeptidase interacts with host proteins like chemokines influencing inflammatory responses and disease outcome. Understanding its role offers potential therapeutic targets for controlling severe bacterial infections.
