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.

General info
Function
A cholesterol-dependent toxin that causes cytolysis by forming pores in cholesterol containing host membranes. After binding to target membranes, the protein undergoes a major conformation change, leading to its insertion in the host membrane and formation of an oligomeric pore complex. Cholesterol is required for binding to host membranes, membrane insertion and pore formation; cholesterol binding is mediated by a Thr-Leu pair in the C-terminus. Can be reversibly inactivated by oxidation.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin family.
