摘要

Many group B Streptococcus agalactiae strains and other pathogenic streptococci express a cell-associated peptidase that inactivates C5a (C5a-ase), the major neutrophil chemoattractant produced by activation of the complement cascade. Type III group B streptococci (GBS) can be classified genotypically into three restriction digest pattern types. Functional C5a-ase activity of GBS correlates with this genetic typing; therefore, we sought to identify a genetic basis for this phenomenon. Southern hybridization confirms that all type III GBS contain scpB, the gene encoding GBS C5a-ase. GBS strains with high C5a-ase functional activity and those with no or very low activity both express immunoreactive C5a-ase. ThescpB sequence of strain I30, which has high C5a-ase activity, is 98.2% homologous to the previously reported serotype II GBS scpB sequence. The scpB sequences of strains I25 and GW, which have low or no C5a-ase activity, are identical. The predicted I25 and GW C5a-ase proteins share a four-amino-acid deletion affecting the protease histidine active-site consensus motif. Recombinant I30 C5a-ase has good functional activity, whereas recombinant I25 C5a-ase has low activity. These data demonstrate that functional C5a-ase differences between type III GBS strains are attributable to a genetic polymorphism of scpB. The ubiquitous expression of C5a-ase, irrespective of functional activity, suggests that C5a-ase may have a second, as yet unidentified, function.
