STAPHYLOCOCCAL ENTEROTOXIN A MUTANT VACCINE
Overview
Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are superantigenic protein toxins, responsible for a number of life-threatening diseases. The X-ray structure, of a staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) triple-mutant (L48R, D70R, and, Y92A) vaccine reveals a cascade of structural rearrangements located in, three loop regions essential for binding the alpha subunit of major, histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) molecules. A comparison of, hypothetical model complexes between SEA and the SEA triple mutant with, MHC-II HLA-DR1 clearly shows disruption of key ionic and hydrophobic, interactions necessary for forming the complex. Extensive dislocation of, the disulfide loop in particular interferes with MHC-IIalpha binding. The, triple-mutant structure provides new insights into the loss of, superantigenicity and toxicity of an engineered superantigen and provides, a basis for further design of enterotoxin vaccines.
