Abstract：
:Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1), the potent staphylococcal exoprotein linked to most cases of the toxic shock syndrome, is a V beta-restricted T-cell mitogen (a so-called "superantigen"). TSST-ovine (TSST-O) is a natural variant of TSST-1, and is produced by certain ovine mastitis-associated strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Compared to TSST-1, TSST-O is only weakly mitogenic for leporine or murine splenocytes. It differs from TSST-1 at 7 amino acid residues over its 194 amino acid length. Terminus shuffling between the two proteins has suggested that their C-terminal differences (T69, Y80, E132, and I140 in TSST-1; 169, W80, K132, and T140 in TSST-O) are in part responsible for their discrepant mitogenic properties. In order to explore further the functional consequences of altering TSST-1 at residues 132 and 140, we engineered point mutants of TSST-1 at those positions. The mutant proteins were purified to homogeneity from culture supernants of a nontoxigenic strain of S. aureus using a combination of ultrafiltration, liquid-phase isoelectric focusing, and ion-exchange chromatography. The mutants retained global structural integrity as evidenced by circular dichroism spectroscopy, their preserved resistance to trypsin digestion, and their preserved binding to a neutralizing murine monoclonal antibody. The mutants were then tested for mitogenicity for human T-cells: The mutant I140T was approximately as active as wild-type TSST-1, while the mutant E132D was about 10-fold attenuated. On the other hand, the mutants E132A or E132K were each at least 1000-fold attenuated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
