The clinical features of this syndrome vary from localized blisters to severe exfoliation affecting most of the body surface. Comparison of the crystal structures of two subtypes of ETs\u2010rETA (at 2.0 \u00c5 resolution), rETB (at 2.8 \u00c5 resolution), and an active site variant of rETA, Ser195Ala at 2.0 \u00c5 resolution has demonstrated that their overall topology resembles that of a \u201ctrypsin\u2010like\u201d serine protease, but with significant differences at the N\u2010 and C\u2010termini and loop regions. The details of the catalytic site in both ET structures are very similar to those in glutamate\u2010specific serine proteases, suggesting a common catalytic mechanism. However, the \u201coxyanion hole,\u201d which is part of the catalytic sites of glutamate specific serine proteases, is in the closed or inactive conformation for rETA, yet in the open or active conformation for rETB. The ETs contain a unique amphipathic helix at the N\u2010terminus, and it appears to be involved in optimizing the conformation of the catalytic site residues. Determination of the structure of the rETA catalytic site variant, Ser195Ala, showed no significant perturbation at the active site, establishing that the loss of biological and esterolytic activity can be attributed solely to disruption of the catalytic serine residue. Finally, the crystal structure of ETs, together with biochemical data and mutagenesis studies, strongly confirms the classification of these molecules as \u201cserine proteases\u201d rather than \u201csuperantigens.\u201d<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1110\/ps.9.3.610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,1]],"date-time":"2010-10-01T13:48:14Z","timestamp":1285940894000},"page":"610-618","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Structural similarities and differences in <i>staphylococcus aureus<\/i> exfoliative toxins A and B as revealed by their crystal structures"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Anastassios C.","family":"Papageorgiou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.
