Staphopain A (EC 3.4.22.48, ScpA, ScpAaur, staphylopain A, staphylococcal cysteine proteinase) is a secreted cysteine protease produced by Staphylococcus aureus. It was first identified in the S. aureus V8 strain as a papain-like cysteine protease. The protease distinguishes itself from the other major proteases of S. aureus in its very broad specificity and its ability to degrade elastin.[1][2]

Genetics

Staphopain A expressed from the gene scpA within the scp operon. The operon also contains the gene scpB for staphostatin A (specific inhibitor of staphopain A), downstream of scpA.[3][4]

Staphopain A is largely co-expressed with the other three major proteases of S. aureusaureolysin, glutamyl endopeptidase, and staphopain B. The transcription of scp occurs via a promoter controlled by "housekeepingsigma factor σA and up-regulated by accessory gene regulator agr. It is at also repressed by staphylococcal accessory regulator sarA and by alternative sigma factor σB (a stress response modulator of Gram-positive bacteria). ssp expression is highly expressed in post-exponential growth phase.[4] A more complex network of modulators and of environmental conditions affecting ssp expression have been suggested, however. Up-regulation of aureolysin during phagocytosis have also been observed.[5][6]

The scpA gene has a high prevalence in the genome of both commensal- and pathogenic-type S. aureus strains.[7]
