Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen that produces many virulence
factors. Two major families of which are the staphylococcal superantigens (SAgs)
and the Staphylococcal Superantigen-Like (SSL) exoproteins. The former are
immunomodulatory toxins that induce a V?-specific activation of T cells, while
the latter are immune evasion molecules that interfere with a wide range of
innate immune defences. The superantigenic properties of Staphylococcal
enterotoxin-like X (SElX) have recently been established. We now reveal that SElX
also possesses functional characteristics of the SSLs. A region of SElX displays
high homology to the sialyl-lactosamine (sLacNac)-specific binding site present
in a sub-family of SSLs. By analysing the interaction of SElX with
sLacNac-containing glycans we show that SElX has an equivalent specificity and
host cell binding range to the SSLs. Mutation of key amino acids in this
conserved region affects the ability of SElX to bind to cells of myeloid origin
and significantly reduces its ability to protect S. aureus from destruction in a
whole blood killing (WBK) assay. Like the SSLs, SElX is up-regulated early during
infection and is under the control of the S. aureus exotoxin expression (Sae) two
component gene regulatory system. Additionally, the structure of SElX in complex
with the sLacNac-containing tetrasaccharide sialyl Lewis X (sLeX) reveals that
SElX is a unique single-domain SAg. In summary, SElX is an 'SSL-like' SAg.
