Bacterial superantigens (SAgs) cause V?-dependent T-cell proliferation leading to
immune dysregulation associated with the pathogenesis of life-threatening
infections such as toxic shock syndrome, and necrotizing pneumonia. Previously,
we demonstrated that staphylococcal enterotoxin-like toxin X (SElX) from
Staphylococcus aureus is a classical superantigen that exhibits T-cell activation
in a V?-specific manner, and contributes to the pathogenesis of necrotizing
pneumonia. Here, we discovered that SElX can also bind to neutrophils from human
and other mammalian species and disrupt IgG-mediated phagocytosis. Site-directed
mutagenesis of the conserved sialic acid-binding motif of SElX abolished
neutrophil binding and phagocytic killing, and revealed multiple glycosylated
neutrophil receptors for SElX binding. Furthermore, the neutrophil
binding-deficient mutant of SElX retained its capacity for T-cell activation
demonstrating that SElX exhibits mechanistically independent activities on
distinct cell populations associated with acquired and innate immunity,
respectively. Finally, we demonstrated that the neutrophil-binding activity
rather than superantigenicity is responsible for the SElX-dependent virulence
observed in a necrotizing pneumonia rabbit model of infection. Taken together, we
report the first example of a SAg, that can manipulate both the innate and
adaptive arms of the human immune system during S. aureus pathogenesis.
