Streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin type A (scarlet fever toxin) is related to Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B

L P Johnson et al. Mol Gen Genet. 1986 May.

Abstract

The nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding group A streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin type A (SPE A) was determined by the dideoxy chain termination method. The first 30 residues of the translation product represented a hydrophobic signal peptide. The mature protein was 220 amino acids in length and had a molecular weight of 25,805. It has significant protein sequence homology with Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B but not with other proteins in the Dayhoff library.
