Structure–activity studies of Streptococcus pyogenes enzyme SpyCEP reveal high affinity for CXCL8 in the SpyCEP C-terminal

Abstract The Streptococcus pyogenes cell envelope protease (SpyCEP) is vital to streptococcal pathogenesis and disease progression. Despite its strong association with invasive disease, little is known about enzymatic function beyond the ELR+ CXC chemokine substrate range. As a serine protease, SpyC...
