srtA

Gene
srtA
Protein
Sortase A
Organism
Listeria monocytogenes serovar 1/2a (strain ATCC BAA-679 / EGD-e)
Length
222 amino acids
Function
Transpeptidase that anchors surface proteins to the cell wall (PubMed:11854224, PubMed:11929538, PubMed:16247833, PubMed:22837151). Recognizes and modifies its substrate by proteolytic cleavage of a C-terminal sorting signal. Following cleavage, a covalent intermediate is formed via a thioester bond between the sortase and its substrate, which is then transferred and covalently attached to the cell wall (Probable). This sortase recognizes a Leu-Pro-x-Thr-Gly (LPXTG) motif, which is cleaved by the sortase between the threonine and glycine residues (PubMed:11929538). Involved in pathogenesis (PubMed:11854224, PubMed:11929538, PubMed:15028680). May regulate the rate of synthesis and/or the stability of a subset of LPXTG proteins (PubMed:22837151). Not involved in cell wall-anchoring of Hbp2 (SvpA) or Hbp1 (PubMed:15028680, PubMed:16247833).
Similarity
Belongs to the bacterial sortase family. Class A subfamily.

Function
Transpeptidase that anchors surface proteins to the cell wall (PubMed:15968076). Recognizes and modifies its substrate by proteolytic cleavage of a C-terminal sorting signal. Following cleavage, a covalent intermediate is formed via a thioester bond between the sortase and its substrate, which is then transferred and covalently attached to the cell wall (PubMed:15968076). This sortase recognizes a Leu-Pro-x-Thr-Gly (LPXTG) motif, which is cleaved by the sortase between the threonine and glycine residues (PubMed:15968076). Important for growth in macrophages. May be critical in the early stages of inhalation anthrax (PubMed:16041044).

Function
Transpeptidase that anchors surface proteins to the cell wall (PubMed:10427003, PubMed:10446208, PubMed:10535938, PubMed:11714722, PubMed:14769030, PubMed:15247224). Recognizes and modifies its substrate by proteolytic cleavage of a C-terminal sorting signal. Following cleavage, a covalent intermediate is formed via a thioester bond between the sortase and its substrate, which is then transferred and covalently attached to the cell wall (PubMed:10446208, PubMed:10535938, PubMed:11714722, PubMed:14769030, PubMed:15247224). This sortase recognizes a Leu-Pro-x-Thr-Gly (LPXTG) motif, which is cleaved by the sortase between the threonine and glycine residues (PubMed:10535938, PubMed:11714722, PubMed:14769030, PubMed:15247224). Utilizes lipid II as the peptidoglycan substrate for the sorting reaction (PubMed:10446208, PubMed:11856734). Responsible for the display of important virulence factors (PubMed:14769030). Important for interactions with the host and host colonization during infection (PubMed:10805806, PubMed:14769030).
