FunctionETXB_STAAU Staphylococcal enterotoxins cause the intoxication staphylococcal food poisoning syndrome. The illness characterized by high fever, hypotension, diarrhea, shock, and in some cases death. Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe three-dimensional structure of staphylococcal enterotoxin C2 has been determined at 2.7 A resolution by x-ray diffraction, while the structures of enterotoxins A and E have been modelled based on their sequence homology to other staphylococcal enterotoxins. The T-cell receptor-binding sites of staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) B and SEC2 are compared and the stereochemical interactions likely to be responsible for their differing V beta specificities are identified. A similar comparison is made between SEA and SEE. Residues defining V beta specificity in staphylococcal enterotoxins.,Swaminathan S, Furey W, Pletcher J, Sax M Nat Struct Biol. 1995 Aug;2(8):680-6.
