Function | Plays a role in the inhibition of the host innate and adaptive immune responses. Possesses five immunoglobulin-binding domains that capture both the fragment crystallizable region (Fc region) and the Fab region (part of Ig that identifies antigen) of immunoglobulins (PubMed:2938951, PubMed:4163007, PubMed:10805799). In turn, Staphylococcus aureus is protected from phagocytic killing via inhibition of Ig Fc region. In addition, the host elicited B-cell response is prevented due to a decrease of antibody-secreting cell proliferation that enter the bone marrow, thereby decreasing long-term antibody production. Inhibits osteogenesis by preventing osteoblast proliferation and expression of alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen, osteopontin and osteocalcin. Acts directly as a pro-inflammatory factor in the lung through its ability to bind and activate tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor 1/TNFRSF1A (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Secreted, cell wall; Peptidoglycan-anchor; Extracellular side. Secreted. Note=Cell wall anchoring is conferred by the LPXTG motif and following sequences (PubMed:1638631). Anchored by sortase A (PubMed:10427003). SpA from strains A676 and V-I is secreted whereas SpA from Cowan 1 and 8325-4 is mostly attached to the cell wall (Probable). Newly synthesized protein is deposited at 2-4 foci/cell and eventually is distributed in a ring around the cell (PubMed:17416657). |

Background
Protein A binds to the constant region of many species of immunoglobulin G. Protein A can be used to detect, quantify and purify IgG antibodies and antibody/antigen complexes. Protein A binds to all IgG subclasses from human and mouse species.
