A recent study with isogenic strains constructed by recombinant DNA strategies unambiguously documented that a highly conserved extracellular cysteine protease expressed by Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus [GAS]) is a critical virulence factor in a mouse model of invasive disease (S.
TRAPS is the most common of the autosomal dominant periodic fever syndromes. It is caused by mutations in the TNFRSF1A gene, which encodes for the type 1 TNF-receptor (TNFR1). We describe here a Brazilian patient with TRAPS associated to a novel TNFRSF1A de novo mutation and the response to anti-TNF
IdeS, a recently discovered cysteine proteinase secreted by the important human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, interferes with phagocytic killing by specifically cleaving the heavy chain of immunoglobulin G. The fact that the enzyme targets one of the key molecules of the adapted immune response
