| Type: | Conserved_site | Name: | Staphylococcal enterotoxin/Streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin, conserved site |
| Description: | Staphylococcal enterotoxins and streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins constitute a family of biologically and structurally related toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureusand Streptococcus pyogenes[, ]. These toxins share the ability to bind to the major histocompatibility complex proteins of their hosts. A more distant relative of the family is the S. aureus toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST-1), which shares only a low level of sequence similarity with this group.This family is identified by a well conserved region of enterotoxins and pyrogenic exotoxins, but which does not pick up TSST-1. | Short Name: | Staph/Strept_toxin_CS |
