title: Protein characterizations and immunological properties of the low-molecular-mass protein A isolated from Staphylococcus aureus KS 1034.
abstract: The extracellular low-molecular-mass protein A isolated from Staphylococcus aureus KS 1034 was analyzed for its amino acid contents and terminal amino acid sequences. The C-terminal and the N-terminal amino acid sequences of the low-molecular-mass protein A were -Asn-Ala-Phe and Ala-Gln-His-Asp-Glu-Ala-Gln-, respectively. For immunochemical properties, the low-molecular-mass protein A was similar to protein A isolated from S. aureus Cowan I. Extracellular protease activity of KS 1034 strain was considerably lower than S. aureus C-30 isolated from chicken that produced the extracellular low-molecular-mass protein A.
