Two plasminogen binding proteins were identified from a mouse infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae. The pneumococcal proteins were annotated as ATP-dependent Clp protease ATP-binding subunit (ClpC) and excinuclease ABC subunit C (UvrC) using the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) method. Recombinants of both proteins showed significant binding to plasminogen and were found to promote plasminogen activation by tissue-type plasminogen activator. In addition, ClpC and UvrC were LytA-dependently released into the culture supernatant and bound to the bacterial surface. These results suggest that S. pneumoniae releases ClpC and UvrC by autolysis and recruits them to the bacterial surface, where they bind to plasminogen and promote its activation, contributing to extracellular matrix degradation and tissue invasion.
