Streptococcus anginosusis frequently detected in patients with infective endocarditis, abscesses or oral cancer. AlthoughS. anginosusis considered the causative pathogen of these diseases, the pathogenic mechanisms of the bacterium have remained unclear. Previously, we suggested that an extracellular antigen fromS. anginosus(SAA) serves as a pathogenic factor by inducing nitric oxide production in murine macrophages. In the present study, we identified SAA using LC–MS/MS and assessed the biological activities of His-tagged recombinant SAA in murine macrophages. SAA was identified as a tyrosine tRNA synthetase (SaTyrRS) that was isolated from the extracellular fraction ofS. anginosusbut not from other oral streptococci. In addition, inducible nitric oxide synthase and TNF-α mRNA expression was induced in recombinant SaTyrRS-stimulated murine macrophages. However, their mRNA expression was not induced in macrophages stimulated with truncated or heat-inactivated recombinant SaTyrRS, and the activation motif was identified as Arg264–Thr270. Consequently, these results indicated that SaTyrRS could be a novel and specific immunomodulatory protein inS. anginosus.
