CC   -!- FUNCTION: Cysteine protease that plays an important role in the
CC       inhibition of host innate immune response. Cleaves host elastins found
CC       in connective tissues, pulmonary surfactant protein A in the lungs, and
CC       the chemokine receptor CXCR2 on leukocytes. Proteolytic cleavage of
CC       surfactant protein A impairs bacterial phagocytosis by neutrophils
CC       while CXCR2 degradation blocks neutrophil activation and chemotaxis.
CC       Additionally, promotes vascular leakage by activating the plasma
CC       kallikerin/kinin system, resulting in hypotension.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P81297}.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=Broad endopeptidase action on proteins including elastin, but
CC         rather limited hydrolysis of small-molecule substrates. Assays are
CC         conveniently made with hemoglobin, casein or Z-Phe-Arg-NHMec as
CC         substrate.; EC=3.4.22.48;
CC   -!- ACTIVITY REGULATION: Prematurely activated/folded staphopain A is
CC       inhibited by staphostatin A (ScpB), which is probably required to
CC       protect staphylococcal cytoplasmic proteins from degradation by ScpA.
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: In the cytoplasm, prematurely activated/folded ScpA forms a
CC       stable non-covalent complex with ScpB. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P81297}.
CC   -!- PTM: Cleavage leads to the activation of ScpA probably by an auto-
CC       catalytic manner. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: The catalytic maturation of ScpA appears to reside
CC       outside the cascade of activation started by the metalloprotease
CC       aureolysin (aur). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase C47 family. {ECO:0000305}.
