ABSTRACT
Protein-A (PA) is a cell-surface glycoprotein of S. aureus Cowan I with immunomodulatory and anti-tumor activities, and ability to ameliorate cyclophosphamide and carbontetrachloride (CCl4) induced toxicity in rodents. The likely mechanism of this effect appears to be the anti-oxidant property of PA, evidenced in the present study by inhibition of CCl4 and Fe2-ascorbate induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenates and inhibition of deaminative-oxidative degradation of L-glutamate into 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive products in a constituted chemical system. The anti-oxidant property of PA seem to arise from its molecular characteristics and the ability to interact with a superoxide derived free-radical species without any affinity for superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen species.
