Molecular mechanism for the spontaneous generation of pigmentless Porphyromonas gingivalis mutants.

Infection and immunity - 1 Sept 1999

Chen W, Kuramitsu H K

Abstract excerpt

Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the pathogens associated with periodontal diseases, and its protease activity has been implicated as an important virulence factor. Kgp is the major Lys-gingipain protease of P. gingivalis and appears to be involved not only in enzyme activity but also in hemagglutination and the pigmented phenotype due to heme accumulation and/or hemoglobin binding. However, little information...
