Peptidase activity of dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV produced by Porphyromonas gingivalis is important but not sufficient for virulence.

Microbiology and immunology - 1 Jan 2003

Kumagai Yumi, Yajima Ayako, Konishi Kiyoshi

Abstract excerpt

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a pathogen associated with adult periodontitis, which is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by breakdown of the periodontal tissue. Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV (DPPIV) produced by P. gingivalis has been considered to be a potential virulence factor based on the finding that the virulence was reduced by disruption of the gene (dpp ) coding for DPPIV. In the present study, we...
