Molecular genetics of Porphyromonas gingivalis: gingipains and other virulence factors.

Current protein & peptide science - 1 Dec 2003

Nakayama K

Abstract excerpt

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a black-pigmented anaerobic gram-negative bacterium that is a major pathogen of chronic adult periodontitis, an inflammatory disease of tooth-supporting tissues. P. gingivalis possesses a number of potential virulence factors. Among them, cell-surface-associated and secreted proteinases such as Arg-gingipain and Lys-gingipain have received much attention because they can degrade...
