Altered gingipain maturation in vimA- and vimE-defective isogenic mutants of Porphyromonas gingivalis.

Infection and immunity - 1 Mar 2005

Vanterpool Elaine, Roy Francis, Sandberg Lawrence, Fletcher Hansel M

Abstract excerpt

We have previously shown that gingipain activity in Porphyromonas gingivalis is modulated by the unique vimA and vimE genes. To determine if these genes had a similar phenotypic effect on protease maturation and activation, isogenic mutants defective in those genes were further characterized. Western blot analyses with antigingipain antibodies showed RgpA-, RgpB-, and Kgp-immunoreactive bands in membrane...
