VimA is part of the maturation pathway for the major gingipains of Porphyromonas gingivalis W83.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Nov 2006

Vanterpool E, Roy F, Zhan W, Sheets S M, Sangberg L, Fletcher H M

Abstract excerpt

The authors have shown previously that the vimA gene, which is part of the bcp-recA-vimA operon, plays an important role in protease activation in Porphyromonas gingivalis. The gingipain RgpB proenzyme is secreted in the vimA-defective mutant P. gingivalis FLL92. An important question that is rai...
