Role of Mfa5 in Expression of Mfa1 Fimbriae in Porphyromonas gingivalis.

Journal of dental research - 1 Oct 2016

Abstract excerpt

Fimbriae are protein-based filamentous appendages that protrude from the bacterial cell surface and facilitate host adhesion. Two types of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1, of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis are responsible for adherence to other bacteria and to host cells in the oral cavity. Both fimbrial forms are composed of 5 proteins, but there is limited information about their polymerization...
