Abstract excerpt
The development of synergistically pathogenic communities of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus gordonii is controlled by a tyrosine-phosphorylation-dependent signaling pathway in P. gingivalis. The Ptk1 bacterial tyrosine (BY) kinase of P. gingivalis is required for maximal community development and for the production of extracellular polysaccharide. We show that the consensus BY kinase Walker A and B...
