Structural and functional insights into oligopeptide acquisition by the RagAB transporter from Porphyromonas gingivalis
11 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Porphyromonas gingivalis, an asaccharolytic member of the Bacteroidetes, is a keystone pathogen in human periodontitis that may also contribute to the development of other chronic inflammatory diseases. P. gingivalis utilizes protease-generated peptides derived from extracellular proteins for growth, but how these peptides enter the cell is not clear. Here, we identify RagAB as the outer-membrane importer for...
