Abstract excerpt
Porphyromonas gingivalis , a bacterium associated with periodontal disease, is a suspected cause of Alzheimer’s disease. This bacterium is reliant on gingipain proteases, which cleave host proteins after arginine and lysine residues. To characterize gingipain susceptibility, we performed enrichment analyses of arginine and lysine proportion proteome-wide. Genes differentially expressed in brain samples with...
