Localization and pathogenic role of the cysteine protease dentipain in Treponema denticola
15 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
The Msp protein complex and the serine protease dentilisin are the best-characterized virulence factors in Treponema denticola, the major etiological agent of chronic periodontitis. In addition to these outer sheath factors, the cysteine protease dentipain contributes to pathogenicity, but its secretion, processing, cellular localization, and role in T. denticola virulence are not fully understood. In this study,...
