Por Secretion System-Dependent Secretion and Glycosylation of Porphyromonas gingivalis Hemin-Binding Protein 35
The anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major pathogen in severe forms of periodontal disease and refractory periapical perodontitis. We have recently found that P. gingivalis has a novel secretion system named the Por secretion system (PorSS), which is responsible for secretion of major extracellular proteinases, Arg-gingipains (Rgps) and Lys-gingipain. These protei...
متن کاملPor Secretion System of Porphyromonas gingivalis
The virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria are major secretory proteins that are directly linked to their pathogenicity. These secretory proteins are translocated across the membranes of bacterial cells by translocase nanomachines, which consists of integral membrane proteins. The periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis, secretes trypsin-like proteases(gingipains)either as a large comp...
متن کاملContact-dependent protein secretion in Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Porphyromonas gingivalis can induce its uptake by host epithelial cells; however, the nature and role of the P. gingivalis molecules involved in this invasion process have yet to be determined. In this study, modulation of secreted P. gingivalis proteins following association with gingival epithelial cells was investigated. Western immunoblot analysis showed that contact with epithelial cells o...
متن کاملPorphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae dampen P2X7-dependent interleukin-1β secretion.
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major contributor to the pathogenesis of periodontitis, an infection-driven inflammatory disease that leads to bone destruction. This pathogen stimulates pro-interleukin (IL)-1β synthesis but not mature IL-1β secretion, unless the P2X7 receptor is activated by extracellular ATP (eATP). Here, we investigated the role of P. gingivalis fimbriae in eATP-induced IL-1β r...
متن کاملBinding and accumulation of hemin in Porphyromonas gingivalis are induced by hemin.
Although hemin is an essential nutrient for the black-pigmented oral bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis, the mechanisms involved in hemin binding and uptake are poorly defined. In this study, we have examined the binding of hemin and Congo red (CR) to P. gingivalis whole cells and have defined the conditions for maximal binding. Additionally, the accumulation of hemin by P. gingivalis under gro...
