| Organism Additional Information | Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium responsible for causing adult periodontal disease, a chronic inflammatory condition of the periodontal tissues. It is the source of a number of virulence factors that are thought to be important for deregulation of innate and inflammatory systems in the host. |
| Protein Information | |
| Protein Name | mtRgpA |
| Subcellular Location | Extracellular |
| Function | Cysteine proteases cause the degradation of several physiologically important proteins, including collagens, fibrin and fibrinogen and fibronectin. They also account for deregulatory effects on several host systems and are therefore considered important virulence determinants. The adhesin domains of Arg-gingipains mediate the adherence of P. gingivalis to epithelial cells. |
| Glycosylation Status | |
| Technique(s) used for Glycosylation Detection | Biotin hydrazide labelling following periodate oxidation, chemical deglycosylation with TFMS and subsequent abolishment of immunoreactivity wth MAb 1B5 and MAb 7B4 after deglycosylation. |
