| Research Abstract |
A novel outer membrane protein Sov and a novel membrane protein PG27 were identified as essential factors for the secretion of gingipain protease virulence factors of Porphyromonas gingivalis. The C-terminal portion of Sov is exposed to the extracellular milieu and involved in the modulation of Sov function. These results suggest that gingipains are secreted via a novel protein secretion pathway, and that Sov and PG27 are promising targets for antiperiodontitis drug development.
