| Research Abstract |
A membrane-bound enzyme, quinol peroxidase (QPO) that contributes hydrogen peroxide removal and leukotoxin production of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, which is an oral pathogen causing localized aggressive periodontitis. In this study, overexpression and partial purification of YhjA, a QPO homologue in Escherichia coli, was constructed. On the other hand, The kinetic analysis characterized ascochlorin and illicicolin B as highly potent inhibitors of QPO and these compounds inhibited QPO in a competitive-type and mixed-type manners, respectively.
