| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We analyzed the molecular basis involved in oral colonization of P. gingivalis. Coculture with P. gingivalis induced the secretions of arginine, agmatine and ornithine by F. alocis, which contributes to nutritional symbiosis of P. gingivalis. While, the pathogen is well known to invade host cells such as gingival epithelial cells. We showed that P. gingivalis was first internalized with early endosomes positive for Rab14 and RalA which are members of low molecular weitht GTP-binding proteins. Then, the intercellular pathogen was suggested to exploit these effector molecules for its intracellular inhabiting and exit from infected cells.
These findings suggest the molecular basis utilized by P. gingivalis for oral colonization.
