Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to elucidate the function of von Willebrand factor A domainlike protein (PGN0291), the accessory protein of Mfa1 fimbriae of P. gingivalis, inplatelet aggregation. The following findings were obtained although relationshipbetween PGN0291 protein and platelet aggregation were not found. 1. PGN0291 proteinwas required for assembly of other accessory proteins of PGN0289 and PGN0290. 2.PGN0291 protein was involved in P. gingivalis auto-aggregation. 3. PGN0289 proteinwas localized at tip of fimbriae. These findings indicate that PGN0289, PGN0290 andPGN0291, the accessory proteins of Mfa1 fimbriae, form the complex at the tip, andare important for function of Mfa1 fimbriae.
