A Functional Virulence Complex Composed of Gingipains, Adhesins, and Lipopolysaccharide Shows High Affinity to Host Cells and Matrix Proteins and Escapes Recognition by Host Immune Systems

Arg-gingipain (Rgp) and Lys-gingipain (Kgp) are Porphyromonas gingivalis cysteine proteinases implicated as major virulence factors in pathologies of periodontitis. We purified a 660-kDa cell-associated gingipain complex existing as a homodimer of two catalytically active monomers which comprises th...
