The protein, Kgp, is being studied in the bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis. Kgp is a virulence factor of P. gingivalis that cleaves many constituents of connective tissue, leading to decreased bactericidal activity and chronic inflammation of the gums. Virulence is due to nutrient acquisition, cleavage of host cell surface receptors, signaling via protease activated receptors, and inactivation of cytokines and of the complement system. | The protein, Kgp, is being studied in the bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis.

Structure and Mechanism of Cysteine Peptidase Gingipain K (Kgp), a Major Virulence Factor of Porphyromonas gingivalis in PeriodontitisStructure and Mechanism of Cysteine Peptidase Gingipain K (Kgp), a Major Virulence Factor of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis
This is a default text for your page '. Click above on edit this page' to modify. Be careful with the < and > signs. You may include any references to papers as in: the use of JSmol in Proteopedia [1] or to the article describing Jmol [2] to the rescue. The protein, Kgp, is being studied in the bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis. Kgp is a virulence factor of P. gingivalis that cleaves many constituents of connective tissue, leading to decreased bactericidal activity and chronic inflammation of the gums. Virulence is due to nutrient acquisition, cleavage of host cell surface receptors, signaling via protease activated receptors, and inactivation of cytokines and of the complement system. DiseaseRelevanceStructural highlightsThis is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
