The AprV5 subtilase is required for the optimal processing of all three extracellular serine proteases from Dichelobacter nodosus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Dichelobacter nodosus is the principal causative agent of ovine footrot and its extracellular proteases are major virulence factors. Virulent isolates of D. nodosus secrete three subtilisin-like serine proteases: AprV2, AprV5 and BprV.
