Porphyromonas gingivalis Genes Involved in fimA Regulation [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2004 ABSTRACT Porphyromonas gingivalis is an important component of the complex plaque biofilm that is a direct precursor of periodontal disease. The major fimbriae are required for attachment to oral surfaces and are an important virulence factor. Fimbrillin (FimA) expression in P.

Bordetella bronchiseptica expresses the fimbrial structural subunit gene fimA [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1997 The differential host species specificities of Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica might be explained by polymorphisms in adherence factor genes. We have found that B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica, unlike B. pertussis, contain a full-length gene for the fimbrial subunit FimA. B.

Porphyromonas gingivalis infection reduces regulatory T cells in infected atherosclerosis patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Increasing evidence has shown periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis) infection contributes to atherosclerosis (AS) progression. P.gingivalis fimbriae act as an important virulence factor in AS.

Conceptual design of firearm identification mobile application (FIMA) [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020 Everybody has at least a smartphone and the technology keep on evolving from time to time, same goes to mobile applications. Mobile applications are currently more towards learning, business and entertainment purposes, but why not we extend the use of the technology to forensic investigation? In this paper, we are highlighting the potential of a mobile

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Created in BioRender. Bohg, C. (2026) https://BioRender.Com/ vi9hi4f. Rhomboid proteases are a mechanistically unique and evolutionarily conserved protein family. Despite their pharmacological relevance, the development of selective inhibitors has lagged behind that of soluble proteases.

Regulation of the Porphyromonas gingivalis fimA (Fimbrillin) Gene [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2000 ABSTRACT In common with many bacterial virulence genes, the fimbrillin ( fimA ) gene of Porphyromonas gingivalis is modulated in response to environmental fluctuation. The trans -acting components that comprise the regulatory system for transcriptional ...

Lrp acts as both a positive and negative regulator for type 1 fimbriae production in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Leucine-responsive regulatory protein (Lrp) is known to be an indirect activator of type 1 fimbriae synthesis in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium via direct regulation of FimZ, a direct positive regulator for type 1 fimbriae production.
