Identification of Dipeptidyl-Peptidase (DPP)5 and DPP7 in Porphyromonas endodontalis, Distinct from Those in Porphyromonas gingivalis [PDF]
Dipeptidyl peptidases (DPPs) that liberate dipeptides from the N-terminal end of oligopeptides are crucial for the growth of Porphyromonas species, anaerobic asaccharolytic gram negative rods that utilize amino acids as energy sources.

Are metacaspases caspases? [PDF]
The identification of caspases as major regulators of apoptotic cell death in animals initiated a quest for homologous peptidases in other kingdoms. With the discovery of metacaspases in plants, fungi, and protozoa, this search had apparently reached its

Alzheimer's Disease-Like Pathology Triggered by Porphyromonas gingivalis in Wild Type Rats Is Serotype Dependent [PDF]
Periodontal disease is a disease of tooth-supporting tissues. It is a chronic disease with inflammatory nature and infectious etiology produced by a dysbiotic subgingival microbiota that colonizes the gingivodental sulcus.

Identification and Characterization of Prokaryotic Dipeptidyl-Peptidase 5 from Porphyromonas gingivalis [PDF]
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a Gram-negative asaccharolytic anaerobe, is one of the major causative organisms of chronic periodontitis. The bacterium utilizes amino acids as energy and carbon sources, and incorporates them mainly as dipeptides. Therefore, a

Identification of a new subtype of dipeptidyl peptidase 11 and a third group of the S46-family members specifically present in the genus Bacteroides [PDF]
Peptidase family S46 consists of two types of dipeptidyl-peptidases (DPPs), DPP7 and DPP11, which liberate dipeptides from the N-termini of polypeptides along with the penultimate hydrophobic and acidic residues, respectively.
