Identification of a transposon variant of Porphyromonas gingivalis expressing long Mfa1 fimbriae due to mfa2 inactivation

Journal of Oral Biosciences
Fimbriae expressed by Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontal pathogen, play a pivotal role in biofilm formation. In the type strain ATCC 33277, Mfa1 fimbriae form short structures anchored to the cell surface by Mfa2, an outer membrane protein involved in regulation of fimbrial length.

Mouse fetal antigen 1 (mFA1), the circulating gene product of mdlk, pref-1 and SCP-1: isolation, characterization and biology [PDF]

Reproduction, 1996
The mouse homologue to human fetal antigen 1 (hFA1) was purified from mouse amniotic fluid by cation exchange chromatography and immunospecific affinity chromatography. Mouse FA1 (mFA1) is a single chain glycoprotein with an M(r) of 42-50 kDa (SDS-PAGE). The N-terminal amino acid sequence (39 residues) revealed 74% identity to hFA1 and 100% identity to

cAMP-independent Crp homolog adds to the multi-layer regulatory network in Porphyromonas gingivalis [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionPorphyromonas gingivalis encodes three CRP/FNR superfamily proteins: HcpR, PgRsp, and CrpPg, with CrpPg similar to cAMP-sensing proteins but not classified into known families.

In Silico Destruction of Porphyromonas gingivalis Fimbriae by Streptomyces sp. Strain GMY02 [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences, 2023
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a keystone pathogen in chronic periodontitis, has fimbria as one of the most important virulence factors because it plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of P. gingivalis infection.

Role of Mfa5 in Expression of Mfa1 Fimbriae in Porphyromonas gingivalis [PDF]

Journal of Dental Research, 2016
Fimbriae are protein-based filamentous appendages that protrude from the bacterial cell surface and facilitate host adhesion. Two types of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1, of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis are responsible for adherence to other bacteria and to host cells in the oral cavity. Both fimbrial forms are composed of 5 proteins, but

Novel fimbrilin PGN_1808 in Porphyromonas gingivalis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontopathic gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, generally expresses two types of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1. However, a novel potential fimbrilin, PGN_1808, in P.

Identification and Characterization of MFA1 , the Gene Encoding Candida albicans a -Factor Pheromone [PDF]

Eukaryotic Cell, 2007
ABSTRACT In the opaque state, MTL a and MTL α strains of Candida albicans are able to mate, and this mating is directed by a pheromone-mediated signaling process. We have used comparisons of genome sequences to identify a C. albicans

Anchoring and length regulation of Porphyromonas gingivalis Mfa1 fimbriae by the downstream gene product Mfa2 [PDF]

Microbiology, 2009
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a causative agent of periodontitis, has at least two types of thin, single-stranded fimbriae, termed FimA and Mfa1 (according to the names of major subunits), which can be discriminated by filament length and by the size of their major fimbrilin subunits.
