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

Glycosylation Analysis and Protein Structure Determination of Murine Fetal Antigen 1 (mFA1) [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1997 By means of sequence analysis, murine fetal antigen 1 (mFAl) isolated from Mus musculus amniotic fluid was shown to be the circulating protein of the δ‐like protein, stromal‐cell‐derived protein 1 (SCP‐1) and preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref‐1) gene products. The protein contains 36 cysteine residues arranged in six epidermal‐growth‐factor‐like domains. The

Tobacco smoke augments Porphyromonas gingivalis-Streptococcus gordonii biofilm formation.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Smoking is responsible for the majority of periodontitis cases in the US and smokers are more susceptible than non-smokers to infection by the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. P.

Porphyromonas gingivalis Fimbriae Induce Osteoclastogenesis via Toll-like Receptors in RAW264 Cells. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 The effect of Mfa1 fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis on the progression of bone resorption remains unclear, especially compared with another fimbriae, FimA. We investigated the effect of Mfa1 on osteoclastogenesis together with FimA.
