Structure of the T9SS PorKN ring complex reveals conformational plasticity based on the repurposed FGE fold.

The type IX secretion system (T9SS) is a protein secretion machinery unique to the Bacteroidetes-Chlorobi-Fibrobacteres superphylum, which plays crucial roles in bacterial pathogenesis and gliding motility. It is composed of >15 proteins, including the proton-motive force-dependent PorLM motor, the PorKN ring anchored to the outer membrane, and the Sov translocon. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy (EM) structure of the PorKN ring complex from Porphyromonas gingivalis at 3.2 Å resolution. Our structural analysis reveals that PorK contains a repurposed formylglycine-generating enzyme…

Hypercitrullination and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies in chronic apical periodontitis, a laboratory investigation. Does autoimmunity contribute to the pathogenesis?

AIM: The presence of Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria, in particular, Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) in periapical granulomas predicts the generation of citrullinated proteins in the lesion. Citrullination of proteins may lead to the formation of anti-citrullinated autoantibodies (ACPA-s) initiating the formation of an autoimmune loop which may contribute to the perpetuation of inflammatory reactions and tissue damage in chronic apical periodontitis. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the formation of citrullinated proteins in chronic apical periodontitis and whether they…

Antimicrobial effects of commensal oral species are regulated by environmental factors.

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study are to identify oral commensal species which can inhibit the growth of the main periodontopathogens, to determine the antimicrobial substances involved in these inhibitory activities and to evaluate the influence of environmental factors on the magnitude of these inhibitions. METHODS: The spotting technique was used to quantify the capacity of 13 commensal species to inhibit the growth of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia. By altering experimental conditions (distance between spots and size of spo…

Extracellular vesicles from periodontal pathogens regulate hepatic steatosis via Toll-like receptor 2 and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1.

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by lipid accumulation in the liver. In this study, we showed that extracellular vesicles (EVs) from the periodontal pathogens Filifactor alocis and Porphyromonas gingivalis induced steatosis by inducing PAI-1 in the liver and serum of mice fed a low-fat diet. PAI-1 induction was not observed in TLR2-/- mice. When tested using HEK-Blue hTLR2 cells, human TLR2 reporter cells, the TLR2-activating ability of serum from NAFLD patients (n = 100) was significantly higher than that of serum from healt…

B Cell IgD Deletion Prevents Alveolar Bone Loss Following Murine Oral Infection.

Periodontal disease is one of the most common infectious diseases of humans. Immune responses to infection trigger loss of alveolar bone from the jaw and eventual tooth loss. We investigated the contribution of B cell IgD to alveolar bone loss by comparing the response of B cell normal BALB/cJ mice and IgD deficient BALB/c-Igh-5(-/-J) mice to oral infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative periodontopathic bacterium from humans. P. gingivalis-infected normal mice lost bone. Specific antibody to P. gingivalis was lower and oral colonization was higher in IgD deficient mice; yet bo…

Herpesviral-bacterial synergy in the pathogenesis of human periodontitis.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Periodontitis is an infectious disease, but the specific mechanisms by which tooth-supportive tissues are lost remain obscure. This article proposes an infectious disease model for periodontitis in which herpesviral-bacterial interactions assume a major etiopathogenic role. RECENT FINDINGS: Epstein-Barr virus type 1, cytomegalovirus and other herpesviruses occur at a high frequency in aggressive periodontitis lesions. Also, herpesvirus-infected periodontitis lesions tend to harbor elevated levels of classic periodontopathic bacteria, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, Dial…
