Investigation of the potential regulator proteins associated with the expression of major surface protein and dentilisin in Treponema denticola

Objective Treponema denticola is involved in ‘chronic’ periodontitis pathogenesis. The mechanism underlying the regulation of the expression of its virulence factors, such as major surface protein (Msp) and prolyl-phenylalanine specific protease (dentilisin) is yet to be clarified. We determined the...
