Crystal structure of the Arg specific cysteine proteinase gingipain R (RGPB)
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 10523290
Function
[CPG2_PORGI] Thiol protease which is believed to participate in intracellular degradation and turnover of proteins. Its proteolytic activity is a major factor in both periodontal tissue destruction and in bacterial host defense mechanisms. Activates complement C3 and C5 (By similarity).
