摘要
The R- and K-gingipain proteases of Porphyromonas gingivalis are involved in proteolysis of haemoglobin from which the defensive dimeric haem pigment is formed. Whilst oxyhaemoglobin is refractory towards K-gingipain, methaemoglobin is rapidly degraded. Ligation of methaemoglobin with N-3(-), which effectively blocks haem dissociation from the protein, prevented haemoglobin breakdown. Haem-free globin was rapidly degraded by K-gingipain. These data emphasise the need for haemoglobin oxidation which encourages haem dissociation and makes the haem-free globin susceptible to proteolytic attack.
