The gene encoding the Treponema denticola factor H-like protein 1 (FHL-1) binding protein, FhbB, was recovered and characterized. Sequence conservation, expression, and properties of FhbB were analyzed. The identification of FhbB represents an important step in understanding the contribution of FHL-1 binding in T. denticola pathogenesis and in development of periodontal disease.
编码具核梭杆菌因子H样蛋白1(FHL-1)结合蛋白FhbB的基因被克隆并进行了特性分析。分析了FhbB的序列保守性、表达情况及特性。FhbB的鉴定是了解FHL-1结合在具核梭杆菌致病机制及牙周疾病发展过程中所起作用的重要一步。
