- W2056077453 abstract "Porphyromonas gingivalis produces arginine-specific cysteine proteinase (Arg-gingipain, RGP) and lysine-specific cysteine proteinase (Lys-gingipain, KGP) in the extracellular and cell-associated forms. Two separate genes (rgpA and rgpB) and a single gene (kgp) have been found to encode RGP and KGP, respectively. We constructed rgpA rgpB kgp triple mutants by homologous recombination with cloned rgp and kgp DNA interrupted by drug resistance gene markers. The triple mutants showed no RGP or KGP activity in either cell extracts or culture supernatants. The culture supernatants of the triple mutants grown in a rich medium had no proteolytic activity toward bovine serum albumin or gelatin derived from human type I collagen. Moreover, the mutants did not grow in a defined medium containing bovine serum albumin as the sole carbon/energy source. These results indicate that the proteolytic activity of P. gingivalis toward bovine serum albumin and gelatin derived from human type I collagen appears to be attributable to RGP and KGP. The hemagglutinin gene hagA of P. gingivalis possesses the adhesin domain regions responsible for hemagglutination and hemoglobin binding that are also located in the C-terminal regions of rgpA and kgp. ArgpA kgp hagA triple mutant constructed in this study exhibited no hemagglutination using sheep erythrocytes or hemoglobin binding activity, as determined by a solid-phase binding assay with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated human hemoglobin, indicating that the adhesin domains seem to be particularly important for P. gingivalis cells to agglutinate erythrocytes and bind hemoglobin, leading to heme acquisition. Porphyromonas gingivalis produces arginine-specific cysteine proteinase (Arg-gingipain, RGP) and lysine-specific cysteine proteinase (Lys-gingipain, KGP) in the extracellular and cell-associated forms. Two separate genes (rgpA and rgpB) and a single gene (kgp) have been found to encode RGP and KGP, respectively.

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium that is implicated as an important etiological agent of adult periodontal disease (1Haffajee A.D. Socransky S.S. Periodontol. 2000. 1994; 5: 78-111Crossref PubMed Scopus (1221) Google Scholar). P. gingivalis is asaccharolytic and highly proteolytic. Proteinases with trypsin-like activity, which are major extracellular and cell-associated proteinases of P. gingivalis, are now found to consist of arginine-specific cysteine proteinase (Arg-gingipain, RGP) 1The abbreviations used are: RGP, Arg-gingipain; KGP, Lys-gingipain; HbR, hemoglobin receptor; BHI, brain heart infusion; α-KG, α-ketoglutarate; BSA, bovine serum albumin; Cm, chloramphenicol; Cmr, chloramphenicol-resistant; Em, erythromycin; Emr, erythromycin-resistant; Tc, tetracycline; Tcr, tetracycline-resistant; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; HRP, horseradish peroxidase; mAb, monoclonal antibody. and lysine-specific cysteine proteinase (Lys-gingipain, KGP) (2Potempa J. Pike R. Travis J. Infect. Immun. 1995; 63: 1176-1182Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). Molecular genetic analyses have revealed that RGP is encoded by the two genesrgpA (rgp-1, prpR1, and prtR) andrgpB (rgp-2, prR2, and prtRII) (3Nakayama K. Kadowaki T. Okamoto K. Yamamoto K. J. Biol.

Chem. 1998; 273: 21225-21231Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (133) Google Scholar). In addition to rgp andkgp, several proteinase-encoding genes have been cloned and characterized (12Kato T. Takahashi N. Kuramitsu H.K. J. Bacteriol. 1992; 174: 3889-3895Crossref PubMed Scopus (118) Google Scholar, 13Park Y. McBride B.C. Infect. Immun. 1993; 61: 4139-4146Crossref PubMed Google Scholar, 14Madden T.E. Clark V.L. Kuramitsu H.K. Infect. Immun. 1995; 63: 238-247Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). Because of asaccharolysis, P. gingivalis is totally dependent on amino acids and peptides for its growth. However, it has not yet been determined what proteinase(s) is actually responsible for the degradation of environmental proteins and the generation of amino acids and peptides as carbon/energy sources. Nucleotide sequencing revealed that rgpA consists of three DNA regions: (i) an N-terminal propeptide, (ii) a proteinase domain, and (iii) a C-terminal adhesin domain region (15Pavloff N. Potempa J. Pike R.N. Prochazka V. Kiefer M.C. Travis J. Barr P.J. J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 1007-1010Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (166) Google Scholar). rgpBshares a high similarity in the N-terminal propeptide and proteinase domain with rgpA, and, importantly, the proteinase domains of the two genes are almost identical (4Nakayama K. Microbiol. Immunol. 1997; 41: 185-196Crossref PubMed Scopus (68) Google Scholar). Most of the C-terminal adhesin domain region is absent in rgpB (4Nakayama K. Microbiol. Immunol. 1997; 41: 185-196Crossref PubMed Scopus (68) Google Scholar). On the other hand, kgp has the same gene structure (an N-terminal propeptide, a proteinase domain, and a C-terminal adhesin region) asrgpA (7Okamoto K. Kadowaki T. Nakayama K. Yamamoto K. J. Biochem. (Tokyo). 1996; 120: 398-406Crossref PubMed Scopus (96) Google Scholar). Although the proteinase domains of kgpand rgpA are divergent, their C-terminal adhesin domain regions are very similar to each other (7Okamoto K. Kadowaki T. Nakayama K. Yamamoto K. J. Biochem. (Tokyo). 1996; 120: 398-406Crossref PubMed Scopus (96) Google Scholar). In addition torgpA and kgp, part of the C-terminal adhesin domain region is also encoded by hagA and tla ofP. gingivalis (16Han N. Whitlock J. Progulske-Fox A. Infect. Immun. 1996; 64: 4000-4007Crossref PubMed Google Scholar, 17Aduse-Opoku J. Muir J. Slaney J.M. Rangarajan M. Curtis M.A. J. Bacteriol. 1997; 179: 4778-4788Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). The C-terminal adhesin domain region of rgpA consists of four domains (HGP44, HGP15, HGP17, and HGP27) (15Pavloff N. Potempa J. Pike R.N. Prochazka V. Kiefer M.C. Travis J. Barr P.J. J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 1007-1010Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (166) Google Scholar). One of the domain proteins, HGP15, was found to have the ability to bind hemoglobin by surface plasmon resonance detection using a recombinant HGP15 protein, and we proposed to designate this protein “hemoglobin receptor (HbR) domain protein” (18Nakayama K. Ratnayake D.B. Tsukuba T. Kadowaki T. Yamamoto K. Fujimura S. Mol. Microbiol. 1998; 27: 51-61Crossref PubMed Scopus (102) Google Scholar). The three other non-HbR domains (HGP44, HGP17, and HGP27) have a 49-amino acid-long sequence in common (15Pavloff N. Potempa J. Pike R.N. Prochazka V. Kiefer M.C. Travis J. Barr P.J. J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 1007-1010Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (166) Google Scholar). At least two of the non-HbR domain proteins (HGP44 and HGP17) seem to be involved in hemagglutination of P. gingivalis, as suggested by the finding that monoclonal antibodies inhibiting hemagglutination recognize a particular amino acid sequence within the domain proteins (19Curtis M.A. Aduse-Opoku J.

Construction and analysis of a rgpA rgpB double mutant and akgp mutant revealed that rgpA and rgpBare responsible for hemagglutination, the disruption of the bactericidal function of leukocytes, and the maturation of severalP. gingivalis surface proteins such as fimbrilin (3Nakayama K. Kadowaki T. Okamoto K. Yamamoto K. J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 23619-23626Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (217) Google Scholar, 23Nakayama K. Yoshimura F. Kadowaki T. Yamamoto K. J.

Chem. 1998; 273: 29072-29076Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (145) Google Scholar), whereas kgp contributes to heme accumulation on the cell surface, resulting in colonial black pigmentation on blood agar plates (11Okamoto K. Nakayama K. Kadowaki T. Abe N. Ratnayake D.B. Yamamoto K. J. Biol. Chem. 1998; 273: 21225-21231Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (133) Google Scholar). Although rgp and kgp seem to play different roles in cell metabolism, functional complementation betweenrgp and kgp may occur, judging from the structural similarity. To further elucidate the roles of these genes, we constructed rgpA rgpB kgp and rgpA kgp hagAtriple mutants and examined them for proteolysis, hemoglobin binding, and hemagglutination. P. gingivalis cells were grown anaerobically (10% CO2, 10% H2, and 80% N2) in enriched brain heart infusion (BHI) broth (3Nakayama K. Kadowaki T. Okamoto K. Yamamoto K. J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 23619-23626Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (217) Google Scholar) and on enriched tryptic soy agar (3Nakayama K. Kadowaki T. Okamoto K. Yamamoto K. J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 23619-23626Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (217) Google Scholar). For blood agar plates, defibrinated laked sheep blood was added to enriched tryptic soy agar at 5%. As a defined minimal medium, we used α-ketoglutarate/bovine serum albumin (α-KG/BSA) medium for the growth of P. gingivalis (25Milner P. Batten J.E. Curtis M.A. FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 1996; 140: 125-130PubMed Google Scholar). To make trypsin-pretreated α-KG/BSA medium, trypsin was added to α-KG/BSA medium at a concentration of 50 μg/ml and incubated at 37 °C for 4 h. For selection and maintenance of the antibiotic-resistant strains, antibiotics were added to the medium at the following concentrations: ampicillin, 50 μg/ml; chloramphenicol (Cm), 20 μg/ml; erythromycin (Em), 10 μg/ml; and tetracycline (Tc), 0.7 μg/ml. A promoterless cat DNA block (end-filled HindIII fragment; 0.75 kilobase pairs) of pCM7 (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) was inserted into the end-filled EcoRI site within thekgp gene of pNKD (11Okamoto K. Nakayama K. Kadowaki T. Abe N. Ratnayake D.B. Yamamoto K. J. Biol. Chem. 1998; 273: 21225-21231Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (133) Google Scholar), resulting in pKD362, which contained two tandem inserts of the cat block at the same orientation as kgp. A PstI fragment of pKD362 containing thekgp::cat operon fusion was introduced into P. gingivalis ATCC33277 and KDP112 (rgpA1::Tcr rgpB1::Emr) by electroporation to produce the Cm-resistant (Cmr) transformants KDP129 (kgp-2::Cmr) and KDP128 (rgpA1::Tcr rgpB1::Emr kgp-2::Cmr), respectively. An ermF ermAM DNA block (end-filled EcoRI-BamHI fragment) of pVA2198 (26Fletcher H.M. Schenkein H.A. Morgan R.M. Bailey K.A. Berry C.R. Macrina F.L. Infect. Immun. 1995; 63: 1521-1528Crossref PubMed Google Scholar) was inserted into the EcoRV site within the rgpA gene of P. g./pUC118 plasmid (27Okamoto K. Misumi Y. Kadowaki T. Yoneda M. Yamamoto K. Ikehara Y. Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 1995; 316: 917-925Crossref PubMed Scopus (83) Google Scholar), resulting in pKD373. An EcoRI-BamHI fragment of pKD373 containingrgpA2::Emr was used for electrotransformation of ATCC33277 and KDP129 to yield KDP131 (rgpA2::Emr) and KDP134 (rgpA2::Emr kgp-2::Cmr), respectively. AnEcoRI-SphI fragment of pKD314 (4Nakayama K. Microbiol. Immunol. 1997; 41: 185-196Crossref PubMed Scopus (68) Google Scholar) was ligated to the EcoRI-SphI fragment of pKD296 (4Nakayama K. Microbiol. Immunol. 1997; 41: 185-196Crossref PubMed Scopus (68) Google Scholar) to give rise to pKD317 containing the whole rgpB gene. A uniqueSmaI site within rgpB of pKD317 was converted to a BglII site using a BglII linker DNA to yield pKD376. A tetQ DNA block (2.7-kilobase pairBamHI-BglII fragment) of pKD375 that was derived from pMJF-3 (28Feldhaus M.J. Hwa V. Cheng Q. Saylers A.A. J. Bacteriol. 1991; 173: 4540-4543Crossref PubMed Google Scholar) was inserted into the BglII site of pKD376, resulting in pKD377. A PstI fragment of pKD377 containingrgpB2::Tcr was introduced into ATCC33277, KDP129, and KDP134 to produce the Tcrtransformants KDP132 (rgpB2::Tcr), KDP135 (rgpB2::Tcr kgp-2::Cmr), and KDP136 (rgpA2::Emr rgpB2::Tcr kgp-2::Cmr), respectively. A DNA region (936 base pairs) in the vicinity of the 5′ end of the hagA gene was polymerase chain reaction-amplified from the chromosomal DNA ofP. gingivalis ATCC33277 with two primers (5′-CGCTGCAGAAAGGTATTCGAACATC-3′ and 5′-TCGGATCCGAGGGTTTCTTCCAGTA-3′) and inserted into pMOSBlue plasmid by using a T-vector system (pMOSBlue T-vector kit; Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). A PstI-BamHI fragment of the resulting plasmid that contained the internal region of the hagA gene was then inserted into the PstI-BamHI region of pMJF-3, giving rise to pKD363. ATCC33277 and KDP134 were transformed to Tcr by electroporation with pKD363 circular plasmid DNA to yield KDP130 (hagA1::Tcr) and KDP137 (rgpA2::Emr kgp-2::Cmr hagA1::Tcr), respectively. Proper DNA replacement and integration in KDP136 and KDP137 were confirmed by Southern hybridization. Lys-X and Arg-Xspecific cysteine proteinase activities were determined by use of the synthetic substratesN-p-Tosyl-Gly-Pro-Lys-p-nitroanilide andN-α-benzoyl-dl-Arg-p-nitroanilide, respectively. In brief, various volumes of the cell lysates and supernatants of the culture were added to a reaction mixture (1 ml) containing 0.25 mm N-p-Tosyl-Gly-Pro-Lys-p-nitroanilide, 5 mml-cysteine, and 20 mmphosphate buffer (pH 7.5) for KGP and a reaction mixture (1 ml) containing 0.5 mm N-α-benzoyl-dl-Arg-p-nitroanilide, 10 mml-cysteine, 10 mmCaCl2, and 100 mm Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) for RGP. The reaction mixtures were incubated at 40 °C for KGP and at 30 °C for RGP. After the samples were added, absorbance was continuously measured at 405 nm on a spectrophotometer. Proteinase activities in cell extracts and culture supernatants were determined by the increase in absorbance per minute per milligram of protein and the increase in absorbance per minute per milliliter, respectively. Forty-eight-h cultures of P. gingivalis strains in enriched BHI broth were centrifuged, washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and resuspended in PBS. The bacterial suspensions were then diluted in a twofold series with PBS. A 100-μl aliquot of each of the dilutions was mixed with an equal volume of sheep erythrocyte suspension (2.5% in PBS) and incubated in a round-bottomed microtiter plate at room temperature for 3 h. Forty-eight-h cultures ofP. gingivalis strains in enriched BHI broth were diluted in a twofold series with PBS, and a 10-μl aliquot of each of the dilutions was applied to nitrocellulose membranes and allowed to dry. The membranes were immersed in PBS containing 1% skim milk for 1 h at room temperature to block nonspecific protein binding. For hemoglobin binding activity, the membranes were then probed with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated hemoglobin in PBS containing 0.5% BSA for 1 h at room temperature. HRP-conjugated hemoglobin was made according to the method of Kishore et al. (29Kishore A.R. Kalfas J.E.S. Forsgren A. Naidu A.S. J. Med. Microbiol. 1992; 37: 341-345Crossref PubMed Scopus (23) Google Scholar). After three 10-min washes with PBS, peroxidase activity was detected (29Kishore A.R. Kalfas J.E.S. Forsgren A. Naidu A.S. J. Med. Microbiol. 1992; 37: 341-345Crossref PubMed Scopus (23) Google Scholar). For antibody binding, rabbit anti-HbR antiserum (18Nakayama K. Ratnayake D.B. Tsukuba T. Kadowaki T. Yamamoto K. Fujimura S. Mol. Microbiol. 1998; 27: 51-61Crossref PubMed Scopus (102) Google Scholar) and mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) 61BG1.3 for the detection of the non-HbR domain proteins (30Gmur R. Werner-Felmayer G. Guggenheim B. Oral Microbiol. Immunol. 1988; 3: 181-186Crossref PubMed Scopus (37) Google Scholar) were used as the primary antibody, and HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit and anti-mouse IgGs were used as the secondary antibody, respectively. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was performed essentially according to the method of Laemmli (31Laemmli U.K. Nature. 1970; 227: 680-685Crossref PubMed Scopus (207233) Google Scholar). Before being solubilized in a sample buffer, P. gingivalis cells were treated with 10% trichloroacetic acid to inactivate endogenous proteinases. For immunoblotting, proteins on SDS gels were electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose membranes using a semi-dry blotting system (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). The blotted membranes were immunostained with anti-HbR antiserum or mAb 61BG1.3, and signals were detected using an ECL detection system (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). N-p-Tosyl-Gly-Pro-Lys-p-nitroanilide,N-α-benzoyl-dl-Arg-p-nitroanilide, human hemoglobin, α-KG, BSA (type IV), and trypsin were purchased from Sigma. Gelatin derived from human type I collagen was obtained from Seikagaku Co. (Japan). HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit and anti-mouse IgGs were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. Electrotransformation and Southern blotting were done as described previously (3Nakayama K. Kadowaki T. Okamoto K. Yamamoto K. J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 23619-23626Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (217) Google Scholar). We used the promoterless Cm acetyltransferase-encoding gene for the construction of a kgp insertional mutation because we had used the Emr gene (ermF) and the Tcr gene (tetQ) for the construction ofrgpA and rgpB mutations. Thekgp-2::Cmr mutant (KDP129) and thergpA1::Tcr rgpB1::Emr kgp-2::Cmr mutant (KDP128) were obtained by the selection of Cmr transformants after the introduction of the kgp-2::Cmr DNA fragment to the wild type parent (ATCC33277) and thergpA1::Tcr rgpB1::Emr mutant (KDP112), respectively, by electroporation. Southern analysis indicated the replacement ofkgp with kgp-2::Cmr in KDP129 and KDP128 (Fig. 1). KDP129 showed no KGP activity, and KDP128 showed neither KGP nor RGP activity (TableI). In addition, KDP129 exhibited reduced colonial pigmentation on blood agar plates (Fig.2), which was one of the characteristic features of a kgp mutant (11Okamoto K. Nakayama K. Kadowaki T. Abe N. Ratnayake D.B. Yamamoto K. J. Biol. Chem. 1998; 273: 21225-21231Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (133) Google Scholar). Colonies of KDP128 showed less color on the blood agar plates than those of KDP129 (Fig. 2). KDP128 has integration-type mutations at the rgpA andrgpB loci. Because of the potential problem of instability in integration-type mutations, another rgpA rgpB kgp triple mutant (KDP136) was constructed from KDP129 by sequential replacement with linear DNA fragments containingrgpA2::Emr andrgpB2::Tcr mutations. ThergpA2::Emr kgp-2::Cmr hagA1::Tcr mutant (KDP137) was obtained by the introduction of pKD363 circular plasmid DNA containing the internal region of hagA into KDP134 (rgpA2::Emr kgp-2::Cmr). Determination of the proteolytic activities of the various mutants supported the fact that RGP is encoded by two separate genes, rgpA andrgpB, whereas KGP is encoded by a single gene,kgp (Table I).Table IRGP and KGP activities of various P. gingivalis mutantsStrainCell extractCulture supernatantRGPKGPRGPKGP(ΔA405/min/mg protein)(ΔA405/min/ml)ATCC3327712.6 ± 4.57.0 ± 1.824.0 ± 5.67.4 ± 2.5KDP129 (kgp)15.4 ± 9.5017.6 ± 9.20KDP112 (rgpA rgpB)02.1 ± 0.77013.2 ± 8.0KDP133 (rgpA rgpB)010.2 ± 4.9010.8 ± 4.1KDP134 (rgpA kgp)11.7 ± 8.3014.8 ± 6.90KDP128 (rgpA rgpB kgp)0000KDP136 (rgpA rgpB kgp)0000KDP137 (rgpA kgp hagA)13.3 ± 8.3018.8 ± 8.10Forty-eight-h cultures of P. gingivalis strains in enriched BHI broth were centrifuged.

P. gingivalis ATCC33277 (wild type), KDP112 (rgpA rgpB), KDP128 (rgpA rgpB kgp), and KDP129 (kgp) were anaerobically grown on blood agar plates at 37 °C for 7 days.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload (PPT) Forty-eight-h cultures of P. gingivalis strains in enriched BHI broth were centrifuged. The cell pellets were resuspended in PBS and disrupted by a supersonic vibrator. The cell extracts and culture supernatants were used for the determination of RGP and KGP activities. Data are the means ± standard errors of four independent experiments. KDP112 (rgpA rgpB) and KDP128 (rgpA rgpB kgp) grew faster than ATCC33277 (wild type) and KDP129 (kgp) in enriched BHI broth (Fig. 3). Moreover, ATCC33277 and KDP129 showed a decrease in absorbance after 100 h of incubation, indicating cell lysis. Although the absorbance was also decreased in KDP128 and KDP112, the absorbance decreases of KDP128 and KDP112 were low and intermediate, respectively, compared with those of ATCC33277 and KDP129. These results indicate that the cell lysis seen after prolonged incubation appeared to be caused mainly by RGP and KGP. The rgp- andkgp-related mutants were grown in enriched BHI broth. Supernatants of the cultures of a 3-day incubation were mixed with gelatin derived from human type I collagen or BSA. ATCC33277, KDP129, and KDP112 showed a complete degradation of gelatin, whereas KDP128 showed no degradation (Fig.4 a). KDP128 also showed no degradation of BSA (Fig. 4 b). These results indicate that the extracellular proteolytic activity of P. gingivalis is totally attributable to RGP and KGP. The α-KG/BSA defined medium contains BSA as the sole carbon/energy source, and this medium supports the growth of wild type P. gingivalis cells (25Milner P. Batten J.E. Curtis M.A. FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 1996; 140: 125-130PubMed Google Scholar). To determine whether P. gingivalis cells require RGP and KGP activities to grow in this medium, rgp- andkgp-related mutants were incubated in the medium. ATCC33277, KDP112, and KDP129 grew in this medium, whereas KDP128 did not grow (Fig. 5). KDP128 grew in the trypsin-predigested α-KG/BSA medium as well as ATCC33277. These results strongly indicate that RGP and KGP contribute to protein degradation, leading to the production of peptides utilizable as carbon/energy sources. KDP136 (rgpA rgpB kgp) and KDP133 (rgpA rgpB) showed the same results as KDP128 and KDP112, respectively, in cell growth in enriched BHI broth, degradation of gelatin and BSA by culture supernatants, and cell growth in the α-KG/BSA defined medium. P. gingivalis has the ability to bind hemoglobin (32Fujimura S. Shibata Y. Hirai K. Nakamura T. FEMS Immunol. Med. Microbiol. 1995; 10: 109-114Crossref PubMed Google Scholar, 33Amano A. Kuboniwa M. Kataoka K. Tazaki K. Inoshita E. Nagata H. Tamagawa H. Shizukuishi S. FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 1995; 134: 63-67Crossref PubMed Google Scholar, 34Fujimura S. Shibata Y. Hirai S. Nakamura T. Infect. Immun. 1996; 64: 2339-2342Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). We found that the HbR protein of P. gingivalis was intragenically encoded by the rgpA,kgp, and hagA genes (18Nakayama K. Ratnayake D.B. Tsukuba T. Kadowaki T. Yamamoto K. Fujimura S. Mol. Microbiol. 1998; 27: 51-61Crossref PubMed Scopus (102) Google Scholar). In addition, another gene (tla) that was found to encode the HbR domain protein in the C-terminal region has recently been cloned (17Aduse-Opoku J. Muir J. Slaney J.M. Rangarajan M. Curtis M.A. J. Bacteriol. 1997; 179: 4778-4788Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). To determine which gene(s) is actually responsible for the production of the HbR protein, immunoblot analyses with anti-HbR antiserum were performed using cell lysates and intact cells of various mutants (Fig.6, a and b). The wild type parent (ATCC33277), the rgpA rgpB mutants (KDP112 and KDP133), the kgp mutant (KDP129), and the rgpA kgp mutant (KDP134) exhibited the 19-kDa HbR protein in the lysates of cells grown in blood agar plates for 7 days, whereas thergpA rgpB kgp mutants (KDP128 and KDP136) and the rgpA kgp hagA mutant (KDP137) produced no HbR protein in cell lysates. The intact cells of ATCC33277, KDP133, KDP129, and KDP134 reacted to the anti-HbR antiserum, whereas those of KDP136 and KDP137 showed no reaction with the antiserum. These results suggest that all three of the genes (rgpA, kgp, and hagA) contribute to the HbR expression of P. gingivalis. Then we determined the hemoglobin binding ability of the mutants (Fig.7). The rgpA rgpB kgp mutants (KDP128 and KDP136) and the rgpA kgp hagA mutant (KDP137) showed no hemoglobin binding ability, whereas the cells of other strains (ATCC33277, KDP112, KDP129, KDP133, and KDP134) had the ability to bind hemoglobin, although the binding ability varied among the different strains. In addition, the fimA mutant KDP98 that is deficient in fimbriation (35Watanabe-Kato T. Hayashi J. Terazawa Y. Hoover C.I. Nakayama K. Hibi E. Kawakami N. Ikeda T. Nakamura H. Noguchi T. Yoshimura F. Microb. Pathog. 1998; 24: 25-35Crossref PubMed Scopus (28) Google Scholar) exhibited hemoglobin binding activity. These results indicate that hemoglobin binding activity appeared to be correlated to HbR expression. Because the HbR protein had hemoglobin binding activity in a cell-free system (18Nakayama K. Ratnayake D.B. Tsukuba T. Kadowaki T. Yamamoto K. Fujimura S. Mol. Microbiol. 1998; 27: 51-61Crossref PubMed Scopus (102) Google Scholar), it is plausible to consider that the hemoglobin binding ability of P. gingivalis is attributable to the HbR protein.Figure 7Solid-phase hemoglobin binding assay. P. gingivalis cells grown in enriched BHI broth for 48 h were washed with PBS, resuspended in the original volume of PBS, and diluted in a 2-fold series with PBS. A 10-μl aliquot of each of the dilutions was applied to a nitrocellulose membrane and allowed to dry. The membrane was then subjected to the solid-phase binding assay using HRP-conjugated hemoglobin. Columns are as follows: 1, ATCC33277; 2, KDP112; 3, KDP133; 4, KDP129; 5, KDP134; 6, KDP128; 7, KDP136; 8, KDP137; and 9, KDP98.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload (PPT) P. gingivalis has the ability to agglutinate erythrocytes, which is one of the significant features of this organism. Pike et al. (36Pike R. McGraw W. Potempa J. Travis J. J. Biol. Chem. 1994; 269: 406-411Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar) reported that the RGP/adhesin and KGP/adhesin complexes have hemagglutinating activity. A monoclonal antibody (mAb 61BG1.3) that inhibits the hemagglutination of P. gingivalis was found to recognize a peptide within the adhesin domain (HGP44 of rgpA) encoded by rgpA, kgp, andhagA (20Booth V. Lehner T. J. Periodontal. Res. 1997; 32: 54-60Crossref PubMed Scopus (38) Google Scholar, 21Kelly C.G. Booth V. Kendal H. Slaney J.M. Curtis M.A. Lehner T. Clin. Exp. Immunol. 1997; 110: 285-291Crossref PubMed Scopus (51) Google Scholar). To determine whether the rgp- andkgp-related mutants produce mAb 61BG1.3-reactive proteins, immunoblot analyses were performed using cell lysates and intact cells (Fig. 8, a and b). The wild type strain (ATCC33277), the rgpA rgpB mutant (KDP133), the kgp mutant (KDP129), and the rgpA kgp mutant (KDP134) produced immunoreactive proteins on the cell surfaces and in the cell lysates, whereas the rgpA rgpB kgpmutant (KDP136) and the rgpA kgp hagA mutant (KDP137) produced no reactive proteins on their cell surfaces. Interestingly, the rgpA kgp hagA mutant showed no reactive proteins in the cell lysate, whereas the rgpA rgpB kgp mutant produced immunoreactive proteins with molecular masses of more than 100 kDa that were probably derived from hagA. The rgpA rgpB kgp and rgpA kgp hagA mutants showed no hemagglutinating activity using sheep erythrocytes (Fig.9). These results indicate that hemagglutination of P. gingivalis is caused by thergpA-, kgp-, and hagA-encoding adhesin domains and that the expression of these adhesin domains on the cell surface is particularly important for hemagglutination.Figure 9Hemagglutinating activity of thergp- and kgp-related mutants. P. gingivalis cells were grown in enriched BHI broth, washed with PBS, and resuspended in PBS at an optical density at 540 nm of 0.4. The suspension and its dilutions in a 2-fold series were applied to the wells of a microtiter plate from left to right and mixed with sheep erythrocyte suspension. 1, ATCC33277; 2, KDP129; 3, KDP133; 4, KDP134; 5, KDP136; 6, KDP137.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload (PPT) P. gingivalis cannot utilize carbohydrates as carbon/energy sources (37Shah H.N. Williams R.A.D. Curr. Microbiol. 1987; 15: 241-246Crossref Scopus (61) Google Scholar). Therefore, the microorganism has developed utilization of environmental amino acids and peptides by production of extracellular proteinases. In the gingiva, macromolecules such as serum albumin, immunoglobulins, hemoglobin, and various proteins of host tissues and secretions are target molecules for degradation to amino acids and peptides by the extracellular proteinases secreted from the organism. Although a number of extracellular and cell-associated proteinases have been found in P. gingivalis, it is still unclear which proteinase(s) is actually responsible for the production of utilizable amino acids and peptides. In this study, we found that the culture supernatants of the rgpA rgpB kgp triple mutants had no proteolytic activity to gelatin or BSA, indicating that the extracellular proteinase activity of P. gingivalis may be totally attributable to the three genes. The inability of thergpA rgpB kgp mutants to grow in the α-KG/BSA defined medium supported this idea. Several proteinases other than RGP and KGP have been cloned and characterized (12Kato T. Takahashi N. Kuramitsu H.K. J. Bacteriol. 1992; 174: 3889-3895Crossref PubMed Scopus (118) Google Scholar, 13Park Y. McBride B.C. Infect. Immun. 1993; 61: 4139-4146Crossref PubMed Google Scholar, 14Madden T.E. Clark V.L. Kuramitsu H.K. Infect. Immun. 1995; 63: 238-247Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). The results obtained here, however, suggest that these proteinases may not be located on the surface or secreted outside or may not be expressed under the culture conditions used in this study. We also found that the autolysis ofP. gingivalis cells observed in prolonged cultures might be due mainly to extracellular and cell-associated RGP and KGP. In our previous study (18Nakayama K. Ratnayake D.B. Tsukuba T. Kadowaki T. Yamamoto K. Fujimura S. Mol. Microbiol. 1998; 27: 51-61Crossref PubMed Scopus (102) Google Scholar), we found that the HbR domain protein that was intragenically encoded by rgpA, kgp, and hagAhad the ability to bind hemoglobin. Immunoblot analysis using anti-HbR antiserum revealed that the rgpA kgp double mutant produced the 19-kDa HbR protein, whereas the rgpA kgp hagA triple mutant produced no HbR protein. The result indicates thathagA is responsible for HbR production as well asrgpA and kgp. Aduse-Opoku et al. (17Aduse-Opoku J. Muir J. Slaney J.M. Rangarajan M. Curtis M.A. J. Bacteriol. 1997; 179: 4778-4788Crossref PubMed Google Scholar) recently reported that the HbR domain region was also located within the tla gene cloned from the P. gingivalis W50 chromosome. However, they mentioned in the study that Northern analyses of mRNA had thus far failed to reveal the presence of atla transcript in cells grown under any growth condition, indicating that there might be very little HbR production from thetla gene. A restriction map around the tla gene in ATCC33277 is different from that of W50 (17Aduse-Opoku J. Muir J. Slaney J.M. Rangarajan M. Curtis M.A. J. Bacteriol. 1997; 179: 4778-4788Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). An oligonucleotide probe recognizing the HbR region hybridized to three different restriction fragments of ATCC33277 chromosomal DNA, which were probably derived from the rgpA, kgp, and hagAloci. 2Y. Shi, D. B. Ratnayake, and K. Nakayama, unpublished observations. These results suggest another possibility: that the ATCC33277 chromosome may not possess the HbR domain region in the tla gene. Further investigation including the cloning and nucleotide sequencing of tla from ATCC33277 will be necessary for clarification of this issue. In the previous study (18Nakayama K. Ratnayake D.B. Tsukuba T. Kadowaki T. Yamamoto K. Fujimura S. Mol. Microbiol. 1998; 27: 51-61Crossref PubMed Scopus (102) Google Scholar), we also found that the rgpA rgpB mutant produced as much HbR as the wild type parent; however, the N terminus of the HbR from the rgpA rgpB mutant was Arg1155(the residue number of the kgp primary gene product according to Okamoto et al.; Ref. 7Okamoto K. Kadowaki T. Nakayama K. Yamamoto K. J. Biochem. (Tokyo). 1996; 120: 398-406Crossref PubMed Scopus (96) Google Scholar) instead of Ala1156, indicating that cleavage at the N terminus might be done by KGP in the mutant. In this study, we found that thergpA rgpB kgp triple mutant produced no 19-kDa HbR protein. Because the triple mutant produced mAb 61BG1.3-reactive proteins with high molecular masses, the hagA gene appears to be expressed in the triple mutant. Therefore, it is most likely that the processing and maturation of the HbR domain protein of hagA depend on the presence of both RGP and KGP activities. The finding that the hemoglobin binding activities of the various mutants were consistent with the presence or absence of HbR in the mutants indicates that the hemoglobin binding ability of P. gingivalis is caused mainly by HbR; however, Kuboniwa et al. (38Kuboniwa M. Amano A. Shizukuishi S. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1998; 249: 38-43Crossref PubMed Scopus (41) Google Scholar) recently reported that the KGP proteinase domain itself has the ability to bind hemoglobin. Hemagglutination is a distinctive characteristic of P. gingivalis that discriminates the microorganism from other asaccharolytic black-pigmented anaerobic organisms. This feature has been recognized to have taxonomic value, together with other important features such as the RGP and KGP activities, in distinguishing P. gingivalis from other Porphyromonas spp. BecauseP. gingivalis requires heme for growth, hemagglutination serves as the first step in heme acquisition from erythrocytes. We have previously found that the rgpA rgpB double (RGP-null) mutant showed decreased ability to agglutinate erythrocytes (3Nakayama K. Kadowaki T. Okamoto K. Yamamoto K. J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 23619-23626Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (217) Google Scholar). Pike et al. (36Pike R. McGraw W. Potempa J. Travis J. J. Biol. Chem. 1994; 269: 406-411Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar) also reported that the high molecular mass RGP has hemagglutinin activity. These results suggest that the rgpgenes are involved in hemagglutination. The hemagglutinin genehagA of P. gingivalis that confers hemagglutination on Escherichia coli cells was found to possess the DNA region homologous to those of the C-terminal adhesin domains of rgpA and kgp (16Han N. Whitlock J. Progulske-Fox A. Infect. Immun. 1996; 64: 4000-4007Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). Moreover, mAb 61BG1.3, which reacts with an epitope within the adhesin domains, inhibits the hemagglutination of P. gingivalis (20Booth V. Lehner T. J. Periodontal. Res. 1997; 32: 54-60Crossref PubMed Scopus (38) Google Scholar, 21Kelly C.G. Booth V. Kendal H. Slaney J.M. Curtis M.A. Lehner T. Clin. Exp. Immunol. 1997; 110: 285-291Crossref PubMed Scopus (51) Google Scholar). No hemagglutination of the rgpA kgp hagA triple mutant observed in this study suggests that all three genes are responsible for hemagglutination. In addition to the adhesin domain proteins, RGP proteinase derived from rgpB is thought to be involved in the hemagglutinating activity because the rgpA rgpB kgptriple mutants showed less than 1.6% of the activity of the wild type parent, whereas the rgpA kgp double mutant showed 6.3% of the activity of the wild type parent. There are at least two possible explanations for the involvement of RGP in hemagglutination. One is that because maturation of the adhesin domains requires RGP activity, a complete defect of RGP would decrease hemagglutination if maturation of the adhesin domains from hagA is required for the agglutination. The other is that RGP-mediated modification of putative erythrocyte surface molecule(s) for binding to P. gingivaliscells would be necessary for hemagglutination. Several other candidates such as fimbriae, HagB, and HagC have been proposed as a hemagglutinin of P. gingivalis (39Okuda K. Slots J. Genco R.J. Curr. Microbiol. 1981; 6: 7-12Crossref Scopus (101) Google Scholar, 40Slots J. Gibbons R.J. Infect. Immun. 1978; 19: 254-264Crossref PubMed Google Scholar, 41Progulske-Fox A. Tumwasorn S. Lepine G. Whitlock J. Savett D. Ferretti J.J. Banas J.A. Oral Microbiol. Immunol. 1995; 10: 311-318Crossref PubMed Scopus (56) Google Scholar). However, neither fimbriae nor anti-fimbria antibody inhibits hemagglutination (42Isogai H. Isogai E. Yoshimura F. Suzuki T. Kagota W. Takano K. Arch. Oral Biol. 1988; 33: 479-485Crossref PubMed Scopus (118) Google Scholar). Purified fimbriae have also been shown to exhibit no hemagglutinating activity (43Yoshimura F. Takahashi K. Nadasaka Y. Suzuki T. J. Bacteriol. 1984; 160: 949-957Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). In addition, we found that the rgpA kgp hagA mutant having no hemagglutinating activity expressed the fimA gene, resulting in fimbriation. 3Y. Shi, D. B. Ratnayake, A. Umeda, and K. Nakayama, unpublished observations. Taken together, it is unlikely that fimbriae are responsible for hemagglutination ofP. gingivalis, even if synthetic peptides derived from the amino acid sequence of fimbrilin possess hemagglutinating activity (44Ogawa T. Hamada S. Infect. Immun. 1994; 62: 3305-3310Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). The expression of hagB and hagC depends on the phase of bacterial growth and on the levels of hemin (45Lepine G. Progulske-Fox A. Oral Microbiol. Immun. 1996; 11: 65-78Crossref PubMed Scopus (45) Google Scholar). Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility that these genes contribute to the hemagglutination of P. gingivalis under conditions that differ from those used in this study. Although several problems concerning hemagglutination of P. gingivalis remain to be solved, it can be said that the non-HbR adhesin domain proteins encoded by rgpA, kgp, and hagA are the most important agglutinins for hemagglutination.
