The AprV5 subtilase is required for the optimal processing of all three extracellular serine proteases from Dichelobacter nodosus.
Dichelobacter nodosus is the principal causative agent of ovine footrot and its extracellular proteases are major virulence factors. Virulent isolates of D. nodosus secrete three subtilisin-like serine proteases: AprV2, AprV5 and BprV. These enzymes are each synthesized as precursor molecules that i...
