Actin-perturbing Activity of Treponema denticola Major Outer Sheath Protein (Msp) and Stress Fiber Formation/Stabilization by a Novel Peptide Conjugate Deduced from the Msp Sequence
The major outer sheath protein (Msp) is the most prominent surface antigen of the periodontal pathogen Treponema denticola. It mediates adhesion to extracellular matrix and dysregulation of cytoskeletal homeostasis of host cells. Disassembly of actin filaments and the coincident subcortical de novo...
