Aim: The objective of this study is to demonstrate the molecular action of Porphyromonas gingivalis cysteine proteases such as gingipains (R1, R2 and K) upon human molecules. Materials and methods: Using the information on protein structure and function available in international databases (UniProtKB and Merops Database), the molecular interactions already described between gingipains and host molecules were clarified. Results: Possible cleavage sites were identified in host-produced elastase inhibitors and in pro-Matrix MetalloProteinase (MMP)1. Analysis of the results leads to the suggestion that the elastase inhibitor alpha1-antitrypsin is also degraded by interpain A, a cystein protease of Prevotella intermedia sharing a high homology w...
