Porphyromonas gingivalis extracellular arginine- and lysine-specific proteinases have been implicated as major virulence factors in the development of adult periodontitis. We have previously purified a 48-kDa lysine-specific cysteine proteinase, designated PrtK48, from a P. gingivalis W50 cell-associated multiprotein complex. PrtK48 was non-covalently associated with three sequence-related adhesins designated PrtK39, PrtK15 and PrtK44 in the multiprotein complex. In this study we cloned and characterized the gene, designated prtK, that encodes a polyprotein that is post-translationally processed to yield the Lys-specific proteinase PrtK48 and the three sequence-related adhesins PrtK39, PrtK15 and PrtK44.
