Inhibition of Tannerpin-M encoded by periodontal pathogens on serine proteases released by granulocytes by PAN Zihao, XU Jiawei, ZHOU Aiwu

“…It revealed that Tannerpin-M possessed a significantly elongated reactive center loop and could undergo the classical conformational transition from a stressed to a relaxed state.Conclusion·Tannerpin-M, derived from oral pathogenic bacteria, is a typical inhibitory Serpin, and can effectively inhibit the serine protease released by granulocytes, by which it may protect the oral pathogenic bacteria from attacks of the human immune system.…”
