RESUMO

Binding of Streptococcus oralis glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) to Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae was characterized via a biomolecular interaction analysis system. The interaction was specific, and the association constant value was 4.34 × 107 M−1, suggesting that S. oralis GAPDH functions as a dominant receptor for P. gingivalis and contributes to P. gingivalis colonization.
