A moonlighting serpin of Tannerella forsythia compromises the bactericidal activity of neutrophils

Savannah C Morris, Florian Veillard, Danuta Mizgalska, Mariusz Madej, Małgorzata Benedyk‐Machaczka, Justyna Folkert, Barbara Aleksandra Potempa, Andrew Fuchs, Jan Potempa, Juhi Bagaitkar

This study identifies miropin, a prokaryotic serpin from Tannerella forsythia, which suppresses neutrophil antimicrobial activity by inhibiting serine proteases and myeloperoxidase, promoting bacterial survival in vivo.

Innocent until proven guilty: Tannerella forsythia may attenuate the virulence of Porphyromonas gingivalis

Mirosław Książęk, Małgorzata Benedyk‐Machaczka, Alicja Sochaj-Grzegorczyk, Danuta Mizgalska, Irena Waligórska, Magdalena Nowak, Anna Kaczor, Barbara Potempa, Andrew Fuchs, Ida B. Thøgersen, Jan J. Enghild, Carsten Scavenius, Piotr Mateusz Mydel, Juhi Bagaitkar, Jan Potempa

This study shows that Tannerella forsythia's miropin inhibits Porphyromonas gingivalis proteases, reducing its virulence and challenging Tf's role as a pathogen.
