Figure 1.supplemental data. Amino acid sequences of sialidase/O-sialoglycoprotease genes of P. gingivalis showing various unique domains and motifs.
A. Amino acid sequence of PG0778 showing 4 transmembrane domains, two metal binding domains and one lectin binding carbohydrate domain. There is a twin arginine peptide signal at the 39th position coinciding with the cleavage and specific binding sites.
B. Amino acid sequence of PG0352 showing an inner domain, transmembrane domain and an outer domain. There is a specific exonuclease activity domain consisting of a FRIP region, a non catalytic lectin binding domain and a consensus Asp box domain spanning amino acid positions 182 to 240. The Asp box sequences in the protein are shown in an inset box with positions of their location. Non-specific DxxD (aspartic acid motifs) are noted in 7 positions. The transmembrane helix domain consists of signal peptide sequence and a cleavage site.
C. Amino acid sequence of PG1724 showing N terminal metalloprotease consensus domain bearing a cleavage site. Metal binding histidine domains are indicated at positions 113 and 290. A transmembrane domain spans position 136 to 152. Glycine rich motifs were found distributed throughout the protein. A lectin binding domain is indicated at positions 277 – 282.

A. Protein model of PG0778 showing terminal clef and molecular groove for optimal interaction. The model shows more hydrophilic regions suggestive of more active sites than the other O-sialoglycoprotease PG1724. The ribbon model showing the sheets forming end propeller and flanking helixes (1). The surface structure of the protein showing an interactive tunnel coinciding with the terminal cleft was shown.The hydrophilic areas in the protein are colored red (2-4).
B. Protein model of PG0352 showing a compact configuration with less hydrophilic
regions. The model shows the sialidase protein is a monomer containing six sheets (1 and 2). The protein surface show less hydrophilic regions (3 and 4).
C. Protein model of PG1724 showing end propeller structure (1 and 2) with a loose
confirmation with less hydrophilic regions on the surface of the protein (3 and 4).
