Abstract
The identification and localization of outer membrane proteins (Omps) and lipoproteins in pathogenic treponemes such as T. denticola (periodontitis) and T. pallidum (syphilis) has been challenging. In this study, label-free quantitative proteomics using MaxQuant was applied to naturally produced outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and cellular fractions to identify 1448 T. denticola proteins. Of these, 90 proteins were localized to the outer membrane (OM) comprising 59 lipoproteins, 25 β-barrel proteins, and six other putative OM-associated proteins. Twenty-eight lipoproteins were localized to the inner membrane (IM), and 43 proteins were assigned to the periplasm. The signal cleavage regions of ..
