A novel dipeptidylpeptidase (DPP-7) was purified from the membrane fraction of Porphyromonas gingivalis. This enzyme, with an apparent molecular mass of 76 kDa, has the specificity for both aliphatic and aromatic residues in the P1 position. Although it belongs to the serine class of peptidases, it does not resemble other known dipeptidylpeptidases. Interestingly, the amino acid sequence around the putative active site serine residue shows significant homology to the C-terminal region of the Staphylococcus aureus V-8 endopeptidase. In P. gingivalis, DPP-7 probably serves nutritional functions by providing dipeptides to this assaccharolytic bacterium.
