Abstract: The type Ⅸ secretion system(T9SS) consists of at least 16 potential structural proteins and 4 transcription regulators. Porphyromonas gingivalis utilizes T9SS to transport many virulence factors, such as gingipain, across the outer membrane and attach them to the cell surface. This review focusses on the recent advances made in structural proteins and transcription regulators on the T9SS of Porphyromonas gingivalis and to provide further insight into the composition and function of T9SS translocon.

Key words: Porphyromonas gingivalis, type Ⅸ secretion system, structural protein, transcription regulators
