Lysosomal protease expression in mature enamel.
The enamel matrix proteins (amelogenin, enamelin and ameloblastin) are degraded by matrix metalloproteinase-20 and kallikrein-4 during enamel development and mature enamel is virtually protein free. The precise mechanism of removal and degradation of the enamel protein cleavage products from the matrix, however, remains poorly understood. It has been proposed that receptor-mediated endocytosis ...
متن کاملRecovery and identification of mature enamel proteins in ancient teeth.
Proteins in mineralized tissues provide a window to the past, and dental enamel is peculiar in being highly resistant to diagenesis and providing information on a very narrow window of time, such as the developing period; however, to date, complete proteins have not been extracted successfully from ancient teeth. In this work we tested the ability of a whole-crown micro-etch technique to obtain...
متن کاملA lysosomal protease enters the death scene.
The definition of lysosomes as cellular “suicide bags” derives from DeDuve’s early work on fractionation and identification of cellular organelles. Since lysosomes contain degradative systems for proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, it seemed natural that they should participate in cellular death and dismantling. But the last five years have seen a rapid advance in our understanding of the gene...
متن کاملFSH stimulates the expression of the ADAMTS-16 protease in mature human ovarian follicles.
We report the characterization of full-length human ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs)-16, a novel member of the disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (hence ADAMTS) family. ADAMTS-16 is highly expressed both in the kidney and in the ovary, where it is predominantly expressed in the parietal granulosa cells of pre-ovulatory follicles b...
متن کاملPeptide Characterization of Mature Fluorotic and Control Human Enamel.
Exposure to high fluoride levels during amelogenesis causes enamel fluorosis. This study aimed to determine and compare the amino acid sequences in the enamel of fluorotic and control teeth. This investigation included enamel samples obtained from erupted and non-erupted third molars with either TF grade 4-6 (n=7) fluorosis or no sign of fluorosis (controls, n=7). The samples were kept frozen a...
