The nature of the hydroxyapatite-binding site in salivary acidic proline-rich proteins.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Protein A and C, which are major components of the acidic proline-rich proteins in human saliva, were digested, before or after adsorption to hydroxyapatite, with alkaline phosphatase, trypsin, thermolysin and a proteinase preparation from salivary sediment. The results demonstrate that the binding site is located in the proline-poor N-terminal part of the protein, possibly between residues 3 and 25. Phosphoserine is necessary for maximal adsorption of the proteins to hydroxyapatite. When proteins A and C are adsorbed to hydroxyapatite before proteolytic digestion there is a protection of some of the susceptible bonds in the N-terminal part of the proteins and a gradual removal of the proline-rich C-terminal part. Thermolysin can cleave susceptible bonds in the part of the protein that remains bound to hydroxyapatite, but at least some of the resulting peptides are retained on the mineral. Since the ability of the proteins to inhibit hydroxyapatite formation and to bind calcium is located in the N-terminal proline-poor part, it is possible that these activities are retained after proteolytic digestion of the adsorbed proteins.

Salivary proteins interact with dietary constituents to modulate tooth staining.
Dietary components rich in polyphenols-for example, tea and red wine-are thought to cause tooth staining. In the present study, hydroxyapatite was used as a model of enamel for study of the influence of salivary proteins on the binding of different polyphenols to hydroxyapatite in vitro. Neither salivary protein pellicles nor salivary proteins in solution significantly altered the binding of th...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of Actinomyces viscosus mutants defective in binding salivary proline-rich proteins.
Recent studies have provided evidence for human salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs) serving as potential receptors in the acquired pellicle for Actinomyces viscosus type 1 fimbriae. We report here the isolation of mutants derived from A. viscosus T14V-J1 which are defective in binding to PRPs partially purified from parotid gland saliva. Mutagenesis with ethyl methanesulfonate preceded enrich...
متن کاملBinding of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae to proline-rich glycoproteins in parotid saliva via a domain shared by major salivary components.
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a putative periodontopathogen, can bind to human saliva through its fimbriae. We previously found that salivary components from the submandibular and sublingual glands bind to P. gingivalis fimbriae and that acidic proline-rich protein (PRP) and statherin function as receptor molecules for fimbriae. In this study, we investigated the fimbria-binding components in parot...
متن کاملHuman salivary acidic proline-rich proteins and statherin promote the attachment of Actinomyces viscosus LY7 to apatitic surfaces.
Actinomyces viscosus LY7 cells adsorbed in high numbers to experimental pellicles formed on hydroxyapatite (HA) from human parotid or submandibular saliva but not to pellicles prepared from human plasma or serum. To determine the nature of the salivary components responsible for promoting adhesion, pellicles were prepared from fractions of submandibular and parotid saliva obtained by chromatogr...
متن کاملtannin-binding proteins in human saliva
Tannins have a number ofdetrimental biological effects and these include interference with normal growth and metabolism if they are present in the feed of various animals. Proline-rich proteins (PRPs) in saliva have been shown to provide protection against tannin, but little is known about the mechanism of protection and interaction of other salivary proteins with tannin. To identify tannin-bin...
