Specific Inhibition f Insoluble Glucan Synthase ( GTF - I ) by Maillard Reaction Products from Casein and Albumins

چکیده
The magnitude of the inhibitory actiyity in MRP from ct,-casein and the three aldoses correlated with the reactivity of the aldoses vrith pruteins. The MRP from x.-casein and albumins inhibited GTF-I and did not affect GTF-S, -'hile their origina] proteins stimulated GTF-I specifically, These results suggest that the inhibitory activity of these MRP may be related to the GTF-I st;mulating preperty of their original protelns.

Inhibition of Glucan Synthesis by Casein Polymers Crosslinked by Glutaraldehyde.
Glutaraldehyde-crosslinked α-casein polymers with molecular masses of 1-5×10(5) were found to inhibit adhesive insoluble glucan formation catalyzed by glucan synthases from Streptococcus sobrinus B13, a cariogenic oral bacterium. Of the three subcomponents of the glucan synthases tested, primer-dependent insoluble glucan synthase was inhibited specifically by the M r~2.7×10(5) polymer at a conc...
متن کاملEffects of antibodies against cell surface protein antigen PAc-glucosyltransferase fusion proteins on glucan synthesis and cell adhesion of Streptococcus mutans.
Cell surface protein antigen (PAc) and glucosyltransferases (GTFs) produced by Streptococcus mutans are considered to be major colonization factors of the organism, and the inhibition of these two factors is predicted to provide protection against dental caries. In this study, we have constructed fusion protein PAcA-GB, a fusion of the saliva-binding alanine-rich region (PAcA) of PAc with the g...
متن کاملInhibition of Glucan Synthesis by Flavipin-crosslinked Casein Polymers.
Mutastein, a casein polymer that inhibits insoluble glucan synthesis by Streptococcus sobrinus, was produced when Aspergillus terreus was grown in a medium containing α-casein. In these experiments, it was shown that flavipin (3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-methyl-o-phthalaldehyde) isolated from cultures of A. terreus caused polymerization of α-casein. Like mutastein, the polymerization products were activ...
متن کاملCloning of a Streptococcus mutans glucosyltransferase gene coding for insoluble glucan synthesis.
The gtfB gene coding for a glucosyltransferase (GTF) activity of Streptococcus mutans GS-5 was isolated on a 15.4-kilobase DNA fragment by using a lambda L47.1 gene library. The activity was catalyzed by gene products of 150 and 145 kilodaltons which reacted with antibodies directed against both soluble and insoluble glucan-synthesizing GTFs. The enzyme present in crude Escherichia coli extract...
متن کاملAntigenicity and immunogenicity of a synthetic peptide derived from a glucan-binding domain of mutans streptococcal glucosyltransferase.
The immunogenicity and antigenicity of a multiply antigenic peptide construct containing four copies of the synthetic peptide TGAQTIKGQKLYFKANGQQVKG were measured in rodents and humans, respectively. The composition of this peptide construct (termed GLU) was derived from a major repeating sequence in the C-terminal region of mutans streptococcal glucosyltransferases that synthesize water-insolu...
