Abstract

Enamel extracelluar matrix components play vital roles in controlling crystal nucleation and growth during enamel formation. We investigated the interaction between the 32 kDa enamelin fragment and amelogenin using immunochemical and biophysical methods. Immunoprecipitation studies revealed that the 32 kDa enamelin and amelogenin eluted together from a Protein A column. Dynamic light scattering results showed that the 32 kDa enamelin had a profound effect on amelogenin assembly at pH 8.0, causing partial dissociation of the nanospheres, in a dose-dependent manner. The appearance of an isodichroic point and the shifting and intensity decrease of the ellipticity minima in the circular dichroism spectra of amelogenin following the addition of the 32 kDa enamelin were indicative of conformational changes in amelogenin and of a direct interaction between the two macromolecules. Our results collectively demonstrate that the 32 kDa enamelin has a direct interaction with amelogenin in vitro. Our current studies provide novel insights into understanding possible cooperation between enamelin and amelogenin in macromolecular self-assembly and in controlling enamel mineral formation.

摘要

釉质细胞外基质成分在釉质形成过程中对控制晶体成核和生长起着至关重要的作用。我们使用免疫化学和生物物理方法研究了32 kDa釉原蛋白片段与釉蛋白之间的相互作用。免疫沉淀研究表明,32 kDa釉原蛋白和釉蛋白从蛋白A柱上一起洗脱。动态光散射结果显示,在pH 8.0时,32 kDa釉原蛋白对釉蛋白组装有显著影响,以剂量依赖的方式导致纳米球部分解离。添加32 kDa釉原蛋白后,釉原蛋白圆二色光谱中等吸收点的出现以及椭圆率最小值的位移和强度降低表明釉原蛋白发生了构象变化,且这两种大分子之间存在直接相互作用。我们的结果共同表明,32 kDa釉原蛋白在体外与釉蛋白有直接相互作用。我们目前的研究为理解釉原蛋白和釉蛋白在大分子自组装以及控制釉质矿化形成过程中可能的协同作用提供了新的见解。
