Amelogenin undergoes self-assembly and plays an essential role in guiding enamel mineral formation. The Leucine-Rich Amelogenin Peptide (LRAP) is an alternative splice product of the amelogenin gene composed of the N-terminus (containing the only phosphate group) and C-terminus of full-length amelogenin. This study was conducted to further investigate the role of phosphorylation in LRAP self-assembly in the presence and absence of calcium using Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). Consistent with our prior dynamic light scattering findings for phosphorylated (+P) and non-phosphorylated (−P) LRAP, SAXS analyses revealed radii of gyration (Rg) for LRAP(−P) (46.3 – 48.0 Å) that were larger than those for LRAP(+P) (25.0 – 27.4 Å) at pH 7.4. However, added calcium (up to 2.5 mM) induced significant increases in the Rg of LRAP(+P) (up to 46.4 Å), while it had relatively little effect on LRAP(−P) particle size. Furthermore, SAXS analyses suggested compact folded structures for LRAP(−P) in the presence and absence of calcium, whereas LRAP(+P) conformation changed from an unfolded structure to a more compact structure upon calcium addition. We conclude that the single phosphate group in LRAP(+P) induces functionally important conformational changes, suggesting that phosphorylation may also influence amelogenin conformation and protein-mineral interactions during early stages of amelogenesis.
