The interaction of lactoferrin with Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans was examined in a 125I-labeled protein binding assay. The binding of human and bovine lactoferrins reached maximum within 1 h. Lactoferrin binding to the bacterium was pH-dependent and reversible. Scatchard analysis indicated the existence of two different types of binding sites on the bacterium, one with a high affinity constant k alpha approximately 8.8 x 10(-7) M) and the other with a low one (k alpha approximately 1.8 x 10(-6) M). Bacteria in the exponential phase of growth showed higher binding than cells in the stationary phase. Bacteria grown in medium containing serum and/or lysed erythrocytes bound lactoferrin to a lesser extent. Heat-inactivated serum, lysed erythrocytes and other proteins such as mucin and laminin inhibited lactoferrin binding to A. actinomycetemcomitans in a competitive binding assay. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and Western blot analysis of the cell envelope as well as the outer membrane of A. actinomycetemcomitans revealed lactoferrin-reactive protein bands at 29 kDa and 16.5 kDa. The 29-kDa band displayed a heat-modifiable lactoferrin-reactive form with a molecular weight of 34 kDa. Neither proteinase K-treated cell envelope nor lipopolysaccharide of this bacterium showed reactivity with lactoferrin. These data suggests a specific interaction of lactoferrin with outer membrane proteins of A. actinomycetemcomitans.
