Eikenella corrodens 1073, which has been shown to induce periodontal disease in experimental animals, was found to aggregate when mixed with human submandibular-sublingual (SM-SL) saliva. The purpose of this study was to isolate, purify and chemically characterize the substance that agglutinates E. corrodens cells (E. corrodens aggregating factor [Ec-AF]). Ec-AF was detected in SM-SL saliva of all the donors tested, whereas E. corrodens aggregating activity was not detected in parotid saliva. Ec-AF was purified from SM-SL saliva by ECTEQLA-cellulose column chromatography, ultrafiltration and gel filtration high performance liquid chromatography. An 81-fold increase in the specific activity of purified Ec-AF was achieved with a yield of 16.7%. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of Ec-AF in sodium dodecy) sulfate and β-mercaptoethanol produced a single protein band corresponding to a subunit molecular weight of 140 000. Treatment of an identical gel with periodic acid-Schiff reagent resulted in staining only of material coinciding with the Coomassie blue-staining band, indicating that the Ec-AF was a glycoprotein. Chemical analysis indicated that Ec-AF is composed of protein (27.3%), neutral sugars (30.3%), hexosamines (24.9%), and sialic acid (17.3%). The polypeptide backbones of Ec-AF contained 33% serine plus threonine and 36% proline plus alanine. The carbohydrate moety of Ec-AF consisted of N-acetylgalactosamine, galactose, fucose, sialic acid, N-acetylglucosamine, with their molar ratio being approximately 2:2:1:1:1, respectively.
