Fusobacterium nucleatumacts as an intermediate between early and late colonizers in the oral cavity. In this study, we showed thatF. nucleatumsubsp.polymorphumcan bind to a salivary component with a molecular weight of approximately 110 kDa and identified the protein and another major factor of 55 kDa, as salivary α‐amylase by time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry and immuno‐reactions. Salivary α‐amylase is present in both monomeric and dimeric forms and we found that formation of the dimer depends on copper ions. TheF. nucleatumadhered to both monomeric and dimeric salivary α‐amylases, but the numbers of bacteria bound to the dimeric form were more than those bound to the monomeric form. The degree of adherence ofF. nucleatumto four α‐amylases from different sources was almost the same, however its binding to β‐amylase was considerably decreased. Among four α‐amylase inhibitors tested, acarbose and type 1 and 3 inhibitors derived from wheat flour showed significant activity against the adhesion ofF.nucleatumto monomeric and dimeric amylases, however voglibose had little effect. MoreoverF. nucleatumcells inhibited the enzymatic activity of salivary α‐amylase in a dose‐dependent manner. These results suggest thatF. nucleatumplays more important and positive role as an early colonizer for maturation of oral microbial colonization.
