英文摘要
Streptococcus mutans is recognized as the principal etiologic agent of
dental caries. The most prominent virulence factors of S. mutans include
its aciduricity, and its ability to synthesize glucans which promote
adherence to the tooth surface. Recent studies have demonstrated the
complexity of the mechanisms of adhesion and aggregation. S. mutans
species have at least three glucosyltransferase (GTF) enzymes which are
capable of synthesizing various forms of glucan. Additionally, the
glucan-binding protein (GBP) of S. mutans, which appears to be unique to
this species, has been hypothesized to contribute to adhesion and the
formation of cohesive plaque. This proposal seeks to determine the role
of GBP in binding glucans to the cell surface. In particular, the
expression of GBP will be related to sucrose availability, and the
binding ability of GBP at the cell surface and to various forms of glucan
will be tested in order to evaluate the relative contributions of GBP,
glucan polymers, and GTFs in adhesion and plaque formation. To meet
these objectives the following specific aims are proposed: 1) Relate the
level of GBP expression to sucrose availability and other environmental
parameters such as pH and anaerobiosis. 2) Determine the functional
similarity of the GBP and GTF repeat regions. Specifically, fusion
proteins will be created by exchanging the repeat regions to determine
the effects on glucan binding and GTF enzymatic activity. 3) Use
synthesized oligopeptides to competitively inhibit the binding of GBP to
glucans and thereby evaluate the relative importance of different domains
of GBP to glucan binding. 4) Test the hypothesis that GBP and GTFs act as
bridges between soluble and insoluble glucan adherence on the cell
surface. 5) Clone and characterize the gene for the glucan-binding lectin
(GBL) of Streptococcus downei. Determine the evolutionary relatedness of
gbl and gbp, and the structural and functional similarities of their
encoded protein products. The results from these experiments should lead
to a better understanding of how the glucan binding proteins of the
mutans streptococci contribute to plaque formation and the caries
process.
