摘要

DNA encoding the alanine-rich region (A-region) of the cell surface adhesin, P1, from Streptococcus mutans was subcloned and expressed as a fusion protein with the maltose-binding protein (MBP) of Escherichia coli. The A-region fusion protein was shown to competitively inhibit both adherence of S. mutans to salivary agglutinin-coated hydroxyapatite and fluid-phase agglutinin-mediated aggregation of this organism. MBP alone or an MBP-paramyosin fusion protein was not inhibitory. Proteolytic cleavage of the fusion protein into its component moieties, MBP and A-region, resulted in breakdown of the A-region into three main fragments. Western immunoblot analysis of calcium-dependent agglutinin binding to this preparation revealed binding specificity for a 28-kDa fragment. Thus, the A-region of P1 is an important domain which interacts directly with salivary agglutinin, and this interaction interferes with both the aggregation and the adherence mechanisms in vitro.
