Highly acidic pH facilitates enamel protein self-assembly, apatite crystal growth and enamel protein interactions in the early enamel matrix

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Tooth enamel develops within a pH sensitive amelogenin-rich protein matrix. The purpose of the present study is to shed light on the intimate relationship between enamel matrix pH, enamel protein self-assembly, and enamel crystal growth during early ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of the intrinsically disordered protein amelogenin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Amelogenin refers to a class of intrinsically disordered proteins that are the major constituents of enamel matrix derivative (EMD), an extract of porcine fetal teeth used in regenerative periodontal therapy.

Dose-Dependent Rescue of KO Amelogenin Enamel by Transgenes in Vivo

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Mice lacking amelogenin (KO) have hypoplastic enamel. Overexpression of the most abundant amelogenin splice variant M180 and LRAP transgenes can substantially improve KO enamel, but only ~40% of the incisor thickness is recovered and the prisms are not ...

Evaluation of nucleosome forming potentials (NFPs) of forensically important STRs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Degraded forensic samples have proved difficult to analyze and interpret. New analysis techniques are constantly being discovered and improved but researchers have overlooked the structural properties that could prevent or slow the process of degradation.

New insights into the functions of enamel matrices in calcified tissues

open access: yesJapanese Dental Science Review, 2014
Ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix proteins, including amelogenin, ameloblastin, enamelin, amelotin, and Apin/odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (Apin/ODAM). Amelogenin is the major protein component of the enamel matrix.

Analysis of Co-assembly and Co-localization of Ameloblastin and Amelogenin

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2014
Epithelially-derived ameloblasts secrete extracellular matrix proteins including amelogenin, enamelin and ameloblastin. Complex intermolecular interactions among these proteins are believed to be important in controlling enamel formation. Here we provide

Minimal Amelogenin Domain for Enamel Formation

open access: yesJOM, 2021
Amelogenin is the most abundant matrix protein guiding hydroxyapatite formation in enamel, the durable bioceramic tissue that covers vertebrate teeth. Here, we sought to refine structure-function for an amelogenin domain based on in vitro data showing a 42 amino acid amelogenin-derived peptide (ADP7) mimicked formation of hydroxyapatite similar to that
