The Post-translational Modifications of Human Salivary Peptides and Proteins Evidenced by Top-Down Platforms

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
In this review we extensively describe the main post-translational modifications that give rise to the multiple proteoforms characterized to date in the human salivary proteome and their potential role. Most of the data reported were obtained by our group in over twenty-five years of research carried out on human saliva mainly by applying a top-down ...

A Peptide Domain of Bovine Milk Lactoferrin Inhibits the Interaction between Streptococcal Surface Protein Antigen and a Salivary Agglutinin Peptide Domain [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2004
ABSTRACT The peptide domain of salivary agglutinin responsible for its interaction with cell surface protein antigen (PAc) of Streptococcus mutans or bovine lactoferrin was found in the same peptide, scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain peptide 2 (SRCRP2).

Modulation of Streptococcus mutans Adherence to Hydroxyapatite by Engineered Salivary Peptides

Microorganisms, 2022
Since the modification of the proteinaceous components of the Acquired Enamel Pellicle (AEP) could influence the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans, the most cariogenic bacteria, to dental surfaces, we assessed if engineered salivary peptides would affect ...

Antibody Responses Against Anopheles darlingi Immunogenic Peptides in Plasmodium Infected Humans

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Introduction: Malaria is still an important vector-borne disease in the New World tropics. Despite the recent decline in malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum infection in Africa, a rise in Plasmodium infections has been detected in several low malaria ...

Specific metallo-protein interactions and antimicrobial activity in Histatin-5, an intrinsically disordered salivary peptide [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractHistatin-5 (Hst-5) is an antimicrobial, salivary protein that is involved in the host defense system. Hst-5 has been proposed to bind functionally relevant zinc and copper but presents challenges in structural studies due to its disordered conformation in aqueous solution.

Tryptogalinin is a tick Kunitz serine protease inhibitor with a unique intrinsic disorder. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
A salivary proteome-transcriptome project on the hard tick Ixodes scapularis revealed that Kunitz peptides are the most abundant salivary proteins. Ticks use Kunitz peptides (among other salivary proteins) to combat host defense mechanisms and to obtain ...
