  • Tooth Enamel and Its Dynamic Protein Matrix
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Tooth Enamel and Its Dynamic Protein Matrix Ana Gil-Bona 1,2,* and Felicitas B. Bidlack 1,2,* 1 The Forsyth Institute, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA 2 Department of Developmental Biology, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA 02115, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (A.G.-B.); [email protected] (F.B.B.) Received: 26 May 2020; Accepted: 20 June 2020; Published: 23 June 2020 Abstract: Tooth enamel is the outer covering of tooth crowns, the hardest material in the mammalian body, yet fracture resistant. The extremely high content of 95 wt% calcium phosphate in healthy adult teeth is achieved through mineralization of a proteinaceous matrix that changes in abundance and composition. Enamel-specific proteins and proteases are known to be critical for proper enamel formation. Recent proteomics analyses revealed many other proteins with their roles in enamel formation yet to be unraveled. Although the exact protein composition of healthy tooth enamel is still unknown, it is apparent that compromised enamel deviates in amount and composition of its organic material. Why these differences affect both the mineralization process before tooth eruption and the properties of erupted teeth will become apparent as proteomics protocols are adjusted to the variability between species, tooth size, sample size and ephemeral organic content of forming teeth. This review summarizes the current knowledge and published proteomics data of healthy and diseased tooth enamel, including advancements in forensic applications and disease models in animals. A summary and discussion of the status quo highlights how recent proteomics findings advance our understating of the complexity and temporal changes of extracellular matrix composition during tooth enamel formation.

ABSTRACT The AMELX gene provides instructions for making a protein called amelogenin, which is essential for normal tooth development. Amelogenin is involved in the formation of enamel, which is the hard, white material that forms the protective outer layer of each tooth. Using molecular genetic techniques, we have shown that there is no evidence that the AMGX gene is deleted in this case of the Nance-Horan syndrome. In affected members of a Michigan kindred of Eastern European ancestry segregating X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta with a characteristic snow-capped enamel phenotype.

Abstract: The strategy developed for sex determination in skeletal remains is to amplify the highly degraded DNA, by use of primers that span short DNA fragments. To determine sex of unembalmed human cadaveric skeletal fragments from Sokoto, North-western Nigeria, using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). A single blind study of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based sex determination using amelogenin gene and alphoid repeats primers on unembalmed human cadaveric skeletal fragments from Sokoto, North-western Nigeria, was undertaken. With amelogenin gene, genetic sex identification was achieved in four samples only. PCR Sensitivity = 40%, Specificity = 100%, Predictive value of positive test = 100%, Predictive value of negative test = 25%, False positive rate = 0%, False negative rate = 150%, Efficiency of test = 50%. Fisher’s exact probability test P = 1. Z-test: z-value = -1.0955, p>0.05; not statistically significant. With alphoid repeats primers, correct genetic sex identification was achieved in all the samples. PCR Sensitivity = 100%, Specificity = 0%, Predictive value of positive test = 100%, Predictive value of negative test = 0%, False positive rate = 0%, False negative rate = 0%, Efficiency of test = 100%.

This investigation included enamel samples obtained from erupted and 5 non-erupted third molars with either TF grade 4-6 (n=7) fluorosis or no sign of fluorosis Departament of Cellular and (controls, n=7). The samples were kept frozen at -20 °C until protein extraction. Samples Molecular Biology and Bio-Agents were etched and processed with a cocktail of proteinase inhibitors and immediately Pathogens, Medical School of Ribeirão analyzed. Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time-Of-Flight/Time-of-Flight Mass Preto, USP - Universidade de São Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF) followed by MASCOT search aided the peptides analysis.

  • Ameloblastin and Amelogenin Expression in Posnatal Developing Mouse Molars
    27 Journal of Oral Science, Vol. 47, No. 1, 27-34, 2005 Original Ameloblastin and amelogenin expression in posnatal developing mouse molars María Angélica Torres-Quintana, Marcia Gaete, Marcela Hernandez, Marcela Farías and Nelson Lobos Department of Pathology, Dental School, University of Chile, Santiago, Chile (Received 4 September 2003 and accepted 14 January 2005) Abstract: Ameloblastin and amelogenin are structural proteins present in the enamel matrix of Introduction developing teeth. Here we report the results of in situ In the developing tooth crown, two mineralized matrices, hybridization analyses with DNA probes of ameloblastin dentin and enamel, are formed adjacent to each other by and amelogenin expression in the mandibular first two cell sheets, odontoblasts and ameloblasts. These cells molars of ICR/Jcl mice from postnatal day 1 to day 15. are derivatives of the neural ectomesenchyme and the oral Ameloblastin mRNA expression was observed in epithelium, respectively. The cell properties are the result ameloblasts at day 2 while amelogenin mRNA was of the mutual induction of several differentiation steps in detected in secretory ameloblasts at day 3. Significant both layers during development (1). expression of both molecules was observed at days 4, The ameloblast phenotype has been characterized by the 5 and 6, after which the levels decreased. Amelogenin expression of two main classes of proteins: the hydrophobic expression ended on day 10, while ameloblastin mRNA proteins known as amelogenins (2) and the non-amelogenin was only weakly detected on day 12. Neither amelogenin proteins. The latter include: 1) the anionic enamel proteins nor ameloblastin expression was observed in day 15 (enamelin, tuft protein, tuftelin and the sheath proteins: mouse molars.

  • A Comparison of Proteomic, Genomic, and Osteological Methods Of
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A comparison of proteomic, genomic, and osteological methods of archaeological sex estimation Tammy Buonasera1,2*, Jelmer Eerkens2, Alida de Flamingh3, Laurel Engbring4, Julia Yip1, Hongjie Li5, Randall Haas2, Diane DiGiuseppe6, Dave Grant6, Michelle Salemi7, Charlene Nijmeh8, Monica Arellano8, Alan Leventhal8,9, Brett Phinney7, Brian F. Byrd4, Ripan S. Malhi3,5,10 & Glendon Parker1* Sex estimation of skeletons is fundamental to many archaeological studies. Currently, three approaches are available to estimate sex–osteology, genomics, or proteomics, but little is known about the relative reliability of these methods in applied settings. We present matching osteological, shotgun-genomic, and proteomic data to estimate the sex of 55 individuals, each with an independent radiocarbon date between 2,440 and 100 cal BP, from two ancestral Ohlone sites in Central California. Sex estimation was possible in 100% of this burial sample using proteomics, in 91% using genomics, and in 51% using osteology. Agreement between the methods was high, however conficts did occur. Genomic sex estimates were 100% consistent with proteomic and osteological estimates when DNA reads were above 100,000 total sequences. However, more than half the samples had DNA read numbers below this threshold, producing high rates of confict with osteological and proteomic data where nine out of twenty conditional DNA sex estimates conficted with proteomics. While the DNA signal decreased by an order of magnitude in the older burial samples, there was no decrease in proteomic signal. We conclude that proteomics provides an important complement to osteological and shotgun-genomic sex estimation. Biological sex plays an important role in the human experience, correlating to lifespan, reproduction, and a wide range of other biological factors1–5.
