Domain structure and sequence distribution in dentin phosphophoryn.
Phosphophoryn (PP) is a protein unique to the mineralized matrix of dentin. It also has a unique composition, with aspartic acid and phosphoserine comprising greater than 85% of all amino acid residues. Because of this unique composition and high content of phosphoserine, it has been difficult to apply direct peptide sequencing procedures effectively. However, to understand its function, and to...
متن کاملDentin phosphophoryn promotes cellular migration of human dental pulp cells.
Dentin phosphophoryn (DPP) is a dentin sialophosphoprotein gene product that has an RGD motif and repeat sequences of aspartic acid and phosphoserine. To date, the function of DPP in the early stage of reparative dentin formation still remains unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of DPP on pulp cell migration and proliferation. DPP promoted cell migration in a concen...
متن کاملInduction of Reparative Dentin Formation on Exposed Dental Pulp by Dentin Phosphophoryn/Collagen Composite
The ultimate goal of vital pulp therapy is to regenerate rapidly dentin possessing an excellent quality using a biocompatible, bioactive agent. Dentin phosphophoryn (DPP), the most abundant noncollagenous polyanionic protein in dentin, cross-linked to atelocollagen fibrils was applied to direct pulp capping in rats. After 1, 2, and 3 weeks, the teeth applied were examined on the induction of re...
متن کاملHuman copper transporter 2 is localized in late endosomes and lysosomes and facilitates cellular copper uptake.
High-affinity cellular copper uptake is mediated by the CTR (copper transporter) 1 family of proteins. The highly homologous hCTR (human CTR) 2 protein has been identified, but its function in copper uptake is currently unknown. To characterize the role of hCTR2 in copper homoeostasis, epitope-tagged hCTR2 was transiently expressed in different cell lines. hCTR2-vsvG (vesicular-stomatitis-virus...
