Salivary proline-rich protein genes on chromosome 8 of mouse.
Endonuclease restriction (Hind III) fragments of DNA from Chinese hamster X mouse somatic cell hybrids hybridized with proline-rich protein complementary DNA clones only when the DNA was isolated from cells containing mouse chromosome 8, or a fragment of chromosome 8. The evidence suggests that proline-rich protein genes are located at the proximal portion of chromosome 8 toward the centromere.
متن کاملSusceptibility to Dental Caries and the Salivary Proline-Rich Proteins
Early childhood caries affects 28% of children aged 2-6 in the US and is not decreasing. There is a well-recognized need to identify susceptible children at birth. Caries-free adults neutralize bacterial acids in dental biofilms better than adults with severe caries. Saliva contains acidic and basic proline-rich proteins (PRPs) which attach to oral streptococci. The PRPs are encoded within a sm...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of gene PBI encoding a protein homologous to salivary proline-rich protein P-B.
The nucleotide sequence of gene PBI, the putative translational product of which is homologous to salivary proline-rich protein P-B, has been determined. PBI is 6.4 kb long and contains 3 exons. PBI appears to code for the precursor of a proline-rich protein which we have designated P-B1. The P-B1 precursor is composed of 134 amino acid residues including 22 residues of signal sequence, 23 resi...
متن کاملMultiple interactions between polyphenols and a salivary proline-rich protein repeat result in complexation and precipitation.
Polyphenols (tannins) in the diet not only precipitate oral proteins, producing an astringent sensation, but also interact with dietary proteins and digestive enzymes in the gut, resulting in a variety of antinutritive and toxic effects. Salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs), which are secreted into the oral cavity, form complexes with and precipitate dietary polyphenols, and thus, they constit...
متن کاملPatterns of soybean proline-rich protein gene expression.
The expression patterns of three members of a gene family that encodes proline-rich proteins in soybean (SbPRPs) were examined using in situ hybridization experiments. In most instances, the expression of SbPRP genes was intense in a limited number of cell types of a particular organ. SbPRP1 RNA was localized in several cell types of soybean hypocotyls, including cells within the phloem and xyl...
