Comparison of calcification between Bacterionema matruchotii and Actinomyces naeslundii.

The purpose of this research was to examine the requirements for proteolipid initiation of calcification in culture. Proteolipid from a calcifiable microorganism, Bacterionema matruchotii, was compared with proteolipid isolated from a non-calcifiable microorganism, Actinomyces naeslundii. Although A. naeslundii does not calcify in culture, lyophilized cells and proteolipid-containing extracts do initiate apatite formation. A. naeslundii proteolipid (ANN) differs from B. matruchotii (BMN) in concentration, apoprotein polarity, and phospholipid composition. These differences may alter the ability of ANN to nucleate apatite in the intact cell.

Characterization of calculus matrix calcification nucleator.

The nucleator of dental calculus matrix calcification, in vitro, was analyzed. Attention focused on proteolipid singularity, amino acid composition and related polarity, and phospholipid components. The data were compared to those of the nucleator of Bacterionema matruchotii calcification.

Characterization of Bacterionema matruchotii calcification nucleator.

The nucleator of Bacterionema matruchotii calcification was characterized. Parameters examined were: proteolipid purity and singularity, amino acid composition and relative polarity, phospholipid composition, apoprotein homogeneity, essentiality of the complex for nucleation, and ordered structure. The data fulfill a requirement for comparisons among apatite-nucleating proteolipids.

Proteolipid and bone matrix calcification in vitro.

Proteolipid was demonstrated to contain the nucleator of bone matrix calcification, in vitro. Crude phospholipid extracted from bone matrix was fractionated by gel filtration. A single, protein-containing fraction induced apatite crystallization in a metastable calcium phosphate solution. The fraction was identified as proteolipid. The result supports the validity of a microbiologic analogue for vertebrate calcification.

Nucleation of microbiologic calcification by proteolipid.

The component of crude phospholipid responsible for B. matruchotii calcification was isolated. Crude phospholipid, extracted from the microorganism, was separated into five fractions by column chromatography. A single, protein-containing fraction catalyzed apatite formation in a metastable calcium phosphate solution. The nucleating fraction was identified as a proteolipid.
