Identification of O-phosphoserine, O-phosphothreonine and gamma-carboxyglutamic acid in the non-collagenous proteins of bovine cementum; comparison with dentin, enamel and bone
Abstract
O-phosphoserine [Ser(P)], O-phosphothreonine [Thr(P)], and gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) have been identified in native, calcified cementum and in non-collagenous proteins which can be extracted from the tissue in EDTA at neutral pH. The concentrations of Ser(P) and Thr(P) and the amino acid composition of the EDTA extractable proteins are more similar to those found in bone than in dentin or enamel. The concentration of Gla in cementum is lower than it is in bone and higher than it is in enamel, which contains essentially no Gla. Based on the contents of Gla in these mineralized tissues and the distribution of alkaline and acid phosphatases in these tissues, it is speculated that Gla may be part of these or other proenzymes rather than being involved directly and structurally with the deposition of the mineral phase.
