Description: The strains of P. gingivalis (W50 and 381), A. actinomycetemcomitans (Y4 and 67), S. gordonii (DL1), and S. mutans (GS5) are highly sensitive to this peptide at 1.5-3.0 microM concentrations, suggesting that the proline-rich repeat sequence is a potent bactericidal agent for oral pathogens. The bactericidal activity of the proline-rich repeat sequence suggests that bacterial colonization, facilitated by the adsorbed salivary mucins on tooth surface, could be partly controlled and cleared by proteolytically degraded proline-rich peptides of MG2 in saliva before the colonized organisms turn into pathogens. It appears that the poly-L-proline II helix is the biologically active backbone conformation for bactericidal activity of the tandem repeat sequences of salivary MG2.
