STATH(Statherin)
A protein that promotes tooth remineralization and repairs decalcified enamel.
Statherin is a protein in humans that is encoded by the STATH gene. It prevents the precipitation of calcium phosphate in saliva, maintaining a high calcium level in saliva available for remineralization of tooth enamel and high phosphate levels for buffering.
Gene Construct of DenTeeth
We incorporate the whole biobrick into E. coli BL21(DE3). We did colony PCR and digest to check its genotype.
STATH Functional Test
Carbon rods are processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption. We expected that both STATH and calcium could adsorb on the surface of carbon rods, so we designed a test to observe the surface of carbon rods soaked in different solutions under the microscope.
We made four solutions configured to calcium ions saturated solutions by the calcium chloride solution, ddH2O, LB broth, DenTeeth, and E. coli with pSB1K3, in the tubes with the carbon rods stuck inside. After putting them into a 0°C refrigerator for 12 hours, the solutions would become calcium ions supersaturated solutions. In the DenTeeth, STATH would bind onto the surface of the carbon rod, preventing the calcium ions from binding onto it.
As for the precipitation on the bottom of tubes was the debris of bacteria, which was died of the broken cell membrane caused by the high concentration of calcium chloride solution.
The result in the following figure showed that the surface of the carbon rod taken out of the DenTeeth was matte compared with that in other solutions. We presumed that the result was due to the protective layer on the surface formed by the STATH that would prevent the liquid from attachment.
We can see the different conditions of calcium attachment on carbon rods after soaking in different calcium ions saturated solutions overnight in Figure 8. Picture A in figure 8 is the original carbon rod. We can observe many layer-like structures on its surface clearly. Since the original carbon rod hadn't soaked in any solution, no crystal of calcium can be seen on its surface. However, without soaking in any solution, there is some little dust smaller than crystal particles on its surface.
Picture B is the original carbon rod soaked in calcium ions saturated ddH2O. Obvious white particles can be observed on its surface. We presume the particles might be the crystal of calcium.
Picture C is the carbon rod soaked in calcium ions saturated LB Broth. There is a relatively big particle on the surface, in our opinion, is formed by calcium crystals.
The carbon rod soaked in calcium ions saturated E. coli DenTeeth is shown in Picture D. With STATH functioning, there are no particles be seen on the surface of the carbon rod and the surface remains clear. Besides, the surface of it is even cleaner than the original carbon rod. We suppose that is because this rod has been soaked in the solution, which will bring away the dust on its surface.
Carbon rod soaked in calcium ions saturated E. coli BL21(DE3) with pET32a. We chose this colony as one of our control groups since it has the same Kanamycin resistance as DenTeeth. There are many particles on its surface, which might be composed of calcium crystals.
