Streptococcus oralis is a member of the mitis group of oral streptococci and an early colonizer in dental plaque biofilm, a major cause of periodontal disease, dental caries, and other oral infections. S. oralis promotes biofilm growth by coaggregating in a mutualistic partnership with other early colonizers such as Actinomyces oris. For this cell-to-cell interaction, A. oris is known to use its sortase-dependent pilus (type 2), but whether S. oralis uses its PI-2 (pilus islet 2) pilus is still to be determined. The PI-2 pilus is predicted to have a heterodimeric structure consisting of two different protein subunits with their own location and function: the tip PitA pilin for adhesion and the backbone PitB pilin for length. Thus far, structural information remains incomplete about the role of PI-2 pili in the mutualistic mechanism between S. oralis and A. oris. We now report on the crystal structure analysis of PitA and PitB using X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering, and molecular docking studies. Accordingly, we propose a structural model for the PI-2 pilus, wherein repeating PitB subunits are arranged head-to-tail to form the long backbone structure with PitA on the outer tip. By performing both in vitro and in vivo experiments, we examined the role played by PitA in mediating the mutualistic interaction between S. oralis and A. oris, which appears to involve the coaggregation factor CafA. We also reveal that the galactose monosaccharide is a conceivable ligand for PitA and thereby might be used to inhibit coaggregation and control oral biofilm development.

FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedStreptococcus oralis is a member of the mitis group of oral streptococci and an early colonizer in dental plaque biofilm, a major cause of periodontal disease, dental caries, and other oral infections. S. oralis promotes biofilm growth by coaggregating in a mutualistic partnership with other early colonizers such as Actinomyces oris. For this cell-to-cell interaction, A. oris is known to use its sortase-dependent pilus (type 2), but whether S. oralis uses its PI-2 (pilus islet 2) pilus is still to be determined. The PI-2 pilus is predicted to have a heterodimeric structure consisting of two different protein subunits with their own location and function: the tip PitA pilin for adhesion and the backbone PitB pilin for length. Thus far, structural information remains incomplete about the role of PI-2 pili in the mutualistic mechanism between S. oralis and A. oris. We now report on the crystal structure analysis of PitA and PitB using X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering, and molecular docking studies. Accordingly, we propose a structural model for the PI-2 pilus, wherein repeating PitB subunits are arranged head-to-tail to form the long backbone structure with PitA on the outer tip. By performing both in vitro and in vivo experiments, we examined the role played by PitA in mediating the mutualistic interaction between S. oralis and A. oris, which appears to involve the coaggregation factor CafA. We also reveal that the galactose monosaccharide is a conceivable ligand for PitA and thereby might be used to inhibit coaggregation and control oral biofilm development.
