Adherence of Actinomyces naeslundii ATCC 12104 to hydroxyapatite beads coated with protein fractions of parotid saliva, obtained by gel filtration on S-200 HR columns, showed GalNAcbeta1-3Galalpha-O-ethyl-inhibitable binding to high-molecular-weight proteins (Strömberg et al., 1992). The present study investigates the nature of these high-molecular-weight binding proteins and determines their specific ability to mediate adherence to representative strains of Actinomyces species. Strain ATCC 12104 bound specifically in a lactose-inhibitable manner to the heavy chain of secretory immunoglobulin A (S-IgA), contained within a high-molecular-weight parotid protein fraction separated on SDS-PAGE and transferred to a solid membrane support. Lactose-inhibitable binding to the heavy chain of S-IgA from human colostrum was also demonstrated. Peanut agglutinin bound to the heavy chain of parotid and colostrum S-IgAs contained on solid support membranes, confirming the presence of Galbeta1-3GalNAc residues on these molecules. Both salivary and colostrum S-IgA aggregated with strain ATCC 12104 in a GalNAcbeta1-3Galalpha-O-ethyl-inhibitable fashion. Further separation of high-molecular-weight salivary proteins on S-500 HR columns showed GalNAcbeta1-3Galalpha-O-ethyl-inhibitable binding to both mucin- and S-IgA-containing fractions. The presence of S-IgA in salivary pellicles formed in vivo on teeth was demonstrated by Western blot analysis of pellicle extracts with anti-IgA antibodies. Among strains representing A. naeslundii genospecies 1 and 2 and A. odontolyticus, only those of genospecies 1 with a particular adherence profile showed efficient GalNAcbeta1-3Galalpha-O-ethyl-inhibitable binding to S-IgA. Thus, oligosaccharides on S-IgA may promote bacterial aggregation (or adherence) and provide a mechanism by which S-IgA can interact with bacteria without prior immunological challenge.
