Because of the distinctive features of the oral cavity, the determination of the proteins involved in the formation of the oral protein pellicle is demanding. The present study investigated the susceptibility of several human basic proline-rich peptides, named P-H, P-D, P-F, P-J, and II-2, as substrates of transglutaminase-2. The reactivity of the P-C peptide and statherin was also investigated. Peptides purified from human whole saliva were incubated with the enzyme in the presence or in the absence of monodansyl-cadaverine. Mass spectrometry analyses of the reaction products highlighted that P-H and P-D (P-32 and A(32) variants) were active substrates, II-2 was less reactive, and P-F and P-J showed very low reactivity. P-C and statherin were highly reactive. All of the peptides formed cyclo derivatives, and only specific glutamine residues were involved in the cycle formation and reacted with monodansyl-cadaverine: Q(29) of P-H, Q(37) of P-D, Q(21) of II-2, Q(41) of P-C, and Q(37) of statherin were the principal reactive residues. One or two secondary glutamine residues of only P-H, P-D P-32, P-C, and statherin were hierarchically susceptible to the reaction with monodansyl-cadaverine. MS and MS/MS data were deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride) via the PRIDE partner repository with the data set identifier PXD014658.
