Abstract excerpt
We have previously used the yeast two-hybrid assay and multiple in vitro methodologies to show that amelogenin undergoes self-assembly involving two domains (A and B). Using transgenic animals, we show that unique enamel phenotypes result from disruptions to either the A- or B-domain, supporting the role of amelogenin in influencing enamel structural organization. By crossbreeding, animals bearing two defective...
