Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a component of mineralized tissues such as bone, dentin, cementum and calcified cartilage. BSP is a significant component of the bone extracellular matrix and has been suggested to constitute approximately 8% of all non-collagenous proteins found in bone and cementum.[1] BSP, a SIBLING protein, was originally isolated from bovine cortical bone as a 23-kDa glycopeptide with high sialic acid content, as described in separate reports by Williams and Peacocke[2] and Andrews and Herring[3]
Native BSP has an apparent molecular weight of 60-80 kDa based on SDS-PAGE, which is a considerable deviation from the predicted weight (based on cDNA sequence) of approximately 33 kDa.[4] The mammalian BSP cDNAs encode for proteins averaging 327 amino acids, which includes the 16-residue preprotein secretory signal peptide. Among the mammalian cDNAs currently characterized, there is an approximate 45% conservation of sequence identity and a further 10-23% conservative substitution. The protein is highly acidic (pKa of ~ 3.9)[5] and contains a large amount of Glu residues, constituting ~22% of the total amino acid.
Structure
Secondary structure prediction and hydrophobicity analyses suggest that the primary sequence of BSP has an open, flexible structure with the potential to form regions of α-helix and some β-sheet.[6] However, the majority of studies have demonstrated that BSP has no α-helical or β-sheet structure by 1D NMR[7][5] and circular dichroism.[8] Analysis of native protein by electron microscopy confirm that the protein has an extended structure approximately 40 nm in length.[9] This flexible conformation suggests that the protein has few structural domains, however it has been suggested that there may be several spatially-segmented functional domains including a hydrophobic collagen-binding domain (rattus norvegicus residues 36-57),[10] a hydroxyapatite-nucleating region of contiguous glutamic acid residues (rattus norvegicus residues 78-85, 155-164)[8] and a classical integrin-binding motif (RGD) near the C-terminal (rattus norvegicus residues 288-291).
BSP has been demonstrated to be extensively post-translationally modified, with carbohydrates and other modifications comprising approximately 50% of the molecular weight of the native protein.[11][12] These modifications, which include N- and O-linked glycosylation, tyrosine sulfation and serine and threonine phosphorylation, make the protein highly heterogeneous.
Function
The amount of BSP in bone and dentin is roughly equal,[13] however the function of BSP in these mineralized tissues is not known. One possibility is that BSP acts as a nucleus for the formation of the first apatite crystals.[14] As the apatite forms along the collagen fibres within the extracellular matrix, BSP could then help direct, redirect or inhibit the crystal growth.
Additional roles of BSP are MMP-2 activation, angiogenesis, and protection from complement-mediated cell lysis. Regulation of the BSP gene is important to bone matrix mineralization and tumor growth in bone.[15]
