Abstract
Neuromelanin, a dark brown intracellular pigment, has long been associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). In PD, neuromelanin-containing neurons preferentially degenerate, tell-tale neuropathological inclusions form in close association with this pigment, and neuroinflammation is restricted to neuromelanin-containing areas. In humans, neuromelanin accumulates with age, which in turn is the main risk factor for PD. The potential contribution of neuromelanin to PD pathogenesis remains unknown because, in contrast to humans, common laboratory animals lack neuromelanin. The recent introduction of a rodent model exhibiting an age-dependent production of human-like neuromelanin has allowed, for the first time, for the consequences of progressive neuromelanin accumulation-up to levels reached in elderly human brains-to be assessed in vivo. In these animals, intracellular neuromelanin accumulation above a specific threshold compromises neuronal function and triggers a PD-like pathology. As neuromelanin levels reach this threshold in PD patients and presymptomatic PD patients, the modulation of neuromelanin accumulation could provide a therapeutic benefit for PD patients and delay brain aging. © 2019 The Author.

Tyrosinase inhibitory effects of Vinca major and its secondary metabolites: Enzyme kinetics and in silico inhibition model of the metabolites validated by pharmacophore modelling. Bioorg Chem 2019; 92:103259. [PMID: 31518762 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2019.103259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2019] [Revised: 07/09/2019] [Accepted: 09/04/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
In the present study, we aimed to identify the tyrosinase enzyme inhibitory potential of Vinca major L. extract and its secondary metabolites. The extract possessed remarkable tyrosinase enzyme inhibitory effect with IC50 value of 20.39 ± 0.44 µg/mL compared to the positive control, kojic acid (IC50 8.56 ± 0.17 µg/mL). Compounds 1 and 5 were the most potent isolates with IC50 values of 32.41 ± 0.99 and 31.34 ± 0.75 µM, they were more potent than kojic acid (IC50: 60.25 ± 0.54 µM). Compound 2 also exhibited remarkable tyrosinase inhibition with an IC50 value of 64.51 ± 1.29 µM. An enzyme kinetics analysis revealed that 1 was a mixed-type, 2 and 5 were noncompetitive inhibitors. Using molecular docking, we predicted binding affinity and interactions of the compounds, which were in good alignment with a pharmacophore hypothesis generated out of a number of known tyrosinase inhibitors. The modelling studies underlined crucial interactions with the copper ions and residues around them such as Asn260, His263, and Met280.

Abstract
Grapes are known to contain high quantity of polyphenolic compounds, including caffeic, coumaric and ferulic acids esterified with tartaric acid, to yield caftaric, coutaric and fertaric acids, respectively. These acids are more abundant in unripe grapes, which can be processed into verjuice, a product that shows intrinsic resistance against microbial growth and significant antioxidant activity. In the present work, the isolation of hydroxycinnamoyl tartaric acids from unripe grape juice by chromatographic techniques was described. Moreover, the capability of caftaric acid to inhibit tyrosinase activity was evaluated by spectrophotometric assays. According to the kinetics parameters calculated, caftaric acid was shown to be a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase, more potent than the related caffeic and chlorogenic acids, suggesting that it can be used in cosmetic and food industries for the development of natural skin whitening formulations and as an agent able to counteract the enzymatic browning of food.

Abstract
In traditional medicine, natural silk is regarded as a cognitive enhancer and a cure for ameliorating the symptoms of heart disease, atherosclerosis, and metabolic disorders. In this review, general characteristics of both silk proteins, fibroin and sericin, extracted from silkworm Bombyx mori and their potential use in the neuronal disorders was discussed. Evidence shows that silk proteins exhibit neuroprotective effects in models of neurotoxicity. The antioxidant, neuroprotective, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory mechanisms of silk proteins could prove promising in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Owing to their excellent neurocompatibility and physicochemical properties, silk proteins have been used as scaffolds and drug delivery materials in the neuronal tissue engineering. These data support the potential of silk proteins as an effective complementary agent for central and peripheral neurological disorders.

Abstract
Compared to conventional wound closure methods like sutures and staples, polymer-based tissue adhesives afford some distinct advantages, such as greater ease of deployment in spatially constrained surgical sites. One way to achieve aqueous adhesion is by introducing catechol functional groups that form coordinate and covalent bonds with a variety of substrates. This approach, inspired by marine organisms, has been applied to biopolymers and synthetic polymers, but one key challenge is that compositions that are soluble in water are often susceptible to high swelling ratios that can result in undesired compression of neighboring tissues. This work sought to synthesize aqueous adhesive gels that are capable of two modes of association: (1) adhesion and covalent cross-linking reactions arising from catechol oxidation and (2) noncovalent cross-linking arising from self-assembly of polymer backbones within the gelled adhesive. The network's self-assembly after gelation was envisioned to afford control over swelling and reinforce its strength. Bombyx mori silk fibroin was selected as the backbone of the adhesive network because it can be processed into an aqueous solution yet later be rendered insoluble in water through the assembly of its hydrophobic protein core. Distinct from a previous approach to functionalize silk directly with catechol groups, this work investigated in situ generation of catechol on silk fibroin by enzymatically modifying phenolic side chains, where it was found that this enzymatic approach led to conjugates with higher degrees of catechol functionalization and aqueous solubility. Silk fibroin was functionalized with tyramine to enrich the protein's phenolic side chains, which were subsequently oxidized into catechol groups using mushroom tyrosinase (MT). The gelation of the silk conjugates with MT was monitored by rheology, and the gels exhibited low water uptake. Phenolic enrichment increased the rate of chemical cross-linking leading to gelation but did not interrupt assembly of silk's secondary structures. Adhesion of the tyramine-silk conjugates to porcine intestine was found to be superior to fibrin sealant, and induction of β sheet secondary structures was found to further enhance adhesive strength through a second mode of cross-linking. Neither the chemical functionalization nor phenol oxidation affected the ability of intestinal epithelial cells (Caco-2) to attach and proliferate. Phenolic functionalization and oxidative cross-linking of silk fibroin was found to afford a new route to water-soluble, catechol-functionalized polymers, which were found to display excellent adhesion to mucosal tissue and whose secondary structure provides an additional mode to control strength and swelling of adhesive gels.

Abstract
Peptides with suitable substrate properties for a specific tyrosinase are selected by combinatorial means from a one-bead-one-compound (OBOC) peptide library. The identified sequences exhibit tyrosine residues that are rapidly oxidized to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa), making the peptides interesting for enzyme-activated adhesives. The selection process of peptides involves tyrosinase oxidation of tyrosine-bearing sequences on a solid support, yielding dopaquinone residues (fish from the sequence pool), to which thiol-functional fluorescent probes attach by Michael-reaction (clip to mark). Labeled supports are isolated and sequence readout is feasible by MALDI-TOF-MS/MS to reveal peptides, while activation kinetics as well as enzyme-activated coating behavior are verifying the proper selection.

Abstract
The development of Tyrosinase inhibitors (TYRIs) could represent an efficacious strategy for pharmacological intervention on skin pathologies related to aberrant production of melanin. Based on in silico studies we designed and tested a library of twenty-four compounds bearing the 4-(4-fluorobenzyl)piperazin-1-yl]-fragment. As result, we identified several compounds with excellent inhibit effects at low micromolar concentration against TYR from Agaricus bisporus (TyM). Among them, compound 25 (IC50 = 0.96 μM) proved to be ∼20-fold more potent than the reference compound kojic acid (IC50 = 17.76 μM) having wide applications in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. The mode of interaction of active inhibitor 25 was deciphered by means of crystallography as well as molecular docking and these results were consistent with kinetic experiments. Moreover, the identified compound 25 exhibited no considerable cytotoxicity and showed anti-melanogenic effects on B16F10 melanoma cells. Therefore, a combination of computational and biochemical approaches could represent a rational guidelines for further structural modification of this class of compounds as future anti-melanogenic agents.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is the key enzyme that controls melanin formation. We found that a hot water extract of the lyophilized fruiting body of the fungus Lyophyllum decastes inhibited tyrosinase from Agaricus bisporus. The extract was fractionated by ODS column chromatography, and an active compound was obtained by purification through successive preparative HPLC using an ODS and a HILIC column. Using spectroscopic data, the compound was identified to be an uncommon amino acid, 6-hydroxytryptophan. 6-Hydroxy-L-tryptophan and 6-hydroxy-D-tryptophan were prepared through a Fenton reaction from L-tryptophan and D-tryptophan, respectively. The active compound was determined to be 6-hydroxy-L-tryptophan by comparison of their circular dichroism spectra and retention time on HPLC analysis of the Nα-(5-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl)-L-leuciamide derivative with those of 6-hydroxy-L-tryptophan and 6-hydroxy-D-tryptophan. A Lineweaver-Burk plot of the enzyme reaction in the presence of 6-hydroxy-L-tryptophan indicated that this compound was a competitive inhibitor. The IC50 values of 6-hydroxy-L-tryptophan was 0.23 mM.

Abstract
A recently discovered lectin-like protein from mushroom tyrosinase designated as orf239342 inhibits proliferation of the MCF-7 breast cancer cells. This characteristic is likely derived from its ability to recognize sugar entity on the cell surface. Thereby, the binding specificity of orf239342 to sugars was studied. Orf239342 was found to bind specifically to mannose upon analysis with the surface plasmon resonance technique. Finally, our in vitro study showed that mannose impeded orf239342 ability to inhibit proliferation of the MCF-7 breast cancer cells, providing further evidence for the mannose binding onto the protein. Our finding is a breakthrough to characterise orf239342 i.e. to define its functioning in the mushroom, association to the tyrosinase, or even possible application in breast cancer therapy. In addition, the finding allows the more appropriate designation of the protein as Agaricus bisporus mannose binding-protein (AbMb).

Abstract
The Byssus, which is derived from the foot gland of mussels, has been proved to bind heavy metals effectively, but few studies have focused on the molecular mechanisms behind the accumulation of heavy metals by the byssus. In this study, we integrated high-throughput transcriptome and proteome sequencing to construct a comprehensive protein database for the byssus of Chinese green mussel (Perna viridis), aiming at providing novel insights into the molecular mechanisms by which the byssus binds to heavy metals. Illumina transcriptome sequencing generated a total of 55,670,668 reads. After filtration, we obtained 53,047,718 clean reads and subjected them to de novo assembly using Trinity software. Finally, we annotated 73,264 unigenes and predicted a total of 34,298 protein coding sequences. Moreover, byssal samples were analyzed by proteome sequencing, with the translated protein database from the foot transcriptome as the reference for further prediction of byssal proteins. We eventually determined 187 protein sequences in the byssus, of which 181 proteins are reported for the first time. Interestingly, we observed that many of these byssal proteins are rich in histidine or cysteine residues, which may contribute to the byssal accumulation of heavy metals. Finally, we picked one representative protein, Pvfp-5-1, for recombinant protein synthesis and experimental verification of its efficient binding to cadmium (Cd2+) ions.

Abstract
Corneal transplantation is the most successful solid organ transplantation performed in humans. The extraordinary success of orthotopic corneal allografts, in both humans and experimental animals, is related to the phenomenon of "immune privilege". Inflammation is self-regulated to preserve ocular functions because the eye has immune privilege. At present, three major mechanisms are considered to provide immune privilege in corneal transplantation: 1) anatomical, cellular, and molecular barriers in the cornea; 2) tolerance related to anterior chamber-associated immune deviation and regulatory T cells; and 3) an immunosuppressive intraocular microenvironment. This review describes the mechanisms of immune privilege that have been elucidated from animal models of ocular inflammation, especially those involving corneal transplantation, and its relevance for the clinic. An update on molecular, cellular, and neural interactions in local and systemic immune regulation is provided. Therapeutic strategies for restoring immune privilege are also discussed.

Abstract
Tyrosinase (TYR) which can catalyze the oxidation of catechol is recognized as a significant biomarker of melanocytic lesions, thus developing powerful methods for the determination of TYR activity is highly desirable for the early diagnosis of melanin-related diseases, including melanoma. Herein, we develop a novel portable and recyclable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor, prepared by assembling gold nanoparticles and p-thiol catechol ( p-TC) on an ITO electrode, for detecting TYR activity via the SERS spectral variation caused by the conversion of p-TC into its corresponding quinone under TYR catalysis. The developed SERS sensor has a rapid response to TYR within 1 min under the optimized conditions and shows high selectivity for TYR with the detection limit at 0.07 U/mL. Importantly, this SERS sensor can be easily regulated by applying negative voltage to achieve circular utilization, favoring the automation of SERS detection. Furthermore, the presented recyclable SERS sensor can perform well on both the determination of TYR activity in serum and the assessment of TYR inhibitor, demonstrating huge potential in the sensitive, selective, and facile detection of TYR activity for disease diagnosis and drug screening related with TYR.

Abstract
Phenoloxidase (PO) plays a key role in melanin biosynthesis during insect development. Here, we isolated the 2310-bp full-length cDNA of PPO1 from Zeugodacus tau, a destructive horticultural pest. qRT-polymerase chain reaction showed that the ZtPPO1 transcripts were highly expressed during larval-prepupal transition and in the haemolymph. When the larvae were fed a 1.66% kojic acid (KA)-containing diet, the levels of the ZtPPO1 transcripts significantly increased by 2.79- and 3.39-fold in the whole larvae and cuticles, respectively, while the corresponding PO activity was significantly reduced; in addition, the larval and pupal durations were significantly prolonged; pupal weights were lowered; and abnormal phenotypes were observed. An in vitro inhibition experiment indicated that KA was an effective competitive inhibitor of PO in Z. tau. Additionally, the functional analysis showed that 20E could significantly up-regulate the expression of ZtPPO1, induce lower pupal weight, and advance pupation. Knockdown of the ZtPPO1 gene by RNAi significantly decreased mRNA levels after 24 h and led to low pupation rates and incomplete pupae with abnormal phenotypes during the larval-pupal interim period. These results proved that PO is important for the normal growth of Z. tau and that KA can disrupt the development of this pest insect.

Abstract
The present paper describes the preparation and characterization of a graphene, chitosan, platinum nanoparticles and tyrosinase-based bionanocomposite film deposited on the surface of a screen-printed carbon electrode for the detection of L-tyrosine by voltammetry. The redox process on the biosensor surface is associated with the enzymatic oxidation of L-tyrosine, which is favoured by graphene and platinum nanoparticles that increase electrical conductivity and the electron transfer rate. Chitosan ensures the biocompatibility between the tyrosinase enzyme and the solid matrix, as well as a series of complex interactions for an efficient immobilization of the biocatalyst. Experimental conditions were optimized so that the analytical performances of the biosensor were maximal for L-tyrosine detection. By using square wave voltammetry as the detection method, a very low detection limit (4.75 × 10−8 M), a vast linearity domain (0.1–100 μM) and a high affinity of the enzyme for the substrate (KMapp is 53.4 μM) were obtained. The repeatability of the voltammetric response, the stability, and the reduced interference of the chemical species present in the sample prove that this biosensor is an excellent tool to be used in bioanalysis. L-tyrosine detection in medical and pharmaceutical samples was performed with very good results, the analytical recovery values obtained being between 99.5% and 101%. The analytical method based on biosensor was validated by the standard method of analysis, the differences observed being statistically insignificant at the 99% confidence level.

Abstract
In Parkinson's disease (PD) there is a selective degeneration of neuromelanin-containing neurons, especially substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons. In humans, neuromelanin accumulates with age, the latter being the main risk factor for PD. The contribution of neuromelanin to PD pathogenesis remains unknown because, unlike humans, common laboratory animals lack neuromelanin. Synthesis of peripheral melanins is mediated by tyrosinase, an enzyme also present at low levels in the brain. Here we report that overexpression of human tyrosinase in rat substantia nigra results in age-dependent production of human-like neuromelanin within nigral dopaminergic neurons, up to levels reached in elderly humans. In these animals, intracellular neuromelanin accumulation above a specific threshold is associated to an age-dependent PD phenotype, including hypokinesia, Lewy body-like formation and nigrostriatal neurodegeneration. Enhancing lysosomal proteostasis reduces intracellular neuromelanin and prevents neurodegeneration in tyrosinase-overexpressing animals. Our results suggest that intracellular neuromelanin levels may set the threshold for the initiation of PD.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence and adverse environmental and health-related impacts of various types of emerging contaminants (ECs) have become an issue of high concern. With ever increasing scientific knowledge, socio-economic awareness, health-related problems and ecological apprehensions, people are more concerned about the widespread ECs, around the globe. Among ECs, biologically active compounds from pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical, biomedical, personal care products (PPCPs), endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and flame-retardants are of paramount concern. The presence and persistence of ECs in water bodies are of continued and burning interest, worldwide. Various types of ECs are being discharged knowingly/unknowingly with/without partial treatments into the aquatic environments that pose serious health issues and affects the entire living ecosystem. So far, various approaches have been developed for ECs degradation and removal to diminish their adverse impact. Many previous and/or ongoing studies have focused on contaminants degradation and efficient removal via numerous treatment strategies, i.e. (1) physical, (2) chemical and (3) biological. However, the experimental evidence is lacking to enable specific predictions about ECs mechanistic degradation and removal fate across various in-practice systems. In this context, the deployment oxidoreductases such as peroxidases (lignin peroxidases, manganese-dependent peroxidases, and horseradish peroxidase), aromatic dioxygenases, various oxygenases, laccases, and tyrosinases have received considerable research attention. Immobilization is highlighted as a promising approach to improve enzyme catalytic performance and stabilization, as well as, to protect the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme against the undesirable consequences of harsh reaction environment. This work overviews the current and state-of-the-art critical aspect related to hazardous pollutants at large and ECs in particular by the immobilized oxidoreductase enzymes. The first part of the review focuses on the occurrence, physiochemical behavior, potent sources and significant routes of ECs. Following that, environmentally-related adverse impacts and health-related issues of ECs are discussed in the second part. In the third part, biodegradation and removal strategies with a comparative overview of several conventional vs. non-conventional methods are presented briefly. The fourth part majorly focuses on operational modes of different oxidoreductase enzyme-based biocatalytic processes for the biodegradation and biotransformation of a wide array of harmful environmental contaminants. Finally, the left behind research gaps, concluding remarks as well as future trends and recommendations in the use of carrier-immobilized oxidoreductases for environmental perspective are also discussed.

Abstract
Melanoma is malignant skin cancer occurring with increasing prevalence with no effective treatment. A unique feature of melanoma cells is that they require higher concentrations of ltyrosine (l-tyr) for expansion than normal cells. As such, it has been demonstrated that dietary l-tyr restriction lowers systemic l-tyr and suppresses melanoma advancement in mice. Unfortunately, this diet is not well tolerated by humans. An alternative approach to impede melanoma progression will be to administer the enzyme tyrosinase (TYR), which converts l-tyr into melanin. Herein, a multicompartment carrier consisting of a polymer shell entrapping thousands of liposomes is employed to act as a microreactor depleting l-tyr in the presence of melanoma cells. It is shown that the TYR enzyme can be incorporated within the liposomal subunits with preserved catalytic activity. Aiming to mimic the dynamic environment at the tumor site, l-tyr conversion is conducted by co-culturing melanoma cells and microreactors in a microfluidic setup with applied intratumor shear stress. It is demonstrated that the microreactors are concurrently depleting l-tyr, which translates into inhibited melanoma cell growth. Thus, the first microreactor where the depletion of a substrate translates into antitumor properties in vitro is reported.

Abstract
Ctenophores, or comb jellies, are among the earliest-diverging extant animal lineages. Several recent phylogenomic studies suggest that they may even be the sister group to all other animals. This unexpected finding remains difficult to contextualize, particularly given ctenophores' unique and sometimes poorly understood physiology. Colloblasts, a ctenophore-specific cell type found on the surface of these animals' tentacles, are emblematic of this difficulty. The exterior of the colloblast is dotted with granules that burst and release an adhesive on contact with prey, ensnaring it for consumption. To date, little is known about the fast-acting underwater adhesive that these cells secrete or its biochemistry. We present evidence that proteins in the colloblasts of the ctenophore Pleurobrachia bachei incorporate catecholic compounds similar to the amino acid l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine. These compounds are associated with adhesive-containing granules on the surface of colloblasts, suggesting that they may play a role in prey capture, akin to dihydroxyphenylalanine-based adhesives in mussel byssus. We also present unexpected evidence of similar catecholic compounds in association with the subepithelial nerve net. There, catecholic compounds are present in spatial patterns similar to those of l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and its derivatives in cnidarian nerves, where they are associated with membranes and possess unknown functionality. This "structural" use of catecholic molecules in ctenophores represents the earliest-diverging animal lineage in which this trait has been observed, though it remains unclear whether structural catechols are deeply rooted in animals or whether they have arisen multiple times.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes are central to a wide range of essential biological activities, including nucleic acid modification, protein degradation, and many others. The role of metalloenzymes in these processes also makes them central for the progression of many diseases and, as such, makes metalloenzymes attractive targets for therapeutic intervention. Increasing awareness of the role metalloenzymes play in disease and their importance as a class of targets has amplified interest in the development of new strategies to develop inhibitors and ultimately useful drugs. In this Review, we provide a broad overview of several drug discovery efforts focused on metalloenzymes and attempt to map out the current landscape of high-value metalloenzyme targets.

Abstract
Tyrosinase (EC.1.14.18.1.) is a widespread enzyme, in the phylogenetic scale, that produces melanin, from bacteria to man, by using as substrates monophenols, o-diphenols and molecular oxygen. In this work we have confirmed and demonstrated that during Bufo bufo development tyrosinase activity and gene expression first occur at developmental stages 17–18 (tail bud-muscular response) as detected by a spectrophotometric assay and qRT-PCR. As expected, also during B. bufo development tyrosinase gene is expressed after the late gastrula (stage 12), differently from Rana pipiens development when tyrosinase mRNA appears at the neural plate stage and enzyme activity at stage 20 (gill circulation). We have cloned and sequenced the B. bufo tyrosinase cDNA in order to prepare B. bufo tyrosinase cDNA specific primers (forward and reverse). Tyrosinase mRNA cloning has been performed by using degenerate primers prepared according to the anuran tyrosinase gene sequence coding for the copper binding sites. The expressions of tyrosinase gene and enzymatic activity during B. bufo development support that until the developmental stage 17, embryo melanin is of maternal origin and at this stage can start embryo melanin synthesis. A correlation exists between tyrosinase expression and O2 consumption during B. bufo development.

Abstract
Discovery of novel anticandidal agents with clarified mechanisms of action, could be a rationalist approach against diverse pathogenic fungal strains due to the rise of resistance to existing drugs. In support to this hypothesis, in this paper, a series of benzimidazole-oxadiazole compounds were synthesized and subjected to antifungal activity evaluation. In vitro activity assays indicated that some of the compounds exhibited moderate to potent antifungal activities against tested Candida species when compared positive control amphotericin B and ketoconazole. The most active compounds 4h and 4p were evaluated in terms of inhibitory activity upon ergosterol biosynthesis by an LC-MS-MS method and it was determined that they inhibited ergosterol synthesis concentration dependently. Docking studies examining interactions between most active compounds and lanosterol 14-α-demethylase also supported the in vitro results.

Abstract
Abstract: Coloration anomalies are mainly genetically-based disorders in which body pigmentation is either reduced (hypopigmentation) or produced in excess (melanism), in parts or the totality of the body. Cases of hypopigmentation have been documented in many neotropical mammals, including the tayra (Eira barbara Linnaeus, 1758). We expand the account of anomalous coloration occurrence presenting new registers of hypopigmented tayras in Brazil. Data was collected during a mammal survey carried out in three agricultural landscapes within the Cerrado domain in the northeast of the state of São Paulo. We obtained two kinds of records of hypopigmented tayras, one from direct sighting and the other from a camera-trap. We discuss the likely implications of this conspicuous coloration to tayras and highlight some possibilities of study.

Abstract
Albinism, typically characterized by decreased melanin synthesis, is associated with significant visual deficits owing to developmental changes during neurosensory retina development. All albinism is caused by genetic mutations in a group of diverse genes including enzymes, transporters, G-protein coupled receptor. Interestingly, these genes are not expressed in the neurosensory retina. Further, regardless of cause of albinism, all forms of albinism have the same retinal pathology, the extent of which is variable. In this review, we explore the possibility that this similarity in retinal phenotype is because all forms of albinism funnel through the same final common pathway. There are currently seven known genes linked to the seven forms of ocular cutaneous albinism. These types of albinism are the most common, and result in changes to all pigmented tissues (hair, skin, eyes). We will discuss the incidence and mechanism, where known, to develop a picture as to how the mutations cause albinism. Next, we will examine the one form of albinism which causes tissue-specific pathology, ocular albinism, where the eye exhibits the retinal albinism phenotype despite near normal melanin synthesis. We will discuss a potential way to treat the disease and restore normal retinal development. Finally, we will briefly discuss the possibility that this same pathway may intersect with the most common cause of permanent vision loss in the elderly.

Abstract
Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1), a copper-containing monooxygenase, catalyzes the conversion of phenol to the corresponding ortho-quinone. The Streptomyces tyrosinase is generated as a complex with a “caddie” protein that facilitates the transport of two copper ions into the active center. In our previous study, the Tyr98 residue in the caddie protein, which is accommodated in the pocket of active center of tyrosinase, has been found to be converted to a reactive quinone through the formations of the μ-η2:η2-peroxo-dicopper(II) and Cu(II)-dopasemiquinone intermediates. Until now—despite extensive studies for the tyrosinase reaction based on the crystallographic analysis, low-molecular-weight models, and computer simulations—the catalytic mechanism has been unable to be made clear at an atomic level. To make the catalytic mechanism of tyrosinase clear, in the present study, the cryo-trapped crystal structures were determined at very high resolutions (1.16–1.70 Å). The structures suggest the existence of an important step for the tyrosinase reaction that has not yet been found: that is, the hydroxylation reaction is triggered by the movement of CuA, which induces the syn-to-anti rearrangement of the copper ligands after the formation of μ-η2:η2-peroxo-dicopper(II) core. By the rearrangement, the hydroxyl group of the substrate is placed in an equatorial position, allowing the electrophilic attack to the aromatic ring by the Cu2O2 oxidant. The cryo-trapped crystal structures of tyrosinase in a complex with its “caddie” protein reveal structural insight into the catalytic mechanism of tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the production of melanin. Tyrosinase is an enzyme that controls a rate-limiting reaction of melanogenesis: it catalyzes the conversion of a phenol to the corresponding ortho-quinone. Streptomyces tyrosinase is formed as a complex, with a “caddie” protein that assists with the transport of the two copper ions into the enzyme’s active center. In our previous study, we showed that the Tyr98 residue in the caddie protein, which is accommodated in the pocket of active center of tyrosinase, is converted to a reactive quinone through the formations of the μ-η2:η2-peroxo-dicopper(II) and Cu(II)-dopasemiquinone intermediates. Until now—despite extensive studies of the tyrosinase reaction based on the crystallographic analysis, low-molecular-weight model systems, and computer simulations—the catalytic mechanism was unclear at an atomic level. To understand the catalytic mechanism of tyrosinase in detail, we determined the cryo-trapped crystal structures at very high resolutions, which suggest an important new step for the tyrosinase reaction: the hydroxylation reaction triggered by the movement of CuA, which induces the syn-to-anti rearrangement of the copper ligands after the formation of μ-η2:η2-peroxo-dicopper(II) core.

Abstract
Morchella esculenta protein hydrolysate (MPH) from a valued medicinal and edible fungus M. esculenta (L.) is an excellent material for functional food development. To promote MPH utilization, selenization of MPH was performed by applying a simple and environmentally friendly microwave irradiation procedure. The physicochemical characteristics of selenized MPH (Se-MPH) were investigated by SEM-EDX, FTIR, CD, and amino acid analyzer, and its biological activity were assessed by ABTS, DPPH, H2 O2 scavenging, and reducing power assays, as well as α-glucosidase, α-amylase, and tyrosinase inhibition tests. The results showed that MPH was successfully selenized, Se content in Se-MPH reached 59.0 ± 0.64 mg/g, and amino groups, hydroxyl groups, and sulfur atoms of methionine residues in the MPH molecule may participate in selenization. Furthermore, Se-MPH exhibited significantly enhanced antioxidant, antidiabetic, and tyrosinase inhibitory activities, compared with the native MPH and microwave-irradiated MPH. Thus, the microwave-assisted selenization is a feasible strategy for preparing organic Se and improving the biological activity of MPH. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, selenized Morchella esculenta protein hydrolysate (Se-MPH) was successfully prepared via conjugation with sodium selenite using the microwave-assisted method. The results showed that Se-MPH, synthesized with the aid of microwave, exhibited favorable selenium content and improved antioxidant, antidiabetic, and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. Therefore, microwave can be employed as an innovative and effective avenue for the production of organic selenium in nutraceutical and functional food industry.

Abstract
Tyrosinase, a copper-containing enzyme existing widely in plants, animals and microorganisms, usually serves as an important biomarker in melanoma, and is also related to hyperpigmentation of the skin, melasma, age spots and albinism. At present, only one bioluminescent probe has been applied to image tyrosinase in cells. Thus, it's of great significance to develop a new bioluminescent probe that can detect tyrosinase in living cells and in live animals. In the current work, we report a new BL probe, TyrBP-3, which not detect tyrosinase in vitro and in living cells, but can also visualize the level of tyrosinase activity in tumors of living animals. In summary, TyrBP-3 is the first bioluminescent probe that can image tyrosinase on a cellular level. Hence, we anticipate that TyrBP-3 can be a good tool to monitor tyrosinase in complex biosystems in the future.

Determination of the volatile and polyphenol constituents and the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and tyrosinase inhibitory activities of the bioactive compounds from the by-product of Rosa rugosa Thunb. var. plena Regal tea. BMC COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2018; 18:307. [PMID: 30458808 PMCID: PMC6247689 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-018-2374-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2018] [Accepted: 11/07/2018] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Background The phytochemical constituents and biological activities of Rosa rugosa Thunb. var. plena Regal flower cell sap (RFCS) were investigated. Methods Volatile constituent, such as linalool, phenylethyl alcohol, citronellol, α-bisabolol, were identified by GC-MS. The contents of hyperoside, kaempferol-3-O-rutinosid, rutin, and luteolin as well as the total flavonoid content in RFCS were determined by HPLC and HPLC-MS. The total polyphenol content was evaluated by the Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method. The antioxidant activities of RFCS and the standards were evaluated by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays. The tyrosinase inhibitory activities of the rose samples and standard substance were determined by a spectrophotometric method. The antimicrobial effects of RFCS were evaluated in terms of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) or minimum Fungicidal concentrations (MFCs). Results The rose fraction exhibited a high content of biologically active ingredients. The total content of volatile compounds in RFCS was approximately 48.21 ± 2.76 ng/mL. The total phenolic acid content and total flavonoid content were 0.31 ± 0.01 mg/mL and 0.43 ± 0.01 mg/mL, respectively. Its IC50 value in the DPPH assay was 1120 ± 42 μg/mL, and its IC50 value for ABTS radical scavenging activity was 1430 ± 42 μg/mL.RFCS strongly inhibited L-tyrosine oxidation with an IC50 value of 570 ± 21 μg/mL. Every compound identified in RFCS exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. F. nucleatum was most susceptible to RFCS with an MIC of 64 μg/mL and MBC of 250 μg/mL. Conclusions Due to its rose-like aroma, phenylethyl alcohol may be combined with linalool for use as a natural skin-whitening agent and skin care additive in the and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Lymphangiogenesis is critically involved in tissue fluid balance, graft rejection, and tumor metastasis. Endogenous regulation of lymphangiogenesis is poorly understood. Herein, we use the lymphatic vessel architecture at the limbal border of the normally avascular cornea, a quantitative trait under strong genetic influence, as a model system to identify new candidate genes regulating lymphangiogenesis. Comparing low-lymphangiogenic BALB/cN with high-lymphangiogenic C57BL/6N mice, we performed quantitative trait loci analysis of five phenotypes in a large BALB/cN × C57BL/6N intercross (n = 795) and identified three to eight genome-wide significant loci, the strongest on chromosome 7 containing tyrosinase (Tyr). Tyrosinase-negative mice showed significantly increased limbal lymph vascularized areas, a higher number of lymphatic vessel end points, and branching points and increased inflammation-induced lymphangiogenesis. These findings confirm that tyrosinase is a novel lymphangiogenesis regulator in developmental and inflammatory lymphangiogenesis. Our findings link melanin synthesis with lymphangiogenesis and open new treatment options in lymphangiogenesis-related diseases.

Abstract
The Japanese rat snake (Elaphe climacophora) is a common species in Japan and is widely distributed across the Japanese islands. An albino mutant of the Japanese rat snake ("pet trade" albino) has been bred and traded by hobbyists for around two decades because of its remarkable light-yellowish coloration with red eyes, attributable to a lack of melanin. Another albino Japanese rat snake mutant found in a natural population of the Japanese rat snake at high frequency in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture is known as "Iwakuni no Shirohebi". It has been conserved by the government as a natural monument. The Iwakuni albino also lacks melanin, having light-yellowish body coloration and red eyes. Albino mutants of several organisms have been studied, and mutation of the tyrosinase gene (TYR) is responsible for this phenotype. By determining the sequence of the TYR coding region of the pet trade albino, we identified a nonsense mutation in the second exon. Furthermore, RT-PCR revealed that TYR transcripts were not detected in this snake. These findings suggest that mutation of TYR is responsible for the albino phenotype of the pet trade line of the Japanese rat snake. However, the Iwakuni albino did not share this TYR mutation; thus, these two albino lines differ in their origins.

Abstract
A series of kojic acid-derived compounds 6a-p bearing aryloxymethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl moiety were designed by modifying primary alcoholic group of kojic acid as tyrosinase inhibitors. The target compounds 6a-p were synthesized via click reaction. All compounds showed very potent anti-tyrosinase activity (IC50s = 0.06-6.80 µM), being superior to reference drug, kojic acid. In particular, the naphthyloxy analogs 6o and 6p were found to be 31-155 times more potent than kojic acid. The metal-binding study of selected compound 6o revealed that the prototype compound possesses metal-chelating ability, particularly with Cu2+ ions. The promising compounds 6o and 6p had acceptable safety profile as demonstrated by cytotoxicity assay against melanoma (B16) cell line and Human Foreskin Fibroblast (HFF) cells.

Abstract
Five silver camphor complexes of formulae [Ag2(L)(L')2] (1,3,5) or [Ag(L)2(L')] (2,4) were synthesized from silver nitrate and the suitable camphor carboxylate (L1) or camphor carboxamides (L3, L4). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques (NMR, FTIR, XPS). Computational calculations support coordination of the carboxylate group to silver, in the case of complex 2 and combined mixed keto/carboxylate in the case of complex 1. The stability of the complexes highly relies on the tetrahedral geometry of the lithium ion that binds to four oxygen atoms of the camphor carboxylate ligands. The redox properties of complexes 1 and 4 studied by cyclic voltammetry confirm the facile reduction of the metal sites that depending on the experimental conditions may lead to formation of silver nanoparticles as confirmed by XPS and TEM. Complexes 1, 2 and 4 were tested for cytotoxic activities against A2780 (IC50, 11-14 μM) and A2780 cisplatin resistant (A2780cisR) (IC50, 4-7 μM) cells using the MTT assay. The result showed that the complexes have anticancer activity higher than cisplatin. Complex 1 was also probed for cytotoxicity against the non-tumoral human embryonic kidney (HEK 293, IC50, 62.2 ± 16 μM) cells showing low toxicity in agreement with the silver camphor carboxylate complexes having a considerable selectivity for the ovarian cancer cells A2780 and cisplatin resistant A2780cisR which is a key point under pharmacological uses.

Abstract
Bioremediation, a biologically mediated transformation or degradation of persistent chemicals into nonhazardous or less-hazardous substances, has been recognized as a key strategy to control levels of pollutants in water and soils. The use of enzymes, notably oxidoreductases such as laccases, tyrosinases, various oxygenases, aromatic dioxygenases, and different peroxidases (all of EC class 1) is receiving significant research attention in this regard. It should be stated that immobilization is emphasized as a powerful tool for enhancement of enzyme activity and stability as well as for protection of the enzyme proteins against negative effects of harsh reaction conditions. As proper selection of support materials for immobilization and their performance is overlooked when it comes to comparing performance of immobilized enzyme in academic studies, this review summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the materials used for enzyme immobilization of these oxidoreductase enzymes for environmental applications. In the presented study, thorough physicochemical characteristics of the support materials was presented. Moreover, various types of reactions and notably operational modes of enzymatic processes for biodegradation of harmful pollutants are summarized, and future trends in use of immobilized oxidoreductases for environmental applications are discussed. Our goal is to provide an improved foundation on which new technological advancements can be made to achieve efficient enzyme-assisted bioremediation.

Abstract
Cutaneous hyperpigmentation from excess melanogenesis causes serious pigmentary disorders and even melasma. Short peptides (SPs) are garnering attention lately owing to their therapeutic potential in dermatological diseases and low systemic side effects. Here, we show an octapeptide, ansin2, designed de novo from antioxidant SPs we previously reported, significantly inhibiting melanogenesis in B16 cells by decreasing tyrosinase production via regulating the MITF pathway. Ansin2 could also inhibit tyrosinase function by covering its catalytic pocket, which was simulated in docking and LIGPLOT studies. Topical application of ansin2 exhibited evident protection in UVB-induced pigmentation in guinea pig models both in terms of prophylaxis and treatment. Interestingly, unlike other hydrophilic and peptidic drugs that need delivery systems, ansin2 can be efficiently delivered topically to the epidermis and dermis per se without an affiliated moiety. Given that ansin2 lacks unwanted toxicities and immunogenicity, it holds great potential in treating hyperpigmentation in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
