Molecular insights into the phase transition of lysozyme into amyloid nanostructures: Implications of therapeutic strategies in diverse pathological conditions. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 331:103205. [PMID: 38875805 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Lysozyme, a well-known bacteriolytic enzyme, exhibits a fascinating yet complex behavior when it comes to protein aggregation. Under certain conditions, this enzyme undergoes flexible transformation, transitioning from partially unfolded intermediate units of native conformers into complex cross-β-rich nano fibrillar amyloid architectures. Formation of such lysozyme amyloids has been implicated in a multitude of pathological and medical severities, like hepatic dysfunction, hepatomegaly, splenic rupture as well as spleen dysfunction, nephropathy, sicca syndrome, renal dysfunction, renal amyloidosis, and systemic amyloidosis. In this comprehensive review, we have attempted to provide in-depth insights into the aggregating behavior of lysozyme across a spectrum of variables, including concentrations, temperatures, pH levels, and mutations. Our objective is to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that govern lysozyme's aggregation process and to unravel the complex interplay between its structural attributes. Moreover, this work has critically examined the latest advancements in the field, focusing specifically on novel strategies and systems, that have been implemented to delay or inhibit the lysozyme amyloidogenesis. Apart from this, we have tried to explore and advance our fundamental understanding of the complex processes involved in lysozyme aggregation. This will help the research community to lay a robust foundation for screening, designing, and formulating targeted anti-amyloid therapeutics offering improved treatment modalities and interventions not only for lysozyme-linked amyloidopathy but for a wide range of amyloid-related disorders.

Khan AN, Nabi F, Khan RH. Mechanistic and biophysical insight into the inhibitory and disaggregase role of antibiotic moxifloxacin on human lysozyme amyloid formation. Biophys Chem 2023; 298:107029. [PMID: 37150142 DOI: 10.1016/j.bpc.2023.107029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/30/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
Lysozyme amyloidosis is a systemic non-neuropathic disease caused by the accumulation of amyloids of mutant lysozyme. Presently, therapeutic interventions targeting lysozyme amyloidosis, remain elusive with only therapy available for lysozyme amyloidosis being supportive management. In this work, we examined the effects of moxifloxacin, a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic on the amyloid formation of human lysozyme. The ability of moxifloxacin to interfere with lysozyme amyloid aggregation was examined using various biophysical methods like Rayleigh light scattering, Thioflavin T fluorescence assay, transmission electron microscopy and docking method. The reduction in scattering and ThT fluorescence along with extended lag phase in presence of moxifloxacin, suggest that the antibiotic inhibits and impedes the lysozyme fibrillation in concentration dependent manner. From ANS experiment, we deduce that moxifloxacin is able to decrease the hydrophobicity of the protein molecule thereby preventing aggregation. Our CD and DLS results show that moxifloxacin stabilizes the protein in its native monomeric structure, thus also showing retention of lytic activity upto 69% and inhibition of cytotoxicity at highest concentration of moxifloxacin. The molecular docking showed that moxifloxacin forms a stable complex of -7.6 kcal/mol binding energy and binds to the aggregation prone region of lysozyme thereby stabilising it and preventing aggregation. Moxifloxacin also showed disaggregase potential by disrupting fibrils and decreasing the β-sheet content of the fibrils. Our current study, thus highlight the anti-amyloid and disaggregase property of an antibiotic moxifloxacin and hence sheds light on the future of antibiotics against protein aggregation, a hallmark event in many neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Inhibition of highly ordered cross-β-sheet-rich aggregates of misfolded amyloid proteins using rationally designed sequence-based short peptides is a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we have explored the anti-amyloidogenic potency of a rationally designed hexapeptide (Tyr-Pro-Gln-Ile-Pro-Asn) on in vitro hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) amyloid fibril formation at acidic pH and physiological pH using computational docking as well as various biophysical techniques such as fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, confocal microscopy and TEM. The peptide was designed based on the aggregation-prone region (APR) of HEWL and thus referred to as SqP1 (Sequence-based Peptide 1). SqP1 showed over 70% inhibition of HEWL amyloid formation at pH 2.2 and approximately 50% inhibition at pH 7.5. We propose that SqP1 binds to the APR of HEWL and interacts strongly with the Trp62/Trp63, ultimately stabilizing monomeric HEWL at both the pH conditions and preventing conformation changes in the structure of HEWL, leading to the formation of amyloidogenic fibrillar structures. A sequence-based peptide inhibitor of HEWL amyloid formation was not reported previously, making this a critical study that will further emphasize the importance of short synthetic peptides as amyloid inhibitors.

Abstract
Inhibition of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) and Aβ42 fibrillation have been established as the main models for the treatment of systemic lysozyme amyloidosis and Alzheimer's disease (AD), respectively. Several antiamyloidogenic nanomaterials have been developed over the period; however, their intracellular mechanism of action is still not well understood. In this context, plant-based, gold-conjugated, injectable, hydrophilic cellulose nanoonions (CNOs), viz., DH-CNO (∼60 ± 5 nm) and LC-CNO (∼55 ± 12 nm), were developed from their respective hydrophobic cellulose nanocrystals (DH-CNC and LC-CNC) using a single-step chemical template-mediated process. This unique nanocellulose architecture was chemically and morphologically characterized by various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Further, the different biophysical studies documented marked the inhibition/disintegration potential of gold-conjugated LC-CNO against HEWL and Aβ42 peptide aggregation. It was further observed that inhibition of protein fibrillation could be achieved within ∼10 min when the same materials were used under photoirradiation conditions. In vitro protein aggregation studies using HEK293 cells suggested that gold-conjugated LC-CNO could effectively reduce the cellular toxicity via regulation of oxidative stress and ion homeostasis. The outcome of the present study will help in designing cellulose-based novel functional nanochaperones against various neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Misfolding proteins could form oligomers or amyloid fibers, which can cause a variety of amyloid-associated diseases. Thus, the inhibition of protein misfolding and fibrillation is a promising way to prevent and treat these diseases. Captopril (CAP) is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) that is widely used to treat diseases such as hypertension and heart failure. In this study, we found that CAP inhibits human lysozyme (HL) fibrillation through the combination techniques of biophysics and biochemistry. The data obtained by thioflavin-T (ThT) and Congo red (CR) assays showed that CAP hindered the aggregation of HL amyloid fibrils by reducing the β-sheet structure of HL amyloid, with an IC50 value of 34.75 ± 1.23 μM. Meanwhile, the particle size of HL amyloid decreased sharply in a concentration-dependent approach after CAP treatment. According to the visualization of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we verified that in the presence of CAP, the needle-like fibers of HL amyloid were significantly reduced. In addition, CAP incubation dramatically improved the cell survival rate exposed to HL fibers. Our studies also revealed that CAP could form hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues of Glu 35 and Ala 108 in the binding pocket of HL, which help in maintaining the α-helical structure of HL and then prevent the formation of amyloid fibrillation. It can be concluded that CAP has antiamyloidogenic activity and a protective effect on HL amyloid cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Amyloid proteins were recognized as the crucial cause of many senile diseases. In this study, the inhibitory effects of Sennoside A (SA) and Sennoside C (SC) on amyloid fibrillation were evaluated by the combination of biophysical approaches and molecular docking tool using human lysozyme (HL) as amyloid-forming model. The results of thioflavin-T (ThT), 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) and congo red (CR) assays indicated that both SA and SC could inhibit the amyloid fibrillation of HL in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 value of SA and SC on HL fibrillation was 200.09 μM and 186.20 μM, respectively. These findings were further verified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), which showed that the addition of SA or SC could sharply reduce the amyloid fibrillation of HL. Additionally, the interactions of HL with SA and SC were investigated by steady-state fluorescence spectra and molecular docking studies. The results suggested that both SA and SC could bind to the binding pocket of HL and form a stable complex mainly via hydrogen bonds, van-der-Waals forces and hydrophobic interactions. In conclusion, our experiments revealed that both SA and SC can significantly inhibit amyloid fibrillation of HL.

Abstract
Amphiphilic compounds, both detergents and lipids, are important tools for in vitro analysis of water-soluble and integral membrane proteins. A key question is whether these two groups of amphiphilic molecules use the same pathway to affect structural and functional integrity of proteins. In the present study, we tested the effect of non-ionic detergent dodecyl maltoside (DDM), two phospholipids, 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine (DMPC), 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC), and the detergent-phospholipid mixtures on insulin amyloidogenesis in vitro. Amyloidogenesis of insulin is significantly affected by DDM in a time-and dose-dependent manner, but only slightly affected by either of phospholipids. Addition of DHPC or DMPC to detergent does not alter the inhibiting pattern, suggesting that DDM preferably binds to insulin. The molecular modeling revealed that DDM and the phospholipids occupy equivalent binding sites. DDM, due to the presence of maltose with several oxygen atoms (hydroxylic, glycosidic and ring) is involved in more hydrogen bonds than DHPC or DMPC. Hydrophobic interactions are important factors to stabilize both, DDM and phospholipids in their binding sites. Our results indicate that certain detergents (applying DDM as an example) and selected phospholipids are not always interchangeable in their use to investigate the effect of amphiphilic compounds on the behavior of amyloid-prone proteins.

Abstract
Conditions including heating mode, time, temperature, pH, moisture and protein concentration, shear, and the presence of alcohols, chaotropic/reducing agents, enzymes, and/or salt influence amyloid fibril (AF) formation as they can affect the accessibility of amino acid sequences prone to aggregate. As some conditions applied on model protein resemble conditions in food processing unit operations, we here hypothesize that food processing can lead to formation of protein AFs with a compact cross β-sheet structure. This paper reviews conditions and food constituents that affect amyloid fibrillation of egg and cereal proteins. While egg and cereal proteins often coexist in food products, their impact on each other's fibrillation remains unknown. Hen egg ovalbumin and lysozyme form AFs when subjected to moderate heating at acidic pH separately. AFs can also be formed at higher pH, especially in the presence of alcohols or chaotropic/reducing agents. Tryptic wheat gluten digests can form fibrillar structures at neutral pH and maize and rice proteins do so in aqueous ethanol or at acidic pH, respectively.

Abstract
Insulin and lysozyme share the common features of being prone to aggregate and having biomedical importance. Encapsulating lysozyme and insulin in micellar nanoparticles probably would prevent aggregation and facilitate oral drug delivery. Despite the vivid structural knowledge of lysozyme and insulin, the environment-dependent oligomerization (dimer, trimer, and multimer) and associated structural dynamics remain elusive. The knowledge of the intra- and intermolecular interaction profiles has cardinal importance for the design of encapsulation protocols. We have employed various biophysical methods such as NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, Thioflavin T fluorescence, and atomic force microscopy in conjugation with molecular modeling to improve the understanding of interaction dynamics during homo-oligomerization of lysozyme (human and hen egg) and insulin (porcine, human, and glargine). The results obtained depict the atomistic intra- and intermolecular interaction details of the homo-oligomerization and confirm the propensity to form fibrils. Taken together, the data accumulated and knowledge gained will further facilitate nanoparticle design and production with insulin or lysozyme-related protein encapsulation.

J Pept Sci 2019; 25:e3152. [PMID: 30784133 DOI: 10.1002/psc.3152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2018] [Revised: 01/02/2019] [Accepted: 01/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Seminal amyloids are well known for their role in enhancing HIV infection. Among all the amyloidogenic peptides identified in human semen, PAP248-286 was found to be the most active and was termed as semen-derived enhancer of viral infection (SEVI). Although amyloidogenic nature of the peptide is mainly linked with enhancement of the viral infection, the most active physiological conformation of the aggregated peptide remains inconclusive. Lipids are known to modulate aggregation pathway of a variety of proteins and peptides and constitute one of the most abundant biomolecules in human semen. PAP248-286 significantly differs from the other known amyloidogenic peptides, including Aβ and IAPP, in terms of critical concentration, surface charge, fibril morphology, and structural transition during aggregation. Hence, in the present study, we aimed to assess the effect of a lipid, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), on PAP248-286 aggregation and the consequent conformational outcomes. Our initial observation suggested that the presence of the lipid considerably influenced the aggregation of PAP248-286 . Further, ZDOCK and MD simulation studies of peptide multimerization have suggested that the hydrophobic residues at C-terminus are crucial for PAP248-286 aggregation and are anticipated to be major DOPC-interacting partners. Therefore, we further assessed the aggregation behaviour of C-terminal (PAP273-286 ) fragment of PAP248-286 and observed that DOPC possesses the ability to interfere with the aggregation behaviour of both the peptides used in the current study. Mechanistically, we propose that the presence of DOPC causes considerable inhibition of the peptide aggregation by interfering with the peptide's disordered state to β-sheet transition.

Abstract
Atomic force microscopy, Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence assay, circular dichroism spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and molecular modeling techniques have been employed to investigate the amyloid aggregation of insulin in the presence of non-ionic detergent, Triton X-100 (TX-100). In contrast to recently described inhibition of lysozyme amyloid formation by non-ionic detergents (Siposova, 2017), the amyloid aggregation of insulin in the presence of sub-micellar TX-100 concentration exhibits two dissimilar phases. The first, inhibition phase, is observed at the protein to detergent molar ratio of 1:0.1 to 1:1. During this phase, the insulin amyloid fibril formation is inhibited by TX-100 up to ∼60%. The second, "morphological" phase, is observed at increasing detergent concentration, corresponding to protein:detergent molar ratio of ∼1:1 - 1:10. Under these conditions a significant increase of the steady-state ThT fluorescence intensities and a dramatically changed morphology of the insulin fibrils were observed. Increasing of the detergent concentration above the CMC led to complete inhibition of amyloidogenesis. Analysis of the experimental and molecular modeling results suggests an existence of up to six TX-100 binding sites within dimer of insulin with different binding energy. The physiological relevance of the results is discussed.

[PMID: 30372997 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2018.09.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 123] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2018] [Revised: 08/04/2018] [Accepted: 09/03/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Lysozyme, an important bacteriostatic protein, is widely distributed in nature. It is generally believed that the high efficiency of lysozyme in inhibiting gram-positive bacteria is caused by its ability to cleave the β-(1,4)-glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. In recent years, there has been growing interest in modifying lysozyme via physical or chemical interactions in order to improve its sensitivity against gram-negative bacterial strains. This review addresses some significant techniques, including sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), infrared (IR) spectra, fluorescence spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), UV-vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectra and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which can be used to characterize lysozymes and methods that modify lysozymes with carbohydrates to enhance their various physicochemical characteristics. The applications of biomaterials based on lysozymes in different food matrices are also discussed.
