ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:27071-27084. [PMID: 38947787 PMCID: PMC11209914 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c00487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Here, the antioxidant potency of a binuclear Bi(III) complex {[Bi2(μ-ox)(dipic)2(H2O)2 (taa)2].H2O, where ox2- = oxalato, dipic2- = pyridine 2,6-dicarboxylato, and taa = thiourea} was evaluated using the •DPPH assay. It was demonstrated that the Bi complex exhibited a high ability to inhibit DPPH free radicals. The binding mechanism of the complex with bovine liver catalase (BLC) was also investigated, revealing structural and activity changes in the enzyme in the presence of the complex. The catalase activity in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide increased in the presence of the Bi complex, reaching 39.8% higher than its initial activity at a concentration of 7.77 × 10-6 M. The complex exhibited a relatively high affinity for BLC, with K b values of 3.98, 0.13, and 0.09 × 105 M-1 at 303, 310, and 317 K, respectively. The mechanisms involved in the interaction were hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions, as validated through molecular docking simulations. Synchronous fluorescence showed that tryptophan was more affected by enzyme-complex interactions than tyrosine. In addition, a cell viability test using the MTT method revealed that at its highest concentration, the Bi complex caused a decrease in the number of cells below 50% compared to the control, while cisplatin showed negative effects at all concentrations. These findings suggest that the Bi complex has the potential to be developed as a promising candidate for BLC-related therapeutic target therapy.

Abstract
Free radicals, products of oxidative processes, induce cellular damage linked to diseases like Parkinson's and diabetes due to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Catalase, crucial for scavenging ROS, emerges as a therapeutic agent against ailments including atherosclerosis and tumor progression. Its primary function involves breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Research on catalase-drug interactions reveals structural changes under specific conditions, affecting its activity and cellular antioxidant balance, highlighting its pivotal role in defending against oxidative stress-related diseases. Hence, targeting catalase is considered an effective strategy for controlling ROS-induced cellular damage. This study investigates the interaction between bovine liver catalase and glipizide using spectroscopic and computational methods. It also explores glipizide's effect on catalase activity. More than 20% inhibition of catalase enzymatic activity was recorded in the presence of 50 µM glipizide. To investigate the inhibition of catalase activity by glipizide, we performed a series of binding studies. Glipizide was found to form a complex with catalase with moderate affinity and binding constant in the range of 3.822 to 5.063 × 104 M-1. The binding was spontaneous and entropically favourable. The α-helical content of catalase increased from 24.04 to 29.53% upon glipizide complexation. Glipizide binding does not alter the local environment surrounding the tyrosine residues while a notable decrease in polarity around the tryptophan residues of catalase was recorded. Glipizide interacted with numerous active site residues of catalase including His361, Tyr357, Ala332, Asn147, Arg71, and Thr360. Molecular simulations revealed that the catalase-glipizide complex remained relatively stable in an aqueous environment. The binding of glipizide had a negligible effect on the secondary structure of catalase, and hydrogen bonds persisted consistently throughout the trajectory. These results could aid in the development of glipizide as a potent catalase inhibitor, potentially reducing the impact of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the human body.

The influence of near-infrared carbon dots on the conformational variation and enzymatic activity of glucose oxidase: A multi-spectroscopic and biochemical study with molecular docking. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 273:133198. [PMID: 38889829 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133198] [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: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, the exceptional biocatalytic properties of glucose oxidase (GOx) have spurred the development of various GOx-functionalized nanocatalysts for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Carbon dots, renowned for their excellent biocompatibility and distinctive fluorescence properties, effectively incorporate GOx. Given the paramount importance of GOx's enzymatic activity in therapeutic efficacy, this study conducts a thorough exploration of the molecular-level binding dynamics between GOx and near-infrared carbon dots (NIR-CDs). Utilizing various spectrometric and molecular simulation techniques, we reveal that NIR-CDs form a ground-state complex with GOx primarily via hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, interacting directly with amino acid residues in GOx's active site. This binding leads to conformational change and reduces thermal stability of GOx, slightly inhibiting its enzymatic activity and demonstrating a competitive inhibition effect. In vitro experiments demonstrate that NIR-CDs attenuate the GOx's capacity to produce H2O2 in HeLa cells, mitigating enzyme-induced cytotoxicity and cellular damage. This comprehensive elucidation of the intricate binding mechanisms between NIR-CDs and GOx provides critical insights for the design of NIR-CD-based nanotherapeutic platforms to augment cancer therapy. Such advancements lay the groundwork for innovative and efficacious cancer treatment strategies.

Abstract
DNA is widely used as building block material for the construction of polyhedral nanostructures. DNA polyhedrons (DNA prism, cube, and square pyramid) are small 3D wireframed nanostructures with tunable shapes and sizes. Despite substantial progress in synthesis, the study regarding cellular responses to DNA polyhedrons is limited. Herein, the molecular interaction between DNA polyhedrons and the antioxidant enzyme, catalase has been explored. The enzymatic activity of bovine liver catalase (BLC) remains unaltered in the presence of DNA polyhedrons after 1 h of incubation. However, the activity of BLC was protected after 24 h of incubation in the presence of DNA polyhedrons as compared to the natural unfolding. The kinetics study confirmed the protective role of DNA polyhedrons on BLC with lower KM and higher catalytic efficiency. Furthermore, no profound conformational changes of BLC occur in the presence of DNA polyhedrons as observed in spectroscopic studies. From fluorescence quenching data we confirmed the binding between DNA polyhedrons and BLC. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that non-covalent bonds played a major role during the interaction of BLC with DNA polyhedrons. Moreover, the hepatic catalase activity remains unaltered in the presence of DNA polyhedrons. The cytotoxicity assay revealed that DNA polyhedrons were biocompatible in the cellular environment. The protective role of DNA polyhedrons on enzyme activity and the unaltered conformational change of protein ensures the biocompatibility of DNA polyhedrons in the cellular environment.

Abstract
Due to the widespread presence of nanoplastics (NPs) in daily essentials and drinking water, the potential adverse effects of NPs on human health have become a global concern. Human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant and multi-functional protein in plasma, has been chosen to understand the biological effects of NPs after entering the blood. The esterase activity and the transport of bisphenol A in the presence of polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) under physiological conditions (pH 4.0 and 7.4) have been investigated to evaluate the possible biological effects. The interactions between PSNPs and HSA have also been systematically studied by multispectral methods and dynamic light scattering techniques. The esterase activity of HSA presented a decreased trend with increasing PSNPs; conversely, higher permeabilities are accompanied by higher amounts of PSNPs. Compared with the unchanged hydrodynamic diameter and weaker interactions at pH 7.4, stronger binding between HSA and PSNPs at pH 4.0 led to a significant increase in the particle size of the PSNPs-HSA complex. The quenching mechanism belonged to the static quenching type. The electrostatic force is proposed to be the dominant factor for PSNPs binding to HSA. The work provides some information about the toxicity of NPs when exposed to humans.

Abstract
In cancer cells that need a lot of iron for growth and metastasis, halo-transferrin (TF-containing iron) enters the cell with the help of the transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) protein. If the anticancer drug can bind to the iron site by interacting with apo-transferrin (iron-free FT), it can enter the cancer cell by the same mechanism. Two iron-related proteins, Bovine liver catalase (BLC) and apo-Transferrin (TF), that are important in cancer patients were selected and their interaction with the anti-cancer drug Floxuridine (FUDR) was investigated. Here, the protective role of FUDR was evaluated by several variables such as drug concentration, interaction time, and temperature-induced degradation of enzyme function. The results showed that the protective effect of the FUDR is greater in high concentrations (in 5 × 10-5 M:1.78 % and 2.59 % after 24 and 48 h). The interaction of the FUDR with both proteins can reduce the intensity of the fluorescence emission by a static mechanism. The binding strength of the FUDR with both proteins was almost similar and with the order of 104 M-1 (Kb = 3.90 ± 0.41 × 104 M-1 for BLC-FUDR and 5.01 ± 0.36 × 104 M-1 for TF-FUDR at 310 K). The thermodynamic calculations (in agreement with the docking results) indicated that FUDR-protein complex formation was exothermic and the main binding forces in the binding process were van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds. Both fluorophores tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) of both proteins had significant roles in fluorescence quenching and the interaction process, the polarity of their microenvironment changed. CD results showed that the secondary structure changes of TF are slightly more than BLC. Molecular docking showed that the binding of the FUDR to TF is very close to the Fe-specific site and is placed in the cavity among the wrapping domain, N-Terminal arm, and β-barrel in BLC.

Abstract
The primary coverage of this paper is to investigate the molecular interaction of JAK2 inhibitor, fedratinib (FED) with BSA/HAG proteins through multispectral approaches and molecular docking as well as MD calculation. Arrival at a conclusion, the endogenous fluorescence of BSA/HAG protein was quenched separately in the form of static and mixed quenching. The FED-BSA and FED-HAG complexes with the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 were formed in the interaction process. And, The Kb values of these complexes were of 104-105 M-1 and 105-106 M-1, respectively, representing that the FED-HAG complex exhibited a comparatively high affinity compared to the FED-BSA complex. It is confimed that FED inserted into the interface area between subdomain IIA and IIB of BSA (marked as site II') and the bucket-shaped hydrophobic cavity of HAG, respectively, resulting in the slight alteration in the secondary structure of BSA/HAG and the micro-environment round Tyr and Trp residues. The expetimental results also confirmed that van der Waals forces (VDW), hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interaction played a dominant role in the formation of two stable complexes. The above experimental results were supplemented and verified through molecular docking and MD simulation. Meanwhile, the effects of common ions on affinity were explored. This study could shine a light on evaluating the pharmacological properties of the JAK inhibitor FED, understanding the distribution and operation of the drug in the body, and leading to the development of the creation of novel medication devise.

Abstract
Catalases are crucial antioxidant enzymes that regulate plants responses to different biotic and abiotic stresses. It has been previously shown that the activities of durum wheat catalase proteins (TdCAT1) were stimulated in the presence of divalent cations Mn2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, and Ca2+. In addition, TdCAT1s can interact with calmodulins in calcium-independent manner, and this interaction stimulates its catalytic activity in a calcium-dependent manner. Moreover, this activity is further enhanced by Mn2+ cations. The current study showed that wheat catalase presents different phosphorylation targets. Besides, we demonstrated that catalase is able to interact with Mitogen Activated Proteins kinases via a conserved domain. This interaction activates wheat catalase independently of its phosphorylation status but is more promoted by Mn2+, Fe2+ and Ca2+ divalent cations. Interestingly, we have demonstrated that durum wheat catalase activity is differentially regulated by Mitogen Activated Proteins kinases and Calmodulins in the presence of calcium. Moreover, the V0 of the reaction increase gradually following the increasing quantities of Mn2+ divalent cations. Such results have never been described before and suggest i) complex regulatory mechanisms exerted on wheat catalase, ii) divalent cations (Mn2+; Mg2+; Ca2+ and Fe2+) act as key cofactors in these regulatory mechanisms.

Abstract
Three new metal complexes have been obtained from the reaction of a new polyamine (L) with Ni(II), Cu(II), and Co(II) ions. The X-ray structural analysis of the Cu(II) complex shows that the copper atom is in a very distorted square pyramidal environment, coordinated by five of the six nitrogen donor atoms of the potentially hexadentate ligand. To evaluate the biological potential of the ligand and the synthesized metal complexes, their binding behavior with DNA was studied by molecular modeling methods. The Molecular docking studies showed that the free ligand and its complexes were bound to the major groove of DNA. The antioxidant activities of the ligand and its metal complexes were also assessed, in vitro, using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl. The synthesized compounds were tested for activity against lung carcinoma epithelial cells (A549) using the MTT cell viability assay. A comparative study of the IC50 values indicated that the Cu(II) complex exhibited the highest activity, while the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes showed more potent antiproliferative activity than the ligand. The antibacterial activities of the synthesized complexes were evaluated using micro-broth dilution and disk diffusion methods. The complexes showed greater antibacterial activity than the free ligand.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) undergo physical, chemical, and biological aging in the environment, leading to changes in their physicochemical properties, affecting migration characteristics and toxicity. Oxidative stress effects induced by MPs in vivo have been extensively studied, but the toxicity difference between virgin and aged MPs and the interactions between antioxidant enzymes and MPs in vitro have not been reported yet. This study investigated the structural and functional changes of catalase (CAT) induced by virgin and aged PVC-MPs. It was shown that light irradiation aged the PVC-MPs, and the aging mechanism was photooxidation, resulting in a rough surface and appearing holes and pits. Because of the changes in physicochemical properties, aged MPs had more binding sites than virgin MPs. Fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence spectra results suggested that MPs quenched the endogenous fluorescence of CAT and interacted with tryptophane and tyrosine residues. The virgin MPs had no significant effect on the skeleton of CAT, while the skeleton and the polypeptide chains of CAT became loosened and unfolded after binding with the aged MPs. Moreover, the interactions of CAT with virgin/aged MPs increased the α-helix and decreased the β-sheet contents, destroyed the solvent shell, and resulted in a dispersion of CAT. Due to the large size, MPs cannot enter the interior of CAT and have no effects on the heme groups and activity of CAT. The interaction mechanism between MPs and CAT may be that MPs adsorb CAT to form the protein corona, and aged MPs had more binding sites. This study is the first comprehensive investigation of the effect of aging on the interaction between MPs and biomacromolecules and highlights the potential negative effects of MPs on antioxidant enzymes.

Abstract
Buprofezin (BUP) is an insecticide which belongs to the thiadiazine structural family and known to damage DNA in mice. Though its toxic effect on human is not known clearly, understanding the mechanism of interaction of BUP with DNA can prove useful when required. Multi-spectroscopic experiments such as UV-Vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) and 1H NMR coupled with viscosity measurements, urea effect and voltametric studies were performed to ascertain the mode of binding of BUP with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA). Analysis of UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra indicated the formation of a complex between BUP and CT-DNA. Other experiments such as competitive binding assays with ethidium bromide (EB) and Hoechst 33258, viscosity measurements, effect of urea, CD, voltammetric studies and 1H NMR spectral analysis suggested that BUP intercalates into the base pairs of CT-DNA. All these results revealed that the binding mode of BUP with CT-DNA should be intercalation and the binding constant is in the order of 104 M-1. The ΔHo < 0 and ΔSo < 0 suggested that H-bonding or van der Waals force was the main binding force between BUP and CT-DNA. The proposed mode of binding of BUP with CT-DNA has been visualized using in silico molecular docking and metadynamics simulation studies, which showed that the phenyl ring of BUP binds to CT-DNA via π-π stacking interaction in addition to H-bond formation.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
