Fungal hydrophobins render stones impermeable for water but keep them permeable for vapor. Sci Rep 2019; 9:6264. [PMID: 31000787 PMCID: PMC6472399 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-42705-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2018] [Accepted: 04/01/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The conservation of architectural heritage is a big challenge in times with increasing air pollution with aggressive gases. A second major threat to buildings is the combination of water and air contaminants which may be used by microorganisms for their metabolism. Hence, myriads of different bacteria and fungi populate stone surfaces and penetrate into the fine pores and cracks. Whereas epoxid-based paintings (or other paintings) may protect the coated surfaces from water and aggressive gases, these chemicals seal the stone surface and prevent also the evaporation of vapor from the inside of the buildings. Here, we tested a natural, fungal protein-based coating method. Fungi use small, amphiphilic proteins to turn their surfaces hydrophobic. We found that Aspergillus nidulans hydrophobin DewA and Trichoderma reesei HFBI confer hydrophobicity to stones but keep their pores open. The effect resembles “Gore-tex” fabric material.

Abstract
Hydrophobins are highly surface-active proteins that have versatile potential as agents for interface engineering. Due to the large and growing number of unique hydrophobin sequences identified, there is growing potential to engineer variants for particular applications using protein engineering and other approaches. Recent applications and advancements in hydrophobin technologies and production strategies are reviewed. The application space of hydrophobins is large and growing, including hydrophobic drug solubilization and delivery, protein purification tags, tools for protein and cell immobilization, antimicrobial coatings, biosensors, biomineralization templates and emulsifying agents. While there is significant promise for their use in a wide range of applications, developing new production strategies is a key need to improve on low recombinant yields to enable their use in broader applications; further optimization of expression systems and yields remains a challenge in order to use designed hydrophobin in commercial applications.

Zhang X, Huang X, Ma M. Phosphorylated serine clusters of phosvitin plays a crucial role in the regulatory mineralization. Int J Biol Macromol 2018; 115:1109-1115. [PMID: 29702170 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2018.04.130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2017] [Revised: 04/23/2018] [Accepted: 04/24/2018] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Phosphorylation of phosvitin has been proved to play an important role in the mineralization, but the active region of phosvitin is still not known yet. Four phosvitin phosphopeptides (PPPs) were obtained after separating from ion exchange column and desalting from gel filtration, and named as PPP0, PPP1, PPP3 and PPP4, respectively. The effect of PPP on the mineralization was investigated by pH-stat system, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. SDS-PAGE and circular dichroism were applied to study the composition and the structure of PPP. Results showed that the order of promoting mineralization was as follows: PPP3 > phosvitin > PPP4 > PPP1 > control > PPP0. PPP0 and PPP1 was not involved in the mineralization, while the structure of PPP4 was too compact to promote mineralization because of its high β-sheet conformation. PPP3, which contained a 10 kDa peptide, is the most effective promoter for mineralization. LTQ-MS/MS results indicated that the phosphorylated serine clusters of phosvitin was the active region for promoting mineralization.

Matrix vesicles from chondrocytes and osteoblasts: Their biogenesis, properties, functions and biomimetic models. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2018; 1862:532-546. [PMID: 29108957 PMCID: PMC5801150 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2017.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 106] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2017] [Revised: 10/28/2017] [Accepted: 11/01/2017] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix vesicles (MVs) are released from hypertrophic chondrocytes and from mature osteoblasts, the cells responsible for endochondral and membranous ossification. Under pathological conditions, they can also be released from cells of non-skeletal tissues such as vascular smooth muscle cells. MVs are extracellular vesicles of approximately 100-300nm diameter harboring the biochemical machinery needed to induce mineralization. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW The review comprehensively delineates our current knowledge of MV biology and highlights open questions aiming to stimulate further research. The review is constructed as a series of questions addressing issues of MVs ranging from their biogenesis and functions, to biomimetic models. It critically evaluates experimental data including their isolation and characterization methods, like lipidomics, proteomics, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and proteoliposome models mimicking MVs. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS MVs have a relatively well-defined function as initiators of mineralization. They bind to collagen and their composition reflects the composition of lipid rafts. We call attention to the as yet unclear mechanisms leading to the biogenesis of MVs, and how minerals form and when they are formed. We discuss the prospects of employing upcoming experimental models to deepen our understanding of MV-mediated mineralization and mineralization disorders such as the use of reconstituted lipid vesicles, proteoliposomes and, native sample preparations and high-resolution technologies. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE MVs have been extensively investigated owing to their roles in skeletal and ectopic mineralization. MVs serve as a model system for lipid raft structures, and for the mechanisms of genesis and release of extracellular vesicles.

Applications of Functional Amyloids from Fungi: Surface Modification by Class I Hydrophobins. Biomolecules 2017; 7:biom7030045. [PMID: 28672843 PMCID: PMC5618226 DOI: 10.3390/biom7030045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2017] [Revised: 06/20/2017] [Accepted: 06/22/2017] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Class I hydrophobins produced from fungi are amongst the first proteins recognized as functional amyloids. They are amphiphilic proteins involved in the formation of aerial structures such as spores or fruiting bodies. They form chemically robust layers which can only be dissolved in strong acids. These layers adhere to different surfaces, changing their wettability, and allow the binding of other proteins. Herein, the modification of diverse types of surfaces with Class I hydrophobins is reported, highlighting the applications of the coated surfaces. Indeed, these coatings can be exploited in several fields, spanning from biomedical to industrial applications, which include biosensing and textile manufacturing.

Abstract
Silk sericin, a water-soluble glue-like protein, is extensively used as a biomaterial due to its biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, and adequate resource. In addition, hydroxyapatite-based drug carriers are functionally efficient for drug or gene delivery due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility and easy metabolism in vivo. Herein, for the first time, this study used sericin, from a wild silkworm called Antheraea pernyi (A. pernyi), as a template to nucleate hydroxylapatite (HAp) nano-needles and form porous sericin-HAp nanocomposite microspheres as an anticancer drug carrier. Specifically, A. pernyi sericin (AS) was incubated in 1.5× simulated body fluid to induce the formation of porous AS/HAp microspheres in situ. Doxorubicin (DOX) loading and release assays proved that the microspheres exhibited pH-dependent controlled and sustained release of DOX. In particular, the microspheres can selectively release DOX at a higher rate at the acidic conditions typical for tumor microenvironment than at the physiological conditions typical for normal tissues, which will potentially reduce the side effect of the cancer drugs in normal tissues. Cancer cell toxicity assay, cancer cell imaging and intracellular DOX distribution assay provided further evidence to support the pH-dependent controlled and sustained release of DOX to cancer cells from the microspheres. Our work has demonstrated a biomimetic strategy for the design and synthesis of silk protein-based drug carriers that can be potentially employed in drug delivery and regenerative medicine.
