Abstract
Abstract
Natural pigskin was subjected to cryogrinding before extraction, and effects of the approach on extraction rate, structure, and properties of collagen were prospected systematically. It was found that the extraction rate multiplied gradually from 22% to 40% with an extended grinding duration from 0 to 20 min. Compared with natural collagen, the ground one soared by about 80% concerning the net yield. Electrophoresis revealed the stereo structures of the extracted collagen were not destroyed when ground, while a small amount of it degraded accordingly, whose conclusion was further corroborated by circular dichroism (CD) and infrared spectrometry. Results from contact angle (CA) test clarified that the hydrophilicity of collagen enhanced with prolonged grinding. Moreover, analysis of fibrillogenesis behavior verified that, after grinding, the assembly rate for collagen in the turbidity assay dented with a lengthened equilibrium time; finer fibril network with larger pore size and weakened elasticity was later observed. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) analysis manifested that ground collagen was more conducive to cell proliferation. This polymer processing approach not only provides us with a facile approach to manipulate capacities of collagen but also sheds light on other potential substances beneath the same principle.

A novel peptide isolated from Catla skin collagen acts as a self-assembling scaffold promoting nucleation of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite nanocrystals. J Biochem 2023; 173:197-224. [PMID: 36494197 DOI: 10.1093/jb/mvac103] [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: 05/28/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Catla collagen hydrolysate (CH) was fractionated by chromatography and each fraction was subjected to HA nucleation, with the resultant HA-fraction composites being scored based on the structural and functional group of the HA formed. The process was repeated till a single peptide with augmented HA nucleation capacity was obtained. The peptide (4.6 kDa), exhibited high solubility, existed in polyproline-II conformation and displayed a dynamic yet stable hierarchical self-assembling property. The 3D modelling of the peptide revealed multiple calcium and phosphate binding sites and a high propensity to self-assemble. Structural analysis of the peptide-HA crystals revealed characteristic diffraction planes of HA with mineralization following the (002) plane, retention of the self-assembled hierarchy of the peptide and intense ionic interactions between carboxyl groups and calcium. The peptide-HA composite crystals were mostly of 25-40 nm dimensions and displayed 79% mineralization, 92% crystallinity, 39.25% porosity, 12GPa Young's modulus and enhanced stability in physiological pH. Cells grown on peptide-HA depicted faster proliferation rates and higher levels of osteogenic markers. It was concluded that the prerequisite for HA nucleation by a peptide included: a conserved sequence with a unique charge topology allowing calcium chelation and its ability to form a dynamic self-assembled hierarchy for crystal propagation.

Abstract
Aggregation kinetics of nanoplastics in aquatic environment are influenced by their interactions with proteins having different structures and properties. This study employed time-resolved dynamic light scattering (TR-DLS) to investigate the effects of 5 proteins (bovine hemoglobin (BHb), bovine (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA), collagen type I (Col I), and bovine casein (CS)) on aggregation kinetics of polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) under natural water conditions, which were simulated using various ionic strength (1-1000 mM NaCl and 0.01-100 mM CaCl2), pH (3-9), and protein concentration (1-5 mg/L of total organic carbon). The results indicated that the interactions between proteins and PSNPs strongly depended on electrostatic properties, protein structures, and solution chemistries, which induced distinct aggregation behaviors in NaCl and CaCl2 solutions. Electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance dominated their interactions in NaCl solution by stabilizing PSNPs with the order of spherical BSA and disordered CS > heart-shaped HSA > fibrillar Col I; whereas positively charged BHb destabilized PSNPs with aggregation rate of 1.71 nm/s at 300 mM NaCl. In contrast, at CaCl2 concentration below 20 mM, proteins destabilized PSNPs following the sequence of HSA > BHb > Col I > BSA depending on counterbalance among double layer compression, cation bridging, and steric hindrance; whereas CS stabilized PSNPs by precipitating Ca2+ that inhibited charge screening effect. Both protein concentration and solution pH affected protein corona formation, surface charge, and protein structure that altered stability of PSNPs. Characterizations using fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and two-dimensional correlation analysis spectroscopy showed fluorescence quenching and ellipticity reduction of proteins, indicating strong adsorption affinity between PSNPs and proteins. The study provides insight to how protein configuration and water chemistry affect fate and transport of nanoplastics in aquatic environment.
