Abstract
In the research presented in this manuscript, an intricate study has been carried out on the interaction of zinc ions with the hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) protein. Utilizing a spectroscopic technique, the alterations that arise due to the binding of Zn2+ to the HEWL were scrutinized, underscoring the paramount significance of deprotonated carboxyl and thiol groups in the process of binding. The binding phenomena were substantiated using capillary electrophoresis integrated with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CE-ICP-MS). Further spectrometric assessments (MALDI-TOF MS and FT-ICR-MS) shed light on the direct interaction of zinc ions with the functional groups of the protein. Importantly, high-resolution FT-ICR-MS techniques elucidated the capability of a single protein molecule to bind to multiple zinc ions. The empirically derived spectroscopic data received additional confirmation via a molecular docking study of the Zn2+ binding process, which highlighted a substantial affinity between the predicted 3D model of zinc-lysozyme complexes. Predominantly, the interaction between the bound entities was observed at the cysteine residues. Lastly, the conducted antimicrobial tests revealed that the zinc-lysozyme complexes manifest an inhibitory effect against bacterial (E. coli and S. aureus) and yeast (C. albicans) strains.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 222:113135. [PMID: 36640537 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
The investigations of protein adsorption and release on interfaces aid in the elucidation of the protein-surface interaction mechanism, which has several applications in the biomedical area. The spectro-kinetic and morphological analysis of the release of lysozyme (Lyz) from chitosan/polystyrene sulphonate (CHI/PSS) multilayer immobilized at pHs 10.6, 8.8 and 5.0 shows that the extent of release strongly depends on the pH of Lyz loading and the ionic strength of the desorbing solution. When compared to pH 8.8, the release for pH 10.6 achieves equilibrium more rapidly. At loading pH 10.6, the release is surface-mediated, at pH 8.8, it is both surface- and bulk-mediated, while at pH 5.0 it is bulk mediated with minimal release. Lyz released for loading pH 10.6 retains its native secondary structure. Kinetic fitting suggests that high loading pH 8.8-10.6 and high release ionic strength (0.5-1.0 M NaCl) lead to burst release of Lyz from CHI/PSS multilayer. Surface morphology changes of multilayer interface upon Lyz loading and release are highlighted by SEM topography and AFM height distribution analysis. The present work indicates that CHI/PSS multilayer system can function as a reservoir for burst as well as controlled release of lysozyme by selecting the loading pH and ionic strength.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 130:342-349. [PMID: 36122641 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2022.09.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The used automobile crankcase oils are potential sources of contaminant elements for the coastal-marine ecosystems, affecting mainly the immunological system of organisms that feed by filtration, e. g. scallops. This study examined the effects of a water-soluble fraction of used automobile crankcase oils (WSF-UACO) on innate cellular- and humoral immune responses of the flame scallop Ctenoides scaber. The scallops were exposed to ascending concentrations of 0, 0.001, 0.01, and 0.1 of WSF-UACO under a static system of aquaria during 7 and 13 d. The viability, haemocyte total count (HTC), lysosomal membrane destabilization (LMD), phagocytosis, and protein concentration in hemolymph samples withdrawn taken from the blood sinus as well as lysozyme activity of the digestive gland were measured as immune endpoints. A decrease in cellular immune competence in scallops exposed to WSF-UACO was observed, with significant impairment of viability, HTC, and phagocytosis. LMD index increased about exposure concentrations, and plasma protein concentrations augmented to 0.01 and 0.1% during 13 d. Lysozyme activity increased in scallops exposed to WSF-UVCO during 7 d, to level off in the chronic period. Lysozyme activity and enhanced plasma proteins could act as compensatory responses when cell parameters tend to fall, helping to the regulation of microbial microflora and possible invasion of pathogenic microbes as well as defense against xenobiotics. The results demonstrate that the immunological responses of C. scaber are highly sensitive to the complex chemical mixture of contaminants, and it could be used for evaluating biological risks of hazardous xenobiotics in tropical marine environments.

Abstract
Lysozyme is a ~14 kDa protein present in many mucosal secretions (tears, saliva, and mucus) and tissues of animals and plants, and plays an important role in the innate immunity, providing protection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Three main different types of lysozymes are known: the c-type (chicken or conventional type), the g-type (goose type), and the i-type (invertebrate type). It has long been the subject of several applications due to its antimicrobial properties. The problem of antibiotic resistance has stimulated the search for new molecules or new applications of known compounds. The use of lysozyme as an alternative antibiotic is the subject of this review, which covers the results published over the past two decades. This review is focused on the applications of lysozyme in medicine, (the treatment of infectious diseases, wound healing, and anti-biofilm), veterinary, feed, food preservation, and crop protection. It is available from a wide range of sources, in addition to the well-known chicken egg white, and its synergism with other compounds, endowed with antimicrobial activity, are also summarized. An overview of the modified lysozyme applications is provided in the form of tables.
