Abstract
Ovalbumin (OVA) is a model antigen commonly incorporated in smartly designed nanoparticles for delivery into antigen-presenting cells (APC), aiming to investigate the immune activity and therapeutic efficacy of nanoparticles that contain immunoregulatory compounds. However, the immunoresponse observed in nano-immunotherapy may unexpectedly arise from endotoxin impurity of OVA in the nanoparticles. Literature review shows that most researchers did not notice the importance of endotoxin-free OVA when used in nano-immunotherapy studies. Concentration at as low as 5 μg/ml OVA from Sigma-Aldrich (contains 0.625 ng/ml endotoxin) was able to activate APC such as dendritic cells and macrophages. Here, we proposed that the endotoxin impurity in OVA or the finished nanoproducts should be determined by both Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) and cell-based assay, to ensure the endotoxin-free quality of the nanoparticles. The endotoxin in OVA can be removed by endotoxin removal column and phase separation methods and endotoxin-free OVA can be purchased. This perspective alerts the researchers of endotoxin impurity of OVA that may transfer into the finished nanoparticles and introduce an unfavorable immunoregulatory function with false-positive results. OVA with minimal endotoxin level should be used in nano-immunotherapy studies to accurately reflect the true effects of nanoparticles on the immune system. This article is categorized under: Toxicology and Regulatory Issues in Nanomedicine > Toxicology of Nanomaterials Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

Abstract
Ovalbumin (OVA), one of the major allergens in hen egg, exhibits extensive structural heterogeneity due to a range of post-translational modifications (PTMs). However, analyzing the structural heterogeneity of native OVA is challenging, and the relationship between heterogeneity and IgG/IgE-binding of OVA remains unclear. In this work, ion exchange chromatography (IXC) with salt gradient elution and on-line detection by native electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS) was used to assess the structural heterogeneity of OVA, while inhibition-ELISA was used to assess the IgG/IgE binding characteristics of OVA. Over 130 different OVA proteoforms (including glycan-free species and 32 pairs of isobaric species) were identified. Proteoforms with acetylation, phosphorylation, oxidation and succinimide modifications had reduced IgG/IgE binding capacities, whereas those with few structural modifications had higher IgG/IgE binding capacities. OVA isoforms with a sialic acid-containing glycan modification had the highest IgG/IgE binding capacity. Our results demonstrate that on-line native IXC/MS with salt gradient elution can be used for rapid assessment of the structural heterogeneity of proteins. An improved understanding of the relationship between IgG/IgE binding capacity and OVA structure provides a basis for developing biotechnology or food processing methods for reducing protein allergenicity reduction.

Abstract
During the processing of biomolecules by ultrafiltration, the lysozyme enzyme undergoes conformational changes, which can affect its antibacterial activity. Operational conditions are considered to be one of the main parameters responsible for such changes, especially when using the same membrane and molecule. The present study demonstrates that, the same cut-off membrane (commercial data) can result in different properties of the protein after filtration, due to their different pore network. The filtration of lysozyme, regardless of the membrane, produces a decrease in the membrane hydraulic permeability (between 10 and 30%) and an increase in its selectivity in terms of observed rejection rate (30%). For the filtrated lysozyme, it appears that the HPLC retention time increases depending on the membrane used. The antibacterial activity of the filtrated samples is lower than the native protein and decreases with the increase of the applied pressure reaching 55–60% loss for 12 bar which has not been reported in the literature before. The observed results by SEC-HPLC and bacteriological tests, suggest that the conformation of the filtrated molecules are indeed modified. These results highlight the relationship between protein conformation or activity and the imposed shear stress.

Characterizing the Binding of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme I Inhibitory Peptide to Human Hemoglobin: Influence of Electromagnetic Fields. Protein Pept Lett 2020; 27:1007-1021. [DOI: 10.2174/1871530320666200425203636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2019] [Revised: 02/18/2020] [Accepted: 02/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Background:
Drug-protein complexes is one of the crucial factors when analyzing the
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug because they can affect the excretion, distribution,
metabolism and interaction with target tissues.
Objectives:
The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction of human hemoglobin (Hb) and
angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitory peptide (ACEIP) in the absence and presence of different-
frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF).
Methods:
Various spectroscopic methods like fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet, circular
dichroism and conductometry techniques were applied to investigate Hb-ACEIP interaction in the
absence and presence of EMF.
Result:
The presented spectroscopic studies indicated that EMF changed the interaction between
Hb and ACEIP. The a-helix content of Hb decreased upon binding to ACEIP and conductivity of
the solution enhanced upon binding. Based on Stern-Volmer equations, it could be stated that the
Hb-ACEIP affinity was higher in the presence of EMF.
Conclusion:
It can be concluded that for patients who use the drug to control blood pressure, a
low-frequency electromagnetic field would have a positive effect on the uptake of the drug.

Abstract
Five major proteins from egg white were separated using a successive extraction/precipitation protocol. The yield and purity of the separated proteins were measured. The separated proteins were confirmed by MALDI-TOF-MS, and their structures were characterized by CD spectrum. Lysozyme was first separated using FPC 3500 resin and then ovomucin from the lysozyme-free egg white. Ammonium sulfate and citric acid were added to the resulting lysozyme- and ovomucin-free egg white solution to precipitate ovotransferrin. Ovomucoid and ovalbumin were separated from the resulting supernatant using ethanol. The separated proteins were further purified and the optimal conditions for the further purifications were suggested. The purity and yield of lysozyme, ovotransferrin, ovalbumin, and ovomucoid were higher than 90% and 77%, while those of ovomucin were about 72% and 75%, respectively. This study separated five major proteins in egg white successively using resin adsorption, pH adjustment, salt/ethanol precipitation, and ultrafiltration.

Abstract
Egg albumen is a potential source of trypsin inhibitor (TI), which has been widely used to improve textural property of surimi or surimi-based food products. TI from duck albumen was isolated and purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation at 20%-40% saturation and affinity chromatography using trypsin-CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B column. TI was purified with purity and yield of 111.8-fold and 0.6%, respectively. The purity of inhibitor was confirmed using Native-PAGE as indicated by the presence of single band. Molecular weight of purified TI was 43 kDa based on SDS-GAGE and gel filtration. The purified TI remained unchanged at temperatures below 60°C and the pH in the range of 7-9. The inhibitory activity of TI was decreased with the addition of salt higher than 5%. Inhibition kinetic study revealed that purified TI from duck albumen was uncompetitive inhibitor and the inhibition constant (Ki) was 508 nM. TI from duck egg albumen could serve as a food grade inhibitor for controlling undesirable proteolysis. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Duck egg albumen has been known to be rich in protease inhibitors, which can be used as a protein additive to enhance gelling properties of surimi or surimi-based products. Therefore, it is of interest to isolate and purify TI from duck egg albumen. Information regarding characteristics of TI from duck albumen could be beneficial for further applications, in which duck albumen is better exploited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hen eggs are widely used in food industry as a result of their excellent nutritional and processing properties and ovalbumin (OVA) is the major allergen of hen egg whites. Ultrasound has been widely used in the food processing industry, although the effect of high-intensity ultrasound on the immunoglobulin (Ig)G binding, IgE binding and conformational structure of OVA remains unclear. RESULTS Ultrasound treatment at 600-800 W dramatically increased the IgG and IgE binding of OVA, with the highest values observed at 600 W. The free sulfhydryl content, surface hydrophobicity and ultraviolet absorption were gradually increased when the power was increased from 200 to 600 W, implying the occurrence of molecule unfolding. When the power was 800 W, the binding ability was slightly decreased and was associated with the aggregation of OVA molecules. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis implied that ultrasound treatment at 800 W could induce the aggregation of OVA molecules via disulfide bonds and/or hydrophobic interactions. CONCLUSION High-intensity ultrasound can increase the potential allergenicity of OVA. Therefore, high-intensity ultrasound processing of some egg products alone may improve the risk of an allergenic reaction in egg allergy patients to some extent. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The ability of aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) composed of polyethylene glycols of different molecular weights (PEG 400, 600 and 1000) and buffered aqueous solutions of potassium citrate/citric acid (pH = 5.0 - 8.0) to selectively extract ovalbumin from egg white was here investigated. Phase diagrams, tie-lines and tie-line lengths were determined at 25ºC and the partitioning of ovalbumin in these systems was then evaluated. Aiming at optimizing the selective extraction of ovalbumin in the studied ABS, factors such as pH, PEG molecular weight and amount of the phase-forming components were initially investigated with pure commercial ovalbumin. In almost all ABS, it was observed a preferential partitioning of ovalbumin to the polymer-rich phase, with extraction efficiencies higher than 90%. The best ABS were then applied in the purification of ovalbumin from the real egg white matrix. In order to ascertain on the ovalbumin purity and yield, sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC) analyses were conducted, confirming that the isolation/purification of ovalbumin from egg white was completely achieved in a single-step with a recovery yield of 65%. The results obtained show that polymer-salt-based ABS allow the selective extraction of ovalbumin from egg white with a simpler approach and better performance than previously reported. Finally, it is shown that ovalbumin can be completely recovered from the PEG-rich phase by an induced precipitation using an inexpensive and sustainable separation platform which can be easily applied on an industrial scale.

Abstract
The interactions between cyclophosphamide (CYC) and lysozyme (LYZ) in the presence of different cyclodextrins (CDs) were investigated by UV absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), and molecular modeling techniques under imitated physiological conditions. The UV absorption results showed the formation of complexes between CYC and LYZ in the presence of different CDs. Fluorescence data show that CYC has a stronger quenching effect on LYZ, and the red shifts suggested that the microenvironment of Trp residues was changed and became more hydrophilic. The interaction of CYC with LYZ and quenching properties of the complexes caused strong static fluorescence quenching in binary and ternary systems. The binding affinities as well as the number of binding sites were obtained from interaction between CYC and LYZ in the presence of different CDs as binary and ternary systems by modified Stern-Volmer plots. The Resonance Light Scattering (RLS) technique was utilized to investigate the effect of drug and CDs on conformational changes of LYZ as separate and simultaneous. The results suggested that the enhancement of RLS intensity was attributed to the formation of a complex between drug and protein in absence and presence of CDs. The effect of CYC and cyclodextrins on the conformation of LYZ was analyzed using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. Our results revealed that the fluorescence quenching of LYZ originated from the Trp and Tyr residues, and demonstrated conformational changes of LYZ with the addition of CYC and CDs. The molecular distances between the donor (LYZ) and acceptor (CYC and CDs) in binary and ternary systems were estimated according to Forster’s theory and showed static quenching for protein with CYC in the presence of CDs. The CD spectra indicated that the binding of the CYC induced secondary structural changes in LYZ in binary and ternary systems. Molecular modeling suggested the binding sites of CYC in the ternary systems differ from those in the binary systems. estimated the distance between CYC and Trp residues in binary and ternary systems in the presence of CDs and confirmed the experimental results.

Abstract
PEGylation is one of the most promising and extensively studied strategies for improving the pharmacological properties of proteins as well as their physical and thermal stability. Purified lysozyme obtained from hen egg white by batch mode was modified by PEGylation with methoxypolyethyleneglycol succinimidyl succinato (mPEG-SS, MW 5000). The conjugates produced retained full enzyme activity with the substrate glycol chitosan, independent of degree of enzyme modification, although lysozyme activity with the substrate Micrococcus lysodeikticus was altered according to the degree of modification. The conjugate with a low degree of modification by mPEG-SS retained 67% of its enzyme activity with the M. lysodeikticus substrate. The mPEG-SS was also shown to be a highly reactive polymer. The effects of pH and temperature on PEGylated lysozymes indicated that the conjugate was active over a wide pH range and was stable up to 50 degrees C. This conjugate also showed resistance to proteolytic degradation, remained stable in human serum, and displayed greater antimicrobial activity than native lysozyme against Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
The hydrophobic affinity ligand L-tryptophan immobilized magnetic poly(glycidyl methacrylate) [m-poly(GMA)] beads in monosize form (1.6 microm in diameter) were used for the affinity purification of lysozyme from chicken egg white. The m-poly(GMA) beads were prepared by dispersion polymerization in the presence of Fe3O4 nano-powder. The epoxy groups of the m-poly(GMA) beads were converted into amino groups with 1,6 diaminohexane (i.e., spacer arm). l-tryptophan was then covalently immobilized on spacer arm attached m-poly(GMA) beads. Elemental analysis of immobilised L-tryptophan for nitrogen was estimated as 42.5 micromol/g polymer. Adsorption studies were performed under different conditions in a batch system (i.e., medium pH, protein concentration and temperature). Maximum lysozyme adsorption amount of m-poly(GMA) and m-poly(GMA)-L-tryptophan beads were 1.78 and 259.6 mg/g, respectively. The applicability of two kinetic models including pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order model was estimated on the basis of comparative analysis of the corresponding rate parameters, equilibrium adsorption capacity and correlation coefficients. Results suggest that chemisorption processes could be the rate-limiting step in the adsorption process. It was observed that after 10 adsorption-elution cycle, m-poly(GMA)-L-tryptophan beads can be used without significant loss in lysozyme adsorption capacity. Purification of lysozyme from egg white was also investigated. Purification of lysozyme was monitored by determining the lysozyme activity using Micrococcus lysodeikticus as substrate. It was found to be successful in achieving purification of lysozyme in a high yield of 76% with a purification fold of 71 in a single step. The specific activity of the eluted lysozyme (62,580 U/mg) was higher than that obtained with a commercially available pure lysozyme (Sigma (60,000 U/mg).
