Chembiochem 2024; 25:e202300554. [PMID: 37792876 DOI: 10.1002/cbic.202300554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023]
Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), consisting of metallic gold, are applied in various fields owing to their characteristic physical properties. Collimonas sp. D-25 (D-25) is a Gram-negative bacterium obtained from soil, compost, and other environmental materials in the Akita Prefecture. DP-1 is a water-soluble protein found in D-25 that binds specifically to AuNPs and retains them with high stability. This study aimed to identify the part of DP-1 that interacts with AuNPs and determine its 3D structure in solution using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Peptide fragments obtained by trypsin digestion were examined for their AuNP-binding capacity to determine the key Au-binding domain of DP-1. A fragment consisting of 16 amino acid residues (GHAATPEQYGVVTANK) was identified as the peptide with the highest binding activity. Structural analyses of this peptide indicated that the main chain was elongated, and negatively charged residues in the side chain were exposed on the surface by incorporating AuNPs. These results suggest that DP-1 interacts with AuNPs through negatively charged residues and extended hydrophobic residues for protein-protein interactions. The structural data also provide new insights into biomimetic technologies.

Abstract
Specialist bacteria can synthesize nanoparticles from various metal ions in solution. Metal recovery with high efficiency can be achieved by metal-tolerant microorganisms that proliferate in a concentrated metal solution. In this study, we isolated bacteria (Pseudomonas sp. strain KKY-29) from a bacterial library collected from water near an abandoned mine in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. KKY-29 was maintained in nutrient medium with lead acetate and synthesized hydrocerussite and pyromorphite nanoparticles inside the cell; KKY-29 also survived nanoparticle synthesis. Quantitative PCR analysis of genes related to phosphate metabolism showed that KKY-29 decomposed organic phosphorus to synthesize lead phosphate. KKY-29 also deposited various metal ions and synthesized metal nanoparticles when incubated in various metal salt solutions other than lead. The present study considers the development of biotechnology to recover lead as an economically valuable material.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of Au-Pd core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) with wild-type Escherichia coli (Au-Pd/E. coli) is an excellent newly established, environmentally friendly synthetic method for the fabrication of nanomaterials compared to traditional chemosynthesis. However, there is insufficient detailed bioinformation on the compatibility, metabolic process, and mechanism of this approach. Metabolomics approaches have provided an excellent alternative to numerous bioinformatics approaches for shedding light on the biological response of an organism exposed to external stimuli at the molecular level. In this study, two different doses (8 and 80 μg/mL) of Au-Pd/E. coli were applied to treat human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry coupled with bioinformatics was used to analyze the changes in the HUVEC metabolome after treatment. The results indicated the occurrence of nonsignificant acute cytotoxicity based on cell proliferation and apoptosis analysis, while high concentrations (80 μg/mL) of Au-Pd/E. coli induced dramatic changes in energy metabolism, revealing a notable inhibition of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle along with the enhancement of glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid biosynthesis, and lipid accumulation, which was correlated with mitochondrial dysfunction. The metabolomics results obtained for this novel Au-Pd/E. coli-cell system could broaden our knowledge of the biological effect of Au-Pd/E. coli and possibly reveal material modifications and technological innovations.

Abstract
The development of fluorescence sensing platforms with excellent photoluminescence capabilities is of great importance for their further application. In this work, a photonic crystal structure was successfully applied to enhance the luminescence performance of fluorescent hydrogel, and the application of the obtained hydrogel as a fluorescence sensor was explored. A polystyrene photonic crystal template was constructed via vertical deposition self-assembly; then, the precursor solution containing polyethylenimine-capped CdS quantum dots (PEI-CdS QDs) and monomers filled in the gap of the template. After the polymerization process, the desired hydrogel was obtained. PEI-CdS QDs endowed the hydrogel with its fluorescence property, while interestingly, the photonic crystal structure showed a significant enhancement effect on the fluorescence-emission capability. The mechanism of this phenomenon was revealed. Moreover, this hydrogel could be used as a reusable fluorescence sensor for the detection of nitrite in water with good selectivity. The limit of detection was determined to be 0.25 μmol/L, which is much lower than the maximum limit for nitrite in drinking water.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Live cells, as reservoirs of biochemical reactions, can serve as amazing integrated chemical plants where precursor formation, nucleation and growth of nanocrystals, and functional assembly can be carried out accurately following an artificial program. It is crucial but challenging to deliberately direct intracellular pathways to synthesize desired nanocrystals that cannot be produced naturally in cells, because the relevant reactions exist in different spatiotemporal dimensions and will never encounter spontaneously. This article summarizes progress in the introduction of inorganic functional nanocrystals into live cells via the ‘artificial-regulated space–time-coupled live-cell synthesis’ strategy. We also describe ingenious bio-applications of the nanocrystal–cell systems, and quasi-biosynthesis strategies expanded from live-cell synthesis. Artificial-regulated live-cell synthesis—which involves the interdisciplinary application of biology, chemistry, nanoscience and medicine—will enable researchers to better exploit the unanticipated potentialities of live cells and open up new directions in synthetic biology.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is considered one of the paramount forefronts in science over the last decade. Its versatile implementations and fast-growing demand have paved the way for innovative measures for the synthesis of higher quality nanomaterials. In the early stages, traditional synthesis methods were utilized, and they relied on both carcinogenic chemicals and high energy input for production of nano-sized material. The pollution produced as a result of traditional synthesis methods induces a need for environmentally safer synthesis methods. As the downfalls of climate change become more abundant, the scientific community is persistently seeking solutions to combat the devastation caused by toxic production methods. Green methods for nanomaterial synthesis apply natural biological systems to nanomaterial production. The present review highlights the history of nanoparticle synthesis, starting with traditional methods and progressing towards green methods. Green synthesis is a method just as effective, if not more so, than traditional synthesis; it provides a sustainable approach to nanomaterial manufacturing by using naturally sourced starting materials and relying on low energy processes. The recent use of active molecules in natural biological systems such as bacteria, yeast, algae and fungi report successful results in the synthesis of various nanoparticle systems. Thus, the integration of green synthesis in scientific research and mass production provides a potential solution to the limitations of traditional synthesis methods.

Abstract
Inorganic nanomaterials (NMs) have shown potential application in tumor-targeting theranostics, owing to their unique physicochemical properties. Some living cells in nature can absorb surrounding ions in the environment and then convert them into nanomaterials after a series of intracellular/extracellular biochemical reactions. Inspired by that, a variety of living cells have been used as biofactories to produce metallic/metallic alloy NMs, metalloid NMs, oxide NMs and chalcogenide NMs, which are usually automatically capped with biomolecules originating from the living cells, benefitting their tumor-targeting applications. In this review, we summarize the biosynthesis of inorganic nanomaterials in different types of living cells including bacteria, fungi, plant cells and animal cells, accompanied by their application in tumor-targeting theranostics. The mechanisms involving inorganic-ion bioreduction and detoxification as well as biomineralization are emphasized. Based on the mechanisms, we describe the size and morphology control of the products via the modulation of precursor ion concentration, pH, temperature, and incubation time, as well as cell metabolism by a genetic engineering strategy. The strengths and weaknesses of these biosynthetic processes are compared in terms of the controllability, scalability and cooperativity during applications. Future research in this area will add to the diversity of available inorganic nanomaterials as well as their quality and biosafety.

Abstract
Abstract
Biomineralization by living organisms are common phenomena observed everywhere. Molluskan shells are representative biominerals that have fine microstructures with controlled morphology, polymorph, and orientation of CaCO3 crystals. A few organic molecules involved in the biominerals play important roles in the formation of such microstructures. Analyses of structure–function relationships for matrix proteins in biominerals revealed that almost all matrix proteins have an acidic region for the binding of calcium ion in CaCO3 crystals and interaction domains for other organic molecules. On the other hand, biomineralization of metal nanoparticles by microorganisms were also investigated. Gold nanoparticles and quantum dots containing cadmium were successfully synthesized by bacteria or a fungus. The analyses of components revealed that glycolipids, oligosaccharides, and lactic acids have key roles to synthesize the gold nanoparticle in Lactobacillus casei as reductants and dispersants. These researches about biomineralization will give new insights for material and environmental sciences in the human society.

Abstract
When silk fibroin particles are used for controlled drug delivery, particle size plays a key role in the location of the carrier on the cells as well as the transport pathway, utilization efficiency, and therapeutic effect of the drugs. In this study, the interactions of different-sized silk fibroin particles and cell lines were investigated. Silk fibroin microparticles with dry size of 1.9 ± 0.4 μm (2.7 ± 0.3 μm in wet state) and silk fibroin nanoparticles with dry size of 51.5 ± 11.0 nm (174.8 ± 12.5 nm in wet state) were prepared by salting-out method and high-voltage electrospray method, respectively. CdSe/ZnS quantum dots were coupled to the surface of the micro/nanoparticles. Photostability observations indicated that the fluorescence stability of the quantum dots was much higher than that of fluorescein isothiocyanate. In vitro, microparticles and nanoparticles were co-cultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells EA.hy 926 and cervical cancer cells HeLa, respectively. The fluorescence test and cell viability showed that the EA.hy926 cells tended to be adhered to the microparticle surfaces and the cell proliferation was significantly promoted, while the nanoparticles were more likely to be internalized in HeLa cells and the cell proliferation was notably inhibited. Our findings might provide useful information concerning effective drug delivery that microparticles may be preferred if the drugs need to be delivered to normal cell surface, while nanoparticles may be preferred if the drugs need to be transmitted in tumor cells.

Abstract
Bionanotechnology, the use of biological resources to produce novel, valuable nanomaterials, has witnessed tremendous developments over the past two decades. This eco-friendly and sustainable approach enables the synthesis of numerous, diverse types of useful nanomaterials for many medical, commercial, and scientific applications. Countless reviews describing the biosynthesis of nanomaterials have been published. However, to the best of our knowledge, no review has been exclusively focused on the in vivo biosynthesis of inorganic nanomaterials. Therefore, the present review is dedicated to filling this gap by describing the many different facets of the in vivo biosynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) using living eukaryotic cells and organisms-more specifically, live plants and living biomass of several species of microalgae, yeast, fungus, mammalian cells, and animals. It also highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the synthesis methodologies and the NP characteristics, bio-applications, and proposed synthesis mechanisms. This comprehensive review also brings attention to enabling a better understanding between the living organisms themselves and the synthesis conditions that allow their exploitation as nanobiotechnological production platforms as these might serve as a robust resource to boost and expand the bio-production and use of desirable, functional inorganic nanomaterials.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (NPs), with sizes ranging from 1–100 nm, are of great scientific interest because their functions and features differ greatly from those of bulk metal. Chemical or physical methods are used to synthesize commercial quantities of NPs, and green, energy-efficient approaches generating byproducts of low toxicity are desirable to minimize the environmental impact of the industrial methods. Some microorganisms synthesize metal NPs for detoxification and metabolic reasons at room temperature and pressure in aqueous solution. Metal NPs have been prepared via green methods by incubating microorganisms or cell-free extracts of microorganisms with dissolved metal ions for hours or days. Metal NPs are analyzed using various techniques, such as ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Numerous publications have focused on microorganisms that synthesize various metal NPs. For example, Ag, Au, CdS, CdSe, Cu, CuO, Gd2O3, Fe3O4, PbS, Pd, Sb2O3, TiO2, and ZrO2 NPs have been reported. Herein, we review the synthesis of metal NPs by microorganisms. Although the molecular mechanisms of their synthesis have been investigated to some extent, experimental evidence for the mechanisms is limited. Understanding the mechanisms is crucial for industrial-scale development of microorganism-synthesized metal NPs.

Decreased aluminium tolerance in the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with SSO2 gene disruption. Biometals 2018; 31:203-215.

Abstract
Aluminium ions inhibit growth of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Disruption of the SSO2 gene increased the susceptibility to aluminium. Sso2p belongs to the soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) family. SSO2 has one paralogue, SSO1, which encodes Sso1p. The SNARE complex containing Sso1/2p plays a role in the recognition of plasma membrane targeted vesicle transport. The susceptibility to aluminium stress was not increased in the Δsso1 strain. The phenotype of aluminium ion influx between the wild-type and Δsso2 strains was not different, suggesting that Sso2p was involved in the elimination of cellular aluminium. However, the cellular lipid constitution of Δsso2 was richer in unsaturated fatty acids than the wild type, indicating that Sso2p is associated with lipid homeostasis of the plasma membrane. Aluminium treatment increased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during proliferation. ROS production was increased in the Δsso2 strain after 3 h of aluminium treatment compared with the wild type. These results suggested that Sso2p plays a role in maintaining the lipid composition of the plasma membrane and the increase in unsaturated fatty acids amplified the production of ROS in the acute phase of aluminium stress. ROS derived from aluminium stress inhibited growth and resulted in the susceptibility of the Δsso2 strain.

[PMID: 28834386 PMCID: PMC5609244 DOI: 10.1111/1751-7915.12801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2017] [Revised: 07/08/2017] [Accepted: 07/12/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Microbially generated or supported nanocatalysts have potential applications in green chemistry and environmental application. However, precious (and base) metals biorefined from wastes may be useful for making cheap, low-grade catalysts for clean energy production. The concept of bionanomaterials for energy applications is reviewed with respect to potential fuel cell applications, bio-catalytic upgrading of oils and manufacturing 'drop-in fuel' precursors. Cheap, effective biomaterials would facilitate progress towards dual development goals of sustainable consumption and production patterns and help to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy.
