Molecular Modeling of Cloned Bacillus subtilis Keratinase and Its Insinuation in Psoriasis Treatment Using Docking Studies.

ABSTRACT: Present study demonstrated the expression of cloned Bacillus subtilis RSE163 keratinase gene and in silico binding affinities of deduced protein with psoriasis topical drugs for systemic absorption and permeation through skin. The ker gene expressed in E. coli showed significantly higher keratinase activity 450 ± 10.43 U representing 1342 bp nucleotides encoding 447 amino acids with molecular weight of 46 kDa. The modeled structure was validated using ramachandran's plot showing 305 residues (84.3%) in most favoured region. Docking studies using extra precision (XP) method of Glide showed optimum binding affinities with the drugs Acitretin (- 39.62 kcal/mol), Clobetasol propionate (- 37.90 kcal/mol), Fluticasone (- 38.53 kcal/mol), Desonide (- 32.23 kcal/mol), Anthralin (- 38.04 kcal/mol), Calcipotreine (- 21.55 kcal/mol) and Mometasone (- 28.40 kcal/mol) in comparison to other psoriasis drugs. The results can further be correlated with in vitro enzymatic experiments using keratinase as an effective drug mediator through skin to serve the unmet need of industries.

Project description:Radioresistant microorganisms possess inimitable capabilities enabling them to thrive under extreme radiation. However, the existence of radiosensitive microorganisms inhabiting such an inhospitable environment is still a mystery. The current study examines the potential of radioresistant microorganisms to protect radiosensitive microorganisms in harsh environments. Bacillus subtilis strain ASM-1 was isolated from the Thal desert in Pakistan and evaluated for antioxidative and radioprotective potential after being exposed to UV radiation. The strain exhibited 54.91% survivability under UVB radiation (5.424 × 103 J/m2 for 8 min) and 50.94% to mitomycin-C (4 µg/mL). Extracellular fractions collected from ASM-1 extracts showed significant antioxidant potential, and chemical profiling revealed a pool of bioactive compounds, including pyrrolopyrazines, amides, alcoholics, and phenolics. The E-2 fraction showed the maximum antioxidant potential via DPPH assay (75%), and H2O2 scavenging assay (68%). A combination of ASM-1 supernatant with E-2 fraction (50 µL in a ratio of 2:1) provided substantial protection to radiosensitive cell types, Bacillus altitudinis ASM-9 (MT722073) and E. coli (ATCC 10536), under UVB radiation. Docking studies reveal that the compound supported by literature against the target proteins have strong binding affinities which further inferred its medical uses in health care treatment. This is followed by molecular dynamic simulations where it was observed among trajectories that there were no significant changes in major secondary structure elements, despite the presence of naturally flexible loops. This behavior can be interpreted as a strategy to enhance intermolecular conformational stability as the simulation progresses. Thus, our study concludes that Bacillus subtilis ASM-1 protects radiosensitive strains from radiation-induced injuries via biofilm formation and secretion of antioxidative and radioprotective compounds in the environment.
