New possibilities for egg white lysozyme: heat-denatured lysozyme partially inactivates select foot-and-mouth disease virus strains.

ABSTRACT: Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the most contagious diseases of cloven-hoofed animals. Disinfectants are used to inactivate FMD virus (FMDV) in Japan. Reports that heat-denatured lysozyme inactivates bacteria as well as viruses, such as norovirus and hepatitis A virus, led us to determine its effects on FMDV. We show here that heat-denatured lysozyme partially inhibited the infectivity of FMDV O/JPN/2010-1/14C but of FMDVs A/TAI/46-1/2015 and Asia1/Shamir (ISR/3/89). Further, heat-denatured lysozyme variably reduced RNA loads of FMDVs O/JPN/2010-1/14C, O/MOG/2/Ca/BU/2017, O/Taiwan/1997, Asia1/Shamir (ISR/3/89), Asia1/TUR/49/2011, SAT1/KEN/117/2009, SAT2/SAU/6/2000 and SAT3/ZIM/3/83 but could not those of O/JPN/2000, A/TAI/46-1/2015, A₂₂/IRQ/24/64, A₁₅/TAI/1/60 and C/PHI/7/84. These findings indicate that heat-denatured lysozyme may serve as a new disinfectant against FMDV.

Heat-Denatured Lysozyme Inactivates Murine Norovirus as a Surrogate Human Norovirus.

Project description:Human norovirus infects humans through the consumption of contaminated food, contact with the excrement or vomit of an infected person, and through airborne droplets that scatter the virus through the air. Being highly infectious and highly viable in the environment, inactivation of the norovirus requires a highly effective inactivating agent. In this study, we have discovered the thermal denaturing capacity of a lysozyme with known antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria, as well as its inactivating effect on murine norovirus. This study is the first report on the norovirus-inactivating effects of a thermally denatured lysozyme. We observed that lysozymes heat-treated for 40 min at 100?°C caused a 4.5 log reduction in infectivity of norovirus. Transmission electron microscope analysis showed that virus particles exposed to thermally denatured lysozymes were expanded, compared to the virus before exposure. The amino acid sequence of the lysozyme was divided into three sections and the peptides of each artificially synthesised, in order to determine the region responsible for the inactivating effect. These results suggest that thermal denaturation of the lysozyme changes the protein structure, activating the region responsible for imparting an inactivating effect against the virus.

Impact of pH and protein hydrophobicity on norovirus inactivation by heat-denatured lysozyme.

Project description:Norovirus, the leading cause of non-bacterial food poisoning, is responsible for several outbreaks associated with bivalves and ready-to-eat food products worldwide. As norovirus is resistant to alcohol, which is commonly used in food manufacturing processes, sodium hypochlorite is used for its inactivation. However, sodium hypochlorite has two disadvantages: it cannot be added to foods, and its effect is significantly reduced in the presence of organic compounds. Thus, a novel disinfectant against norovirus is urgently required for food hygiene. Thermally denatured egg white lysozyme inactivates norovirus; however, the optimal inactivating conditions and the underlying mechanism are unclear. In the present study, the inactivating mechanism of heat-denatured lysozyme against norovirus was analyzed using murine norovirus strain 1 (MNV-1). We found that the inactivating effect was enhanced by adjusting the pH of the lysozyme solution before thermal denaturation to 6.5 or higher. The reaction of heat-denatured lysozyme and MNV-1 was irreversible, and norovirus was completely inactivated after exposure to heat-denatured lysozyme. Furthermore, it was found that lysozyme residues 5-39 contributed to the norovirus-inactivating effect. Notably, the hydrophobicity and positive charges in this region contributed to the norovirus-inactivating effect, as evidenced by the norovirus inactivation test using mutated residues 5-39. These findings are novel and highlight the possible application of heat-denatured lysozyme as a disinfectant against norovirus in a wide range of food processes.

Denatured lysozyme-coated carbon nanotubes: a versatile biohybrid material.

Project description:Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are among the most versatile nanomaterials, but their exploitation is hindered by limited dispersibility, especially in aqueous solvents. Here, we show that AP-LYS, a highly cationic soluble derivative of denatured hen egg lysozyme, is a very effective tool for the unbundling and solubilisation of CNTs. AP-LYS proved to mediate the complete and stable dispersion of CNTs at protein: CNT ratios ?1: 3 (w:w) in very mild conditions (10-20?minutes sonication in ammonium acetate buffer, pH 5.0). Electrophoretic mobility and ?-potential measurements confirmed that dispersed CNTs were coated by the protein, whereas molecular docking was used to study the interactions between AP-LYS and CNTs. AP-LYS-coated CNTs proved to be a very effective microbial cell-flocculating agent with an efficiency similar to that of chitosan, one of the best available flocculating agents, thus suggesting that this hybrid could find industrial applications in the treatment of wastewaters contaminated by microbial cells, or to remove microbial cells after fermentation processes. Moreover, we exploited the low stability of AP-LYS-coated CNT dispersions in eukaryotic cell culture media to prepare scaffolds with an extracellular matrix-like rough surface for the cultivation of eukaryotic cells.

The Pentablock Amphiphilic Copolymer T1107 Prevents Aggregation of Denatured and Reduced Lysozyme.

Project description:Aggregation of denatured or unfolded proteins establishes a large energy barrier to spontaneous recovery of protein form and function following traumatic injury, tissue cryopreservation, and biopharmaceutical storage. Some tissues utilize small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) to prevent irreversible aggregation, which allows more complex processes to refold or remove the unfolded proteins. It is postulated that large, amphiphilic, and biocompatible block copolymers can mimic sHSP function. Reduced and denatured hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) is used as a model aggregating protein. The poloxamine T1107 prevents aggregation of HEWL at 37 °C by three complimentary measures. Structural analysis of denatured HEWL reveals a partially folded conformation with preserved or promoted beta-sheet structures only in the presence of T1107. The physical association of T1107 with denatured HEWL, and the ability to prevent aggregation, is linked to the critical micelle temperature of the polymer. The results suggest that T1107, or a similar amphiphilic block copolymer, can find use as a synthetic chaperone to augment the innate molecular repair mechanisms of natural cells.
