Effect of metal ions on the kinetics of tyrosine oxidation catalysed by tyrosinase.

ABSTRACT: The conversion of tyrosine into dopa [3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)alanine] is the rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of melanins catalysed by tyrosinase. This hydroxylation reaction is characterized by a lag period, the extent of which depends on various parameters, notably the presence of a suitable hydrogen donor such as dopa or tetrahydropterin. We have now found that catalytic amounts of Fe2+ ions have the same effect as dopa in stimulating the tyrosine hydroxylase activity of the enzyme. Kinetic experiments showed that the shortening of the induction time depends on the concentration of the added metal and the nature of the buffer system used and is not suppressed by superoxide dismutase, catalase, formate or mannitol. Notably, Fe3+ ions showed only a small delaying effect on tyrosinase activity. Among the other metals which were tested, Zn2+, Co2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ had no detectable influence, whereas Cu2+ and Mn2+ exhibited a marked inhibitory effect on the kinetics of tyrosine oxidation. These findings are discussed in the light of the commonly accepted mechanism of action of tyrosinase.

Effect of Transition Metal Ions on the B Ring Oxidation of Sterols and their Kinetics in Oil-in-Water Emulsions.

Project description:This study investigated the effect of metal ions on the oxidation of sterols and their kinetics in oil-in-water emulsions. Sterol substrates were added with different metal ions (Cu(2+), Fe(2+), Mn(2+), Zn(2+), Na(+), and Mg(2+)) of five concentrations and investigated after 2?h of heating at 90?°C. The substrates added with Fe(2+) and Cu(2+) were heated continuously to evaluate the kinetics of four sterols and their corresponding sterol oxidation products (SOPs). Sterol oxidation increased as the metal ion concentration increased and the heating time was prolonged. The capability of the metal ions oxidizing sterols ranked as followed: Fe(2+)?>?Cu(2+)?>?Mn(2+)?>?Zn(2+)?>?Mg(2+)???Na(+). 7-Ketosterol, 7?/7?-Hydroxysterol, 5?,6?/5?,6?-Epoxysterol, and Triols were the main oxides on the B ring, whereas 6?-Hydroxysterol was not or only slightly influenced. The acceleration of sterol degradation induced by Fe(2+) and Cu(2+), as well as the formation of oxidation products, followed first-order formation/elimination kinetics. The acceleration effect may be partly ascribed to the increase in elimination rate constant and formation rate constant. Transition metal ions can significantly induce sterol oxidation, which reduces food nutritional quality and triggers the formation of undesirable compounds, such as SOPs.

Oxidation of monohydric phenol substrates by tyrosinase: effect of dithiothreitol on kinetics.

Project description:The effect of thiol compounds on the monophenolase activity of tyrosinase was investigated using 4-hydroxyanisole as the substrate and dithiothreitol (DTT) as the model thiol compound. We have demonstrated three actions of DTT on tyrosinase-catalysed reactions: (1) direct reduction of the copper at the active site of the enzyme; (2) generation of secondary, oxidizable species by adduct formation with the o-quinone reaction product, 4-MOB, which leads to an increase in the total oxygen utilization by the reaction system; and (3) reversible inhibition of the enzyme. We confirm our previous observation that, at approx. 10 mol of DTT/mol of enzyme, the lag phase associated with monohydric phenol oxidation by tyrosinase is abolished. We suggest that this is due to reduction of the copper at the active site of the enzyme by DTT, since (a) reduction of active-site copper in situ by DTT was demonstrated by [Cu(I)]2-carbon monoxide complex formation and (b) abolition of the lag at low DTT concentration occurs without effect on the maximum rate of reaction or on the total amount of oxygen utilized. At concentrations of DTT above that required to abolish the lag, we found that the initial velocity of the reaction increased with increasing DTT, with a concomitant increase in the total oxygen utilization. This is due to the formation of DTT-4-methoxy-o-benzoquinone (4-MOB) adducts which provide additional dihydric phenol substrate either directly or by reducing nascent 4-MOB. We present n.m.r. evidence for the formation of mono- and di-aromatic DTT adducts with 4-MOB, consistent with a suggested reoxidation scheme in the presence of tyrosinase. Inhibition of the enzyme at concentrations of DTT above 300 pmol/unit of enzyme was released on exhaustion of DTT by adduct formation with 4-MOB as it was generated.

Metal Ions Supported Porous Coatings by Using AC Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Processing.

Project description:Coatings enriched with zinc and copper as well as calcium or magnesium, fabricated on titanium substrate by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) under AC conditions (two cathodic voltages, i.e., -35 or -135 V, and anodic voltage of +400 V), were investigated. In all experiments, the electrolytes were based on concentrated orthophosphoric acid (85 wt%) and zinc, copper, calcium and/or magnesium nitrates. It was found that the introduced calcium and magnesium were in the ranges 5.0-5.4 at% and 5.6-6.5 at%, respectively, while the zinc and copper amounts were in the range of 0.3-0.6 at%. Additionally, it was noted that the metals of the block S (Ca and Mg) could be incorporated into the structure about 13 times more than metals of the transition group (Zn and Cu). The incorporated metals (from the electrolyte) into the top-layer of PEO phosphate coatings were on their first (Cu+) or second (Cu2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+) oxidation states. The crystalline phases (TiO and Ti3O) were detected only in coatings fabricated at cathodic voltage of -135 V. It has also been pointed that fabricated porous calcium-phosphate coatings enriched with biocompatible magnesium as well as with antibacterial zinc and copper are dedicated mainly to medical applications. However, their use for other applications (e.g., catalysis and photocatalysis) after additional functionalizations is not excluded.

Fluorescence Quenching of Tyrosine-Ag Nanoclusters by Metal Ions: Analytical and Physicochemical Assessment.

Project description:A new synthesis method is described for the first time to produce silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) by using the tyrosine (Tyr) amino acid. Several important parameters (e.g., molar ratios, initial pH, reaction time etc.) were optimized to reach the highest yield. The formed Tyr-AgNCs show characteristic blue emission at λem = 410 nm, and two dominant fluorescence lifetime components were deconvoluted (τ1 ~ 3.7 and τ2 ~ 4.9 ns). The NCs contained metallic cores stabilized by dityrosine. For possible application, the interactions with several metal ions from the tap water and wastewater were investigated. Among the studied cations, four different ions (Cu2+, Ni2+, Fe3+, and Rh3+) had a dominant effect on the fluorescence of NCs. Based on the detected quenching processes, the limit of detection of the metal ions was determined. Static quenching (formation of a non-luminescent complex) was observed in all cases by temperature-dependent measurements. The calculated thermodynamic parameters showed that the interactions are spontaneous ranked in the following order of strength: Cu2+ > Fe3+ > Rh3+ > Ni2+. Based on the sign and relations of the standard enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy changes (ΔS°), the dominant forces were also identified.

Metal ions-stimulated iron oxidation in hydroxylases facilitates stabilization of HIF-1 alpha protein.

Project description:The exposure of cells to several metal ions stabilizes HIF-1 alpha protein. However, the molecular mechanisms are not completely understood. They may involve inhibition of hydroxylation by either substitution of iron by metal ions or by iron oxidation in the hydroxylases. Here we provide evidence supporting the latter mechanism. We show that HIF-1 alpha stabilization in human lung epithelial cells occurred following exposure to various metal and metalloid ions, including those that cannot substitute for iron in the hydroxylases. In each case addition of the reducing agent ascorbic acid (AA)* abolished HIF-1 alpha protein stabilization. To better understand the role of iron oxidation in hydroxylase inhibition and to define the role of AA in the enzyme recovery we applied molecular modeling techniques. Our results indicate that the energy required for iron substitution by Ni(II) in the enzyme is high and unlikely to be achieved in a biological system. Additionally, computer modeling allowed us to identify a tridentate coordination of AA with the enzyme-bound iron, which explains the specific demand for AA as the iron reductant. Thus, the stabilization of HIF-1 alpha by numerous metal ions that cannot substitute for iron in the enzyme, the alleviation of this effect by AA, and our computer modeling data support the hypothesis of iron oxidation in the hydroxylases following exposure to metal ions.

Human Tyrosinase: Temperature-Dependent Kinetics of Oxidase Activity.

Project description:Human tyrosinase (Tyr) is involved in pigment biosynthesis, where mutations in its corresponding gene TYR have been linked to oculocutaneous albinism 1, an autosomal recessive disorder. Although the enzymatic capabilities of Tyr have been well-characterized, the thermodynamic driving forces underlying melanogenesis remain unknown. Here, we analyze protein binding using the diphenol oxidase behavior of Tyr and van 't Hoff temperature-dependent analysis. Recombinant Tyr was expressed and purified using a combination of affinity and size-exclusion chromatography. Michaelis-Menten constants were measured spectrophotometrically from diphenol oxidase reactions of Tyr, using L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) as a substrate, at temperatures: 25, 31, 37, and 43 °C. Under the same conditions, the Tyr structure and the L-DOPA binding activity were simulated using 3 ns molecular dynamics and docking. The thermal Michaelis-Menten kinetics data were subjected to the van 't Hoff analysis and fitted with the computational model. The temperature-dependent analysis suggests that the association of L-DOPA with Tyr is a spontaneous enthalpy-driven reaction, which becomes unfavorable at the final step of dopachrome formation.

The Effect of D-(-)-arabinose on Tyrosinase: An Integrated Study Using Computational Simulation and Inhibition Kinetics.

Project description:Tyrosinase is a ubiquitous enzyme with diverse physiologic roles related to pigment production. Tyrosinase inhibition has been well studied for cosmetic, medicinal, and agricultural purposes. We simulated the docking of tyrosinase and D-(-)-arabinose and found a binding energy of -4.5?kcal/mol for theup-formof D-(-)-arabinose and -4.4?kcal/mol for thedown-form of D-(-)-arabinose. The results of molecular dynamics simulation suggested that D-(-)-arabinose interacts mostly with HIS85, HIS259, and HIS263, which are believed to be in the active site. Our kinetic study showed that D-(-)-arabinose is a reversible, mixed-type inhibitor of tyrosinase (?-value? = 6.11 ± 0.98, K(i) = 0.21 ± 0.19?M). Measurements of intrinsic fluorescence showed that D-(-)-arabinose induced obvious tertiary changes to tyrosinase (binding constant K = 1.58 ± 0.02?M(-1), binding number n = 1.49 ± 0.06). This strategy of predicting tyrosinase inhibition based on specific interactions of aldehyde and hydroxyl groups with the enzyme may prove useful for screening potential tyrosinase inhibitors.

Effect of pyrophosphate ions and alkaline pH on the kinetics of propionaldehyde oxidation by sheep liver cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase.

Project description:Pyrophosphate ions activate the steady-state rate of oxidation of propionaldehyde by sheep liver cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase at alkaline pH values. The steps in the mechanism governing the release of NADH from terminal enzyme. NADH complexes have been shown to be rate-limiting at pH 7.6 [MacGibbon, Buckley & Blackwell (1977) Biochem J. 165, 455-462]. These steps are shown to be also rate-limiting at more alkaline pH values, and it is through an acceleration of these steps that pyrophosphate ions exert their activation effect.
