We found that heating of lysozyme at increasing temperatures for 20 min in pH 6.0 results in progressive loss of enzyme activity, while greatly promotes its antimicrobial action to the Gram-negative bacteria without a detrimental effect on the inherent bactericidal activity to Gram-positive ones, suggesting action independent of catalytic function. The most potent bactericidal conformation of lysozyme to either Gram-negative or -positie bacteria was that retaining approximately 50% of the native enzyme activity (HL80/6). HL80/6 showed several fold increase in surface hydrophobicity, with exposed two thiol groups, and 17% deamidation. Spectrophotometric analysis of HL80/6 revealed slight changes in its secondary structures, but considerable global conformational changes as a result of the formation of beta conformation, via cyclic imide, at the three aspartylglycyl sequences of lysozyme molecule. Direct damage to the bacertial membranes by HL80/6, was demonstrated by using ELISA and liposomal membrane model. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of HL80/6 was inhibited by the divalent cations Ca2+ and Mg2+ suggesting that HL80/6 interacts at a divalent cation binding site on the bacterial membrane and subsequently permeabilize it. The results introduce an interesting structure-antimicrobial relationship that the antimicrobial action of lysozyme is independent of its catalytic function. In addition, it is worth emphasizing that the naturally-occurring conformational transition of lysozyme at physiological temperatures can be a biologically relevant event to switch its antimicrobial specificity to include the food-borne pathogens and heralding fascinating opportunities for application in formulated food systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":11281,"journal":{"name":"Die Nahrung","volume":"42 3-4","pages":"187-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20653747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
