Benzoylmesaconine alters the native structure and activity of hen egg white lysozyme: revealing possible mechanism of aconitum-induced toxicity.
Purpose: This study examines the interaction between benzoylmesaconine (BMA) and hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) under various physiological conditions, aiming to determine how BMA affects the HEWL's structure and function.
Methods: Several analytical techniques were used, including tryptophan assay, light scattering, thioflavin T (ThT)-binding assay, dynamic light scattering, 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS)-binding assay, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, enzyme activity assay, and molecular docking.
Results: The tryptophan assay displayed a concentration-dependent decrease in tryptophan fluorescence, showing an interaction between BMA and HEWL. Light scattering and ThT-binding assays confirmed increased protein aggregation and amyloid fibril formation, while the ANS-binding assay demonstrated altered exposed hydrophobic regions, implying structural changes. CD spectroscopy showed a reduction in α-helix content, indicating conformational alterations, and enzyme activity assays showed a loss of lytic function due to structural distortion. Finally, molecular docking identified significant bonds and hydrophobic interactions between BMA and HEWL residues.
Conclusions: BMA binding induces structural changes in proteins, forming small oligomers and amyloid fibrils that decrease HEWL enzymatic activity and disrupt functional integrity.
期刊介绍:
The journal Forensic Toxicology provides an international forum for publication of studies on toxic substances, drugs of abuse, doping agents, chemical warfare agents, and their metabolisms and analyses, which are related to laws and ethics. It includes original articles, reviews, mini-reviews, short communications, and case reports. Although a major focus of the journal is on the development or improvement of analytical methods for the above-mentioned chemicals in human matrices, appropriate studies with animal experiments are also published.
Forensic Toxicology is the official publication of the Japanese Association of Forensic Toxicology (JAFT) and is the continuation of the Japanese Journal of Forensic Toxicology (ISSN 0915-9606).
