Prolonged Glycation of Hen Egg White Lysozyme Generates Non Amyloidal Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glycation causes severe damage to protein structure that could lead to amyloid formation in special cases. Here in this report, we have shown for the first time that hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) does not undergo amyloid formation even after prolonged glycation in the presence of D-glucose, D-fructose and D-ribose. Cross-linked oligomers were formed in all the cases and ribose was found to be the most potent among the three sugars. Ribose mediated oligomers, however, exhibit Thioflavin T binding properties although microscopic images clearly show amorphous and globular morphology of the aggregates. Our study demonstrates that the structural damage of hen egg white lysozyme due to glycation generates unstructured aggregates.

Study the Interaction of Ni Complex of Tetradentate Schiff Base Ligand with HEN Egg White Lysozyme
AbstractInteraction of Ni complex(Salen= N, N´-ethylene bis(salicylideneimine)) with hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was studied by absorption spectroscopy, competitive binding study and thermal denaturation study. The protein binding affinity of Ni complex was found to be (3.0×103M−1). The binding plot obtained from the absorption titration data gives a binding constant of 2.4 (± 0.3)×103 M...

Background & Aims: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal aggregation of amyloid-β plaques in the brain. Although several studies have been done for finding effective medicines in the treatment of this disease, a drug that inhibits amyloid β aggregation and ameliorates the disorder has not been approved so far. One important therapeutic approach is use...
متن کاملEffect of Cinnamomum Verum Extract on the Amyloid Formation of Hen Egg-white Lysozyme and Study of its Possible Role in Alzheimer’s Disease
Introduction: Diagnosing and treating diseases associated with amyloid fibers remain a great challenge despite of intensive research carried out. One important approach in the development of therapeutics is the use of herbal extracts which are rich in aromatic small molecules. Cinnamomum verum extract (CE) contains proanthocyanidin and cinnamaldehyde, which have been suggested to be capab...
متن کاملStructure-energy relations in hen egg white lysozyme observed during refolding from a quenched unfolded state.
We use infrared spectroscopy to study the evolution of protein folding intermediate structures on arbitrarily slow time scales by rapidly quenching thermally unfolded hen egg white lysozyme in a glassy matrix, followed by reheating of the protein to refold; upon comparison with differential scanning calorimetric experiments, low-temperature structural changes that precede the formation of energ...
متن کاملRedesign of the substrate-binding site of hen egg white lysozyme based on the molecular evolution of C-type lysozymes.
On the basis of the molecular evolution of hen egg white, human, and turkey lysozymes, three replacements (Trp62 with Tyr, Asn37 with Gly, and Asp101 with Gly) were introduced into the active-site cleft of hen egg white lysozyme by site-directed mutagenesis. The replacement of Trp62 with Tyr led to enhanced bacteriolytic activity at pH 6.2 and a lower binding constant for chitotriose. The fluor...
