摘要
Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of substrate conformational structure changes on the laccase-induced protein cross-linking. The effects of laccase amount, pH, and ferulic acid (FA) on the enzymatic cross-linking of substrate, Cyt C, were determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. High-performance size exclusion chromatography, laser particle size analysis and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) were also applied to investigate the cross-linking product and enthalpy changes. Structural changes of Cyt C at different pH values were analyzed by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis), fluorescence, and circular dichroism (CD) measurements. Results: Complete cross-linking, partial cross-linking, minute cross-linking, and no cross-linking occurred at pH 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0, respectively. ITC analysis demonstrated that the enzymatic cross-linking of Cyt C was an endothermic process. The UV–vis, fluorescence, and CD measurements exhibited that the tertiary structure of Cyt C was disrupted, and part of the α-helical polypeptide region unfolded at pH 2.0. The structural flexibilities decreased, and the tertiary structure of Cyt C became increasingly compact with the increase in pH values from 4.0 to 8.0. The gradual changes in the structure of Cyt C at different pH values were in accordance with the cross-linking results of Cyt C catalyzed by laccase. Conclusions: The results demonstrated that minute structure changes of substrate had a remarkable effect on the laccase-induced cross-linking. The findings promote the understanding of the substrate requirement of laccase in protein cross-linking and are instructive for the modulation of laccase-induced protein cross-linking.
