A tyrosinase enzyme TyrVs

Introduction

Tyrosinase is a copper-containing oxidoreductase that possesses two catalytic activities, and is involved in the first few steps of melanin synthesis from l-tyrosine. As shown in Fig. 1, tyrosinase catalyzes the ortho-hydroxylation of l-tyrosine to l-DOPA via its monophenolase (MP) activity, and consecutively oxidizes l-DOPA to l-dopaquinone via the diphenolase (DP) activity, thereby consuming oxygen. l-dopaquinone is not stable and will be further non-enzymatically oxidized to l-dopachrome (a red-colored product) in the presence of O2.TyrVs refers to a tyrosinase enzyme derived from Verrucomicrobium spinosum, which plays a critical role in the hydroxylation of tyrosine residues into L-Dopa. This enzyme has shown efficient activity, particularly in the context of biological adhesion, as demonstrated in studies co-expressing mussel foot protein 3 with TyrVs. </p>

Usage and Biology

In our project, TyrVs can catalyze the tyrosine residues in the TRn4-mfp5 protein, converting them into L-DOPA, thereby enhancing its adhesive properties. L-DOPA exhibits excellent adhesion, particularly in moist environments. This transformation process is similar to the mechanism used by marine organisms like mussels, which enhance their adhesion through L-DOPA.

Characterization

Protein expression

We considered cloning TyrVs into the pET-SUMO vector to potentially increase its expression levels. So we constructed the pET-SUMO-TyrVs vector, after culturing at 16°C for 20 hours, extracted the proteins for SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining analysis. Image with Caption

We constructed the pET-SUMO-TyrVs vector, after culturing at 16°C for 20 hours, extracted the proteins for SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining analysis. The SUMO-TyrVs (52.2 kDa) was primarily present in the supernatant, indicating that it was expressed in a soluble form. Image with Caption

Subsequently, we purified SUMO-TyrVs using a HiTrap Ni-NTA column. The purified protein was verified by SDS-PAGE and was found to be present in the 50 mM imidazole elution fraction. Image with Caption

Enzyme activity test

We dialyzed the extracted SUMO-TyrVs for 24 hours and then diluted it 10,000 times for the enzyme activity assay. Given that tyrosinase exhibits dual catalytic properties, capable of catalyzing the conversion of tyrosine to L-DOPA and L-DOPA to dopaquinone, we aimed to develop a model to determine how to maximize the oxidation of tyrosine to L-DOPA. Therefore, we conducted tests on the reactions from tyrosine to dopaquinone and from L-DOPA to dopaquinone. The experiment of enzymatic reaction from tyrosine to dopaquinone was conducted at 37°C with an enzyme concentration of 0.1 μg/mL. The calculated Michaelis constant (Km) and maximum velocity (Vmax) were 456.8 μmol/L and 0.31 μmol/L·s, respectively. The experiment of enzymatic reaction from L-DOPA to dopaquinone was conducted at 37°C with an enzyme concentration of 0.2 μg/mL. The calculated Michaelis constant (Km) and maximum velocity (Vmax) were 8787 μmol/L and 0.86 μmol/L·s, respectively. Image with Caption
