Modulating enzyme activity using ionic liquids or surfactants

One of the important strategies for modulating enzyme activity is the use of additives to affect their microenvironment and subsequently make them suitable for use in different industrial processes. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been investigated extensively in recent years as such additives. They are a class of solvents with peculiar properties and a "green" reputation in comparison to classical organic solvents. ILs as co-solvents in aqueous systems have an effect on substrate solubility, enzyme structure and on enzyme–water interactions. These effects can lead to higher reaction yields, improved selectivity, and changes in substrate specificity, and thus there is great potential for IL incorporation in biocatalysis. The use of surfactants, which are usually denaturating agents, as additives in enzymatic reactions is less reviewed in recent years. However, interesting modulations in enzyme activity in their presence have been reported. In the case of surfactants there is a more pronounced effect on the enzyme structure, as can be observed in a number of crystal structures obtained in their presence. For each additive and enzymatic process, a specific optimization process is needed and there is no one-fits-all solution. Combining ILs and surfactants in either mixed micelles or water-in-IL microemulsions for use in enzymatic reaction systems is a promising direction which may further expand the range of enzyme applications in industrial processes. While many reviews exist on the use of ILs in biocatalysis, the present review centers on systems in which ILs or surfactants were able to modulate and improve the natural activity of enzymes in aqueous systems.     

Enhanced cellulolytic enzyme production by the synergism between Trichoderma reesei RUT-C30 and Aspergillus niger NL02 and by the addition of surfactants

Two improvement approaches comprising of a mixed culture of Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus niger and the addition of surfactants were employed in this study in order to enhance cellulolytic enzyme production as well as to improve the composition. Different delay times of A. niger inoculation (0, 24, and 48 h) and inoculum ratios of T. reesei versus A. niger (1:1 and 5:1) derived six mixed culture forms, which were 0 h/1:1, 0 h/5:1, 24 h/1:1, 24 h/5:1, 48 h/1:1, and 48 h/5:1. It was found that the form 48 h/5:1 allowed the highest FPA, 3.30 ± 0.34 IU/mL, and a relatively high BGA, 1.01 ± 0.25 IU/mL, thereafter being selected for the subsequent improvement step addition of surfactants. Among the three surfactants, including Triton X-100, CHAPS and sodium taurocholate, the third one was found to be the best one giving rise to the highest FPA and BGA, 5.02 ± 0.40 and 1.48 ± 0.28 IU/mL, respectively. Differently sourced cellulases were compared in the enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-exploded corn stover (SECS). Moreover, the cellulase produced by the mixed culture form 48 h/5:1 using SECS as a substrate showed the highest yield at 80.93 ± 2.04%, indicating that the composition of this cellulase was improved by the mixed culture of T. reesei and A. niger. The results validate that these two improvement approaches are efficient and applicable in cellulase production.     

The binding of cationic surfactants by DNA

Isotherms for the binding of dodecyltrimethylammonium (DTA⁺) and tetradecyltrimethylammonium (TTA⁺) ions by DNA in aqueous solution at 30°C are reported. The binding isotherms were determined using a potentiometric technique with cationic surfactant-selective electrodes. The DNA concentrations used are 5 × 10^?4 and 10^?3 equiv./kg, Surfactant concentrations varying from 3 × 10^?6M to the critical micelle concentration. The influence of added NaCl (0.01 M) on the binding process is studied. The binding process is shown to be highly cooperative. Applying the binding theory of Schwarz and of Satake and Yang, binding constants and cooperativity parameters can be calculated. The binding constant K is found to be 1.2kT larger for TTA⁺ than for DTA⁺ in salt-free solution, and 1.4kT larger for TTA⁺ than for DTA⁺ in 0.01 M NaCl. The cooperativity parameter u is about 1.4kT larger for TTA⁺ in salt-free solution and 1.2kT larger in 0.01 M NaCl. It is concluded that the hydrophobic part of the bound surfactant is not completely immersed in the hydrophobic DNA core, but also interacts with other surfactant molecules. This situation is compared to the case of micelle formation.     

On the mechanism of bacteriorhodopsin solubilization by surfactants

Purple membrane bacteriorhodopsin can be easily solubilized by Triton X-100 and other detergents, but not by deoxycholate. In order to understand this behavior, we have examined the effects of a variety of surfactants. We show that detergents containing the cholane ring (cholate, taurocholate, 3[(3-cholamidopropyl)diethyl-ammonio]propanesulfonic acid...) are virtually unable to solubilize native bacteriorhodopsin. However, when the protein is reconstituted in dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine and solubilization is assayed at a temperature such that bacteriorhodopsin is in the form of monomers, solubilization by cholane detergents does occur. We propose that steric factors prevent access of the rigid planar surfactant molecules to the hydrophobic protein regions. These are perhaps located in the monomer-monomer interface, whose solvation by surfactants is essential for solubilization to occur. We note that the capacity of some detergents to solubilize bacteriorhodopsin is always associated within the same range of surfactant concentrations with bleaching (partial or total) of the protein chromophore. The detergent-induced bleaching is at least partially reversible, suggesting that free retinal remains associated to some membrane components. While some surfactant molecules remain tightly bound to the membrane protein, cholane detergents can be completely removed from bacteriorhodopsin. Our results indicate that a structure-function relationship exists for detergents applied to the solubilization of bacteriorhodopsin.     

Studying compaction-decompaction of DNA molecules induced by surfactants

The mechanism and detailed processes of DNA compaction and decompaction are essential for the life activities, as well as for the researches in the molecular biology, genetics and biomedicine. The compaction of two kinds of DNA molecules caused by Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB) and their decompaction induced with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or excessive amount of CTAB have been investigated with multiple perspectives such as the UV-VIS spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential. The compaction phenomenon of DNA can easily be observed when the CTAB combines with the DNA, not just when the molar ratio Q_CTAB/Q_DNA is approximately equal to 1 as the conventional recognition, but also when Q_CTAB/Q_DNA <1,DNA can be compacted; Molecular state of DNA is only changed in the conformational structure, but not in the chemical structure. Finally, a model is suggested to help catch on the biophysical mechanism of DNA chain conformational change.     

Determination of surfactants by use of acid phosphatase.

A new method is described for the microdetermination of anionic and cationic surfactants. Anionics can be determined by measuring the degree of their inhibition of enzyme activity (inhibition method). On the other hand, cationics are determined by a method utilizing the finding that the original inhibition of a potent inhibitor previously added to a substrate solution is suppressed by the addition of small amount of cationics (suppression method). In this study, the enzyme is acid phosphatase and p-nitrophenyl phosphate is used as substrate. Employing the method described above, 5–50 ppm of alkylbenzene sulfonate (ABS), 10–90 ppm of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 5–15 ppm of dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride and dodecyl pyridinium chloride can be determined. The procedure is relatively simple and the analysis requires only 4–5 min.     

Characterization of the solubilization of lipid bilayers by surfactants

This communication addresses the state of aggregation of lipid-detergent mixed dispersions. Analysis of recently published data suggest that for any given detergent-lipid mixture the most important factor in determining the type of aggregates (mixed vesicles or mixed micelles) and the size of the aggregate is the detergent to lipid molar ratio in these aggregates, herein denoted the effective ratio, Re. For mixed bilayers this effective ratio has been previously shown to be a function of the lipid and detergent concentrations and of an equilibrium partition coefficient, K, which describes the distribution of the detergent between the bilayers and the aqueous phase. We show that, similar to mixed bilayers, the size of mixed micelles is also a function of the effective ratio, but for these dispersions the distribution of detergent between the mixed micelles and the aqueous medium obeys a much higher partition coefficient. In practical terms, the detergent concentration in the mixed micelles is equal to the difference between the total detergent concentration and the critical micelle concentration (cmc). Thus, the effective ratio is equal to this difference divided by the lipid concentration. Transformation of mixed bilayers to mixed micelles, commonly denoted solubilization, occurs when the surfactant to lipid effective ratio reaches a critical value. Experimental evaluation of this critical ratio can be based on the linear dependence of detergent concentration, required for solubilization, on the lipid concentration. According to the 'equilibrium partition model', the dependence of the 'solubilizing detergent concentration' on the lipid concentration intersects with the lipid axis at -1/K, while the slope of this dependence is the critical effective ratio. On the other hand, assuming that when solubilization occurs the detergent concentration in the aqueous phase is approximately equal to the critical micelle concentration, implies that the above dependence intersects with the detergent axis at the critical micelle concentration, while its slope, again, is equal to the critical effective ratio. Analysis of existing data suggests that within experimental error both these distinctively different approaches are valid, indicating that the critical effective ratio at which solubilization occurs is approximately equal to the product of the critical micelle concentration and the distribution coefficient K. Since the nature of detergent affects K and the critical micelle concentration in opposite directions, the critical ('solubilizing') effective ratio depends upon the nature of detergent less than any of these two factors.     

Enhancement of metal bioremediation by use of microbial surfactants

Metal pollution all around the globe, especially in the mining and plating areas of the world, has been found to have grave consequences. An excellent option for enhanced metal contaminated site bioremediation is the use of microbial products viz. microbial surfactants and extracellular polymers which would increase the efficiency of metal reducing/sequestering organisms for field bioremediation. Important here is the advantage of such compounds at metal and organic compound co-contaminated site since microorganisms have long been found to produce surface-active compounds when grown on hydrocarbons. Other options capable of proving efficient enhancers include exploiting the chemotactic potential and biofilm forming ability of the relevant microorganisms. Chemotaxis towards environmental pollutants has excellent potential to enhance the biodegradation of many contaminants and biofilm offers them a better survival niche even in the presence of high levels of toxic compounds.
