Tyrosinase

(Redirected from OCAIA)

Tyrosinase is an oxidase that is the rate-limiting enzyme for controlling the production of melanin. The enzyme is mainly involved in two distinct reactions of melanin synthesis otherwise known as the Raper–Mason pathway. Firstly, the hydroxylation of a monophenol and secondly, the conversion of an o-diphenol to the corresponding o-quinone. o-Quinone undergoes several reactions to eventually form melanin.[5] Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme present in plant and animal tissues that catalyzes the production of melanin and other pigments from tyrosine by oxidation. It is found inside melanosomes which are synthesized in the skin melanocytes. In humans, the tyrosinase enzyme is encoded by the TYR gene.[6]

Catalyzed reaction

edit

Tyrosinase carries out the oxidation of phenols such as tyrosine and dopamine using dioxygen (O2). In the presence of catechol, benzoquinone is formed (see reaction below). Hydrogens removed from catechol combine with oxygen to form water.

The substrate specificity becomes dramatically restricted in mammalian tyrosinase which uses only L-form of tyrosine or DOPA as substrates, and has restricted requirement for L-DOPA as cofactor.[7]

Crystallographic structure of a Streptomyces-derived tyrosinase in complex with a so-called "caddie protein".[8] In all models, only the tyrosinase molecule is shown, copper atoms are shown in green and the molecular surface is shown in red. In models D and E, histidine amino acids are shown as a blue line representation. From model E, each copper atom within the active site is indeed complexed with three histidine residues, forming a type 3 copper center. From models C and D, the active site for this protein can be seen to sit within a pillus formed on the molecular surface of the molecule.

PDBsumstructure summary

The two copper atoms within the active site of tyrosinase enzymes interact with dioxygen to form a highly reactive chemical intermediate that then oxidizes the substrate. The activity of tyrosinase is similar to catechol oxidase, a related class of copper oxidase. Tyrosinases and catechol oxidases are collectively termed polyphenol oxidases.

Structure

edit

Tyrosinases have been isolated and studied from a wide variety of plant, animal, and fungal species. Tyrosinases from different species are diverse in terms of their structural properties, tissue distribution, and cellular location.[9] No common tyrosinase protein structure occurring across all species has been found.[10] The enzymes found in plant, animal, and fungal tissue frequently differ with respect to their primary structure, size, glycosylation pattern, and activation characteristics. However, all tyrosinases have in common a binuclear, type 3 copper centre within their active sites. Here, two copper atoms are each coordinated with three histidine residues.

(Note: (*) shows a conserved region,(.) shows more conserved and (:) shows less conserved.)

Plant

edit

In vivo, plant PPOs are expressed as about 64–68 kDa proteins consisting of three domains: a chloroplastic transit peptide (containing a ~4-9 kDa thylakoid signal peptide), a catalytically active domain (~ 37–42 kDa) containing the dinuclear copper center, and a C-terminal domain (~15–19 kDa) shielding the active site.[11]

Mammalian

edit

Mammalian tyrosinase is a single membrane-spanning transmembrane protein.[12] In humans, tyrosinase is sorted into melanosomes[13] and the catalytically active domain of the protein resides within melanosomes. Only a small, enzymatically inessential part of the protein extends into the cytoplasm of the melanocyte.

As opposed to fungal tyrosinase, human tyrosinase is a membrane-bound glycoprotein and has 13% carbohydrate content.[14]

The derived TYR allele (rs2733832) is associated with lighter skin pigmentation in human populations. It is most common in Europe, but is also found at lower, moderate frequencies in Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and among the San and Mbuti Pygmies.[15]

Bacterial

edit

In peatlands, bacterial tyrosinases are proposed to act as key regulators of carbon storage by removing phenolic compounds, which inhibit the degradation of organic carbon.[16]

Gene regulation

edit

The gene for tyrosinase is regulated by the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF).[17][18]

Tyrosinase sequences from ten vertebrates species( Genus: Ambystoma, Xenopus, Homo, Elaphe, Thamnophis, Bufo, Rugosa, and Rana) were analyzed. The multiple alignments are generated by the CLUSTAL W program( version 1.7)and the phylogenetic trees were constructed by the Neighbour-joining method without distance correction. So Ambystoma and Xenopus do not cluster with other amphibians. Branches and nodes are drawn according to identical patterns.

Clinical significance

edit

A mutation in the tyrosinase gene resulting in impaired tyrosinase production leads to type I oculocutaneous albinism, a hereditary disorder that affects one in every 20,000 people.[20]

Tyrosinase activity is very important. If uncontrolled during the synthesis of melanin, it results in increased melanin synthesis. Decreasing tyrosinase activity has been targeted for the improvement or prevention of conditions related to the hyperpigmentation of the skin, such as melasma and age spots.[21]

Several polyphenols, including flavonoids or stilbenoid, substrate analogues, free radical scavengers, and copper chelators, have been known to inhibit tyrosinase.[22] Henceforth, the medical and cosmetic industries are focusing research on tyrosinase inhibitors to treat skin disorders.[5]

Inhibitors

edit

Known Tyrosinase inhibitors are the following:[23]

Genetics

edit

While albinism is common, there have only been a few studies about the genetic mutations in the tyrosinase genes of animals. One of them was on Bubalus bubalis (water buffalo). The tyrosinase mRNA sequence of the wild-type B. bubalis is 1,958 base pairs (bp) with an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,593 bp long, which translates to 530 amino acids. Meanwhile, the tyrosinase gene of the albino B. bubalis (GenBank JN_887463) is truncated at position 477, caused by a point mutation in nucleotide 1431 which converts a Tryptophan (TGG) into a stop codon (TGA), resulting in a shorter and inactive tyrosinase gene.[24] Other albinos have point mutations that appear to inactivate Tyrosinase without truncation (see table and figure for examples).

Mutations in the tyrosinase gene that have been shown to cause albinism in animals. Colored boxes indicate regions in the protein encoded by one of five exons (see figure of gene structure). Positions refer to amino acid positions in protein of each species. Modified after Miura et al.

Knowing that there are a few studies about the genomic data of the tyrosinase gene, there are only a handful of studies on the mutations in albino amphibians. Miura et al. (2018) investigates the amino acid mutations in the tyrosinase gene in three albino frogs: Pelophylax nigromaculatus (pond frog), Glandirana rugosa (wrinkled frog) and Fejervarya kawamurai (rice frog). In total, five different populations were studied of which three were P. nigromaculatus and one each of G. rugosa and F. kawamurai. In two of the three P. nigromaculatus populations, there was a frameshift mutation because of the insertion of a thymine within exons 1 and 3, and the third population lacked three nucleotides that encoded a Lysine in exon 1. The population of G. rugosa had a missense mutation where there was an amino acid substitution from a Glycine to Aspartic acid, and the mutation of F. kawamurai was also an amino acid substitution from Glycine to Arginine. The mutation for G. rugosa and F. kawamurai occurs in exons 1 and 3. The mutations of the third population of P. nigromaculatus, and the mutations of G. rugosa and F. kawamurai occurred in areas that are highly conserved among vertebrates which could result in a dysfunctional tyrosinase gene.[25]

Evolution

edit
 
ConSurf uses a series of nine colors from turquoise through white through burgundy to represent conservation grades from variable through conserved, respectively. At right is an alternative color scheme inspired by the earlier (now obsolete) ProteinExplorer's MSA3D (in which grades 4, 5, and 6 use the same color).

Tyrosinase is a highly conserved protein in animals and apparently arose already in bacteria. The tyrosinase related protein (Tyrp1) and dopachrome tautomerase (Dtc), which encode for protein implicated in melanin synthesis which are the common regulatory elements of exon/intron structure. The development of the three types of vertebrate pigment cells, although different, thus converge at a certain point to allow the expression of members of the tyrosinase family, in order to produce melanin pigments.[27] Tyrosinase family related genes plays an important role in the evolution, genetics, and developmental biology of pigment cells, as well as to approach human disorders associated with defects in their synthesis, regulation or function in vertebrates three types of melanin producing pigment cells are well known since embryonic origin i.e., from the neural crest, neural tube and pineal body. All of them have the capacity to produce melanin pigments. Their biosynthesis is governed by evolutionary conserved enzymes of the tyrosinase family( tyr, tyr1 and tyr2) also called DOPAchrome tautomerase (dct). Among them Tyr plays significance role in melanin production. However, sequenced genome from the different taxa for evolutionary analysis in the depth become more crucial in present study.[28] Similarly, the type-3 copper protein family perform various biological function including pigment formation, innate immunity and oxygen transport. The combine genetic phylogenetic and structural analysis concluded that the original type-3 copper protein possessed a single peptide and grouped into α subclass. The ancestral protein gene underwent to two duplication i.e., first one prior to divergence of unknown eukaryotic lineage and second one before diversification. The prior duplication gave rise to cytosolic form(β) and latter duplication gave membrane bound form (Γ). The structural comparison concluded that active site of α and γ forms are covered by aliphatic amino acids and β form covered with aromatic residue. Thus, the evolution of these gene family is the lineage of multicellular eukaryotes due to loss of one or more of these three subclasses and lineage-specific expansion of one or both of the remaining subclasses.[29] The genomic conserved nucleotide alignments of the tyrosinase among the vertebrate family like frogs, snakes and human suggests that it has evolved from one ancestral tyrosinase gene. The duplication and mutation of this gene is probably responsible for the emergence of a tyrosinase-related gene.[30]

Applications

edit

In the food industry

edit

In the food industry, tyrosinase inhibition is desired as tyrosinase catalyzes the oxidation of phenolic compounds found in fruits and vegetables into quinones, which gives an undesirable taste and color and also decreases the availability of certain essential amino acids as well as the digestibility of the products. As such, highly effective tyrosinase inhibitors are also needed in agriculture and the food industry.[14] Well known tyrosinase inhibitors include kojic acid,[31] tropolone,[32] coumarins,[33] vanillic acid, vanillin, and vanillic alcohol.[34]

In the cosmetic industry

edit

Lighter skin complexion has been associated with youth and beauty across various Asian cultures. Recent research by cosmetic companies has been focused on the development of novel whitening agents that selectively suppress tyrosinase activity to reduce hyperpigmentation while avoiding cytotoxicity of healthy melanocytes.[35] Traditional pharmacological agents such as corticosteroids, hydroquinone, and amino numeric chloride lighten skin through the inhibition of melanocyte maturation.[36] However, these agents are associated with adverse effects. Cosmetic companies have been focused on developing novel whitening agents that selectively suppress the activity of tyrosinase to reduce hyperpigmentation while avoiding melanocyte cytotoxicity as tyrosinase is the rate-limiting step of the melanogenesis pathway.

In insects

edit

Tyrosinase has a wide range of functions in insects, including wound healing, sclerotization, melanin synthesis and parasite encapsulation. As a result, it is an important enzyme as it is the defensive mechanism of insects. Some insecticides are aimed to inhibit tyrosinase.[14]

In mussel-glue inspired polymers

edit

Tyrosinase activated polymerization of peptides, containing cysteine and tyrosine residues, lead to mussel-glue inspired polymers. The tyrosine residues are enzymatically oxidized to dopaquinones, to which thiols of cysteine could link by an intermolecular Michael-addition. The resulting polymers adsorb strongly to various surfaces with high adhesion energies.[37][38]
