A soluble melanin pigment produced by Streptomyces sp. ZL-24 was purified and named StrSM. The elemental analysis of StrSM showed it consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The spectrum analysis, including ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum, Fourier-transform infrared spectrum, and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, indicated that StrSM might be pyomelanin. High performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectra analysis of intermediate metabolite showed the presence of homogentisic acid (HGA). Moreover, the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, involved in HGA biosynthesis, showed high activity during melanin production. Subsequently, a tyrosinase gene (melC2) and hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase gene double mutant demonstrated StrSM is pyomelanin. In vitro bioactivity assay showed that StrSM had excellent protective capability against SH-SY5Y cell oxidative injury. To our knowledge, the results firstly provide comprehensive data on Streptomyces pyomelanin identification and a promising candidate compound to treat oxidative injury of neurocytes.
一种由链霉菌 sp. ZL-24 产生的可溶性黑色素被纯化并命名为 StrSM。StrSM 的元素分析表明它由碳、氢和氧组成。光谱分析,包括紫外-可见吸收光谱、傅里叶变换红外光谱和热解气相色谱-质谱分析,表明 StrSM 可能是焦黑色素。中间代谢产物的高效液相色谱和液相色谱-质谱分析表明存在对羟基苯丙酮酸(HGA)。此外,参与 HGA 生物合成的酶 4-羟基苯丙酮酸双加氧酶在黑色素生成过程中表现出高活性。随后,酪氨酸酶基因(melC2)和 4-羟基苯丙酮酸双加氧酶基因双突变体表明 StrSM 是焦黑色素。体外生物活性测定表明,StrSM 对 SH-SY5Y 细胞氧化损伤具有极好的保护能力。据我们所知,这些结果首次提供了关于链霉菌焦黑色素鉴定的全面数据,以及一种有前途的治疗神经细胞氧化损伤的候选化合物。
