Glycosylated Hydroxytryptophan in a Mussel Adhesive Protein from Perna viridis

Abstract: The 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (Dopa)-containing proteins of mussel byssus play a critical role in wet adhesion and have inspired versatile new synthetic strategies for adhesives and coatings. Apparently, however, not all mussel adhesive proteins are beholden to Dopa chemistry. The cDNA-deduced sequence of Pvfp-1, a highly aromatic and redox active byssal coating protein in the green mussel Perna viridis, suggests that Dopa may be replaced by a post-translational modification of tryptophan. The N-terminal t… Show more

“…The oxindolalanine and hydroxy-indole derivatives were proposed to be intermediates produced during oxidative cleavage to give kynurenine (22). None of these species are expected to show an absorption maximum at 325 nm (53,54), as observed here for the NFK-containing peptides. NFK can be formed as a stable intermediate during the production of kynurenine (Fig.…”

“…Some oxidative tryptophan products, such as hydroxytryptophan, dioxyindolylalanine, and oxyindolylalanine, absorb near 295 nm, only slightly red-shifted from the tryptophan absorption band (53,54). However, other PTMs of tryptophan, including NFK and kynurenine (Fig.…”

“…Several adhesive proteins performing either permanent or temporary adhesion have been found to be glycosylated in other systems, such as in the marine sea stars, barnacles and green mussels (Ohkawa et al 2004; Zhao et al 2009; Hennebert et al 2010; Kamino et al 2012), in freshwater zebra mussels (Rzepecki & Waite 1993), and also in the stick threads secreted by terrestrial velvet worms (Graham et al 2013). Both N- and O-glycosylation were reported, as is the case of N-glycosylation of cp52 k in barnacles, and O-linked glycans primarily to threonine residues in green and zebra mussels Pvfp-1 and Dpfp-1 (Rzepecki & Waite 1993; Ohkawa et al 2004; Zhao et al 2009). They were also reported for C-mannosylated tryptophan, and C-mannosylated hydroxyl-tryptophan (Ohkawa et al 2004; Zhao et al 2009).…”

They were also reported for C-mannosylated tryptophan, and C-mannosylated hydroxyl-tryptophan (Ohkawa et al 2004; Zhao et al 2009). The sea star adhesive was proposed to contain at least two glycoproteins, Sfp-290 which contains mainly N-linked oligosaccharides, and Sfp-210 containing mainly O-linked oligosaccharides (Hennebert et al 2010).…”

“…Recently, a thin cuticle, coating around the byssal thread of Mytilus species with the thickness of 2-5 µm, has attracted public attention due to its exceptionally high stiffness and toughness [16]. The cuticle has similar hardness and stiffness to epoxies, robust engineered coating material, while its extensibility is ~70-100% which more than twenty times higher than that of epoxies.…”
