Abstract

Endogenous formaldehyde is a common factor that affects the quality and safety of seafood.Trimethylamine N-oxide demethylase (TMAOase) has been demonstrated to play a significant role in the formation of endogenous formaldehyde.Therefore, the formation of endogenous formaldehyde in seafood can be effectively controlled by inhibiting the activity of TMAOase.The results of previous studies have shown that plant polyphenols can significantly inhibit the activity of TMAOase, while researchers mainly focused on the non-covalent interactions between polyphenols and TMAOase basing on inhibition kinetics and spectroscopic analysis.However, few teams attempted to elucidate their key binding sites and structure-activity relationships by molecular simulation techniques.Hence, the present study aims to investigate the interaction between polyphenols with different degrees of polymerization and TMAOase using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies.Also, the binding stability of the complexes and effects of polyphenols on the structure of TMAOase were analyzed.The data of molecular docking studies showed that four polyphenols with different degrees of polymerization were able to form complexes with TMAOase, which were mainly combined by hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds.The binding capacity of procyanidin B2 with TMAOase was the strongest, which could bind with TMAOase by hydrophobic residues (His-89, Phe-169, Gly-195, Gly-198, Gly-243, Phe-244) and hydrogen bonding sites (Thr-199 and Asn-438).The molecular dynamics simulation study indicated four polyphenols increased the surface hydrophobicity of TMAOase, while the number of intramolecular hydrogen bonds greatly decreased.Nevertheless, no significant change in the secondary structure of enzyme was observed.The inhibitory effect of procyanidin B2 on TMAOase was non-competitive and the stability of complexes were the highest.In addition, the van der Waals force also played a role in the formation of the complexes.In a word, the interaction mechanism between polyphenols and TMAOase was explored at a molecular level, which might provide a new idea for screening of TMAOase inhibitors in the future.
