Notes

  • Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) was used to study the viscoelastic properties of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, foot protein 1 (Mefp-1) adsorbed on modified hydrophobic gold surfaces. The change in viscoelasticity was studied after addition of Cu2+ and Mn2+, which theoretically could induce metal complex formation with 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) moieties. We also used NaIO4, a nonmetal oxidative agent known to induce di-DOPA formation. Reduction in viscoelasticity of adsorbed Mefp-1 followed the order of NaIO4 > Cu2+ > buffer control > Mn2+. We also studied the formation of molecular aggregates of Mefp-1 in solution with the use of dynamic light scattering (DLS). We found that addition of Cu2+, but not Mn2+, induced the formation of larger DLS-detectable aggregates. Minor aggregate formation was found with NaIO4. With the analytical resolution of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we could detect differences in the molecular structure between NaIO4- and Cu2+-treated Mefp-1 aggregates. We concluded from this study that Cu2+ could participate in intermolecular cross-linking of the Mefp-1 molecule via metal complex formation. Metal incorporation in the protein most likely increases the abrasion resistance of the Mefp-1 layer. NaIO4, on the other hand, resulted in mainly intramolecular formation of di-DOPA, but failed to induce larger intermolecular aggregation phenomena. The described methodological combination of surface sensitive methods, like QCM-D, and bulk sensitive methods, like DLS and SAXS, generates high resolution results and is an attractive platform to investigate intra- and intermolecular aspects of assembly and cross-linking of the Mefp proteins.
