Abstract
- The biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by microorganisms has been a subject of increasing attention. Despite extensive studies on this biosynthetic pathway, the mechanisms underlying the involvement of proteins and enzymes in AgNPs production have not been fully explored. Herein, we reported that Burkholderia contaminans ZCC was able to reduce Ag<superscript>+</superscript> to AgNPs with a diameter of (10±5) nm inside the cell. Exposure of B. contaminans ZCC to Ag<superscript>+</superscript> ions led to significant changes in the functional groups of cellular proteins, with approximately 5.72% of the (C-OH) bonds being converted to (C-C/C-H) (3.61%) and C O (2.11%) bonds, and 4.52% of the C O (carbonyl) bonds being converted to (C-OH) bonds. Furthermore, the presence of Ag<superscript>+</superscript> and AgNPs induced the ability of extracellular electron transfer for ZCC cells via specific membrane proteins, but this did not occur in the absence of Ag<superscript>+</superscript> ions. Proteomic analysis of the proteins and enzymes involved in heavy metal efflux systems, protein secretion system, oxidative phosphorylation, intracellular electron transfer chain, and glutathione metabolism suggests that glutathione S-transferase and ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase iron-sulfur subunit play importance roles in the biosynthesis of AgNPs. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the functions exerted by glutathione S-transferase and ferredoxin-thioredoxin reductase iron-sulfur subunits in the biogenesis of AgNPs, thereby hold immense potential for optimizing biotechnological techniques aimed at enhancing the yield and purity of biosynthetic AgNPs. [Display omitted] • It is first reported that B. contaminans ZCC can reduce Ag<superscript>+</superscript> to Ag nanoparticles. • ZCC display the ability of extracellular electron transfer under Ag(I) induction. • Ag(I) induces significant changes in functional groups of cellular proteins in ZCC. • Gutathione S-transferase plays an important role in the interaction with AgNPs. • Ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase iron-sulfur subunit may be vital for AgNPs biosynthesis.
