Nanoparticle Protein Corona: Understanding NP Biomolecule Interactions for Safe and Informed Nanotechnological Applications Including Stress Alleviation in Plants
2023
Overview
The use of nanotechnology in agriculture, often referred to as “phyto-nanotechnology,” has received greater attention in recent years because of its potential to expand food production sustainably. Growing body of evidence suggests that nanoparticles (NPs) can be efficiently used as biosensors, gene/nutrient carriers, fertilizers, and growth augmenters, among others. Upon the entry of NPs in a biological environment, biomolecules, majorly proteins, rapidly cover the NP surface to form an interface called “protein corona” (PC) which determines the behavior of NPs, including their uptake, transport, localization, and interaction in biological systems. Moreover, some of the recent studies showed that the corona formation affects the cellular processes like energy synthesis, pathogenesis, leaf senescence, and salt stress response in plants. Besides, it also influences the heat that affected the gastrointestinal fate of consumed proteins. Therefore, understanding of PC is of critical importance for efficient utilization of NPs in phyto-nanotechnology and for the safety of living organisms. While the PC study has seen years of progress in research fields like nanomedicine, nanotoxicology, and environmental biology, it is relatively unexplored in phyto-nanotechnology. Given its significance, the employment and progress of analytical methods to analyze NP-protein complexes are crucial to comprehend the impacts of NPs on plants. In this review, we introduce the concept of PC to a large section of plant biologists along with discussing the analytical techniques, factors governing corona composition, the status of PC exploration across fields, major challenges, and the future perspectives concerning plants.
