亮氨酰-tRNA合成酶的限制性酶解及活性片段的研究

大肠杆菌亮氨酰-tRNA合成酶(LeuRS)经胰蛋白酶限制性酶解,被切去约6k分子量肽段,产生一96k片段。该片段具有与天然酶相同的氨基酸活化反应的动力学常数,但丧失氨酰化活性、tRNA~(Leu)结合活性等由tRNAL~(Leu)参与的一系列活性。N-末端分析表明切去的6k肽段系LeuRS C端部分,该部分是LeuRS结合tRNAL~(Leu)所必需的。本文表明LeuRS的氨基酸活化和氨酰化这两种活性是相互独立并分别处于酶分子不同的结构域。LeuRS C端部分可能是tRNA~(Leu)的结合部分。

Enzymatic Preparation of Bioactive Peptides Exhibiting ACE Inhibitory Activity from Soybean and Velvet Bean: A Systematic Review

The Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) is a peptidase with a significant role in the regulation of blood pressure. Within this work, a systematic review on the enzymatic preparation of Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme inhibitory (ACEi) peptides is presented. The systematic review is conducted by following PRISMA guidelines. Soybeans and velvet beans are known to have high protein contents that make them suitable as sources of parent proteins for the production of ACEi peptides. Endopeptidase is commonly used in the preparation of soybean-based ACEi peptides, whereas for velvet bean, a combination of both endo- and exopeptidase is frequently used. Soybean glycinin is the preferred substrate for the preparation of ACEi peptides. It contains proline as one of its major amino acids, which exhibits a potent significance in inhibiting ACE. The best enzymatic treatments for producing ACEi peptides from soybean are as follows: proteolytic activity by Protease P (Amano-P from Aspergillus sp.), a temperature of 37 °C, a reaction time of 18 h, pH 8.2, and an E/S ratio of 2%. On the other hand, the best enzymatic conditions for producing peptide hydrolysates with high ACEi activity are through sequential hydrolytic activity by the combination of pepsin-pancreatic, an E/S ratio for each enzyme is 10%, the temperature and reaction time for each proteolysis are 37 °C and 0.74 h, respectively, pH for pepsin is 2.0, whereas for pancreatin it is 7.0. As an underutilized pulse, the studies on the enzymatic hydrolysis of velvet bean proteins in producing ACEi peptides are limited. Conclusively, the activity of soybean-based ACEi peptides is found to depend on their molecular sizes, the amino acid residues, and positions. Hydrophobic amino acids with nonpolar side chains, positively charged, branched, and cyclic or aromatic residues are generally preferred for ACEi peptides.     

Comparison of Structure and Biological Activity of Natural Polypeptide from Velvet Antlers of Cervus elaphus with Those of Synthesized Polypeptide

Biochemical techniques including ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC) were used to isolate and purify the natural polypeptide from velvet antler(nVAP) of Cervus elaphus(C. elaphus), which has a molecular weight of 3215.8 and the primary structure of VLSAADKSNVKAAWGKVGGNAPAFGAEALLRM. The homology of the protein sequence in nVAP with known protein sequence is less than 50%, suggesting that nVAP appears to be a new bioactive substance. At a level of 0.4―50 μg/mL, nVAP promotes mitosis in epidermal cells, chondrocytes and NIH3T3 fibroblasts primarily cultured in a significant way. Given that a yield of high-purity nVAP isolated from C. elaphus is 0.001%, nVAP is artificially synthesized to prepare synthetic velvet antler polypeptide(sVAP) according to its primary structure. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) of sVAP shows a single band, and its HPLC spectrum displays a single peak. The matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS) was used to identify sVAP to be of a molecular weight of 3200 and the consistency between primary structures of sVAP and nVAP. Bioactivity test shows that at a dose of 5―40 μg/mL, sVAP promotes the proliferation of primarily cultured epidermal cells and NIH3T3 cell line. From the traditional Chinese medicine theory, velvet antler from Cervus nippon(C. nippon) and velvet antler from C. elaphus are considered as the same medicine, but differences between biochemical base and pharmacological effect of these two velvet antlers have been observed. We compared the total polypeptide mapping of the two velvet antlers, discovering that nVAP is active polypeptide and only exists in the velvet antler of C. elaphus. sVAP is similar to nVAP in physicochemical property and biological activity. These studies extend the possible utility of sVAP to be the promising compound to prepare velvet antler polypeptide of C. elaphus.
