Production of novel angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides by fermentation of marine shrimp <Emphasis Type="Italic">Acetes chinensis</Emphasis> with <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lactobacillus fermentum</Emphasis> SM 605

Acetes chinensis is an underutilized shrimp species thriving in Bo Hai Gulf of China. Its hydrolysate digested with protease SM98011 has been previously shown to have high angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity (He et al., J Pept Sci 12:726-733, 2006). In this article, A. chinensis were fermented by Lactobacillus fermentum SM 605 and the fermented sauce presented high ACE inhibitory activity. The minimum IC(50) value (3.37 +/- 0.04 mg/mL) was achieved by response surface methodology with optimized process parameters such as fermentation time of 24.19 h, incubation temperature at 38.10 degrees C, and pH 6.12. Three ACE inhibitory peptides are purified by ultrafiltration, gel filtration, and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Identified by mass spectrometry, their amino acid sequences are Asp-Pro, Gly-Thr-Gly, and Ser-Thr, with IC(50) values of 2.15 +/- 0.02, 5.54 +/- 0.09, and 4.03 +/- 0.10 microM, respectively. Also, they are all novel ACE inhibitory peptides. Compared with protease digestion, fermentation is a simpler and cheaper method to produce ACE inhibitory peptides from shrimp A. chinensis.     

Novel angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides isolated from Alcalase hydrolysate of mung bean protein.

Mung bean protein isolates were hydrolyzed for 2 h by Alcalase. The generated hydrolysate showed angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity with the IC(50) value of 0.64 mg protein/ml. Three kinds of novel ACE inhibitory peptides were isolated from the hydrolysate by Sephadex G-15 and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). These peptides were identified by amino acid composition analysis and matrix assisted-laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS/MS), as Lys-Asp-Tyr-Arg-Leu, Val-Thr-Pro-Ala-Leu-Arg and Lys-Leu-Pro-Ala-Gly-Thr-Leu-Phe with the IC(50) values of 26.5 microM, 82.4 microM and 13.4 microM, respectively.     

High throughput and rapid screening of marine protein hydrolysates enriched in peptides with angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity by capillary electrophoresis

Twelve kinds of marine protein materials, including fish, shrimp, seashell, algae and seafood wastes were selected for the hydrolysis using four different proteases. The IC(50) values for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of 48 hydrolysates were rapidly determined by capillary electrophoresis (CE). The values ranged from 0.17 to 501.7mg/ml, and were affected by both the marine protein resources and the selected proteases. Hydrolysates of the lowest IC(50) values were from shrimp (Acetes chinensis), shark meat, mackerel bone, Polysiphonia urceolata and Spirulina platensis, indicating these five kinds of marine food proteins contained beneficial materials for the production of ACE inhibitory peptides by proteolysis. The hydrolysates obtained using proteases Protamex and SM98011 had lower IC(50) values, showing these two proteases were superior to others. The CE method achieved the same sensitivity as the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. However, the CE method was faster and, as a result, more economical. Therefore, CE had potential for rapid screening of marine protein hydrolysates enriched in ACE inhibitory peptides.     

Production of angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides from β-lactoglobulin- and casein-derived peptides: an integrative approach

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition is one of the mechanisms by which reduction in blood pressure is exerted. Whey proteins are a rich source of ACE inhibitory peptides and have shown a blood pressure reduction effect i.e. antihypertensive activity. The aim of this work was to develop a simplified process using a combination of adsorption and microfiltration steps for the production of hydrolysates from whey with high ACE inhibitory activity and potency; the latter was measured as the IC50, which is the peptide concentration required to reduce ACE activity by half. This process integrates the selective separation of β-lactoglobulin- and casein-derived peptides (CDP) from rennet whey and their hydrolysis, which results in partially pure, less complex hydrolysates with high bioactive potency. Hydrolysis was carried out with protease N "Amano" in a thermostatically controlled membrane reactor operated in a batch mode. By applying the integrative approach it was possible to produce from the same feedstock two different hydrolysates that exhibited high ACE inhibition. One hydrolysate was mainly composed of casein-derived peptides with IC50=285 μg/mL. In this hydrolysate we identified the well-known potent ACE-inhibitor and antihypertensive tripeptide Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP) and another novel octapeptide Gln-Asp-Lys-Thr-Glu-Ile-Pro-Thr (QDKTEIPT). The second hydrolysate was mainly composed of β-lactoglobulin derived peptides with IC50=28 μg/mL. This hydrolysate contained a tetrapeptide (Ile-Ile-Ala-Glu) IIAE as one of the two major peptides. A further advantage to this process is that enzyme activity was substantially increased as enzyme product inhibition was reduced.     

Identification and molecular docking of novel ACE inhibitory peptides from protein hydrolysates of shrimp waste

The effect of enzymatic hydrolysis by Savinase on the interfacial properties and antihypertensive activity of shrimp waste proteins was evaluated. The physicochemical characterization, interfacial tension, and surface characteristics of shrimp waste protein hydrolysates (SWPH) using different enzyme/substrate (E/S) (SWPH₅ (SWPH using E/S = 5), SWPH₁₅ (SWPH using E/S = 15), and SWPH₄₀ (SWPH using E/S = 40)) were also studied. SWPH₅, SWPH₁₅, and SWPH₄₀ had an isoelectric pH around 2.07, 2.17, and 2.54 respectively. SWPH₅ exhibited the lowest interfacial tension (68.96 mN/m) followed by SWPH₁₅ (69.36 mN/m) and SWPH₄₀ (70.29 mN/m). The in vitro ACE inhibitory activity of shrimp waste protein hydrolysates showed that the most active hydrolysate was obtained using an enzyme/substrate of 15 U/mg (SWPH₁₅). SWPH₁₅ had a lower IC₅₀ value (2.17 mg/mL) than that of SWPH₅ and SWPH₄₀ (3.65 and 5.7 mg/mL, respectively). This hydrolysate was then purified and characterized. Fraction F1 separated by Sephadex G25 column which presents the best ACE inhibition activity was then separated by reversed‐phase high performance liquid chromatography. Four ACE inhibitory peptides were identified and their molecular masses and amino acid sequences were determined using ESI–MS and ESI–MS/MS, respectively. The structures of the most potent peptides were SSSKAKKMP, HGEGGRSTHE, WLGHGGRPDHE, and WRMDIDGDIMISEQEAHQR. The structural modeling of anti‐ACE peptides from shrimp waste through docking simulations results showed that these peptides bound to ACE with high affinity.     

Preparation and functional evaluation of oligopeptide-enriched hydrolysate from shrimp (Acetes chinensis) treated with crude protease from Bacillus sp. SM98011

Marine organisms are potentially an untapped source of drugs and value-added food production. Currently, Acetes chinensis is an underutilized shrimp species with low commercial value from the Bo Hai Gulf of China. In this paper, the shrimp was digested by a crude protease from Bacillus sp. SM98011 and filtered through a 3 kDa ultrafiltration membrane. Biological functions of the hydrolysate and ultrafiltrate were then assayed. The analyses showed that 41% of the oligopeptides in the ultrafiltrate had a molecular mass lower than 3 kDa. The antioxidant activities of the hydrolysate and ultrafiltrate were determined through the scavenger activity of the hydroxyl radical, with inhibitions of 42.38% and 67.95%, respectively. The hydrolysate and ultrafiltrate also had good Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 0.98 mg/ml and 0.22 mg/ml, respectively. In addition, Chitin and chitosan were recovered from the hydrolytic sediment using a much smaller volume of strong acids and bases than is normally needed. With this method, we have shown that A. chinensis can be utilized to generate a high value-added product, and have revealed its hidden potential in the production of functional foods and ACE inhibitory peptides.     

Purification and characterization of angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptide from enzymatic hydrolysates of Styela clava flesh tissue

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide was isolated from the Styela clava flesh tissue. Nine proteases (Protamex, Kojizyme, Neutrase, Flavourzyme, Alcalase, pepsin, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin and papain) were used, and their respective enzymatic hydrolysates and an aqueous extract were screened to evaluate their potential ACE inhibitory activity. Among all of the test samples, Protamex hydrolysate possessed the highest ACE inhibitory activity, and the Protamex hydrolysate of flesh tissue showed relatively higher ACE inhibitory activity compared with the Protamex hydrolysate of tunic tissue. We attempted to isolate ACE inhibitory peptide from the Protamex hydrolysate of S. clava flesh tissue using ultrafiltration, gel filtration on a Sephadex G-25 column and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on an ODS column. The purified ACE inhibitory peptide exhibited an IC₅₀ value of 37.1 μM and was identified as non-competitive inhibitor of ACE. Amino acid sequence of the peptide was identified as Ala-His-Ile-Ile-Ile, with a molecular weight 565.3 Da. The results of this study suggested that the peptides derived from enzymes-assisted extracts of S. clava would be useful new antihypertension compounds in functional food resource.     

Purification and characterization of angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitory peptides from the rotifer, Brachionus rotundiformis

Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide was isolated from the marine rotifer, Brachionus rotundiformis. ACE inhibitory peptides were separated from rotifer hydrolysate prepared by Alcalase, α-chymotrypsin, Neutrase, papain, and trypsin. The Alcalase hydrolysate had the highest ACE inhibitory activity compared to the other hydrolysates. The IC₅₀ value of Alcalase hydrolysate for ACE inhibitory activity was 0.63 mg/ml. We attempted to isolate ACE inhibitory peptides from Alcalase prepared rotifer hydrolysate using gel filtration on a Sephadex G-25 column and high performance liquid chromatography on an ODS column. The IC₅₀ value of purified ACE inhibitory peptide was 9.64 μM, and Lineweaver–Burk plots suggest that the peptide purified from rotifer protein acts as a competitive inhibitor against ACE. Amino acid sequence of the peptide was identified as Asp-Asp-Thr-Gly-His-Asp-Phe-Glu-Asp-Thr-Gly-Glu-Ala-Met, with a molecular weight 1538 Da. The results of this study suggest that peptides derived from rotifers may be beneficial as anti-hypertension compounds in functional foods resource.     

Gastrointestinal enzyme production of bioactive peptides from royal jelly protein and their antihypertensive ability in SHR

In order to clarify the potential physiological function of royal jelly (RJ), we report here the gastrointestinal enzyme production of antihypertensive peptides from RJ. Intact RJ and its protein fraction did not retard the action of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity at all. However, development of ACE inhibition power of RJ was newly observed by pepsin hydrolysis (IC(50)=0.358 mg protein/mL), and the subsequent trypsin and chymotrypsin hydrolyses (IC(50)=0.099 mg protein/mL). Single oral administration of this gastrointestinal RJ hydrolysate (1 g/kg dose) in 10-week spontaneously hypertensive rat resulted in a significant reduction of systolic blood pressure of 22.7 plus minus 3.6 mmHg at 2 hr (P<0.05 vs. 0 hr by one-way ANOVA, n=7). Then, the RJ hydrolysate was fractionated with gel permeation chromatography to obtain the di- and tri-peptides (DTP) fraction. As a result of isolation from the DTP fraction by reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography, eleven ACE inhibitory peptides were isolated from the DTP-RJ hydrolysate. Some of the ACE inhibitors were derived from the RJ-glycoprotein; eight peptides with the IC(50) value of <10 &mgr;M were identified from natural resources for the first time. Consequently, RJ protein was thought to be a good resource of ACE inhibitory peptides produced by the gastrointestinal enzyme hydrolyses.     

Latent production of angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitors from buckwheat protein.

The latent production of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors from tartary buckwheat (BW) was investigated, and the peptides responsible for ACE inhibition characterized. Intact buckwheat was found to exhibit ACE inhibitory activity having an IC50 value of 3.0 mg/ml. The activity of the protein fraction (IC50: 0.36 mg protein/ml) was not enhanced by pepsin treatment. Pepsin, followed by chymotrypsin and trypsin hydrolysis, resulted in a significant increase in the ACE inhibitory activity (IC50: 0.14 mg protein/ml). The rutin contained in the buckwheat did not exhibit any ACE inhibition. A single oral administration of BW digest lowered the systolic blood pressure of a spontaneously hypertensive rat. Thus, BW proteins offer a potential resource for producing ACE inhibitory peptides during the digestion process. From the di-/tri-peptide fraction (DTPF) of the BW digest, inhibitory peptides were identified. The magnitude (%) of the total ACE inhibitory contribution of each identified peptide, relative to the overall inhibition of the DTPF, was about 41%.     

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides isolated from tofuyo fermented soybean food

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was observed in a tofuyo (fermented soybean food) extract with an IC(50) value of 1.77 mg/ml. Two ACE inhibitors were isolated to homogeneity from the extract by adsorption and gel filtration column chromatography, and by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The purified substances reacted with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzensulfonic acid sodium salt. The amino acid sequences of these inhibitors determined by Edman degradation were Ile-Phe-Leu (IC(50), 44.8 microM) and Trp-Leu (IC(50), 29.9 microM). The Ile-Phe-Leu sequence is found in the alpha- and beta-subunits of beta-conglycinin, while the Trp-Leu sequence is in the B-, B1A- and BX-subunits of glycinin from soybean. Both of the peptides are non-competitive inhibitors. The inhibitory activity of Trp-Leu was completely preserved after a treatment with pepsin, chymotrypsin or trypsin. Even after successive digestion by these gastrointestinal proteases, the activity remained at 29% of the original value.     

Purification and characterization of a novel angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide derived from enzymatic hydrolysate of grass carp protein

Peptides inhibiting angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE, EC. 3.4.15.1) are possible cures of hypertension. Food-derived ACE-inhibitory peptides are particularly attractive because of reduced side effects. Previously, we reported ACE-inhibitory activity of grass carp protein hydrolysates. In this work, we report steps for purifying the ACE-inhibitory peptide from the hydrolysate and its biochemical properties. Following steps of ultrafiltration, macroporous adsorption resin, and two steps of reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RE-HPLC), a single Val-Ala-Pro (VAP) tripeptide was identified. The tripeptide with excellent ACE-inhibitory activity (IC(50) value of 0.00534 mg/mL) was a competitive ACE inhibitor and stable against both ACE and gastrointestinal enzymes of pepsin and chymotrypsin. This is the first report of food-derived VAP. The identified unique biochemical properties of VAP may enable the application of grass carp protein hydrolysates as a functional food for treatments of hypertension. The developed purification conditions also allow the production of VAP for pharmaceutical applications.     

Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides from tryptic hydrolysate of bovine alphaS2-casein

Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of a tryptic digest of bovine alpha(S2)-casein (alpha(S2)-CN) was extensively investigated. Forty-three peptide peaks were isolated and tested. Seven casokinins (i.e. CN-derived ACE inhibitory peptides) were identified and their IC50 values were determined. Four peptides exhibited an IC50 value lower than 20 microM. Peptides alpha(S2)-CN (f174-181) and alpha(S2)-CN (f174-179) had IC50 values of 4 microM. Surprisingly, deletion of the C-terminal dipeptide of two of these casokinins did not significantly alter their inhibitory activity.     

Novel Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Peptides Found in a Thermolysin-Treated Elastin with Antihypertensive Activity

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was generated from elastin and collagen by hydrolyzing with thermolysin. The IC₅₀ value of 531.6 µg/mL for ACE inhibition by the elastin hydrolysate was five times less than 2885.1 µg/mL by the collagen hydrolysate. We confirmed the antihypertensive activity of the elastin hydrolysate in vivo by feeding spontaneously hypertensive rats (male) on a diet containing 1% of the elastin hydrolysate for 9 weeks. About 4 week later, the systolic blood pressure of the rats in the elastin hydrolysate group had become significantly lower than that of the control group. We identified novel ACE inhibitory peptides, VGHyp, VVPG and VYPGG, in the elastin hydrolysate by using a protein sequencer and quadrupole linear ion trap (QIT)-LC/MS/MS. VYPGG had the highest IC₅₀ value of 244 µM against ACE and may have potential use as a functional food.     

HPLC preparation of fish waste hydrolysate fractions. Effect on guinea pig ileum and ACE activity

The effect of RP-HPLC-purified fractions of fish waste hydrolysates issued from three fish industries was tested on guinea pig ileum in order to examine the presence of opioid molecules. The evaluation of anti-hypertensive activities of whole hydrolysates and fractions were also tested, monitoring the ability of the fraction to inhibit the activity of angiotensin I-converting enzyme involved in hypertension regulation. Sardine autolysate and cod head hydrolysate powder (50 microg) were able to inhibit near 30% of ACE activity, whereas 50 microg of shrimp hydrolysate allows the inhibition of 57% of ACE activity. HPLC fractionation of cod head hydrolysate and sardine autolysate was necessary to evidence biological activity, whereas HPLC separation of shrimp hydrolysate exhibited low biological activity fractions. Further studies are necessary to characterise bioactive molecules from cod head alcalase hydrolysate and from sardine autolysate.     

Isolation and characterization of angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides derived from porcine hemoglobin

Animal blood is potentially an untapped source of drugs and value-added food production. More than 400 million pigs are slaughtered each year but porcine blood is usually discarded in China. This study describes the isolation and characterization of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides derived from porcine hemoglobin. The most active hydrolysate was obtained from the peptic digestion of porcine hemoglobin. After the purification of ACE-inhibitory peptides with Sephadex LH-20 gel chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) on C(18) column, two active fractions were obtained. They were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). They were LGFPTTKTYFPHF and VVYPWT, corresponding to the 34-46 fragment of the alpha chain and the 34-39 fragment of the beta chain of porcine hemoglobin, with IC(50) values of 4.92 and 6.02 microM, respectively. They were the first found from porcine hemoglobin; in particular, LGFPTTKTYFPHF was a novel ACE-inhibitory peptide. In addition, the purified ACE inhibitors both competitively inhibited ACE, and maintained inhibitory activity even after incubation with gastrointestinal proteases. This suggests that these peptides might have a potential antihypertensive effect.     

Purification and characterization of antioxidant peptide from hoki (Johnius belengerii) frame protein by gastrointestinal digestion

To extract antioxidant peptide from hoki frame protein hydrolysate (APHPH), we employed six proteases (pepsin, trypsin, papain, alpha-chymotrypsin, Alcalase and Neutrase) for enzymatic hydrolysis, and the antioxidant activities of their hydrolysates were investigated using both lipid peroxidation inhibition assay and free radical scavenging assay by electron spin resonance spin-trapping technique. Among hydrolysates, peptic hydrolysate, having the highest antioxidant activity, further separated into four groups using ultrafiltration membranes and purified consecutive chromatographic methods. Finally, the purified peptide had a molecular mass of 1801 Da, and amino acid sequence was identified as Glu-Ser-Thr-Val-Pro-Glu-Arg-Thr-His-Pro-Ala-Cys-Pro-Asp-Phe-Asn. APHPH inhibited lipid peroxidation higher than that of alpha-tocopherol as positive control and efficiently quenched different sources of free radical: 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycryl-hydrazyl (IC(50)=41.37 microM), hydroxyl (IC(50)=17.77 microM), peroxyl (IC(50)=18.99 microM) and superoxide radicals (IC(50)=172.10 microM). Furthermore, APHPH decreased t-butylhydroperoxide-induced cytotoxicity on human embryonic lung fibroblasts and efficiently protected free-radical-induced DNA damage.     

Purification and identification of novel angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides from cultured marine microalgae (Nannochloropsis oculata) protein hydrolysate

Isolation of bioactive compounds and commercialization of marine microalgae sources are interesting targets in future marine biotechnology. Cultured biomass of the marine microalga, Nannochloropsis oculata, was used to purify angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides using proteases including pepsin, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, papain, alcalase, and neutrase. The pepsin hydrolysate exhibited the highest ACE inhibitory activity, compared to the other hydrolysates and then was separated into three fractions (F1, F2, and F3) using Sephadex G-25 gel filtration column chromatography. First fraction (F1) showed the highest ACE inhibitory activity and it was further purified into two fractions (F1-1 and F1-2) using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The IC₅₀ value of purified ACE inhibitory peptides were 123 and 173 μM and identified as novel peptides, Gly-Met-Asn-Asn-Leu-Thr-Pro (GMNNLTP; MW, 728 Da) and Leu-Glu-Gln (LEQ; MW, 369 Da), respectively. In addition, nitric oxide production level (%) was significantly increased by the purified peptide (Gly-Met-Asn-Asn-Leu-Thr-Pro) compared to the purified peptide (Leu-Glu-Gln) and other treated pepsin hydrolysate fractions on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Cell viability assay showed no cytotoxicity on HUVECs with the treated purified peptides and fractions. These results suggest that the isolated peptides from cultured marine microalga, N. oculata protein sources may have potentiality to use commercially as ACE inhibitory agents in functional food industry.

Enzyme proteolysis enhanced extraction of ACE inhibitory and antioxidant compounds (peptides and polyphenols) from Porphyra columbina residual cake

The traditional method to obtain phycocolloids from seaweeds implies successive extraction steps with cold and hot water. The residual cake derived from phycocolloids obtaining process of red seaweed Porphyra columbina is a waste containing 27 % protein and 10.7-mg gallic acid equivalents (100 g)^?1. Seaweeds contain functional proteins, and the enzymatic hydrolysis of these proteins has been shown to release bioactive peptides. The aims of this study were to extract bioactive peptides and polyphenols after enzymatic hydrolysis of the residual cake and to evaluate their ACE inhibitory and antioxidant capacities (TEAC, DPPH, and copper-chelating activity). Residual cake hydrolysate has low molecular weight peptides containing Asp, Glu, Ala, and Leu. Residual cake hydrolysate had higher protein solubility than residual cake. ACE inhibition (≈45 %) and radical scavenging activity (TEAC and DPPH inhibition) were attributed mainly to low molecular weight peptides (500 Da) and polyphenols compounds released during proteolysis. The 50 % inhibition protein concentration value (IC50) corresponded to residual cake hydrolysate was 1.01?±?0.02 and 0.91?±?0.01 g L^?1, for ABTS and DPPH, respectively. Also, residual cake hydrolysate had high copper-chelating activity (≈97.5 %). Hydrolysis could be used as a means to obtain ACE inhibitory and antioxidant compounds (peptides and polyphenols) from algae protein waste and add value to the phycocolloids extraction process.
