The inhibition of α-glucosidase decreases postprandial blood glucose and therefore plays an important role in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present study investigated and characterized a peptide fraction of sericin hydrolysate, the kinetics of peptide-induced inhibition of α-glucosidase, and the interaction mechanism between the peptides and α-glucosidase. The fraction that eluted with 0.4 M NaCl (F5-SPs) on a DEAE-cellulose column exhibited significant inhibitory activity with an IC of 41 ± 1.94 μg mL. A kinetics analysis revealed that the F5-SP-induced inhibition was a reversible and parabolic mixed-type inhibition with a K value of 86.63 ± 0.014 μg mL. F5-SPs can bind to α-glucosidase at multiple sites to alter the conformation of α-glucosidase. F5-SPs were found to be rich in Gly, Ser, Glu, Tyr, Arg, and Pro, and had a sericin-conserved sequence SEDSSEVDIDLGNLG, as analyzed by Nano LC-MS/MS. Fluorescence spectra analysis showed that F5-SPs quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of α-glucosidase by a static quenching mechanism, and circular dichroism analysis suggested that the binding of F5-SPs to α-glucosidase resulted in the alteration of the secondary structure of an enzyme. The results of this study support the dietary recommendation of F5-SPs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制剂可降低餐后血糖,因此在治疗 2 型糖尿病方面发挥着重要作用。本研究调查并鉴定了丝胶水解物的肽段,研究了肽诱导α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制的动力学以及肽与α-葡萄糖苷酶之间的相互作用机制。在 DEAE-纤维素柱上用 0.4 M NaCl 洗脱的级分(F5-SPs)显示出显著的抑制活性,IC 为 41±1.94μg·mL。动力学分析表明,F5-SP 诱导的抑制是一种可逆的抛物线型混合抑制,K 值为 86.63±0.014μg·mL。F5-SPs 可以在多个部位与α-葡萄糖苷酶结合,改变α-葡萄糖苷酶的构象。通过 Nano LC-MS/MS 分析发现,F5-SPs 富含 Gly、Ser、Glu、Tyr、Arg 和 Pro,具有丝胶保守序列 SEDSSEVDIDLGNLG。荧光光谱分析表明,F5-SPs 通过静态猝灭机制猝灭了α-葡萄糖苷酶的内源性荧光,圆二色性分析表明 F5-SPs 与α-葡萄糖苷酶的结合导致了酶二级结构的改变。本研究结果支持将 F5-SPs 作为治疗 2 型糖尿病的饮食推荐。
