In this study, Lepidotrigla microptera were hydrolyzed with four different proteolytic enzymes (Papain, neutrase, flavourzyme, and alcalase), and their distribution of molecular weights and ACE-inhibitory activity were tested. The alcalase hydrolysates showed the maximum ACE-inhibitory activity. A novel ACE-inhibitory peptide was isolated and purified from Lepidotrigla microptera protein hydrolysate (LMPH) using ultrafiltration, gel filtration chromatography, and preparative high performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC). The amino acid sequence of the purified peptide was identified as Phe-Leu-Thr-Ala-Gly-Leu-Leu-Asp (DLTAGLLE), and the IC50 value was 0.13 mg/mL. The ACE-inhibitory activity of DLTAGLLE was stable across a range of temperatures (<100 °C) and pH values (3.0−11.0) and retained after gastrointestinal digestion. DLTAGLLE was further identified as a noncompetitive inhibitor by Lineweaver−Burk plot. The molecular docking simulation showed that DLTAGLLE showed a high binding affinity with ACE sites by seven short hydrogen bonds. As the first reported antihypertensive peptide extracted from alcalase hydrolysate of Lepidotrigla microptera, DLTAGLLE has the potential to develop functional food or novel ACE-inhibitor drugs.
在本研究中,用四种不同的蛋白水解酶(木瓜蛋白酶、中性蛋白酶、风味酶和碱性蛋白酶)对短鳍红娘鱼进行水解,并测试其分子量分布和ACE抑制活性。碱性蛋白酶水解产物显示出最大的ACE抑制活性。使用超滤、凝胶过滤色谱和制备型高效液相色谱(prep-HPLC)从短鳍红娘鱼蛋白水解物(LMPH)中分离并纯化出一种新型ACE抑制肽。纯化肽的氨基酸序列被鉴定为苯丙氨酸-亮氨酸-苏氨酸-丙氨酸-甘氨酸-亮氨酸-亮氨酸-天冬氨酸(DLTAGLLE),IC50值为0.13mg/mL。DLTAGLLE的ACE抑制活性在一系列温度(<100°C)和pH值(3.0-11.0)范围内稳定,并且在胃肠道消化后仍保留。通过Lineweaver-Burk图进一步确定DLTAGLLE为非竞争性抑制剂。分子对接模拟表明,DLTAGLLE通过七个短氢键与ACE位点表现出高结合亲和力。作为首次报道的从短鳍红娘鱼碱性蛋白酶水解物中提取的降压肽,DLTAGLLE具有开发功能性食品或新型ACE抑制剂药物的潜力。
