At present, the incidence rate of diabetes is increasing gradually, and inhibiting α-glucosidase is one of the effective methods used to control blood sugar. This study identified new peptides from rice bran fermentation broth and evaluated their inhibitory activity and mechanism against α-glucosidase. Rice bran was fermented with Bacillus subtilis MK15 and the polypeptides of <3 kDa were isolated by ultrafiltration and chromatographic column, and were then subjected to LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry analysis. The results revealed that the oligopeptide GLLGY showed the greatest inhibitory activity in vitro. Docking studies with GLLGY on human α-glucosidase (PDB ID 5NN8) suggested a binding energy of −7.1 kcal/mol. GLLGY acts as a non-competitive inhibitor and forms five hydrogen bonds with Asp282, Ser523, Asp616, and His674 of α-glucosidase. Moreover, it retained its inhibitory activity even in a simulated digestion environment in vitro. The oligopeptide GLLGY could be developed into a potential anti-diabetic agent.
目前,糖尿病的发病率正在逐渐上升,抑制α-葡萄糖苷酶是控制血糖的有效方法之一。本研究从米糠发酵液中鉴定出新的肽段,并评估了它们对α-葡萄糖苷酶的抑制活性及其作用机制。用枯草芽孢杆菌MK15发酵米糠,通过超滤和色谱柱分离出分子量小于3 kDa的多肽,然后进行LC-MS/MS质谱分析。结果表明,寡肽GLLGY在体外表现出最大的抑制活性。GLLGY与人α-葡萄糖苷酶(PDB ID 5NN8)的对接研究表明其结合能为−7.1 kcal/mol。GLLGY作为非竞争性抑制剂,与α-葡萄糖苷酶的Asp282、Ser523、Asp616和His674形成五个氢键。此外,即使在体外模拟消化环境中,它仍保留其抑制活性。寡肽GLLGY有望开发成为一种潜在的抗糖尿病药物。
