Food Chem 2024; 447:139006. [PMID: 38492305 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
Pancreatic lipase (PL) and cholesterol esterase (CE) are vital digestive enzymes that regulate lipid digestion. Three bioactive peptides (LFCMH, RIPAGSPF, YFRPR), possessing enzyme inhibitory activities, were identified in the seed proteins of R. roxburghii. It is hypothesized that these peptides could inhibit the activities of these enzymes by binding to their active sites or altering their conformation. The results showed that LFCMH exhibited superior inhibitory activity against these enzymes compared to the other peptides. The inhibition mechanisms of the three peptides were identified as either competitive or mixed, according to inhibition models. Further studies have shown that peptides could bind to the active sites of enzymes, thus affecting their spatial conformation and restricting substrate entry into the active site. Molecular simulation further proved that hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions played a vital role in the binding of peptides to enzymes. This study enriches our understanding of interaction mechanisms of peptides on PL and CE.

Revealing the ACE receptor binding properties and interaction mechanisms of salty oligopeptides from Stropharia rugosoannulata mushroom by molecular simulation and antihypertensive evaluation.

Abstract
The salty oligopeptides from Stropharia rugosoannulata have been proven to be potential ACE inhibitors. To investigate the ACE receptor binding properties and interaction mechanisms of salty oligopeptides, the molecular interaction, dynamics simulation, and antihypertensive evaluation cross-validation strategy were employed to reveal the oligopeptides' binding reactions and modes with the ACE receptor. Single oligopeptide (ESPERPFL, KSWDDFFTR) had exothermic and specific binding reactions with the ACE receptor, driven by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. The coexistence of the multiple oligopeptide molecules did not produce the apparent ACE receptor competition binding reactions. The molecular dynamics simulation verified that the two oligopeptides disturbed the ACE receptor's different residue regions. Both oligopeptides could form stable complexes with the ACE receptor. Based on the classification of 50 oligopeptides' binding modes, ESPERPFL and KSWDDFFTR belonged to different classes, and their receptor binding modes and sites complemented, resulting in a potential synergistic effect on ACE inhibition. The antihypertensive effect of KSWDDFFTR and its distribution in the body were evaluated using SHR rats orally and ICR mice by tail vein injection, and KSWDDFFTR had antihypertensive effects within 8 h. The study provides a theoretical basis for understanding salty oligopeptides' ACE receptor binding mechanism and their antihypertensive effects.

Abstract
The impact of microplastics in lake water environments on microalgae carbon fixation and microplastic sedimentation has attracted global attention. The molecular dynamic simulation method was used to design microplastic additive proportioning schemes for improving microalgae carbon fixation and microplastic sedimentation. Results showed that the harm of microplastics can be effectively alleviated by adjusting the proportioning scheme of plastic additives. Besides, the decabromodiphenyl oxide (DBDPO) was identified as the main additive that affect the microalgae carbon fixation and microplastic sedimentation. Thus, a molecular modification based on CiteSpace visual analysis was firstly used and 12 DBDPO derivatives were designed. After the screening, DBDPO-2 and DBDPO-5 became the environmentally friendly DBDPO alternatives, with the highest microalgae carbon fixation and microplastic sedimentation ability enhancement of over 25 %. Compared to DBDPO, DBDPO derivatives were found easier to stimulate the adsorption and binding ability of surrounding hotspot amino acids to CO2 and ribulose-5-phosphate, increasing the solvent-accessible surface area of microplastics, thus improving the microalgae carbon fixation and microplastic sedimentation ability. This study provides theoretical support for simultaneously promoting the microalgae carbon fixation and microplastic sedimentation in the lake water environment and provides scientific basis for the protection and sustainable development of lake water ecosystem.

Abstract
To realize the high-value utilization of Rushan cheese by-product, Rushan cheese whey was used as a raw material to prepare angiotensin-Ⅰ-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides (ACEIPs). After enzymatic hydrolysisn and ultrafiltration, the sequences of peptides were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Two novel ACE inhibitory peptides Phe-Asp-Arg-Pro-Phe-Leu (FDRPFL) and Lys-Trp-Glu-Lys-Pro-Phe (KWEKPF) were identified. Additionally, both of the peptides exhibited good water-solubility and no toxicity according to in-silico prediction. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results show that both FDRPFL and KWEKPF were enriched in β-turn and β-sheet structures. Lineweaver-Burk plots revealed that FDRPFL and KWEKPF exhibited non-competitive and mixed inhibition patterns, respectively. Molecular docking and MD simulation showed that hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds forces allowed FDRPFL and KWEKPF to form stable and compact complexes with ACE. In conclusion, enzymatic hydrolysis of Rushan cheese by-products yields bioactive peptides, increases the added value of whey and reduces environmental pollution.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation is frequently employed to improve the nutritional, functional, and sensory characteristics of foods. Our study explored the effects of co-fermentation with Lacticaseibacillus paracasei ZH8 and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis YM313 on the physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and metabolomic profiles of wolfberry-longan juice (WLJ). Fermentation was carried out at 35 °C for 15 h. The results suggest that WLJ is a favorable substrate for LAB growth, reaching a total viable count exceeding 8 log CFU/mL after fermentation. LAB fermentation increased acidity, reduced the sugar content, and significantly impacted the juice color. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the WLJ and the antioxidant capacities based on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ABTS radical scavenging abilities and FRAP were significantly improved by LAB fermentation. Nontargeted metabolomics analysis suggested that the contents of small molecule substances in WLJ were considerably affected by LAB fermentation. A total of 374 differential metabolites were identified in the juice before and after fermentation, with 193 significantly upregulated metabolites and 181 siginificantly downregulated metabolites. The regulation of metabolites is important for improving the flavor and functions of juices, such as L-eucylproline, Isovitexin, Netivudine, 3-Phenyllactic acid, vanillin, and ethyl maltol, ect. This study provides a theoretical foundation for developing plant-based foods fermented with LAB.

Abstract
Bioactive peptides from foods have garnered considerable attention as viable supplements for hypertensive patients. Herein, the antihypertensive effect and mechanism of umami peptides from yeast extract were investigated based on the pharmacophore model, simulated digestion, spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) model, and molecular docking. Notably, umami peptide LLLLPKP exhibited favorable angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity (IC50 = 10.22 μM) in vitro and regulated blood pressure in the SHR model with excellent durability. Remarkably, LLLLPKP showed the highest Fitvalue (4.022) of the pharmacophore model, indicating its similar pharmacological effects as ACE inhibitors. During the simulated gastrointestinal digestion, the ACE inhibition rate of LLLLPKP was merely reduced by 5.89%, but it was enzymatically cleaved into 14 peptide segments. The C-terminal sequence comprising L (4), P (5), K (6), and P (7) exhibited robust stability and a notable presence within the peptide segments postdigestion. Meanwhile, according to molecular docking, these four residues within LLLLPKP were responsible for all interactions with key sites within active pockets S1 and S2 and the active pocket of Zn2+. In light of these findings, LLLLPKP is a highly promising antihypertensive peptide. Developing this umami peptide with antihypertensive effects holds substantial importance for the long-term treatment of hypertension.

Abstract
This review aims to provide an updated overview of edible insect proteins and the bioactivity of insect-derived peptides. The essential amino acid content of edible insects is compared with well-known protein sources to demonstrate that edible insects have the potential to cover the protein quality requirements for different groups of the population. Then the current methodologies for insect protein extraction are summarized including a comparison of the protein extraction yield and the final protein content of the resulting products for each method. Furthermore, in order to improve our understanding of insect proteins, their functional properties (such as solubility, foaming capacity, emulsifying, gelation, water holding capacity and oil holding capacity) are discussed. Bioactive peptides can be released according to various enzymatic hydrolysis protocols. In this context, the bioactive properties of insect peptides (antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties) have been discussed. However, the allergens present in insect proteins are still a major concern and an unsolved issue for insect-based product consumption; thus, an analysis of cross reactivity and the different methods available to reduce allergenicity are proposed. Diverse studies of insect protein hydrolysates/peptides have been ultimately promoting the utilization of insect proteins for future perspectives and the emerging processing technologies to enhance the wider utilization of insect proteins for different purposes.

Abstract
Undecapeptide is the central peptide molecule in the peptide base material of Stropharia rugosoannulata, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) plays a crucial role in hypertension. To fully explore the interaction mechanism and ACE-inhibitory activity of long-chain peptides from Stropharia rugosoannulata, the binding conformations of twenty-seven undecapeptides with the ACE receptor were revealed by molecule docking. The undecapeptide GQEDYDRLRPL with better receptor binding capacity and higher secondary mass spectral abundance was screened. All amino acid residues except proline in GQEDYDRLRPL interacted with the ACE receptor. GQEDYDRLRPL interfered with the receptor's overall structure, with significant fluctuations in amino acid residues 340-355, including two residues in the receptor's active pockets. The binding constants of GQEDYDRLRPL to the ACE receptors were at the μM level, with a kinetic binding constant of 9.26 × 10-7 M, which is a strong binding, and a thermodynamic binding constant of 3.06 × 10-6 M. Intermolecular interaction were exothermic, enthalpy-driven, and specific binding reactions. GQEDYDRLRPL had an IC50 value of 164.41 μmol/L in vitro and superior antihypertensive effects at low-gavage administration in vivo. Obtaining information on the interaction mechanism of ACE-inhibitory undecapeptides from S. rugosoannulata with the ACE receptor will help to develop and utilize ACE inhibitors of natural origin.

Abstract
Introduction: The oil palm kernel (OPK) expeller is the main byproduct of palm oil, but its utilization is limited. Methods: To obtain angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition peptides with Zn-chelating capacity, defatted oil palm kernel globulin hydrolysates (DOPKGH) were subjected to Sephadex G-15 gel electrophoresis, reverse-phase high liquid performance chromatography, and UPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis. Results and discussion: Five representative oligopeptides, including Gln-Arg-Leu-Asp-Arg-Cys-Lys (QRLERCK), Leu-Leu-Leu-Gly-Val-Ala-Asn-Tyr-Arg (LLLGVANYR), Arg-Ala-Asp-Val-Phe-Asn-Pro-Arg (RADVFNPR), Arg-Val-Ile-Lys-Tyr-Asn-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser-Gly (RVIKYNGGGSG), and Glu-Val-Pro-Gln-Ala-Tyr-Ile-Pro (EVPQAYIP), without potential toxicity and allergenicity, were identified in DOPKGH. Of these, only EVPQAYIP showed both ACE-inhibitory activity (IC50: 102.75 μmol/L) and Zn-chelating capacity (11.69 mg/g). Molecular docking and inhibition kinetics showed that EVPQAYIP was a competitive inhibitor of ACE because it could bind to Glu384, Lys511, and Gln281 (belonging to the central S1 and S2 pockets, respectively) of ACE. Moreover, EVPQAYIP affects zinc tetrahedral coordination in ACE by binding to Glu411; the amino and carboxyl groups of EVPQAYIP chelate with zinc ions. During gastrointestinal digestion, the ACE inhibitory activity of EVPQAYIP was relatively stable. Additionally, EVPQAYIP enhanced zinc stability in the intestine and exerted antihypertensive effects in spontaneous hypertensive rats. These results suggest the potential application of OPK peptides as ingredients in antihypertensive agents or zinc fortification.

Abstract
Recent studies emphasize the improved nutritional and functional status of fermented okara; however, little is known about the metabolite change during fermentation and how it alters metabolic pathways. A metabolomics approach based on untargeted LC-MS reveals metabolic changes in okara fermented by Bacillus subtilis DC-15. We identified 761 differential metabolites, with the highest abundances found in amino acids, dipeptides, fatty acids, small molecule sugars, and vitamins. Moreover, these identified metabolites were mapped to their respective biosynthesis pathways in order to gain a better understanding of the biochemical reactions triggered by fermentation. Based on Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, 485 metabolites were enriched to metabolism-related pathways. They include 37 carbohydrate metabolites, 79 amino acid metabolites, and 22 lipid metabolites. As a result of okara fermentation, we observed a gradual enrichment of metabolites and stabilization of the compounds.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the major reasons for deaths globally. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) regulates body hypertension and fluid balance which causes CVD. Angiotensin-converting enzyme I (ACE I) is the central Zn-metallopeptidase component of the RAAS playing a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis of the cardiovascular system. The available drugs to treat CVD have many side effects, and thus, there is a need to explore phytocompounds and peptides to be utilized as alternative therapies. Soybean is a unique legume cum oilseed crop with an enriched source of proteins. Soybean extracts serve as a primary ingredient in many drug formulations against diabetes, obesity, and spinal cord-related disorders. Soy proteins and their products act against ACE I which may provide a new scope for the identification of potential scaffolds that can help in the design of safer and natural cardiovascular therapies. In this study, the molecular basis for selective inhibition of 34 soy phytomolecules (especially of beta-sitosterol, soyasaponin I, soyasaponin II, soyasaponin II methyl ester, dehydrosoyasaponin I, and phytic acid) was evaluated using in silico molecular docking approaches and dynamic simulations. Our results indicate that amongst the compounds, beta-sitosterol exhibited a potential inhibitory action against ACE I.

Abstract
Angiotensin-converting enzyme I (ACE I) is a zinc-containing metallopeptidase involved in the renin-angiotensin system (RAAS) that helps in the regulation of hypertension and maintains fluid balance otherwise, which results in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). One of the leading reasons of global deaths is due to CVDs. RAAS also plays a central role in maintaining homeostasis of the CV system. The commercial drugs available to treat CVDs possess several fatal side effects. Hence, phytochemicals like peptides having plant-based origin should be explored and utilized as alternative therapies. Soybean is an important leguminous crop that simultaneously possesses medicinal properties. Soybean extracts are used in many drug formulations for treating diabetes and other disorders and ailments. Soy proteins and its edible products such as tofu have shown potential inhibitory activity against ACE. Thus, this review briefly describes various soy proteins and products that can be used to inhibit ACE thereby providing new scope for the identification of potential candidates that can help in the design of safer and natural treatments for CVDs.
