Talanta 2024; 280:126745. [PMID: 39180874 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
The effective method for trypsin purification should be established because trypsin has important economic value. In this work, a novel and simple strategy was proposed for fabricating micron-sized magnetic Fe3O4@agarose-benzamidine beads (MABB) with benzamidine as a ligand, which can efficiently and selectively capture trypsin. The micro-sized MABB, with clear spherical core-shell structure and average particle size of 6.6 μm, showed excellent suspension ability and magnetic responsiveness in aqueous solution. The adsorption capacity and selectivity of MABB towards target trypsin were significantly better than those of non-target lysozyme. According to the Langmuir equation, the maximum adsorption capacity of MABB for trypsin was 1946 mg g-1 at 25 °C, and the adsorption should be a physical sorption process. Furthermore, the initial adsorption rate and half equilibrium time of MABB toward trypsin were 787.4 mg g-1 min-1 and 0.71 min, respectively. To prove the practicability, MABB-based magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) was proposed, and the related parameters were optimized in detail to improve the purification efficiency. With Tris-HCl buffer (50 mM, 10 mM CaCl2, pH 8.0) as extraction buffer, Tris-HCl buffer (50 mM, 100 mM CaCl2, pH 8.0) as rinsing buffer, acidic eluent (0.01 M HCl, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 2.0) as eluent buffer and alkaline buffer (1 M Tris-HCl buffer, pH 10.0) as neutralization solution, the MABB-based MSPE was successfully used for trypsin purification from the viscera of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). The molecular weight of purified trypsin was determined as approximate 23 kDa through sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The purified trypsin was highly active from 30 °C to 60 °C, with an optimum temperature of 50 °C, and was tolerant to pH variation, exhibiting 85 % of maximum enzyme activity from pH 7.0 to 10.0. The results demonstrated that the proposed MABB-based MSPE could effectively purify trypsin and ensure the biological activity of purified trypsin. Therefore, we believe that the novel MABB could be applicable for efficient purification of trypsin from complex biological systems.

Characterization, whole-genome sequence analysis, and protease production of a new thermophilic Bacillus licheniformis strain isolated from Debagh hot spring, Algeria. Int Microbiol 2024:10.1007/s10123-024-00569-9. [PMID: 39129036 DOI: 10.1007/s10123-024-00569-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
A new thermophilic strain, designated as Bacillus sp. LMB3902, was isolated from Hammam Debagh, the hottest spring in Algeria (up to 98 °C). This isolate showed high protease production in skim milk media at 55 °C and exhibited significant specific protease activity by using azocasein as a substrate (157.50 U/mg). Through conventional methods, chemotaxonomic characteristics, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and comparative genomic analysis with the closely related strain Bacillus licheniformis DSM 13 (ATCC 14580 T), the isolate Bacillus sp. LMB3902 was identified as a potentially new strain of Bacillus licheniformis. In addition, the gene functions of Bacillus sp. LMB3902 strain were predicted using the Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, Clusters of Orthologous Groups, Non-Redundant Protein Sequence Database, Swiss-Prot, and Pfam databases. The results showed that the genome size of Bacillus sp. LMB3902 was 4.279.557 bp, with an average GC content of 46%. The genome contained 4.760 predicted genes, including 8 rRNAs, 78 tRNAs, and 24 sRNAs. A total of 235 protease genes were annotated including 50 proteases with transmembrane helix structures and eight secreted proteases with signal peptides. Additionally, the majority of secondary metabolites found by antiSMASH platform showed low similarity to identified natural products, such as fengicin (53%), lichenysin (57%), and surfactin (34%), suggesting that this strain may encode for novel uncharacterized natural products which can be useful for biotechnological applications. This study is the first report that describes the complete genome sequence, taxono-genomics, and gene annotation as well as protease production of the Bacillus genus in this hydrothermal vent.

Abstract
The global population has rapidly expanded in the last few decades and is continuing to increase at a rapid pace. To meet this growing food demand fish is considered a balanced food source due to their high nutritious value and low cost. Fish are rich in well-balanced nutrients, a good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids and impose various health benefits. Furthermore, the most commonly used preservation technologies including cooling, freezing, super-chilling and chemical preservatives are discussed, which could prolong the shelf life. Non-thermal technologies such as pulsed electric field (PEF), fluorescence spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging technique (HSI) and high-pressure processing (HPP) are used over thermal techniques in marine food industries for processing of most economical fish products in such a way as to meet consumer demands with minimal quality damage. Many by-products are produced as a result of processing techniques, which have caused serious environmental pollution. Therefore, highly advanced technologies to utilize these by-products for high-value-added product preparation for various applications are required. This review provides updated information on the nutritional value of fish, focusing on their preservation technologies to inhibit spoilage, improve shelf life, retard microbial and oxidative degradation while extending the new applications of non-thermal technologies, as well as reconsidering the values of by-products to obtain bioactive compounds that can be used as functional ingredients in pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food processing industries.

Abstract
Trypsins (E.C. 3.4.21.4) are digestive enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds containing arginine and lysine residues. Some trypsins from fish species are active at temperatures just above freezing, and for that are called cold-adapted enzymes, having many biotechnological applications. In this work, we characterized a recombinant trypsin-III from Monterey sardine (Sardinops caeruleus) and studied the role of a single residue on its cold-adapted features. The A236N mutant from sardine trypsin-III showed higher activation energy for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction, it was more active at higher temperatures, and exhibited a higher thermal stability than the wild-type enzyme, suggesting a key role of this residue. The thermodynamic activation parameters revealed an increase in the activation enthalpy for the A236N mutant, suggesting the existence of more intramolecular contacts during the activation step. Molecular models for both enzymes suggest that a hydrogen-bond involving N236 may contact the C-terminal α-helix to the vicinity of the active site, thus affecting the biochemical and thermodynamic properties of the enzyme.

Abstract
Digestive proteases from marine organisms have been poorly applied to biomedicine. Exceptions are trypsin and other digestive proteases from a few cold-adapted or temperate fish and crustacean species. These enzymes are more efficient than enzymes from microorganism and higher vertebrates that have been used traditionally. However, the biomedical potential of digestive proteases from warm environment species has received less research attention. This review aims to provide an overview of this unrealised biomedical potential, using the debridement application as a paradigm. Debridement is intended to remove nonviable, necrotic and contaminated tissue, as well as fibrin clots, and is a key step in wound treatment. We discuss the physiological role of enzymes in wound healing, the use of exogenous enzymes in debridement, and the limitations of cold-adapted enzymes such as their poor thermal stability. We show that digestive proteases from tropical crustaceans may have advantages over their cold-adapted counterparts for this and similar uses. Differences in thermal stability, auto-proteolytic stability, and susceptibility to proteinase inhibitors are discussed. Furthermore, it is proposed that the feeding behaviour of the source organism may direct the evaluation of enzymes for particular applications, as digestive proteases have evolved to fill a wide variety of feeding habitats, natural substrates, and environmental conditions. We encourage more research on the biomedical application of digestive enzymes from tropical marine crustaceans.

Abstract
The current demands of the world's biotechnological industries are enhancement in enzyme productivity and development of novel techniques for increasing their shelf life. Compared to free enzymes in solution, immobilized enzymes are more robust and more resistant to environmental changes. More importantly, the heterogeneity of the immobilized enzyme systems allows an easy recovery of both enzymes and products, multiple reuse of enzymes, continuous operation of enzymatic processes, rapid termination of reactions, and greater variety of bioreactor designs. This review summarizes immobilization definition, different immobilization methods, advantages and disadvantages of each method. In addition, it covers some food industries, protein purification, human nutrition, biodiesel production, and textile industry. In these industries, the use of enzymes has become an inevitable processing strategy when a perfect end product is desired. It also can be used in many other important industries including health care and pharmaceuticals applications. One of the best uses of enzymes in the modern life is their application in diagnose and treatment of many disease especially when used in drug delivery system or when used in nanoform.

Abstract
Atlantic cod trypsin ZT is biochemically characterized for the first time in this report in comparison to a group I trypsin (cod trypsin I). To our knowledge, trypsin ZT is the first thoroughly characterized group III trypsin. A more detailed understanding of trypsin ZT biochemistry may give insight into its physiological role as well as its potential use within the biotechnology sector. Stability is an important factor when it comes to practical applications of enzymes. Compared to trypsin I, trypsin ZT shows differences in pH and heat stability, sensitivity to inhibitors and sub-site substrate specificity as shown by multiplex substrate profiling analysis. Based on the analysis, trypsin ZT cleaved at arginine and lysine as other trypsins. Furthermore, trypsin ZT is better than trypsin I in cleaving peptides containing several consecutive positively charged residues. Lysine- and arginine-rich amino acid sequences are frequently found in human viral proteins. Thus, trypsin ZT may be effective in inactivating human and fish viruses implying a possible role for the enzyme in the natural defence of Atlantic cod. The results from this study can lead to multiple practical applications of trypsin ZT.
