Li W, Yang S, An J, Wang M, Li H, Liu X. Statistical Characterization of Food-Derived α-Amylase Inhibitory Peptides: Computer Simulation and Partial Least Squares Regression Analysis. Molecules 2024; 29:395. [PMID: 38257308 PMCID: PMC10819330 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29020395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
α-Amylase inhibitory peptides are used to treat diabetes, but few studies have statistically characterized their interaction with α-amylase. This study performed the molecular docking of α-amylase with inhibitory peptides from published papers. The key sites, side chain chargeability, and hydrogen bond distribution characteristics were analyzed. Molecular dynamics simulated the role of key sites in complex stability. Moreover, partial least squares regression (PLSR) was used to analyze the contribution of different amino acids in the peptides to inhibition. The results showed that, for the α-amylase molecule, His201 and Gln63, with the highest interaction numbers (INs, 15, 15) and hydrogen bond values (HBVs, 11.50, 10.33), are the key sites on α-amylase, and amino acids with positively charged side chains were important for inhibitory activity. For the inhibitory peptides, Asp and Arg had the highest HBVs, and amino acids with charged side chains were more likely to form hydrogen bonds and exert inhibitory activity. In molecular dynamics simulations, peptides involving key binding sites formed more stable complexes with α-amylase than α-amylase alone, suggesting enhanced inhibitory effects. Further, PLSR results showed that amino acids close to the N-terminus of the inhibitory peptide, located in the third and fifth positions, were significantly correlated with its inhibitory activity. In conclusion, this study provides a new approach to developing and screening α-amylase inhibitors.

Deng F, Liang Y, Lei Y, Xiong S, Rong J, Hu Y. Development and Identification of Novel α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Peptides from Mulberry Leaves. Foods 2023; 12:3917. [PMID: 37959036 PMCID: PMC10649714 DOI: 10.3390/foods12213917] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The mulberry leaf is a botanical resource that possesses a substantial quantity of protein. In this study, alcalase hydrolysis conditions of mulberry leaf protein were optimized using the response surface method. The results showed that the optimum conditions were as follows: substrate protein concentration was 0.5% (w/v), enzymatic hydrolysis temperature was 53.0 °C, enzymatic hydrolysis time was 4.7 h, enzyme amount was 17,800 U/g, and pH was 10.5. Then mulberry leaf peptides were separated by ultrafiltration according to molecular weight. Peptides (<3 kDa) were screened and subsequently identified using LC-MS/MS after the evaluation of α-glucosidase inhibition across various fractions. Three novel potential bioactive peptides RWPFFAFM (1101.32 Da), AAGRLPGY (803.91 Da), and VVRDFHNA (957.04 Da) with the lowest average docking energy were screened for molecular dynamics simulation to examine their binding stability with enzymes in a 37 °C simulated human environment. Finally, they were prepared by solid phase synthesis for in vitro verification. The former two peptides exhibited better IC50 values (1.299 mM and 1.319 mM, respectively). These results suggest that the α-glucosidase inhibitory peptides from mulberry leaf protein are potential functional foods or drugs for diabetes treatment, but further in vivo studies are needed to identify the bioavailability and toxicity.

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
Proteases (proteinases or peptidases) are a class of hydrolases that cleave peptide chains in proteins. Endopeptidases are a type of protease that hydrolyze the internal peptide bonds of proteins, forming shorter peptides; exopeptidases hydrolyze the terminal peptide bonds from the C-terminal or N-terminal, forming free amino acids. Microbial proteases are a popular instrument in many industrial applications. In this review, the classification, detection, identification, and sources of microbial proteases are systematically introduced, as well as their applications in food, detergents, waste treatment, and biotechnology processes in the industry fields. In addition, recent studies on techniques used to express heterologous microbial proteases are summarized to describe the process of studying proteases. Finally, future developmental trends for microbial proteases are discussed.

Abstract
Entomophagy is a sustainable alternative source of proteins for human nutrition. Acheta domesticus is one of the three insect species that complies with the European Union Regulation on novel foods, but to date, there are no reports on their potential bioactive peptides. In this study, an in silico approach was applied to simulate the gastrointestinal (GI) digestion of six A. domesticus proteins and identify new peptides with potential anti-hypertensive and/or anti-diabetic properties, resulting from their capability to inhibit the somatic Angiotensin-I converting enzyme (sACE) and/or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4), respectively. A molecular docking protocol was applied to evaluate the binding interactions between the 43 peptides ranked with high probability of being bioactive and three drug targets: DPP-4 and two catalytic domains (N- and C-) of sACE. Five peptides (AVQPCF, CAIAW, IIIGW, DATW and QIVW) showed high docking scores for both enzymes, suggesting their potential to inhibit the DPP-4 and both catalytic domains of sACE, thus possessing multifunctional bioactive properties. Two peptides (PIVCF and DVW) showed higher docking scores for the N-domain of sACE, indicating a potential action as selective inhibitors and consequently with anti-cardiac and pulmonary fibrosis bioactivities. This is the first study identifying peptides originated from the simulated GI digestion of A. domesticus with potential activities against hypertension, diabetes, cardiac and pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
The shiitake mushroom is the most commonly cultivated edible mushroom in the world, and is rich in protein. This study aims to obtain the peptides with α-glucosidase inhibition activity from shiitake mushroom protein hydrolysate. The conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis of shiitake mushroom protein were optimized by response surface test. The results showed that the optimal conditions were as follows: the E/S was 3390 U/g, the solid-liquid ratio was 1:20, the hydrolysis temperature and time were 46 °C and 3.4 h, respectively, and the pH was 7. The active peptides were separated by gel filtration and identified by LC-MS/MS analysis and virtual screening. The results indicated that fourteen peptides were identified by LC-MS/MS. Among them, four new peptides (EGEPKLP, KDDLRSP, TPELKL, and LDYGKL) with the higher docking score were selected and chemically synthesized to verify their inhibition activity. The IC50 values of EGEPKLP, KDDLRSP, TPELKL, and LDYGKL for α-glucosidase inhibition activity ranged from 452 ± 36 μmol/L to 696 ± 39 μmol/L. The molecular docking results showed that the hydrogen bond and arene-cation bond were the two major interactions between four peptides and 2QMJ. The hydrogen bonds were crucial to the inhibition activity of α-glucosidase. The results indicate the potential of using the peptides from shiitake mushroom protein as functional food with α-glucosidase inhibition activity.

Abstract
The production of food and feed to meet the needs of the growing world's population will soon become a serious challenge. In search for sustainable solutions, entomophagy is being proposed as an alternative source of proteins, with economic and environmental advantages when compared to meat. Edible insects are not only a valuable source of important nutrients, but their gastrointestinal digestion also originates small peptides with important bioactive properties. The present work intends to provide an exhaustive systematic review on research articles reporting bioactive peptides identified from edible insects, as demonstrated by in silico, in vitro, and/or in vivo assays. A total of 36 studies were identified following the PRISMA methodology, gathering 211 potentially bioactive peptides with antioxidant, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antiobesity, anti-inflammatory, hypocholesterolemia, antimicrobial, anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), antithrombotic, and immunomodulatory properties, originated from the hydrolysates of 12 different insect species. From these candidates, the bioactive properties of 62 peptides were characterized in vitro and 3 peptides were validated in vivo. Data establishing the scientific basis of the health benefits associated with the consumption of edible insects can be a valuable contribution to overcoming the cultural issues that hinder the introduction of insects in the Western diet.

Abstract
Entomotherapy, the use of insects for medicinal purposes, has been practised for centuries in many countries around the world. More than 2100 edible insect species are eaten by humans, but little is known about the possibility of using these insects as a promising alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals for treating diseases. This review offers a fundamental understanding of the therapeutic applications of insects and how they might be used in medicine. In this review, 235 insect species from 15 orders are reported to be used as medicine. Hymenoptera contains the largest medicinal insect species, followed by Coleoptera, Orthoptera, Lepidoptera, and Blattodea. Scientists have examined and validated the potential uses of insects along with their products and by-products in treating various diseases, and records show that they are primarily used to treat digestive and skin disorders. Insects are known to be rich sources of bioactive compounds, explaining their therapeutic features such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, and so on. Challenges associated with the consumption of insects (entomophagy) and their therapeutic uses include regulation barriers and consumer acceptance. Moreover, the overexploitation of medicinal insects in their natural habitat has led to a population crisis, thus necessitating the investigation and development of their mass-rearing procedure. Lastly, this review suggests potential directions for developing insects used in medicine and offers advice for scientists interested in entomotherapy. In future, entomotherapy may become a sustainable and cost-effective solution for treating various ailments and has the potential to revolutionize modern medicine.

Food Sci Nutr 2023; 11:1257-1271.

Abstract
New mixed Alcalase-hydrolysates were developed using corn gluten meal (CP) and soy protein (SP) hydrolysates, namely CPH, SPH, SPH30:CPH70, SPH70:CPH30, and SPH50:CPH50. Amino acid profile, surface hydrophobicity (H 0), molecular weight (MW) distribution, antioxidant activity, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), α-amylase, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, and functional characteristics of hydrolysates were determined. Hydrolysis changed the amount of hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acid composition and significantly increased the H 0 values of hydrolysates, especially for CPH. The DPPH radical scavenging activity (RSA) was higher for CPH, SPH30:CPH70, and SPH50:CPH50 than SPH and SPH70:CPH30. Moreover, SPH, SPH70:CPH30, and SPH50:CPH50 showed lower MW than CPH, and this correlated with the higher hydrophilicity, and ABTS and hydroxyl RSA values obtained for SPH and the mixed hydrolysates with predominantly SPH. SPH70:CPH30 exhibited higher ACE, α-glucosidase, and α-amylase inhibitory activities among all samples due to its specific peptides with high capacity to interact with amino acid residues located at the enzyme active site and also low binding energy. At 15% degree of hydrolysis, both SPH and CPH showed enhanced solubility at pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0, emulsifying activity, and foaming capacity. Taken together, SPH70:CPH30 displayed strong antioxidant, antihypertensive, and antidiabetic attributes, emulsifying activity and stability indexes, and foaming capacity and foaming stability, making it a promising multifunctional ingredient for the development of functional food products.

Identification and Molecular Binding Mechanism of Novel α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Peptides from Hot-Pressed Peanut Meal Protein Hydrolysates. Foods 2023; 12:foods12030663.

Abstract
Hot-pressed peanut meal protein hydrolysates are rich in Arg residue, but there is a lack of research on their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. In this study, different proteases were used to produce hot-pressed peanut meal protein hydrolysates (PMHs) to evaluate the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. All PMHs showed good α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with the best inhibition effect coming from the dual enzyme system of Alcalase and Neutrase with an IC50 of 5.63 ± 0.19 mg/mL. The fractions with the highest inhibition effect were separated and purified using ultrafiltration and cation exchange chromatography. Four novel α-glucosidase inhibitory peptides (FYNPAAGR, PGVLPVAS, FFVPPSQQ, and FSYNPQAG) were identified by nano-HPLC-MS/MS and molecular docking. Molecular docking showed that peptides could occupy the active pocket of α-glucosidase through hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, salt bridges, and π-stacking, thus preventing the formation of complexes between α-glucosidase and the substrate. In addition, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of PMHs was stable against hot, pH treatment and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The study demonstrated that PMHs might be used as a natural anti-diabetic material with the potential to inhibit α-glucosidase.
