Identification, characterization, and insights into the mechanism of novel dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitory peptides from yak hemoglobin by in silico exploration, molecular docking, and in vitro assessment. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129191. [PMID: 38184042 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129191] [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: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/31/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides were screened and identified from yak hemoglobin for the first time by in silico analysis, molecular docking, and in vitro evaluation. Results showed that yak hemoglobin had a high potential to produce DPP-IV inhibitory peptides based on the sequence alignment and bioactive potential evaluation. Furthermore, "pancreatic elastase + stem bromelain" was the optimal combined-enzymatic strategy by simulated proteolysis. Additionally, 25 novel peptides were found from its simulated hydrolysate, among which 10 peptides had high binding affinities with DPP-IV by molecular docking. Most of these peptides were also in silico characterized with favorable physicochemical properties and biological potentials, including relatively low molecular weight, high hydrophobicity, several net charges, good water solubility, nontoxicity, acceptable sensory quality, and good human intestinal absorption. Finally, six novel DPP-IV inhibitory peptides were identified via in vitro assessment, among which EEKA (IC50 = 235.26 μM), DEV (IC50 = 339.45 μM), and HCDKL (IC50 = 632.93 μM) showed the strongest capacities. The hydrogen bonds and electrostatic attractions formed with core residues within the S2 pocket of DPP-IV could be mainly responsible for their inhibition performances. This work provided a time-saving method and broadened application for yak by-products development as sources of functional foods.

Zhang J, Li X, Zhao K, Li H, Liu J, Da S, Ciren D, Tang H. In vitro digestion and fermentation combined with microbiomics and metabolomics reveal the mechanism of superfine yak bone powder regulating lipid metabolism by altering human gut microbiota. Food Chem 2023; 410:135441. [PMID: 36652799 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.135441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
The effects of superfine yak bone powder (YBP) on human gut microbiota (HGM) were investigated by in vitro digestion and fermentation combined with microbiomics and metabolomics. Results showed that size reduction and protein structural degradation during digestion allowed superfine YBP to release more Ca2+ than CaCO3 powders with similar particle size. Moreover, the indigestible YBP further influenced HGM and was associated with increased occurrence of beneficial bacteria such as Megasphaera spp., Megamonas spp., Acidaminococcus spp., and Prevotella spp. The altered HGM was associated with greater production of short-chain fatty acids with 4-6 carbon atoms. Furthermore, the indigestible YBP was associated with up-regulation of many lipid-related metabolites, including taurine, secondary bile acids, saturated long-chain fatty acids, and ω-3/ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which modulated favorably lipid metabolic pathways. These findings implied the potential activity of superfine YBP as a food fortifier in favorably altering HGM community structure and regulating lipid metabolism.

The Bioaccessibility of Yak Bone Collagen Hydrolysates: Focus on Analyzing the Variation Regular of Peptides and Free Amino Acids. Foods 2023; 12:foods12051003. [PMID: 36900520 PMCID: PMC10001269 DOI: 10.3390/foods12051003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The lack of a bioaccessibility test for yak bone collagen hydrolysates (YBCH) limits their development as functional foods. In this study, simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SD) and absorption (SA) models were utilized to evaluate the bioaccessibility of YBCH for the first time. The variation in peptides and free amino acids was primarily characterized. There was no significant alteration in the concentration of peptides during the SD. The transport rate of peptides through the Caco-2 cell monolayers was 22.14 ± 1.58%. Finally, a total of 440 peptides were identified, more than 75% of them with lengths ranging from 7 to 15. The peptide identification indicated that about 77% of the peptides in the beginning sample still existed after the SD, and about 76% of the peptides in the digested YBCH could be observed after the SA. These results suggested that most peptides in the YBCH resist gastrointestinal digestion and absorption. After the in silico prediction, seven typical bioavailable bioactive peptides were screened out and they exhibited multi-type bioactivities in vitro. This is the first study to characterize the changes in peptides and amino acids in the YBCH during gastrointestinal digestion and absorption, and provides a foundation for analyzing the mechanism of YBCH's bioactivities.

Front Nutr 2022; 9:993744. [PMID: 36313093 PMCID: PMC9605770 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.993744] [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: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide ser-ala-ser-val-ile-pro-val-ser-ala-val-arg-ala (SASVIPVSAVRA) was purified and identified from yak bone by Electrospray Ionization-Time of Flight-Mass Spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS). Results in vitro showed that the peptide exhibited strong ACE inhibition activities with an IC50 of 54.22 μM. Molecular docking results showed the binding between the peptide SASVIPVSAVRA and ACE mainly driven by van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds and metal receptor. Interestingly, the ACE inhibition activities of the peptide increased about 19% after digestion, but none of its metabolites showed stronger activity than it. The in vivo experiment showed that the antihypertensive effect of peptide SASVIPVSAVRA at dose of 30 mg/kg is nearly equal to Captopril at dose of 10 mg/kg to spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). The antihypertensive effect mechanism of SASVIPVSAVRA should be further studied through plasma metabolomics and bioanalysis. Structure analysis of amino acids and peptides produced during digestion may help better understand the antihypertensive effect of peptides.
