Molecular characterization of a novel serine proteinase from Trichinella spiralis and its participation in larval invasion of gut epithelium. PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2023; 17:e0011629. [PMID: 37695792 PMCID: PMC10513378 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0011629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A novel serine proteinase of Trichinells spiralis (TsSPc) has been identified in the excretion/secretion (ES) antigens, but its role in larval invasion is unclear. The aim of this study was to clone and express TsSPc, identify its biological and biochemical characteristics, and investigate its role on larval invasion of gut epithelium during T. spiralis infection. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS TsSPc has a functional domain of serine proteinase, and its tertiary structure consists of three amino acid residues (His88, Asp139 and Ser229) forming a pocket like functional domain. Recombinant TsSPc (rTsSPc) was expressed and purified. The rTsSPc has good immunogenicity. On Western blot analysis, rTsSPc was recognized by infection serum and anti-rTsSPc serum, natural TsSPc in crude and ES antigens was identified by anti-rTsSPc serum. The results of qPCR, Western blot and indirect immunofluorescence test (IIFT) showed that TsSPc was expressed at diverse stage worms, and mainly localized at cuticle, stichosome and intrauterine embryos of this nematode. The rTsSPc had enzymatic activity of native serine protease, which hydrolyzed the substrate BAEE, casein and collagen I. After site directed mutation of enzymatic active sites of TsSPc, its antigenicity did not change but the enzyme activity was fully lost. rTsSPc specifically bound to intestinal epithelium cells (IECs) and the binding sites were mainly localized in cell membrane and cytoplasm. rTsSPc accelerated larval invasion of IECs, whereas anti-rTsSPc antibodies and TsSPc-specific dsRNA obviously hindered larval invasion. CONCLUSIONS TsSPc was a surface and secretory proteinase of the parasite, participated in larval invasion of gut epithelium, and may be considered as a candidate vaccine target molecule against Trichinella intrusion and infection.

Abstract
In this study, bovine sodium caseinate (NaCas) was hydrolyzed with four proteases, alcalase, savinase, subtilisin A, and flavourzyme. In addition to the structural changes occurred through the enzymatic hydrolysis, the solubility, oil binding capacity, zeta potential, emulsification properties, and in vitro antioxidant capacity, anti-carcinogenic and antidiabetic properties of hydrolysates were determined. FTIR combined with hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) made in Amide I region enable to classification of the samples based on the changes of the secondary structure depending on the enzyme type and degree of fragmentation. Technological properties of NaCas were enhanced through the enzymatic hydrolysis, and those were more prominent in serine-type enzymes, regardless of the enzyme type, all hydrolysates showed high antioxidant capacities. All hydrolysates, specifically those produced by savinase and alcalase, reduced the viability of the carcinogenic Caco-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner and showed a very low level of cytotoxicity against healthy HEK-293 cells. The hydrolysis treatment made a significant contribution to the antidiabetic activity of NaCas. Particularly alcalase and savinase hydrolysates suppressed the activity of α- amylase and α- glucosidase. Therefore, the generated milk protein hydrolysates could be used in functional food developments for specific dietary purposes.

Abstract
A cysteine peptidase was previously identified from germinated Moringa oleifera seeds, but its milk-clotting properties on bovine caseins was still unclear. In this study, this novel cysteine peptidase (MoCP) showed preferential activity on κ-casein (κ-CN), with greater hydrolytic activity compared with calf rennet, whereas weak hydrolysis of α-casein and β-casein made MoCP suitable for application in cheesemaking and may yield various functional peptides. All 3 evaluated caseins were hydrolyzed to form relatively stable peptide bands within 3 h of proteolysis with MoCP. Cleavage sites were determined by gel electrophoresis, liquid chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry, and peptide sequencing, which revealed that cleavage of κ-CN by MoCP occurred at residue Ile129-Pro130 and generated a 14,895.37-Da peptide. The flocculation reaction between MoCP and κ-CN determined by 3-dimensional microscopy with super-depth of field revealed that the initial 30 min of reaction were key for milk coagulation, which may affect curd yield. Overall, the findings presented herein suggest that the cysteine peptidase from germinated M. oleifera seeds can be considered a promising plant-derived rennet alternative for use in cheese manufacture.

Abstract
In recent years, many attempts have been made to find new plant proteases to make artisan cheeses. The global increase in cheese consumption, together with a lower supply and increasing cost of calf rennet, religious factors (Islam and Judaism) and food choices (vegetarianism) have led to the search for suitable rennet substitutes for milk clotting. This study describes the milk-clotting and hydrolytic activities of an aspartic protease from Salpichroa origanifolia fruits (SoAP) on individual caseins to explore its potential use as an alternative to animal rennet. The milk-clotting index obtained for SoAP was 8.4 times lower than that obtained for chymosin. SoAP showed a higher degree of hydrolysis on α-casein than on the other fractions under the proposed conditions. RP-HPLC, mass spectrometry analyses and sequencing of the hydrolysates allowed identifying five peptides from α-casein, one peptide from β-casein, and three peptides from k-casein. In silico analysis showed that the peptides identified may display a wide variety of potential biological activities. These results demonstrate the possibility of using SoAP for the manufacture of new types or artisan cheeses, with the simultaneous added value of the potential health-promoting benefits of the bioactive peptides generated during the hydrolysis.

Abstract
This study is a brief report on the proteolytic activity of curly kale leaf extract against casein. Casein degradation products and an in silico analysis of the biological activity of the peptides obtained was performed. The efficiency of casein hydrolysis by curly kale extract was determined using SDS-PAGE and by peptide concentration determination. The pattern of the enzymatic activity was determined by MALDI-TOF MS analysis. The results showed that α- and β-casein were more resistant to curly kale extract hydrolysis, whereas κ-casein was absent in the protein profile after 8 h of proteolysis, and all casein fractions were completely hydrolyzed after 24 h of incubation. Based on sequence analysis, seven peptides were identified, with molecular mass in the range of 1151-3024 Da. All the peptides were products of β-casein hydrolysis. The identified amino acid sequences were analyzed in BIOPEP, MBPDB, and FeptideDB databases in order to detect the potential activities of the peptides. In silico analysis suggests that the β-casein-derived peptides possess sequences of peptides with ACE inhibitory, antioxidant, dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitory, antithrombotic, immunomodulatory, and antiamnesic bioactivity. Our study was first to evaluate the possibility of applying curly kale leaf extract to generate biopeptides through β-casein hydrolysis.

Abstract
A novel aspartic-type endopeptidase was previously obtained from Moringa oleifera seeds; however, its specific milk-clotting properties have remained unclear. Here, we used various biophysical and molecular simulation approaches for characterizing the structure and function of the aspartic-type endopeptidase. The endopeptidase was preferentially active toward κ-casein (CN) and hydrolyzed it more than calf rennet; however, its ability to hydrolyze α-CN and β-CN was weaker than that of calf rennet. The endopeptidase cleaved κ-CN at Gln135-Asp136 and generated a 15 588.18 Da peptide with 135 amino acids. We further simulated the docking complex of the endopeptidase and κ-CN and found out that they possibly combined with each other via hydrogen bonds. The flocculation reaction between the endopeptidase and κ-CN indicated that milk coagulation occurred within 60 min. Overall, our observations suggest that the aspartic-type endopeptidase can be a potential rennet alternative for cheese making.

Abstract
Enzymes currently used in cheesemaking have various drawbacks, and there is a continual need to find new coagulants. This study describes the extraction and biochemical characterization of two proteases from the red alga Gracilaria edulis. The proteases were extracted with phosphate buffer and partially purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation and dialysis. The enzymes exhibited optimum caseinolytic activity at 60 °C and a pH range of 6-8. They showed a high ratio of milk-clotting over caseinolytic activity, indicating they had an excellent milk-clotting ability. The proteases were confirmed to be serine protease and metalloprotease with molecular weight (MW) of 44 and 108 kDa. They exhibited high hydrolytic activity on κ-caseins, cleaving κ-casein at four main sites, one of which being the same as that of calf rennet, which is the first reported for an algal protease. The findings demonstrated that the proteases could potentially be used as a milk coagulant in cheesemaking.

Abstract
Casein, a milk protein that self-assembles to form micelles in aqueous solution, can bind to a wide range of drugs (hydrophilic and hydrophobic). Herein, a low cost and facile method was reported to prepare casein nanoparticles loaded with an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX). The particles were fabricated by adding an excess of Ca2+ ions which brings the soluble casein present in the solution into the micellar framework to form dense nanoparticles. The binding between the drug and the macromolecule was confirmed using fluorescence studies. Circular Dichroism (CD) shows that upon addition of excess Ca2+ the protein chains rearrange. The nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The release at pH 1 was higher than the physiological pH making this formulation potent for delivering the drug to the stomach via the oral route. The DOX attached with casein showed improved efficacy, i.e., better cytotoxicity against human pancreatic carcinoma cell line, PANC 1 cells as compared to the free drug of the same concentration, owing to higher cell uptake of the macromolecule.
