Zhang J, Wang Q, Yu H, Lin L, Zhang Z, Song Y. Metagenomic insights into protein degradation mechanisms in natural fermentation of cassava leaves. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 396:130433. [PMID: 38342281 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) leaves, the primary by-product of cassava processing, constitute a significant protein source, accounting for 18 to 38 percent on a dry weight basis. Despite their nutritional value, a substantial portion of these leaves is often discarded post-harvest, resulting in notable resource waste. This study employs metagenomic technology to investigate the protein degradation mechanism in cassava leaves, aiming to provide a technical reference for value-added of this by-product. Following a 36-hour period of natural fermentation, the protein degradation rate reached 58%, a phenomenon intricately linked to both the microbial community structure and its functional properties. Notably, Lactococcus and Enterobacter, recognized for their abundant protease activity, were predominant. Metagenomically assembled genomes further revealed Lactococcus's substantial role in producing flavors and active compounds, including amino acids and peptides. This study offers novel perspectives to the foodization and high-value utilization of cassava by-products, emphasizing the sustainable exploitation of biomass resources.

Abstract
Fermentation techniques may induce alterations in fish allergen immunoreactivity. In this study, the influence of fermentation with three different strains of Lactobacillus helveticus (Lh187926, Lh191404, and Lh187926) on the immunoreactivity of Atlantic cod allergens was investigated via several methods. Gradually reduced protein composition and band intensity due to the fermentation by strain Lh191404 were found in SDS-PAGE analysis, and decreased immunoreactivity of fish allergens was confirmed by Western blotting and ELISA analysis due to the fermentation of strain Lh191404. Additionally, results from nLC-MS/MS and immunoinformatics tools analysis demonstrated that the protein polypeptide and allergen composition of Atlantic cod showed evident alterations after fermentation, with the epitopes of the main fish allergens being heavily exposed and destroyed. These results indicated that the fermentation of L. helveticus Lh191404 could destroy the structure and linear epitopes of the allergens from Atlantic cod and may have considerable potential in mitigating the allergenicity of fish.

Identification and virtual screening of novel anti-inflammatory peptides from broccoli fermented by Lactobacillus strains. Front Nutr 2023; 9:1118900. [PMID: 36712498 PMCID: PMC9875028 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.1118900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Lactobacillus strains fermentation of broccoli as a good source of bioactive peptides has not been fully elucidated. In this work, the peptide composition of broccoli fermented by L. plantarum A3 and L. rhamnosus ATCC7469 was analyzed by peptidomics to study the protein digestion patterns after fermentation by different strains. Results showed that water-soluble proteins such as rubisco were abundant sources of peptides, which triggered the sustained release of peptides as the main target of hydrolysis. In addition, 17 novel anti-inflammatory peptides were identified by virtual screening. Among them, SIWYGPDRP had the strongest ability to inhibit the release of NO from inflammatory cells at a concentration of 25 μM with an inhibition rate of 52.32 ± 1.48%. RFR and KASFAFAGL had the strongest inhibitory effects on the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6, respectively. At a concentration of 25 μM, the corresponding inhibition rates were 74.61 ± 1.68% and 29.84 ± 0.63%, respectively. Molecular docking results showed that 17 peptides formed hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). This study is conducive to the high-value utilization of broccoli and reduction of the antibiotic use.

Isolation of a Novel Anti-Diabetic α-Glucosidase Oligo-Peptide Inhibitor from Fermented Rice Bran. Foods 2023; 12:foods12010183. [PMID: 36613397 PMCID: PMC9818066 DOI: 10.3390/foods12010183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
At present, the incidence rate of diabetes is increasing gradually, and inhibiting α-glucosidase is one of the effective methods used to control blood sugar. This study identified new peptides from rice bran fermentation broth and evaluated their inhibitory activity and mechanism against α-glucosidase. Rice bran was fermented with Bacillus subtilis MK15 and the polypeptides of <3 kDa were isolated by ultrafiltration and chromatographic column, and were then subjected to LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry analysis. The results revealed that the oligopeptide GLLGY showed the greatest inhibitory activity in vitro. Docking studies with GLLGY on human α-glucosidase (PDB ID 5NN8) suggested a binding energy of −7.1 kcal/mol. GLLGY acts as a non-competitive inhibitor and forms five hydrogen bonds with Asp282, Ser523, Asp616, and His674 of α-glucosidase. Moreover, it retained its inhibitory activity even in a simulated digestion environment in vitro. The oligopeptide GLLGY could be developed into a potential anti-diabetic agent.
