Abstract
The aim of this study was to isolate and identify the main milk-clotting proteases from Prinsepia utilis Royle. Protein isolates obtained using precipitation with 20 %-50 % ammonium sulfate (AS) showed higher milk-clotting activity (MCA) at 154.34 + 0.35 SU. Two milk-clotting proteases, namely P191 and P1831, with molecular weight of 49.665 kDa and 68.737 kDa, respectively, were isolated and identified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Bioinformatic analysis showed that the two identified milk-clotting proteases were primarily involved in hydrolase activity and catabolic processes. Moreover, secondary structure analysis showed that P191 structurally consisted of 40.85 % of alpha-helices, 15.96 % of beta-strands, and 43.19 % of coiled coil motifs, whereas P1831 consisted of 70 % of alpha-helices, 7.5 % of beta-strands, and 22.5 % of coiled coil motifs. P191 and P1831 were shown to belong to the aspartic protease and metalloproteinase types, and exhibited stability within the pH range of 4-6 and good thermal stability at 30-80 °C. The addition of CaCl2 (<200 mg/L) increased the MCA of P191 and P1831, while the addition of NaCl (>3 mg/mL) inhibited their MCA. Moreover, P191 and P1831 preferably hydrolyzed kappa-casein, followed by alpha-casein, and to a lesser extent beta-casein. Additionally, cheese processed with the simultaneous use of the two proteases isolated in the present study exhibited good sensory properties, higher protein content, and denser microstructure compared with cheese processed using papaya rennet or calf rennet. These findings unveil the characteristics of two proteases isolated from P. utilis, their milk-clotting properties, and potential application in the cheese-making industry.

Abstract
Papain-like cysteine proteases are widespread and can be detected in all domains of life. They share structural and enzymatic properties with the group's namesake member, papain. They show a broad range of protein substrates and are involved in several biological processes. These proteases are widely exploited for food, pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetic biotechnological applications. However, some of them are known to cause allergic reactions. In this context, the objective of this review is to report an overview of some general properties of papain-like cysteine proteases and to highlight their contributions to allergy reactions observed in humans. For instance, the literature shows that their proteolytic activity can cause an increase in tissue permeability, which favours the crossing of allergens through the skin, intestinal and respiratory barriers. The observation that allergy to PLCPs is mostly detected for inhaled proteins is in line with the reports describing mite homologs, such as Der p 1 and Der f 1, as major allergens showing a frequent correlation between sensitisation and clinical allergic reactions. In contrast, the plant food homologs are often digested in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, they only rarely can cause allergic reactions in humans. Accordingly, they are reported mainly as a cause of occupational diseases.

Comparative Analysis of the Immune Response and the Clinical Allergic Reaction to Papain-like Cysteine Proteases from Fig, Kiwifruit, Papaya, Pineapple and Mites in an Italian Population. Foods 2023; 12:2852.

Abstract
Several plant papain-like cysteine proteases are exploited by the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and textile industries. However, some of these enzymes can cause allergic reactions. In this context, we investigated the frequency of sensitization and allergic reactions to some fruit and/or latex cysteine proteases, which are used as additives by the food industry to improve and modify the quality of their products. The FABER test was used to analyse the patients' sensitization towards five plants and, for comparison, two homologous mite cysteine proteases. In an Italian population of 341 allergic patients, 133 (39%) had IgE specific for at least one of the seven cysteine proteases under investigation. Most of the patients were IgE positive for Der p 1 and/or Der f 1 (96.38%) reported a clinical history suggestive of respiratory allergy to mites, whereas none of the subjects sensitized to the homologs from papaya, pineapple and fig reported allergy symptoms following ingestion of these foods. Only one patient referred symptoms from ingesting kiwifruit. Therefore, the obtained results showed that sensitization to the fruit enzymes was only rarely concomitant with allergic reactions. These observations, together with the literature reports, suggest that the allergy to plant papain-like cysteine proteases might mainly be an occupational disease.

Manufacture of Whey Protein Hydrolysates Using Plant Enzymes: Effect of Processing Conditions and Simulated Gastrointestinal Digestion on Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitory Activity. Foods 2022; 11:foods11162429. [PMID: 36010429 PMCID: PMC9407499 DOI: 10.3390/foods11162429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Hydrolysis of proteins leads to the release of bioactive peptides with positive impact on human health. Peptides exhibiting antihypertensive properties (i.e., inhibition of angiotensin-I-converting enzyme) are commonly found in whey protein hydrolysates made with enzymes of animal, plant or microbial origin. However, bioactive properties can be influenced by processing conditions and gastrointestinal digestion. In this study, we evaluated the impact of three plant enzymes (papain, bromelain and ficin) in the manufacture of whey protein hydrolysates with varying level of pH, enzyme-to-substrate ratio and time of hydrolysis, based on a central composite design, to determine the degree of hydrolysis and antihypertensive properties. Hydrolysates made on laboratory scales showed great variation in the type of enzyme used, their concentrations and the pH level of hydrolysis. However, low degrees of hydrolysis in papain and bromelain treatments were associated with increased antihypertensive properties, when compared to ficin. Simulated gastrointestinal digestion performed for selected hydrolysates showed an increase in antihypertensive properties of hydrolysates made with papain and bromelain, which was probably caused by further release of peptides. Several peptides with reported antihypertensive properties were found in all treatments. These results suggest plant enzymes used in this study can be suitable candidates to develop ingredients with bioactive properties.

Abstract
An updated review of emerging plant proteases with potential biotechnological application is presented. Plant proteases show comparable or even greater performance than animal or microbial proteases for by‐product valorization through hydrolysis for, for example, cheese whey, bird feathers, collagen, keratinous materials, gelatin, fish protein, and soy protein. Active biopeptides can be obtained as high added value products, which have shown numerous beneficial effects on human health. Plant proteases can also be used for wastewater treatment. The production of new plant proteases is encouraged for the following advantages: low cost of isolation using simple procedures, remarkable stability over a wide range of operating conditions (temperature, pH, salinity, and organic solvents), substantial affinity to a broad variety of substrates, and possibility of immobilization. Vegetable proteases have enormous application potential for the valorization of industrial waste and its conversion into products with high added value through low‐cost processes.
