Title: | Caseinolytic Specificity of Cardosin, an Aspartic Protease from the Cardoon Cynara cardunculus L.: Action on Bovine αs- and β-Casein and Comparison with Chymosin | Authors: | Macedo, I. Queiroz Faro, Carlos J. Pires, Euclides M. |
Keywords: | αs-Casein; β-casein; Cardosin; Vegetal rennet; Specificity; Proteolysis; Bitter peptides | Issue Date: | 18-Jan-1996 | Publisher: | American Chemical Society | Citation: | Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. 44:1 (1996) 42-47 | Abstract: | The action of cardosin on bovine αs- and β-casein at 30 °C in 50 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.2) was studied. Peptides were isolated by reversed-phase HPLC on C18 columns and identified from their amino acid composition and N-terminal amino acid sequence. The relative susceptibility of peptide bonds cleaved was Phe23-Phe24 > Trp164-Tyr165 > Tyr166-Val167 > Tyr165-Tyr166 > Phe153-Tyr154 > Phe145-Tyr146 ≈ Leu149-Phe150 ≈ Leu156-Asp157 ≈ Ala163-Trp164 for αs1-casein and Leu192-Tyr193 > Leu191-Leu192 ≈ Leu165-Ser166 > Phe190-Leu191 ≥ Ala189-Phe190 ≈ Leu127-Thr128 for β-casein. In αs2-casein, cardosin cleaved the bonds Phe88-Tyr89 and Tyr95-Leu96. The enzyme shows a clear preference for bonds between hydrophobic, bulky amino acids, cleaving four consecutive peptide bonds in extremely bulky, hydrophobic regions of both αs1-CN (Ala163-Val167) and β-CN (Ala189-Tyr193), which was less attacked by chymosin in various experimental conditions. The active site cleft of cardosin accommodates sequences as bulky as Trp-Tyr-Tyr in different subsites (S1 to S‘2, S2 to S‘1, and probably S3 to S1). Several bitter peptides were identified in the digests. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/10481 | ISSN: | 0021-8561 | DOI: | 10.1021/jf9406929 | Rights: | openAccess |
