Identification and molecular mechanism of action of antibacterial peptides from Flavourzyme-hydrolyzed yak casein against Staphylococcus aureus.
Journal of dairy science(2023)
摘要
Antibacterial peptides can be released from yak milk casein. To date, the amino acid sequences and mechanism of action of yak casein-derived antibacterial peptides remain unknown. The current study identified antibacterial peptides from yak casein and their molecular mechanism of action. Our results showed that yak α-casein, β-casein, and κ-casein could be effectively hydrolyzed by Flavourzyme (Solarbio Science and Technology Co. Ltd.), and the 2-h hydrolysate showed the highest antibacterial rate of 43.07 ± 2.59% against Staphylococcus aureus. The 1,000 to 3,000 Da fraction accounted for 23.61% of the 2-h hydrolysate and had an antibacterial rate of 62.64 ± 4.40%. Three novel peptides with antibacterial activity were identified from this fraction, and the β-casein-derived peptide APKHKEMPFPKYP showed the strongest antibacterial effect (half-maximal inhibitory concentration = 0.397 mg/mL). Molecular docking predicted that APKHKEMPFPKYP interacted with 2 important enzymes of Staph. aureus, dihydrofolate reductase and DNA gyrase, through hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding, salt bridge, and π-π stacking interactions. Our findings suggest that the yak casein-derived peptides may serve as a potential source of natural preservatives to inhibit Staph. aureus.
