Structural analysis of peptide fragments following the hydrolysis of bovine serum albumin by trypsin and chymotrypsin

Abstract: Peptide bond hydrolysis of bovine serum albumin (BSA) by chymotrypsin and trypsin was investigated by employing time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. As a fluorescent cross-linking reagent, N-(1-pyrenyl) maleimide (PM) was attached to BSA, through all free amine groups of arginine, lysine, and/or single free thiol (Cys34). Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy was used to monitor fluorescence decays analyzed by exponential series method to obtain the changes in lifetime distributions. After the exposure o… Show more

“…The effect of initial BSA (1, 0.5, and 0.1 mg/mL) and TRY (2, 1, 0.5, and 0.1 mg/mL) concentrations on the reaction products were followed by analyzing the reaction medium with SDS‐PAGE. Since BSA is a protein containing lysine (59) and arginine (23) residues, hydrolysis of BSA with TRY will generate peptides with either Lys or Arg as the end group. The hydrolysis products when TRY used in free form is illustrated in Figure (a).…”

“…In addition, the presence of d ‐amino acids may increase the resistance to proteolytic degradation of the peptide while that the susceptibility of peptides to treatment with chymotrypsin is possibly related to the presence of hydrophobic residues because this enzyme cuts the peptide bond on the carboxyl side of the hydrophobic amino acid generating fragments with the hydrophobic residue at the C‐terminal end (Fernández‐Oliva et al, 2012). The degradation products formed by chymotrypsin treatment exhibited a greater retention time than the whole peptide, possibly because the fragments usually form a cluster, which creates a more hydrophobic environment (Özyiǧit et al, 2016).…”

“…It may be due to a degradation product, suggesting that the peptide has low susceptibility to trypsin treatment (Figure 2b, left, blue and red). This signal probably is related to the appearance of some excimer (Özyiǧit et al, 2016) associated with peptide cleavage at arginine, which generates a more hydrophobic fragment that has a greater t R .…”

“…Time‐resolved fluorescence technology can more accurately distinguish the quenching mechanism between ligand and the protein . [ 43 ] Therefore, we measured the excited state lifetime of CAPE and protease to further determine the quenching mechanism of protease with CAPE. A fluorescence decay curve was fitted based on double exponential fitting, and the average life span of protease was calculated using the following formula: τgoodbreak=α1τ1goodbreak+α2τ2 where τ is the fluorescence lifetime of protease, τ1 and τ2 are decay times, and α1 α2 are pre‐exponential factors.…”
