Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to an anti-alcoholic and liver-protecting nonapeptide and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The history of human alcohol consumption is long. Since ancient times, as a special food, alcohol has played an important role in daily life and social interactions. However, excessive alcohol consumption can not only lead to alcohol dependence but also increase the risk of people getting sick, such as alcoholic fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis, digestive system diseases, etc.

[0003] Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is the rate-limiting enzyme for normal human metabolism of alcohol, catalyzing the dehydrogenation of alcohol to produce acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is further catalyzed by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) to produce acetic acid harmless to humans, and finally decomposed into water and carbon dioxide and excreted from the body. Activating the activity of ADH can not only accelerate alcohol metabolism and the excretion of alcohol and metabolic intermediates from the body but also reduce its adverse effects on the liver.

[0004] Bioactive peptides exhibit various biological activities due to different amino acid compositions and sequences, and are considered natural efficacy factors for regulating body metabolism and promoting human health. Bioactive peptides have the advantages of small molecular weight, easy absorption, wide sources of food proteins, and good safety, and are widely favored. Therefore, finding a safe and effective liver-protecting active peptide to prevent or treat ALD has become a research and attention hotspot. Hemp seeds contain 20% - 25% protein and are high-quality raw materials for preparing bioactive peptides. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bioactive peptide that activates the activity of ADH, thereby accelerating alcohol metabolism and the excretion of alcohol and metabolic intermediates from the body, and reducing its adverse effects on the liver. The present invention uses hemp seed protein as a raw material and prepares a nonapeptide with the ability to activate alcohol dehydrogenase by using bioenzymolysis technology, chromatography technology, bioinformatics, molecular docking, and polypeptide coupling technology. This nonapeptide has the ability to activate alcohol dehydrogenase and can be used for the development of anti-alcoholic and liver-protecting functional foods, and is applied in the fields of biopharmaceuticals and functional foods.

[0007] An anti-alcoholic and liver-protecting nonapeptide, the abbreviation of the nonapeptide is NNYNLPILR, the molecular weight is 1116.30, and the sequence is: Asn-Asn-Tyr-Asn-Leu-Pro-Ile-Leu-Arg.

[0008] A method for preparing the above-mentioned nine-peptide for relieving hangover and protecting the liver, the method comprising: selecting a high-molecular resin, connecting the hydroxyl group of Arg to the resin according to the characteristics of the amino acid sequence Asn-Asn-Tyr-Asn-Leu-Pro-Ile-Leu-Arg, then performing a condensation reaction between the amino group of Leu and the carboxyl group of Arg, after treatment, adding Ile, reacting the amino group of Ile with the carboxyl group of Leu, adding amino acids sequentially from right to left, and after adding the last Asn amino acid, removing the resin to obtain the target polypeptide.

[0009] Further, high performance liquid chromatography is used to purify the target polypeptide. The chromatographic column is NanoChromcoreTM120 C18 (4.6*250mm*5um), mobile phase A: 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in 100% water; mobile phase B: 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in 100% acetonitrile; within 20 min, the mobile phase B rises from 23% to 43%, the flow rate is 1.0 mL / min, the detection wavelength is 214 nm; quick-freeze with liquid nitrogen and freeze-dry to obtain the final product, and the required purity is above 98%.

[0010] Further, the vacuum degree of the freeze-drying is 50 Pa, the temperature is -80°C, and the time is 16 h.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows: The present invention uses hemp seed protein as a raw material, and through the combination of bioenzymolysis technology, bioinformatics and molecular docking technology, a nine-peptide with ethanol dehydrogenase activation activity is screened, and through solid-phase synthesis technology for polypeptide synthesis and in vitro activity determination, a polypeptide with hemp seed protein source having ethanol dehydrogenase activation activity is obtained, which can be used for the development of drugs for relieving hangover and protecting the liver.

[0021] Weigh 10 g of hemp seed protein powder, add 50 mL of deionized water, fully dissolve and stir evenly, adjust the pH of the enzymatic hydrolysis solution to 6.2, add 3.36% neutral protease, carry out enzymatic hydrolysis at 44 °C for 2.75 h, inactivate the enzyme at 95 °C for 15 min after enzymatic hydrolysis, centrifuge at 10000 r / min at 4 °C for 15 min, and take the supernatant (polypeptide solution) for vacuum freeze-drying for later use.

[0022] 2. Isolation and purification of hemp seed liver-protecting peptide

[0023] Put anhydrous ethanol in a 4 °C refrigerator overnight, and add it drop by drop to the prepared 40 mg / mL hemp seed peptide solution until the ethanol volume fraction reaches 20%. Then let the solution stand at 4 °C for 1 h, and centrifuge at 7500 g for 10 min. The precipitate part is denoted as E20. Add the supernatant part to cold anhydrous ethanol until the ethanol volume fraction reaches 40%, let it stand at 4 °C for 1 h, and the precipitate part obtained by centrifugation is denoted as E40. Add the supernatant part to cold anhydrous ethanol until the ethanol volume fraction reaches 60%, let it stand at 4 °C for 1 h, and the precipitate part obtained by centrifugation is denoted as E60, and the supernatant is denoted as SPT. All components are concentrated under reduced pressure at 55 °C to remove ethanol, and then freeze-dried, and the activation rate of alcohol dehydrogenase of each component is measured to screen the strongest active component ( Figure 1 ).

[0024] The activation rate of alcohol dehydrogenase was measured by the Warburg-Hoch method. First, 1.5 mL (0.1 M, pH 8.8) of sodium pyrophosphate buffer solution, 1.0 mL of 0.01 M NAD +Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (oxidized form)、0.5 mL (11.5%, v / v) ethanol and 0.1 mL of hydrolyzed hemp protein were mixed at 25 °C and reacted for 5 min. Then, 0.1 mL of 0.25 U / mL ADH was added to the reaction system. The absorbance was immediately measured at 340 nm for 10 min. The initial linear part of the reaction was plotted, and the slope was denoted as Ka. For the control group, 0.2 mL of distilled water was used instead of the sample, and the slope was denoted as Kc, which was calculated according to formula (1).

[0026] 3. Virtual Screening and Molecular Docking of Hemp Seed Liver-Protecting Peptide Sequences

[0027] For the most active component SPT obtained by separation and purification, LC-MS / MS mass spectrometry was used to analyze and identify the polypeptide sequence. Dock 6.9 was used for virtual screening of the obtained peptide sequence; Peptide ranker (http: / / distilldeep.ucd.ie / PeptideRanker / ) was used to score the potential biological activity of the alternative polypeptides; GRAVYCALCULATOR (https: / / www.gravy-calculator.de / ) was used to calculate the hydrophobicity; PepDraw (https: / / www.pepdraw.com / ) was used to calculate the relative molecular mass, net charge, and isoelectric point; the toxicity was determined by ToxinPred (https: / / webs.iiitd.edu.in / raghava / toxinpred / index.html). According to the docking scores of the peptide segments, the peptide segment NNYNLPILR with good docking effect with alcohol dehydrogenase was screened out, with a docking score of -19.5 kcal / mol, a molecular weight of 1116.30 Da, a polypeptide score of 0.621789, a hydrophilicity of -0.46, a net charge of 1, an isoelectric point of 9.1, and no toxicity.

According to the characteristics of the amino acid sequence Asn-Asn-Tyr-Asn-Leu-Pro-Ile-Leu-Arg, the hydroxyl group of Arg was connected to the resin, and then the amino group of Leu and the carboxyl group of Arg underwent a condensation reaction. After treatment, Ile was added, and the amino group of Ile reacted with the carboxyl group of Leu. Amino acids were added sequentially from right to left. After adding the last Asn amino acid, the resin was removed to obtain the target polypeptide.
