Identification and Functional Mechanism of Novel Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Dipeptides from Xerocomus badius Cultured in Shrimp Processing Waste Medium

الملخص EN

ACE inhibitory dipeptides from Xerocomus badius fermented shrimp processing waste were isolated with ethanol, macroporous resin, chloroform, and Sephadex G-10 in sequence and identified by LC-MS/MS system coupled with electrospray ionization source.

Molecular docking was performed for exploring the mechanism of their inhibitions.

The results showed that the identified ACE inhibitory dipeptides were Cys-Cys and Cys-Arg with IC50 values of 4.37 ± 0.07 and 475.95 ± 0.11 μM, respectively.

The difference between ACE inhibitor potency of Cys-Cys and Cys-Arg could be explained by results of molecular docking.

Cys-Cys formed crucial coordination between carboxyl oxygen and Zn(II), hydrogen bonds with residues Ala354(O), Ala356(HN), and Tyr523(OH), and a bump with the residue His387(NE2) at the active site of ACE.

There was no coordination, except for 5 hydrogen bonds (at residues His353, Ala354, Glu384, Glu403, and Arg522) and a bump (Glu411) between Cys-Arg and active site of ACE.

These findings highlighted that Cys-Cys could be considered as a novel potent ACE inhibitor, and coordination between its carboxyl oxygen and Zn(II) played significant role in defining its ACE inhibitor potency.
