ABSTRACT Strains of Lactobacillus plantarum originally isolated from sausages were screened for proteinase and aminopeptidase activities toward synthetic substrates; on the basis of that screening,L. plantarum CRL 681 was selected for further assays on muscle proteins. The activities of whole cells, cell extracts (CE), and a combination of both on sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar protein extracts were determined by protein, peptide, and free-amino-acid analyses. Proteinase from whole cells initiated the hydrolysis of sarcoplasmic proteins. The addition of CE intensified the proteolysis. Whole cells generated hydrophilic peptides from both sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins. Other peptides of a hydrophobic nature resulted from the combination of whole cells and CE. The action of both enzymatic sources on myofibrillar proteins caused maximal increases in lysine, arginine, and leucine, while the action of those on sarcoplasmic proteins mainly released alanine. In general, pronounced hydrolysis of muscle proteins required enzyme activities from whole cells in addition to those supplied by CE.

Modification of a membrane surface is critical to help further functional protein binding on the membrane. Mussel inspired modification and metal chelating agent grafting on the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is proposed to increase the hydrophilicity, stability, and functionality of the membrane. This study carried out a four steps modification including polymerization of dopamine, grafting with poly (ethyleneimine) (PEI) and metal chelating agent and finally metal (ZnO) coupling. Characterization of the modified membrane was carried out using contact angle observation, permeate flux analysis, FT-IR spectrum and FESEM analysis. The results show a successful PDA and PEI deposition on PVDF membrane with significant improvement of the membrane hydrophilicity and wettability. Permeate flux analysis showed blockage on membrane surface due to the successful coating. Absorption peak increased slightly showing the deposition of PDA/PEI. Successful Zn2+ ion coupling can be seen clearly from the FESEM analysis

Summary 6-Pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin synthase is involved in the synthesis of pteridine eye pigments in Drosophila. The purple gene which was known to be one of the target loci of the suppressor mutation su(sj2 has been identified to encode the enzyme, and its cDNA has been cloned recently. The cDNA encoding the 19.3 kDa subunit of the 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin synthase was expressed as fusion proteins in E. coli. The recombinant protein was shown to be active and purified from the E. coli crude extract by metal-chelation chromatography. The fused metal-chelating oilgopeptide was removed by thrombin for further characterization. Apparent Km for the substrate dihydroneopterin triphosphate was determined to be 590 IlM, which was slightly higher than the value of the native enzyme. The isoelectric point of 6.4 was also different from the known value of 4.3 determined by the native enzyme. Heat stability and the stimulatory effect of reducing agents were similar to the native enzyme. The modification of cysteine residues in the recombinant enzyme, one of which is known to be conserved in human and rat enzymes, by iodoacetamide inhibited its activity by up to 80%.

Glycation greatly increased the anti-digestibility of myofibrillar proteins derived from grass carp, and affected the production of SCFAs and the microbial community structures inin vitrofecal fermentation.
