Objective: This study explores the sustainable valorization of by-products from tuna fish based on in silico approach. Methods: In silico approaches (BIOPEP database, PeptideRanker database, peptide calculator [PepCalc] database, and toxin prediction [ToxinPred] database) were employed to evaluate the potential of collagens from tuna as a potential source of bioactive peptides. Furthermore, primary structure, biological potential, physicochemical, sensory, and toxicity characteristics of the theoretically released angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor collagen peptides were predicted. Results: Tuna collagen was selected as a potential precursor of bioactive peptides based on in silico analysis. Most notable among these are ACE inhibitory peptides. First, the potential of tuna collagen for the releasing bioactive peptides was evaluated by determining the frequency of occurrence of fragments with a given activity. Through the BIOPEP database analysis, there are many bioactive peptides in tuna collagen sequences. Then, an in silico proteolysis using selected enzymes (papain and pepsin) to obtained ACE inhibitory peptides was investigated and then analyzed using PeptideRanker and PepCalc. Cytotoxicity analysis using the online toxic prediction tool ToxinPred revealed that all in silico proteolysis-derived ACE inhibitory peptides are non-cytotoxic. Conclusions: Overall, the present study highlights that the tuna collagens could be a promising precursor of bioactive peptides that have an antihypertensive effect (ACE inhibitory activities) for developing functional food or nutraceutical products.

Hypertension is well known as one of the major risk for cardiovascular diseases which annually affect millions of people. The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) plays a key role in blood pressure regulation process. Indeed, hypertension treatment by synthetic ACE inhibitors (e.g. captopril, lisinopril and ramipril) is effective; however, their use can cause serious side effects, such as hypotension, cough, reduced renal function and angioedema. Thus, research was focused on natural ACE inhibitory peptides sources such as foodstuffs and also, more recently, edible insects. In the last decades, ACE inhibitory activity has been detected in protein hydrolysates from insect species belonging to the orders of Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera and also Orthoptera. Further investigations led to identify specific ACE inhibitory peptides from the silkworm Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae), the yellow mealworm Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and also from the weaver ant Oecophylla smaragdina (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Even if ACE inhibitory activity of these bioactive peptides has been in vitro assayed and is comparable to those of some bioactive peptides derived from other animal protein sources, the in vivo effectiveness of most of these bioactive peptides still needs to be confirmed. The aim of this review is to present an outline of the currently available data on the potential use of insects for hypertension treatment with a focus on the ACE inhibitory peptides identified in these invertebrates to date.

In order to rapidly and efficiently excavate antihypertensive ingredients in Todarodes pacificus, its myosin heavy chain was hydrolyzed in silico and the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides were predicted using integrated bioinformatics tools. The results showed the degree of hydrolysis (DH) theoretically achieved 56.8% when digested with papain, ficin, and prolyl endopeptidase (PREP), producing 126 ACE inhibitory peptides. By predicting the toxicity, allergenicity, gastrointestinal stability, and intestinal epithelial permeability, 30 peptides were finally screened, of which 21 had been reported and 9 were new. Moreover, the newly discovered peptides were synthesized to evaluate their in vitro ACE inhibition, showing Ile-Ile-Tyr and Asn-Pro-Pro-Lys had strong effects with a pIC50 of 4.58 and 4.41, respectively. Further, their interaction mechanisms and bonding configurations with ACE were explored by molecular simulation. The preferred conformation of Ile-Ile-Tyr and Asn-Pro-Pro-Lys located in ACE were successfully predicted using the appropriate docking parameters. The molecular dynamics (MD) result indicated that they bound tightly to the active site of ACE by means of coordination with Zn(II) and hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction with the residues in the pockets of S1 and S2, resulting in stable complexes. In summary, this work proposed a strategy for screening and identifying antihypertensive peptides from Todarodes pacificus.

Susu kambing memiliki komponen protein salah satunya protein β dan secara umum terjadi polimorfisme pada level protein. Perubahan urutan asam amino akibat polimorfisme memungkinkan adanya potensi dihasilkannya peptida bioaktif penghambat enzim pengubah angiotensin (ACEi). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyaring peptida bioaktif yang berpotensi sebagai ACEi dari kasein β kambing beserta polimorfismenya. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan teknik in silico terhadap sekuen kasein β kambing serta struktur tiga dimensi human testicular ACE. Langkah yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini meliputi simulasi pemotongan peptida dengan enzim pencernaan (pepsin, tripsin dan kimotripsin), peninjauan karakteristik peptida lalu simulasi docking ligan-reseptor. Tampilan parameter Lipinski’s Rule of Five (Ro5), bioaktivitas dan energi afinitas dipertimbangkan untuk memilih peptida bioaktif. Hasil yang didapat menunjukkan bahwa ditemukan peptida bioaktif yakni INK (Ile-Asp-Lys) yang memiliki kemampuan hampir setara dengan lisinopril (afinitas energi -8,2kkal/mol vs. -8,3kkal/mol). Peptida INK dapat ditemukan dari hasil hidrolisis dari alel A, C, D dan E, sehingga polimorfisme tidak menyebabkan perbedaan produksi peptida bioaktif. Kesimpulan yang dapat diambil yakni kasein β susu kambing jika dicerna dengan enzim pencernaan dapat menghasilkan peptida bioaktif ACEi yakni INK.Identification of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-inhibitor (ACEi) Bioactive Peptide from Goat Milk β-Casein with It's Polymorphism by In Silico TechniqueAbstractPolymorphism eventually may be occurred at the protein level. Changes in the amino acid sequence due to polymorphism may exhibit a potential action to generate of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) bioactive peptide. This study is aimed to assess bioactive peptides that have a great potent value as ACEi from goat β casein along with its polymorphism. The research was done by in silico technique on goat β-casein sequence and three-dimensional structure human testicular ACE. Peptide-cutting simulations with digestive enzymes (pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin), peptide properties review, then ligand-receptor docking simulations was applied in this research. Appearance of Lipinski's Rule of Five (Ro5), bioactivity and affinity energy were considered for selecting bioactive peptides. The results show that bioactive peptide found as INK (Ile-Asp-Lys) which had similar ability as lisinopril (energy affinity –8.2kcal/mol vs. –8.3kcal/mol). The INK peptides could be found from the hydrolysis resulted in alleles A, C, D and E, therefore polymorphism did not affect the differences of production of bioactive peptides. A conclusion, processed goat milk β casein with digestive enzymes could produce ACEi of INK as bioactive peptide.
