Protein digestibility, protease activity, and post-embryonic development of the velvetbean caterpillar (Anticarsia gemmatalis) exposed to the trypsin-inhibitor benzamidine

Protein digestibility, proteolytic activity, and post-embryonic development of Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were assessed in larvae reared on artificial diet containing 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75% (w/w) of the synthetic trypsin inhibitor benzamidine. Diet consumption was affected by the inhibitor when the insects were exposed to 0.50% benzamidine showing a 4-day delay and a 70%-higher peak of consumption. Larva weight gain was also affected by benzamidine and again the results of 0.50% benzamidine were unexpected due to the worst performance of the insects at this inhibitor concentration and not at 0.75% benzamidine. These patterns of consumption and weight gain were however consistent with the results of protein digestibility, which affects larvae mortality and adult emergence. The insect proteolytic activity was also affected by benzamidine, particularly at 0.50%. These results indicate that the insects are able to circumvent the potentially harmful effects of the inhibitor since at the highest concentration the negative impact is mitigated.

研究了温度和pH值对斜带髭鲷Hapalogenys nitens蛋白酶、淀粉酶活力的影响。结果表明,斜带髭鲷胃内pH值范围为4.9～5.4;肝胰脏pH值为5.8～6.2;肠道pH值为6.5～6.9。蛋白酶活性随温度的上升而增加,在40℃达最大,40℃以上酶活性随温度的上升而下降。在不同消化器官中,蛋白酶活性大小顺序为：胃〉前肠〉幽门盲囊〉后肠〉肝胰脏。在15～50℃范围内,斜带髭鲷消化道不同部位淀粉酶活性的最适温度均为35℃,淀粉酶活性由高到低顺序为：肝胰脏〉幽门盲囊〉前肠〉后肠〉胃。在pH值为2.2～7.6范围内,胃蛋白酶活性的最适pH值为2.8;在pH值为4.8～8.0范围内,其他消化器官蛋白酶的最适pH值均为7.2;在最适pH值下,各消化器官中的蛋白酶活性由高到低顺序为：前肠〉幽门盲囊〉后肠〉肝胰脏。在pH值为4.8～8.0范围内,胃淀粉酶活性的最适pH值为6.0,肠、肝胰脏与幽门盲囊淀粉酶的最适pH值均为6.8,活性由高到低顺序为：肝胰脏〉幽门盲囊〉前肠〉后肠〉胃。在最适温度和pH值下,蛋白酶活性由高到低顺序为：胃〉前肠〉幽门盲囊〉后肠〉肝胰脏;淀粉酶活性由高到低顺序为：肝胰脏〉幽门盲囊〉前肠〉后肠〉胃。     

牙鲆幼鱼消化道内蛋白酶活性及食糜蛋白的GFP示踪

用添加绿色荧光蛋白（GFP）饲料投喂牙鲆,研究了不同消化时间内食糜在牙鲆消化道中的分布情况,采用福林一酚法测定了不同时间胃、前肠、中肠和后肠各组织黏液蛋白酶活性。结果表明,牙鲆在摄食后消化道蛋白酶活性随着食糜在消化道内的分布而变化,食物的刺激引起消化腺体分泌蛋白酶。牙鲆摄食后1h食糜达到中肠,胃和中肠蛋白酶活性与空腹相比迅速增高;食糜在5h时遍布整个消化道,此时胃蛋白酶活性几乎检测不出,而前肠蛋白酶活性迅速增高,5h达到最高,然后开始降低;8h时中肠蛋白酶活性一直很高,之后降低;而后肠直到12h其蛋白酶活性仍维持在较高水平,说明牙鲆这种消化道较短的鱼类其肠道比胃在蛋白质消化过程中发挥更重要的作用。     

Protease-induced solubilisation of carbohydrates from brewers' spent grain

The impact of microbial proteases on the release of carbohydrates from BSG was studied. The proteases were able to release the non-cellulosic glucose, a portion of feruloylated arabinoxylan and over 50% of the protein from brewers' spent grain (BSG) after 24 h hydrolysis. The non-cellulosic glucose was derived from residual starch-derived products persisting in BSG after mashing. The proteases did not cleave the hydroxycinnamate ester linkages present on the arabinoxylan backbone, and thus do not behave as feruloyl esterases. However, the material solubilised from spent grain by the proteases contained up to 198 μg bound ferulic acid/g extract, which represented 8.6% of the total ferulic acid present in BSG. These results suggest that a portion of water-extractable feruloylated arabinoxylan and starch is trapped within the BSG matrix by a proteinaceous barrier.

An Overview of Proteinase Inhibitors

Proteinase inhibitors are proteins in the body that regulate the catalytic activity of proteinases. They are important in a large variety of physiologic processes including coagulation, digestion, tumor metastasis and immunity. Proteinase inhibitors are categorized as either nonspecific proteinase inhibitors or class-specific proteinase inhibitors. Nonspecific proteinase inhibitors are comprised soley of the alpha macroglobulins, most notably alpha2-macroglobulin. Class-specific proteinase inhibitors are subcategorized as serine proteinase inhibitors, aspartic proteinase inhibitors, metalloproteinase inhibitors, and cysteine proteinase inhibitors. Each subcategory is made up of numerous inhibitors. As the roles of individual proteinase inhibitors are determined, the therapeutic use of natural and synthetic proteinase inhibitors is also being investigated. The purpose of this article is to review the history and classification of proteinase inhibitors and their relevance to veterinary medicine.
