Recombinant ferrochelatase (BsFECH) from Bacillus subtilis expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) was found by UV-visible spectroscopy to bind the model substrate tetraphenylporphyrin-sulfonate, TPPS, with Ka=3.8 10(5)mol/L in aqueous phosphate buffer pH 5.7 at 30°C, and to interact with metmyoglobin with Ka=1.07±0.13 10(5)mol/L at 30°C. The iron/zinc exchange in myoglobin occurring during maturation of Parma hams seems to depend on such substrate binding to BsFECH and was facilitated by limited pepsin proteolysis of myoglobin to open a reaction channel for metal exchange still with BsFECH associated to globin. BsFECH increased rate of zinc insertion in TPPS significantly and showed saturation kinetics with an apparent binding constant of Zn(II) to the [enzyme-TPPS] complex of 1.3 10(4)mol/L and a first-order rate constant of 6.6 10(-1)s(-1) for dissociation of the tertiary complex, a similar pattern was found for zinc/iron transmetallation in myoglobin.

Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry is widely used in the field of proteomic analysis after off-line protein digestion. On-line digestion with chromatographic column connected in a series with immobilized enzymatic reactor is not often used approach. In this work we investigated the impact of chromatographic conditions on the protein digestion efficiency.

This research employs pepsin-containing membranes to digest proteins online after a capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation and prior to tandem mass spectrometry. Proteolysis after the separation allows the peptides from a given protein to enter the mass spectrometer in a single plug. Thus, migration time can serve as an additional criterion for confirming the identification of a peptide.

Prenyl functionalities have been widely discovered in natural products, nucleic acids, and proteins with significant biological roles in both healthy and diseased cells. In this work, we develop a series of new nitroso-based probes for the labeling, enrichment, and regulation of prenylated RAS protein, which is highly associated with ∼20% of human cancers and used to be regarded as an "undruggable" target via a sequential ene-ligation and oxime condensation (SELOC) process. We found that these nitroso species can rapidly react with prenyl-containing molecules through ene-ligation and install a molecular tag for functional applications under physiological conditions.

This work investigated the influence of mixed starters (Lactobacillus plantarum CD101 and Staphylococcus simulans NJ201) on the digestive pattern of dry fermented sausage proteins. The addition of starters resulted in a higher degree of proteolysis and looser protein conformation as evidenced by the decreased carbonyl content and electrophoresis bands intensity of myosin heavy chain (MHC) and actin, increased sulfhydryl content and surface hydrophobicity, and transformation of protein secondary structure from α-helix to β-sheet and β-turn. These changes induced by the starters acted as a "pre-digestion" step and improved the digestive pattern of sausage protein.

In this study, the effects of different oxidation intensities on the degradation of myofibrillar protein by endogenous enzymes in iron-catalyzed oxidizing (IOS) and metmyoglobin oxidizing system (MOS) were compared. The results showed that carbonyl content and endogenous enzyme activities (caspase-3, caspase-6 and calpain-1) increased significantly and the total sulfhydryl content decreased significantly with H2O2 concentration in both oxidation systems. Meanwhile, the rate of carbonyl formation and the inhibition of endogenous enzymes activities of IOS were significantly lower than MOS for the same oxidation intensity.
