Bacillus stearothermophilus glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase as a source of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
The more potent inhibitory activity against angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) was excised from a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) preparation of Bacillus stearothermophilus by heating at 120 degrees C in 1 M AcOH-20 mM HCl, as compared with GAPDH preparations of yeast and pig. Sufficient excision of B. stearothermophilus ACE inhibitors required a longer proteolysis time of 60 min. Two inhibitors were then purified by gel-permeation and reverse-phase chromatographies. One of the B. stearothermophilus ACE inhibitors BG-1, was the GAPDH peptide 68-77 (Gly-Lys-Glu-Ile-Ile-Val-Lys-Ala-Glu-Arg, IC50: 32 microM). Another inhibitor, BG-2 (Gly-Lys-Met-Val-Lys-Val-Val-Ser-Trp-Tyr, IC50: 6 microM), correspond to GAPDH peptide 304-313. These sequences were quite different from those of vertebrate GAPDH peptides and the venom peptide family with ACE inhibitory activity. BG-2 was found to be a non-competitive type inhibitor, differing from many natural peptide inhibitors. Thus, B. stearothermophilus GAPDH seemed to be a good source of new type ACE inhibitors, in addition to the advantages due to its thermophilic property.
