Identification and molecular docking of two novel peptides with xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity from Auxis thazard

Abstract

Auxis thazard meat was hydrolyzed by alkaline protease. Auxis thazard hydrolysate (ATH) obtained was isolated by ultrafiltration, size exclusion chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Two peptides with high XOD inhibitory activity purified from ATH were identified as Pro-Asp-Leu (PDL, 344.87 Da) and Ser-Val-Gly-Gly-Ala-Leu (SVGGAL, 504.26 Da) by UPLC-MS/MS, which possessed high in vitro XOD inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of 4.37 ± 0.11 mg mL-1 and 5.59 ± 0.09 mg mL-1, respectively. Molecular simulation indicated that PDL and SVGGAL binded to XOD mainly through hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction, thereby inhibiting XOD activity. The research results suggested that the two peptides had potential application prospects as a safe XOD inhibitor substance for hyperuricemia treatment.

1 Introduction

Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a metabolic disease caused by the overproduction and insufficient excretion of uric acid (UA) (George & Minter, 2021George, C., & Minter, DA. (2021). Hyperuricemia. Treasure Island: StatPearls.). It is well known as a factor for stone gout, inflammatory reaction and kidney injury diseases (Borghi et al., 2020Borghi, C., Agabiti-Rosei, E., Johnson, R. J., Kielstein, J. T., Lurbe, E., Mancia, G., Redon, J., Stack, A. G., & Tsioufis, K. P. (2020). Hyperuricaemia and gout in cardiovascular, metabolic and kidney disease.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2020.05...
). As a the end product of purine, UA is mainly regulated by the xanthine oxidase (XOD) in liver, which participates in catalyzing xanthine or hypoxanthine further into UA (Maiuolo et al., 2016Maiuolo, J., Oppedisano, F., Gratteri, S., Muscoli, C., & Mollace, V. (2016). Regulation of uric acid metabolism and excretion. International Journal of Cardiology, 213, 8-14. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2015.08.109. PMid:26316329.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2015....
). Therefore, XOD is considered as one of the targets for the treatment of hyperuricemia.

Some drugs were commonly used to treat hyperuricemia in clinical medicine, such as allopurinol and febuxostat (XOD inhibitor). However, these drugs easily induced adverse side effects (Liu et al., 2019aLiu, C. W., Chang, W. C., Lee, C. C., Shau, W. Y., Hsu, F. S., Wang, M. L., Chen, T. C., Lo, C., & Hwang, J. J. (2019a).

; Ying, 2020Ying, H. (2020). Research progress of drugs for hyperuricemia. Journal of Jilin Medical College, 41(5), 381-382.). Consequently, it is necessary to develop some natural and nontoxic products that possess XOD inhibitory activity. In recent years,

bioactive peptides with XOD inhibitory activity have attracted much attentions for researchers due to their easy absorption, nontoxicity and rich nutrition (Abd El-Salam & El‐Shibiny, 2020Abd El-Salam, M.

).

Auxis thazard, also named bonito, is a kind of deep-sea migratory and low-value tuna, mainly distributed in the east and south sea of China (Chen & Xin-jun, 2017Chen, Y., & Xin-jun, C. (2017). Reviews on Skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) fishery in the west-central pacific ocean. Journal of Guangdong Ocean University, 37(5), 34-43.). It had various biological activities due to its high content of carnosine and anserine. Previous research proved that bonito peptides had the functions of antioxidant, reducing uric acid and inhibiting XOD (Kikuchi et al., 2004Kikuchi, K., Matahira, Y., & Sakai, K. (2004). Separation and physiological functions of anserine from fish extract. Developments in Food Science, 42, 97-105. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0167-4501(04)80012-8.

http://dx.doi.org/10.6032/gnam.40.137...
). However, the XOD inhibitory peptides from Auxis thazard and their interaction mechanism was seldom reported.

The objective of this study is to purify xanthine oxidase inhibitory peptides from ATH, identify their amino acids sequence and to investigate interaction mechanisms between the peptides and XOD via molecular docking.

2 Materials and methods

2.1 Materials and reagents

The Auxis thazard was purchased from Guangdong Xingyi Marine Biological Technology Co. Ltd. (Guangzhou, China). Alcalase was produced from Pangbo Biotech Co. Ltd (Nanning, China). Xanthine oxidase, xanthine and acetonitrile were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Saint Louis, MO, US). Ultrafiltration membrane and Sephadex gel were purchased from GE Company (Boston, US).

2.2 Preparation of ATH

The ATH was prepared as follows (Chen et al., 2019Chen, M., Ji, H., Zhang, Z., Zeng, X., Su, W., & Liu, S. (2019). A novel calcium-chelating peptide purified from Auxis thazard protien hydrolysate and its binding properties with calcium. Journal of Functional Foods, 60, 103447. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2019.103447.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2019.103...
), the Auxis thazard meat was homogenized and enzymatically hydrolyzed for 5 h under certain conditions (temperature 60 °C, pH 8.0, the solid-liquid ratio of 1:3, adding alkaline protease 500 U per gram protein). Then, the termination of the hydrolysis reaction was boiled at 100°C for 15 min. The enzymatic hydrolyte was centrifuged at 8000 rpm, 4 °C for 20 min, and the bonito hydrolytic supernatant (BH) was got after de-oiled with the absorbent cotton gauze. The bonito hydrolytic supernatant (BH) were filtered by the ceramic membrane (pore size 0.2 μm) and the 10, 5, 1 kDa M.W. cut-off ultrafiltration membrane, and the interception and permeating solutions was collected. There were separated into four ultrafiltration fractionation (UF), i.e., UF-1 (>10 kDa), UF-2 (5-10 kDa), UF-3 (1-5 kDa), UF-4 (<1 kDa). Finally, each ultrafiltration fractionation was obtained by the concentration and spray drying.

2.3 Methods

Determination of the XOD inhibitory activity of ATH

The experimental method is referenced from the literature (Masuda et al., 2019Masuda, T., Fukuyama, Y., Doi, S., Masuda, A., Kurosawa, S., & Fujii, S. (2019). Effects of temperature on the composition and Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities of caffeic acid roasting products. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 67(32), 8977-8985. http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.jafc.9b03633. PMid:31334649.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.jafc.9b036...
), with some modifications. The mixture 50 μL of the sample and 50 μL of 0.05 U mL-1 XOD solution were added into 96 well plate that was shaken for 30 s and incubated at 25 °C for 5 min. Then, 150 μL of 0.48 Mmol L-1 xanthine solution was added, and the mixture was shaken 30 s and incubated at 25 °C for 25 min. The absorbance at 290 nm was measured. The XOD inhibitory activity was calculated according to following Equation 1:

Inhibition percentage (%) = (1- A 1 -A 2 A 3 -A 4 ) × 100% (1)

Where A1 is the absorbance value of the production with the sample and XOD, A2 is the absorbance of the production with the sample, A3 is the absorbance the production with the buffer solution and XOD, and A4 is the absorbance of the production with the buffer solution. The extent of inhibition was expressed as the IC50.

Determination of the molecular weight distribution of ATH

The experimental method is referenced from the literature (Li et al., 2018aLi, Q., Kang, X., Shi, C., Li, Y., Majumder, K., Ning, Z., & Ren, J. (2018a). Moderation of hyperuricemia in rats via consuming walnut protein hydrolysate diet and identification of new antihyperuricemic peptides. Food & Function, 9(1), 107-116. http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C7FO01174A. PMid:29019366.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C7FO01174A...
). The molecular weight (MW) distribution of ATO was monitored by a TSK gel G2000SWxL analytical column (30 cm*7.8 mm, Tosoh Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) attached to the Agilent HPLC system (Santa Clara, California, US). The mobile phase volume ratio of acetonitrile/water and trifluoroacetic acid was 45:55:0.1, the flow rate was set as 0.5 mL min-1 (column temperature: 30 °C, running time: 30 min). The calibration curve was obtained using the following standards from Yuanye Co. (Shanghai, China): Cytochrome C (12384 Da), aprotinin (6511.44 Da), bacitracin (1423 Da), oxidized glutathione (612.63 Da), Gly-Gly-Tyr-Arg (451 Da), Gly-Gly-Gly (189 Da), Absorbance at 220 nm was measured.

Analysis of hydrolytic amino acids of ATH

The experimental method is referenced from the literature (Chen et al., 2019Chen, M., Ji, H., Zhang, Z., Zeng, X., Su, W., & Liu, S. (2019). A novel calcium-chelating peptide purified from Auxis thazard protien hydrolysate and its binding properties with calcium. Journal of Functional Foods, 60, 103447. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2019.103447.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2019.103...
). The sample was hydrolyzed by 6.0 mol L-1 HCl, and 17 amino acids were analyzed by Hitachi 835-50 high-speed amino acid analyzer. In addition, the sample was hydrolyzed by 5.0 mol L-1 NaOH, and the content of tryptophan was analyzed on the same machine.

Separation of ATH by Sephadex G-15

The experimental method is referenced from the literature (He et al., 2019He, W., Su, G., Sun-Waterhouse, D., Waterhouse, G. I. N., Zhao, M., & Liu, Y. (2019). In vivo anti-hyperuricemic and xanthine oxidase inhibitory properties of tuna protein hydrolysates and its isolated fractions. Food Chemistry, 272, 453-461. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2018.08.057. PMid:30309568.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.201...
). The UF-4 with highest XOD inhibitory activity was separated via size-exclusion chromatography using the AKTA protein purification system (Boston, USA) with the Sephadex G-15 column (60 cm * 16 mm, Boston, USA). The lyophilized sample of UF-4 (15 mg mL-1) was eluted with distilled water at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min-1 and a loading volume of 1.0 mL. Then, all fractions were detected at 214 nm and collected for further study.

Purification of ATH by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

The experimental method is referenced from the literature (He et al., 2019He, W., Su, G., Sun-Waterhouse, D., Waterhouse, G. I. N., Zhao, M., & Liu, Y. (2019). In vivo anti-hyperuricemic and xanthine oxidase inhibitory properties of tuna protein hydrolysates and its isolated fractions. Food Chemistry, 272, 453-461. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2018.08.057. PMid:30309568.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.201...
). The F2 with highest XOD inhibitory activity thus was chosen for further separation by the reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RT-HPLC) with the Synergi Hydro-RP analytical column (150 * 10 mm, Japan). The F2 (5 mg mL-1) was eluted with the mobile phase consisting of distilled water (containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) (A) and acetonitrile (B) at the flow rate of 2 mL min-1 with a loading volume of 20 μL in gradient mode: 100% A at 0-5 min; 100-70% A at 6-12 min; 70-100% A at 13-16 min; 100% A at 17-20 min. Then, all fractions were detected at 214 nm and collected for further study.

Identification of peptides by UPLC-MS/MS

The experimental method is referenced the literature (Chen et al., 2019Chen, M., Ji, H., Zhang, Z., Zeng, X., Su, W., & Liu, S. (2019). A novel calcium-chelating peptide purified from Auxis thazard protien hydrolysate and its binding properties with calcium. Journal of Functional Foods, 60, 103447. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2019.103447.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2019.103...
). Samples were (10.0 μg mL-1, dissolved in 20% acetonitrile and distilled water) were detected via mass spectrometry (MS, Waters, US), which was filled with a C18 column (2.1*150 mm, 1.7 μm). The mobile phase consisted of solutions distilled water (containing 0.1% formic acid) (A) and acetonitrile (B) at the flow rate of 0.2 mL min-1 with a loading volume of 10 μL, and the elution was set as follows: 98% A at 0-2 min; 98-60% A at 3-5 min; 60-98% A at 5.5-7 min. The spray temperature and MS/MS voltage source were set as 400 °C and 25 kV, respectively. Finally, the peptide sequencing was performed through proceeding the MS/MS spectra via Compass Data Analysis software (Version4.1, Bruker Daltonik GmbH) and manual calculation.

Molecule docking study

Molecule docking of peptide-XOD complex was conducted to explore the effect of lowering UA by peptide (Li et al., 2019Li, Q., Shi, C., Wang, M., Zhou, M., Liang, M., Zhang, T., Yuan, E., Wang, Z., Yao, M., & Ren, J. (2019). Tryptophan residue enhances in vitro walnut protein-derived peptides exerting xanthine oxidase inhibition and antioxidant activities. Journal of Functional Foods, 53, 276-285. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2018.11.024.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2018.11....
). Thus, Discovery studio 4.5 software (Biovia Inc., San Digeo, US) was used to examine the interaction of peptide with the active site of XOD. Firstly, the peptides structure was drawn with Chem3D 15.1 software and saved in mol2 format. The X-ray crystal structure of bovine XOD (3NVY) was downloaded from RCSB Protein Data Bank (https://www.rcsb.org/pdb). The receptor protein (3NVY) was repaired by discovery studio 2019, the procedures including cleaning, removing the inhibitor and water, adding hydrogen (Zhang et al., 2017Zhang, Z. C., Wang, H. B., Zhou, Q., Hu, B., Wen, J. H., & Zhang, J. L. (2017). Screening of effective xanthine oxidase inhibitors in dietary anthocyanins from purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Cultivar Eshu No.8) and deciphering of the underlying mechanisms in vitro. Journal of Functional Foods, 36, 102-111. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2017.06.048.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2017.06....
), and the molecular docking results were analyzed by Pymol and DS4.5 software.

2.4 Statistical analysis

The data are presented as means ± standard deviation and statistically analyzed by Graph Pad Prism 7.0 software (San Diego, CA, US). Significant differences between groups were judged by One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Multiple comparisons test. Differences were significant when p < 0.05.

3 Results and discussion

3.1 The XOD inhibitory activity of ATH

The XOD inhibitory activity of ATH were shown in (Figure 1A). From the Figure 1A, it can be seen that the XOD inhibitory activity of UF-4 (IC50 = 11.23 ± 0.31 mg mL-1) was remarkably higher than other fractionations (p < 0.05). Compared with the original bonito hydrolytic supernatant (IC50 = 14.47 ± 0.70 mg mL-1), the IC50 value of UF-4 was remarkably down 22.38% (p < 0.05). The IC50 values of UF-1, UF-2, UF-3 were 20.50 mg mL-1, 17.23 mg mL-1, 13.67 mg mL-1, respectively. Those results suggested that ATH possessed significant XOD inhibitory effect in vitro. Previous research proved that the 600-800 Da ultrafiltration fractionation had obvious XOD inhibitory activity (the IC50 value was 9.18 mg mL-1), which was 38.31% lower than the original skipjack tuna hydrolysate (Zhong et al., 2021Zhong, H., Abdullah, Zhang, Y., Deng, L., Zhao, M., Tang, J., Zhang, H., Feng, F., & Wang, J. (2021). Exploring the potential of novel xanthine oxidase inhibitory peptide (ACECD) derived from Skipjack tuna hydrolysates using affinity-ultrafiltration coupled with HPLC-MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS.

3.2 Molecular weight distribution and amino acid composition of ATH

The diverse molecular weight often make different functional activities. It was reported that peptides with small MW (< 1 kDa) was easier absorption and exhibited biological activities (Wang et al., 2020Wang, P., Lin, Y., Wu, H., Lin, J., Chen, Y., Hamzah, S. S., Zeng, H., Zhang, Y., & Hu, J. (2020). Preparation of antioxidant peptides from hairtail surimi using hydrolysis and evaluation of its antioxidant stability.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/fst.23719...
). The UF-4 with highest XOD inhibitory activity was used for further determination of amino acid composition and molecular weight distribution. According to the size exclusion chromatogram of standards (Figure 1B) and the molecular weight distribution curve of standards (Figure 1C), it can be seen that almost 95% of the molecular weight of UF-4 is mainly distributed in 180 Da-1000 Da (Figure 1D), which indicating that ATH could have the potential bioactivity. The biological activities of peptides in ATH are mainly related to their structural features, such as amino acid composition, sequence, hydrophobicity (Navarro-Peraza et al., 2020Navarro-Peraza, R. S., Osuna-Ruiz, I., Lugo-Sánchez, M. E., Pacheco-Aguilar, R., Ramírez-Suárez, J. C., Burgos-Hernández, A., Martínez-Montaño, E., & Salazar-Leyva, J. A. (2020).

http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/fst.24719...
). It was reported that the hydrophobic amino acids were positively related to XOD inhibitory activity (He et al., 2019He, W., Su, G., Sun-Waterhouse, D., Waterhouse, G. I. N., Zhao, M., & Liu, Y. (2019). In vivo anti-hyperuricemic and xanthine oxidase inhibitory properties of tuna protein hydrolysates and its isolated fractions.

). The amino acids composition of UF-4 of ATH is shown in Table 1, the total content of hydrolyzed amino acids was 66.9 g/100 g, the hydrophobic amino acids accounts for 31.81%. In addition, the content of essential amino acids was 25.30 g/100 g. These results indicated that ATH has potential uric acid-lowering activity and comprehensive nutrition.

3.3 Sephadex G-15 separation and evaluation of XOD inhibitory activity

The size exclusion chromatography was applied for elution and separation of biological macromolecules according to molecules size. In this study, Sephadex G-15 was used for separating peptides with MW below 1500 Da. As shown in Figure 2A, UF-4 with the highest XOD inhibitory activity was separated into seven fractions F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 and F7 by G-15. The XOD inhibitory activity of these seven fractions were shown in Figure 2B, the XOD inhibitory activity of F2 was highest, followed by F1, F4, F6, F3, F5 and F7. Among them, the IC50 value of F2 were 6.46 ± 0.13 mg mL-1, which was lower 42.48% than the UF-4 (IC50 = 11.23 ± 0.31 mg mL-1). XOD inhibitory peptides had been purified from the bonito by Sephadex G-15 and Superdex peptide GL 10/300 in previous research and showed that the peptide containing Phe exhibited stronger XOD inhibiting activity. (He et al., 2019He, W., Su, G., Sun-Waterhouse, D., Waterhouse, G. I. N., Zhao, M., & Liu, Y. (2019). In vivo anti-hyperuricemic and xanthine oxidase inhibitory properties of tuna protein hydrolysates and its isolated fractions.

; Yujuan, 2019Yujuan, L. (2019). Preparation, isolation, structural characterization, and the effect mechanism of uric acid-lowering peptides derived from bonito (Dissertation for the Degree of Master). South China University of Technology, China.). Thus, based on the current results, the F2 was regarded as the major component to be further investigated in the XOD inhibitor activity.

3.4 RT-HPLC purification and evaluation of XOD inhibitory activity

The RP-HPLC method is a highly sensitive and rapid method, which is typically used for the purification of small molecules, particularly those with MW below 1 kDa (Garcia et al., 2006Garcia, J., Far, S., Diesis, E., & Melnyk, O. (2006). Determination of glyoxylyl-peptide concentration using oxime chemistry and RP-HPLC analysis. Journal of Peptide Science, 12(11), 734-738. http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/psc.791. PMid:16981231.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/psc.791...
). In this study, the F2 fraction with highest XOD inhibitory activity obtained by Sephadex G-15 gel separation was further purified via RT-HPLC, and two absorption peaks were obtained, i.e., F2-1, F2-2 (Figure 3A). The XOD inhibitory activity of two fractions were shown in (Figure 3B), the IC50 value of the F2-1 and F2-2 were detected to be 4.37 ± 0.11 mg mL-1 and 5.59 ± 0.09 mg mL-1, respectively. It has been reported that the peptides from rice shell protein purified by gel filtration and HPLC had XOD inhibitory activity, whose inhibition rate was 3/4 of that of allopurinol (Liu et al., 2020aLiu, N., Meng, B., Zeng, L., Yin, S., Hu, Y., Li, S., Fu, Y., Zhang, X., Xie, C., Shu, L., Yang, M., Wang, Y., & Yang, X. (2020a). Discovery of a novel rice-derived peptide with significant anti-gout potency. Food & Function, 11(12), 10542-10553. http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/D0FO01774D. PMid:33185232.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/D0FO01774D...
). The IC50 value of XOD inhibitory peptides purified from tilapia hydrolysate was 4.51 mg ml-1 (Zhouhuang, 2018Zhouhuang, S. (2018). Study on uric acid-reducing peptide of tilapia skin collagen. (Dissertation for the Degree of Master). South China University of Technology, China.). Two novel anti-hyperuricemic peptides derived Walnut protein displayed high in vitro XOD inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of 17.75 ± 0.12 mg mL-1 (WPPKN) and 19.01 ± 0.23 mg mL-1 (ADIYTE) (Li et al., 2018aLi, Q., Kang, X., Shi, C., Li, Y., Majumder, K., Ning, Z., & Ren, J. (2018a). Moderation of hyperuricemia in rats via consuming walnut protein hydrolysate diet and identification of new antihyperuricemic peptides. Food & Function, 9(1), 107-116. http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C7FO01174A. PMid:29019366.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C7FO01174A...
). To elucidate the relationship between the inhibit XOD activity and primary peptide structure of F2-1, F2-2, the UPLC-MS/ MS was used to further identify its peptide sequences.

3.5 Identification of peptides via UPLC-MS/MS

The fractions F2-1 and F2-2 with the higher XOD inhibitory activity were analyzed by mass spectrometry, As shown in Figure 4A-B, the two peptides parent ions with m/z at 344.8770 (F2-1) and 504.2662 (F2-2) were selected for fragmentation via the software of the MS spectrometer. At present, the analysis of structure of peptide sequence is mainly based on the naming system proposed by roepsstorff and fohlman. Generally, the fragment ions can be divided into two types: a, b and c are represented by the N-terminal fragment ions, and x, y and z are represented by the C segment; Among them, b and y fragment ions are considered to be the key to judge the peptide sequence (Craig et al., 1993Craig, A. G., Koerber, S. C., Rivier, J. E., & Bennich, H. (1993). A strategy to assign a series of fragment ions: investigation of fragment ions involving peptide side chain and backbone cleavage.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0003-2697(91)9...
).

Figure 4
Identification of molecular mass and amino acid sequence of ATH, the MS spectrum of purified fraction (A) F2-1 and (B) F2-2; the amino acid sequence of purified fraction (C) F2-1 and (D) F2-2.

According to the fragmentation and the fracture mode of the peptide chain, the amino acid sequence of parent ion m/z at 344.8770 could be determined. As shown in Figure 4C, the m/z = 213.9005 peak was for b2 ion, which corresponded to the mass of fragment Pro-Asp-, and the m/z at 246.9532 was for y2 ion (probably fragment Asp-Leu-). Similarly, the b1 ions corresponded to proline residue. The MS/MS sequence of charged ions with m/z at 504.2662 were illustrated in Figure 4D, it can be seen that the m/z at 132.1098 was for the y1 ion, and the m/z = 244.0903 peak was for the b3 ion (probably fragment Ser-Val-Gly-). The y3 ion with m/z = 259.9341 corresponded to the fragment Gly-Ala-Leu-. Meanwhile, the m/z = 372.2452 peak was for b5 ion (probably fragment Ser-Val-Gly-Gly-Ala-); and the m/z at 416.1922 peak was for y5 ion (probably fragment Val-Gly-Gly-Ala-Leu-). So based on these results, the sequences of two peptides were identified to be Pro-Asp-Leu (PDL) and Ser-Val-Gly-Gly-Ala-Leu (SVGGAL) with molecular weight of 304.87 Da and 504.26 Da, respectively.

To our knowledge, the XOD activity was affected not only by the molecular weight of the peptides but also by the amino acid sequence of the peptides. It was reported that food-derived XOD inhibitory peptides were usually composed of 2 - 10 amino acids with molecular weight less than 1000 Da. Generally, aromatic amino acids (such as Trp, Tyr, Phe and His) and hydrophilic amino acids located at the N-end of peptides possessed higher XOD inhibitory activity than the C-end. However, polypeptides with aromatic amino acids located in the middle was not conducive to exert XOD inhibitory activity. Besides, hydrophobic amino acids located at the C-terminal of the polypeptide could promote XOD inhibitory activity (He et al., 2019He, W., Su, G., Sun-Waterhouse, D., Waterhouse, G. I. N., Zhao, M., & Liu, Y. (2019). In vivo anti-hyperuricemic and xanthine oxidase inhibitory properties of tuna protein hydrolysates and its isolated fractions.

). In this study, two peptides was identified with molecular weight of 304.87 Da and 504.26 Da and hydrophobic amino acids located at the C-terminal, and this result was also in agreement above report. However, the amino acid sequence of two peptides had not been reported up to now. Hence, the molecular dock was used to investigate the relationship between the peptide and XOD activity.

3.6 Molecular dock studying of the peptide and XOD

Molecular docking can be used to predict the structural interaction between ligand and receptor. According to the docking law of discovery studio, if value of energy was lower, it indicated that the docking system of receptor and ligand was more stable (Zhang et al., 2015Zhang, Z. C., Su, G. H., Luo, C. L., Pang, Y. L., Wang, L., Li, X., Wen, J. H., & Zhang, J. L. (2015). Effects of anthocyanins from purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. cultivar Eshu No. 8) on the serum uric acid level and xanthine oxidase activity in hyperuricemic mice. Food & Function, 6(9), 3045-3055. http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C5FO00499C. PMid:26201407.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C5FO00499C...
). According to the report, some amino acid residues can affect the active center of XOD including Phe649, Phe914, Phe1009, Asn768, Val1011, Glu802, Ser876, Lys771, Leu873, Leu1014, Arg880, Thr1010 and Glu126 (Nishino et al., 2008Nishino, T., Okamoto, K., Eger, B. T., Pai, E. F., & Nishino, T. (2008). Mammalian xanthine oxidoreductase: mechanism of transition from xanthine dehydrogenase to xanthine oxidase. The FEBS Journal, 275(13), 3278-3289. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1742-4658.2008.06489.x. PMid:18513323.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1742-4658.20...
). The interactions between PDL and XOD activity were showed in Figure 5A and C, and the estimated lowest binding energy was -7.89 kcal/mol. The amino acid residues around the binding of PDL to XOD were Asn768, Ser876, His875, Glu802, Leu873, Lys771, Glu802, Phe914, Thr803, Pro1076, Thr1010, Arg880, Ala1079, Ala1078, Ala910, Phe1009, Leu1014, Asp872, Phe649, Phe1013 and Val1011. As seen in the Table 2, PDL forms hydrogen bonds with the amino acid residues Asn768, Ser876, Leu873, Glu802 with bond lengths of 2.2, 3.0, 3.4, and 2.0 Å, respectively. Moreover, eleven van der Waals and four hydrophobic interaction were observed in those amino acid residues.

Table 2
The docking results of target protein with peptides.

The docking results of SVGGAL was illustrated in Figure 5B and D, and the estimated lowest biding energy was -7.28 kcal/mol. Those amino acid residues appeared around the binding of SVGGAL to XOD including Leu648, Asn768, Glu802, Lys771, Phe649, Val1011, Leu1014, Phe914, Phe1009, Leu873, Thr803, Ser876, Phe1013, Met770, Gln1016. As seen in the Table 2, four hydrogen bonds were found, including Asn768, Glu802, Leu648, Lys771 with bond lengths of 1.8, 2.5, 2.5, and 1.9 Å, respectively. Some researchers showed that Asn768, Glu802, Lys771 residues could contribute to catalytic XOD inhibitor activity, among them Lys771 residues was located next to the Mo domain (Ichida et al., 2012Ichida, K., Amaya, Y., Okamoto, Y. A. K., & Nishino, T. (2012). Mutations associated with functional disorder of xanthine oxidoreductase and hereditary xanthinuria in humans.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C7FO01174A...
). Besides, there were van der Waals interactions with Thr1010, Phe649, Gln1016, Thr803, and even hydrophobic amino acid residues. Based on this, it is speculated that PDL and SVGGAL binds to XOD mainly through hydrogen bond, van der Waals force and hydrophobic force to inhibit the catalytic activity of XOD.

4 Conclusion

In this study, two peptides with high XOD inhibitory activity have been purified from ATH and identified as Pro-Asp-Leu (PDL) and Ser-Val-Gly-Gly-Ala-Leu (SVGGAL), which possessed XOD inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of 4.37 ± 0.11 mg mL-1 and 5.59 ± 0.09 mg mL-1, respectively. Molecular simulation indicated that PDL and SVGGAL contributed inhibition effects by inserting into the active center of XOD. The research results suggested that the two peptides had potential application prospects as a safe XOD inhibitor substance for hyperuricemia treatment.
