Purification and Characterization of Bowman-Birk Trypsin Inhibitor from Soybean
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, crude extract of a Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitor from soybean meal was firstly isolated by a combination of alcohol precipitation, thermal denaturation, isoelectric precipitation and acetone precipitation. Then this extract was purified by DE-52 ion exchange and affinity chromatography. The results showed that soybean Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitor (SBBI) was purified to 50.07-fold with trypsin activity of 822.31 U·mg-1. The purified SBBI gave a single protein band in SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The accurate molecular mass of this inhibitor was determined to be 8837.46Da by MALDI-TOF. N-terminal sequence showed high homology with other serine proteinase inhibitors belonging to the Leguminosae family.

Isolation and Characterization of Trypsin Inhibitors (Kunitz Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor, Bowman-birk Inhibitor) in Soybean
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) has emerged as one of the most economical and nutritious foods. Kunitz Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor (KSTI) and Bowman -Birk Inhibitor (BBI) are the two major trypsin inhibitors in soybeans. The ingested soybean trypsin inhibitors cause growth depression as demonstrated in different animal species and human. The main part of the present study was devoted to isolatio...
متن کاملInitiation of the degradation of the soybean kunitz and bowman-birk trypsin inhibitors by a cysteine protease.
Protease K1 activity initiates the degradation of the Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitor (KSTI) during germination and early seedling growth. This enzyme was purified nearly 1300-fold from the cotyledons of 4-day-old soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) seedlings. Protease K1 is a cysteine protease with a molecular weight of approximately 29,000. It cleaves the native form of KSTI, Ti(a), to Ti(a) ...
متن کاملImmunoassays for Bowman–Birk and Kunitz Soybean Trypsin Inhibitors in Infant Formula
Because the consumption of soybean inhibitors of digestive enzymes in processed foods may have both beneficial and adverse health-related effects, reliable and rapid analytical methods for these inhibitors are needed. Monoclonal antibody–based sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were developed for the 2 major soybean protease inhibitors, the Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI) and B...
متن کاملIsolation and properties of complexes of the Bowman-Birk soybean inhibitor with trypsin and chymotrypsin.
Complexes of the Bowman-Birk soybean inhibitor with either trypsin or chymotrypsin and with both of these enzymes were isolated by gel atration. Amino acid analyses and molecular weight estimates by gel filtration were consistent with the formation of a 1: 1 molar complex between inhibitor and trypsin or chymotrypsin and a 1: 1: 1 molar complex composed of inhibitor, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. ...

This study describes the relationship between the two major trypsin inhibitors (TI) in soybean, i.e., the Kunitz (KTI) and Bowman-Birk (BBI) trypsin inhibitors, as well as between them and the corresponding trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA). Twelve investigated soybean genotypes showed significant differences in TI levels and TIA. A very strong positive correlation was found between the levels o...
