In this study, an angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor from squid skin was purified and characterized. Squid (Todarodes pacificus) skin protein isolates were hydrolyzed using six commercial proteases: alcalase, ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin, neutrase, papain, pepsin, and trypsin. The peptic hydrolysate had the highest ACE inhibitory activity. The ACE inhibitory peptide was purified using Sephadex G-25 column chromatography and reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a $C_{18}$ column. The purified ACE inhibitory peptide was identified and sequenced, and found to consist of seven amino acid residues: Ser-Ala-Gly-Ser-Leu-Val-Pro (657Da). The $IC_{50}$ value of the purified ACE inhibitory peptide was 766.2 ${\mu}M$, and Lineweaver-Burk plots suggested that the purified peptide acts as a noncompetitive ACE inhibitor. These results suggest that the ACE inhibitory peptide purified from the peptic hydrolysate of squid skin may be of benefit in developing antihypertensive drugs and functional foods.

The purpose of this study was the purification and characterization of an angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide purified from enzymatic hydrolysates of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss muscle. After removal of lipid, the approximate composition analysis of the rainbow trout revealed 24.4%, 1.7%, and 68.3% for protein, lipid, and moisture, respectively. Among six hydrolysates, the peptic hydrolysate exhibited the highest ACE inhibitory activity. We attempted to purify ACE inhibitory peptides from peptic hydrolysate using high performance liquid chromatography on an ODS column. The $IC_{50}$ value of purified ACE inhibitory peptide was $63.9{\mu}M$. The amino acid sequence of the peptide was identified as Lys-Val-Asn-Gly-Pro-Ala-Met-Ser-Pro-Asn-Ala-Asn, with a molecular weight of 1,220 Da, and the Lineweaver-Burk plots suggested that they act as a competitive inhibitor against ACE. Our study suggested that novel ACE inhibitory peptides purified from rainbow trout muscle protein may be beneficial as anti-hypertension compounds in functional foods.

The angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors from laver hydrolysate was isolated. Among the 13 kinds of proteases, Maxazyme NNP was most effective for preparing the high ACE inhibitory compound. In extraction conditions of ACE inhibitory peptide from laver hydrolysate, ACE inhibitory activity of hydrolysate treated with diethylether for decolorization and that of $70\%$ ethanol soluble fraction among the different ethanol concentrations were higher than other preparations. Low molecular fraction less than 3,000 dalton of layer hydrolysate separated by ultrafiltration had the highest ACE inhibitory activity, for further separation of ACE inhibitory peptide from laver hydrolysate, gel filtration chromatography (Sephadex G-25), reverse-phase HPLC (ODS & Vydac C-18) and gel permeation chromatography (Superdex Peptide HR) were performed. The molecular mass of the ACE inhibitory peptide fractions of gel permeation chromatography determined by electrospray-mass spectrometer were 413.48 (S1O2V2V1P),346.86 (S1O2V2V2P) and 320.32 (S2O6V3V1P) dalton and their amino acid sequence were Val-Gln-Gly-Asn, Thr-Glu-Thr and Phe-Arg, respectively.

A cell-free extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide was treated in a successive simulated gastric-intestinal bioreactor (step 1: amylase digestion, step 2: gastric fluid digestion, step 3: intestinal fluid digestion) to illustrate the absorption pattern of antihypertensive ACE inhibitory peptide, and the ACE inhibitory activities of each step were determined. Total ACE inhibitory activities of step 1, step 2, and step 3 were 55.96%, 80.09%, and 76.77%, respectively. The peptide sequence of each steps was analyzed by MS/MS spectrophotometry. Eleven kinds of representative peptide sequences were conserved in each step, and representative new peptides including RLPTESVPEPK were identified in step 3.

ACE inhibition activity of peptides was measured after 2 months of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ under condition of pH 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0. and the ACE inhibitory activity were changed only slightly. After 2 months of chilled storage ($4^{\circ}C$), no dramatic change and significance was found. This indicates that acidic, neutral, weak alkali conditions did not affect ACE inhibitory activity of those peptides. Among peptide 1134, 1152, and 1155, peptides from thermolysin + protease A hydrolysates, inhibition activity of peptide 1134 and 1152 was decreased significantly at $60^{\circ}C$, however, they showed stable inhibition activity from $70^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$ (P<0.001). Also, chromatogram of peptide 1134, 1152, and 1155 was shown that retention time of peptide of $60^{\circ}C$ was not correspond to the retention time of the rest of peptides. This indicated that temperature may change the inhibitory activity and profile of peptides.

Hydrolysate which inhibit the Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) was prepared from mackerel muscle by pretense.

ACE inhibitory peptides were isolated by ultrafiltration, gel permeation column chromatography (GPC), reversed phase column chromatography(RPC), reversed phasehigh performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and gel permeation high performance liquid chromatography (GP-HPLC) from the MMH. The amino acid sequence of the ACE inhibitory peptides was Tyr-Val-Ala. The $IC_(50)$ of this peptide for ACE from rabbit lung was $1.4 {\mu}M$.

The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor has anti-hypertensive effects and has long been used as prevention or remedy of hypertension. This study were carried out to produce and purify a new ACE inhibitor from recombinant E. coli and further elucidate its structure-function relationship. Recombinant pGEX-4T-3 containing ACE inhibitory peptide gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). Glutathione-S transferase (GST) fusion protein from E. Coli BL21(DE3) harboring the recombination pGEX-4T-3 was obtained and the ACE inhibitory peptide was purified with Sephadex G-25 column chromatography. The purified ACE inhibitory peptide was a novel decapeptide with sequence Tyr-Asp-Gly-Gly-Val-Phe -Arg-Val-Tyr-Thr which shows very low similarity to the other ACE inhibitory peptide sequence. The purified ACE inhibitor competitively inhibited ACE.

To develop functional food material with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides, muscle protein of anchovy, Engraulis japonica was hydrolyzed during 48 hrs by digestive pretenses such as pepsin, trypsin, $\alpha$-chymotrypsin, and commercial proteases such as papain, bromelain, complex enzyme, Elavourzyme, Novozym, Neutrase, Protamex and Alcalase. The only $50\%$ ethanol soluble hydrolysates were tested for inhibitory activity against ACE and yield of $50\%$ ethanol soluble peptide-nitrogen ($ESPN_{50}$). ACE inhibition effects and yield of $ESPN_{50}$ occurred as hydrolysis time increased to 8 hrs, Among those pretenses tested, hydrolysates by Alcalase and $\alpha$-chymohypsin had greater ACE inhibitory activity (80 and $74\%$, reipectively) with eletated levels of $ESPN_{50}$ (48 and 58 mg/ml, respectively), while Protamex hydrolysates had greater ACE inhibitory activities ($73\%$) with reduced levels of $ESPN_{50}$ (7.2mg/ml) than others. Amino acid compositions of $50\%$ ethanol solubles obtained from those hydrolysates were rich in glutamic acid, aspartic acid, cysteine and leucine.

This study was carried out to investigate the ACE inhibitory materials of Raja kenojei. Raja kenojei was sperated to fillet and viscera, and these were extracted with hot water. Antihypertensive activity was examined by mesearing angiotensin converting enzyme ACE inhibitory activity. ACE inhibitory activity of viscera at the concentration of 2% for Day 0 showed the highest value by 71.0%. But ACE inhibitory activity of fillet at 2% showed by 29%, which was lower antihypertensive activity than viscera. The protein content of viscerial hot water extracts in proximate composition showed the highest. And also, there was a large amount of aromatic and branched aliphatic amino acids in viscera than those in fillet. For the purification of antihypertensive material in visceral hot water extracts, it was separated and collected by Sephadex G-25 gel chromatography. The fraction (B) of 111 to 160 showed the highest ACE inhibitory activity by 65.1% at the concentration of 0.05%. But the other fractions (A and C) showed lower activity than B. These results demonstrate that crude hot water extracts of viscera from Raj kenojei may be useful as functional food ingredient with antihypertensive property.
