Abstract

Trypsin is an enzyme that has a unique mechanism of cutting peptide bonds specifically at the carboxyl side of lysine or arginine amino acids, with another amino acid. This study aims to analyze a trypsin-like protease (TLP) found in Lactobacillus plantarum FNCC 0270,  by performing partial proteomic tests, i.e. MALDI-TOF/TOF, and standard bioinformatics tools. SDS-PAGE analysis showed 4 protein bands. Two bands of the (P1 and P2) showed molecular weights equivalent to 47.35 and 38.42 kD, each generating 8 and 11 peptide fragments respectively. According to information in www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/structures, the structure  of serine protease HtrA (subs. plantarum L. plantarum ST–III) consists of three domains. Using Clone Manager® software by aligning two sequences we obtained eleven. The Lactobacillus produces of the trypsin-like serine protease has 40-90% similarity. Using the Clustal W2 software we passed the 11 sequences through multiple alignments, and found that the isolate L. plantarum is closely related to L. buchneri, L. brevis, and L. malefermentans on the phylogenetic tree. Alignment analysis results showed that all 8 peptide fragments of band 1 and 11 peptide fragments of band 2,  of the SDS-PAGE, were located in the active domain region of  the fourth trypsin-like serine protease producing Lactobacilli.

Abstract

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by lactic acid bacteria have been well known for their important economic value in food, pharmaceutical and health industries. Large extracellular enzyme sucrases are used by lactic acid bacteria to polymerize EPS, i.e. fructansucrase and glucansucrase. This study aimed to characterize sucrase activity of three Weissella confusa strains MBF8-1, MBF8-2 and MBFCNC-2(1), which were isolated previously from local beverages and their EPS products as well. All strains showed ability to form mucoid and slimy colonies by visual inspection on agar plate using raffinose as substrate suggesting that they possessed fructansucrase activity besides glucansucrase. Obtained EPS products were characterized by HPLC analysis after hydrolysis using 3% TCA at 100C for 1 hour, and by viscosity as well. All strains exhibited similar peak patterns, assuming that all of them possessed fructan EPS product. Supernatant and cell pellet were also analyzed by in situ activity assay performing periodic acid Schiff staining after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; only cell pellet showed sucrase activity. Viscosity observation showed that EPS products from all strains were able to increase the viscosity slightly.

Abstract

Skin serves as the first physical barrier and biological barrier by the colonization of commensal bacteria to prevent pathogen invasion. It was known that the disruption on normal commensal microbiota composition or dysbiosis causes skin diseases, while the skin microbiota diversity itself is influenced by several factors, one of them is ethnicity. This study shows the influence of ethnicity factor in Papuans, Javanese, and Chinese descent young adults living in Jakarta on skin microbiome profiles. The microbiota genomic DNA are extracted from the face skin samples and sequenced with Next Generation Sequencing method to be further analyzed. The result shows that individuals with the same ethnic background share similar skin microbiome characteristics. The greatest skin microbiome alpha diversity is shown by the Papuans and the Chinese descent the smallest. Ethnicity factor that shows statistically significant differences in interindividual dissimilarities are independent of other intriguing factors such as age, geographical location, etc. Therefore the ethnic origin of individuals especially from three ethnics above is a factor to be considered in skin microbiome research and the skin microbiota composition can be used for potential future applications.

Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) is essential for viral replication and a promising target for drug discovery. This study explored the inhibitory potential of compounds from Indonesia herbals Butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L), Star fruit leaves (Averrhoa carambola L.), and Java plum leaves (Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels) against PL pro through molecular docking and in vitro assays. The molecular docking method utilized the target protein PLpro (PDB ID: 7CMD), with the native ligand obtained from compounds identified in these plant extracts. The compounds were identified using the KNApSAcK database and analyzed for drug-likeness based on Lipinski's Rule of Five. The physicochemical characteristics affecting absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) were determined using the pkCSM descriptor algorithm protocol. Validation was performed using the redocking method, achieving an RMSD score of 0.728 Å, which indicated validity (RMSD <2.0 Å). The results identified four ligands with the lowest binding affinities from these extracts: (-)-Epicatechin 3-O-gallate, folic acid, petunidin 3-glucoside, and ellagic acid, with binding scores of -8.6, -8.3, -7.1, and -7.1 kcal/mol, respectively. Prior to conducting the PLpro in vitro inhibition assay, a fluorescence-based inhibition assay was performed using Z-RLRGG-AMC as the substrate and GRL0617as the control inhibitor. All extracts were subjected to 70% ethanol maceration. The IC50 value of GRL0617 was 3.38 μM, while fluorescence tests showed that Java plum leaf extract exhibited the highest inhibition percentage at 66.10±3.22%. These findings indicate that all three plant extracts contain compounds capable of inhibiting PLpro activity.
