Abstract
Abstract Transglutaminase (TGase) derived from microorganisms, known for its exceptional protein cross-linking properties, holds significant application potential across various fields. In order to meet market demands such as temperature preferences, catalytic capabilities, selectivity, and the exploration of novel TGases, challenges have arisen for the development of TGases. In this study, we conducted enzymatic activity assays on TGases from Shouchella clausii (strain KSM-K16) (Alkalihalobacillus clausii) and Couchioplanes caeruleus, randomly selected from the TrEMBL database in UniProt. We also simulated the reaction process of these assays and provided interpretations of the results. Subsequently, we examined their cross-linking abilities with protein substrates bovine serum albumin (BSA) and soy protein isolate. By validating with commercial TGase, we identified the correlation between the two commonly used enzymatic activity assay methods for TGase and the substrate preference of TGase. This correlation will aid in the specific modification of TGase.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Food Science & Technology (IJFST) is published for the Institute of Food Science and Technology, the IFST. This authoritative and well-established journal publishes in a wide range of subjects, ranging from pure research in the various sciences associated with food to practical experiments designed to improve technical processes. Subjects covered range from raw material composition to consumer acceptance, from physical properties to food engineering practices, and from quality assurance and safety to storage, distribution, marketing and use. While the main aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for papers describing the results of original research, review articles are also welcomed.
