Action of a cell wall proteinase from Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris SK11 on bovine alpha s1-casein

The cell wall-associated proteinase from Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris SK11 was partially purified and incubated with alpha(s1)-casein for various times up to 48 h. Sixteen trifluoroacetic acid-soluble oligopeptide hydrolysis products were identified by determination of the amino acid sequence....

Description
Summary:The cell wall-associated proteinase from Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris SK11 was partially purified and incubated with alpha(s1)-casein for various times up to 48 h. Sixteen trifluoroacetic acid-soluble oligopeptide hydrolysis products were identified by determination of the amino acid sequence. Eleven of these oligopeptides originated from the 78-residue sequence comprising the C-terminal region of alpha(s1)-casein and were present among the products after the first 60 min of digestion. Three oligopeptides from the N-terminal region and two others from the central region of the alpha(s1)-casein sequence were also present among the early digestion products although in smaller amounts than most of the oligopeptides from the C-terminal region. No clear consensus sequence of amino acid residues surrounding the cleavage sites could be identified.
