Impact of microbial transglutaminase on gelling properties of Indian mackerel fish protein isolates 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Impacts of microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) (0–0.6 units/g sample) on gel properties of Indian mackerel unwashed mince, surimi and protein isolates with and without prewashing were studied. Generally, lower myoglobin and lipid contents were found in protein isolate with and without prewashing, compared to those of unwashed mince and surimi (P < 0.05). Protein isolate had the decreased Ca2+-ATPase and protein solubility, indicating protein denaturation. When MTGase was incorporated, breaking force and deformation of all gels markedly increased, especially as MTGase levels increased (P < 0.05). At the same MTGase level, gel from protein isolate with prewashing exhibited the highest breaking force and deformation (P < 0.05). The addition of MTGase could lower the expressible moisture content of most gels. No change in whiteness of gel was observed with the addition of MTGase (P > 0.05), but gel from protein isolate gels had decreased whiteness as MTGase at high level was added. The microstructure of protein isolate gels without prewashing showed a similar network to unwashed mince gels, whilst a similar network was observed between surimi gel and gel from protein isolate with prewashing. Nevertheless, a larger void was noticeable in gels from protein isolates. All gels incorporated with MTGase (0.6 units/g) showed a slightly denser network than those without MTGase. Thus, gel with improved properties could be obtained from protein isolate from Indian mackerel with added MTGase. 相似文献

Members of the ubiquitin-like protein family are known for their ability to modify substrates by covalent conjugation. The highly conserved ubiquitin relative UBL5/Hub1, however, is atypical because it lacks a carboxy-terminal di-glycine motif required for conjugation, and the whole E1-E2-E3 enzyme cascade is likely absent. Though the conjugation-mediated role of UBL5/Hub1 is controversial, it undoubtedly functions by interacting non-covalently with its partners. Several interactors of UBL5/Hub1 identified to date have suggested broad stress-responsive functions of the protein, for example, stress-induced control of pre-mRNA splicing, Fanconi anemia pathway of DNA damage repair, and mitochondrial unfolded protein response. While having an atypical mode of function, UBL5/Hub1 is still a stress protein that regulates feedback to various stimuli in a similar manner to other ubiquitin-like proteins. In this review, I discuss recent progress in understanding the functions of UBL5/Hub1 and the fundamental questions which remain to be answered. 相似文献

Stentor coeruleus is a ciliate known for its regenerative ability. Recent genome sequencing reveals that its spliceosomal introns are exceptionally small. We wondered whether the multimegadalton spliceosome has any unique characteristics for removal of the tiny introns. First, we analyzed intron features and identified spliceosomal RNA/protein components. We found that all snRNAs are present, whereas many proteins are conserved but slightly reduced in size. Some regulators, such as Serine/Arginine-rich proteins, are noticeably undetected. Interestingly, while most parts of spliceosomal proteins, including Prp8′s positively charged catalytic cavity, are conserved, regions of branching factors projecting to the active site are not. We conjecture that steric-clash avoidance between spliceosomal proteins and a sharply looped lariat might occur, and splicing regulation may differ from other species. 相似文献

Effect of formaldehyde on protein cross-linking and gel forming ability of surimi from lizardfish induced by microbial transglutaminase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Impact of formaldehyde (FA) at various levels (0–9 μmol/g surimi) on gel properties of surimi from lizardfish added with microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) was studied. During iced storage of 10 days, total and free FA in lizardfish flesh increased continuously (P < 0.05). In the presence of FA, breaking force of gels slightly increased, whilst the deformation decreased (P < 0.05). The addition of MTGase (0.4 units/g surimi) was able to increase gel strength and water holding capacity of resulting gel. Nevertheless, gel strengthening effect of MTGase was lowered when FA at higher level was present. Myosin heavy chain (MHC) dominantly underwent polymerisation to a higher extent when either MTGase or FA was added. The higher reduction in ε-amino group content was observed in natural actomyosin (NAM) when FA at higher levels (0–30 μmol/g protein) was incorporated. Acyl transfer reaction mediated by MTGase was impeded in NAM containing FA, especially at higher levels. Generally, FA had an adverse effect on cross-linking ability towards surimi proteins induced by MTGase. Therefore, cross-linking and gel-forming ability of lizardfish surimi could be maximised by MTGase when surimi contained no FA. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) has been used to increase the gel strength of surimi. Nevertheless, its effectiveness varies with fish species. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of MTGase at different levels on protein cross‐linking and gel property of surimi from threadfin bream, Indian mackerel and sardine in the presence and absence of endogenous transglutaminase. RESULT: Breaking force of all surimi gels increased as MTGase levels (0–0.6 U g?1) increased except for threadfin bream surimi gel, where the breaking force decreased at 0.6 U g?1 (P < 0.05). In the presence of EDTA, the gel strengthening effect was lower, suggesting the combined effect of endogenous transglutaminase with MTGase. With the addition of MTGase, the gel with the highest increase in breaking force showed highest decrease in myosin heavy chain. When cross‐linking activity of MTGase on natural actomyosin (NAM) was determined, the highest decreasing rate in ε‐amino group content with the concomitant increased formation of cross‐linked proteins was found in NAM from threadfin bream. The reactivity of muscle proteins toward MTGase‐induced cross‐linking was in agreement with surimi gel strengthening. CONCLUSION: The composition and properties of muscle proteins of varying fish species more likely determined protein cross‐linking induced by MTGase, thereby affecting their gel properties.
