Purification and Characterization of Cathepsin B from the Muscle of Horse Mackerel Trachurus japonicus

Abstract: An endogenous protease in fish muscle, cathepsin B, was partially purified and characterized from horse mackerel meat. On SDS-PAGE of the purified enzyme under reducing conditions, main protein bands were detected at 28 and 6 kDa and their respective N-terminal sequences showed high homology to heavy and light chains of cathepsin B from other species. This suggested that horse mackerel cathepsin B formed two-chain forms, similar to mammalian cathepsin Bs. Optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme were 5.0 and 5… Show more

“…The high activities of cathepsin B, D, and L were detected in chum salmon muscle, which was suspected to be the reason for muscle softening (Yamashita & Konagaya, 1991). Researchers have described different procedures for isolating marine cysteine or thiol proteinases from the muscle of marine fishes (Yamashita & Konagaya, ; Yoshida et al, ). However, there are few studies on proteolytic enzymes in the blood of fish.…”

“…We thus conclude that Jian carp CatB presumably functions in double‐chain form in vivo . The natural CatB purified from the muscle of horse mackerel ( Trachurus japonicus ) has been definitely proven to form 2 chains via the N ‐terminal sequencing of 2 bands (28 and 6 kDa) on reducing SDS‐PAGE (Yoshida and others ). However, the recombinant mature CatB obtained in the study presented only one band on reducing SDS‐PAGE and a similar phenomenon was also observed for the recombinant mature turbot (Zhou and others ).…”

“…The scad (Decapterus maruadsi), belongs to the family of mackerel, plays an important role in Chinese marine fishing industry economics and its production in China reached 540,000 tons in 2009 (Zhong et al, 2012). In Southern China, the peak of scad harvest is during the summer.…”

“…Thiansilakul et al (2007) also studied the composition of defatted round scad protein hydrolysate with antioxidative activity. Two endogenous proteases, cathepsin L and MBSP, were isolated from blue scad skeletal muscle (Zhong et al, 2012). However, no information regarding the ironbinding peptides from scad processing byproduct hydrolysate has been reported.…”
