摘要: A novel aspartic-type endopeptidase was previously obtained from Moringa oleifera seeds; however, its specific milk-clotting properties have remained unclear. Here, we used various biophysical and molecular simulation approaches for characterizing the structure and function of the aspartic-type endopeptidase. The endopeptidase was preferentially active toward kappa-casein (CN) and hydrolyzed it more than calf rennet; however, its ability to hydrolyze alpha-CN and beta-CN was weaker than that of calf rennet. The endopeptidase cleaved kappa-CN at Gln135-Asp136 and generated a 15 588.18 Da peptide with 135 amino acids. We further simulated the docking complex of the endopeptidase and kappa-CN and found out that they possibly combined with each other via hydrogen bonds. The flocculation reaction between the endopeptidase and kappa-CN indicated that milk coagulation occurred within 60 min. Overall, our observations suggest that the aspartic-type endopeptidase can be a potential rennet alternative for cheese making.
