Abstract

Proteolytic activities were extracted from a dairy Lactobacillus helveticus strain and partially characterized. A first cell envelope proteinase (CEP) was extracted using a high ionic strength buffer, both in the presence and in the absence of Ca2+. Moreover, cell treatment by 5 M LiCl allowed for the selective removal of the S-layer protein and CEP, suggesting an enzyme ionic linkage to the cell envelope similar to that observed for the Slayer structure. The enzyme specificity against alpha(s1)-CN (f1-23) showed unusual activity on the Lys3-His4 bond compared with other proteinases of the same species. A second proteinase appeared to be linked to the cell membrane because it was extractable only after membrane disgregation by detergents. Its specificity against CN fractions and alpha(s1)-CN (f1-23) was different from that of the first CEP; moreover, the measured activity was lower than that of CEP.

  • The CEPs of L. helveticus are also able to hydrolyze κ-casein and αs2-casein, although to a lesser extent than for the other caseins.

    “The CEPs of L. helveticus are also able to hydrolyze κ-casein and αs2-casein; although to a lesser extent than for the other caseins (Ezzat et al., 1985; Yamamoto et al., 1998; Scolari et al., 2006; Jensen et al., 2009; Sadat-Mekmene et al., 2011a).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
