Abstract

hree protein sequences, chickpea legumin α- and β-subunit [Cicer arietinum] (NCBI accession number: gi|6273402), oat 12 S seed storage globulin 1 (NCBI accession number: gi|134918) and rice glutelin precursor [Oryza sativa (japonica cultivar-group)] (NCBI accession number: gi|62546207) were chosen for sequence alignments using BLAST analysis. The sequence alignments gave approximately 30% similarity of AAs sequences with chickpea legumin vs. oat 12 S globulin 1 and chickpea legumin vs. rice glutelin precursor; the oat 12 S globulin 1 and rice glutelin precursor exhibited relatively high sequence homology of 63%. In silico, BIOPEP results showed that the chickpea legumin and provicilin precursor demonstrated either di- or tri-peptides with a total of 177 and 133 potential angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides, respectively. Ficain and proteinase K were the proposed proteases that could theoretically release greater numbers of predicted ACE-inhibitory peptides (34 and 35, respectively) from chickpea legumin and provicilin precursor; in addition, the simulation of human gastrointestinal digestion using a combination of pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin A could liberate a sum of 23 predicted ACE-inhibitory peptides from these two proteins.
