Bacterial proteases commonly function as thrombus dissolver agents in the pharmaceutical industry. Bacterial isolate HSFI-10 (Holothuria scabra Fermented Intestine-10) previously isolated from Rusip fermented sea cucumber had demonstrated thrombolytic activity. This study aimed to produce crude protease of HSFI-10 strain at an optimized incubation time and determine the thrombolytic activity of crude and dialysate proteases on A, B, AB, and O blood types. Isolate HSFI-10 was first molecularly identified and found to be Bacillus cereus with a homology level of 99.80% with Bacillus cereus strain ST06. The optimum crude enzyme was obtained after 48-h incubation with an activity of 222.52 U/mL, which increased to 438.84 U/mL after ammonium sulfate precipitation and dialysis. Clot lysis activity of crude enzymes was measured based on the gravimetry method...

The latest technology combining enzymes with certain drugs is the target of new research in the thrombolytic area. The first step is to develop protease from Bacillus thuringiensis HSFI-12 bacteria as an antithrombotic agent, characterization of the bacterial enzyme is necessary. This study aims to determine the specificity of protease from Bacillus thuringiensis HSFI-12 to explore its potential as an antithrombotic agent in terms of anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activities. The molecular weight and specificity of bacterial protease were determined with a zymographic method with casein as substrate. Bacillus thuringiensis HSFI-12 was first cultured on Nutrient Agar (NA) media and then on Skim Milk Agar (SMA) media. The obtained crude protease from Skim Milk Broth (SMB) was then concentrated as dialysate. Both crude and dialysate proteases were tested for their specific activity, as well as anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activities. Next, the dialysate's molecular weight and specificity on the casein substrate were investigated using the zymographic method. As result, protease activity in crude form is lower than that in dialysate, which was 0.5570 ± 0,004 U/mL and 2.1767 ± 0,005 U/mL, respectively. The molecular weight of the obtained bacterial protease was between 117-133 kDa and the enzyme is capable of degrading casein as shown on the zymogram. Overall, both crude and dialysate proteases of Bacillus thuringiensis HSFI-12 show potential as an antithrombotic agent for exhibiting anticoagulant and antiplatelet activities. Yet, it could not exhibit direct fibrinolytic activity implying the possibility that the enzyme plays a role as a plasminogen activator, which can dissolve fibrin by activating plasmin.

The protease enzyme used was derived from fermented sea cucumber digestive organs (HSFI-8). HSFI-8 uses meat tenderizer as well as an anticoagulant agent. The samples used were beef, chicken and tuna whose protein profile was analyzed using SDS-PAGE. Three types of meat were soaked in HSFI-8 at a concentration of 30% v/v for 3 h. In addition, protease enzymes as therapy for the treatment of CVD. The second sample, human blood, was tested for anticoagulant by Lee-White in vitro. Blood samples were treated with the addition of HSFI-8 as an anticoagulant which measured blood clotting time. The results showed that soaking beef using HSFI-8 was able to break the peptide bonds in proteins which were marked by the addition of minor protein bands. There was no change in the amount of protein bands in chicken and cob meat. The results of the anticoagulant test showed that HSFI-8 was able ...

In this study, two pair of primers, PhoPF-PhoPR: 5’- CCGCGCAGGAAAAACTCAAA-3’ and 5’-ATCTGTTCCAGCATCACCGG -3’ as well as PhoQF-PhoQR: 5’-AGAGATGATGCGCGTACTGG-3’ and 5’- CAGACGCCCCATGAGAACAT-3’, had been successfully designed using Primer3Plus to detect the presence of phoP and phoQ genes in Salmonella spp. Using genomic DNA of 44 genomic data of Salmonella spp. as templates, PhoPF-PhoPR could produce 520-bp amplicon, while PhoQF-PhoQR could result in 598-bp amplicon. Results of in silico PCR showed that both pairs of primers PhoPF-PhoPR and PhoQF-PhoQR could detect only Salmonella enterica species, and no Salmonella bongori species could be detected based on phoP and phoQ sequences. Both pairs of PhoPF-PhoPR and PhoQF-PhoQR primers were also able to detect the virulence genes in most of the studied subspecies of Salmonella enterica available i...

One of the disadvantages of sago larvae as a food ingredient is that it decomposes easily. To avoid decay, preservation could be done by heating with an oven and microwave, but the influence of the heating process to the quality of protein needs to be investigated. The purpose of this study was to analyze the profile of sago larvae protein baked in an oven and microwave with a time variation of sago larvae. The method used was SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis). The samples used were 13 sago larvae. Alarvae sample was used as a control and was not roasted with an oven and microwave, 6 larvae were baked with an oven with a variation of time 1, 2 and 3 minutes then the other 6 were roasted by microwave with a time variation of 1, 2 and 3 minutes. The results showed that sago larvae as a control had a number of protein bands 26, unlike the protein bands after baking with an oven and microwave. Larvae that have been baked in the oven for 1 minute found 17 protein bands, 20 protein bands were found for 2 minutes, and for 3 minutes were found 10 protein bands. Whereas in the sago larvae sample which was baked in the microwave for 1 minute found 16 protein bands, for 2 minutes found 11 protein bands and for 3 minutes found 12 protein bands. These results indicatedthe longer the heating time, the higher the level of protein denaturation.This marked by more protein bands on protein profile with smaller molecular weight values.

However, the Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend serology due to its low sensitivity. The purpose of this study was to determine the molecular properties of the protein pilli of Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) that the findings can be used to develop a typhoid fever diagnostic reagent. The SDS-PAGE method was used, as well sequence analysis with ProtParam, ProtScale, and PSIPRED. The SDS-PAGE profile reveals one major protein (42 kDa) and fourteen minor proteins. The pili protein subunit 42 kDa had an amino acid (AA) sequence with a length of 390 AA, according to bioinformatics analysis. According to the ProtParam results, the pili protein subunit 42 kDa has good stability with a value of 40 and is a hydrophilic protein with an average GRAVY value of-0.950. PSIPRED results show that among the secondary structural elements, coil strand predominates, followed by-helix and-strand. It is concluded that this protein is immunogenic and that it can be used to develop a more specific and sensitive diagnostic reagent for typhoid fever.

The ailments are multifactorial characterized by excessive clot (thrombus) formation in the blood vessels. Thrombus could be degraded through thrombolysis mechanism by plasmin activated by various fibrinolysis agents including, urokinase, nattokinase, or streptokinase. However, the use of these agents is restricted by relatively high cost, short half-life, allergic reaction, and bleeding effects. The search for more economical and safer thrombolytic (clot lysis) agents are essential to address the underlying problem in CVD therapy. Among Holothurians, H. scabra has been known to have the highest protein content making it ideal substrate for protease enzymes including fibrinolytic types with clot lysis properties. However, isolation of a proteases with antithrombotic activities either from tissue or from bacteria of H. scabra has not been reported. This study aimed to screen proteolytic and clo...
