摘要

The green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been approved as a new food resource. The focus of this study was to try various methods for extracting Chlamydomonas reinhardtii protein and use various proteases for preparing monoamine oxidase (MAO-A) inhibitory peptides. The results demonstrated that a combination of swelling, ultrasound and alkaline dissolution was found to be the best extraction method with a protein extraction percentage of 82.29%; The alkaline protease hydrolysate (APH) possessed the best MAO-A inhibitory activity with the IC50 of 3.437 mg mL−1, and the inhibitory activity of the ultrafiltrated fraction APH-III (< 3 kDa) can reach 73.22 ± 1.31% at 6 mg mL−1. Then, 14 peptides were identified from APH-III by LC–MS/MS. Molecular docking indicated that the top high-binding peptides TEGKIPFWEGQ and GVKYGLHEVDEGATKIVQYL may interacted with MAO-A through some hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic forces. In conclusion, C. reinhardtii-derived protein could be potential source of bioactive peptides with inhibitory effects on depression-related enzyme MAO-A.
