Resumo
Angiotensin-converting enzyme I (ACE) is a key part of the renin-angiotensin system. Its main function is to regulate blood pressure and the balance of salts in the body. Somatic ACE has two domains, N-C-, each of which has a catalytic site that exhibits 60%sequence identity. The N-domain has a specific action in the hydrolysis of beta-amyloid bodies and angiotensin (1–7), which activates the MAS receptor and triggers anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory actions. Our goal was to obtain the catalytic site Ala361 to Gly468 of the N domain region, csACEN, without needing purification by chromatography. We employed a method that uses an Elastin-like Polypeptide (ELP) and Intein sequences linked to the peptide of interest. The more differential for obtaining the pure peptide was the cultivation temperatures in the synthesis of ELPcsACEN at 37 °C, with a significant increase in expression. In the purification by ELP precipitation, we recorded the highest efficiency in the concentrations of 0.57 M and 0.8 M of ammonium sulfate buffer. Intein autocleavage study allows removal of the ELP sequence at acidic pH, with the buffers MES and Tris-HCl The present study defined the best conditions for obtaining pure csACEN that the literature has not yet described for peptides. Obtaining pure csACEN aims at future studies for therapeutic use in hypertension, Alzheimer's, and oncology.
