Abstract

Glycosylation plays a crucial role in the activity and conformation of proteins/peptides.This study utilized the milk fermentation broth of Enterococcus faecium AS8 as a raw material for extracting glycopeptides.The extraction rate of crude glycopeptides was used as a key indicator, and the extraction process was optimized through single factor and response surface experiments.Subsequently, the glycopeptides were purified via gel column chromatography to obtain the AS8 glycopeptide (AGP).AGP was evaluated for purity using SDS-PAGE and HPGPC, followed by the removal of the O-sugar chain in AGP through the β-elimination method to obtain the deglycosylated AS8 glycopeptide (dAGP).AGP and dAGP were then analyzed using infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermal stability, and antioxidant activity measurements to preliminarily investigate the impact of O-glycosylation on the structure and antioxidant activity of AGP.Results indicated that deglycosylation led to a significant reduction in the intensity of certain infrared absorption peaks of the AGP, as well as a decrease in the main secondary structure β-folding.Additionally, there was an increase in endogenous fluorescence intensity, a red-shift in the maximum emission wavelength, and a decrease in the maximum fluorescence intensity of the exogenous source.The surface hydrophobicity was also reduced, along with a decrease in thermal stability.The microstructure changed from smooth and compact to rough and porous.Furthermore, the scavenging capacity of ABTS cationic free radicals was enhanced, while the scavenging capacity of DPPH radicals and ·OH scavenging capacity decreased.Overall, these findings suggest that the removal of O-glycosyl chains alters the antioxidant activity of AGP and diminishes its structural stability.
