BIOAVAILABILITY
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/750,985, filed October 26, 2018, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This disclosure relates to food supplements that enhance protein bioavailability.
BACKGROUND
[0003] Advances in analytical techniques to measure the bioavailability of proteins have enabled us to identify high protein quality foods critical to our diets. 1 5 One of the most important determinants of protein bioavailability lies in their digestibility within the digestive systems where they are processed. Broad-spectrum proteases, including pepsin, trypsin, amino- and carboxy- peptidases, work together to digest food proteins into small peptides, typically 2-4 amino acids long, for absorption in gastrointestinal tract. 6 However, not all food proteins from our diets are digested/absorbed and some of them are also known to be resistant to proteolytic digest in the gut, thereby limiting the nutritional values. 7 9 In addition, this problem is not limited to foods known to be resistant to proteolytic digestion. For example, whey protein is known to be highly bioavailable and fast-digesting. 10 However, studies have shown that whey protein hydrolysates possess a higher bioavailability than intact whey when the proteins/peptides are given within diet-relevant concentrations. 11 These results suggests that our digestive systems cannot take advantage of all the proteins in our meal even with protein sources of highest quality. Furthermore, another study has shown that administering specific proteolytic enzymes known to be active on whey protein isolate enhances the concentration of postprandial total serum amino acids. 12
[0004] There is a demand for a broad spectrum of proteases to enhance food protein bioavailability in situ. The present disclosure addresses these and other needs. BRIEF SUMMARY

DEFINITIONS
[0015] The terms "identical" or percent "identity," in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences, ( e.g two proteases of the disclosure and polynucleotides that encode them) refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or by visual inspection.
[0016] For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are input into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identity for the test sequence(s) relative to the reference sequence, based on the designated program parameters.
[0017] In the typical embodiment, Promals3D is used for seqeuence alignment and sequence comparisons. See, e.g., Pei, et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 2008 36(7):2295-2300, which is incorporated herein by reference. Other algorithms that are suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity include the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al, J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410, 1990 and Altschuel et al, Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402, 1977, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
[0018] The phrase "substantially identical," in the context of two polynucleotides or polypeptides of the disclosure, refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that have at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or 99% nucleotide or amino acid residue identity, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using one of the above sequence comparison algorithms or by visual inspection. In the typical embodiment, the sequences are at least about 80% identical, usually at least about 90% identical, and often at least 95% identical. Substantial identity can be determined over a subsequence in a given polynucleoide or polypeptide (e.g., in the case of SSEs) or over the entire length of the molecule.
[0019] “Operably linked” indicates that two or more DNA segments are joined together such that they function in concert for their intended purposes. For example, coding sequences are operably linked to promoter in the correct reading frame such that transcription initiates in the promoter and proceeds through the coding segment(s) to the terminator.
[0020] A“polynucleotide” is a single- or double-stranded polymer of deoxyribonucleotide or ribonucleotide bases typically read from the 5’ to the 3’ end. Polynucleotides include RNA and DNA, and may be isolated from natural sources, synthesized in vitro, or prepared from a combination of natural and synthetic molecules. When the term is applied to double- stranded molecules it is used to denote overall length and will be understood to be equivalent to the term "base pairs".
[0021] A“polypeptide” or“protein” is a polymer of amino acid residues joined by peptide bonds, whether produced naturally or synthetically. Polypeptides of less than about 75 amino acid residues are also referred to here as peptides or oligopeptides. [0022] The term“promoter” is used herein for its art-recognized meaning to denote a portion of a gene containing DNA sequences that provide for the binding of RNA polymerase and initiation of transcription of an operably linked coding sequence. Promoter sequences are typically found in the 5’ non-coding regions of genes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The present disclosure provides proteases that can digest a variety of food proteins under acidic conditions of the gut to enhance their protein bioavailability. In particular, the disclosure is based, at least in part, on the discovery of proteases and/or groups of proteases that are particularly active against certain target food proteins or classes of target food proteins. Thus, the present disclosure provides combinations of food proteins and one or more proteases that are selected for the ability to hydrolyse the target food proteins. PROTEASES
[0029] The proteases, also referred to as endopeptidases, useful in the present disclosure are enzymes, typically derived from a microbial source, which are capable of hydrolyzing proteins into small peptides, typically 2-4 amino acids long, for absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Such proteases are active in an acidic pH environment (pH from about 2 to about 6) of the gut. Proteases suitable for use in the present disclosure can be prepared by known methods using publically available sequence information.
[0030] The proteases of the disclosure may be defined by their degree of sequence identity to the exemplified proteases (SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, or 24). In the typical embodiment, the amino acid sequences of the proteases of the disclosure are at least substantially identical (as defined above) to the sequence of one or more of the exemplified proteases.
[0031] Proteases of the disclosure can also be identified by sequence comparisons that take into account the secondary structure elements (SSEs) in the protein. SSEs can be identified using, for example, Jpre4 (on the internet at compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jpred). The algorithm is also described in Drozdetskiy et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 43:Wl, W389-W394, 2015. FIG. 4 shows an alignment of the predicted secondary structure elements in the 12 exemplified proteases. The highlighted residues are the 80 structurally conserved residues that define the protease enzyme scaffold of the exemplified proteases. For example, the following 80 residues make up the SSE sequences of SEQ ID NO: 18 (Protease 9): 163-164 (E), 171-173 (E), 227-231 (H), 245-250 (E), 258-267 (H), 313-318 (E), 332-338 (H), 346-347 (E), 366-374 (H), 379-383 (E), 415-416 (E), 489-491 (E), 496-498 (E), 503-518 (H), 530 (H). (E = beta-sheet, H = alpha-helix).
[0032] “SSE sequence identity” is determined by aligning a test protein sequence with a protease of the disclosure (the reference sequence) using the alignment tools described above. The SSE sequence identity is then determined by calculating the percent sequence identity for the test SSE sequences relative to the reference SSE sequences. Usually, the SSE sequences are at least substantially identical (as defined above) to the SSE sequences of one or more of the exemplified proteases.
[0033] A protease of the disclosure may be further identified by the presence of certain active site residues that align with the active site residues identified in one or more of the exemplified proteases. Active site residues in the exemplified proteases can easily be determined by reference to FIG. 2. In particular, the active site residues of the 12 exemplified proteases are those residues in each protease that correspond to residues 346, 380, 403-405, 437-441, 460, and 572-576 identified in FIGS. 1 and 2. The“active site sequence” of any protease of the disclosure is formed by extracting the amino acids from these positions and concatenating them together. Thus, the active site sequence of each of the 12 exemplifed proteases is as follows:
Protease 1: EFSWGAAGDDDGGTSA (SEQ ID NO:38);
Protease 2: EFSWGAAGDDDGGTSA (SEQ ID NO:38);
Protease 3: EFSWGASGDDCGGTSA (SEQ ID NO:39);
Protease 4: EFSWGASGDSDGGTSA (SEQ ID NO:40);
Protease 5: EFSWGASGDSDGGTSA (SEQ ID NO:40);
Protease 6: EFSWGASGDSDGGTSA (SEQ ID NO:40);
Protease 7: ELSFGSSGDASGGTSL (SEQ ID NO:4l);
Protease 8: EFSWGAAGDSDGGTSA (SEQ ID NO:42);
Protease 9: ELSLGSSGDESGGTSL (SEQ ID NO:43);
Protease 10: EFSWGASGDHNGGTSA (SEQ ID NO:44);
Protease 11 : EF S W GAAGDNDGGTS A (SEQ ID NO:45);
Protease 12: EFS W GAS GDNDGGTS A (SEQ ID NO:46).
[0034] In the typical embodiment, the active site sequences of the proteases of the disclosure are at least substantially identical (as defined above) to the active site sequences of one or more of the exemplified proteases. Thus, for example, a protease of the disclosure can be identified by alignment to SEQ ID NO: 18 (Protease 9) and identifying those residues that align with residues 296, 330, 349, 350, 351, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 406, 500, 501, 502, 503, 504 in SEQ ID NO: 18 (the active site sequence). In this example, a protease of the disclosure can be identified as one having an active site sequence at least substantially identical (as described above) to the active site sequence of Protease 9 (SEQ ID NO: 18). A pairwise comparison of the active site sequences of the 12 exemplified proteases is shown in FIG. 5. [0035] In some preferred embodiments of the disclosure, a protease of the disclosure can be identified by both SSE sequence identity and active site sequence identity analyses described above. Thus, a protease of the disclosure can be identified as as one having SSE sequences at least substantially identical to the SSE sequences of one or more of the exemplified proteases and an active site sequence at least substantially identical to the active site sequence of of one or more of the exemplified proteases.
[0036] One of skill will recognize that the proteases of the disclosure may be modified for any of a number of desired properties, such as stability, increased enzymatic activity, and the like. Typically, a modified protease of the disclosure will maintain at least about 90% of the enzymatic activity of the unmodified form, as measured using a standard assay for protease activity. Such assays can also be used to confirm that a protease identified by the sequence and/or structural analyses described above is a protease of the disclosure. A typical assay is performed using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. The proteolytic activities are determined through monitoring the disappearance of food protein bands on SDS-PAGE gels after an overnight incubation with each protease. 13-15
[0037] The proteases of the disclosure or nucleic acids encoding them are usually derived from microbial sources, such as fungi, bacteria, and the like. Methods for identifying and isolating desired proteins and nucleic acids are well known to those of skill in the art.
[0038] The proteases of the disclosure can be made using standard methods well known to those of skill in the art. For example, shorter polypeptides (i.e., oligopeptides) can be made synthetically. For longer polypeptides, recombinant expression can be conveniently used. Recombinant expression in a variety of host cells, including prokaryotic hosts, such as E. coli and eukaryotic cells, such as yeast, is well known in the art. The nucleic acid encoding the desired protease is operably linked to appropriate expression control sequences for each host. Appropriate control sequences useful in any particular expression system are well known to those of skill in the art.
[0039] Polynucleotides encoding proteases, recombinant expression vectors, and host cells containing the recombinant expression vectors, can be used to produce the proteases of the disclosure. The methods for making and using these materials to produce recombinant proteins are well are well known to those of skill in the art.
[0040] The polynucleotides encoding proteases may be synthesized or prepared by techniques well known in the art. Nucleotide sequences encoding the proteases of the disclosure may be synthesized, and/or cloned, and expressed according to techniques well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide sequences will be codon optimized for a particular host cell using standard methodologies. Exemplified polynucleotide sequences codon optimized for expression in E. coli are provided.
[0041] Once expressed, the recombinant proteases can be purified according to standard procedures of the art, including ammonium sulfate precipitation, affinity columns, column chromatography, gel electrophoresis and the like. In a typical embodiment, the recombinantly produced protease is expressed as a fusion protein that has a“tag” at one end which facilitates purification of the polypeptide. Suitable tags include epitope tags and affinity tags such as a polyhistidine tag which will bind to metal ions such as nickel or cobalt ions.

FOOD SUPPLEMENTS AND FOOD PRODUCTS
[0103] Proteases of the disclosure can be used in the manufacture of food supplements ( e.g dietary supplements, nutritional supplements, sports nutrition supplements, digestive aid supplements, and the like) of various dosage forms, including for example, tablet, capsule, powder, granule, pellet, soft gel, hard gel, controlled release form, liquid, syrup, suspension, emulsion, and the like. Any commercially acceptable formulation known to be suitable for use in food products may be used in the food supplements of the present disclosure. Thus, the food supplement of the disclosure may further comprise components such as a bulking agent, a carrier, a sweetener, a coating, a preservative, a binding agent, a dessicant, a lubricating agent, a filler, a solubilizing agent, an emulsifier, a stabilizer, a matrix modifier, and the like.
[0104] Examples of bulking agents suitable for use in the present disclosure include gum acacia, gum arabic, xanthan gum, guar gum, and pectin. Example of carriers include maltodextrin, polypropylene, starch, modified starch, gum, proteins, and amino acids. Examples of sweeteners include glucose, fructose, stevia, acesulfame potassium, and erythritol. Examples of coatings include ethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and shellac. Examples of preservatives include benzoic acid, benzyl alcohol, and calcium acetate. Examples of binding agents include croscarmellose sodium, povidone, and dextrin. Examples of dessicants include silicon dioxide, and calcium silicate. Examples of lubricating agents include magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and silicon dioxide. Examples of fillers include maltodextrin, dextrin, starch, and calcium salts. Examples of solubilizing agents include cyclodextrin, and lecithin. Examples of emulsifiers include vegetable oils, fatty acids and mono-, and di- and triglycerides, such as medium chain triglycerides or their esters. Suitable stabilizers include agar, pectin and lecithin. Suitable matrix modifiers are those with a buffering capacity between pH 1 and pH 6 and known to be suitable for use in food products. Examples include salts of weak organic and inorganic acids, such as flavonoids, flavonols, isoflavones, catechins, gallic acid, monohydrate or dihydrate phosphates, sulfates, ascorbates, amino acids, sodium citrate, citric acid, benzoates, gluconic acid, acetic acid, picolinic acid, nicotinic acid, and phenolic or polyphenolic compounds. One of ordinary skill in the art can readily determine the amount of each ingredient to be added to the food supplement. [0105] As noted above, the present disclosure is based, at least in part, on the discovery of combinations of proteases, or combination of proteases, that are particularly effective in digesting certain target food proteins. The food supplement may be designed to be ingested with the food product comprising the target food protein or may be ingested just before or just after the food product, typically within 2 hours before or after ingesting the food product. Thus, for the purposes of the present disclosure, a protease of the disclosure, or a food supplement comprising the protease, is“ingested with” a food product, if it is ingested simultaneously with the food product or within 2 hours before or after ingestion of the food product. In those cases in which the protease is ingested simultaneously with the food product, the food supplement may not be a separate composition from the food product and the proteases and other food supplement components, if present, will be incorporated into the food product.
[0106] The food products used with the food supplements of the disclosure may be any food product comprising the food proteins identified here. Thus, for example, the food product may be an unprocessed plant or animal part ( e.g beans, peas, chicken parts, beef and the like) or may be a processed food product comprising or derived from one or more of the food proteins identified here. For example, the food products may comprise a plant or animal protein isolate or protein concentrate (e. g., soy protein, casein, or whey).
[0107] In the typical embodiment, a unit dose of a food supplement of the disclosure will typically comprise from about 0.01 mg/gram food protein or 0.001% (w/w) to about 50 mg/gram food protein or 5% (w/w) , usually from about 1 mg/gram food protein or 0.1% (w/w) to 10 mg/gram food protein or 1.0% (w/w), of each protease.
[0108] One of skill will appreciate that the compositions of the disclosure, either food supplements or food products, can comprise more than one of the proteases of the disclosure. For example, the compositions may comprise one, two three, four, or more proteases that are effective for a single food product or group of food products.
EXAMPLES
[0109] The following examples are offered to illustrate, but not to limit the claimed disclosure.
[0110] To fully realize the protein nutritional values in food, 12 proteolytic enzymes that were predicted to be active under acidic environment (pH 2.0-5.0) have been identified and characterized. These 12 proteases cover a diverse sequence space and multiple sequence alignment analysis reveals that they share an average pairwise sequence identity of 35%. These enzymes have been recombinantly produced in E. coli and their proteolytic activities have been tested on a total of 57 food substrates. (Table 1)
Table 1. List of 57 food sources tested.
[0111] The digestive properties of each enzyme were examined using SDS-PAGE electrophoretic analysis and a wide range of proteolytic activities were found. Proteolytic activity of each enzyme was determined as follows. The protease activity is measured using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The digestion assay for each food-protease pair was performed by incubating 2mM of each individual protease with each food source (Table 2) at 37 ° C for 12 hours at pH 4.5 in reaction buffer (lOOmM acetate lOOmM NaCl). The samples were subsequenctly spun down at 4,700 rpm for 10 minutes and heated at 70 ° C for 10 minutes in IX laemmli buffer. The samples were then loaded onto a 12% polyacrylamide gel for proteolytic products separation and the gel was stained with commassie blue stains for protein bands visualization. Protease activities were determined by monitoring the disappearance of protein bands compared to a negative control sample where no protease was added to the reaction mixture.
Table 2. Amount of food protein used in each proteolytic digest reaction.
[0112] Results showed that these proteolytic enzymes, when added to the food sources tested, degraded the major protein species into smaller peptides with diverse activities and specificities (FIG. 3). Each of these proteases provide unique functions that allow the targeted digestion of the major protein species in each individual food source tested.
[0113] It is understood that the examples and embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and that various modifications or changes in light thereof will be suggested to persons skilled in the art and are to be included within the spirit and purview of this application and scope of the appended claims. All publications, patents, and patent applications cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes.
