Journal ArticleDOI
Native-feather degradation by Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1, a newly isolated keratinase-producing thermophilic anaerobe
Gae Won Nam,Dong Woo Lee,Han Seoung Lee,Nam Lee,Byoung-Chan Kim,Eun Ah Choe,Jae Kwan Hwang,Maggy Thenawidjaja Suhartono,Yu Ryang Pyun +8 more
TL;DR: The enzyme from F. islandicum AW-1 is a novel, thermostable keratinolytic serine protease that showed higher specific activity for the keratinous substrates than other proteases and catalyzed the cleavage of peptide bonds more rapidly following the reduction of disulfide bridges in feather keratin by 10 mM dithiothreitol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a keratinase activity assay using recombinant chicken feather keratin substrates.
Hyeon Su Jin,Seon Yeong Park,Kyung-Min Kim,Yong Jik Lee,Gae Won Nam,Nam Joo Kang,Dong Woo Lee +6 more
TL;DR: The soluble keratin-based assay has clear therapeutic and industrial potential for the development of a high-throughput screening system for proteases hydrolyzing disease-related protein aggregates, as well as mechanically resilient keratinolytic polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Matrix Metalloproteinase-1-Suppressive Peptides in Feather Keratin Hydrolysate
Hyeon Su Jin,Kyeongseop Song,Je Hyun Baek,Jae Eun Lee,Da Jeong Kim,Gae Won Nam,Nam Joo Kang,Dong Woo Lee +7 more
TL;DR: Low-molecular-weight MMP-1-suppressive peptides in feather keratin hydrolysate obtained by anaerobic digestion with an extremophilic bacterium could serve as novel bioactive compounds to protect the skin against intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
