Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to a method for producing polypeptides containing the tripeptide VPP.
  • the method encompasses growing genetically modified microorganisms containing a recombinant Bile Salt-Stimulated Lipase (BSSL) fragment and hydrolyzing the proteinaceous matter to purify the polypeptide.
  • BSSL Bile Salt-Stimulated Lipase
  • This polypeptide contains significant amounts of the tripeptide VPP. The VPP may then be further purified from this polypeptide.
  • Hypertension is generally known as the "silent killer" because its only readily detectable symptom is an abnormally increased blood pressure.
  • Abnormally increased blood pressure is clinically defined as a systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mmHg.
  • Hypertension is the primary risk factor for coronary, cerebral, and renal vascular diseases, which collectively cause over half o.f all deaths in the United States. And no single or specific cause is known for the hypertension referred to as primary (essential) hypertension.
  • renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in salt-water homeostasis and the maintenance of vascular tone.

  • Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is an important mediator in the renin- angiotensin system.
  • ACE acts on angiotensin I, which is formed by decomposition of angiotensin secreted by the liver, by an enzyme, renin, produced in the kidney, and converts it to angiotensin II.
  • Angiotensin II then increases blood pressure by contracting the smooth muscles of the blood vessel walls and promoting secretion of aldosterone by action on the adrenal cortex.
  • ACE decomposes and inactivates a protein called bradykinin. Bradykinin dilates the blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Therefore, a common method of decreasing blood pressure in an individual is to inhibit the activity of ACE.
  • Several compounds have been studied for their ability to reduce blood pressure by inhibiting the function of ACE in the renin-angiotensin mechanism.
  • ACE inhibiting substances are known and commonly used for the purpose of decreasing blood pressure in patients.
  • ACE inhibiting pharmaceuticals is the synthetic chemical product known as captopril (D-2-methyl-3-mercaptopropanoyl-L-proline) , which is an oral hypotensive agent .
  • captopril D-2-methyl-3-mercaptopropanoyl-L-proline
  • anti-hypertensive agents possess significant side effects including elevation of blood lipids and glucose. Also, special care must be taken to monitor the safety of synthetic chemical products for anti-hypertensive use.

  • Expression vectors may also contain a ribosome binding site for translation initiation, and a transcription terminator. The vector may also contain sequences useful for the amplification of gene expression.
  • Expression and cloning vectors can and usually do contain a selection gene or selection marker. Typically, this gene encodes a protein necessary for the survival or growth of the host cell transformed with the vector.
