Characterization and Mechanism of Tea Polyphenols Inhibiting Biogenic Amine Accumulation in Marinated Spanish Mackerel

Putrescine is a low-molecular-weight organic compound that is widely found in pickled foods. Although the intake of biogenic amines is beneficial to humans, an excessive intake can cause discomfort. In this study, the ornithine decarboxylase gene (ODC) was involved in putrescine biosynthesis. After...

description Putrescine is a low-molecular-weight organic compound that is widely found in pickled foods. Although the intake of biogenic amines is beneficial to humans, an excessive intake can cause discomfort. In this study, the ornithine decarboxylase gene (ODC) was involved in putrescine biosynthesis. After cloning, expression and functional verification, it was induced and expressed in <i>E. coli</i> BL21 (DE3). The relative molecular mass of the recombinant soluble ODC protein was 14.87 kDa. The function of ornithine decarboxylase was analyzed by determining the amino acid and putrescine content. The results show that the ODC protein could catalyze the decarboxylation of ornithine to putrescine. Then, the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme was used as a receptor for the virtual screening of inhibitors. The binding energy of tea polyphenol ligands to the receptor was the highest at −7.2 kcal mol<sup>−1</sup>. Therefore, tea polyphenols were added to marinated fish to monitor the changes in putrescine content and were found to significantly inhibit putrescine production (<i>p</i> < 0.05). This study lays the foundation for further research on the enzymatic properties of ODC and provides insight into an effective inhibitor for controlling the putrescine content in pickled fish.
