AB Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are caused by accumulation of highly resistant miss folded amyloid prion protein PrPres and can be initiated by penetration of such pathogen molecules from infected tissue to intact organism. Decontamination of animal meal containing amyloid prion protein is proposed thanks to the use of proteolytic enzymes secreted by thermophilic bacteria Thermoanaerobacter, Thermosipho and Thermococcus subsp. and mesophilic soil bacteria Streptomyces subsp. Keratins a and b, which remind amyloid structures were used as the substrates for the screening for microorganisms able to grow on keratins and producing efficient proteases specific for hydrolysis of beta sheeted proteic structures hence amyloids. Secretion of keratin-degrading proteases was evidenced by zymogram method. Enzymes from thermophilic strains VC13, VC15, S290 and Streptomyces subsp. S6 were strongly active against amyloid recombinant ovine prion protein and animal meal proteins. Studied proteases displayed broad primary specificities hydrolyzing low-molecular mass peptide model substrates. Strong amyloidolytic activity of detected proteases was confirmed by experiments of hydrolysis of PrPres in SAFs produced from brain homogenates of mice infected with the 6PB1 BSE strain. The proteases from Thermoanaerobacter subsp. S290 and Streptomyces subsp. S6 are the best candidates for neutralization/elimination of amyloids in MBM and other protein containing substances and materials.

IN Nicht nur anaeriobe thermophile (bevorzugt über 50° arbeitende) Bakterien wie Thermoanaerobacter, Thermosipho and Thermococcus subsp, sondern auch mesophile (bevorzugt bei 30-40° arbeitende) gram-positive Streptomyces-Bodenbakterien scheinenmit ihren Proteasen in der Lage zu sein, Prionen abzubauen.
